From a correspondent in the
United States a big machinery
house here has the following trade
bulletin: Wages in the iron bust
ness have advanced 10 to IL per
cent. and the cost of raw material
80 TO 10 per cent. We are running
extra time with an extra force to
catch up with orders" 1t is an
old commercial saw that the iron
market is the trade barometer. The
present situation iusures good times
in several countries for an indefinite
period. For herself Hawaii sees in
store not only a fullness of indivi-
dual or separate prosperity, but
good share in the period of plenty
elsewhere.

Knocked Out.

The first prosecution under the new
game law, by direction of the state
game warden, or his deputy, in Dunk
lin county, occurred before Squire J..
F. Johnston, of Coldwater, on Mon
day. and resulted in a complete knock
out of the case.
John Howard the fish dealer, was
charged with buying fish that had
been unlawfully caught in seins or
nets. The prosecution was under the
direction of Deputy Game Warden
Vardell. The State was represented
by c. P. Caldwell, deputy prosecuting
attorney, while T. r. r. Ely repre-
sented the defense.
The defense admitted to buying the
fish, but showed that this was not an
offense under the game law of 1895.
l. might have been unlawful under the
act of 1893. but the defense held. and
the justice sustained the view, that the
act of 1893 was repealed by the new
Id" Oi ICJ'). % tile USlcuudHG was
discharged.
AS has been stated before in this
paper, Dunklin county does not de-
mand prosecutions for alleged viola
tions of the game law, SOFAS to inclnde
the dealers in fish. The fish industry
is like our corn and cotton, it brings
money here, it is a regular crop. Last
year there was shipped from Dunklin
county 1872, 400 pounds of fish, and
at even cents pound, that brought
to the county nearly $4,000. The in
1ustry gave employment to many peo-
pie and it did not make the county or
any citizen poorer. And it did not
use one thousandth part of the fish in
the lakes and streams and did not in
terfere with anybody's sport.
Every resident of the county knows
that the fish industry is indeed busi-
ness, and while Dunklin county gets
the benefit, a considerable part of the
output in fact comes from Arkansas
on the west and south and from Penn
iscot county on the east.
Dunklin county is law-abiding, but
we do not believe jury can be OBJ
tanned in its borders thatwill find any
body guilty Of catching or shipping
fish.-Dunklin County Democrat.

Single Taxer to Farmer: What
objections have the citizens of New
York city to raising their revenue for
lessl and State purposes in any way
they choose?"
Farmer to Single Taxer: Il object
to the single tax because it would tax
only land, and as we farmers own
more land than yon city chaps we'd
have to pay most of the taxes
Single Taxer: why, my friend,
you are all twisted on the single tax
question. In the first place we don't
propose to tax land at all, but the
value of the land
Farmer: "What's the difference?''
Single Taxer: "Just this. We have
in New York city lot which 1 can
spit across. That lot is worth more
than your whole county. Now, under
the single tax, that lot would pay
more taxes than your whole county.

DANGERS of the Dustpan.

To those who know the true inward
ness of things, the sight of house
maid brushing dusty carpet is
suggestive of many evils. The death
of Pasteur has reminded the world of
what is constantly present in the
thoughts OF medical men-namely,
that while micro-organisms are the
great producers of disease, dust is the
great carrier of micro-organisms.
Now that We know these things, now
that we understand that in the quiet
hours OF night the germ-laden dust
settles down upon the floor, it is dis
tressing to find how little our knowl-
edge is put to practical use, and to
see old customs still unchanged, old
habits which We know to be destructive
carried on, and to find the housemaid
on her knees, with her brush and
dustpan, stirring up dust to the detri-
ment of every one, and breathing
germ-laden particles to her own de-
struction. It needs but a small amount
of common sense to see that if carpets
must continue-a thing greatly to be
deprecated-they should be rubbed
with damp cloth rather than brushed,
and that if, in Difference to prejudice,
they most be brushed, this should be
done by a covered American sweeper
with plenty of damp tea leaves. OF
all ways of removing dirt from a car
pet the worst is by the use of the ordi-
nary short brush, which involves the
housemaid kneeling down in the midst
of the dust which she so needlessly
creates, and drawing it into her lungs
with every breath. For ordinary
household use something like linoleum,
something which can be washed with
a wet cloth every morning, would
seem to be the best covering for floors;
but if carpets must be, and if it is i'm
possible to teach the present genera
ton the evils of seeking present COM
fort at the expense of future risks, at
least let us remember that carpets may
be washed even when they lie: that,
till the day of washing comes, a closed
sweeper is far better than a brush,
and that the worst form of brush is
one with a short handle.-British

HIS COMPANIONS MISSING.
Robert worlcy Found Murdered and

Women I'm Medicine.

