SPRAYS OF THOUGHT.

Devotion is the first child OF
faith.
He that goes barefoot must not
plant thorns.
Kindness and gentleness will make
home paradise,
Simplicity is the adornment for
female beauty, and is always be-
coming.
The sweetest language of the
heart IS whispered to God in the
secret chambers Of the soul
We may be wise today We
should be wise tomorrow, Love is
the song Of the sweetest emotions,
The passion that's in a kiss gives
it its sweetness 1t is the eflection
in a kiss that sanctdes it,
He who gives himself airs of inn
portance only shows impotence.
NSome generals are only small men
in generals uniforms,
One of the mysteries of this day
is that men and women who do
wickedly will look as innocent as an
angel.
Jealousy will ignore facts and as
sert things that she knows are un-
true and its spirit acts like a canker
worm and feeds upon its own gall
There is no such thing as remain
ing stationary IN morals, You are
daily growing better or you are
daily growing worse,
That actions speak louder than
words IS proven by the fact that
we go to witness actors ON the
stage render plays that we could
easily read at home,
A really beautiful woman shows
better her attractions when at
home in her common every day
clothes Beauty is often dullod and
looks insipid by over dress,

WOOLEN MANUFACTURERS

Admit That High Duties and Consequent

Somo of tho seyorest criticisms not
only of special duties and clauses, but
Of the whole aooursed protective sys-

turers themselves in their struggle with

association, is now and always has been
stanch protectionist, AS such he be-
lieyes that the TO- 600, 600 consumers Of
this country are legitimate subjects for
plunder and that the manufacturers
are the proper persons to enjoy the pro
lection plumber,
The free wool experiment which we
have been trying for three years, besides
being an object lesson in the way Of
cheap woolens, has taught tho woolen
manufacturers that they can mako rs
much or more profit with free wool and
moderate protection which permits peo-
pie Of moderate means to wear real
wooden goods, than with high duties on
both wool and woolens, which restricts
tho use Of woolens to people in good cir
cumstanoes. The manufacturers there
fore display more than their usual mod
esty and patriotism in the advice which
they are giving to congress, Mr. North

Will Morgan, tho Sunshine Miner, 10 in
Danger of Blood Poisoning.
Drs. Rice and Giffin were summoned
10 Sunshine last night to attend Will
Morgan, the miner who was thrown from
a horse last Friday and sustained COM
pound combinuted fracture of his leg.
They found the man in wretched con-
dition. The leg was badly infected and
the pus had not been allowed to escape.
AS consequence the wounds have not
healed and though the bones were well
set at the time of the accident, the knit
ting has not begun. The man not only
stands chance of losing his leg, but Of
losing his life as we'll, as there is now
danger of blood poisoning setting in.
1t is understood that the trouble was
due to the neglect of the attending phv.
scians, as proper attention al the time
of the accident would have prevented
the infection of the wound. 1t is possible
that he can be pulled through now with
proper care, but tits considered doubtful.

The Originality OF Osteopathy.

Itis said that there is nothing new un.
der the sum-" Truth is eternal. The
totality of things has existed from the
creation. But all things change, and
truth itself presents myria of aspects
as it unfolds through the ages. The facts
and forces of nature have been from the
beginning, but their discovery, interpre-
tation and utilization are progressive. All
science is based upon nature, and the
original study of nature in her laws and
life, constitutes the materials of science
There is not one atom or aspect OF truth
in existence now that did not exist from
all time, bat it, dis covery IS ever ad-
vancing as man reasons out its infinite
problems and possibilities.
There is, for example, not one particle
more of electricity now thar has always
been. 1t has ever been the great motor
force of the cosmic universe; but we are
just beginning to discover its presence
and utilize its power; and, as Mr.. Edison
says, both the science and art of elec.
triclty are yet in their infancy So of all
the sciences they are advancing, either
in the elaboration Of their principles or
in the application of their powers.
Now, Osteopathy is no exception to
these statements. In one sense, there is
nothing nep in its principles. They ale
as old as the creation of man. The laws
of its science have always reigned in the
body of man, but their discovery and ap-
piicaton are new, 1ndeed, many of the
principles of Osteopathy are old, but
their distinctive application in theraps ut
les without drugs rem lined to be made
by DR.. A. T. Still of Klrksville, Mo. In
this respect he ranks as their discoverer,
and he shall be ranked in history among
the great explorers and discovcrers OF
the powers of nature, and their applica-
ton, for benehcent results, to the human
race. The friends of Osteopathy should,
therefore, see to it that this science be
kept distinct and separate from all other
therapeutic researches. 1t is enough
within itself. 1t needs no supplement
from medicine, and should ever be kept
divorced from medical alliances. Osteo-
pathy, in reality, is the solemn protest
of nature against the dangerous system
OF drug medication in vogue at the pres
snt time and it should never compromise
with medicine in any way. II Osteopa,hy
cannot live and grow without medicine
then let it die; for it loses its right 10
exist as therapeutic science the very
moment it drugs itself to become like
schools of mediclne.-Iournal of Ostec-
pathy.
Such then, is the basis upon which
Osteopa,hy rests and from the results
obtained by DR.. F. J. Harlan, the Boul-
der Osteopath, who has successfully
treated some of the most complicated
cases ever presented to any practitioner
in the state OF Colorado, and we do not
hesitate to say that as Osteopathy ad-
vances and is better known the more
popular it will become, as it appeals

While the attention of congress is be-
ing devoted to the consideration of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty and to the
Cuban belligerency matter, one of the
most glaring evils of the national admin
istration policy is left dlsregarded. There
has been no growth of abuse in any de-
partment equal to that in the pension
department. No fraud in recent years
has grown to such enormous proportions
as has the pension fraud under the man.
ipulations of ftrickster lawyers. Even those
most vorable to the old soldiers receiv-
ing pensions are astounded at the totals
being reached in recent years. The in
ventiveness of rogues has prostituted
what is considered by many TO be the
sacred duty of the nat ion, to care for its
aged soldiers. 1t is no longer question
of policy or patriotism, but one of decid-
ing whether the pilfering OF the rational
trt asury shall continue. There is cry
ing demand for an investigation and re-
modelling of the pension rolls by con-
gress, and the step cdnnot be taken too
