the man carefully, and then said: Why, my good friend, you have no busi- ness to be alive at all! You are suffer- ing from these separate complaints, each one of which has long since ar rived at stage which ought to have caused your death. This is most in- teresting case; is shows that one must not always believe in theory"
 The patient began to feel very un" comfortable but Professor Virchow did not notice either the effect of his words or the comical side of the situation. He added: Would you mind stepping in to the next room? l should like to show you to some gentlemen who are there. The patient followed the pro- lessor into the lecture room. where he was introduced as an interesting case, and he had to remain while the pro- lessor described the nature of the three diseases and progress they had made. On again hearing that he ought long since to have been dead man he got so uncomfortable that he felt longing for home, and bolted. The man Is still elive No doubt Professor Virchow is now more astonished than ever, and the patient of those days was able to laugh in his sleeve over the incorrect pro- gnosis while he warmly congratulated the doctor last Sunday!-Corres- pondence of The London Standard.

THE ONIoN,s DOOR.

It is interesting to make inquiry into the cause of this unfortunate quality of | the onion. It is simply due to the pre- sence of some quantity of another | mineral matter in the bulb-sulphur. It is this sulphur that gives the onion its germ-kllling property and makes the bulb so very useful as a medicinal agent at all times, but especially in the spring, which used to ba--and still is in many places-the season for taking the birthstone and treacle In old fashioned houses, before sulphur tablets came in to vogue. Now sulphur, when united to hydrogen, one of the gases of water, forms sulphurated hydrogen and then becomes a foul smelling, we'll nigh fetid compound The onion, being so juicy, has very large percentage of water in its tissues, and this, combining with the sulphur, forms the strongly scented and offensive substance called sulphur ct of allyle, which is found in all the alliums.
 This sulphuret of allyle mingles more especially with the volatile or aromatic oil of the onion. It is identical with the malodorant principle found in asafoeti da, which Is almost the symbol of all smells that are nasty.
 The horseradish, so much liked with roast beef for its keen and biting prop erty and the ordinary mustard of our tables both owe their strongly stimulative properties to this same sul- phuret of allyle, which gives them heat and acridity, but not an offensive smell, owing to the different arrangements of the atoms of their volatile oils.
 This brings us to a most curious fact in nature, that most strangely, yet most certainly, constructs all vegetable volatile oils in exactly the same way composes them, all, whether they are the aromatic essences of cloves, or anges, lemons, cinnamon, etc. of ex- actly the same proportions, which are eighty eight and one-quarter of carbon to eleven and three-quarters of hydro gen, and obtains all the vast seeming diversities that our nostrils detect in their scent simply by different ar- rangement of the atoms in each vegeta- ble oil--Rural Californian.

A RENT RAG" !"

It was about 10 o'clock at night and on Wells street, not far from Fourth, that man saw a Chinese lantern swinging outside a third-story window of a building across the way. The build ing was a boxlike prematurely run to old age and he knew it to be tenement house occupied almost exclusively by poor colored people
 In the day time the sidewalk swarmed with little black children, and there were dark faces roof. He knew the corner pretty well, but he couldn't understand why Chinese lantern should be hung out of a window. It had little decorative value, swinging against the lonesome front, and the man who saw it couldn't remember that the day was an anniversary calling for any illumination.
 A policeman happened along and the man asked him about it.
 What's the meaning of the lantern up there?"
 Don't you know?"
 "Why, no. The windows Up there are lighted and there seems to be some- thing going on.
 That's a rent rag
 "Yes, but what's a rent rag?"
 Well, when some man gets down on his luck and can't pay his rent, he has a kind of benefit dance. The other tenants come to it, and chip in 10 or 15 cents apiece. They get lots of fun out of it, and he raises S3 or S4 to pay his rent That's a rent rag"
 What's the lantern got to do with it?"
 'Thats the way rent rag is adver- tised. When that lantern is out the colored people know that some one is giving a dance to raise rent money. When some one else gives a rag he is supposed to come around and put in his hit It's 6 good scheme, only they say some of them try to work it tod often. "-Milwaukee Sentinel.