Prof. Albert. of the University, of
Vienna, has published a pamphlet in
which he argues that women ought
not to be encouraged to enter the
medical profession. He declares that
her proper sphere is meternity, and
that although the study OF medicine is
possible to her, it cannot repay for
the immense pains it costs to master
it. She is, he says, for the most part,
physically and psychically incapable
of practically pursuing the profession,
SO that the torture of the many years
required to master it is usually thrown
away and goes unrewarded. The
zoon politicon, he holds, the methodi-
cal being, the animal of culture, is
exclusively the male. But he admits
that the publications which women
undeniably possess for dealing with
the sick may be utilized in another
way. He proposes to make women
who have received certain amount
of education the regular assistants of
physicians and surgeons in hospitals
as we'll as out of them. For this pur-
pose they should receive instruction
in the elements of anOtomy, physiolo-
gy, hygiene, chemistry and natural
science, and this should be followed
by theoretical and practical lnstruc-
ton, say, for a couple of terms in
surgery, gynaecology and midwifery.
They would then be qualified to be
doctors assistants, and be distin-
guished from the present class of
instructed midwives and
nurses who have no scientific knowl-
edge. Such a medical education, he
says, would open an honorable call
ing to thousands of women, while
doctors would have the sort of assist
ants of which they now stand in urgent
need.

A VERiTARLE PANACEA.
An Unnamed Medicine Which Has
Worked Marvellous Curses.

New YORK. November l9.-Dr.
Hubbard W. Mitchell has aroused the
interest of physicians by discussing
marvellous cures effected by a fluid
which has not been named. DR.. Mitch
ell says that about two years ago a
friend of his gave him fluid. which
he claimed was good almost for every
thing. and that some of the worst dis
eases to which mankind is subject
coull be cured in few days. He put
the bottle on the shelf. the usual place
for unknown and untried remedies.
but few days afterward 4 patient
visited him with a large carbuncle on
the back OF the neck. He treated the
carbuncle with the fluid. The man
returned the next morning, and DR..
Mitchell was surprised to find that the
inflammation had nearly gone. and
all the symptoms were improved. Two
days latera complete cure was affected.
Then Dr. Mitchell went to DR.. Tay-
lor. of the Vanderbuilt clinic, and
asked 10 be allowed to treat some ty-
pical cases of infectious diseases
which result in erIptions of Il distress
ing character. The patients were
from the lowest Strata of society,
users of tobacco III large quantities
and hard drinkers. He treated thirty.
One of the worst cases was cured in
about week. In a ease of hernia,
where the patient was at death 5 door,
he tried the fluid as Il last resource,
and the man recovered in surpris-
ingly short time. He tried twenty
cases of ulcerative tonsilitis, and was
successful. Bad cases of cancer also
yielded under this peculiar treatment.
He gave Il young man who had the
true bacilli of Tuberculosis drachm
doses four times Il day. In one week
the patient ceased splitting blood, and
in December the Doctor was una ablesto
find any trace of the disease.
He described other cases OF con-
sumption in which he was entirely
successful. He said the fluid was of
a yellow or straw color of l.022 or
1.O25 specific gravity. had strong
odor of chloride and the taste was not
unlike phosphate and of Hologen
salts. DR.. Mitchell could not give
the formula, but has promised to OBJ
tain it for the County Medical Asso-
citation.

Paste This In Your Hat.

Against slander there is no defense.
1t starts with word-with a shrug-
with q nod-and very often with a
smile. 1t is pestilence walking in
the darkness, spreading contagion far
and wide, which the most wary travel
er cannot avoid; it is the heart-search-
ing dagger of the assassin; it is the
poisoned arrow whose wounds are in
durable; it is the mortal sting of the
deadly adder: murder its employment,
innocence its pray, and ruin its sport,
says the Mystic Tie.
The man who at the midnight hour
fires the dwelling Of another does an
injury; he burns the roof, pillar, raim-
ent, the very shelter from the storm
and tempest; but he does an injury
that can be repaired. The storm may
indeed beat and chilling blasts assail,
but charity will receive the victim into
her dwelling, will give him food to
eat, and raiment to put on: will timely
assist him, raising new roof over
the ashes of the old, and he will again
sit at our fireside and taste the fruit
of friendship and home.
But the man who circulates false
reports concerning a brothers. char
acter, who exposes every act of his
life which may be presented to his
disadvantage: who goes to this, then
to that brother, tells them he is
very tender of his brothers reputa-
ton, enjoins upon them the strictest
secrecy, and then fills their ears with
hearsays and rumors, and, what is
worst, leaving to dwell upon the hints
and suggestions of his own busy i'm
agination. The man who thus "filch-
es from another his good name" does
him an injury which neither industry
nor charity nor time itself can repair.

REED ON GREENBACKS.
The Maine Man y lot in Favor of Their
speedy Retirement.

NEW YORY. Nov. Let is rumored
that the Treasury Department has
communicated with the New York
bankers with q view to making an
arrangement for the restoration of the
gold reserve. The proposition is that
when the reserve falls to $40. 900, 900 the
banks shall furnish SO, 900, 900 in gold,
for which they will receive 4 per cent
bonds on 3 per cent basis.
The idea is regarded with favor by
the banks, as they would rather sup
ply gold than experience another
financial disturbance.
Thomas B. Reed, who is slated for
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, has spent some time in New
York recently discussing currency
questions with bankers, He, it is
said, has intimated that he will op-
pose the proposed retirement of the
greenbacks by an issue of bonds. He
found that bankers, as a rule, objected
to the wiping out of the greenbacks if
there is to be no other form of money
to take their place. While the Treas
ury statement shows $346, 900, 900 of
gresnbacks outstanding, experts esti-
mate that the amount in country cir
circulation is less than $500, 900, 900.
