THE DRAINAGE CANAL.

dishonest druggists.

Question as to Whotjor It Will Injure Navigation on the Lakes.

Lahc Cnm.-rs* Aevoeintlon Making Strong Tight Against I'lilcago’s Dig Ultch—Secretary I.amout to Decide the Matter.

One of the most important matters Secretary Lamont will be called upon to decide during Ins term of office is now pending before the war department. It is the report of the board of engineers appointed to examine and report upon the effect which the Chicago drainage canal, now in course of construction, will have on the waters of the great lakes. Two distinct interests are arrayed against each other in the matter—the people of Chicago on one side and the navigation interests of the lakes on the other. Chicago wants the canal to drain the river of that name, which has for years polluted the city and Lake Michigan for many miles, rendering the water impure and threatening the health of the city. The shipping people contend that, iu furnishing water to drain the city and carry off its sewage, the water level of the lakes will bo lowered from six to twelve inches, but many eminent engineers disagree as to the exact limit the decrease of the water will reach. It is contended that six inches will be the limit. The Lake Carriers’ association is making the greatest fight against the canal. It is said by these representatives that all the harbors on Lake Michigan and Lake Iluron will be lowered, and that vessels with full loads, built for the present depth of harbors, will not be able to enter. It is claimed that Lake Huron will be affected because the Straits of Mackinaw are so broad and deep that the level of one lake is governed by the other. The Canadian engineers aro also making a protest against the canal, and they will try and interest the Canadian government in opposition to it. It is possible that the matter may bo brought to the attention of the state department. Chicago is determined to have the canal, and work upon it has been in progress for some time. It is claimed that in case Secretary Lamont should decide that navigation interests will be injured to such an extent that the department cannot permit the construction of the canal the fight will be carried to congress and a bill presented authorizing the work.

I The code of ethics, idiotic as it is in some of its statements and require1 meats, has at least the merit of demanding professional respectability, and anything like a rake-off on pre- : scriptious is a distinct breach of the 1 strict code of laws laid down for the guidance of the medical profession. The doctors themselves arc practically a unit iu denying that they have nny j business understanding at all with the I drug trade or any members of it. They give as a reason for insisting upon certain druggists being patronized the danger that is incurred from an offense, which in some cases is an actual crime, and which is known among doctors, nurses anfi druggists as “substitution.” i Some physicians, with a view to still further protecting their reputation and their clients’ health, prescribe I special compounds under names and ! signs known only to themselves and i the particular druggists whom they j place confidence. Others, who are of a i less inventive turn of mind, prescribe drugs recognized in the national and international pharmacopoeia, but distinctly decline to assume responsibility for a case if their prescriptions are filled at any drug store which happens to be convenient for the patient or

his nurses.

SOME NUTMEG ALBINOS. A White swallow, a White Eagllth Sparrow anil Some White Cucumbers. Some curious Albinos have been reported lately in the Nutmeg state, says the New York Sun. At Wallingford a small boy had noted for several days an odd-looking bird, as white as milk, skimming about the shady streets in company with a flock of swallows. Now the lad, who is an expert stone thrower. wanted that beautiful white bird, both because it was an oddity’ and because It was difficult to wing with a pebble. Tha other night he skillfully dropped the scudding bird with a missile. The snowy little fellow proved to be a genuine chimney swallow, perfect In every way, and the purest Albino specimen ever taken in the state, perhaps. In North Stonington a farmer killed an English sparrow that was entirely and uniformly white, except that its bill and slender legs and toas were of a clear, transparent pink. Norris E. Hamilton, of Danbury, has Albino cucumbers. Last spring he bought some seed from a Philadelphia house and planted it in four hills. The seed sprouted very quickly and the vines it produced were unusually thrifty, vigorous and healthy looking. Presently they were thickly set with tender cucumbers, and Mr. Hamilton was surprised to find that each one was as white as milk. They are good, though, of good size, as crisp and well flavored as the best fruit of the kind in the world. When the cucumbers are first set they are cream colored, but the color changes in a few days to a chalky hue, and when they are fit for the table they are as white, nearly, as snow. They are at no time green in color. FIFTEEN HOURS UNDER WATER. Grew of a Now French Boat Will Perform n Novel Feat. A submarine boat lias just been built at Paris for the lirazilian government, the hull of which has been fashioned in throe distinct castings qf gun bronze. The water-diving craft Is shaped like a cigar, true to the Jules Verne prediction in “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” Experiments with these boats have proved conclusively that they are habitable by a crew. The supply of fresh air on the boat is renewed from reservoir tubes of oxygen and the vitiated air Is forced downward Into the sea by pumps, which work automatically. The crew will consist of an officer and two men, who can without difficulty remain under water for fifteen hours. The boat is fitted with an electric motor of two-horse power, which will enable her to make eight knots an hour. She is also furnished with oars, similar in shape to a duck’s foot, by means of which she can be rowed in any direction in case of accident to her machinery. The absolute security of those on board is insured by a safety weight of twelve hundred kilogrammes fastened under her keel, the unscrewing of which will cause the boat to rise to the surface of the water like a eork. She can be made to sink to any depth or to rise by taking iu water ballast from the sea or expelling the same and will always remain parallel with the surface The usual depth to which “he 1 is regulated to sink is about four mo- , ires. She can be steered either by her screw or her rudder. A vertical tele- | scope enables (hose on board to take their bearings. Self-Propelllnc. I A self-propelling bicycle is a Swedish Invention.

