was instantly killed near Middlebury Tues
day, while drawing lumber. He drove off

Is Alix Easter Than Maud S?

Robert Bonner does not believe Alix's
2:O33l is any faster than Maud SIS 2:0SA.
Only five of the 80 trotters in the 2:10 list
made their records to a high wheel sulky.
These are Sunol, 2:OSL; Maud S, 2:0S@4;
Palo Alto, 2:0SM; Allerton, 2;09I; JAY
Eye-Sec, 2:10. All the others had the od-
vantage of bicycle sulky, which is from
five to six seconds faster than the high
wheel. Sunol is the fastest trotter to a
high wheel, but her record was made en-
a kite track, which is considerably faster
for old fashioned sulkies than the oval.
The one long turn produces less friction
than two shorter turns. The pneumatic
tire runs so easily on the turn that the
kite handicap disappears when it is used.
The fastest mile to high wheel sulky on
regulation track is the 2:0SA of Maud S
at Cleveland in 1885. Although Alix has
carried the record down to 2:03A, says
Turf, Field and Farm, grave doubts exist
as to whether she can go to Cleveland and
tr1 a mile to high wheel sulky in 2:0SA.

THE ICE CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.
Immediate Rolief From the Application
of Ice to the Chest.

Of Ice to the Chest.
Recent meteorological researches have
shown that pneumonia patients present in
their sputa a special microbe (the pneu-
mococcus) and that this microbe can he
cultivated and inoculated. According to
writer in the European edition of the
New York Herald, it was not long before
a comparison was made between typhoid
fever and pneumonia fever, and since both
the complaints are of an infectious nature,
and have both well defined temperature
curve, it was easy to forsee that anti
thermic and antiseptic remedies would
render great service in both. Quinine and
saIol have many indications in tho two
diseases, but it remained to be shown IN
what manner refrigeration, which renders
such service in the treatment of typhoid
fever, could be applied to the treatment of
pneumonia.
This has now been done by Mr.. Mays
ut Philadelphia, who claims that the ap-
plication of cold is powerful means of
influencing the course of pneumonia. Its
action is obtained by applying ice to the
chest, and it has the same effect OH the
death rate of pneumonia as it has in ty-
phoid fever. 1t is claimed to modify in a
short time and in very marked manner
the physical signs pain, oppression, cough
and expectoration. Furthermore the pa
tcnts submit to /. quito willingly on &C
count of the feeling of relief that it pro-
duces.
Mr.. Mays has treated in this way so
cases of pneumonia and has in no instance
seen any unfortunate result from it, even
when prolonged for more than two weeks.
He shows that by taking into account diff
fercnt statistics a mortality of 2. 50 per cent
can be obtained, which represents the ap-
plcation of ice to the chest in pneumonia
as a method of treatment eight times moro
favorable than those hitherto known.

1t is an exceedingly unwise thing for a

safer. Congressman Pendleton of West
Virginia promised the farmers of his dis
trict that as result of Democratic legisla-
ton they would be able to secure more
than % cents pound for their wool. They
are now finding it hard work to secure 10
cents a pound. As result their faith in
the GLORIOUS Democracy" is shattered,
and it looks as if they would retire MI.

Mr.. Reed possesses, in Il greater degree
than any ether American statesman, the
faculty of oypressi great economic
truth so clearly and yet in so few words as
to siye it all tie force of an
axiom. The following from his great
Cooper Union speech affords an
excellent example of this power. To-day, p"
he said, protection is founded, like the
prosperity of the country, upon wages
The Republican protective policy simply
says to the foreign manufacturer Before
you can place the products of your cheaper
labor in our markets in competition with the
products of our higher wage labor you
must pay into cur treasury, and thus con-
tribute to our revenue substantially, the
sum which you withhold from your work
iugmen, but which we pay our working
men" Here is a proposition that free
trade sophistry can neither evade nor con-
trovert.

Any man who leaps heavily upon the
deck of an oyster boat is likely to make an
enemy of its master. 1t is a belief of oyster
catchors that the oyster is peculiarly sen.
sitive to such jars. The careful FISHERMAN
never chops wood on deck when he has
cargo on board lest he kill the oysters and
he breads thunder storm for the same
reason.
There was curious spectacle at q

voted. An incident of the same election
was the successful challenging of a minis

are of IRON nine-tenths of which is of Ger

about four to the mile, there being 1900 OF
them, the longest having a stretch of 800

is the only railroad which penetrates the
