ST. WTUS DANCE.
A CURE FOUND FOR THE TER
RIBLE MALADY.
Read the Recent Letter From DIR.
Edward F. White, of Boston.

1t is hard to imagine a more terrible
malady, or one that calls for more
sympathy, than ST. VituS Dance. For
years the brightest and best physicians
have sought for a remedy for this
awful affliction. They knew the nerv-
Gus systems of the sufferers were shat
nervines had been tried-but without
avail Now, however, the greatest
medical discovery of this century, COM
pounded upon the prescription of the
greatest modern specialist in nervous
diseases, avails where all others failed.
1t is not surprising, for as a specific
in all diseases arising from nervous
troubles, DR.. Charcot's Kola Nervine
Tablets have, over and over again,
proven themselves without an equal.
They are a boon to the thousands af-
fiicted with st. Vitus Dance or COM
plants due to weak nerves, poor blood,
impaired physical or mental vigor.
Read this terse statement from one of
Bostons best known physicians:
"43 Somerset St, Boston, Nov. II, 1895.
I have used DR.. Charcot's Kola Ner-
vine Tablets in two cases of Chorea (St.
Vitus Dance and have met with excel
lent results. Would heartily recon-
mend my brother physicians, who have
such cases, to give these Tablets fair
trial. DIR. Edward F. White

New York Sun.
Ihe census recently taken oR the in
habitants of little Rhode Island pre-
serves the states claim, which, al
though often disputed, has not been
overcome for more than a century, of
being the most thickly populated state
In the union. Rhode Island is the
smallest of the states in respect of era,
covering only 1900 square miles, while
Delaware has 2,100, Connecticut 1900
and New Jersey $500. But the popula-
ton of the state is in excess of $50, 900
and increasing rapidly. During the first
twenty years following the Revolution
ary war Rhode Island, which became
state in 1890, gained very little in
population, and in the year 1860 the
total population reached only 175, 900, or
less than half of what it is today.
with the enormous increase of manu-
IactureS, however, during and since
the close OF the war; the industrial
population of the Unions smallest
state, which now has $4,000, 900 invested
in the cotton factories, and as much
more in woolen mills, has taken
rapid jump upward.
Since the taking of the first federal
census in 1890, when there were on the
average sixty-three persons to Tie
square mile in Rhode Island, until the
present, when the average number is
354, the state has retained it's d.stinc-
ton of being the most closely populat-
ed in the country Massachusetts has
hold tho r1o
had the third until 1870, when New Jer
sey superseded it, and Connecticut fell
to fourth place. Compared with some
European countries, however, the pres
ent density of population does not ap-
pear so great. By the last official emu
meratfon the population per square
mile in Belgium was $50 and in England
505
l. Rhode Island has a water area Of 165
square miles, which is more. than one
tenth the total surface of the state
The gain in it's population has been
greatest, Of course, in the large cities,
but the manufacturing Industries of
Rhode Island are diffused so generally
| that there are more than a dozen small
towns with rapidly increasing industrial
| population. Between 1870 and 1890 Paw
tucket increased in population from
$500 to 27,O0O, Woonsocket from II 900 to
10000 and Providence from $4,000 to

only twenty-five square miles, where
as New York, prior to the annexation
of the new Westchester territory, had
a land area Of forty square miles. An
erroneous notion prevails in many
quarters that what regulates the densi-
! ty of population in state or country is
the compact habitation of all parts Of

of population to the square mile comes
from the number of cities and towns

PATRIOTIC HARVEY.
He Launches IL New Party for the
Benefit of His Country.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-W. H. Harvey,
the apostle of free silver, who is bet
ter known as "Coin," today launched
his new political party. According to
the prospectus which Mr.. Harvey gave
out, it is to be an oath-bound secret
organization with the title of patriots
of America" Its especial mission is to
advance the cause of free silver, as
well as eliminate selflshness from poll
tics, and it is expected to rapidly over
come all existing political parties.
The national officers are:
Charles H. Mcclure, national recorder,
and James F. Adams, national treas
urer. Mr.. Harvey was first elected
head of the order and he then ap-
pointed Messrs. Adams and Mcclure,
and the organization was declared
complete.
No salary attaches to any of the Of
and Mr.. Mcclure announces he will not
accept this. On the first Tuesday of
next April, however, when the organi-
zation is expected to be in good work
ing order, an election will be held, and
a new set of officers chosen or the pres
ent set reelected. The constitution
expressly provides no national officer
can accept any elective or appointiye
office, nor can he acquire property in
excess of 100000.
A side order, called the Daughters
of the Republic, is also to be started.
Its membership will be confined to the
gentler sex, and the head of it will
of the republic. 1t is not to be female
suffrage organization, but rather a
helping hand to the Patriots of Amer
lea, who are expected to do the voting.

