room as the days go by and the

brand new Dress Stuffs are on show
counting only the colors. The
Black Goods are largely new, too.
The Silk store is more gay than
the September trees, and fuller of
new goods than the oak is of acorns.
First showing of Mems Fall Hats.
Every worthy new shape is on
show.
The Annual Blanket Sale goes
on. The more one knows of goods
and markets, the more realizing the
sense of the true and unusual cheap
ness of the blankets. On many
lines values are a full third above
the prices we are asking.
Furniture selling goes on-at
August prices while any of August
lots remain.
The Carpet store is in full feather
for fall. 1t is practically new
store and the builders are out. Vast
stocks of floor covering are ready.
And, hark! the school bells! A
dozen trained minds have been
planning and conjuring that the
supplies for wear and desk use of
the children should be ready as
never before. They are.
September may close KIondike
trails, but few make fortunes at
mining. September ushers in buster
and more helpful days at Wana-
makers.

state this year, out their iare lpresiden-l
tial standard bearer tells themsto in
dorse the entire Chicago platform. This
is the advice he, gives to.his party every
where, and there, are chances that it
will betfollowed. The Republicans GER
tainly hope that it will be followed,
and the gold Democrats undoubtedly
hold thetRepublicanview on this point.
There are several reasons why Bry-
ans counsel in this case is likely to
have great weight with his party. Bry-
an evidently retains much of his old
popularity with his late supporters. If
he is nominated in 1900, there are SEN,
timental reasons why his party will
want to reaffirm the entire doctrine for
which he stood when he polled 9, 500. 600,
votes, and the conflict ON his side with
the gold Democrats, which is steadily.
growing In bitterness, will show his
supporters that the dropping of any or
all Of the minor planks Of the platform
of 1896 will not win any votes from the
Cleveland and Palmer element. Thus,
IL free silver Is an issue at all three
years hence, all the other follies and
absurdities which stood with it last
year will keep it company. If this su-
preme lunacy Is Endorsed, there Is no
good reason why any Of its late partners
should be abandoned.
Many things can happen, of course,
In the three years which separate us
from the next meeting of the national
conventions, but it will be we'll for the
Republicans to keep In mind the posi-
bility that another national battle may
be fought on the silver issue. and that
the late silver candidate may again be
the standard bearer ON his side This
outlook ought, ON the whole, to be
pleasing to the Republicans. No even
tuality Of the political future is more
certain than that the combination of
elements which composed the Popocrat-
10 party In 1896 can never again be
gathered into the same camp. The Pop
ulists will not merge themselves in the
Democratic party any more. The ut
terances of Populist leaders and COM
mittees since last years election bring
out this fact clearly and conclusively.
They see that though they furnished
the principles in 1895 and large part
Of the votes the prestige for the VIC
tory, if there had been any victory,
would have gone to the Democracy. It
Is easy to see, therefore, that they will
not consent to efface themselves q sec
ond time. From present indications the
Populists and silver Democrats will
each have a national ticket In the field
in 1900, and under such conditions it
ought to be easier for the Republicans
to carry the country than it was in 1896.

Toxines and Antitoxines.

quire distinct antitoxines would appear
to require some modification. DR.. Cal

son. Roux and Calmette have shown
that rabbits vaccinated against rabies
acquire remarkable powers Of resisting
the action Of cobra venom. Again. ami
mails vaccinated against tetanus and
anthrax, respectively, not only elaborate
antitetanio and antianthrax serum, but
such serums have also been found to be
in some cases capable of counteracting
the effects of cobra venom. Calmette
has also shown that antidiphtheria,
antitetanus, antianthrax and antichol-
era serums possess decided immunizing
powers with regard to the vegetable
toxine Of abrine. DR.. Memmo, working
in the Hygienio institute Of the Uni
versity Of Rome, has observed that q
distinct, although slight, curative ac-
ton is produced by antidiphtheria Sc
rum in cases of tetanus.
Some extremely interesting investiga-
tions by DR.. Marriotti-B ianchi, dealing
with the action Of normal serums from
various sources on different bacterial
toxines, also tend to confirm the above
observations. Bianchi has also been able
to reproduce all the phenomena claimed
by Pfeiffer to be specific in respect to
the behavior Of cholera vibrios in anti
cholera serum by placing these vibrios
in normal serum derived from dogs and
cats respectively. 1t would appear that
not only may various antitoxines modify
one and the same toxine, but normal Sc
runs may also produce in some cases
protection against toxines This latter
point has been specially dwelt upon by
Bianchi in his memoir.

He Promotes Kestaurants.

A shrewd New Yorker, who started
his business career over 80 years ago as
a purveyor of coffee and crullers in an
all night booth at old Fulton market,
Is making barrel of money, his friends
say, as a promoter of restaurants.
This eating house speculator, after
selecting location, opens q spick and
span new restaurant, with cheap prices,
excellent service, first class cooking and
top notch meats and bread, vegetables
and pastry, coffee and biscuits. He soon
builds up fine trade. His patrons
praise the place for one or more Of its
speoialties, and then the promoter sells
out at handsome profit. Soon after
ward the chef, the pastry cook, the man
who bakes the delicious raised biscuit
and the keen eyed, alert head waiter
find one excuse or another for taking
leave. They are not tired of working
nor dissatisfied with the wages re-
ceived. They have received notice from
the promoter that he Is ready to open
another restaurant and that their expe-
rience and services are necessary to him
in,Giving the new place the reputation
that will draw full tables and enable
the promoter to land another purchaser.
This speoulator does not confine his
efforts to New York. Boston, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and even Denver and San
Francisco have seen the same crowd,
and the patrons are wondering why the
coffee, fish cakes, hashed brown pota-
toes and gooseberry tarts aren't SO nice
as when "this place was opened. -

moved outside, where the air was purer

corners men told fish stories, but these

Carelessly and stealthily Egbert

they observed him not. He sat down
and listened.

Deafness.

It has been stated that three persons
out Of every five in this country who
have attained the age of 40 years are
more or less deaf in one or both ears.
A large proportion of this deafness is
caused by catarrh, and medical treat
ment for difficulty of hearing is usually
directed to the catarrhal source. In Eu.
rope much of the deafness is hereditary.
DR.. James Kerr Love of Glasgow re-
Gently read paper on deafness before
the Royal society of Edinburgh. from
which it appears that congenital deaf
ness may be either hereditary in the di-
rect line or in collateral branches, and
that 1t depends on not one, but many
anatomical defects Intermarriage of
deaf persons perpetuates but does not
accentuate the tendency of deafness.
The hearing brothers and sisters of denf
mutes are as likely to have deaf mute
offspring as if they had been deaf mutes
themselves. Consequently of parents
emphasizes family defects, and in this
way many cases Of congenital deafness
occur. One of the most singular points
of DR.. Loves paper was the assertion
that the state had the right to control
the marriage Of persons belonging to
families badly tainted with deafness.

son, listen to the successful men. Learn
wisdom from them. Be silent while they
speak, but keep your ears busy. Treas
ure their wayds and 60 and do like

ERbert answered, Eyes, father"
In corner of the hotel two men
talked long and earnestly. Egbert
watched them from across the room.
They were well dressed and substantial.
Egbert said, "If could listen to their
conversation, I surely could gather
pointers BY the basketful, for they. must

The Democratic papers that take
their cue from Mr.. Cleveland, and more
particularly the Mugwumps, who would
like nothing better than to see the Re-
publican efforts for tariff revision frus-
trated, are continuing to whine and
growl and scold because congress is con-
sistent and does not abandon tariff leg

up the currency problem. They main
tain that the latter subject is the one
which the people want to have solved.