 Beside the Roosevelt boys. Instead of reading China's woes

SMOK ELESS POWDER IN BATTLE

SMOK KELESS POWDEIc IN RATTLE.
 Professor Kuttner, an eminent Ger man surgeon who has served with vol unteer ambulances in Turkey, South Africa and China, has been giving the results of his observations in the field
 He dwells upon the changes wrought by the introduction of smokeless pow der. Formerly the powder-smoke serv- ed to a certain extent, as a protection to the opposed forces but at present only light haze rests over the battle
 field, and even this is wanting in windy or rainy weather. In South Africa it often happened that slightly wounded soldiers, at the first shock of their wounds sprang to their feet in order to run to the field hospital to be bandaged, and in the next moment fell down, struck by several bullets. For this req son it was found impossible to begin to attend to the wounded before the end of the battle. All attempts to begin during the fight were fruitless. At Paardeberg, for instance, three sur geons and a number of ambulance men were shot. The ambulance service gen orally did not begin until the close of the action, and then it was very diff cult, owing to the darkness. After the engagement at Jakobsdal the service

WAITING FOR THE YERDICT.

The Schley inquiry, or trial, or what ever 1t was. is closed and when the court gets ready we shall know the yer diet. The testimony and the argu- ments have done much to clear up the situation, and it can safely be predict cd that Schley will not be found guilty of all the things which his detractors have charged him with For instance, he will not be found guilty of cowardice. In his argument yesterday Judge-Ad- vocate Lemly made the "prosecution's' claims plain when he said: From my knowledge of the man, having served under his command on two cruises. have never believed, nor do I claim from the evidence, that personal mis- conductor, to call a spade a spade, cowardice-was exhibited by Commo- dore Schley In any part of his career as commander chief of the flying squadron. But I submit with regret that in the passage from Key West to Cienfuegos, while at the latter port, en route to the southward of Santiago, without settled destination in the retro grade movement. In the return to the vicinity of Santiago and in the affair of May 31 the commodore exhibited un- steadiness in purpose and in push and failure to obey orders
 To this complexion has the great case come at last. It is not claimed that Schley exhibited any unsteadiness in purpose and in push about the time the Brooklyn and the Oregon were pushing the shattered Spanish ships onto the Cuban shore. It is hoped that it will be a long time before another admiral of the United States navy is driven to court of inquiry in order to show that Tn winning great victory he wasn't cowerd.

AN INTER ESTlNG PREDICTION.
 Brother Grosvenor of Ohio, who has | done some rather impressive predicting in political matters, has been looking over the election returns and they move him to predict that the protective tarift is to be no more revised or modified he means that there is to be not only no revision of the tariff, but no ratifi- cation of any reciprocity treaty which affects the protection now enjoyed by any American industry. It Is time, he says, that the people realized this, and he adds: The Democrats of Ohio have been making campaign on tariff re- vision, twisting President McKinley's words at Buffalo in relation to reel procity into a meaning that he never intended for them; but even the Ohio Democrats have now learned from the result that the people want no reciproc- ity of the kind they had in mind, and that the country is well satisfied with things as they are. The Republican party will fight it's battles for the maintenance of the existing system, and on that issue we never again need fear results.
 Some other prominent Republicans don't agree with Brother Grosvenor but that doesn't trouble him. It is probable that there will be some re- vision and modification of the protect i've tariff before there are changes in the ten commandments.

at the Snieiter.

The report has leaked out that
the Rocky Monntain Smelling
company has closed its plant in
definitely, but inquiry from some
of the local officials elected the
fact that it is not the company's
intention to close the plant with a
view of keeping it closed, but
merely to make lot of much
needed Improvements which are
necessary to put the works on a
better paying basis. When the
Improvements now under consider
alton are finished the capacity of

and much larger force of men
will be employed.
In the first place it is necessary
to install such machinery as will
allow the smelter to treat such re-
fractory ores as are now being sent
to outside markets, but for the
present, probably month. it was
necessary to close down the fur
naces SO that others may be set in
place. The refinery is now rapid
ly nearing completion. A large
lead furnace will be one of the adj
ditions made as well as some new
roasting furnaces
Men are now engaged in clear
ing off the ground on the north
side of the works for the reverber-
atory furnace so that the dust
which aocumulates in the dust
hues may be treated here.
