NOTES AND COMMENTS.
THERE aie more evictions for non
payment of rents iu New York and
Brooklyn in one year, says a judge of the
latter city, than iu Ireland in two years.
THE Philadelphia Record suggests a
fruitful subject for speculation in an ar -
ticle in which it gives the names and ad
dresses of more than 200 women of Phila
delphia, most of them young, who
mysteriously disappeared last year.
THE Brazilian government has failed
to obtain recognition by Germany,
Spain, Austria and Russia. At St. Pet
ersburg the Czar has announced that
nothing would iuduce him to recognize
the republic during the lifetime of I)om
Pedro.
DUELING continues very frequently in
Italy. During the. last twelve months
2,759 duels were fought aud fifty of the
combatants succumbed. Some of the
duelists were wounded several times in
the same conflict, for 8,901 wounds were
inflicted and over one thousand of these
were serious.
IT is believed that thirty straugers per
week arrive in New York to purchase
counterfeit money of sharpers, and while
each and every one of them is swindled,
it is only about one out of every hundred
who makes a complaint. His own guilt
torbids, and he goes home a swindled
and wiser man.
ACCORDING to statistics recently sent
out from Washington, the internal rev
enue receipts have increased nearly
per cent, over those of the previous fiscal
year. The annual increase in population
is about 2$ per cent. Inasmuch as the
internal revenue is largely derived from
spirituous liquors the exhibit gives a very
fair indication of the progress of the
national thirst.
IN all probability, the most enviable
community in the "world is that in the
village of Klingenberg, on the Main, in
Germany. Instead of paying taxes as
ordinary mortals, the citizens of Kling
enberg received each 350 marks from the
income of several factories owned by the
town. The division was made after the
expenses of administration had been paid
by money from the same source.
SMALLPOX has practically disappeared
from the British Isles, only one death
having been registered from this disease
in England and Wales for the three
months ending with September lost.
During the same period 85 deaths from
smallpox were recorded in Venice; 53 in
St. Petersburg; 18 in Paris; 11 in Vienna;
10 in Brussels; 7 in Turin; (1 in Prague;
and a large number in Madrid.
VICE-PRESIDENT MORTON'S country
home at Rhinecliff, N. Y., is provided
with two hundred and fifty incandescent
lamps. An interesting feature is the
wiring of the house in such a manner
that should any window or door be tam
pered with by burglars, a special auto
matic switching device will throw into
circuit a number of lights, thus giving
the nocturnal intruder a bright and
warm welcome.
THE Young Women's Christian Tem
perance Unions of the larger cities will
give special attention this year to 4'Col
lege Settlements," a plan by which
refined and well-to-do women take up
their residence for -a time in the most
undesirable quarters of the city, there
to give an object-lesson in cleanly,
healthful home-life. Such "settlements"
in New York and Chicago are telling
visibly upon the "slums" by which they
are surrounded.
THAT precious relic of the old world,
the Egyptian obelisk, in Central Park,
absolutely refuses to be naturalized, says
the New York Mail and Express. The
spirit of serfdom was doubtless so in
grained into it that at this late day it
simply could not be reformed. This is
why the Hoard of Aldermen voted $2,-
800 to get it a new coat of wax. The
old coat has worn away, aud the prospect
of easterly storms threatened the old
veteran's life. What a pity this antique
party isn't put under cover 1
SUPERINTENDENTS of factories would
do well to regard attentively the regime
which exists in a wool-spinning mill in
Norway. All the unmarried hands,both
male and female, are engaged for a fixed
yearly salary aud get board and lodging
at the works. There is a large kitchen
and a large dining room; where the em
ployer and employed dine together. The
owner's wife herself superintends the
cooking. The bedrooms and the other
apartments are roomy and well ventilated,