BELL RINGING CHAMPION. A Young Man Captures Rrussels by lilt IteRutiful Cliimc*. A curious incident is reported from Brussels. The position of bell-ringer was left vacant by the death of the last incumbent, and eight applicants contested in open competition for tiie place. An immense crowd lined the place in front of the city hall, and the windows and balconies of all the houses surrounding the square were crowded. The city fathers and their families, members of the press and the jury had reserved places on the roof of the city hall. Of the sixteen original applicants, nine had backed out, but in the eleventh hour a new candidate announced his intention to compete, the bell-ringer from the city of Alost, a rather young man by the name of De Mette. On the Maison du Roi, upon the tower of which the chimes arc located, the number of each competitor was fastened on the large balcony so that everybody could see who was playing. The two first competitors played rather indifferently, while the third had much success with his rendition of the “Marseillaise” and “God Save the Queen." The next competitors played local airs, the “Blue Danube Waltz,” "Tarara-boom-de-aye” and similar popular tunes, but did not make much of an impression. The last candidate began with a powerful and excellently performed prelude, changing into variations on airs from “The Daughter of the Regiment,” and finishing with a popular lively air. His play seemed to act like magic, and enthusiastic applause swept over the entire market square. The people had proclaimed their choice, and the jury immediately ratified the popular selection. From the balcony of the city hall the victory of number eight, the Alost bell-ringer, was announced, and he was nominated for life for the position, paying him three thousand six hundred francs a year. After the decision De Mette was carried on the arms of many admirers from the Maison du Roi to the city hall across the square, and received there an enthusiastic ovation from the hands of the assembled citizens of Brussels. A New Fabric. Referring to “gelsoline,” the new fabric or material prepared from the fiber of the bark of the mulberry tree without the intervention of the silk worm, a technical journal remarks upon the singular fact of there being three absolutely distinct fibers procurable from or p"cuiki r to that tree. Thus, In addition to the ordinary silk, a strong and thick fiber for certain purposes is obtained by killing the silk worm and drawing the thread out of its inside; iu the preparation of the gelsoline the bark is rotted and the fiber treated after the mannerof flaxand after purification with soap and soda is ready for the weaving shed—some works in Italy, as appears, already producing thousands of yards of the woven fabric for upholstery purposes. This new material Is said to be ten times as stong as middling Orleans cotton and is obtainable at one-tenth the price of flax; being perfectly round, the fiber insures a close fabric.

his power must be prolonged. As to what extent, no one could learn his wishes; whatever recompense the great | powers of the state chose to bestow lie would accept. In vain were all attempts to sound the depths of his desires. The crowning honor must bo forced upon him. But his friends were I not astute, and even the sympathetic senate failed to apprehend what would j be considered Its duty. The programme laid down was consequently of petty

dimensions.

