Waterbury Democrat., 1901-08-05

Captain H. l.. Street, a former na- tional commander of the Union Vet eran union, who was recently muster ed out of the volunteer service after spending two years in the Philippines. was last week given a reception by his civil service war comrades in Wash ington. He is enthusiastic on the com mercial industrial future of the islands and predicts that Manila will displace Hong Kong as the most important port in the Orient Of the mineral proba- Utilities, Captain Street said: '"There appears to be plenty of gold and copper in the islands, and asnumber of miners who have recently gone from. Califor- mia are organizing prospecting expedi- tions. They hesitated about making the ventures for some time owing to the presence of Filipino bands in the section it was desired to visit, but now these have been practically all broken up and small parties we'll armed should be able to protect themselves Many of the ignorant natives come to Manila with gold, which they trade for pro- visions and the like One of them was given $500 worth of goods for his dust.

strengthening of the trust institutions at one ofstheir most distrusted points; and thereby adds new element of confidence to the great industrial in- Sestments which have been organized within the last few years. The recent Improvement in the. weather has not produced any marked rebound in prices of stocks, probably owing to the fact that it came too late. Excepting among the railroad authorities, the feeling is not optimistic. It is dis couraging fact that the balance of es- inmates as to the Kansas corn crop places it at but 30 per cent of an aver age; and in any case it is too early as yet to form any definite ~opinion on these latest maturing cereals. August and the arrival of the frost are the factors that most determine the yield of the maize plant. Under these con- sditions, there is disposition to defer purchases of stocks until the probabili- ties of the crops are more fully devel- oped. At the same time. this uncertain ty is serious factor tending to hold the market in suspense. Tn commercial circles, the feeling remains hopeful; the abundance of money in the treas ury affords assurance that the loan market will be well protected.

At 8la [ BLOOD POISONING. \
The Symptoms Are of Two Varieties l5z Which Differ More or Less
 ST 3ye How to Prent 1t.

In the widest acceptation of the terms blood poisoning occurs in all infected diseases, in Bright's disease, biliousness, malaria and many other troubles affecting the general sys- tenn. But, as usually understood, it means poisoning by pus microbes or their products, conditions medically known as pyaemia or septicaemia, says Youths Companion.
 A quarter of century ago these diseases were very common respe- cially in hospitals, eand were often the cause. of frightful mortality among the, wounded in battle; but now they are becoming more and more rare, and many physicians of several years practice have never seen a well-marked case.
 This happy change is the result of the general adoption of the princi- pies of antiseptic surgery, whereby septic infection of wounds and con sequent extensive suppuration are prevented. But blood-poisoning still occurs at times after wounds made with infected objects, or wounds which have been allowed to fester without proper treatment.
 Physicians occasionally get blood poisoning in consequence of slight cut or scratch received while per forming an autopsy after a case of appendicitis, or other suppuratiye dis ease. In cases in which death fol- lows an operation for appendicitis the cause is frequently septicaemia or pyaemia, the operation having been undertaken too late to prevent the absorption of septic material.
 The symptoms of poisoning are those of profound depression of the general system, but the symp- toms Of the two varieties of blood poisoning differ more or less.
 Septicaemia usually begins abrupt ly with chill and high fever. The pulse is quick and weak, the breath ing is rapid and sometimes op- pressed, headache is usually severe, the appetite is lest, and there is nausea with vomiting.
 In pyaeTaia these symptoms are gradual in their appearance, and are preceded for day or two by slight fever, loss of appetite and general depression. There is q succession of chills, high fever and sweating, so that the case is sometimes mistaken for malaria. Later all doubt is re- moved by the formation of abscesses in various parts of the body.
 Both forms of blood-poisoning are grave, but recovery is more apt to take place in septicaemia. Treat ment consists primarily in attention to the wound through which infec- tion has occurred, which, if access ible, should be opened freely and thoroughly drained. At the same time the system must be supported by stimulants. heart tonics and nourishing and easily digestible food.

Banker Henry Clews backs up the trusts in his last letter in this fashion,: August is generally quiet period on the stock market. and in the absence of support lower prices are likely to be made for the Corner Road stocks. A good deal depends upon the steel strike. which at present dominates the market to a considerable extent. The action of the unions was bold chal- lenge to the most potent corporation in the United States. If yielded to, the rights of capital. in dealing with em- nloves. must have been surrendered and the industries of the country thrown into confusion. The action of the steel trust, therefore, needed to be unfiinching and unmistakable. The unionists should recede from their de- mand for the mutual benefit of both sides. There has been no small mis- giving as to what may be the outcome of the hospitality of labor towards this great corporation; but that distrust Is now extinguished; and the great trust experiment must conquer its foremost difficulty and forestalI its chief peril

