"FRIGOTHERAPY.o

NJ Raoul Pictet, a famous Swiss scien-
fist, has come to this country for the pur-
pose of lnstructing us how to give disease
germs and death a cold deal. He says
he has discovered how to beat germs al
their own game; that is to kill them be
fore they can kin their intended victim.
NJ. Pictet is a long step in advance of the
other germ-hunting and germ-killing sci
entists. They have gone to the pains of
searching out each specific germ of the
various diseases, and of producing a lymph
or other form of cure for that especial
germ With M. Pictet it does not mat
ter to what branch of the family belongs
the germ %hich he is after; his treat
ment, he says, viii kill a comma bacillus
or my other kind and all other kinds. with
equal neatness and dispatch.
NJ Pictets cure is called "frlgother-
apy," which is translated to mean "freez-
ing cure" There as a point of the Their
mometer at which germ life ceases to ex-
list. Yellow fever, as is very well known,
disappears from communities when the
frost point is reached Now. the cure of
the Swiss savaut literally freezes out
germs which may have found Judgement
and begun pernicious activity an the hui
man system. He places the patient into
a receptacle, which he Calls a well and
gradually, reduces the temperature with
liquid air to a temperature something be-
low zero. The patient remains in the wen
for from five to fifteen minutes. After
three or four descents into the well every
germ that formerly fed and fourished
lin the midst of the sufferer is as dead
as julius Caesar and the patient has moth
ing to do but get hearty and strong again.
There are no liquids in contact with the
patient in the well. He is bundled up in
furs and fiannels, and dry cold is turned
in upon him gradually, until the point Is
reached when it is cold enough to freeze
the nose Off a brass Cyrano. But. ac-
cording to the doctor, the patient does not
suffer from the cold. There is, indeed. no
impression of cold whatever. The sensa-
ton, on the other hand, is rather exhil-
arating, and after one has been in the
well five minutes the temperature of the
body is actually higher than at the be-
| ginning of the treatment.
| NJ. Pictet is the discoverer of the lique-
faction of oxygen, is a member of the Lee
| gion of Honor and forty scientific organi-
cations in France and Germany. He tried
his cure upon himself first, and said it
made him well. One of his patients was
the Prince of Servia, whom it is said he
| cured after a period of twenty years of
ill health. A complete apparatus for the
freezing cure costs some $4,000. NJ.
Pictet says he hopes and expects to see one
of them in every town in the United states

Speaking Of Sarah BernhaTdt, they tell
this OF her in London. where she was last
spring. says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The
great one dropped into a booksellers shop
one morning. Il sold her quite pile OF

her every attention, and she seemed pleas
ed As she was going out she took hold
Of my pencil and asked me something in
French which l did not understand. See
ing that l failed TO catch her meaning she
looked about on the counters, then, quick
as a flash, she took up a volume of one
of the very best sets of Scott, bound in
tree calf, opened it at the very center,
wrote something quickly, calmly tore out
the leaf, handed it TO me. smiled and went

While there is much that can be sad
against the new Hanna-Payne shipping
bill, and especially against its bounty
feature, there is one thing in 1t which
merits commendation. 1t is the tenth sec
ton, which virtually provides for a school
of navigation in which American boys
may learn to become pavigators and com
manders. The section requires that GER
tain number of American boy apprentices
shall be carried on each American vessel
and taught the art of navigation. Thus
the education gained will not be merely
theoretical, but will be emiuently practi-
cal.
The attention of the country is now
turned in a remarkable degree to shipping
and ship building. our manufactures
have outgrown our home markets and
their products must be transported across
seas 10 other markets. AT present we are
shipping many millions of dollars worth
of our products, from farms and factories,
to foreign countries, and for years in all
probability, our exports will steadily in
crease The trade is now going in foreign
bottoms, and we are paying the freight.
So profitable is the steamship service be-
tween the United States and Europe that
there are at present upwards of fifty
steamships being built for the diff
ferent transatlantic lines. None of these,
however, are 10 sail under the Stars and
Stripes
why should vast amounts of money be
poured into the pockets of foreign ship
owners for carrying American freights?
Why should not this money be kept at
home? These questions are receiving at
tention, and. if Congress will permit them
20 do so, the American people will solve
them by owning ships and carrying their
goods TO market in their own convey
ances.
AS stated, the people are turning their at
tention to the building of ships an which to
carry our commerce. We shall need men
TO command, navigate and man the ships.
We are opening archaeological schools all
over the country. We are teaching the
boys to build houses, run mills, build rail-
roads, dig mines and canals. make textile
en- ware; why should we not also teach
boys to successfully handle merchant
ships? With a large merchant marine.
such as the codntry ought 10 have within
the course of comparatively a few years,
the sea will offer quite as promising career
to ambitious and capable young men as
either the railroad or the mill.

THE BEAVER sTATEsMAN's TROU-
mn.


