ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
General Harrison Advocates Town Meet
ings Once or Twice n Year.

Ex-President Harrison, in series of
articles ON "This Country Of Ours. in
The Ladies' Home Journal. writes Wig
orously of the great necessity of the peo-
pie insisting upon the strict enforcement
Of the laws. Directly upon this point he
says. 1--WE need general assemblies of
the people in tho smaller civil subdivi-
sions, TO be held regularly once or twice
year, town meetings in which two
questions only shall be considered:
First, are the public officers faithfully
and honestly transacting the public bust
nessY Second, are the laws-not this law
nor that, but all laws-enforced and
obeyed2 All questions of law reform
should be excluded, left to parties or So
cieties organized to promote them. The
enforcement of the law, whether we OPP
posed or aided the making of it; the
strict accountability of public officers,
whether we opposed or aided their elec-
tion, should be the objects and the linn
its of these meetings. There should be
no distinction of persons.
"Our law and order movements are
too apt to be confined to what we, not
too accurately, call influential people.
Every man and woman ought to have a
chance to choose his side, without re-
gard to station or wealth or race or col
or. There will be none too many. In
some such movements 1t has seemed to
me that many have been assigned to the
wrong side who would have chosen the
right. There is danger that such may
accept the place they would not have
chosen. Can any working plan be de-
vised to maintain from day to day an
effective watchful interest among the
body of our citizens in the enforcement
of the laws, and In clean, honest ad-
ministration Of public affairs-small
and great2 Or are we to accept tho hu-
initiating conclusion that bad things
cannot be made good, or even better,
until they come to be persistently and
utterly bad; or still worse, that when
the river of popular indignation has
cleaned the stable 1t is only to leave us
without supply Of water for daily sani-
tation?''

CARLYLE Corrected,

At Royal academy dinner in London
some years ago several artists were ex-
pressing their enthusiasm about Titan.
Carlyle and Thaokeray. it appears, were
among the guests. Mrs. Annie @. Will
son tells the story Of what followed;
''His glorious coloring is fact about
Titian," said one man, striking the ta-
BILE to give emphasis to the remark.
"And his glorious drawing is another
fact about Titan" !" cried another artist.
And so they went on until Carlyle,
who had been listening in silence to
their rbapsodies, interrupted them by
saying, with slow delperation which
had its own impressive emphasis;
"And here I sit, man made in the
image of God, who knows nothing about
Titan and cares nothing about Titan,
and that's another fact about Titan"
Thackeray was slipping claret at the
moment. He paused and bowed courte-
ously to Carlyle. Pardon me-" he
said; that appears to me to be not .
fact about Titan, but fact, and LAM
eptable one. about Carlyle"

zeal of his men. But at that moment
an incident took place that lightened
the work of appropriation and served at
the same time as proof that the old
faith had not grown weak. The widow
Glazikha stepped forth to support It.
Fire Fire ~ shouted some one. Fire
Firei" exclaimed the whole crowd.
The ispravnik, the engineers and the
troops looked around. A column Of
fame shot up from the chimney of
Glazikha's tightly closed house, long
fiery tongues appeared through the crew
ices of the wooden beams, licking the
cottage tbatch, dried and inflammable
from the July sun.
Glazikha rushed into her dwelling,
barred the windows and doors from in
side, then like mad woman rushed
into the kitchen, hauled out of it her
whole stock of dried kindlings, Lit IL
herself from her everburning sacred
lamp, and seeing that the flame had
caugat she prostrated herself in prayer,
falling on her knees before the holy
icons and died in fanatical worship.

Of Oreshkov, standing at the corner,
caught, and soon the whole row of
houses on the sides had become one
glowing mass The soldiers, policemen
and employees, leaving the inhabitants
Of the suburb to fate, rushed to protect
the police station, the stores of grain
and other goods.
When the first sound of alarm brought
tho fire engines laundering from the
town, there was nothing to save or take
away. The fire in the suburb had died
ont. Finding no more food, the street
was burned up, and the houses were
leveled with the ground. The expropria-
tion was finished.

Tho Treatment of Warts.

When one has to deal with isolated
warts, they must be taken off with
scoop. A rather abundant hemorrhage
follows, which may be arrested by COM
preston or by cauterization. When
warts exist in large numbers, this pro-
cedure is no longer applicable. partiou-
larly on account Of the numerous cioa-
trices that follow its employment. In
these cases the better way is to shrivel
the exorescences with nitric acid. The
tincture Of thuja is also very efficacious
topical application.
In cases Of condyloma the small tu-
mors may be busted with powdered re-
sorcin or salicylic acid. They may also
be covered with q plaster containing
these substances in the proportion Of
from 10 to 30 per cent When the face
is studded with large number Of these
little warts. which often appear sudden
ly, DR.. Kaposi covers them with piece
Of flannel with layer Of black soap.
This is left ON the warts for "a hours
and adheres to the skin, gradually be-
coming detached with the warts.
Another very good application Is the
following mixture: Flour Of sulphur,
20 parts; glycerin, 90 parts; pure con-
oentrated acetio acid, 10 parts. The
warts are painted with this mixture for
several days without taking of the first
layer. and gradually the excrescences
dry up and become detached.
For keratosis Of the palms Of the
hands and the soles Of the feet plasters
Of resorcin and salioylio acid are also
efflcacious. II the case Is one Of mollus.
oumlike n@vus, It Is better to employ
electrolysis. The needle connected with
the positive pole is plunged into the tn
NOR, and current is passed Of from one
to two milliamperes for about 80 sec
onds. This operation is repeated at the
end of and l5 days. When the n@vus
is very large. the galvano cautery Is
preferable. e.-Cinoinnat Enquirer.

The Ticking of the Clock.

"The ticking Of clock, )" says Mr..
Bugleby, "is a sound so familiar that
we take no thought of it till it ceases.
Here are two or three of us sitting to-
gether talking. Suddenly we become
dimly conscious that there is something
missing; q moment later some one says,
THE olock has stopped. Then we all
listen. What roomful Of silence Then
we wind the clock and set it going. How
pleasant 1t is to hear 1t again, and how
loud and plain it sounds at first, but
soon it sinks to its accustomed note, and
with normal conditions thus restored we
resume our conversation. New York

who knows him we'll: "In appearance
Lombroso is not distinguished. He is
short and rather stout; few silvery
threads shine in his dark hair; his mus
tache is gray, his imperial entirely
white. His conversation is simple and
pleasing and rendered exceedingly inter-
esting by his powerful memory and vast
learning. Owing to his long residence
in Turin, he uses many Piedmontese
words and phrases.

Venomous snakes are slow in doing
mischief. The cobra di capello, the toy
Of Indian jugglers, retains its fangs, but
never uses them except to resent in
juries, and then, opening its crest and
kissing violently, it darts ON its victim,
who has notice to escape.
1t is only by labor that thought can be
made healthy. aud only by thought that
labor can be made happy, and the two
cannot be separated with impunity.-

there are sixteen times as many grains

both coins weigh more than this, for
one-tenth of the weight of each consists

4l23 grains, of which 41.25 grains is
