In using medicines to stop pain we
should avoid such as inf1ict injury on the
system Opium, morphine, chloroform,
ether, cocaine and chloral stop pain by
destroying the sense of perception, the
patient losing the power of feeling. This
is a most destructive practice. it masks
the systems, shuts up, and, instead of re-
moving trouble, breaks down the stomach
liver and bowels and, if continued for
length of time kills the nerves and pro-
duces local or general paralysis.
There is no necessity for using these
uncertain agents when a positive remedy
like RAILWAYS READY RELIEF will

complaint can be levelled at any man for
paucity of literary production. The reti-
cence of learning is so rare in these days
that to complain of a notable instance
may seem uncalled for criticism. Yet
we do deeply regret any instance Of such
reticence. The fevered volubility Of ig-
norance, the amazing output of ilitera-
ture-to coin a much-needed word-that
distinguishes the present epoch renders
all the more necessary the measured pro-
auctions of the scholar and the sage.
The absence of production when produc-
ton 10 both possible and desirable (since
any production must bear the burning
stamp Of originality and 1earning) is in
finitely sad, and the sense of loss that
follows the apparently complete extinc-
ton of great learning Is among the bitter
tears of things. There arises the real
note of tragedy when the earth closes
over some mute inglorious Milton. or
over a man whose capacious intellect re-
fuses to unroll. let us say, the European
history Of the late middle ages. We seem
to remember a story of an Oxford schol-
or of great learning. He published little
or nothing and one day, when he felt
death was not far off, he deliberately de-
stcoyed notes and an1otations Of price
less value

Dr. Eager and Professor Vance went
to Egypt first. They went as far as the
first cataract on the Nile, and found the
scenery to be all that is claimed for 1t,
They saw the pyramids and ruins OF
temples and other great piles. They We're

Route before they were allowed to enter

cholera, which is prevalent in Egypt, being
taken to the country. After spending
several weeks in Jerusalem, travellers saw
the surrounding country by making camp

only way 1t could be done thoroughly, IL
being almost impossible to find accom-
modations where the country is sparsely
settled They next visited Smyrna, Con-
stantinople, E,scaplus, Olympia, Argos

Distress in Cuba.

New York Post.
The provincial press of Cuba is filled
with details of the increasing distress
in the island. In Matanzas work is sus-
pended on so many plantations that 20, 900
laborers are cut of employment From
Pinar del Rio comes the report of dozens
of the largest and best mills closed In
Las Villas the peasants are killing their
cattle for food. So it goes. To add to
the prevailing misery, the Cuban Com
pany is laying off hands. In some towns
the funds for public works are exhausted
and even streot-cleaning is abandoned.
Beggars are multiplied in field and viii
lage, and the people are everywhere Civ
ing their first and most anxious thought
to the question, not how to make their
rev Government work well. hut how to
escape starvation. This Is the actual
picture which We have to look upon in
Cuba itself, at the same time that our
bureau chiefs at Washington are putting
out their SNUG report on What We
Have Done for Cuba" The beet-sugar
Congressman shifted at the talk about
threatened Cuban misery. Where was the
evidence? Now they may see signs
enough of suffering. but it is too late.
They have done their work They have
saved their ~scts, but they have plunged
Cuba into distress and despair.

A CHARMING OLD MAID.
Aunt Polly" an Unattached Fe-
male" of the Old Regime.

male" of the Old Regime.
From Dorothy South, by George Cary
Eggleston.
She was Miss Polly to the negro ser
wants. To everybody else she was "Cous-
in Polly or Aunt Polly" and she had
been that from the period described by
the old law writer's as the time where
of the memory of man rInneth not TO
the contrary" How old she was nobody
knew. She looked elderly in a comfort
able. vigorous way, Gray hair was at
that time mistakenly regarded as a re-
proach to women-a sign of advancing
age which must he concealed at all costs.
Therefore Aunt Polly's white locks were
kept closely shaven, and covered with a
richly brown wig. For the rest. she WAS
plump person of large proportions,
though not in the least corpulent. Her
dignity was such as became her age and
her lineage-which latter was of the best.
She knew her own value. and respected
without aggrcssively asserting it. She
had never been married-unquestion
for reasons of her own-but her single
state had brought with 1t no trace or
tinge of bitterness no suggestion of dis
content. She was and had always been
a woman in perfect health of mind and
body, and the fact was apparent to all
who came into her comfortable presence.
She had a small but sufficient income
of her own. but. being an unattached fe-
male'-as the phrase went at a time when
people were too polite to name woman
an "oId maid"-she had lived since early
womanhood at Wyanoke; and since the
late bachelor owner of the estate, Arthur
Brents uncle. had come into the inherit
anCe, she had been mistress of the man
sion, ruling there with an iron rod Of per
feet cleanliness and scrupulous neatness,
according to housekeeping standards from
which she would abate no jot or little up
on any conceivable account. Fortunate
" for her servitors, there were about
seven of them TO every one that was rea-
sonably necessary.

first. His contract for sixteen appear
