The Best Remedy for rheumatism

From the Fairhayen On. y Register.
states that for twenty-five years his wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism. A
few nights ago she was in such pain that
she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.. Row
land for the doctor, but he had read of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead o.
going for the physician he went to tie
store and secured a bottle, of it. His wife
did not approve Of Mr. Rowland's pur-
chase at first, but nevertheless applied the
Balm thoroughly and in an hours time
was able to 60 to Sleep. She now applies
1t whenever she feels an ache or a pain
and finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine that she had used
ever did her as much good. The % and

the belief that among the subjects dis

Universities and Politics,
l i'm The independent.

SoflWln Sn1th IN Inc independent.
The universities of the United States are
unquestionably doing the commonwealth ex-
cellent service, not only in the way of in
tellectual culture and the advancement of
learning and science. but politically, by the
propagation CT sound principles and of
scientific habit of mind. But the condition
of their political usefulness is their politi-
cal neutrality. The principles by which
public questions are to be decided IT is their
high duty to impart. But If they desire to
retain their authority they must keep out
of the party fray.
meaning king, and sincere friend Of
learning. He conferred on the Universities
of oxford and Cambridge what he believed
to be the boon of representation in the
house of commons. The consequence was
that the universities were drawn into the
struggle of factions, degraded by its vio-
lence, identified with political reaction and
estranged from the sympathies of the ma
ton.
/ should be sorry to think that anything
which 1 have now said could be construed
as a defense of the habtual interference Of
trustees with the teaching or discipline OF
a university. In England the two great
and their colleges their
own trustees; but the trustees of other col
leges or of schools interpose only in cases
of extreme necessity; and this seems to
me clearly the right principle. But 1t does
not appear that the trustees of Brown are
charged with habitual interference. They
have interposed only on a special occasion,
when it appeared to them that the vital in
terests of the university were at stake.

From the Brooklyn Eagle,

When big gray horse drawing the ten
DER OF one of our fire engines fell against n
lamp post-cne of the disused and rusty
things that ornament our thoroughtaras-
he broke his back. Instead of shooting the
poor creature at once, fireman relieved
him OF his harness and sat on the pavement
Tor an hour and a half holding his head on
his knees and stroking and talking to him.
1t was an exhibition of affection and sentt-
ment that is not often seen in a CITY, where
horses are treated like the beasts of burden
mat they commonly are-beings who can
DO so much work and are forced to do it. 1t
was an exhibition that honored the fireman
and all who showed their sympathy with
his grief for the coming loss of his friend.
II such bond of good feeling existed be-
tween our own and the supposedly inferior
races We should live in safer and better
regulated world. Many of the brutes are
at least as worthy of our affection as GER
tain of our kind. They do not make them
selves vexatious to the community by
drunkenness, savagery, hoodlumism, theft
or murder, and We cannot truthfully say
the same of all men. In many ways men
do not live up to the moral possibilities of
the dog-that is, some men. The recogni-
ton of worth in our dumb friends is late,
but desirable.

In an opinion sent to the Chicago city
council, Corporation Counsel Thornton
holds that the street car companies Of that
city have not the right to carry United
States mails over their lines. The question
was raised because of the danger OF a gen.
eral strike among the employees Of the Chi
cago City Railway Company. Mr.. Thorn
ton says:
II fail to find anywhere any revocation OF
the requirement that the street car COM
panies shall carry only passengers. The
passengers IL in full force, and II 10 my
opinion, therefore. that the street railway
companies at present are carrying United
States mail and running cars for the ac-
OF the malls over their sew
eral routes not only without any authority
whatever. but In direct opposition to the
provisions Of the original grant to the rail.
