A good story is being told ON one of
Louisville's most prominent homeo
pathic physicians, Several days ago a
young woman called at his office, and
after discoursing ON all the topics of i'll.
terest of the day settled down to tell
him her ailments. Among other things
she said that she was greatly annoyed
with sinking feeling. The physician
prepared little bottle Of pills and gave
them to her, with minute directions as
to how they should be taken. The wom-
an again began to talk, and after many
vain efforts to get her out she started
for the door, She had just opened it
when she turned and said, "Oh, doctor,
what shall l do if these pills do not cure
me?" Take the cork, he retorted.
"They tell me that's good for sinking
feeling. F" And he called the next patient
into his private Office. louisville Post.

SLOWING AWAY.
A FoOlhardy and Dangerous Method of
Getting an Ocean Voyage.


Getting an Ocean Voyage.
In spite of the fact that the punish
ment usually melted out to those who
try to steal free passage on ship is
several weeks hard labor, with the op-
ton of fine, stowaways are even more
common today than they were 80 OF 60
years ago.
Big passenger steamers, with their
hundreds of passengers and their scores
of stewards, sailors and stokers, afford
innumerable opportunities for slowing
away.
Three years ago stowaway was dis
covered aboard one Of the Allan liners
running between Liverpool and Mont
real He was shabbily dressed, but be-
ing big, sturdy looking fellow he was
put to work about the ship. When the
ship anchored below Montreal, waiting
for daylight before entering the harbor,
he, it is presumed, slipped quietly over
board and swan ashoare. In any case,
when the boat touched at Montreal and
was overrun by detectives looking for a
notorious jewel robber, it was i'm
mediately suspected that the stowaway
was the robber and that he had escaped,
taking the jewels with him. He was
captured some months afterward and
confessed that when he swan ashore he
had more than $40, 900 worth of jewels
on his person.
The favorite hiding places Of stow
Always are the coal bunkers and the mar
row passages left when the vessels are
loaded with bricks, tiles, iron pipes or
other similar cargo These places are
extremely dangerous, and many cases
are recorded where the shifting of the
cargo has resulted in the death of some
unfortunate wretch in hiding.
During the passage of a cargo boat to
this country from England the sailors
were startled the third day out by a
curious scratching, which was imme-
diately attributed to supernatural causes.
The scratching continued for three
days and then grew quiet and ceased.
When the matches were lifted at the end
of the voyage, the emaciated body of a
man was found lying ON some bags of
cement The poor starving fellow had
struggled frantically to get out Of the
hold.
AS for our American liners, it is fol-
~ to try slowing away in any of them.
The United States will not receive pau
per immigrants, and captains are for
hidden to land stowaways in this coun-
try under penalty of 81, 500. A free
passenger" on one of these ships is
promptly clapped in irons and kept
there until the ship returns to Liver
pool, when he is brought before the
authorities Cincinnati Enquirer

"My daughter was afflicted with
Eczema of the most aggravated
type. The disease first appeared in
eruptions on her head, then her hair
began to fall out, and in spite of
the best medical advice and treat
ment she grew steadily worse. The
sores were full of matter and were
extremely offensive. Her eyes be-
came affected, and she was, in truth,
in terrible state. My neighbors
were very sympathetic and took
great interest in the case. They
persuaded me to try Ayers Sarsa-
parilla, and l am most thankful to
be able to say that this wonderful
medicine completely restored my
daughters health. She has now as
good a head of hair as anyone could
wish, her eyes are perfectly well,
and she is a fine girl of eight years
with every prospect of growing up
to be a strong and healthy woman"

MONEY AND CAPITAL.

That was an admirably put truth which
Speaker Reed gave to his hearers AT Alfred
when he said: What we want Is not more
money, but more capital II Is truth which
people who engage in financial discussion are
likely to forget unless they are trained 10 care
full thinking on the subject. The distinction
between money and capital is not always ap-
parent to the voter who has little head for
finances but who is striving to bring a hazy
understanding to some conclusion on the much
discussed money question.
In the first place. let him learn once for all
that money is a medium Of exchange, and moth
ing else. so far as it enters into the present con
troversy The free silverite meets n poor man,
and tells him the reason he is poor is that there
is not enough money. The poor man c0nfuses
money with capital, thinks that is reasonable,
and imaglnes he can benefit himself by having
more money made. He does not realize that
the making Of more mOrey will not make him
richer by a cent. The only way he can grow
richer Is b. acquiring more property. and that
he can only do by giving his labor IN some form
for IT. II the printing Of greenbacks, or the
dcbasement Of coinage. or the issue Of dollars
Of Inferior value could increase the capital Of
the country. then nc might reap some benefit
from the operation. but as 1t is such imitation
only increases the amount OF the medium Of ex-
change. That could make nobody richer. even
If every new piece for exchange should be
worth one hundred cents, much less il 1t Is
worth only ffty-three cents. No sort Of hocus
pOcus can make something ont Of nothing The
Government may coin dollars by the Million
but no man Will find them OF any Use unless
he has something to give for those dollars They
will lie In the Treasury. rs many do now, be-
cause there is no way to get them out without
an equivalent being put In. Free coinage would
give silver miners Ion Of dollars, but the poor
man would not get them for the asking. He
would have to work for them ms he does now.
The measure of his wealth then will be bis

MACEDONIA.

