WARNING TO A HUMORIST. ALEX. SWEPT WHITES AN OPEN LETTER TO GEORGE W. FECK. Why the "SlftlnffV Man Would ifnrly Like to Meet the 'Bad Boy" Humorist. Alex Sweet, o.lilor of Tesns Sifting, publishes in bis pnperthe following letter to Oeorrje W. IVrk. of tho Milwaukee Sun and "Had Boy" notoriety: . My Df.au Pkik: While you wore in Xew York a couple of weeks ntro you ealM nt the otliee of Team Sifting, but I did not get to see you, na I was not in nt the time, but I found your card on my return. I mean on my desk, where you left it when you, yourself, left. In jus tice to you I will also state that I did not miss anything out of the ofliee. It seems you did not improve your opportu nities. I was very sorry that I did not pet to see you, for I wanted to thank you per sonally for a favor you did me about cipht years nsjn, when I was on the edi torial staff of the Galveston Xeiea. There are some doubt among the peo ple of Texas ns to my veracity. Some few people intimated that I didn't have any at all, but the general opinion was that I could tell the truth if it was to my inter est to do so, and I made an earnest effort. Just at this crisis I received the follow ing letter from you, which I published for my own vindication. After request ing in the letter th-. temporary loan of ninety cents, to enable you to purchase a pair of new pants, you went on to say in your letter : ''I have never in my wildest dreams thought of competing with the Sifter as a truth crusher. I am an ordinary Wis consin liar. I have never had the advan tages you possess. 2Iy surroundings aro not good for the development of genius in lying, as the community in which I reside is pious, and I have no competi tion. No person can succeed unless he has some competition to bring out the talent that lies hidden in him. Now, it is different down in Texas. You, al though you may be the champion, are not the only liar there. You have competit ors. Every man you meet lias some claim to prominence, and your talent is con stantly being burnished. I would be only a nine-spot in Texas. I was there in 1800, and I know what I am talking about." I fully appreciated this compliment. From that time on my status as a truth wrencher was fixed. Everybody in Texas had heard of Peck and his endorsement was all that was needed to be regarded as a talented journalist. I have often longed for the opportu nity to take you by the hand and thank you, and ask you when you were going to pay back the ninety cents I sent you. This is why I am sorry I was not in when you called the other dav. However, vou can remit either by postal note or check or both, if you see proper. I have to express my obligations to you for another favor. A few days ago, while putting on my new sixty-dollar overcoat, a disagreeable odor assailed my nose. I noticed it even after I got into the street. On meeting me, people would gasp, hold their noses, and cross over to the other side of the street, several dray norses slued ana a mule fainted. When I entered the office of Texas Sifting everybody present snorted, and looked at me pretty much as a Texas pony does when it hears a brass band for the first time. There was a vo ciferous smell in the office strong enough to drive a dog out of a slaughter house. I received several kindly suggestions to consult an undertaker, or a coroner. A gentleman who was about to sigu a $'2,000 advertising contract, dropped the pen and fled in wild dismay. He has never come back. I think he has left New York for hia health. We have lost $2,000. Owing to the warm air in the office I reached into my pocket to get mv hand kerchief to fan myself with it. When I pulled out my hand there was adhering to it a sticky mass which said "Limber- ger" very plainly. It spoke right out. now uo you suppose tnat i.imberger got into my pocket i You don't know, eh? Well, let me tell you. I have a boy at home of about rine years of age. Of late he has been reading a book called "Peck's Bad Boy." Ever hear of it? My boy, Norman, got that Limberger sug gestion out of that book, lie it was who put that old cheese in my pocket. Ha said that was what Peck's Bad Boy did to his pa. Well, he don't read that book any more. He can't read even his Sunday school book now without lying on hia abdomen to do so. I don't feel safe for my life unless I know that boy is at school or asleep. If you read of my fall ing down trie stairs ana Drenking my necK in consequence or tlie steps being lubricated, or if I come to any other sud den and mysterious end, you may close your eyes at night with the consciousness of knowing that the diabolical suggestion that shoved me into the tomb originated in that infernal book of yours. When you send me that ninety cents, include in it the $2,000 ad. we lost through the LiCiberger cheese. I'd like to known when you are coming to JNew York again, lwant to meet you at the depot when the train comes "in. You will be able to identify me by a large club which I shall wear in my right hand. How the coroner will be able to identify you after I get through with you is not very plain. Oh, come to the bower I've shaded for yon, And I'll liiaku au effort to be there too. Your true friend and future benefactor, Alex Sweet. Shorthand. The latest abbreviation crank hails from Illinois. Ho registered at tha Southside hotel thus: "V & et."