CURIOsITIEs ABOUT PRINTING.
How the Art Was First Practiced
in China.

III ShIhas
ST. Louis Republic.
China, the 'cradle of the arts"
claims the honor of the invention of
printing. Away back in the year 593,
nearly 1,OO0 years before Gutenberg
isued the first volume of his
famous Bible, the Chinese were using
the "block system" of printing, and in
the Tenth century, 400 years before
Europe had become acquainted with
the "art preservative," the almond
eyed Celestial typos were better versed
in the science of setting movable types
than were the American printers in the
days of Benjamin Franklin. The
"block system" of printing, which was
so we'll known in the Flowery King
dom less than six centuries after the
birth of Christ, did not find its way to
Europe until about the first of the
Fifteenth century, when devotional
manuals" each bearing a portrait and
few lines in printing, became popu-
lar. These cuts and printed lines were
taken from engravings made on sin
gle block, the very earliest dated spec
linen of that character made in Europe
bearing date Of 1923
There is still a question as to who
was the first European printer to use
the movable types. 1t is not question
as to what European invented movable
types, for 1t is known that the honor
belongs in the far East. The honor of
being the first to adopt the system ap-
pears to rest between Laurenz Coster,
of HARLEM died 144O), John Faust and
John Gutenberg. In the above list
some include the name of Peter Schof-
fer a son-in-law Of Faust. Dutch au-
thorities claim that Coster was the
first to use movable types, and that
Gutenberg, who was at one time
workman in Coster's shop, stole the
idea from him. The Germans give
Gutenberg the honor and set the date
of his first successful practice OIL the
art at 1436. The first entire European
book ever printed from movable types
bears the name of Johann Faust on
it's title page. It bore the name Of
'Tractatus Petri Hispani," and was
printed at Mentz in 1442. AS Gutenberg
did not put his name on all of his
books, or the date when they were
issued, there is some doubt when the
first appeared or how many were is
sued. Gutenberg's great work was his
Latin Bible, which appeared in 1456,
and which is often catalogued as the
first book ever printed on movable
types"

the average plant bears about 10000
orr 30 900 seeds. The most important
mode of distribution Of the seed, and
the principal one furnished by nature,
Is the wind. In the winter the plant

LION AND ELEPHANT.
Engage in n Deadly COmbat-The
Lion Finally Killed.

London Telegraph.
According to. Yeovil correspondent,
a lion got loose on Wednesday from its
cage in Messrs. Anderton & Has
lam's menagerie at Martock and at
tackled an elephant which was chained
up in a large tent. Capt. Rowland,
who has charge of the wild beasts,
stated in an interview that the lion
that escaped was one of a group re-
Gently purchased by the firm. He had
gone through his afternoon perform
ance with the animals and had left
the show in charge of the attendants,
whose duty 1t was to clean out the
cages. He was fetched again in great
haste. On returning to the exhibition
he found one of the lions underneath tn
the elephant which was making a
terrific noise, screeching and screaming.
Capt. Rowland first made the lion s
cage safe by barring the door, and
then turned his attention to the es-
capped animal. He feared that the en-
ragged elephant would break his chain
and smash down the partition of the
tent, in which case the lion would have
escaped into the town. He secured a
revolver and got on to the top of
one of the caravans, and fired several
shots at the lion, fortunately, killing
it on the spot. He examined the ele-
phant and found that it was not much
injured. The other beasts were in

