he is able with the aid of a mysterious
compound. known only to himself, pro-
duccd as a result of the years he has
spent in searching for this precious life
giving boon, to cure any and every dis
ease that is known to the human body.
There is no doubt of the doctors earnest
ness In making his claim and the re-
markable cures that he is daily effectins
seems to bear him out very strongly. Ills

medical practice of many years. 1t costs
nothing to try this remarkable elixir

remarkable and but for reliable wit

the remedy. The sick, given up by home
doctors, have been restored to their
families and friends in perfect health.
Rheumatism, neuralgia, stomach, neart,
liver, kidney. blood and skin diseases and
bladder troubles disappear as by magic.
Headaches, backeches, nervousness,

Does Observation-Disclosures Mean Mental

American Medicine.

This question is suggested by such facts as
the large number of unaddressed letters posted
each year. An English contemporary cites in
evidence the official list of the articles left in
1t includes $50 canes, 1900 umbrellas, 267 rugs,
749 opera glasses 962 articles OF jewelry, $50
watches. $3.50 purses besides dogs birds, cats,
The list seems like pretty severe indict-
snent OF the mental qualities Of the modern city
dwellel, and II the hard-pressed newspaper re-
porter happens to see il he will undoubtedly
send off a narrowing syndicate letter to all the

The more marvellous thing, however, is that
they do not forget more often than they do.
fold the necessary and synchronous preoccupa
tions OF the mind. Singleness of attention was
the predominant characteristic OF mental action
before time of bewildering interests and du-
ties Not to have learned the trick OF posing
in the attention at one instant such multitude
of objects is certainly not a demonstration of
mental failure, but rather OF nonacqurement of
a difficult art. But the more convincing proof of
the actual triviality of the amount of forget
fulness Is shown by the comparison OF the num-
Der Of memory-slips of the Londoner with the
number who ride in omnibuses and other public
carriages. Let double the number OF lost

roughly estimate the number Of rides each day

RUssIA'S CENSORSHIP.
Reads Like q jest, but Russian Ed
itors Find 1t Serious.
Tnpdoy, Eyproec

To be an editor of Russian newspaper
one must not only be a journalist, but
diplomat One must have the gift of veil
ing ones words in such a manner that, al
though to the searching eye of the censor
there appears nothing calculated TO disturb
the state, yet the readers-the subscribers
will shake their heads knowingly, discover
ing political meaning in a little sketch os-
tensibly fiction. but bear reality to those
who read between the lines.
The first press censorship was established
simultaneously with the first issue of the
oldest Russian newspaper, the st. Peters
burgskya Vjedmosti- The literal wording
of the ukase was as follows:
Observe that nothing is printed in the
st. Petersburgskiya Vjedmost derogatory
to the Tsar, the fatherland, the army, the
police and the goyernment officials:
with the growth of the press until at the
present time the editor is entangled in the
meshes of restriction.
At the head of the censorship is the min
lister OF the interior, and he has his hire
lings in every town where man puts his
thoughts on paper and sells them for ko-
pecks. The censor committee of each town
has "natchalnik." or chief-the chief CEN
sor, as he is titled-and he is directly re-
sponsibe to the minister of the interior.
There are two grades of censorship. The
first class includes those journals the whole
copy of which has to be sent in Ms. for
the censor's approval before line of IL
reaches the compositor's hands. After a
few years, however, this rigorous system is
relaxed, and the second grade comes into
force.
Those editors who have passed through
the distressing period of having TO send
their copy" to the printer via the press
censor need now only send the specimen
number Of newspaper to the committee
every day two hours before publication.
Should the committee see anything in the
sample copy contrary to their own ideas
of what is right. the whole issue is at once
confiscated. The punshments melted out TO
editors for contravening the press laws are
planned with the diabolical ingenuity of a
Ko-Ko For the first offense the editor is
merely cautioned. and for the second the
journal is forbidden the right to take ad-
vertisements for any term from three
months to a year. For the third INSIDE
meanor the journal is suspended for a pc
Rod OF from six months TO a year. and the
editor has TO pay fine of ESQ to $500. If
the editorial exchequer is in low state and
the money cannot be paid the editor must
sit in a cell for six months.
Should he offend again official patience is
exhausted: the journal is suppressed entire
ly, and the editor has 10 appear before
civil judge. who can sentence him to four
years hard labor.

marketing Of cattle this week has been fairly

market this week has been distinctly buyers
market. The receipts at all times were fully
equal to or in excess OF the demand and 1t was
rarely that sellers could dictate prices for any
grade. 1t has been long time since there was
as little interest manifested in the market, and,
in a word, the trade throughout the week has
been very tiresome and unsatisfactory to the
selling side. Prices in nearly all lines have
been reduced. and the market was made more
sluggish because in so many instances the cattle
were having to sell at a loss to the owner To
add to the hardship of statesmen values were also
Irregular and many times il impossible to
sell equal kinds at the prices in the same

a very strong market for good female butcher
cattle, and prices this week have been lower
than at that time, but there not a great
deal Of change from early In the week values
There was some complaint among buyers of the
scarcity of thick-fat cows, and they believe that
many times they were forced to pay a premium
for that class. The market for Gamers at the
close of the week fully 25c lower than
earlier. There a very respectable market
for bulls until near the close of the week, when
buyers took off nearly &c. The calf market has
been strong Ill week, but at the extreme close
there were no sales high earlier in the