Ameng the results of a series of bser stions on the temperature of growing fruits, Dr. Ord has learned thnt the tradi tional coolness of tho cucumber in not a mere fancy, growing cucumbers having proven to be cooler than the surrounding air. The same is also tho case with ba nanas. The tin deposits of New South Wales cover an area of (J, 440, 000 acres, and probably much more than that. The present production is mainly of the allu vial mines, but lodes have been opened at Elsmore, Newstead, the Gulf of Jing ellio and Tingha. All of the minerals found associated with tin stone in other countries aro associated with it there, and comprise iron pyrites, topaz, copper, gar- urt aim maiacuue. An interesting experiment has been made in Germany with compressed paper capable of high polish as a mnterial for piano-cases. ' The tone of the instru ment is reported to be not loud but very weet; and, unlike the short broken note of the ordinary piano, tho sound is soft, full and slightly continuous, resembling somewhat thnt of tho organ. The modi fication of tone is ascribed iu the even ness of texture of the compressed paper. Near Burgbrohl-on-the-Hhino a bore hole about 17 feet deep yields a large and steady supply of carbonic acid gas, which is now compressed in wrought iron vessels and used for various purposes. lis enormous expansion is employed by Messrs. Knipp at Essen for compressing steel and other casts, and it is also utilized for impregnating beer and natural water for tire extinguishing apparatus, as a motor force for torpedoes etc. In looking over a lot of Japanese tools recently we observed a carpenter's saw, says an exchange. These saws all cut on the pull stroke, and not on the shove stroke like our own. It is said to be rather more difficult to saw to a line, but nevertheless they have their advantages, as they will no't buckle or bend when they strike a knot, or arc cramped from any cause. The pull stroke of 3,000 years ago is the best for thin and nar row saw blades. In his new work on anthronolosrv To- pinard says that there are only two types uie oionuc ana tne dark; tnnt tho other so-called types yellow and red in particular can only in a very minor de gree serve to distinguish races, and that the color as a rule is an uncertain charac ter, liable to niter in individuals and dif ficult to determine and express. As a concession, however, to the general prac tice, he gives a table of classification of races by their color under the three de nominations white, yellow and black. In an nrticlo on "The Use of Oil at Sea." by Lieutenant John P. Ilolditch, R. N. 11., the author says: "The results I have obtained are these : Fish or colza oil only is of any good ; it does not mat ter how dirty it is as long as it is not luaua.. x-aramu IS too tuin ; paint Oil too thick. Running before a gale naturally expends much more oil than 'laying to,' you have so much more water to oil. Carefully expended, one quart in three hours for running and one pint in four hours for laying to will be sufficient. The means I used was a canvas bag (No. 0), with large holes stabbed with a needle. I have heard of a bundle of oakum being saturated with oil and then put in a coarse gunny bag, which I think would admit of a thicker oil being used for the time. The place for towing is undoubtedly forward, not aft. Whether in head-reaching oil could be used suc cessfully I cannot say, but I doubt it. When running dead before the wind, tow from each cathead, and the ship is as safe as anything can be at tea." WISE WORDS. A good life does not silence calumny, but it certainly disarms it. An honest employment is the best in heritance that can fall to any one. Good manners may exist without good breeding; but good breeding cannot ex ist without good manners. Never wait for a thing to turn up. Go and turn it up yourself. It takes less time and is sure to be done. True bravery is shown by performing without witnesses what one might be ca pable of doing before all the world. The moment we feel angry in contro versy, we have already ceased striving for the truth and begun striving for our selves. It is easier to give good council than to receive it. Wise men think they do not not need it, and fools will not take it. There is more real happiness in genu ine simplicity than in all the show and style you can put on, for the latter only mask our real being. To be perpetually longing and impa tiently desirous of anything, so that a man cannot abstain from it, is to lose a man's liberty, and to become a serf ant of meat and drink, or smoke. A New Tunning Agent, The discovery of a safe and efficient tanning agent to take the place satisfac torily of the costly hemlock bark has long been a desideratum, notwithstand ing the various substitutes which have been brought forward: Recently con siderable has been said of the discovery made some time since by an Ariz'ona tan ner of a plant which carries a large pro portion of tannin, and which, when used in the manufacture of leather, is found to give extra weight to the article produced. This plant is of annual growth, indigen ous to the deserts and dry uplands, and is known as gonagra. It has a root somewhat longer and more scraggy than the cultivated beet, though resembling it in appearance, and practical use has demonstrated its tannin properties to be about three times as great as the ordinary oak bark, and that iu all essentials it is superior to such bark in the manufacture of leather. It has now been in use for this purpose a considerable time, prov ing beyond question its superior adapted ness, while in respect to cost, as com pared with bark, it has immense advan tage over the latter.

At the recent silver wedding of Major M. G. Gushing and wife, of Valley City, D.

