Too Much Swearing.

From the New York Times.
Some people who took the trouble to read
the oath of office administered to the newly
elected senators at the opening of the ex-
traordinary session must have been struck
by the contrast between the solemn Ian
guage prescribed by the statute and the
reputation which some of the senators have
managed to acquire In the matter OF fidel-
ity in the discharge Of the duties OF the
office The Constitution requires that each
member Of either house of Congress shall
take an oath to support the Constitution.
but 1t goes no further. This was expanded
to include support and defense against "all
enemies, domestic and foreign" in 1858, at
the close Of the war for the Union, and the
clause was inserted as to mental reserva-
ton or purpose Of evasion. 1t was natural
enough at the time. but we do not suppose
that any one has ever changed his con-
duct in consequence Of taking the oath.
This Is one OF many instances in which
the ampliication and multiplication Of oaths
tend rather to diminish than to enforce the
sense Of obligation assumed. In such swear
ing familiarity unquestionably does help to
breed contempt. The lawyer who would
make an affidavit to a statement OF fact,
but would not bet on its accuracy, is the
traditional example Of the working Of this
'well-known rule. It Is hardly practicable to

Of Friends and refrain from all swearing,
but the nearer we can come to 1t the less

War Against tuberculosis.
rom the Paris messenger.

From the Parls messenger.
The Presse publishes an interview with
DR.. Albert Robin, the discoverer of a
method Of treating tuberculosis by formic
acid. DR.. Robin combats energeticaliy
some of the accepted theories with regard
to the treatment Of the disease in question.
Sanatorfa he regards as almost worse than
useless. While the open air treatment is
scientific enough. the excessive feeding and
complete rest there resorted TO he declares
to be an absolute mistake So far as the
open air is concerned, that can be obtained
almost anywhere-as well in the suburbs of
Paris as in the famous resorts to which
patients are sent from all parts of the
world. He states his case thus:
An the discoveries which l have just
made go TO emphasize the fact, which DOM
mates all pathology, that the living organ
isms defend themselves against microbic
invasion with formic acid, which is con
tinually produced in all parts of the body,
oxygen. Thus. when we breathe suffi-
cient quantity of oxygen we are antiseptic.
If we do not, the remoter organs no longer
produce forinic acid, and become in conse-
quence contaminated. The open air treat
ment is therefore justified. But how does
this principle affect the case as to fatten-
ing tubercufous subjects? The more tissue
err Is the area exposed to the attack of dis
ease. Yen the oxygenation is feeble. and
the existence OF tuberculosis implies neces-
sarily that 1t Is, the first object should be
to render the organs antiEeptie by tho

Whence Comes "Kensington."

From the London Chronicle
4, The legend which forms the plot of the
new Savoy opera recalls one of several
fictitious derivations for the name Ken
sington. This particular one. ascrib:ng Its
origin to Kenna, the daughter of Oberon
formed the subject Of a poem by Tickeli
so long ago as in the eighteenth century,
though 1t was clearly not meant by him
to be taken seriously. 1t is more remark
able that Leigh Hunt and other antiquar1es
including even Peter Cunningham, should
have derived Kensington from Kyning's or
Kings Town. by analogy to Kensington
and Kingston; for, although there We're
undoubtedly royal palaces in both these
latter places, Kensington never became
kings residence until William Ills time,
long after It's name was established The
most scholarly and the more probable de-
rivation is that given by Mr.. Loftse, who
calls 1t a. corruption of Kensings' Town
the Saxon tribe of Kensingas having been
known to occupy a tract of land lying be-
tween the Reading and Uxbridge roads.
The fact that in Domesday Book the word
was spelt "Chenesitun" suggested the wild
idea to Leigh Hunt that it came from the
old French chesne, meaning oak, and the
old French chastain or chestnut, on &C
count Of the abundance of these trees in
Kensington gardens!

Delving in the Rubbish Heaps.

