Here is the statement of one of the
Volksblatt's own countrymen. How much
better off, then, is the German than the
American public in the matter of news
papers? To begin with. German daily
periodicals circulate about one-half as
widely in proportion to the population
as d" American newspapers. And no
wonder. Why should the everyday citi
zen subscribe for a publicity which only
records news about those above lin in
station, and only gives uttcrance to edit
orials that tend to sustain the established
caste of the country? Those who buy
tile official newspapers of Germany
can afford Tie price charged ana naturally

How is it in America? There is no mat

are there, at least, and tie eSsentialities
are always carefully stated, however much

The real difference is this, that the class
which buys the official new spapcrs in Ger
many buys the splendid cheap magazines
in America. In these the taste lor excel

no newspapers at all in Germany buys ana

in this broad land is afraid Of the hand
OF monarchicaI government. Even the
great trusts, which Europe says we have
substituted for imperialism, find nearly
every editorial column against them.
Beyond all these considerations it may
bc truthfully stated that American news
papers are fun Of matter of the first lit

that our European nciahbors find this class
of reading side by side with articles
which they deem of interest only to the

Is Hydrophobia Real or Imaginary?

Not very long ago d discussion arose as
10 the reality Of hydrophobia Eminent
physicians, both in this country and in
Europe, put themselves on record as dis
believers in any such disease. They con
tended that the condition designated by
that term was nothing more nor less than
a highly excited state of the nervous syS-
tenn, superinduccd by fear or other emotions
and degeneraunG finally To such extremes
as TO cause death on the other hand, IL
was pointed out that while this appIehen-
the case OF adults familiar with instances
where hydrophobia, or what is 50 called,
resulted from the bite Of a rabiG dog, such
conditions would not prevail with children
who would naturally be uninfluenced in
such a manner because happily ignorant Of
the facts. or alleged facts. At the close Of
the controversy. of course, the parties on
both sides remained convinced that their
respective opinion was the correct one.
The recent occurrence in Baltimore VIII
naturally tend to put the subject again
into the foreground Eight boys were bit
ten 10y a rabid dog. The animal was killed
and the children sent to the pasteur In
stitute in New York for treatment In due
course OF time they were returned "a :heir
parents with the assurance from Professor
ment had been entirely successful and that
there was no further danger of any eff
fects from the virus OF the dog Two Of
these boy have already Succumbed to what
eminent Baltimore practitioners declare
TO be Enthusiastically hydrophobia, and a
third one is exhibiting symptoms which
Justify the apprehension that he also is
likely to fall a victim. 1t is not to be
supposed that any of the little fellows,
either before or after their treatment in
the Pasteur Institute, brGoded over the
possibility of hydrophobia, and So the ex
cited condition ofthe nervous system, which
the anti-hydrophobia disputants claim to
be the cause of the symptoms and eventual
! death, could Eot have existed ir their case.
The conclusion would seem to be war
ranted, therefore, that hydrophobia is con
siderable of a reality and still is a fruitful
object of scientific research. The ques-
tion also presents itself whether or not the
Pasteur treatment offers an effective pre-
ventive against the operation of the rabid
| dogs virus after it has once been absorbed
by the system. 1t is a subject of tre-
| TnendouS importance.

Says OF the Adams statue in

New York, Dec. 26.-Augustus st. Gau-
an interesting place at all times, holds Just
at present an unusually attractive piece
Of work, upon which the skill and con-
centration OF thought OF the famous sculp-
tor has been expended for the past six
years. This is the equestrian statue OF
Gen. John y. Logan, To which the last
finishing touches are being given prepara-
tory TO giving it over for the final cast
ing in bronze.
While, with an artist, il is, as Mr.. ST
Gaudens Iaughingly remarks, always the
next piece OF work that is 10 be the best, -
it is safe to assert that in his long line OF

of work to which he can point with more
justifiable pride and satisfaction than to

dangerous at one time as another; it has unlimited possibilities of future peril, while the danger of the air re- oeiver always is retrogresslve. It should also be remembered that air does not have the reserve force carried in hot water. The result of a receiver explosion is limited to the volume of air under pressure; there is nothing behind the air to follow it up and add to the work of destruction" The volume of steam in a boiler is only a part of the destructive agency that may be released; the steam chained in the water pushes on that which goes before and augments the disaster,
 This appears to be a reasonable view to take of the new motor, Even if it should come into general use it might not slay more than electricity did while it was being broken in.