When the treaty was laid before the tribunes their president proposed that some striking mark of national gratitude should be bestowed on Gen. Bonaparte, first consul. There had been, in private conversation, a question of presenting him with the Castle of St. Cloud, the royal residence nearest to I’aris; but he declared that he would accept nothing from the people during his term of office, and the proposition was dropped. The resolution offered to the tribunes meant, however, something of the same sort. It was adopted, and a committee of conference at once carried it to the senate in order that “the first assembly of the nation should interpret a general sentiment” which the tribunes could only express. With a dexterity acquired by habit tbo complaisant senate made ready to formulate a decree. Both the prolongation for life of the consulate and making the office hereditary were proposed as fitting testimonials. Protending to believe that the first consul’s public virtue would repulse anything so radical, the majority rejected these suggestions and prolonged the term of his office for ton years. When he saw himself thus overreached by his own tools, the reticent chief magistrate was boundless in his rage, and displayed a dangerous passion. But he soon mastered himself, and received the senators

with formal thanks.

That night there was a council of the family, with many confidential friends, in which either Lucien or the “wise Cainbacercs" suggested an appeal to the nation. Next day (199 Floreal) the first consul appeared before the senate and declared that his respect for the sovereignty of the people would not pe-mit him to accept the prolongation of hLs magistracy without the authorization of the nation, and proposed to ask for a plebiscite on the question: Shall Napoleou Bonaparte be consul for life? Roederer wished to add: “And have the right to name his successor," but the general declared that that would be an encroachment on popular rights, and struck out the words. Three months elapsed before the returns were complete. In the interval both tribunate and senate hastened to vote in favor of both the measure and its object. Congratulation as to the foregone conclusions soon began to reach the Tuileries from all quarters. It was in this interval, moreover, that the two servile bodies finally stamped with their approval the measures which reestablished the slave trade, even though nothing decisive had as yet occurred at Nan Domingo. It is impossible to analyze the motives of men representing a country the most enlightened of the continent in formally approving such public baseness.

THE PENN TREATY ELM.

Poland TDlrs.

Women in «eareh of titles might do well to go to Poland. It is said that in Warsaw alone, with a population of 500,000, there are 30,720 persons belonging to the hereditary nobility and 9,257 "personal nobles,” people entitled to the distinction by reason of office or discovery. There are said lo be as many princes In Poland as in Russia.

To Survive in a Lineal Descendant IMantod on the Hpot. Chief Eisenhower of the bureau of city property lately planted iu the Penn Treaty park, says the Philadelphia Press, a large shoot from the original eim tree under which William Venn made his treaty with the Indians in 1682. The shoot was sent to Mr. Eisenhower by Gen. Paul A. Oliver, of Laurel Bun, Wilkesbarre, and was planted in the exact spot where its historical ancestor flourished for so many generations. The treaty el a stood on the property of Gen. Oliver's grandfather, Matthew Van Dusen, which has been converted into the treaty park. When the tree was blown down in March, 1810, Washington Van Dusen dug up one of the few suckers that was growing from the roots and planted it on Gen. Olive-'s father's place at Fort Hamilton, N. Y. The young tree grew to an enormous size until 1892, when Gen. Oliver had it dug up and carefully removed to his home in Laurel Run. It was so large that throe railroad cars were required to carry it, and when the railroad company’s officials learned the history of the tree (hey refused to charge for its transportation. When the tree was transplanted to Laurel Run it continued to grow-, until now its branches cover an area of many square yards. About a year ago a sucker appeared from the root of the tree, and when it was about four feet high Gen. Oliver dug it up and shipped it to this city to take the place of the original treaty elm.

Killed and Wounded In Battle.

Twenty-five years ago the great battles of the Franco-German war were

In the latter country they are found fought. That war of only 180 days cost

nlying every trade. According to the last census there are now living nearly 1,000 Princes and Princesses Ualitzln. There are hardly sufficient names In Russia to distinguish them, and great ■

confusion results.

Germany, iu dead and maimed, 8,055 of fleers and 110,701 men. It appears almost incredible now that within a few months 21,508 French officers and 702,048 French soldiers were made prison-

ers or compelled to disgrin.

