Telegraph rates vary greatly in this
country, owing to the immense distances
In many of the smaller countries of the
old world uniform rate is made for any
point within the given country, but it
would be manifestly unfair to the Ameri-
can telegraph companies if they were COM
PEELED to send a message from New York
to San Francisco for the same rate that
they charge for a message from New York
to Jersey City or from Chicago to Evan
ston.
AS a rule, the minimum rate for a day
message of ten words in this country is
% cents. great many points in Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and other states in the Missis-
sippi valley may be reached from Chicago
for this rate. Any point in Illinois may be
reached for 80 cents. A message to Boston
costs so cents. while New York. Philadel-
phia and Baltimore have a 40-cent rate.
The highest rates from Chicago are those
for rcints in southern Florida-S5 cents.
1t costs only 70 cents to telegraph to Cali
fornia or Oregon, and the rate for New
Orleans Is 80 cents.
Few persons who have not experimental
with telegraph tolls appreciate the ex-
pense of cable communication. Gable rates
sage of ten words and the figures are very
much higher. Messages to England
France and Germany cost 81 cents per
word from Chicago. Belgiums rate is 36

tria. 40 cents: Greece. A cents; Egypt e.
cents; Switzerland. 36 cents: Sweden, 45
cents; Turkey, 43 cents and 81 cents; Rus
sia, 40 cents.
The Cuban war has greatly increased the
volume of telegraphic business in the West
Indies. The lowest rate is 40 cents per
word for messages to Havana. Other Gu
ban points are higher. and no towns I'm the
West Indies outside of Cuba can be reached
for less than $1.05 per word. Messages to
Porto Rico cost S1S5.
Central American rates range from 80

Blood Poison and Insaufty.

From the New York Medical Record
While the fullest credit should be given
to the staff of this important institution
(the State Institute of Pathology. 1t is but
fair to state that the study of toxaemia
in connection with insanity is by no means
a novelty. nor is It the discovery of the
enterprising young gentlemen connected
with that establishment who have been
credited Herewith. Over a decade ago
Solomon. Regis and others recognized the
toxic origin of mental disease. while no
less than ten others, among them Herter
and Smith, have written extensively on
the subject. Perhaps most credit should be
given to DIR. Allan McLane Hamilton.
whose paper on 'Autotoxis as a Cause of
Insanity was read before the Medical So
ciety of London IN May last, and noticed
in your London letter a short time subse-
quently. In this paper. which contained
much original research, the connection be-
tween toxaemia and insanity was fully
shown.

Therefore we cannot too earnestly set
about the task Of creating such a senti-
ment OF race as may play an elective part
in preventing this most desperate and fatal
result; we cannot too earnestly advocate
federation between all these five states
alliance offensive and defensive-such as
may mean an alliance for all time. With
such an alliance the Anglo-Saxon race will
be free from the fear of enemies without
or of treacnery within; free to work out
the higher destiny to which it will be
called.
This federation would consist. then, of
five distinct nations, no one being first or
second; above or below the others; their
people will inhabit the finest and richest
lands on the earth; they will mostly be-
long to one religion. The Church of Eng
hand or the Episcopal Church will, / be-
heve, swallow up the Protestant sects and
become the greatest church In the world;
Canterbury will take the ecclesiastical lead
instead Of Rome: they will enjoy the same
laws and the same Institutions; they Will
the same education; they will nourish and
raise their souls by the study OF the same
literature.
The sentiment which we are considering
began with q vague pride Of country; 1t
has now become, you will have observed.
a far larger and more important thing than
1t seemed at the outset. It Is no longer
only such q sentiment as would have been