It is a mistake to suppose that Senator
Quay Of Pennsylvania is expecting to be
reelected TO tbe Senate without serious
opposition. The opposition to him is be-
coming stronger daily. One of the Re
publican members of the legislature from
the senator's own county has ANNOUNCED
that he viii not vote for him as long as
the conspiracy charges stand against
him. And there are many other Repub-
hcan members of the legislature who take
the same position.
Therefore Senator Quay is in great
trouble. He sees defeat staring him in
The face. He thought it would be an
easy matter TO have himself reelected 10
the Senate. He did not think that Re
publican Legislature would hesitate to
send him back to the Senate, especially
as he was not opposed by a strong candi-
date in his own party. His party friends
tell him, however, that he must clear him
self of the charge of having used the
money of the state for his own benefit
before they Will send him back TO Wash
ington.
IL IS SAID tndI some OF MS ITlenuSs SPEAK
ing for him, say that if the legislature
will re-elect him he will resign in the
event of his conviction on the conspiracy
charges. That sort of a bargain, however,
does not seem to meet with favor. The
point is made in regard to it that no
agreement of the kind proposed is neces-
sary because if reelected and then con-
victed he would have to resign. The
Senate would not permit him to retain
his seat. The offer to resign therefore
is not likely 10 cut any figure in the SEN
atorial contest.
The fine political work which Mr..
Wanamaker, the bargain-counter man,
did last fall, is now becoming apparent.
He did not make speeches against the
state Republican ticket; neither did he
say anything in it's favor. All of his
guns were aimed at Quay. In view of the
fact that the Republican ticket was elect
ed by a very large majority it was said
at the time, by many, that Mr.. Wanna
maker had not accomplished anything
II appears that he did, however. 1t looks
as if the speeches he made created a pub
lie sentiment that will defeat Senator
Quay's reelection and make it difficult
for him to avoid conviction on the con-
spiracy charges. The outlook for the
Beaver Statesman is extremely gloomy.

The original project for deep water from
the city of Savannah to the sea contem-
plated a depth of IS feet. II came about
in this way: An effort was being made
TO secure a channel of p 10 "a feet or
rather an appropriation for such a chan
mel Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown was then
in the Senate He said there was no rea-
son why Savannah should not have a 2S-
foot channel; that it would be just as
easy to get one of that depth as less. He
made strong speech on the subject, and
exerted his influence in other ways with
the result that the survey contemplated a
depth of Is feet. Many persons looked
upon the position taken by Senator Brown
as visionary and thought the project i'm
practical. The Morning News thought
that % feet could be secured, and did
what it could to have the plan for that
depth adopted. Now there isn't any room
for doubling that all that is needed 10 Sc
cure a 20-foot channel is an enthusiastic
engineer in charge and an adequate APP
preparation.

JudiciaIIy Dull.

One Of the most remarkable peculiarities
of the English bench is the wonderful and
proverbial simplicity of its justice. says
the Chicago Record. The judges in the
English courts have or affect to have the
greatest ignorance of air sorts of things
which the average child of ten would have
known as well as his alphabet. Sir Henry
Hawkins once asked simply, what Is
hay and Earl Hafsbury inquired who
was Pgott?" A few years ago in an action
Mr.. Gilbert Edward Clarke read from a
book of the plaintiffs description of
Chopin's ''umber-shaded hair Lord Rus
sell of Killowen assumed look of blank
establishment. What shade?' said he.
"Umber-shaded" said Sir Edward.
Yes; but what shade is that?" pressed
the Lord Chief. The British jury could
stand it no longer. Brown, my Lord,
brown" they all cried in one voice, and
the judge thanked them benignly and al
lowed the case to proceed.
MIR. Justice BAN, an Irish judge, was
noted for his manifestations of ignorance;
but it is probable that many of them were
prentended. He tried a case in which a
man was indicted for robbery a the house
of a poor widow The first witness was a
young daughter, who identified the prison
er as the man who entered the house and
that the prisoner at the bar broke your
mothers chest?" asked the judge in aston
ishment.
"He did, my Lord" said the girl; "he
jumped on it until he broke it entirely"
The judge turned to the crown counsel,
'then how is this? Why as not the prisoner
indicted for murder?'
Some men were indicted at the Cork as
sizes before the same judge for riot and
assault. The prisoner had beaten two la
borers who were drawing turf from the
bog of an obnoxious landlord. One of the
witnesses said in the course of his evil
dence.
I'VE saw the prisoner fencing along the
road"
Eth? What do you say you saw the
prisoners doing?" asked Justice Bail.
Fencing, my Lord"
With what2"

The Philadelphia Ledger's Washington
correspondent wrote to his paper day
or two ago that the administration was
very soicitous about the charges regard
ing the unfit character of the beef sup
piled TO the army, not because of Its eff
fects upon the health of the soldiers-so
far as appears from the reports the health
of the troops is not giving the admnistra-
ton any concern-but because of the eff
feet the charges are likely to have on
our export trade" Can 1t be possible that
the correspondent is correct? He is US
ually very close TO the truth, it must be
admitted; but is it a fact that the ad-
ministration is more concerned respecting
whether or not we shall be able to sell
Europe large orders of beef than 1t is
whether our soldiers have suffered from
the criminal greed of army contractors?
1t is not 10 be believed without absolute
proof.

NEGROES IN CUBA.

The impression that negroes can stand
the climate of Cuba better than white
people does not appear to be supported by
the census reports of the island There
has been a steady decline of the negro
population ever since slavery was abolish
ed. While il is true that negroes in Cuba,
as elsewhere, are very neglectful in mat
tiers pertaining to health, it would seem
that this neglect would not affect greatly
the increase of the negro population in the
very mild climate of that island.
In new work entitled Commercial
Cuba" by William T. Clark, there are
some interesting figures in respect TO the
negro population of Cuba. He says, that
according 10 the census of 1887, the island
contained a population of 1851. 6S7 divided
as follows Whites. 1,l02, $50, blacks and
colored persons, ass, 1877 and Chinese and
other coolies, 4S,s11. From these figures it
will be seen that the percentage of whites
to the total population was 945 not count
ing the coolies, and that of the negroes
was 1905
In 1871 the negroes constituted IS per

the newspapers deserve the punishment
