OF the message Is confined to resume
Of the various department reports. The
country win generally endorse and APP
plaud the strong ground the President
takes in favor of a thorough system of
modern coast defences. In attempting
defence of the indefencible Wilson
law he labors sadly. and appears to
very poor advantage.
Other parts of the message we shall
take occasion, as space affords. to con-
slider at greater length and detail.
The message contains considerable
timely and valuable information: makes
some good suggestions. and a number
of poor ones: but on the whole, will
hardly take rank as a specially able
or important State paper.

The New York Mail and Express is
authority for the statement that ex-
periments undertaken by Prof. Pfeip-
per and DR.. Kolle. two of Berlin $
most successful psychologists, have
produced a serum which they believe
will be as effective in the treatment of
typhoid fever as antitoxin has been in
the cure of diphtheria. This new dis
covery, which has the same therapeu-
tic basis as the serum for diphtheria.
has already been tried in hospital use
in Berlin, and found effective; and if
it is all that is claimed for it. medical
science is destined to achieve as great
a triumph in conquering typhoid fever
as it won in the antitoxin treatment
for diphtheria cases. The discoveries
of this new and remarkable serum will
describe it and their experiments in an
official report soon to be issued, and
the account of their work will be a
matter of tremendous importance to
the medical profession throughout the
world. If cure has been found for
typhoid as effective as the serum
treatment has proved for diphtheria.
it's discoveries have placed mankind
under an obligation which no earthly
honor can sufficiently repay.

A we'll known Portland man, who is
the owner of a fine young horse, has
pet hobby and that is. telling a
horses age with the aid of a long hair
glass of water. His idea is to take
the ring. place it in the centre Of the
hair. and holding both ends. put the
ring in glass. He claims that the
ring, thus suspended. will strike
against the glass. giving the correct
age of the horse. To prove his asser-
ton he invited veterinary surgeon
and several friends one day the past
week to see the trick done. The doc
tor was to examine the horse. and tell
if the test was correct. The young
man pulled a long hair from the ami
mails tail. put it through a ring and
gave it to friend to hold in the glass
of water At first it did not seem to
work and there was a look of anxiety
on the young mans face. but in a few
seconds there was a click and the ring
began to strike against the glass SO
fast that it was hard to keep count.
The man who was holding the hair as
serted that the ring tapped 80 times.
the correct age of the horse. but the
doctor claimed there must be some
mistake, either in the test or the horse.
for the animal had every appearance
of being only a few years old. and a
good horse at that. 1t is understood
that the owner has given up his pet
hobby and the mention of it by any of
his friends is enough to drive him

ant parts of her physical make up, she will
soon be healthy, amiable helpmate, in
stead of a burden to the partner of her joys
and sorrows. No women who suffers from
weakness and disease of the distinctly wo-
manly organism can be good helpful WIFI
to an ambitious man. 1t is easy to keep
these organs healthy and vigorous.
The most wonderful medicine for women
is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
acts directly on the organs that make her a
woman. 1t cures all weakness and disease
1t allays Inflammation, soothes pain, and
permits the tortured nerves to resume their
natural condition. 1t stops all weakening
drains and the woman who has hitherto
been nervous, weak and fretful becomes
robust, helpful and happy. Thousands of
happy women, who were once pain tortured
and miserable, testify to its virtues. All
good druggists sell it.

The Presidents Message.

We place before our readers this
morning President Cleveland's mes
sage to Congress. AS State paper it
will scarcely take rank with his mes
sage of December 9, 1895, which is con-
ceded to have been, by all odds. his
ablest contribution to the official lit
erature of the country.
Like most of Mr.. Cleveland's official
utterances, the message is a volum-
nous one, and its chief value will be
found in it's epitomizing of the various
departmental reports. Little that is
now is offered in the way of recon-
mendation. though considerable
re-threshed.
Naturally the greatest popular inter-
est attached to what the President
might have to say upon the Cuban
situation. His position. or more prop
erly. his lack of position. upon this
question will be a distinct disappoint-
ment to the American people. He
deals with it in spirit of extreme
conservatism, and with an evident
purpose to shift it's responsibilities and
perpleXities upon his successor. There
is painful lack of spirit and breadth of
view in his treatment of the whole
SUBJECT There is. indeed, a distinctive
tone of unfriendliness and disparage-
ment of the insurgent forces where he
refers to them as a foe that flights
only from ambuscade, and when ali
the advantages of position and m,m-
oers are on its side" This is an nm
called for aspersion upon a brave and
patriotic people. 1t is true thar tho
