Injnstioo Corrected. OOKVINCINO VEniVIOATION OF WIDKOABT rUBI.IO STATEMENTS To THE ReaDEIH 01? THE CoLU.MIHAN. In common with ninny pubtishcra and editors, we hnvo been nccuetotncil to look upon certain ttfUnnicnts which wo have Recti In our columns as merely adroit advertising. Consequently wo feel justified In taking tlio libctty of printing a fow points from a private- letter recently received from ono of ottr largest pat rons, as a sort of oonfossion of faith to our readers. Wo quote : "Wo havo convinced ourselves that by telling what wo know to bo true, wo havo produced at last a permanent conviction in tho publio mind. Seven years ago we stated what tho national diseaso of this country was, and that it was vapidly increasing. Tbrro years ago wo stated that a marked check had been given It. "Tho statistics of ono of tho largest life insurances companies nt this country shows.thut in 1883 and 1884, tho mor tality from kidney disorders did not increase over tho provious years ; other companies stated tho same thine, it is not presumptuous for us to claim credit incheckina these ravages. "Soven years ago wo stated that tho conditiun ot tho kidneys was tho key to tho condition of health ; within the past five years all carej'ul lij'e insur ance companies havo conceded the truth ot this statement, for whereas, ten years ago, chemical analysis to de termine tho condition of tho kidneys was not required, to-day millions of dollars inrisks are refused, because chemical examination discovers unsu3 pected diseases of tho kidney. "Sevon years ago we stated that tho ravages of Bright's Diseases wero in significant compared with other unsus peeled disorders of tho kidneys of many misleading names ; that ninety- tnreo per cent, ol human ailments are attributed to deranged kidneys, which fills tho blood with uric acid, or kid ney poison, wuich causes theso many fatal diseases. "The urio acid, or kidney poison, is tho real cause of tho majority of cases of paralysis, aooplexv, heart disease, convulsions, pneumonia, consumption, snd insanity j oyer half tho victims of consumption aro first tho victims of diseased kidneys. "When tho recent death of an hon ored ex-official of tho United States was announced, his physician said that although he was suffcrinc; from Brinht's Disease, that was not the cause of death. He was not frank enough to admit that tho apoplexy which over took him in his bed, was tho fatal effect of the kidney poison in tho blood. which had eaten awav tho substance of tho aiteries and brain : nor was Lo gan's physician honest enough to state that his ratal rheumatism was caused by kidney acid in the blood. "If tho doctors would state in official reports tho original causo of death, the people of this country would bo alarmed, yea, nearly panic stricken, at the ieariul mortality irom kidney dis orders." The writers of tho above letter give these facts to the publio simply tt justify the claims that they have made that "if the kidneys and liver aro kept in a healthy condition bv tho use of Warner's safe cure, which hundreds of thousands have proved to be a specific, when all other remedies failed, and that has received the endorsement of tho highest medical talent in Europe Australasia and America, many a lite would bo prolonged and the happiness of tho people preserved, it is bucccss ful with so many different diseases bo cause it and it alone, can removo the urio acid from tho blood through the kidneys. Our readers aio familiar with the preparation named. Commendation thereof has often ap peared in our columns. Wo beliovo it to bo one of tho best if not tho best ever manufactured. Wo know the proprietors are iten of char acter and influence. We aro certain they have awakened a wide-spread interest in tho publio mind concerning tho importance of the kidneys. Wo believe with them that tboy aro tho key to health, and that for their restoration from disease and maintenance in health, there is nothing equal to this great remedy. The proprietors say they "do not glory in this universal prevalence of disease, but having started out with tho purpose of spreading tho merits of Warner s sale cure ueloro tho world, because it cured our senior proprietor, who was given up bu doctors as incur able, wo feel it our duty to stato tho facts and leave the publio to ita own interences. We point to our claims, and to their public and universal veri Jlcation with pride, and if tho publio does not behevo what wo say, we tell them to ask their friends and neighbors what they think about our prepara tions. ' As Btated above, wo most cordially commond the persual of tins correspon dence by our readers, believing that in so doiiig, wo aro fulfilling a simple publio obligation. Tho Stato Supremo Court has lately decided a liquor caso from Washington county iiy making two interesting rul ings, ono against and the other favor able to the liquor interest. Tho licens ing