PATENT MEDICINES.

| The other day an Eastern medical
assembly discussed patent medicines in
the hope of reaching them with some of
| the inhibitions of the pure food law.
Ever since such remedies came into
| the market, doctors have inveighed
| from a professional standpoint of self
interest. Undeniably the proprietary
cure-alls have cost the medical profess
| sion heavily in fees; and it is equally
| true that many of them have hum
| plugged their purchasers in the bar
gain; though even where the medicines
have been as worthless as the bread
| pills sometimes doled out by highly
paid practitioners, they may have done
good through their effects upon the
| Imagination
The point we wish to make. however,
is that because a remedy is patented
it is not necessarily worthless. Patent
medicines are precisely like physi-
clans in that they are good, bad and
the course of his Investigations finds or
invents a remedy, as Jenner found the
principle of vaccination, he is sorely
tempted to claim the financial benefits
of il for himself. He feels that he has
as much moral right to the money to
be made from it as the inventor of a
sewing machine has to the profits of his
device or as the writer of a book has
to the returns from his copyright
Naturally he hesitates between seIf-in-
terest and his ethical duty to the pro-
fession; and as he turns, his discovery
becomes either a patent medicine,
ia booed as worthless by other doctors
or specific which they freely use in
curing the ills that flesh is heir to.
1t is an imposition on mankind that
any cure should be put on an index
expurgatorious, merely because it does
not seek patients in a prescribed way.
That there are remedies as useful un-
der trademark as any that are with
out it, is fact which common expert
ence proves. The writer could cite
examples if these We're advertising coll
umns; but the general public is com
petent to cite it's own and would re-
sent any attempt to bar such medicines
altogether. The most that could rea-
sonably be done would be to have them
pass the same chemical inspections as
harmful ingredients, in which case
they could be properly put under the
ban of the law

THE CULEBRA TRANSFER.

1t would be interesting to know why
the European squadron of the United
States has been ordered to the West
Indies to maneuver. For such pur-
poses the Mediterranean was at hand
and in that sea the European squadron
has unanswered before. There was
nothing local to keep it from doing so
again. The question arises whether
there is anything in our foreign rela-
lions. apropos of Panama or San Do
mingo. which has made it seem advis-
able to strengthen our already great
fleet in West Indian waters.
It may be that the return of the Eu-
ropean squadron means nothing more
than an exchange of station with the
South Atlantic squadron. In that
event we shall soon hear of vessels
at Culebra and then crossing the At
lantic. Duty on the eastern coast of
South America is always distasteful to
naval officers and it is the custom to
give them a taste of Europe after
wards. The time is up for the officers
of the South Atlantic squadron to ex-
pect a transfer and there seems to be
no good reason why they shouldn't take
their ships with them if they go.

HAWAII A CIVlLIZER.

Ten years ago last month, speahe
at Union Square, on the occasion OF
political anniversary, SAID that Hawai-
: though small, was sure to WELD an in
fuence in the development of the grea1
Chinese empire; that from here would
come ideas of freedom and progress
which might, in time, work remarkable
changes in the ancient system of mis-
rule which existed under the dragon
flag. The speaker believed that the
equitable treatment of Chinese here
was making them better, wiser and
stronger types of their race than are
those brought up in the hostile air of
California: and that from the New
England sympathies and example of
our dominating citizenship they would
| gain a political inspiration of which
| their own land, in time, would receive
| the benefit.
Since then Hawaii has become one of
the acknowledged centers of the reform
| movement by which the dull and fierce
autocracy and stupid conservatism of
China is threatened. Here come the
great leaders of the movement to or
ganize and censpire- From here go
funds to assist those who are still at
work in the field. And now we learn
that the brightest of our educated
young Chinese are to be sent back to
the mother country by the Chinese Re
form Association to put them in touch
with the present conditions of the ems
pire so that they may help. the more
skilfully, to improve its future condi-
tons.
Such youths are already there in
large numbers. Every treaty port and
many interior cities contain them. "A
Honolulu boy is desired in all modern
departments of Chinese activity and
especially by large foreign commercial
houses which require clerks and factors
who have an Eurasian training and
knack of tongues. Every year multi
plies the number so employed. And it
may be taken as matter of course
that wherever these young men go
they will break down some convention !
II Chinese barrier and whatever seeds
hey plant will bear the fruitage of
heir foreign training.
No one can estimate the far-off i'm
'ortance to the Oriental world of what
las been done for Chinese up-building
n these Islands. Isolated though Ha-
vail is it has, like many other small
nd sequestered places in the world,
nobly and memorably in the
istory of its times.

Thermometer Noses.

Although the process Of injecting
parafan under the skin was at first
hailed with delight by persons desir-
ous Of remedying the defective shape
Of their noses, it has now been found
to have its drawbacks, says the Petit
Parisien. At the last meeting Of the
Academy Of Medicine, M. Lagarde
drew attention to some of these.
The least pressure, he stated. was
fatal to the symmetry Of the organs
thus beautified. Parafin is also very
sensitive to heat, and a nose admirably
modelled by the aid of the new process
is as responsive to atmospheric changes
as a thermometer.
More serious is the danger Of blood
poisoning caused by the absorption Of
particles of parafin into the system.
Blood poisoning sometimes ensues, and
the results are frequently very grave.

Sightseeing.


