NEuMANN,s TOME OPENED

A strange scene took place in the
basement of st. Peters Catholic
church in Philadelphia last Tuesday.
For many years the church has daily
been the goal of pilgrims who come
TO pray at the tomb of Bishop Neu-
mann and to ask his intercession.
So many remarkable cures We're said
to have been effected that the church
authorities in Rome appointed COM
mission to investigate the matter
For several years the process, which
has already led to Bishop Neu-
mann's being declared Venerable"
has been going on, and he will even
tually be pronounced saint. So it
was decided to have Neumann'
tomb opened in the presence of the
court to ascertain in what state of
preservation his body is, and to OBJ
tain a description of it, so that in
future years it can he recognized as
the true body of Bishop Neumann.

THE TAX ON oLEoMARGARINE.

Editor Palatka News:

think your statement of the is correct. If am

quite concession to the poor aborer not able to eat
good pure butter The l0cts per pound is paid only

but the mandatory 1t simply deprives them making
several per pound without giving any considera-
ton. w. H. MANN
The 10-cent revenue tax applies on colored oleo
only. The tax on the un-coored product is one
fourth of cent pound. 1t is difficult, however,
for dsinterested person to understand why 1t Is
more henous to color oleo golden yellow than 1t
is to color winter butter the same tint. Both are
concessions to the public taste. Cheese, ice cream,
candies and many other products consumed as foods
are colored because the purchaser has preference
for color as we'll as for certain taste. Cheese is
colored to deceive the purchaser, and many man
buys a skim milk article dyed rich color to make
it resemble the full-cream product. Why single out
one product for special legislation and leave the
door open for others?
The man who substitutes oleo for butter and
charges the butter price should be punished severe
ly Other frauds should be punished as they de-
serve. The coloring of cleo. skim milk cheese and
winter butter is not Objectionable when 1t is done
to please the eye of the consumer.

Demoraized by such conditions the American

Solomon the wise man might have added this
prov3rb to his long list: Before engaging in crimes
against the people, the protection of rich and
powerful friends. Estes G. Rathbone appears to
have done this without admontion, and thus he
betrays far-sghted business talent. He has
friends who, like the busy cascaret work while he
sleeps. Fidelity companies come forward, pushed
by unseen hands, to offer bond for 100000 for
his appearance for trial, unseen influences have
worked among the Cuban legislature-elect, which
asks for the pardon of all Americans now under ar
rest in the island. This may not be disinterested
benevolence. The Cubans may not feel safe with
men of Mr.. Rathbone's talents among them, even
when they are III Jail The telegram forwarded to
President Palma suggests that some influence is at
work, and Mr. Rathbone has reason to complain
of the conduct of his friends.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nouri8h par
ticular part Of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good the food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purifes

Col Liver Oil from Beans.

During the wait between halves in
one of the recent football games, a
medical student and a young woman,
became slightly embarrassed for top
les of conversation. FINALLY, and not
unnaturally. in view of the nature of
the young mans studies, their talk
drifted to the subject of disagreeabIe
tasting medicines. Among the horri-
bles they mentioned We're cod liver
oil and castor oil.
Il don't see" unused the young wom-
an, chow any one can bear to eat the
beans that stuff is made Of"
What kind of beans do you mean?"
inquired the young man.
why, cod liver oil beans, to be
sure"
Aren't you thinking of castor
beansT' ventured her companion.
'Why, | always thought cod liver
oil was made from BEANS" she said;
and the good breeding of the young man
was shown by the fact that he didn't
even smile. But several of those who
sat near by hadn't equal control over
their featureS.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Ireland's "Hangwoman."

Women compete with men in many
trades, professions and other means Of
obtaining a livelihood, but the very

she was called, was not iIl-favored,

University Magazine for January, 1850,
'as d middIe-aged, stout-made, dark

Natural Rernedv.

