HOW TYPHOID FRYER COMES ON.

Tax "teamen Etruria and Umbria are the fastest oceanr racers, the former having made an average of twenty-three and the latter of twenty-four miles an hoar, regardless of winds and waves. I* 1880 there were is the Unit-d States 881,867 more males than females, showing pretty conclusively that polygamy. plural marriages, is not only, a violation of the statutes, but in direct conflict with what is sometimes called the "higher law.” Let the troops get under arms and the police reserve sleep nightly at the stations. Let the sheriff and a posse comitatus of 100,000 citizens report that once for duty. The fool killer needed all this help to properly cope with the creature who gett&th some one to cut him a section of gas pipe and forthwith maketh a sawdust bomb. Uvcns Sam would feel highly elated should Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island fall to him in payment for injuries suffered in the fisheries squabble. That is a clever idea and quite worthy of a Boston man, but it will not materialiae. We can name the amount Uncle Bam will receive in round numbers —in very round numbers as the man says in the play. He will be pacified and given 0. ~ r ~. IDiLbmfi'b contradictory statements about the Panama Canal would be amusing if they were not so exasperating. A fortnight sgo he announced that the canal would be opened two vears and three months hence. A week ago this was repeated by his son, who further said that no additional loan would be required. Later dispatches contain the statement that De Lesseps has asked for authority to raise a loan by the issue of lottery bondsi, and—ini stead of the glittering assertion about opening the canal in 1890, he modes*ly says that he is trying to arrange for cutting a "channel” across the Isthmus which will permit traffic of 7,500,000 tons yearly, and the income of which will be used to complete the canal itself. How much longer can this adroit old man succeed in inducing people to throw away their money on his wildcat scheme? ____________ Socialism used force in Chicago and culmin- ed in failuij*, with murder as its agency and the scaffold for its climax. Down on a Mexican sandbank a little band of the faithful plan ted them selves not so very long ago. They would try the new theories, they would be sociable and socialistic, they would hold propertv in common. It would be beautiful. From this ideal and misguided „ settl Jnent of Topolohampo a man walked SCO miles across*Mexico just to get away from its benighted practices and the sufferings of its inhabitants. He reports that about 150 of the 400 who went there last year are dead or returned to the United States. Some months ago a statement similar to the above was pronounced false by the founders of the colony. But since that date other discouraging reports have been circulated. It is evident that the socialists at Topolobampo are not happy.

Symptoms of the Disease That Give Warning. Indianapolis Journal. —----/ - Tt In speaking of precautions that may be taken against typhoid fever a promi nent physican says there is one and only one that is safe, and that is to consult a doctor. More people injure - themselves by self treatment, and especially by taking cathartics, than ever do themselves any good, when they have symptoms of typhoid fever. “A pereon about to be affected with typhoid fever,” says he, “usually complains of a tired feeling, with more or less aching of limbs, and a slight headiiche for a week or ten days before he is compelled to cease work and give the doctor a call. The mind is sluggish, and both mind and body perform their usual work with greater effort and fatigue than is natural. Occasionally there is nose bleed every day or two, or only once or twice, due to a relaxation of the nervous and circulatory systems. The appetite grows poorer and poorer, and there is more often diarrhea than constipation present. A chillness at times, and then flashes of heat, may precede a real fever several days. There may be nausea and vomiting and great dislike for food, 01 again, a person may eat very well for some time after active fever has begun. In some cases a Bevere chill may usher in the disease, a kind of malarial fever following and developing into typhoid or dypho malarial fever, so called. The sleep is not refreshing; it is a dreamy sleep, and often there is more or less talking during sleep. There is a die turbanc<- of the bowels usually, with some soreness and pain over the abdomen. more especially low down on the right side. By the time all or a lew of the above, symptoms are present, a marked thirst, wit.’i pronounced fever has developed, and the man is ready to goto bed and send for a doctor,”. The roses of pleasure seldom last long enough to acorn the brow ofthtgc wh o pluck them.
