SCIENTIFIC SQUIBS. The Oklahoma Destitution, The present destitution in Okla homa is the logical outcome of the artificial character of its settlement. A Territory that within a few months developed hothouse towns, which the ready photograper has made familiar to Kastern people, having all the semblance, from a distance, of towns fifty years old, need not be surprised if such towns, and the economics they represent, waste away when exposed to the real facts of frontier life, Okla homa's budding civilization, therefore, coddled and fostered anil supported on other than the natural resources of either soil or citizens as a basis for life and growth, is withering, shrivel ing, and dying, as any conservatory jessamine, exposed to January's nor'- wester. The English, as usual have got the matter upside down, and the London lelcijraph of December 29 said: 'The sto-y of the settlement of Okla homa is the tale of all the American Territories and States. The Ameri cans are of our own race and we are proud of them. They made the wilderness blossom like a rose, not by policy or statecraft, but by the hard toil of courageous and capable men. With a people so strong and elastic, Oklahoma .will only be an episode probably to be forgotten before Chi cago opens her gates to the world in 1893." It would have btcn well if Okla homa had b en built by the hard toil of courageous men but it was not. The craze for land speculation en grossed the attention of the first Legis lature recently adjourned, and alto gether Oklahoma's civilization smacked of the packing case. The fashions were a few weeks behind l'aris, it is true, but still, what with a financial crisis, bank failures, and rising and falling booms in real estate and frame shanties, the new towns contrived to follow more closely their more august Kastern prototypes. The townspeople are, however, not the sufferers, the destitution being con fined to the thousands of bona fide but miguided settlers who rushed in, hav ing spent their last cent in getting there, and are now stranded, objects of charity for the nation to look after. They are not only land rich and money poor, but, worse yet, are poor in everything, including common sense. While the experience of these un fortunates will be most drastic, its ef fect on the nation at large cannot but be beneficial, for it will be the simplest of all object lessons in industrial economy, that you cannot get some thing out of nothing and live on it j and that is the secret of the destitu tion in Oklahoma.

A Heal Balsam is Kemp's Balsam, The dictionary says, "A balsam is a thick, pure aromatic substance flowing from trees," Kemp's Balsam for the throat aud lungs is the only cough medicine that is a real balsam. Many thin, watery cough remedies are called balsams, but such are not. Look through a bottle of Kemp's Balsam and notice what a pure, thick prepa ration it is. If you cough use Kemp's Balsam.

In most cases it would be a very difficult matter to prove that the game in question had been killed within the borders of the commonwealth if the opposite plea were entered and in this way the charges would fall to the ground. While this decision is doubtless good law its effect will be to make con viction in cases of violation of the game laws more difficult. Tough paper Is made by mixing chloride zinc with the pulp.

" I was troubled with catarrh for over two years. I tried various remedies, and was treated by a number of physi cians, but received no benefit until I began to take Ayer's Snrsnparilla.

"When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was reo oniuiended to me for catarrh, I whs in clined to doubt its eflicncy. Having tried so many remedies, with little beu ctlt, I hud no faith that anything would euro me. I became emaciated from loss of appetite- and impaired digestion. I bad nearly lost the sense of smell, and niy system was badly der mined. I was about discouraged, when a friend urged me to try Ayer's Snrsnparilla, nnd re ferred me to persons whom it had cured of catarrh.
