STIMULATES IN ACCIDENTS.

In conditions of collapse and fairibns ss the use of stIlmulants is important. Wheu the face is pale and bedeweh with cold precipitation, the pulse faint and the breathing irregular, lthaen is whsn the jul dicious use of some stimulating agent is necessary Coffee. gwen strong and hot in small quanlttties, is a safe and useful rem5dy.
 Alcohol is nor. potent in its effect, and recovery is quicker. Brandy is the best of alcoholic stimulants and, failing this, rum or wine. Give a ltItle at first and watch for returning color and quickensd pulse and if these fail withhold the al cohol enIirely, for it is doing harm in stead of good.
 If the patier,t has been wounded and much blood has been lost thie amount of stimulant given may be large, com bining it with rest in a. horizontal atti- tude and plenty of air, but if there be no loss of blood and only nervous shock the sblmuIant should be given cautiously. As soon as reaction ss'ts in the stimulant should be immediately discontinued.

British Sentiment.

Perhaps Senator Morgan may not be very far wrong in his predictions of com- ing trouble between England and the United States. Recently, when it was proposed to erect a statue of Washing ton in London, one of the newspapers there opposed it on the ground that 1t might provoke strife between the two countries. It said:
 Like all near relatives England and America quarrel now and then. Per haps some day 1t might occur to a bo.s- terous jingo to make the statue of the Father of His People the subject of an modifying demonstration.
 In plain words, the London paper meant to say that some day a mob would deface the statue. This may seem to be a very small matter, but straws show which way the wind blows. If London journalists are considering the possibil- ity of an attack by a British mob upon a statue of George Washington it is fair to presume that the people over there have no great love for us.
 No doubt the gold standard statesmen who think they control the republic

The Durrant Case.

Joseph Blanlther, the murderer wtlo committed suicide in a Texas prison, may have been the man who committed the San Francisco murder attributed to The od-ire Durrant.
 Blanther lived in Atlanta awhile after the San Francisco horror, and to an in- timate frlend he talked about it repeat edly. He read every line about it and sent for copies of the San Francisco pa- pers. He admitted that he waIs in Cal ifornia at the time of ih= murders, and szid that he knsw Durrant to be innocent. In his pcss sSSion were the photographs of the murdered girls, and he said that he had known them. Tha mysterious Blanther left 8 confession stating that he was the slayer of the two girls.
 Possibly he told the truth. The evil dence against Durrant is very strong, but 1t is circumstantial. If ths con- fesssion of Blanther should have the ef- feet of saying Durrants neck at the eleventh hour it will be one of the most remarkable escapes in history. Blanther may have been crank, but he impressed people as a man of great intelligence and attractive personality.

A Color Blind Nation.

The English people, even of the highest caste, seem to be absolutely indifferent to the color line.
 Fifty years ago Lord Macaulay wrote that when a black man could give his daughter a million dollars young men would have no objection to the girls color. That was written from the point of view of an Engl.shman, and 1t seems that Macaulay did not islander his coun- trymen. Sir Edwin Arnold, as every body knows, has married a Japanese woman, and now the, news comes that Lady Anne Coventry, third daughter of the Earl of Coventry, is to be married to an Indian prince, named Dhuleep Singh. The Indian government will set tie an annuity of $1O,0OO on the bride.
 When such matches occur in the high est circle of English society, the people of this country should not attach much weight to the opinions of that nation in regard to our race problem. If the Eng Hsh are willing to intermarry with in- ferior black and yellow races, let them do it. That is no reason why American public sentiment should change.

are as legitimate as Sunday schools and Sabbath services, but our schools. like our complex sysasm of governments, na- tional, stata, municipal. are sustained by gernsr'al taxation and the revenues from lands set aparb for that purpose, and should be maintained on the strictly sec ular basis 6swoted solsly to the instTuc- ton of children in the first rlHdimenits of education. There must be no more olc- cu1tlsm than sectarianism, and no de- partluue from this rule. however inshdious must ba allowed.
 This is an agia of experim sntation. All sorts of theories are exploited and put to some sort eff test. That kind of in- quiry is legitimate, and what seems fool ishness to one may alem wisdom to an- other. The domain of the known is be- ing widened all tine IHnfe, and may yet extsnd ito th5 realm of what HerbTib Spencer calls the unknowaib1e, and winch otheas content themselves with simply calling the unknown. In a genuine free age and country inquiries of this soH5 are bound to go on, butt they have no rlghtfulN place in the public schoolroom. It s enough for those pupils to be drill ed in absolute knowledge, and any sGep- ping beyond the legitimate boundaries is fraught With danger.