Home VenoraouK Quarrels Maintained by Families for Generations. “That Wyoming feud, which the press dispatches say lasted ten years, was a mere child compared with the affairs where I come from,” said the Kentucky colonel to the Milwaukee Journal man. “I’ve heard of some quarrels which have been carried on since 1830. and it is nothing out of the common fora man to be killed because some forty years ago there was a dispute about a calf. The Turner feud, as it was called, began in southwest Tennessee long before the civil war and ended about two years ago, when the last member of each side killed the other. The Turners were two young brothers, both married, who lived on the same farm. Next door was a neighbor who had six children. One day the children of the two families quarreled and one of the Turners interfered. The neighbor's children told their father that one of the Turners struck them. The father rebuked Turner and there was a tight. Turnur was bested. His brother came to his rescue and the next day both families engaged in a general fight. One of each side was killed. The remaining Turners then moved to another farm. "There was but one school iu the neighborhood and the children of both families attended. Day- after day they’ fought. One day one of the Turner children returned home from school badly- hurt. The child's father avenged the injury’ by punishing one of the children of his enemy. Another general fight ensued, in which the grown male members of both families were killed. This stopped the feud until the boys grew up. In the meantime both factions removed to Texas, the Turners first. They renewed the fight there and two members of the other family were killed. A year later one of the Turners was killed. Two members of both factions now remained. One Christmas eve both the Turners were found murdered in their homes. Their bodies were sent to relatives in Tennessee, who removed to the Turner homestead in Texas. A month later one of these Turners was assassinated while riding horseback through the country. A few W’eeks later a member of the opposing family’ was mysteriously murdered. Then there was but one member of each family still alive. Christmas two years ago they met near their old Tennessee homes and in a duel which folio wed both were killed. Thus the feud was ended, but not until both families had been wiped off the earth.” clever detective work.

Proved a Perjuror by an Oculist Who Knew Ills BuHlness. Here is an interesting account of a very clever bit of detective work by an oculist, according to the Illustrated Medical Journal. It appears that in a large factory in which were employed several hundred persons one of the workmen, in wielding his hammer carelessly, allowed it to slip from his hand. It flew half-way across the room and struck a fellow workingman iu the left eye. The man averred that Jiis sight was blinded by the blow, although a careful examination failed to reveal any injury, there being not a scratch visible. He brought suits in tiie courts for compensation for the loss of his eyesight, and refused all offers of compromise. Under the law the owner of the factory’ was responsible for an injury resulting from an accident of this kind, and although he believed that the man was shamming and that the whole ease was an attempt at swindling, ho had about made up his mind that he would be compelled to pay the claim. The day of the trial arrived, and in open court an eminent oculist, retained foi the defense, examined the alleged injured member and gave it as his opinion that it was as good as the right eye. Upon the plaintiff's loud protest of his inability to see with the left ey-e, the oculist proved him a perjurer and satisfied the court and jury of the falsity of

his claim.

And how do you suppose he did it? Why, simply by knowing that the colors green and red combined made black. He procured a black card on which a few words were written in green ink. Then the plaintiff Was ordered to put on a pair of spectacles with two different glasses, the one for the right eye being red and the one for the left eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was handed him and he was [ ordered to read the writing on it. This j he did without hesitation and the cheat was exposed. The sound right eye, fitted with red glass, was unable to distinguish the green writing on the black surface of the card, while the left eye, which he pretended was sightless, was the one with which the reading | had to be done.

BUDS, Society! buds, young women just entering the doors of society or woman- ii hood, require the J 1 wisest care. To be beautiful and charming they must have perfect health, with all it implies — a clear skin, rosy cheeks, bright eyes and * good spirits. At j this period the ; young woman is especially sensi- f live, and many nervous troubles, j which continue i through life, have J their origin at thisy* time. If there be® pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis- j turbances. or the general health not good, w the judicious use of medicine should be ^ employed. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best restorative tonic and nervine at this time. The best bodily condition results from its use. It’s a remedy specially indicated for those delicate weaknesses and derangements that afflict womenkind at one period or another. You’ll find that the woman who has faithfully used the “Prescription’’ is the picture of health, she /w&s well and she feels well. In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic displace m il ls common to women, where there are symptoms of backache, dizziness or fainting, bearing down sensations, disordered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc., the trouble is surely dispelled and the sufferer brought back to health and good spirits.

•• WOMAN’S ILLS.” Mrs. W. R. Bates, of Dilworth, Trumbull Co. Ohio, writes : "A few years ago I f took Doctor Pierce’s^ Favorite Prescription, which has been a great benefit to me. I am in excellent health now. I hope that every woman, who is troubled with 'women's ills,’ will try the ' Prescription ’ and be benefited as I have been."
