The legal proceedings taken by the crew
of the ship r. F. cakes against the cap
tain of that ship. on her arrival at New
York with nearly all of her crew sick with
scurvy directs public attention to that
once dread disease. Thirty or forty
years ago. when long voyages in sailing
ships were much more common than they
are now, scurvy was the bane of the sail
orman's career. Probably the majority of
whaling craft and cruisers around the
Horn developed cases of scurvy on board,
Notwithstanding precautions. At the pres
ent day. however. the disease has become
almost as rare as il was once common.
Swift steamers have largely taken the
place Of the slower sailing craft. Long
voyages and scurvy have been disappear
ing together.
Scientific notions with regard to scurvy
have undergone a change of late years,
and the Indications now are that it will
not be a great while before hygiene and
medicine will have the disease under COM
plete control if. indeed, they do not pre-
vent it,
1t was once the theory that scurvy was
produced by a diet or salt meats, UNMARRIED
for a long time 1t is held now that it is
produced by the ptomaines from spoiled
or tainted meats, salt or fresh and that
if salt meats are perfectly sound they may
be served to men indefinitely without pro-
ducing scurvy. This was advanced by
Prof. Thorup of the Christiana Univer-
sty several years ago, and was demon
strated by DR.. Nansen during his trip to
the north in search of the pole. Nansen
took especial care to see that his meats
were perfectly sound when served, and the
result was that, although he was cut off
from fresh supplies for very long time,
his men suffered no i'll effects. There was
not a case of scurvy on the Fran.
Thorup's theory is that the ptomaines
from impure meats, when taken into the
alimentary canal, work their way by slow
process into the blood and produce scurVy.
If fruits and fresh vegetables of certain
sorts are eaten along with tainted meats,
the acids which they contain will counter
act the ptomaines, and scurvy will be pre-
vented. Nansen took with him a supply of
lime juice. which he served to his men for
the purpose of counteracting the effect of
any impure meats that might accidentally
have been eaten.
1t appears from the statements Of the
sailors on the Cakes that they were serv-
ed with very poor food, and very little
of that They declare the meat was not
fit to eat. If so, it no doubt contained
the ptomaines. or poisons, which Prof.
Thorup says cause scurvy The sailors
were not given fruit or vegetable acids to
kill the poisonous germs, and they fell
sick of the disease. and many of them
died. Had the ship been provisioned with
perfectly sound and well preserved meats,
according to the Thorup theory the dis
ease would not have made it's appearance.

A Question of Privilege.

Already quite a number of congressman
have introduced bills for the erection of
public buildings in their districts, says the
Washington Post. 1t has been pretty hard
shedding for this class Of legislation for
the past two years, and the outlook for the
future is not more favorable. If the bar
riers still continue, the position of the
members will be very much like that of
the congressman from Kentucky a few ses-
sions ago. His name was Mckenzie and
he had keen sense of humor.
He had introduced a bill for a public
building at Owensboro, the principal town
in his district, but had made very little
progress. His numerous promises to his
constituents were on the point of going to
smash, ana his unfortunate predicament
gave his rivals a splendid chance to adj
vance their own Interests. So one day, in
his dire extremity, Mr.. Mckenzie arose
and addressed the chair.
For what purpose does the gentleman
rise?" inquired the cautious speaker
ON matter of the highest privilege"
was the reply.
The gentleman will state it," said the
speaker.

seat question of highest privilege" per-
sisted Mr.. Mckenzie.

man, Il introduced some time ago a bill

claimed the distressed member, with great
earnestness, Il ask that the bill be now
taken from the calendar and passed, for
if it is not, 1 am sure that the member
from the Second district Of Kentucky will
lose his seat"
The House, which had listened to the
first part of Mr.. McI<enzie's remarks with
absorbed interest, now roared with laugh
ter. When the demonstration subsidized
the speaker mildly observed that the privi-
lege was not one of that peculiar charac-
ter which demanded recognition, and Mr.
Mckenzie sat down.
But his premonition was correct. He lost
his seat

At the dinner which he gave to the cab
met last week, says the New York Tri-
bune's Washington correspondence, the
President brought out box of cigars
that were fully eight inches long and an
inch and a half in diameter Several of
the guests who are tough old smokers.
like Mr.. Gage and Mr.. Bliss, Mr.. Hanna
and Col. Herrick of Cleveland undertook
to smoke them, and said that their flavor
was the finest they had ever tasted in a
cigar but one would last whole evening.
and they did not have time to smoke more
than halfway up before they were called
to rejon the ladies'. These cigars We're re-
ceived last week by the President from a
manufacturer in Havana, and were a part
of an invoice made to order for the Empe-
ror of Austria, who likes his cigars long,
fat and strong, and pays $40 for a box con-
tanning only ten cigars, or 50 a cigar. The
tobacco is of the finest quality to be OBJ
tanned in Cuba. The cigars are made
with unusual care and there is as much
tobacco in ten of them as in box con-
tanning 100 ordinary sized cigars. The
President received these through a friend
who happened to have been visiting in
Cuba and was asked by the manufacturer
to bring them to him.

The "Nevv Pulpit.