Populism in France.

The F ench premier. Moline, would be called populiat, if he, lived in this coun- try. The Chicago Post says of his schemes
 His plan for government loanls on agricultural products is indis tinguisha- ble from ths Sub-treasuly plank of the populist platforms of the pre-silver peri cd. The sub-treasury scheme was laughed down and out of American politics as a fool proposal, and today the populists themselves wonder how they could ever look upon it as an attractive and win ming issue. Yet Menne's proposal is being seriously considered by a commit tee and a favorable report is not i'm probable.
 Meline's plan is in some respects worse than that of the American populists now discarded. Loans are to be effected through certificates without compelling the farmer to store his grain in govern ment warehouses. He is to remain th4 custodian 0f his crops, and he is to be allowed to choose his own time for sell ing them and redeeming the loan. Whsth- CT he is to pay any interest is not stated, nor do we knlow swhe 'ther he is to bear the cost of 'tha arrangement. And this is the propesal of a conservative min fstry, placed In power to combat radi- calism and socialism! Verify. the French socialists might retire altogether, seeing That their work is done by their alleged enemies.
 It is to be feared that the French re- public will be its own worst enemy. If these crazy experiments are tried France will soon be bankrupt, and then the masses will rise in ona of their periodical revolutions, and "the man on horseback will come again to restor. order.
 No government can abolish poverty; no legislation will enable men to live comfortably without producing some thing of value There Is vast differ encs between a just, safe and adequate financial system, and cne which would come a borrower.

satisfactory at time when 1t is ta this Hobbes was more than half right when he defined war to be ths natural state of mankind. When foreign nations are not fighting with the swond they adopt other offensive tactics. When the people of a country ars not fighting a foreign enemy they fight at home, or bad feeling arises between factions and classes.
 Even without war there are fearful and the oppression of certain classes and of vicious systems can destroy property, hurt industry. and starve people to death.

In a talk with an English reporter the other day Mrs. Orniston Chant said, apropos of '"The New Woman and Her Tobacco": T tried a cigarette, but the result was by no neans encouraging.

Broadly speak ing, see no reasen why women should not smoke as we'll as men if they wi sdh to, but I sincerely hope they wont I very strongly object ito young boys and girls smoking.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Another inStallment has been given of the story of hypnotic influence in pub lie school. Sheboygan, Wis, is furnish ing it. A few years ago such thing as a teacher in one of our public schools practicing hyrot.sm upon his pupils would have seemed Itoo absurd for se- rious consideration. But since Svengaai was made one of the familiar characters of romance by the art of Du Maurier, this phase of ths occult has had a. certain popularity. That a great many Svenga- liam experiments should be made was to be expected. but nothing of that kind should be allowed or tolerated ito go un- rebuked in a public school in any state.

A New Warfare.

There are indications that Germany, France, England and perhaps other Eu- ropean nations will combine together in tariff matters and injure American com merce by imposing heavy duties upon some of the products shipped by this country.
 Such a system of warfare, if continued for some time, would injure this country more than an actual clash of arms. It is true that the United States could re- taliate. but the result would not be

A New Dancer.

The improvements and eoveniences of civilization bring many new dangers with them, as is illustrated by the fol- lowing paragraph from the Springfield Republican:
 The New Haven roads third rail sys- tenn of electrical propulsion now encoun- ters the question of damages. This may prove a ser.ous question. If anybody touches or steps on the rail it is apt to knock them over or burn them, and the rail is where people and animals can easily step on it. One woman now brings suit for damages for injuries re- ceived in contact with the th,rd rail on the New Britain line. She was knocked down and claims to have been severely burned. One man during the opening days of the line reached down and touched the rall with his steel-handled umbrella. He got a shock which might entitle him to damages in the eyes of some jury The outcome of this first case will be roted with interest
 The new transportation system IS coming, and it will be popular because it will be cheaper than the steam railways, but how shall the people guard against the fatal work of the third ran?
 It VII net be safe for people to walk or ride on horseback over a country covered by a net work of third-rail sys- tems. But modern progress does not stop to consider the possible loss of hu- man life If the transportation com- panies see a big profit in the new system it will come to stay, no matter how many people suffer from it.