George F. Ahern. who looks after the forestry interests of the United States in the Philippines has been smashing some popular errors. He said: "A mistaken idea prevails in, the, United States that most of the Philippine tim Der is of yarities very valuable for cabinet making. There are seven or eight varieties which take fine finish, but apart from these none of the na- tive woods are likely to find their way to the United States The commerce which has already sprung up in a small way between the islands and the Pacific coast is restricted by the un- certainty of profit on the stuff that comes this way. as well as by the use lesSness of some of our woods in the Philippines. The white ant. which is the terror of the forests in the archi- pelago. will eat pine, fir. and other soft woods, but will not touch cedar The quartermaster's department has made some experiments in shipping fir. red wood. spruce. and pine from the Paci- fic coast for the construction of store houses and other military buildings, but the ravages of the ant doom those structures not strong enough for use in much structural work. The native woods which are proof against insect pIagues will probably continue to be used chiefly for buildings"

Because the n6tifeati ton wagon rat tied up to the door just as most ofathe }guests of the evening had assembled, and carried the host off to watch his place of business burn, one fine-Iook- ing young man in the company kept himself IS much out of the way as possible, his countenance showing that he was both bored and embar- rassed, says the Detroit Free Press. This look attracted attention, but the hostess herself was at loss and has tened to inform herself.
 This is Mr. -" as she extended her hand.

 You mean that your father and my husband are acquainted, but she looked so pleased that he knew his pretended mistake had scored. "I can't quite understand it. What are your initials, please ?"
 "G. w. Not George Washington, but George Warrington, for see there is mistake somewhere.'
 A very pleasant one, however. To be frank with you, our eldest daugh- ter is engaged to a G. W. Blank. He is not here, and she is inconsolable Now you see it all"
 'How awkward. Your daughter and I are the chief sufferers, I imagine, for it will be an easy thing to set mat ters right with my namesake, whom shall hunt up and congrat tu1ate. Of course, couldn't make my peace with the disappointed one in her present frame of mind, but I've seen very charming girl here whose looks tell me she, too. is your daughter. Pos sibly could enlist her as a peace maker"
 All of this was accomplished with musical voice, deferential manner and one of those smiles that women go down before. He was introduced, the little god with quiver made a special case of it, and it is settled that both of the sisters will be Mrs. G. w. Blank.

WHEN THE OLD FARM IS SOLD.
The Former Owner Is Generally Un- comfortable in His New
 Quarters.

How difficult it is for one who sells his home farm to again place himself in as good shape as before he sold. He finds that the associations which go with the farm cannot be replaced. He had become familiar with every rod of land on his farm, the rocks and trees, the hills and brooks and the pathways were his old acquaint- ances and there was an air of home and friendship all around. After he has sold all these come before him. He may have received a large price for his farm, but that does not conn pensate for his loss, says the North ampton (Mass.) Gazette. And when he comes to look around for another farm he finds that he cannot easily be suited. There are plenty of farms for sale, but they have not the good features of the old farm. Something is lacking in all of them. Money can compensate for some things, but not for all. MT. Hoxie, of Roberts Mead ow, has found this out. Last fall he sold his farm there to the water commissioners at what the commis- sioners thought was an excessive price. He was obliged to sell,, be- cause a part of his farm, being near to the water course, was deemed to be injurious to the purity of the wa ter. MT. Hoxie has been looking around for another farm ever since. He finds a number for sale, but there IS lack of homelike flavor about them all They do not fill the place of the old farm, where he was born and where he has always lived.
 And this recalls another instance of farm selling. A man had fine farm in one of the adjoining towns. It just suited him. The land was strong and rich. It was beautifully located on a slightly hilltop. The buildings were not very good, but the land was all right. One day he had chance to sell. The price was high that is, it seemed so to him, as it was much more than he had called the farm worth. After he had sold he began to realize his loss. It dawned upon him that he had parted with something that was adapted to his needs and incurred a risk in buy ing another farm. He. felt badly, tears filled his eyes and his heart was sad. He has never found farm like the old farm And he never will. He wishes he was back again on the old hilltop, among the familiar rocks and trees.
 The moral of all this is, don't part with the old farm until you are com pelled to and are sure you can better yourself.

The most important act of the Chi nese government for many years, so far as it's relations with foreign govern ments are concerned. was the replacing of the Tsung- -h- Yaman, through which all foreign business had to be transact ed, by board of foreign affairs on modern lines. It was so important that officials of the department of state were inclined to doubt the correctness of the news until the Chinese minister called at the department and assured them that he had been officially inform ed of the correctness of the press dis patches. It is a long diplomatic step forward.

4 dim, dry fog prevalent in Ger many, known as the Hohrauch, has been traced for distance of 150 miles from its supposed source with out great diminution of it's intensity or distinctive smell. It is commonly attributed to the extensive burning of peat in North Germany, where the tillers of the soil will at certain sea- sons hoe up the rank growth of their fields and burn it on a large scale. A haze of very similar description has been observed in New England and Upper Canada; so also, according to Livingstone, in the Barotse valley; the cause in all cases being assigned to the extensive burning, often at a. great distance, of grass or forest tim. Der. The seIf-sanae results must be looked for in the case of the burning of coal on an equally gigantic scale in London. with the one difference. that the effect must be incompara bly, more perpicious.