DaI<Ota1s Pest, the Russian This
tie. Thrives on the Seaboard.
New York Herald.
The Russian thistle, which first made
it's appearance in this country about
1873 in Bonhomme county, South Da-
kota, has at last found its way east.
It's appearance was discovered by w.
NJ. Van Sickle, supervising principal
of the schools of western New York,
who has devoted much of his time to
the study of botany. He first saw the
weed last August in the West Shore
railroad yards at Weehawken, where,
in search for botanical specimens, he
discovered other weeds from the
Northwest.
When Mr.. Van Sickle felt sure that
it really was the Russian thistle he
notified Prof. L. H. Dewey, of the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton. To convince Prof. Dewey that he
had made no mistake Mr.. Van Sickle
forwarded a specimen. Prof. Dewey
then communicated with Prof. Hal
stead, of the New Jersey agricultural
department at Trenton, and requested
that he visit the place and confirm Mr..
Van Sickle's statements. Prof. Hal
stead visited the West Shore railroad
yards on Saturday and found the
school superintendent was not mis-
taken. Between the tracks, covering
an area of perhaps thirty feet were at
least $50 plants, each about twelve
inches in height. These Prof. Hal
stead gathered and took with him to
Trenton. He was of the opinion that
the seeds had been carried East in a.
cattle car. The plant is an annual
one, so it is almost certain that its
introduction has been within the last
six months. This opinion is also
based upon the smallness of the speci-
mems found, as the average plant is
about three feet high.
Until Mr.. Van Sickle's discovery it
was supposed that the Russian thistle
had penetrated no further east than
Indiana. The plant is supposed to
have been introduced into this coun-'
try in some flaxseed which came from
Russia in the early seventies. This
seed was Sown in Dakota, but as that
district was heavily wooded at that
time it got little chance to spread. AS
the timber gradually disappeared be-
fore the inroads of civilization the
weed became more noticeable, until,
in 1893, it covered half the area of
South Dakota. In the next year it
covered greater part of North Da-
kota, all of South Dakota and the east
ern part of Nebraska. 1t is estimated
that at present it covers an almost
continuous area of about 10000 square
miles.
"The plant is really neither thistle
nor cactus" said Mr. Van Sickle YES
terday: "It is generally called Rus
sian thistle in South Dakota and Rus
sian cactus In North Dakota, and in
other places Russian tumble-weed. A
single plant is about two or three feet
in diameter, and when dry it weighs
ABOUT two pounds. 1t Is estimated that

LOGAN WROTE a BOOK.
Identity of the Author of Uncle
Daniels Story Discovered.

DuDieSS Story Discovered.
CHICAGO, Dee. IA special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
John \. LCgan's secret is out at last.
In 1856 book appeared from the press
of a New York firm, entitled Uncle
Daniels Story of Tom Anderson and
Twenty Great Battles" 1t was pub
lished anonymously "by an officer of
the Union army" Many prominent
public men were covertly attacked in
Its pages, their names being para
phrased. Some of them, conspicuOusly
Senator VOORHEES,, of Indiana. pIb-
lished interviews in self-defenSe. All
efforts to Identify the author proved
fruitless. But the secret is now out.
John A. Logan was the author and
Tom Anderson was himself.
Gen. Logan wrote this book in 1884
and the following year. He began it
while he was on the Republican ticket
with Blaine as a candidate for vice
president
Gen. Logan told those who were hon
ored with his confidence that all the
incidents used in his book were actual
occurrences. He regarded the story
more as an autobiography than any
thing else. The framework of the
story was imaginary, but its substance
was drawn from Gen. Logan's own
experience and observations.
In order to conceal his identity and
to avoid pointed references to promin-
ent men in military and civil life, Gen.
Logan changed geographical and prop
er names to suit his purpose, though
nearly always leaving d clue to his
meaning The story is told by Uncle
Daniel after the close of the war, ana
this Uncle Daniel" in real life was
Daniel McCook, father of the famous
family of McCook boys, who entered
the army from Ohio.
Col. Bush, a man with but one arm,
asks Uncle Daniel for story OF some
of his experiences of the war. UNCLE
Daniel arises, delivers a short melo-
dramatic prologue, and begins by tell
ing about a riot in Allentown in the
month of -, 1861 Dan Bowen, a
prominent man in that part of the
state, had excited the people by de-
nouncing the war as IAN infamous
abolition crusade" the president as a
"villainous tyrant," and the United
States soldiers as "Lincoln's hirelings
and dogs with collars around their
necks." Here Col. Bush interrupts the
old man by asking him what became
of this man Bowen. 81 understnd,
replies Daniel that he now occupies
one of the highest positions the people
of Indiana can give to one of her citi-
Zens." This was said in 1884. The book
contains attacks upon other men then