1.-The rubbish heaps in the streets of New
York support thousands of families, who
dig and delve in them from one days end
to another" said II. j. Jackson to Star
man at the New Willard this morning.
1.-The privilege of sorting the rubbish at all
of the big dumps is sold to a contractor,
and brings in revenue equal to the salary
of the President of the United States. He
subjects the privileges and without doing
any work at allsreaps a handsome income
from the business. for business 1t has
grown to be- For instance. paper makers
buy much Of the refuse. and other lines of
business buy such stuff as Is available for
working over Often the rubbish pickers
find things OF value. pieces of jewelry, sill
yer ware. and the like. which they keep,
and thus reap . heavy profit o. their In
yestment."

True Blue.
From the Lady,

From the Lady.
There are all sorts Of quaint sayings ana
curious forms of expression In common
and even daily use among us which we are
all so accustomed to hear that they scarcely
even strike us as being strange, and from
whence they have been derived or from
what arisen very few people have the least
Idea.
The expression 'true blue" which we
hear so often. has not even an English par
entage. but is said to have been a Spanish
saying. which meant that the blood that
filled the veins of the aristocracy OF Spain
was blue In color. while that of inferior
mortals was more or less black, and the
proverb that true blue will never STAIN"
instead of meaning, as dt IL generally sup
posed. that "a noble heart will never dis
grace ITSELF, actually refers to the blue
aprons" worn by butchers on account Of
their not showing blood stains-a far jump
this from the blue blood of the naughty
Spanish aristocrat to the humble apron or
the butchers boy. quaint saying that
country folk. especially, often make use of
when speaking OF person who is not very
well or strong Is, "Oh. he Cor she) enjoys
very poor health This sounds to most
people decidedly contradictory statement.
for 1t Is difficult to think that any one can
really enjoy Ill health, and yet there is
substratum of truth in the words, for there
are both men and women to whom 1t ap-
pears to be an actual pleasure to talk about
their ailments, real or imaginary.

ABOUT THE CLAM.
Some sapient Observations Of Interest
In Rhode Island.

From the New York Sun.
The common soft-sheu clam has In its
neck two parallel tubes. whose openings are
side by side at the neck's end. Through
one of these tubes the clam takes in, along
with the water In which it Is contained, the
food upon which it subsists; by the other
tube it expels the waste water after the
food has been taken from it.
At the other end from its neck the soft
clam has member called a foot, with
which it is enabled to dig In the sand or
mud in which 1t buries itself. The soft
clam may go down some distance and yet
keep connection with the bottom of the wa
ter, at the surface of the mud or sand, for
The soft-Shel1 clans seen in market, while
few of them might have their necks some
what extended, would commonly have them
drawn completely within their shells; but
the soft clam can put O t its neck to three
or four times the length of its own shell.
So a clam three or four inches long that
had buried itself a foot down in the mud
might still be able to keep actual connec-
ton with its source of food supply In the
water at the muds surface.
Plenty Of people walking at low tide along

Drs. Dozier & Go. not only claim to cure Consumption, Cancer, Rheumatism, and all forms of chronic Nervous, Blood Skin, Rectal and Genito Urinary Diseases but can substantate their claims by the I testimony of hundreds of men and wo- men cured at their hands.
 By the Multipex System, which they were the first in the south to inaugurate, they have demonstrated that Electricity, Massage Electric and Mechanical Vibra- i tions and Nebulized Medications and Ozone Inhalations, Dry Hot Air, Medi- cated Vapors, and the Finsen Methods of using the Violet and Arc Lights and i other modern modes and scientific thera- i peutc agents can be employed to won ] derful advantage in the cure of diseases, l particularly those of stubborn, chronic character.
 By the Multiplex System, Is meant the use Of each and every agency that can be employed to advantage in every particu- lar case, not relying on anything or on medicines alone, but giving each and every patient the benefit of whatever science has made possible for their re- storation to health
 To do this. they have. at great expense,

 They make no charge for consultations, and their charges are never considered too high by their patrons. Both Drs. o. r.