There is an old negro in Washing
ton who believes the art Of healing is
a gift not to be acquired. A friend
recently attempted to draw him out.
You say you're Il natural doctor,
Uncle EnOs; now what would you rec
0mmend in a case of agUe"
Uncle EnOs leaned on his broom in
silence for a moment, lost in thought
but when he spoke it was with the
calm assurance of an oracle.
de bes' medicine for de ague would
be an efIiOrescent powder, to puff out
de skin and lift it off de bones. When
de skin is drawed tight over de bones,
and de ague begins to shrink it, de

4 Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm of fire at
night is the brassy cough of Group,
which sounds like the children's death
knell and it means death unless some
thing is done quickly. Foley's Hon

relief and quickly cures the worst
forms of Group. Mrs. P. L. Cordier,

FORCEFUL EXPRESSIONS.
The Power of illustration In the
Turn of a Phrase.

n FnraSe.
James Russell Lowell said, There's
a deal O. solid kicking in the meekest
looking mule" If the statement had
been, There's a good deal Of obstinacy
covered by apparent amiability," the re-
mark might have passed without q mo-
ment's notice, but attached to such a
figure as the poet used it will be diff
cult for the mind ever to get rid of it.
Mazzini says, Labor is the divine
law of our existence" This is little
more than commonplace, but when he
added, 'Repose is desertion and sui
eide" the commonplace was transfig-
ured into a memorable illustration.
a French writer said, THE really eff
ficient IabOrer will be found not to
crowd his day with work" That seems
to be fOrgettable. When he adds, He
will saunter to his task surrounded by
a wide halo Of ease and leisure" the
halo serves the purpose of an explana
tory illustration.
President Garfield once said, mine
times out of ten the best thing that can
happen to a young man is to be tossed
overheard and compelled to sink or
swim for himself" The tossing over
board was the illustration. The saga
cious president gave it significance and
emphasis by personal reference, I'm all
my acquaintance l never knew man
to be drowned who was worth the saw
ing"
When Lavater said, "Habit is alto
gether too arbitrary master for me to
submit to-" it was the word master"
that constituted the memorable illus
tration.
Carlyle. a great master of metaphor,
said truly: "No man lives without jos
Ting and being jOstled IN all ways he
has to elbow himself through the
world, giving and receiving offense."
The doctrine of this sentence might
easily have become a mere platitude,
but it is fixed upon the memory by JOS
ting and being jOstled and the elbow
ing of oneself through the world. This
illustration is the very making of the
argument.-Joseph Parker, D. D., in
HOmiIetic Review.

He Missed His Beauty SIeen.

A good story Is told by Thomas
Preston Brooke, the famous band
master, that illustrates the stupidity
of some hotel bellbOys.
Mr.. Brooke had been doing some
hard travelling with his band, playing
two towns daily for about three weeks
before reaching New Orleans, and ey
erybody connected with the OrganiZa
ton was tired out. The next day be-
ing Sunday, the band was to lay over
in New Orleans. so after the evening
concert Mr.. Brooke left particular in
structions at his hotel that he was not
to be disturbed, except in ease Of fire,
until o'clock the next day. He went
to bed expecting to get a full nights
rest for change, but at about D
o'clock he was awakened by a rapping
on his door Not being in very amia-
BILE mood. Mr. Brooke asked gruftiy:
well, what is itE' Then 4 small,

door replied: Didn't you ring to be

SOME METALS.

Iridium, worth more than $3.50 q
pound, is the hardest metal known and
is used to tip gold pens.
Lithium, worth more than S1,100 a
pound, is used only in medicine, it's
salts being valuable in rheumatic af-
fections.
Tungsten, worth 80 cents pound, is
largely used in matallurgy and gives
to steel qualities similar to those i'm
parted by molybdenum.
Molybdenum, worth $1.44 a pound, is
used in metallurgy. Molybdenum steel
possesses the rare quality of preserv-
ing it's hardness even when heated to
redneSs.
Selenium, which has the curious prop
erty of losing it's resistance to the cleo
trio current under the influence Of
light, is used in the Kaleidoscope and
is worth 500 a pound.
Uranium, worth $50 a pound, is used
in the glass and porcelain industries.
1t has been found that uranium car
bide is superior to nickel or tungsten
in the manufacture of high grade steel.
Palladium, which has the smallest
coefdcient of diIatation, is used for tho
mounting of astronomical Instruments
The standard meter of France is made
of palladium. The pure metal costs
$4.82 a pound.
Vanadium oxidizes in air with great
difficulty, melts at 1900 degrees and
becomes redhot in hydrogen. Neither
hydrochloric acid nor nitric acid at
tacks it. 1t costs 1892 a pound and is
used in coIori1g glass and in making
indelibIe inks.

marriageable girls Of the diffegent
