4 NiTUR4L SEOEENCE.

The following true story is related
by one of the participants i'll the re
markable incident:
Not long since in a certain New
England city, four commercial travel
ers met for the first time ut the table
With that genial bon homme peculiar
to the craft, they were soon engaged
in conversation. In a few moments
one of them said:
"Gentlemen, suppose we begin. be
ing ;tll strangers, with the gentleman
opposite me, to introduce ourselves
and our firms business.
This was unanimously agreed to.
Said No. /: Il am--, and | re-
present the house of y. Y. H., selling
glass bottles"
Said No. .: "Well, gentlemen, per
haps it is not chance that l come
next, for [ represent j. d. o.; am
and | sell the stuff that goes into
the bottles / sell wines and liquors"
There was IL moments silence as
No. , said: THAT, gentleman, does
seem little strange, but perhaps
there is fatality about this. | am
- of the firm Of w. L. s., dealers
in undertakers' goods
No. now remained silent and sug
gested that it would be we'll not to
pursue the subject further and that it
had been well never to have started it.
After much urging to complete the
chain he said: Gentlemen, it is in
deed fatality. | am - of ID. Il.
b., and | am taking orders for grave
stones.n Was there ever a temper

lines as this?

BACTERIA AND NERVOUS DIS
EASES.

Another very large proportion of
cases of nervous disease is due directly
or indirectly to the action of different
forms of bacteria, or disease germs.
Nearly all the forms of mening. It's, or
brain fever, are due to tue direct action
of different forms OF bacteria upon the
membranes that cover the brain.
Other forms of nervous disease are
now thought to be of infectious ma
ture, due to some specific organism.
Others still are due to the action of
poisons produced by the germs of other
diseases. There is, for examples form
of paralysis which not infrequently
follows diphtheria, which is due, not
to amy weakness of the nervous sys-
TEN, but to the action of the diphtheri-
tic poison upon the pc ripheral nerves.
Similar forms of paralysis may follow
smallpox, typhoid fever, pneumonia
or influenza Many of the diseases of
the spinal cord are of a similar origin.
Locomotor ataXia and general paresis,
two common and fatal diseases, are in
most cases the result of one of these
infectious diseases.

SUICIDE OF1 SPIRROW.

at was simple incident in its way,
but very interesting,h remarked Il
well-known physician, and attracted
the. attention of hundreds Of people
during the day. What l refer to was
the suicide or accidental hanging of Il
sparrow on Saturday last, in a bunch
of string that still hangs from the cor
nice of a house on Third street north
west, Just above b street. My atten
ton was attracted by the unusual
amount of chattering of a number OF
sparrows who seemed to be much eX-
cited by the occurrence. The birds
held kind of council on the matter,
and then divided themselves into re-
lief parties and went to work in great
earnest in their unsuccessful efforts to
chew off the strands OF the string that
held the unfortunate bird tightly
around the neck. At times during the
day there were as many as fifty per
sons gathered watching the efforts of
the birds. All kinds of sympathy was
expressed, but no relief could be ex-
tended. Shortly after noon it was ap-
parent that the sparrow was dead,
but still the efforts of the birds were
kept up until nearly sundown."

1t is related that one day Benjamin
Franklin, who, as Il boy, was very
fond of using big words, told his father
that he had swallowed some acephal-
GUS molluscus, which so alarmed the
parent that he shrieked for help.
The mother came in with warm
water, and forced a half gallon down
Beniamin's throat with the garden
pump, then held him upside down,
the father saying, "lf we don't get
those out of Benjamin, he'll get poison
ed sure"
When Benjamin was allowed to GET
his breath he explained that the article
referred to were oysters. His farther
was so indignant that he whipped him
for an hour for frightening the family

cLEvELAND,s LABOR WAR.