the women sleep in one end of the build
ing and the men in the other. They all
look healthy and fresh, and very unlike
ordinary factory hands.
ACCORDING to a functionary of the C'znr
in New York city, it is a mistake to sup
pose that his Majesty is not aware of the
attacks made iu foreign countries upon
his policy. He says: "There is no Gov
ernment in Europe that hears the voice
of mankind more quickly than Russia.
The Czar recently thanked the American
Minister iu St. Petersburg for expressing
approval of his tolerant disposition. lie
has prohibited the Hogging of women
on account of the foreign outcry against
it. There is no doubt that he has been
made angry by the English and Ameri
can remonstrances against his treatment
of the Jews, but there arc forces that
prevent him from changing his anti-
Semitic policy. He heeds some foreign
protests and disregards others, but he
knows of them nil, as can be found out
by anybody who reads the Official Mes
senger. "
A PEASANT physician named Rieger, of
Glogau, in Silesia, announces a cure for
diphtheria which an agent of the Em
peror has examined and reported very
favorably upon. It is thought to be a
mixture of extracts from two or three
common weeds and an oil. The salve
resulting from the mixture is liquefied,
and applied with a brush to the interior
of the throat. The remedy was discov
ered by Rieger'a father, a shepherd. It
was applied by him only to external
wounds. Once, when young Ricger's
whole herd was dying of diphtheria, he,
in despair of all other means, began
treating their throats with the salve.
The favorable effect was apparent almost
immediately, and in a few days every
head of cattle was well again. Shortly
afterward diphtheria became epidemic
in the village. Rieger was invariably
called to give his remedy in the most
severe cases, aud almost without excep
tion it was followed by recovery. Grad
ually its fame spread, till to-day he is
receiving calls to cure persons of diph
theria all over Germany. The cures that
have contributed most to his reputation
were effected a few weeks ago in the
family of IhcFreiherr von Falkenhausen,
in Biclau.
AN experiment for the solution ol the
tramp question was begun in Germany
by a benevolent clergyman in 1882. It
was to give relief to those vagrauts in ex
change for work. He established sta
tions called labor colonics, nud last year
twenty-one of them admitted 0,2:11 per
sons. If a tramp reiuses the work pro
vided for him at a colony, he is turned
over to the civil authorities and disposed
of according to law. The system has
already reduced vagraucy and mendi
cancy in the empire, it is reported,and has
diminished indiscriminate almsgiving.
The work supplied at the colonies is farm
labor, reclamation of wastes, forestry or
trades. The stations are supported solely
by private subscriptions. After fourteen
da>Bthe tramp is paid moderate wages,
and from them is deducted the cost of
clothing and other articles he may use.
Besides the colonies there are a thousand
"stations'' where wanderers have tem
porary relief always in return for work.
TWENTY-SEVEN locomotives are in course
of construction at the Baldwin Locomo
tive Works, Philadelphia, which, when
built, will be shipped to New South
\\ ales, Australia. This is one of the
largest foreign orders ever filled by the
Baldwiu Works, and, coming from an
Australian province under the dominion i
of Great Britain, is very significant. |
! These twenty-seven locomotives will be !
■ used on a railroad owned and operated I
! by the government. Heretofore the Eng- '
| lisli government roads were mainly sup
i plied with English made locomotives,
j The contract for the iron monsters was
j made about two months ago. Ten of i
them are passenger locomotives, built on
the ordinary American plan, and are es- !
pccially designed for runs on heavy j
grades and over sharply-curved tracks, j
The English locomotive is not so well
adapted for mountain-climbing and
j curve-turning as are the ones made at
| the Baldwin Works. These ten passen
ger engines will each weigh about thirty
tons, exclusive of the tender, which,
loaded, will tip the beam at the same
figure.