When you take your vacation these
days, what are you going to see? A
young drug clerk Of my acquaintance
has just returned from a trip down
the river by steamer, and he saw
drugs. He failed to mention to me
the fact that he saw some of the finest
views between the Alleghanies and
the Rockies, the moonlight on the river
does not seem to have attracted him
and to have made him feel the SUI
preme joy of just being alive, the
grand hills and valleys of Kentucky
and Ohio seem to have escaped his
view, likewise the beauties of Louis
Vile, it's homes, it's streets, shaded
and cool eve in the hottest days, but
he saw the evil smelling drug stores.
"Why, they + selling-mentioning
a popular patent m~edicine-for 60
cents in Louisville" he told me.

"What do you get for it here"
"We get IS, and it's cut from 81 at
that" he replied MISUNDERSTANDING

Philadelphia Girls Tan.

"There are more ways than one of
acquiring a seashore TAM" said the
park guard as he pointed to a couple
of girls reclining in the grass. They
were lying on their backs in the
scorching sun, minus hats and with
sleeves rolled up above the elbows. At
their side was a bowl, the contents Of
which they occasionally sprinkled over
their faces and arms. "That's the
stay at homes idea Of getting a vaca-
ton sunburn," went on the park guard.
''You know. it's considered very smart
among young girls to get as brown as
gypsies, so they come out here, get
burned almost to a crisp and then put
up a bluff about having been away.
The bowl! Oh, that's filed with salt
water. They sprinkle 1t on themselves
and let it dry, and that is supposed
to help the game. For my part. l don't
see why people want to get sunburned
unless they have to."-Philadelphia

Grass In the Orchard.

Horticulturists and fruit growers
have long known that grasses are inju-
rious to young apple trees, but it seems
that they were wrong in a%ttributing
the injury to interference with the air,
the water and the food supply Of the
trees. Carefully conducted expert
ments and observation at the Wodburn
experimental fruit farm in England
have shown, however, that there is
some direct or indirect product Of
grass growth that has an active poison
GUS effect on the roots of the trees. It
is also suggested that the so called ex-
haustion Of the soil by certain plants,
preventing the subsequent growth of
other plants in the same ground, may
be due really to ONE poisonous prod
uct left by the first plants.

Plan to Spare Nerves, Tempers and
Pockets of Customers.
A philosophic boss barber Of Chicago
has devised a plan which will make
the man who %patronizes barber shops
bow down and call him great. He pro-
poses to equip his shop with mutes.
He has a few mutes now, but good
deaf and dumb BARRIERS are scarce. So
he has advertised for them, says a Chi
cago dispatch.
He says: "Of course the ideal condi-
ton would be to have dumb but not
deaf BARRIERS, SO that the customer
could give his directions without the
customary comment in reply. But If
they must be deaf also 1t would be lit
tie trouble to write shave or hair cut
or massage on a little slate we would
have for the purpose. and then you
would get what you wanted without
being informed that your hair needed
a trim or that you have dandruh and
need a patent wash"

Claims.

The war department is paying old
Confederate claims at a great rate,
says a Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune. Recently congress ap-
p%ropriated $225,O0O for the reimburse
ment Of Confederate soldiers who had
lost their horses or side arms on their
way home after Lees surrender. The
terms offered by General Grant includ-
ed the protection Of the Confederate
soldiers against the loss Of their ami
mails or pistols on their way back to
their homes. Some of the command in
Tennessee and Georgia encountered
northern troops who deprived them Of
their horses and arms. That was In
1866, since which time there has been
an annual effort made to have the
money value Of the property restored
to Lees men. The quartermaster gen.
erals Office has now paid out $151, $780,
20 on account Of these claims, and
there is likely to be a further appro-
priation made next session to continue
the discharge of the obligation. It is
surprising to the authorities that SO
many Of the claimants survive and that
SO few are represented by heirs.

Developing the Boar.

F. d. Spaulding at a meeting Of Kan
sas swine breeders said: Eat weaving
time the boar pigs should be separated
from the gifts and if possible put into
a pasture with plenty of water, shade
and grass. This pasture should be
away from any other lot or pasture
where other hogs run. 1t would be
better to have all the pigs in one lot
than to have them in adjoining pas
lures. By being together they become
acquainted, but if separated by a fence
they will fight through it, become rest
less, stop eating and go to fretting or
roofing. When they get to that state
the only thing to do is to put them into
a small pen, each one separate from
others, where they cannot see or hear
other hogs"

Japanese Scouting With Telephones.
Scouting with the aid Of the tele-
phone has become one of the features
Of modern warfare, and is now being
made use Of by the Japanese" says the
Western Electrician. 1.-TWO scouts pro-
coed from the lines toward the enemy.
One, the observer, is a skilled army
officer, who makes the observations,
which are transmitted back to head
quarters through a telephone line paid
out from a reel carried by an electro
clan Of the signal corps. A ground re-
turn is used, the ground being made by
thrusting a bayonet or Ratchet into the
earth and attaching nj end Of the line
to it. The electrician carries a battery
on his back. He also makes the on
nections and does the talking. A spe-
cial conductor is used, which will stand
rough usage. In this name a scout
may be able to stay out a long time
and give valuable information without
being obliged to make a number of
hazardous trips to the front"

wheat or oats is as good now as ever,
says Rural New Yorker. With a ia
vorable season the cowpeas make a
large growth and a be plowed under
in time for another crop Of grain or
grass seeding. The soil is left in much
better shape than it would be II left in
stubble and weeds. The trouble about
the plan this year is the difficulty in
obtaining cowpea seed. There seems
to be little II any left in the country.
We are thinking Of using white beans
in place Of the peas.