The ship was loaded with silver dollars, one of which was of the coinage of 1TU8. Although a stanch friend and pleasant companion to those whom he liked, the late Duke of Somerset was to the world at large one of the haughtiest and most reserved of peers, a tit successor to that former Somerset who deducted $100,000 from his daughter's portion because sho sat down in his presence without his per mission. Some of the new stockings have nov elty, if nothing else to recommend them. One pair shown them have had a lozenge shaped piece of black lace let in on tho instep, others have rows of lace insertion. Some of the new hose have embroidered spots all over them. The new slippers are calculated to display these stockings to good advantage. "Snickersnee." The allusion to his "snickersnee" made in Ko-Ko's song in the "Mikado," when he tells how artistically he performed an execution, puzzles ninny people. The majority, no doubt, think the word is merely a fanciful one introduced by the nuthor to designate a Japanese sword, but this is not the case. In Washington Irving's "Knickerbocker History of New York'' it is related how, when stout Peter Stuyvesant assembled the train bands, they came in motley array, bringing with them all sorts of firearms, and bearing also "swords, hatchets, snickersnees anil crowbars." The dictionary says that, "snick" means a ciit, and that "snee" is a contraction of a Dutch word meaning practically the same thing. "Snick ami snee" is defined as a combat with knives. A "snickersnee" is really a kind cf sword. Chicago Tr if) tine. Mr. J. D.

I hoiiM havnnroffed at the Idea. 1 have alwavs boen uncommonly strong nd healthy, and weighed over '.1111 pounds, and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize t, tli. n, n.. urea and rannot. account for it. They feel Hull pains in various parts of the body and do not understand why. Or f hey are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite tlio next This was Jut the wsv I felt when the relentless malady which bail fastened Itself upon lllft Hrsl heirun WMII 1 tl I.. nothing of It; that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass awav. Shortly after this I noticed a heavy, and at times neuralgic pain in one side ormy head, but as It would oomo no day and be gone the next, I paid litllu attention to it. Then my stomach would get out of order and my fisid often failed to digest, causing at times great inconvenience. Yet, even as a physician, 1 did not think that these things meant anything serious. I fancied I was suffering from miliaria and doctored myself accordingly. Hut 1 got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor aliout the fluids I was passing -also that ' there were large quantities one day anil ery little the next, and that, a persistent froth and senm appeared upon the surface, and a sedi ment settled. And yet. I did not realize my danger, for. Indeed, seeing these symptom" continually, I finally became accustomed to them, siid my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that t had no pain In tile affected organ, or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot understand. I consulted the best medical skllltn the land. I viMted all t lie famed mineral springs in America and traveled from Mains to Califor nia. Still I grew worse. No two physicians greed as to my malady. Una said I was troubled with spinal irritation, another, dys pepsia: another, heart disease; another.general debility; another, congestion of the base of the brain; and so on through a long liht of common diseases, the symptoms of miny of which I really had. In tins way several years parsed, during which time I was steadily growing worse. My condition had really become piti blo. The slight symptoms I at first, experi enced were developed Into terrible and con stant disorders. My weight had been reduced from a)7 to IM pounds. My lit,, was a burden to myself and friends. I run Id retain no food on my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was un controllable. In my agony I frequently fell to the floor and clutched tho carpet, and prayed for death! Morphine hud little or no effect In tieHuruiug me pain, r or six days and nights I had the death-premonitory hiccoughs con stantly!

As a practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, I derided the Idea of any medi cinn outside the regular channels being in tho least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Footo, that I filially promised I would waive my prejudice.

I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should I re cover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the gisid of hu manity, wherever and whenever I had an op portunity, and this letter is in fulfillment ot that vow. .My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had gaiurd M pounds in flesh, became en tirely free from pain uud 1 believe I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner's safe cure, the remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly rein vestigated the subject of kidney ditltctil'ties and Height's disease, and the truths developed ure ustoundlng. I therefore state, delilierately, aud as a physician, that 1 believe more (Mm tmr.-htilt Uic i(.-ufis whu h occur in Ainrru it are rauiu-U hij Urialit' dmrnnr of the iuju-. This may sound like a rash statement, but I am pre pared to verify it fully. Wright's disease has no distinctive features of its own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in Hie kidneys or their vlcinityi, but bus the ymitoms of nearly every other common com plaint. Hundreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized by a physician's oertitl ratu as occurring from "Heart Disease," "Apo plexy," "Paralysis," "Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism," "Pneumonia," and the other common complaints, when in reality it is from Hriglit's disease of the kidneys. Few physi cians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidious na ture. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence if at all by tho common est symptoms and fastens itself in the consti tution before the victim is aware of it. It is niiarly as hereditary as consumption, quit as commuuand fully as fatal. Kntire families, inheriting It from their ancestors, have died and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious puwer which was removing them. Instead of common symptoms it of fen shows none whatever, but brings death sud denly, from convulsions, apoplexy or heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experience what he says, I implore everyone who reads these words not to neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty. No one can afford to hazard such chances. I makethe foregoing statements based upon facts which lean substantiate to the letter. 1 lie welfare of those who may possibly be suf ferers such as 1 was is an ample inducement forma to take the step 1 have, and if lean siic.ceivsfully warn others from the dangerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to endure all the professional and personal con sequences. ..
