nhat 90 we SEQ around us? The whole
OF Europe is little better than a standing
camp numbering millions OF armed
men whilo double row Of frowning
ana opposing for;resses bristles along
every frontier. Our harbors are stuffed.

M the remotest east the passion for mil

IN TACT, thanks to the telegraph, the
globe itself has become "a mere bundIe
OF nerves, and the slightest disturbance
at any one point Of the system sends
por'entlous trcmor through its morbidly
sensitive surface. We are told by the
poets OF old that when Zeus nodded the
golden halls of his Olympus shook to
their foundations. Today it would suf-

unstable equilibrium which sustains tho
European political system would be up

OF greater horror than has been hitherto
known to the experience Of mankind,
might eventually envelop not Europe
alone, but two-nay, all the four-con-

them representatives and offshoots of
the contending nations would of neces-

1t is to prevent catastrophes Of this
KIND that we meek, civil spoken and

say that we are a poor and feeble folk,

ingenuity has been able to discover.
After all, very thin wire proves a per-

THIS TO PREVENT ssAslcKNEss.
A New York Doctor Prescribes Mixed Pep
tone, Sherry and Cracked Ice.


tone, Sherry and CRACKED Ice.
A New York physician has originated
novel preventive for seasickness, which
has the advantage of being simple and
seemingly sure. AT all events, it was
tried with marked success upon young
woman who is always affected by tho
comparatively slight motion of sound
steamers and railroad trains. In her
case, after two doses. she was able to
bear without Inconvenience tho rolling
beyond Sandy Hook and the subsequent
tossings of the voyage.
The remedy is the administration
every half hour of two spoonfuls of pep
tone in sherry, cooled by pouring over
cracked ice. The theory of this is no
less interesting than the dose itself. The
young doctor argues that the swallow
ing Of frequent small quantities of pre-.
digested and slightly stimulating food
produces u sedative effect upon the
stomach and counteracts the jouncing
brought about by the incessant and vio-
lent motion of a ship at sea.
Other doctors have quite lately in
vented q seasicl1ness cure consisting OF
cocaine or bromides, the latter in large
doses, these being given with the design
of dulling the stomach, as it were, and
so preventing nausea. But it cannot DO
learned that any actual results have
been attained in this way-New York

improvements For the
Benefit of Vessel
Men
On the Portage Lake River.


Supt. Mari OF the Portage Lake canals,
Is anxiously waiting the return of the
dredging contracts from Washington
with authorization to go to work. He
Is anxious to do necessary work in Por-
tage River before the stormy weather
commences, which will be about Six
weeks from now. The cutting off of sew
eral points and the deepening of one or
two places will greatly facilitate the en-
trance and as many more boats use our
waterways during the last two months
OF navigation than at any other time, he
Is the more anxious to get the work done
and be able to notify boat owners that
the entrance is improved Tor them.
Mr.. MARI is now engaged in taking
soundings and making a complete map
oil the channel out from the mouth of
Portage River where il il proposed to ex-
tend pier out to twenty feet OF water.
Such a pier would have to be 2,400 feet
long. Authorization for this work has
been given by congress, but the money is
not Forthcoming. Major Mari will be
ready with all data for the work when
called upon by the department. When
this pier is built the light house depart
ment will be asked to place light and a
steam fog whistle on the end OF it. The
entrance is particularly hard one to
make in foggy weather and there If
good deal OF such weather in the vicinity
and a fog whistle there would be greatly
appreciated by vessel men.

Care of Isli-tered Feet.

Blisters on the feet, which are neces-
sarily very painful, should be bathed
OH going to bed with strong salt water,
to which, if they are very tender, 1t is
an excellent thing to add just very lit
tie vinegar and fine pounded alum.
People who suffer very much i'll this
way will always do well to wear rather
thick soled boots, having them especial
ly made, as it is most important for any
one who has very tender feet that the
boots should be perfectly fitting. Into
these boots pair of lambs wool socks
should be placed, and these socks should
be thickly spread over with soft soap on
the inside of the foot Of the sock.
If the blisters come up very high, it
is wise to let out the accumulated fluid
by running darning needle through
the upper surface of the blister. If it is
allowed to break the surface of the skim
it is apt to become very sore, sometimes
being very difficult to heal. New York
Advertiser.

The Salisbury orchestra has Cancelled
its dates in the copper country. On ac-
count OF trouble at the Hotel Superior,
Marquette, between the hotel people and
the rank and file OF the orchestra on one
eide and the Manager, Mr.. Salisbury, and
the prima donna, Miss Wood, on the
other, the organization has gone to
pieces. The Mining Journal yesterday
devoted column to the affair and states
that the trouble grows out OF jealousy
between Miss Wood aud Miss Gaffney, OF
Negaunee, or rather OF the former for the
latter who had been engaged to sing
Sunday. Mr.. Salisbury and Miss Wood,
says the journal, would have left for
Chicago Sunday had not their baggage
been attached by members OF the orches-
ira for salary.

of the copper or nickel jacket on the