II Is now just about year since the present
troubles in Macedonia began. and AT last their
gravity Is admitted by the Powers. At first 1t
will be remembered. they were shifted at. The
insurrcction was purely artificial 1t was said
One asserted that VI. Stambuloff had started
1t to bolster up his own waning fortunes in
Bulgaria Another as confidently declared
that Russia was ut the bottom Of It, seeking to
compass VI. Stambuloff's ruin a third was
,ocksure that "perfdous Albion" was doing 1t
MI; while fourth was equally ready TO demon
strate It's purely local character Upon one
point all were agreed, however. that 1t would
amount 10 nothing There was no real cause
for 1t. There was no heart in II. So As
It had served the purpose Of It's promoters it
would disappear. Or. If worst came to worst,
the Powers would snuff 1t out as easily as a
farthing rushlight. That was the belief. or the
boast, OF all. But In simple truth. both as TO ts
origin and as to Its potency, they were all as
wrong as wrong could be.
The troubles In Macedonia. Ike those In Ar
mena and elsewhere In the Turkish Empire
are n legacy OF the Berlin Treaty OF 1878. Tn
der that instrument certain administrative re-
forms were guaranteed They have not been
executed Hence the popular discomfort. and
hence the sympathy Of Maccdonlans and their
kinsmen In foreign parts. which have led to
revolt ut home and to the forming and active
working Of Macedonian Committees at
Athens. Sofia. Belgrade and elsewhere. The
case is complicated by the fact that Macedonia
Is veritaby, as 1t has often been called. "the
lumber-room Of Europe" 1t Is like the tabled
land Of Lyonnesse "wherc fragments of for
gotten peoples dwelt." It's population IL a
mixture OF Greeks, Bulgnrs Serbs, Albanlnns.
ETC.. and OF course each one Of those nations

the Great Powers eye each other askance' IN"
each is determined to get at least as DIG
portion Of the spoil rs any other IL is 'nis
multiplicity Of interest and intrigue, making
any serious crisis in Macedonia Involve NAH
Europe. that has led the Powers to try TO
minimize the Importance Of the outbreak. Ma
tons like men often ut least pretend 10 De-
lieve what they wish to be true.
As for the wrongs suffered BY the Macedoni-
ans. they have long been great. Turkish OPP
preston there reaches Its cOnsummate Hover
Nowhere are taxes heavier, and nowhere are
tax-gatherers more rapac!ous The tax-gather-
er IL always a Turk, and he always collects
the taxes from the Christians first. Upon his
success in extorting tribute from them depends
the amount he will afterward collect from ms
fellow-Turks. II he gets enough from the
Christians to meet the Governments demands
and to satisfy his own greed, the Turks may
go altogether free. Generally he begins by de-
handing double the legal rate. If 1t be paid.
he may go on and leave his victim In peace.
II It be refused, he will probably do one or two
things He will compel payment by force. with
or without guise Of law, or he Will hbate ms
demand somewhat, perhaps to not more than
80 per cent advance upon the legal rate In
the latter case however. he Is pretty sure TO
demand for time the wife or daughter Of the
taxpayer as his personal perquiste and he
generally finds means to enforce this infamous
requirement.. In fact, about the only way Tor
the Macedonian Christian to resist 1t Is TO put
n bullet or a knife through the tax-gatherer's
ribs But in that case he himself becomes an
outlaw, and must take to the mountains, leav-
Ing his family to their fate, perhaps worse
one than that which threatened them in the
first place
1t Is literally true that such has been the
origin Of a large proportion OF the brigandage
for which Macedonia Is Notorious There are,
of course, many Turkish brigands, who are
generally in alliance with the Government Off
Gals and who are little If any, worse plum
derers than the latter. But the average Chris
tan "haiduk' or brlgand Is man who killed
some Turkish officer in defence of the honor OF
his family. and therefore had to become an out
law There are hundreds. perhaps thousands
of these. and they form the nucleus Of the in
surgent bands which are now waging more or
less open warfare against the Turks. There
can be no more implacabe belligerents than
men thus driven to revolt. SO the lumber
room Of Europe" really appears to be ablaZe
mt last with n fire that will not be quencled
until it has destroyed old abuses and all the
nameesS iniquities Of Turkish misrule. How
many other rooms Of the international bar
racks will be involved in the conhagratiOn re-
mains to be seen.