CLEVELAND, Aug. 4-The strike situa-
ton in this city is critical, One hundred
and fifty n%on-union men went to work at
the Brown Hosting works yesterday.
They We're guarded by four companies Of
militia and "A large force of police. A big
crowd Of union men were present, but no
outbreak occurred. The police and SOL
diers kept the strikers moving, and would
not permit them TO stand in one place
more than IA few minutes. Another com-
pany of militia was sent to the works later
in the day.
The sympathetic strike movement
which has been threatened ever since the
strike mt the Brown works began was
started yesterday. The men employed by
the Van Wagner & Williams company,
hardware manufacturers, laid down their
tools, They said they had no grievance,
and quit work out of sympathy for the
Brown Hosting company's men, and pre-
dicted that employees of other concerns
would soon follow their lead. Committees
were sent out to other factories along the
lake shore TO notify the men that they
were 20 strike. The committee met with
little encouragement, however, and the
Van Wagner strikers returned to work
this morning.
A crowd of union men gathered at the
corner of Hamilton and Belden streets and
were ordered TO dispense and refused to do
so, A squad Of police charged on the
crowd and took into custody several men.
They were taken TO the Second precinct
station and charged with violating the
sidewalk ordinance. A big crowd fol
lowed the patrol wagon through the
streets, and more arrests were threatened,
but none were made,
A meeting of the Brown strikers was
held yesterday afternoon, at which Master
Workman James O'Connell made n speech
in which ne declared that the agreement
between the Brown company and the
strikers had been misunderstood that it
was interpreted one way 10y the company
and a different way by the men. He isre-
ported 80 have said that the battle now on
would be watched with interest by the
labor world. ''The mayor, police and tin
soldiers" he declared, have armed to
crush us. We have a duty to perform
that of self preservation"
The authorities are fully prepared for
trouble, and squads of militia were sta
toned in various parts of the city last
evening to prevent trouble when the non
union men were taken to their homes.

we use ~Thompson's Diphthcria Cure. We
did so and in less than twcnty-four hours the
coating was all removed from their threats
and the boys were up and about. The third

THE GOLD

The fact can not he too often repeated that
the declaration Of the Republicans yesterday
in favor Of the gold standard simply means the
maintenance of thing that already exists.
II is the fee silver people who propose to
make a change and establish a new standard.
They are against the present currency system
and anxious to substitute for it one under
which % different kind of money would be
used for the payment of debts and wages and
the transaction of the %couutry'5 business.
The Republicans believe in keeping things
as they are in that respect. That is to say,
they hold that we now have sound and salts
factory money, and that it would be foolish
and disastrous to throw away this advantage.
1t is not proposed to eliminate silver from the
currency and prevent its use for commercial
purposes, but Only to so limit the amount Of
it that it can circulate freely at par with
gold.
Any intelligent voter can readily compre-
nd the distinction and the reason for max
ing it. We have absorbed as much silver as
we can carry with safety, and the Rcpubli-
cans are opposed to an increase Of it That
would inevitably unsettlo values, dcprcciatc
the currency, and force Us to an inferior
standard.
1t is not true, as the free silver orators
practically assert, that the Republican
party is seeking to make gold the only
form of money in the country. On the con-
tmry, it merely insists that other forms Of
money shall be kept as good as gold. There
should be NO objection to that from any man
who has the prosperity and welfare of the
country at heart.
There can not be two standards Of value at
the same time, and the Republicans contend
that the one which now exists, and which is
known 10 he safe, should not be exchanged
cr one that would be unsafe and in every
way mischicyous. Tho silver element now
in the currency is freely accepted because il
Is ON Il parity with gold, and the Republican.
wish to c]ontiuue it in service ON that lasi,
but they are against the free and unlimited
coinage of it because that would destroy the
parity aud flood the country with a dcpro,
ciated circulation.
1t is not q question Of dispensing with the
use of silver, but of adapting the volume OF
it to the conditions which govern its value.
The limit of safety in the coinage Of such
money has been reached, and the Republican
party says that We should have no more of ii
when the result would certainly be a stipend.
GUS misfortune.
That is what is meant, and all that il
meant, by the maintenance Of the golC
standard as adopted at Yesterday conyen
ton.
