SALT AS AN ELIXIR OF LIFE.

From the Springfield Republican.
 Whether Abram s. Hewitt. after being on the verge of physical breakdown, from old age three years ago, has been given a new lease of life by hypodermic injections of phosphate of sodium, or wheth- CT some other cause has given him a healthy appetite, made him more strong walker and restored hsy capacity for mental work, does not seem to himself
 important. He is satisfied to be at his of- flee every day, ready for any of the large business interests he controls. But there is quite a discussion of the merits of gly- o-phosphate of sodium, which was first administered to him in Paris in 1897, and which his New York doctor says was the "only efficacious" ingredient of Dr. Browns Sequard's elixir of life. Nothing has been heard of this elixir, by tine way, since the great Paris neuropathist died. Dr. Shrady is one of many physicians who pooh-ooh at the specific. He says: This matter of rejuvenation by the salt in question is too absurd for serious comment"

WHY HIS SON IS NOT A SAILOR.

Admiral Dewey in Success for January.
 If boy has no inclination to become a sailor, I should certainly not encourage him to become one; and even if he has the desire, I should make sure that it is not temporary craze for adventure. Many boys who ship aboard vessel when they are 15 or 16 are very sorry for it a few years later. To be really successful in the navy a man must have his heart in the work, and young man who dislilles the can never distinguish himself in the service. My son is not in the navy The reason is way, and I refused to spoil a good busi- ness man in him by making a poor sailor.

WHEN THE LAMP IS SHATTERED.

Percy Bysshe Shelley. When the lamp is shattered
 The light in the dust lies dead When the cloud is scattered
 The rainbow's glory is shed, When the lute is broken,
 Sweet tones are remembered not; When the lips have spoken,
 Loved accents are soon forgot. As music and splendor
 Survive not the lamp and the lute, The hearts echoes render
 No song when the spirit is mute; No song but sad dirges,
 Like the wind through a ruined cell, Or the mournful surges
 That ring the dead seaman's knell When hearts have once mingled, Love first leaves the well-built nest, The weak one is singled
 To endure what it once possest O Love who bewafest
 The frailty of all things here, Why choose you the frailest
 For your cradle, your home and your
 bier? Its passions will rock thee
 As the storm rock ~4the ravens on highl Brigh' reason will mock thee
 Like the sun from a wintry sky. From thy nest every rafter
 Will rot. and thine eagle home Leave naked to laughter,
 When leaves fall and cold winds come.

Carrie BrideWeIl's Power.

At the Metropolitan Opera House in New York last Sunday night there was truly a grand concert. The concert was by Grau's Grand Opera Company, and was under the direction of MT. Walter Damrosch, who many years ago, incidentally became son. in-law to the late James G. Blaine, and a Birmingham girl was the greatest and most exquisite power which thrilled the great audience of culture and enlighten- ment that gathered to violate the saw buth" by listening to pure and elevating music. The New York Sun says of the concert:
 Miss Bridewel. who was discovered by Mme Sembrioh only last year. showed once more that she is going to justify. such distinguished patronage. She sang with distinction and power. Indeed, she could have filled building twice the size of the opera house without an effort. She is distinct addition to the company"

MlLITARlsM IN SCHOOLS.

From the Lafayette Journal
 number of misguided people in different parts of the country are busying them- selves getting up what they calhschoolboy militia. Nothing more damaging to the boys of the nation can possibly be devised than this crusade army crank. Nothing can be worse for the nation than the turn ing aside of tSle attention of teacher and scholar for the interests of the military company. Soldier duty among men is re- garded as to be avoided where this can honorably be done The man who makes it a necessary part of a child's life is less than patriotic He is a parasite.

And in order that no injustice be done by registration to any one legally entitled, an appeal should be given from such decision to the courts. Those who are disfranchised for crime committed should be restored to their rights of franchise, if at all, only by the vote of two-thirds of the members of the General Assembly.
 The disfranchisement of the whole negro race would be unwise and unjust. They constitute large minority of our State population-over S0O,0O0. Among them are many honest industrious and good citizens, capable of fairly understanding the issues of n campaign and for what they would be called upon to vote. Such men are patrl- otic.

LEWIS STATEMENT.
What Bryan Would Have Done if Elect
 ed President.

Washington, January 10.-Mr. Levy of New York, who was present at the meeting of the House committee on coinage, weights and measures to advocate his bill, created something of sensation by stating that MT Bryan, the recent Democratic candi- date for President had told him that if elected President he would find a way to pay the obligations of the government in silver.
 Horace White said he assumed that no argument was necessary in support of the gold standard. The only question at issue was the means to be placed at the disposal of the Secretary of the Treasury to secure it's maintenance. He then took up the lan- guage of the bills and gave the Hill bill his endorsement.

To investigate u Prison.

The state Board of Control will be called
upon soon to make an Investigation of some
matters connected with the management of
the penitentiary at Anamosa. Formal
charges of mismanagement and ncom-
potency have been preferred against Dr.
Druet, the prison physician, the exact ma
ture of which has not been disclosed. As
these accusations came originally from dis
charged employees of the institution. but
little attention was paid to them, yet the
board has determined upon making an in
vestigation which will establish the facts in
the case. There are also more or less in
definite charges against Warden Hunter,
who is in charge of the prison, and these
charges relate mostly to the expense of
maintaining the prison. Comparison has
been made between the two state penten-
tiaries and II is shown that the one at Ana -
mosa is costing a great deal more than the
one at Fort Madison This Is explained by
reason Of the fact that the convicts at Fort
