A Town Rides i'm This Elevator.

Probably the only elevator in the
world that is used to connect two parts
of town is the one in Heligoland, the
little island just off the coast of and be-
longing to Germany. One portion of
the town is on a cliff over 200 feet high.
The other is at the base of the cliff on
a fiat stretch of land. There are no
paths up the cliff, and all communica-
tons between the two portions of this
unique little place must be held by
means of the elevator-an elevator that
lifts an entire community to and from
the scene of its daily labors.-N. Y.

Chronic Rheumatism.

From the Industrial News, Jackson. Mich.
The subject of this sketch is fifty-six years
OF age, and actively engaged in farming.
When seventeen years old he hurt his
shoulder and few years after commenced

slight cold or the least strain, sometimes
without any apparent cause whatever, the
trouble would start and he would suffer the
most excruciating pains.
He suffered for over thirty years, and the
last decade has suffered so much that he
was unable to do any work To this the fire.
quent occurrences of dizzy spells were added.

The Governments Domain.

The commissioner of the general land Of
fee has submitted his report to the Secre
tary of the Interior. Compared with last
year, it shows decrease of 8, 29S homestead
entries, aggregating 37S,625 acres. Quite
proportionate to this is the falling off in gen.
eral health when no effort is made to reform
irregularity of the bowels. This can easily
be accomplished with the aid of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, also remedy for malaria,
dyspepsia, rheumatism and liver trouble.

An Old War-HOrse of journalism Dis
covers the Virtue of n New
Medicinal Variety.

There are only few of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me-
dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune,
is the chief surviving representative OF the
old school of virile, aggressive editorial
giants. :.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at all times, but to find health
in mud is rather modern innovation. That
is what Joseph Medill has been doing OF
late.
Mr.. Medill is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno-Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh its value. He was accom-
panied by his private physician, young
Armenian scientist of high attachments.
The great editor was mud-mummlt1ed daily
for several weeks and gained yisibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The final result of the experiment was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno-Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law for
little of the mud-treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be
regular visitor four times year.
This mud-treatment in which MIR. Medlll
found SO much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
After all, every form of life springs from the
earth, which is the great destroyer and assim-
ilator of dead and etfete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks At the foot Of
the converging hills, a big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of 5000 barrels day
and floods the soil, which consists of rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deciduous
foliage of the oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
soluble as sugar, and being devoid of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
of the roadway, of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
The mud is applied to the patient on cot,
the subject being. entirely encased in the
substance, steamed to proper temperature.
1t then acts as a poultice, stimulates the
skin, superficial blood vessels and nerves,
opens the pores and Initiates the blood, dis
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more rational.

THE STARVING cUBANs.

The position of the starving reconcen-
trados in Cuba is reported as growing
more serious every day and the latest
news is that the American consul and
the Spanish authorities have exhausted
their means of rendering assistance. AL
ready much aid has been given by the
Central Cuban Relief Committee ap-
pointed by President Mckinley, of
which Stephen E. Barton of the Ameri-
can National Red Cross is chairman; ex-
Mayor Charles A. Schieren, treasurer,
and DR.. Louis Klopsch, of the Christian
Herald. the other member, with head
quarters in Temple Court, New York

of immediate contributions for the work.
We are glad to note that Morristown
citizens are not allowing this call to go
entirely unheeded. Three weeks ago the
Executive Committee of the Local

an appeal to its societies; in direct re-

raised special collection for the cause
and individual citizens have also. contri-

midst of ruined homes and crops-should
have our practical sympathy which
means immediate money for food.

DATE SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED.

Every session of Congress sees a num-
Der of propositions to amend the Consti
tuition of the United States offered in
each House. This session is no excep-
ton. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,
who is usual a levelheaded legislator,
has submitted proposition to change,
by constitutional amendment, the day of
Inauguration of the President of the
United States from March to April 80,
which latter date shall be substituted
for the former ''as the commencement
and termination of the official terms of
the President, Vice President, Senators
Representatives in Congress" The pro-
posed change is wholly destitute of merit
and based entirely upon sentiment.
George Washington, owing to delays in
getting the new government into work
ing order, was not inaugurated until
April 30. March was the date fixed by
the convention and written in the Con-
stitution as the date for the new govern
ment to begin operations, but in the con-
fusion incident to establishing the new
order of things the Inauguration of the
first President was delayed nearly two
months. To fix April 80 as the date of
Inauguration of future Presidents would
simply be to commemorate the bungling
of the revered fathers of the Republic in
launching the new ship of state. The
proposition is commended only by a
mawkish sentiment and by desire to
have fair weather for the inaugural
how, all serious considerations being
ignored or abandoned.
