MIR. Black has also made an abusive
attack on MIR. OuZts and Col. Vance, ex-

something to sly. 1t appears to us, so

facts and then people will do the rest.

when We read the articles of Mr..
QUITS and Mr.. llascldcn, we almost re-
Erct that the code has been abolished,
for II 1t were not, people would not
write and newspapers would not pub

hight. We do not believe in personal
abuse at long range or through the
newspapers. If you want to dcnouncc

is the only manly course to pursue.

Mr.. ID. y. G.. QUITS has finished his
first series Of letters exposing what he
terms have been mistakes in the man
aGcmcnt OF the dispcnsary. The Her
aid and News has published and will
continue to publish his statements so
that the reader who does not have access
the daily papers may keep up with this
matter. In the papers last Thurs
day Mr.. }. Dudley hascldcn, Of the
State Board Of, f,COntrol, had Il statement
in which he says he will reply to the
charges OF Mr.. OuHtS. There is in our
Judgment very little in what Mr.. QUITS
has bad to say and no force was added
to ii by abusive cpithctS. Mr.. Ilascl-
den will not strengthen his position by
abusing Mr.. OuHts. The public is not
interested in this TRADE of personal
aoUoG. If there has been mismanuyc-
mcnt, and even rascality, state the
facts plainly and clearly, and furnish
the proof, and the people arc discrmi-
mating enough to arrive at proper and
just conclusions.
Mr.. DuZts' statements and CHARGES
lose force from the fact that he claims
to have known about them for several
years, but did no. say anything about
them until he lost the job he had.
The whole thing will no doubt T., suit

AS to the effect Of these matters un-
on the dlspcnsary system, there Is diff

system arc delighted because they
think it means its downfall. while tho

The fact that a man talks little is
not a sign of wisdom. Even the most

enough to keep their mouth shut.
It's a poor mule that won't kick

If the ancient philosopher who be-
lieved that ''there is nothing new un-

put to editing a yellow journal, he
would fake something new when
he found it did not exist in fact.

The Liar of Marseilles.

"One encounters some astonish-
ly able-bodied liars in travelling" said
a lawyer, who was abroad last season.
"While [ was at Marseilles, during
nv visit to France, | vas seated n
evening in the Cafe Richie, in the
heart Of the city, when my attention
was attracted by the loud talk of a
black bearded man at the adjoining
table. He appeared to be a Hunga-
rian, and was telling some French Of
ficers of an adventure at New Or
leans. OF course, | pricked up my
ears and heard his whole story, which
was substantially this: He was TAX
ing dinner at the principal hotel, he
said, when a negro waiter spilled a
plate of soup on a lady's dress. In
stantly the guests decided that the
culprit should be lynched, but the
landlord begged the director Of the
party-think of a directorof a lynch
inc bee !-to defer the ceremony un-
til after the meal, as, be was very
short of help. This was c~ourteously
agreed to, and the prospective victim
assisted in serving the repast, pray
ing eloquently between courses. AT
ter coffee he was taken out and
strung up to 2 stately tree on the
boulevard in front,of the hotel, the
lady whose gown had suffered giving
the word from the gallery.
"This astonishing balderdash was
told seriously, and waa interrupted
by frequent ordinations of horror.
What brutes!' What pig-dogs!'
What monsters!!' | could hardly
believe my ears.

French, 'but in what year did the in

American JaiIs.

Count Rocco Dianovitch, a rich
Polander, has adopted a very queer
business. For 81 of the Al years of his
life he has lived in jails for the purpose
of gathering information for book he
is anxious to write on the subject. AT
IS he left his home and went into Prus-
STA. where he was arrested for tres
passing and sent to prison for three
months, working at chair-malSing.
From that time to this he has never
been free from the desire to continue
his prison explorations From 10 until
he was 20 he was in and out of more
than 20 prisons, in Belgium, Prussia,
Poland and Russia. His first experience
of Jail life in England was in Liverpool,
which was one of the worst he was ever
in. filled with drunken and riotous sail
ors from all over the world. BE stayed
there six days, when he paid his fine
and got out: the first time he failed
to serve his sentence. Then he went to
Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Australia;
next to India and Japan. and then to
America, where he remained for two
years, spending most of his timein jails
and houses of correction. 1t is pleas
ure to know from such distinguished
i authority that the count consider!
American jails the most pleasant in hi
experience.-Golden Days.

LUMINOUS SUGAR.
The Generation Of Light Occurs Dur-
ing the Process of Crystal
lization.

There are phenomena attending the
formation of crystals which are appar-
emily quite distinct from chemical ac-
ed solution of arcenious acid is al
lowed to cool, the act of crysta .iization
is accompanied by Il flash of light. AS
each crystal forms there is short,
sharp glow, indicating the release of a
certain amount of latent energy in the
form of light radiation. A related
phenomenon would seem to be the case
quickly rubbed together. The flash is
perfectly distinct and bluish-white in
color, the light extending into the sub
stance itself far below the surface,
Some interesting experiments on this
manifestation have recently been made
by Mr.. John Burke, NJ. A., the results
of which We're communicated to the
recent meeting OF the British Sssocia-
zion of Scienceat Bristol. by mounting
disks of loaf sugar on lathe and
projecting hammer on the rotating
surface an almost continuous iuminos-
ity was obtained. The wearing away
CT the sugar is compensated for by ar
ranging gradual approach OF the
piece to the hammer in exact accord
ance with the amount of sugar scraped
away. In this way the spectrum has
been observed and Photographed From
these observations it would appear
that the luminosity cannot be due to the
impacts, the indication being that the
| light produced is due either to some
change in the CONFORMATION of the crys-
! ta,s Of sugar or to some sort of chem
zeal action set up between the sugar
and the surrounding air at the freshly
| formed surface. The fact, however,
! that the surrounding medium does not
seem to affect either the color or in
tensity of the luminosity suggests that
! TIE effect IS not due to any Influence of a
chemical nature of the surrounding
medium on the sugar, but favors the
former hypothesis that the luminosity
is due to some structural disturbance
in the sugar itself. This ingenious and
pretty study is being pursued further
and the result should lead to some in
teresting observations. Light is sc
often a manifestation of physica
change that it is probable some day we
shall derive it for Illuminating pur

FRAGRANT SALTS.
A Popular Article That May De
Very Easily Made ut
Home.

A bottle of choice perfumed salts is
always 4 popular article and it is easily
made at home. Purchase u pound OF
the very best carbonate of ammonia
from trusty druggist and three
ounces of the purest English oil of Law
ender. This amount of ingredients will
fill a large number of bottles. Select at
d wholesale dealers at least q dozen
bottles of proper size, with broad
mouths and close glass shoppers. 1t is
essential that they be of clear white
glass but they will not be expensive,
Select also as many corls as necessary
to fit the bottles. Crush the ammonia
a little and mix it thoroughly with the
oil of lavender. Divide the lavender
evenly through the salt Fill the bot
ties, which should each hold about an
ounce and quarter of tie salts. Cork
them and set them in pan of warm
water and in warm oven, where their
contents will gently heat. Ii the heat
is too great, however, the corlls will be
driven out of the bottles. In about two
hours lift them out of the oven and let
them gradually cool. Remove the corks
and replace them with the glass stop
rers. Tie on the shoppers with pretty
lavender ribbon of narrow width.-N