While attention is being given to the
new journalism" as it is called, it should
not be overlooked that there is also such
a thing as a new pulpit" 1t is conced-
ed that these mighty educational forces,
the press and the pulpit, should be kept
free, pure and elevating. An outraged
public sentiment is now administering
deserved rebuxe to the new journalism"
which will no doubt have salutary effect.
The orthodox pulpit is taking a commend
able part in this movement for the puri-
fication of the newspapers. But how much
attention is being given to those new pull
pits" which appear to be operating along
lines somewhat similar to those followed
by the new journalism" The objection
able newspapers resort to sensationalism
in order to secure readers, and the pulpits
or preachers. under consideration resort to
sensationalism in order to attract congre-
cations.
A case in point was presented in Chicago
the other day. A minister had in his pull
pit with him a reformed gambler" At
ter the singing of religious hymns, and
an invocation TO the Most High to bless
the services, the preacher began a dis
course upon the sins of gambling In the
midst of it he introduced the reformed
gambler" who proceeded to demonstrate
with cards how various games were play
ed, how gamblers manipulated the deck
so as 10 preclude the possibility of the
novice winning. and how "hold-outs" aud
various other paraphernalia of the gamb-
ling den were manipulated.
There were number of young men and
children in the assemblage. They were
very much interested in the reformed
gamblers" narrative with regard to the
ease of cheating at cards and other gam
bling games. They heard how gullble the
average person is, from the lips of one who
made it his business to work upon the
gullibility of the public. They watched how
he stacked the cards against an mag
mary competitor, and dealt just such
hands as he pleased 1t was interesting to
them to see him call the names of the
cards while looking at the backs of them
and without seeing the faces 1t was a
novel spectacle. and the assemblage paid
close attention. When the reformed
gambler" had concluded. the preacher said
a few words, offered another prayer and
dismissed the congregation.
Can there be any doubt about the PERM
clous influence of the exhibition upon the
young people in the audience? There was
a school for gambling. in the church, and
a past master in the profession as lectur-
er upon and demonstration of the art OF
gambling. The ostensible purpose Of the
school was 10 teach how wicked Il is TO
gamble; really IL served to show the schol
ars how the wicked practice of gambling
might be prosecuted successfully. Is that
the way to teach religion and morality?

A Song without Words.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
"Play us a tune" cried the children;
Something merry and sweet,
Like birds that sing in the summer,
Or nodding tips O. the wheat
Dancing across the meadows
While the warm sun burns and glows,
Till we fancy we smell in winter
The breath of a sweet June rose"
"Play us a tune" said the mother,
Something tender and low,
Like thought that comes in the au
tumn.
When leaves are ready to go;
When the fire on the hearth is lighted,
And we know not which is best
The long bright evenings coming
or the long bright days at rest"
And the dear little artist, bending
over the swaying bow,
Drew tones so merry and gladstone
And tones so soft and low
That we scarce could tell who listened
Which song had the sweetest words,
The one that sang of the fireside
Or the one that sang Of the birds.
Mary e. Blake.

shortcomings of the Senate.

In the April Forum Senator Hoar points
out some Of the reforms needed in the
Senate, and how they are to be obtained.
He thinks there is some excuse for the
harsh criticism of the Senate which are
continually appearing In the public prints,
but says such criticisms will not cure
the evils of which complaint Is made. The
cure is to be found in an intelligent and
healthy public sentiment.
One of the reasons why the Senate in
recent years has failed to enact laws de-
manded 10y the people, is the disposition
of minority of the senators, to deny to
the majority the privilege of directing leg
islation. The minority have been able
says the senator, on account of the rules
which permit interminabe debate, to. pre-
vent the passage of bills favored by the
majority. The whole Senate is blamed for
that for which the minority alone are re-
sponsible. There are half a dozen or more
men in the Senate who are never tired Of
hearing themselves talk, and in most
cases their talk is not only not worth lis
tening to, but is not listened to- The only
way a check can be put on these talking
senators is the adoption of rule which
would enable the majority to put a stop
to a debate when they think a bill has
been sufficiently discussed.
But why is it that the majority don't
adopt such a rule at once? Is it because
of their profound respect for a few sena-
tors, who insist in occupying the greater
part OF the time Of the Senate in useless
speeches, or is it because the Senate lacks
the moral force to do what it knows ought
to be done? Senator Hoar does not say
why the Senate doesn't put itself in a po-
sition to respond promptly to the demands
of the people. He contents himself with
pointing out the difficulties under which it
labors, and says what it could do If these
difculties were removed.
The Senate, the senator thinks, has i'm
proved in some important particulars.
Drunkenness is no longer seen on the floor
of the Senate and the manners of the SEN
ators have greatly improved. The lobby
has practically disappeared and executive
patronage is not used for personal adj
yancement.
But these improvements are not a sat
isfactory excuse for the failure of the
Senate to legislate promptly in the direc-
ton indicated by the people. The country
is suffering now for the want of a none
tary system that would insure a safe,
sound, stable and satisfactory currency,
and the people at the last election ex-
pressed their desire for such a system by
a majority of more than half a million
votes, and yet there can be no such a sys-
TEN adopted because the Senate cannot
be induced to respond favorably to the
will of the people There may have been
changes in the Senate for the better dur
ing the last forty years, but the reforms
that are needed are far greater than those
which have been made.
