One of the Statutory effects of
the present depression in this
country is the stop it has, and will
for some time to come, put to the
Wholesale immigration that has
been going on for years. There is
plenty of room in this country. but
it takes time for immigrants to be-
come assimilated, which, owing to
the great numbers has not been
the case, causing on over-supply
of labor and consequently increas-
ing hard times.
ave firmly believe" says the
indianapolis News, "that the only
hope Of salvation for the Demo.
cratic party-nOt only next tall,
but in 1896 as well-lies in the
prompt enactment of the Wilson
bill into law. They may lose the
next congress, whatever they do.
But if they indorse McKinleyism
by failing to kill it, it will take q
miracle to save them in 1896. And
the age of miracles is gone" And,
yet, 1t seems that the present Con.
gress is trying to bring about the
result the News fears.

Professor Tyndall had taken Sleep
ing drafts of one kind or other for
years. His usual quantity" accord
ing to DIR. Buzzard, was II teaspoon
fuls every night. 1t had evidently
become habit with him even more
than a necessity, or it was necessi-
ty only because it was habit. Yet
we have the authority of The British
Medical Journal in an article devoted
to this particular case for the asser-
ton that 80 in 100 of those sleep
ing doses are worse than useless, even
for any purpose of relief worthy of
the name. Insomnia, we are told,

and it is the clear duty of every suf-
ferer to ascertain the cause with a
view to its removal by legitimate
treatment
OF all the empirical treatments,
that by chloral is probably the worst.
The temporary relief which it affords
tends to divert attention from more
radical measures The sham solace
being always at hand, the true one is

thousands before this; it ought not
to claim as many more victims be-
fore it is laid aside forever. Or, if it
does, this great national loss we have
just sustained should be held equiv
alent, for the purpose of warming
and example, to the total count.

Ruined His stomaob For scienoe.

One of the most singular things
about the great nervous specialist,
the late DR.. Brown Sequard, was the
way in which he saved his nerves for
science, but injured his stomach for
the same cause Throughout his life
he was opposed to the use of tobacco.

cause 1 have seen the most evident
proofs of the injurious effects of to.
bacco on the nervous system" But
his desire to investigate the contents
of his own stomach, by swallowing
sponges to which thread was tied
and pulling them up to examine the
gastric juice which they had alb
sorbed, brought on a rare affection,
known as merycism, or rumination,
which compelled him to masticate
his food asecond time.-Detroit Free

Travelling as am, remarked a
well known man about town, s'con-
stantly from city to city, have oc-
casion to remark the characteristics
of numerous trade centers, and I
want to impress upon you this one
fact, that the growth of our modern
American cities is due to young men.
You may argue to the contrary, but
this one thing holds good, that when
a city begins to grow and improve it
is either a very young and new site
or the elder population have begun
to drop of. Every city ON the CONT
nent will afford the positive oc mega
tive view of this fact either old men
are living to conserve the unbrol1sn
tenor of their business way or the
young men have stepped in their
shoes to scatter the careful policy to
the winds and venture upon new
schemes. Old men live to save and
young men to spend.
"a city usually passes through Pc
riods of so years of 7'Pset ? pgress and
then 20 years of rush This comes
from the fact that the 20 years of
rush constitute the early business
lives of young men just come intoin-
herited wealth, and the last so years
mark the period of solemn thought
and the desire for absolute security
in the matter of general wealth. New
cities are examples of places where
conservatism has never been, because
old men have not hocked there TO
make their fortunes. Old cities with
q period of progress come upon them