of a wholesale house was at issue- About seven hundred voters signed the petition for tho license, and some two thousand persons the remonstrauco against it, including both men and women. Judge Hart granted the licenso on the ground that the reasons urged by tho remonstrants wero such as should bo addressed rather to tho Legislature than tho Court, md for tho additional reason that more than half these voters In tho vicinity asked that the liconso bo granted. Tho bu prerae Court confirmed tho granting of the license, holding that tho remon titrauccs as well as the additional pcti tiou must bo special not general that is, lor or against a single appli cation ; otherwise u may bo disregard ed. Lint it decided that the act docs not require that either the petitioners or remonstrants should be voters and that it is enough that ihoy bo citizens, whether male or female j and it is a mistake to pass over women and count only voter?. ".Most editors aro cranks, aren't they ,Charley !" aked young Mrs. Slonboy. 'The papers are so full of the queemt crinks and wrinkles." "What papeis, darling?" said Charley. ."Curl papers," calmly teplled Mrs. Slowboy, as Iur 'husband Jay fainting on tho floor. They roused him to consciousness, but tho vacant slnre in his lusterus eyes told them that he knew lie Sad mar lied a female paragrapher. The man who can describo accurate ly to his wlfo what a lady has on must have served an apprenticeship to (he dry goods business. THE COLUMBIAN AND February. Tho month of February in al lati tudes in the Uoitod Sla'.es is uncertain. Tho birth of Georgi Wnshtngton In It has not raised it in publio cstem. In tho North, It Is a mouth to lleo from in tho south, nt best It is a waiting month a mouth of rain nn"d flekle sklcx. A g;od deal has been dono for it. It Is the month of St. Valentine, it is distinguished by tho leap-year ad- lition of a day, and ought to do a favorite of tho gcntlo sex t but It re mains a sort of oil period in tho year Its brovity recommends it, nut tno Drawer would take no notlco of it were it not for its effect upon oharnuttr. A month ot rigid weather is supposed to braeo up tho moral nature and a month of gentleness is supposed to soften tho asperities of tho disposition, but February contributes to neither of these ends. It is neither a tonic nor a soother j that is, in most parts of our inexplicable land, wo make no com plaint of this. It is probably woll to havo n period in tho year that tests character to tho utmost, and tho per- boh who can enter spring through tho gate of February a bolter man or wo man is likely to adorn society the rest of the year. February, however, is merely an lllustintiou of tho effect of weather up on tho disposition. Persons differ in regard to their sensitiveness to cloudy, v.... i ..i j nr. rain v, aim yiuuwy uayr. u icuuy nizo'this in a general way, but tho re lation of temper and disposition to tho weather has never been scientifically studied. Our observation of tho in fluenco of climate is mostly with regard to physical infirmities. Wo know the effect of damp weather upon rheuma tic, and of the east wind upon gouty subiects. but too little- allowance is made for the influence of weather upon tho smnts and the conduct of men, Wo know that along period ot gloomy weather leads to suicides, aud wo ob servo that long-continued clouds and rain beget "crossness" and ill-temper, aud we aro all familiar with tho uui versal exhilaration of sunshine and clear air unon anv oomoanv of men and women. But tho point the Draw er wishes to make is that neither so ciety nor tho law makes any allowance for tho aberrations ot human naturo caused by dull and unpleasant weath or. And this is very singular in this humanitarian age, when excuso is found for nearly every moral delin quency in heredity or environment, that tho greatest factor of discontent and crookedness, tho weather, should bo left out of consideration altogether, The relation of crime to tho tompera- tare and tho humidity of tho atmos phere is not taken into account. "Vet crime and eccentricity of conduct are much the result ot atmospheno condi tions, sinco they depend upon tho tern per and the spirit of the communily. Many peoplo aro habitually bluo and down-hearted in sour weather ; a long spell of cloudy, damp, cld weather depresses everybody, lowers hope, tcuds to melancholy ; nod people when they are not cheerful are more apt to fall into evil ways, as a rule, than when they aro in a normal stato ot good humor. And aside from crimes, the vexation, the friction, tho domestio discontent in life, are provoked by bad weather. Wo should like to have some statistics as to incompatibility between married couples produced by damp and raw days, and to know whether divorces are more numerous in the States that suffer from a fickle climate than in those where the climato is moro equable. It is true that in the Sandwich Islands and in