Something Better Than Medicine.

The following story from a London
hospita, has its funny as well as It's
pathetic side:
A woman had been brought to thu
hospital in a very weak state. We
could do no.hins for her; she seemed
to have lost ali hold on life, AMI
gradually got worse and worse. Ths
husband. who had often been to see
her and who was kindness itself, was
sent for to take the hast sad leave.
He came, this time accompanied. His
companion was buxom young wom-

Cattle Irnportations.

The Ensenada Lower Californian
prints the following:
Entries Of Mexican cattle into the
United States, as shown by the differ
ent custom houses on the border and
tabulated by the bureau OF animal in
dustry, show for the month Of July the
following entries Of cattle from this
republic: FL Paso, 2.490 head; Lare-
do, ss5: Nogales, All; Brownsville.
1876; Eagle Pass, 16S; Tijuana, liz.
making a total Of 4,A7 head, as COM
pared with 2s,25s head for July Of
1897"
In July, 1887, the Wilson law was in
force, and the heavy exports of cattle
from Mexico were having a discourag-
ing effect upon the cattle industry in
this country. Under the Wilson law
the tariff rate was 20 per cent al
valorem; under the Dingiey law it is
271. per cent. The result has been
a reduction of S. per cent in the num-
Der of cattle imported in one month.

supplying Water to Houses and Small
Factories.

The general introduction of water
throughout many sections Of the coun-
Try, especially those outlying districts
near great cities. has put the old-fash-
Toned we'll. to a great extent, out OF
commission. In most old places, how
ever. there are still excellent wells
that are practically going to waste be-
cause OF lack of knowledge of the
best means to utilize their contents.
A simple and effective device is the
arran cement OF small and inexpen-
=ive water motor attached TO the wa
ter supply service pipe at any conven-
lent point. This motor operates
small force pump which is fed from the
well. This pump conveys a small but
steady stream Of water to a tank or
reservoir which may be located al any
spot where the fall will supply the
premises. One many gather up the
co5ble stones about the place and
build a water tower with a tank In
the top for a very small sum. pro-
vided the labor can be done at home.
and at odd times. II this tank is sit
uated On some bit of higher ground,
so much the better. as it involves less
height in the building OF it. From
this tank a continuous supply may be
furnished to house, barn and outbuild-
ings, care being taken to provide suit
able receptacles or tubs for the wa
ter. For example: A tank in the
house can have ball valve attach
ment and close when the tank is fall.
The same device applied to tie barn
will give ample water supply there.
The value Of these little motor rov-
ers is that they work continuously,
never stopping to rest, and rarely
breaking down. being simple and con-
structed on the most approved prin-
ciples When the general supply tank
is full this shuts on also. The city
water which furnishes the motive pow
er is consumed only as far as re-
quired, and the automatic shut-o6 en-
tirely prevents waste. For very small
families this pumping apparatus might
not be profitable, but where any
Of water is required, it Is quite
as practical to use the well, which is
often improved by being continually
drawn from. Water and gas meters
are prolific sources Of irritation for
many of whom would
be glad to learn of some simple means
Of making use Of a we'll Of spring
which they value very highly.

Human Ant Eaters.

The eating Of insects has not. hith-
erto, presented itself as a vice Now.
however, it appears tina. the indul-
gence OF strange taste for such food
may be prejudicial to health and NOR
ality. Popular Science News prints
an account Of what was Al first looked
upon as new disease that broke out
among colony CT wood-choppers in
Maine.
The "boiters," men who cut the
round timbers into boards, were the
hrst to be attacked by it, For day
or two they acted strangely. singing
and laughing about their work, max
ing much needless disturbance and
showing great excitement. They lost
all appetite for food. going the whole
day without tasting a mouthful. Later
their eyes grew blcodshot. and their
limbs shook as if they were AFFLICTED
with palsy. At more acute stage CT
the disease the men collapsed entirely.
A doctor was called in, and at once
pronounced them intoxicated. The
rooms Of the men were searched, but
no liquor was found Those about
them were questioned. bu: could throw
no light on the matter Some Of the
symptoms did not indicate alcoholism.

lar than in cases OF drunkenness,
while the pupils of the eyes were en-
larged to twice their natural size. The

their senses only after repeated doses
Of medicine had been administered.
When we'll enough TO answer CUES
tons, the men all declared that they
had taken no liquor When asked to
account fer their illness, they said
they believed it was brought on from
eating large quantities Of the great
brown and red ants which they found
in the hollow butts Of the trees.
These insects are we'll known in all

The ants burrow homes for them

During the summer they roam in the
woods, but at the approach of cold
weather they return to winter quar-
tiers. where they apparently freeze,
and remain stiff until thawed out in

Foreign Capital Invited by Projections

Foreign Capital invited oJ 1HotectAo0
The importers revenge referred to
in q recent issue of the American Econ
omist-that OF retal;ating upon our
governments refusal TO admit under
valued goods by establishing a large
plant in the United States for the man

Minneapolis Tribune as an interest
ing illustration Of the working Of the
protective principle in favor OF Amer
lean labor. The Tribune" remarks:
If this is their mode of securing
revenge on the customs officials. it
will be a revenge that will conduce to
the interest Of American labor and
American farmers and merchants, for
the work Of manufacturing their goods
will be done here, American workmen
will be employed, and the wages paid
to their employees will be spent here
instead of abroad. Thus protection en-
courases an importation Of capital and
industries rather than of goods. The
way to national development is
through the diyersifcation and multi
pl;cation of industries. Political econ
omists say We need foreign capital to
properly stimulate our growth, and the
application of the protective principle
is bringing it to us

Benefits Of Bicycling.