---------------------- PENSIONERS INTERESTED

Those who fought to save the Union and are now receiving pensions for their glorious service will be interested in the experience of United States pensioner with silver in a. Central American silver country. About five years ago this pensioner, to whom had been awarded $4,00O in arrears. went to Central America, hoping that in the warm and favorable climate he might regain his health The $4,000 had been paid to him in legal tenders which were and still are the equivalent of gold This money he deposited with bank ing company in Central America, and for four years he drew interest upon it. But the country in which the deposit had been made adopted the silver standard, and during those four years the value of the national currency was declining. At the end of that period the silver dollar was worth only half as much as a gold dollar. The value of his claim upon the bank-he had taken certificate of deposit in the na- tional currency at a time when there was only a small premium upon gold had been reduced one-half, and the bank ceased to pay interest. He decid- ed that he would let the money remain in the bank for another year, hoping for a better return, but at the end of the year he took it out and exchanged it for gold The $4,00o had been re. duced to $1,731. That is to say, the s4.- 900 which the bank paid to him in the national currency on the silver basis was worth only $1,731 in gold or in the United States legal tenders which our government had paid to him five years earlier.
 Is free silver good for pensioners? Do they want the value of their pen- sions cut in two?

NOT FIERY DANGERous.


 It is perhaps not surprising to find those most deeply interested in elec4 tricity as a motive power predicting the failure of the compressed air mo- tors which are now being tried in New York The claim is made that electric ity. which was once thought so danger ous, is much safer than air at a pres sure of two thousand pounds per square inch, which is the pressure used in the air motors. As now used, electricity appears to be safe enough, and there is good authority for saying that com pressed air is not likely to be as dan gerous as some say. The American Machinist, which ought to know, has no doubt as to the safety of the air re- ceiver. No one condemns the steam boiler as especially dangerous, not withstanding frequent explosions more or less destructive to life and property Under any conditions that are likely
 
 carrying 100 pounds of steam is vastly more dangerous than an air receiver charged to 1000 pounds The breaking of pipe cannot do any harm as in the case of steam. Air is not like scalding steam or hot water. The only possible source of peril is in the receiver, which  can be built With a liberal margin of safety. and, therefore, it will be as safe as boiler of ordinary construction. If a receiver should burst it would be just after the charging. not after the start ing of the car, as the pressure goes down steadily while the motor is run ming. On the contrary, boiler is as

 Lovely coaching parasols have white ground with chintz figures. Others are besprinkled with dresden rose buds. Dresden ball handles finish the latter.

It is wise to buy wash gloves for summer in a good quality and shape. They are less ex- pensive than the regular kid and they stay clean as long as any other light glove. After that they say you can wash them. So you can, but who ever heard of any one who could wear them afterwards? However, why should you want to? You will have had good wear in the first place and at small cost. Rumor has it that a faddish fam sy is growing for wearing eye glasses.

4 1ARGr IND CHEERING STRAY.

4 LARGE IND CHEERING STRI ".
 The stand for sound money taken by the Germans of this country is one of the most encouraging features of the situation. There are 100000 German voters in this country. German votes are numerous in some of the States where the silver craze is violent, and most of them will be cast against the craze. What the Germans think and will do is indicated by the attitude of their newspapers, the returns from which are now all in. There are 1,087 papers in the United States printed in the German language. Of this number there are only forty-seven not advocat- ing maintenance of the existing gold standard, no matter what their party affiliations.
 For all practical purposes this can be called unanimous. 1t is a very large and cheering straw. The Germans are good citizens and they mean to vote right.

Plain but Difficult to Make.


 But few princess costumes are seenin midsummer, but as that fact tends to make the ones worn all the more dis tinct, the occasional example seen is sure to attract full share of attention and comment. The one the artist pre- sents here was made in almost tailor severity from light weight woolen stuff of @ grayish blue shade. Just be- low the waist at the back it ran out in deep godets, the seam being concealed by a short jaunty basque that termina- ted at the side seams. It fastened in front at the side beneath a row of small buttons that commenced at the shoul- der and ran to half the length of the skirt.
