Whither Are We Drifting?

Without wishing to alarm the American people, or create a panic, writes Bill Nye, in the New York World, I desire briefly and seriously to discuss the great question, “Whither are we drifting” and what is to be the condition of the coming man ? We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that mankind is passing through a great era of change; even womankind is not built as she was a few brief years ago. And is it not time, fellow-citizens, that we paused to consider what is to be the future of the American ? Food itself has been the subject of change both in the matter of material and preparation. This must atiect the consumer in such a way as to some day bring about great changes. Take, tor instance, the oyster, one of our comparatively modern food and game fishes, and watch the effects of science upon Him. At one time the oyster browsed around and ate what he could find in Neptune’s back-yard, and we had to take him as we found him. Now we take a herd of oysters off the trail, all run down, and feed them artificially till they swell up to a fancy size and bring a fancy price. Now, where will all this lead at last ? I ask as a careful scientist. Instead of eating apples as Adam did, we work the fruit up into applejack and pie, while even the simple oyster is perverted, and instead of allowing him to fatten up in the fall on acorns and ancient mariners, flesh is artificially put on his bones by the artificial osmose and dialysis of our advanced civilization. How can you make an oyster stout * or train him down by making him jerk a health-lift so many hours every day, or cultivate his body at the expense of his mind, without ultimately not only impairing the future usefulness of the oyster himself, but at the same time affecting the future of the human race ? I only use the oyster as an illustration, and I do not wish to cause alarm, but I say that if we stimulate the oyster artificially and swell him up by scientific means, we not only do so at the expense of his better nature and keep him away from his family, but we are making our mark on the future race of men. Oyster-fattening is now, of course, in its infancy. Only a few years ago an effort was made to fatten cove oysters at St. Louis while in the can, but the system was not well understood, and those who had it in charge only succeeded in making the can itself more plump. But now oysters are kept on ground feed and given nothing to do for a few weeks, and even the older and overworked, swaybacked, • and rickety oysters of th » dim and murky past are made to fill out, and many of them have to put a gore in the waistband of their shells. I speak only of the oyster incidentally as one of the objects toward which science has turned its attention, and I assert with the utmost confidence that the time will come, unless science should get a setback, when the present hunting-case oyster will give place to the open-faced oyster, grafted on the octopus and big enough to feed a hotel. Further than that, the oyster of the future will carry in a hip-pocket a flask of vinegar, half a dozen lemons, and two little Japanese bottles, one of which will contain salt and the other pepper, and there will be some way provided by which you can tell which is which. But are we improving the oyster now? That is a question we may well ask ourselves. Is this a healthy fat which we are putting on him, or is it bloat? And what will be the result in the home life of the oyster ? We take him from all home influences, whatever, in order to make a swell of him by our modern methods, but do we improve his condition morally, and what is to be the great final result on man ? The reader will see by the questions I ask that lam a true scientist. Give me an overcoat pocket full of lowercase interrogation marks and a medical report to run to, and I can speak on the matter of science and advancement till Reason totters on her throne. But food and oysters do not alone affect the great, pregnant future.

A Japanese Genesis.

In the beginning all things were in chaos. Heaven and earth were not separated. The world floated in the cosmic mass like a fish in the water, or the yelk in an egg. The ethereal matter sublimed and formed the heavens, while the residuum formed the ■present earth, from the mold of which agerm sprouted and became a selfanimate being, from which sprang all the gods. On the floating bridge of Heaven appeared a man and woman of celestial origin. The male plunged a jeweled spear into the unstable waters beneath them, and withdrawing it, the trickling drops formed an island upon which they descended. The creative pair, divine man and woman, designing to make this island the pillar for a continent;, separated, the male to the left, the female to the right, to make a journey around the island. When they met the woman spoke first, saying, “How joyful to meet a lovely man 1” The man, offended that the first use ot the tongue had been by a woman, demanded that the journey be repeated, after which he cried out exultingly, “How joyful to meet a lovely woman!” Thus ensued the proper subjection; and this, according to the ancient idea of Japan, was the origin of the human race and the art of love.— Overland Monthly. An estimate places the number of people supported by the forms of em- j ployment growing out of the use of electricity at five millions. 1

SOMETHING WORTH READING.

Extract from the New York World—A Moat Wonderful Remedy, “New Yobe, March 23, 1888. “T hire been a sufferer from rerronsness and nervous prostration for years, snd have tried many ttungs, but without the least good. Hearing so tuucn about Dr. Greene s Nervura 2serve Tome from my tneuda and othrn whom it cured, I at last decided to taae it. Ito effects are really almost magical, fur it immediate y takes away that nervous, restless, and weak feeling or sense ot exhaustion, and restores one to a perfect condition of health. It is a great boon and a wonderful blessing to nervous people. "Lucie Wmxi." This wonderful remedy, whose praise is upon everybody’s lips, must be the most marvelous in its curative powers of any remedy ever discovered. We hear every day of remarkable cures of nervousness, nervous weakness, exhaustion, paralysis, or other nervous diseases effected by this great nerve tonic and restorative. Here a person rescued from the grave, as was Mrs. Annie Donovan, of Attawaugan, Conn.; there a case saved from that terrible disease, insanity, as was Mt. W. C. Miles, of 40 B.ne Hill avenue, Boston, Mass.; again, cures of paralysis of years’ standing, like that of Mr. Alexander Horn, of the Marine Asylum, Philadelphia, Pa, who had not been able to walk before for years; or restoration from the severest neuralgia and rheumatism, like the case of Mr. James Bown, of 27 Market street. New York City. Cures of sleeplessness, with nervous and physical exhaustion, are very frequent, the wonderful cure of Mrs. W. F. Abbe, of 19 Affleck street, Hartford, Conn., being only one among thousands. Altogether, the remarkable powers of Dr. Greene’s Nervura Nerve Tonic in curing all forms of nervous diseases like the above, and restoring to health sufferers from nervousness, nervous weakness, nervous debility, despondency, depression of mind, headache, trembling, numbness, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, the opium or chloral habit, eta, have demonstrated it to be a remedy of wonderful •powers, and at times of almost miraculous effects in curing disease. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that drug stores everywhere are overwhelmed with orders for tliis remarkable remedy, and it is almost impossible to supply the demands from the hundreds of thousands of sufferers from nervous diseases. All druggists keep the remedy at 81 per bottle, and its low price places it’ within the reach of all. If your druggist does not have it, he will get it for you.