Egypt there is greater meutal serenity, less perturbation of spirit, less worry, than in the changeable United States, Something of this placidity and resig- nation to tho ills inevitable in human life is due to an even climate, to tho constant sun and the dry air. We cannot hopu to prevent crime and suf- lering oy statistics, any more than we have been able to improve our climate (which is rather worso now than bo- fore tho scientists took it in charge) by observations and telegraphic reports"; but wo can, by careful tabulation of the effect of bad weather upon the spirits of a community, learn what places in tho Union are favorablo to tho production of cheerfulness and an equal mini. And wo should lift a load of reprobation from some places which now havo a reputation for surli ness und unamiability. We find the people of ono place hospitable, light hearted, and agreoable j tho people of another place, cold and morose and un pleasant. It would be a satisfaction to know that the weather is responsible for tho difference. Observation of this sort would also teach us doubtless what places arc most conducive to literary production, what to happy homes and agreeing wives and hus bands. All our territory is mapped out as to its sanitary conditions ; why not have it colored as to us effect upon tho spirits nnd the enjoyment of life t The suggt stion opens a vast field of investigation. Ciuui.esDudi.kv Wau- m:n, in Harper s Magazine for Feb ruary Feedine Work Horses in Winter. It is not a good plan to feed farm horses much grain during tho wiuter, when they have littlo work to do. If put to labor, give them the usual feed but when not at work, one-fourth of tho amount of grain given during the ousy season is enough, ut course. they must havo all the good ttover they wish. Horses do not need much grain at, mis season ; and it given it they do not havo brisk appetites for it in spring, and likely will soon refuso to eat the amount of grain they need to Ktep them m good condition at hard work. If, however, tho horses are fed almost altogether on stover dur ing tho winter, they will not rcfusi gram wnen put to work, inaction is moro apt than tho soverest exertions to produco indigestion ; and if the horses are fed ilch food during tho winter, inoy aro apt to moet '.he spring in poor condition, Tho necessary animal neat ami rat can be made trom stover, A mixture of straw, clover, hay and coi n fodder makes an excellent food for horses in winter. If any grain is fed it may well bo corn, reserving the oats until tho work season. Tho horses must bo fid as regularly and carefully in winter as when they aro at woik. It will not do to givo them heavy feeds ono uay. when tno weather is pleasant and scant feed, later than ucual in the morning nnd earlier in the evening the next day, b cause tho weather is severe. As for salting, tho best plan is to keep salt in a small compartment in ono corner of tho feed-box. If the horfes aro fed and watored regularly, given comfortable shelters, kept clean. supplied with salt, and given a tea spoonful of clean wood ashes in their feed every other day, they will not need condition powders. Whet over a man resorts to condition potvdors, he convicts himself of had management of his horses. American Agricultur ist for February. An Awfhl Eipedoncs. THRILLING STOItV OV K WOMAN WHO FELL '100 rSKT DOWN A CANTON WITH OUT HARM. Mrs. J. T. Townsloy of Chicago was an occupant of thu singe-coach that toppled a distanco ot 100 feet down Independence Pass, Col., Inst month, without suuainitig m much as n scratch. Mrs. Townsley is a preposs essing voung lady about M years of ago. Describing tho marvelous inci dent, tho details of rfliicli have not bo foro been printed, she sn)s: "At daybreak on Decembir 10 1 wakened nt my hotel in Iioadvlllu nnd was informed that tho Aspen stago was waiting for mo. It was bitter cold and snowing so densely that tho driver had to pilot mo to tho coach. I had on a heavy double-fold velvet dress, a seal skin sacqe, a buffalo robo pinned over my shoulders, my head covcied by n fur oip nnd my faco enveloped In a shawl, allowing an aperture for my eyes. Despite all llicso protections I was frightfully cold. The coach was drawn by six horses and was on wheels. Wo wero pro ceeded by tho Granite cottch, whicn was on runnels. Tho road over Elk Mountain is n natural ono that will ad mit of but a single coach passing. At tho apex of tho mountain tho Granite coaoh halted in a station blasted out ot the rock and allowed us to go ahead. Hero tho descent began. Tho road at this point runs at an indino of 4i. The driver put on his lockchniu to tho wheels, thus virtually converting them into runners. The vchlole, despite theso precautions, and by its own weight, went down at a frightful pace. We could barely keep our seats. We balanced ourselves as best wo could. Running up from tho truok and through tho box of the coach was a bar