All those who feel hipped, nervous,
irritable and generally out Of sorts
very frequently want not medicine but
a suhiciency of good exercise, and. if
they have not already done so. they
should indulge in bicycling. In on:
opinion there is nothing to equal this
form Of exercise to keep one in health.
OF course it must be understood that
when recommending bicycle riding, we
mean sensible indulgence in this
form of recreation, and not that per-
nicious form of it known as ''scorch-
ing" The bicycle is the best form OF
exercise We know as a health promo
ter. as it gives. or should give, an
abundance Of exercise without fatigue.
Let us compare it for moment with
walking. Suppose man walks a
mile? He will take on an average
over 1000 steps, at the same time, bear
In mind, he carries the weight Of his
own body at every step. When he
rides a bicycle he will only make about
600 steps, at the same time requiring
less force. and he has NO weight to
carry and gets over the ground in one
third the time. Exercise on the bicycle
brings into action muscles that have
ain almost dormant for years, in
creases the circulation, adds tone to
the whole system. fills the capillaries
with blood by forcing it to the surface
of the body, and stimulates the viscera
to increased action. Again, passing
through the air on a bicycle so swiftly
exerts an celebrating influence, caus-
ing q glow Of gladness to overspread
the whole body. suffusing the cheeks

PERCY DANIELS REVOLTS.
Under Lewel:ing Scatters Hot Shot
Among the POpuiists.

Gen. Perez Daniels, lieutenant gov.
ernor under the Lewelling administra.
ton. has put his blanket on and left
the pop reservation. Some time ago
he wrote an article entitled "A Pro-
test on the Council Door," to be used
as a supplement in populist papers
The article was suppressed. Now he
has had the article printed and is
scattering it broadcast A glance at
"a Protest on the Council Door is
only necessary, however, to discover
why the populist managers suppressed
it It starts out:

Speaking of the record of the popu-

says:

The Training Of Athletes.

Saldow says the method OF train
ing adopted by athletes is all wrong.
The usual course pursued is to place
the subject upon special diet, and
under the most rigid regime. His
idea is to let the athlete eat his usual
food and not deprive him altogether
of his usual fluids, providing he in
dulges moderately, and to exercise his
whole body systematically and gradu-
ally proceeding to the higher muscu
lar requirements.

concerning the restoration Of he
American merchant marine. The vast
importance Of this question as affect
ing the interests Of American labor
cannot be too strongly emphasized
Once the wage earners become thor
oughly alive to the fact that In the re-
habilitation Of their country's ruined
shipping industry there is an immense
outlet for remunerative employment.
there viii be heard from the masses OF
the people demand for prompt action
that cannot be ignored.
Already the subject has been taken
up BY the New York state organization
OF the Knights of Labor, and a COM
mittee representing that body is now
actively engaged in working for a
recognition Of the needs of the Amer
lean marine at the hands Of the lead
ing political parties. The resolution
under which this committee is working
was adopted at the last state congress
of the New York X. OF L. and de-
mands:
"The Introduction of plank in the
platform of each political party in
every state in the Union favoring the
national policy of re-establishing the
American merchant marine, thus to
regain our lost carrying trade; and
that every candidate for congress be
pledged, as a condition precedent to
70
elected, toward the accomplishment OF
this object"
The workingmen Of the seaboard
districts are not alone in their zeal
for the revival Of the shipbuilding and
ship sailing industry. The wage earn
ers Of the Mississippi valley have be-
gun to interest themselves in the ques-
ton, as will be seen from the following
letter to the American Economist
from R. L. Hilton. Grand Master Work
man OF the Ancient Order Of United
Workmen Of Iowa:

TENDER Is, 1S9S.-National pride ought
to be strong factor with all Jatriotzc
citizens. American people generally
glory in the recent success OF the
American navy, and if they could be
made to realize that great essential
for an ever ready ard effective navy is
an active, growing. prosperous mer-
chant marine, it would help to remove
the distractions which have been so
strong in these later years.
Then organized labor is today a fixed
fact, seeking in many instances to
dominate. And if the labor organtza-
tons of the country could be made to
see and feel that the building and
operating Of an American merchans
marine would create a demand for
American labor, that would be great
help. Then Republican candidates ana
speakers and the Republican press
should emphasize the thought; but
somehow on this matter. with rare ex-
ceptions they are, as they were regard
ing the tariff, tardy to learn, and some
