THE GENUINE
Danger From Use of Imitation
Homeopathic Remedies.

The wonderful success that has fol-
lowed the use OF Professor Munyon's
specific homeopathic remedies for
many years past has brought numer-
Gus worthless imitators and some clov-
er copyists 10 the front. Those who
need medicines, however, cannot af-
ford TO risk their health. and perhaps
their lives, on limitations. The new
remedies" so-called, that are put on
the market 10 take advantage OF the
reputation Justly acquired by Mum
yon's homeopathic remedies purely
through their merit, should be shun-
ned. Munyon's have borne the test OF
time, and can always be depended
upon. Professor Munyon has recently
opened a Hartford office at the United
states Hotel, in charge OF skillful
physician, and the cures affected there
are almost miraculous. The work done
by Professor Munyon's remedies
throughout this country in the last de-
cade is substantial tribute TO the SCI
ence of homeopathy, and TO the
purity and effectiveness of Professor
Munyon's preparations.

The close Of the present century bids
fair TO substantiate the claims which
have been put forward by many enthu-
siasts that it would mark a great era OF

now made of new processes and appllca-
tions of natural resources, of better un-
derstanding of natural laws and discov-
cries of natures secret that astonishment
is almost supplanted by bewilderment.
All of the discoveries and inventions
which have benefited mankind are latter
day productions, and more than one-half
of the total have been made known 10
the world during the past twenty five
years only this present year. The trans
mission Of visual images by electric energy
is an established fact, now being put into
simpler practical shape for general use
and the application of the electric force to
purposes of illumination is OF about the
same age. A curious feature connected
with the discoveries of the past quarter
of a century is the fact that in nearly all
of them electricity plays some important
part; IL is generally one of the dominant
factors in the discovery, without which
the new affair could not exist.

Although not generally known, IL is
still fact that the familiar three golden
balls which, as a rule, mark the place of
business of the pawnbroker, once on a
time constituted the arms of the famous,
or more properly Infamous, house Of
Medici in Italy whose ancestor was a ply
sician who adopted as his device three
pills. The Medici became bankers and
money lenders, and amasscd enormous
wealth from lending money at the high
rates of interest prevalent in their time.
When banks were established in other
cities than Florence, the Medici sign of
three suspended balls became the mark
Of a bank, and the practice spread into
France, Spain and Germany. BY and
by, however as this sign was adopted by
lower class Of money lenders, who made
advances on personal property, it fell
into discpute among the higher grade of
financiers, and, being dropped by the
-,ankcrs, was still continued by the lower
class and finally was restricted entirely
to such money lenders as received pledges

Some Facts About Immi-
grafton During 1896.
Many Who Came Could
Neither Read Nor Write.
A Bill That Is Worthless Even as
Curio-The Three Balls.

There are good many people In this
big country of ours who believe that
Immigration should be restricted and who
are disposed to criticise the action OF
President Cleveland in yetoing the Lodge
bill which provided an educational quail
ification as prequiste TO the admission
of foreigners. That they have some solid
reason for their criticism is shown by the
statistics of immigration during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1896. During
that year a grand total Of 343, 267 immi-
grants arrived on our shores Or this
number 5O66 could not write while rs l3O
could neither read nor write. or the
total number of aliens who arrived dur
ing 1896. II. 372 brought less than $50 each,
while 80, 756 were each provided with a
sum of money In excess of $50 According
10 the government reports the total
amount of money brought To this country
by foreign immigrants, last year, was
s4.9l7,31s. OF the total number (343, 267)
that came, 2010 were debarred as paupers
and likely to become n charge on the
state or county authorities; 576 were con-
tract laborers; one idiot, ten insane and
two diseased.

Confederate government during the late

realm it had some value as curiosity.
It is more than likely, however, that he
will find curio collectors as little disposed
to purchase it as the banks TO redeem it,.
The fact Is that even while the war was
going ON and Confederate money had a
small value it was extensively counter
fcited. Where the work was done is un-
known, but it is believed that, both in the
United States and in England, counterfeit
plates were prepared and Confederate
money was printed by the ream, To be
surreptitiously introduced into the Con
federate States and passed into circula
ton. This could be more easily done from
the fact that, having few facilities for the
manufacture of paper currency, the bills
both of the Confederate government ant
OF the individual states which issnet
currency were poorly printed on a cheaI
grade of paper, thus rendering simple th'
rask of the counterfeiter. How great was
the amount of currency thus palmed of
in the Confederacy there is, of course nj
means Of knowing, but the estimate has
been made that from 500, 00o, 600 to 5000,
900, 600 were manufactured by the counter
fcitcrs After the collapse of the Con
fcderacy all its notes became valueless,
but they were so numerous as now to be
worthless even to the curio hunter.

Next to electricity light forms one of
the prominent constituents of the new
discoveries. Whether in its application
to illumination or photography greater
strides towards the perfect knowledge has
been made with light and its manifesto
tions than with any other save electricity.
And yet, with the possession of all that
has been learned, we do not know the
actual difference between the two; no
unbiased scientist would hazard any other
statement save that they are different
manifestations of the same thing
One of the applications of light, that Of
photography, has added to astronomical
science the most powerful ally it possesses.
Ii is the unseen but all-seeing eye of that
wonderful science The Photographic
camera sees and imperishably fixes for the
deliberate gaze of mans inferior vision
that TO which the human eye, even
though il be aided by the most powerful
lenses, is totally blind. Stars so minute
that the giant telescope crowning Mount
Hamilton fails 10 reveal their presence TO
the human gazing intently at the end of
the colossal tube are seen with ease by
the Photographic eye and their spectral
images indelibly fixed upon the sensitive
plate.

AS between the first rude sand weak

unfortunately, telescope aid is limited.