of steel called the king-pin. I clung to this and managed to keep my self right side up. Down the narrow path in the side of tho mountain we went, with thu horses in a mad gallop to keep the coach from running them down. Wo wero rounding Independ ence Pass when suddenly tho driver cried : "Jump I jump for your " He never finished the sentence Ho had been holding tho coach as near tho embankment as the narrow pass would permit. Ahead of bun ho saw a heavy boulder topple and fall down tho mountain side and into the path. This caused him to make tho cry of warning. Tho obstruction was but twehly yards ahead of him and it was beyond human power to stay the impetus tho coach had gottten coming down the incline. I saw tho driver leap, lnsido wo all held on to tho king-pin. Down wo went and in an other instant tho forward wheels struck tho rock. Tho hind part of tho coach was thrown forward and outward and the king pin snapped asunder liko a reed. Tho coach with all in it went over tho precipico on its side, aud I fell out through tho window. Less fortunate than myself, tho coach and my fellow tourists lodged in a crevice on the side of tho precipice, some 180 feet below the road. I was thrown out with such force that I cleared the crag and kept on and down the full 400 feet to the bed of tho canyon and into a bank of snow, cutting my way into it as if it was water, head first. The Granito coach, just to the rear of us, pulled into a notch in tho rocks and tho driver and somo prospectors got out and began to climb down to where I had lodged. Armed with shovels they began to dig mo out, and, it is curious to relate that the ono flesh wound 1 received was from tho blade of a shovel, which plowed up a furrow in my anklo when they reached me, I was finally dug out, unconscious and to all appearances dead. Restortatives wero administered nnd I was taken up and carried to tho toll house at tho head of the cliff. Here my hands and limbs were rubbed and ray face slapped until my checks were raw, but all to no avail. 1 was black in the face and there was no audible or visible respiration. I was left in the caro of tho toll-keeper nnd the Granite coach passengers with the two drivers started for Aspen, thirteen miles distant to summon surgical aid. Ono of tho party returned at midnight. in the meantime 1 had revived, and had in company with toll-keeper, gone down in a sleigh to tho dinner station, three miles below, and was administer ing to tho wounded and dying. All of tho rest had sustained frightful in juries in their fall of 180 feet, whilo I falling over twice tho distance, came out of tho disaster sustaining no other injuries than a bruise inflicted by the shovel. "What was it that ma said to you when you came Inf whispered young nobby to featheily, one of tho guests. "O. simply that sho was delighted to see me; thaf was all, Bobby." "I'm glad of it," said Bobby, and a look of genuine relief camo over his face, "cause she said this morning she hoped you would not come.'' The author of two popular novels dcolares that ho has made less than eighteen hundred dollars ir. two years by his writings. Since incautiously miking tho statement ho has been deluged with begging letters from the reBt of tho guild. A NEW LEASE OF LIFE. When one lias been suffering the agonies of a scvero attack of rheumatism, neural gia or sciatica, and relief comes, it seems as if a new lease of life had been granted. Such have been llie feelings of thousands who, after trying physicians ami number less remedies, have used Athloplioros and found to their great joy that this medicine really did cure thcbe diseases. 307 Fulton St., Brooklyn, N. Y. After suffering for nearly two years with a continuous uttackof rheumatism: after trying almost every specific, domestio and foreign, which tho credulllyof a wise man, or a fool, might lead one to trust In, It was a doublo nleaauro to me to find a remedy which, originating In the famous "City of Elms" the homo of my ancestors and its Crst founders has proved so invalua ble a blessing. It is nearly six months since I was led to trace out the significance of that word Athlophoros. It has proved to mo, in a good degree, a renewcr of my former vigor and strength, so that I have been enabled to move about with almost youthful activity, and to feel, while ap proaching my "three score years and ten," that I have u now hold on life. I believe your philo-iophy of the disease to be correct that it has its origin in the blood, and that your remedy touches those joints and mus cles, loosening the nodes, which have been brought into subjection to this dreadful disease and sets them free as no other remedy that 1 have tried. I have teen cautious for so lonir. a time In recommend ing it to others till I had tried Its ellicacy in my own ease; and I am now free to state the estimate I put upon It, as the safett and most efficient euro I have any knowledge of, A.