that of liei baptized membership
throughout the world 32,000,000 speak j

every other civilized tongue she is well
represented, numbering in the world
28,400 educnted ministers, 88,881 church
edifices, and 50,001,280 baptized mem-j
bers. This church, though taking its !
origin in Germany, seems to know no
fatherland or mother tongue. She is at !
home everywhere. In the United
States, though among the last to come ;
to general public recognition, she is j
doing Christian work in twelve different j
languages, and lias 4,092 ministers, 7,948 '

Valuable Real Estate.
Some idea of the enormous value of
real estate in Now York can be gathered
from the fact that a single plat of ground
on the northeast corner of Thirty-first St.
and Broadway has been the subject of
sharp bidding for nearly two years on
the basis of SOOO,OOO. There is a build
ing on the premises, but as it is a some
what antique structure it does not enter
into the negotiations for the sale of the
laud. It is said that $050,000 was re
fused last week for this lot. The enor
mous value of property along upper
Broadway is the main cause of the some
what dilapidated and ragged appearance
of the buildings on that thoroughfare. !
Many of the tumble down three-story i
brick buildings pay their owners $7,000 j
and SB,OOO a year in rents. It is more j
profitable to keep them in their present j
condition than it would lie to pull them j
down aud put up more pretentious;
structures. The wedge-shaped lot at the j
junction of Fifth Avenue, Broadway '
and Twenty-third street, which is cov
ered by a rambling lot of two-story
buildings, has been the subject of ex
haustive figuring by every builder and
real estate speculator of consequence in
New York. None of them can figure
out higher returns on the capital invested
than the ram shackle little buildings now
pay. If the owner were to take them
down and put up a ten-story building
bis loss in the way of interest on the
capital invested in the new building
and the net loss on rents during the con
struction of the building would be
equivalent to a good-sized fortune;
hence one of the most important bits of
ground in America is slated under the
bead of unimproved real estate. —[New

Artificial Rubies.
About three vears ago, two French
chemists succeeded in producing rubies
artificially. The crystals obtained, bow- ,
ever, were small, aud since then the in
ventors have been occupied with the
problem of increasing the size of the
rubies obtained. To this end consider
able changes have been made in their
methods of operating. Instead of using
pure alumina, as formerly, alumina alka
linised bj potassium carbonate is em
ployed. This addition of an alkali does
not alter the purity of the crystals ob
tained, while it facilitates their regular
formation. In the original experiments
the operation was completed in twenty
four hours, hut the reaction is now ex
tended over several months, with the re
sult of obtaining much larger crystals.
As much as seven pound weight of rubies
is said to have been obtained at a single
operation. Although the crystals are
still relatively small, they are sufficiently
large to mount, which was not the case
in the first essays of the inventors.
Bolt for Stock.
It is scarcely necessary, at this late day,
to question the advisability of giving salt
to farm stock. It is true that they may
live a long time without, but what de
privations our animals may endure is not
the way wc should look at the subject.
In European countries, where they have
not only the longest experience but have
conducted their experiments with greater
care than has ever been attempted in this
country, salt is generally considered as
essential to the health and comfort of all
herbivorous animals. In France, an ox
is allowed about two-thirds ol an ounce
of fait per day to every two hundred
pounds of his weight, while a slightly
larger amount is given to pigs and sheep.
The Germans have a proverb that 1 'one
pound of salt makes ten pounds of meat."

Neutralizing Lightning Pains.
A singular phenomenon of the light
ning flash is that its chief effects are ob
servable only at the points of its entrance
and exit. Thus a flash which entered a
school room injured onl} the first and
last ehikl on the form, those between
escaping unhurt. The most effective
treatment of lameness and other ailments i
due to lightning is the application alter
nately to the head, trunk and limbs of a
large horseshoe magnet. In case of a
quite rec ont stroke the clothing should
he unfastened, the patient laid with the
head high und quietness and fresh air
should be secured. If consciousness does
not return the head should he exposed to
a stream of cold water.
SNOW TWO MILES DEEP.
N. B. Lazard's Experience While
Prospecting in Alaska.
[ "Yes, I have been in a country where
; the snow is two miles deep," said N. B.
i hazard, a mining expert from Tomb
stone, Ariz.., at the Palmer House recent
ly. Mr. hazard was in the East during
the recent snowstorm, and was talking
about what the people in Pennsylvania
called a blizzard.
"They thought the two foot fall of
snow was something to talk about,"con
tinued the visitor, "but if they would
visit Alaska about two hundred miles up
the Yukon River they would find snow
that for miles is so thick that the banks
almost reach the skies. If it keeps on ac
cumulating as fust as it has during the
last ten years scientific men will not be
able to say truthfully the earth is round.
"I was in Alaska in the Consoflako
regions in 1895, and that year the snow
fall was quite heavy. Snow that falls
there remains, for it never melts. A
prospector named Jim Thomas was with
me during the trip, and one beautiful
morning he fell from a glacier about 100
feet. The fall broke both his legs, one
of his arms, and crushed iu several ribs,
besides injuring him internally. He was
conscious when I reached him, and lie
told me he knew he was going to die. lie
begged me to see that his mother and
sister in the East received all the prop
erty he had left in Harrisburg. I prom
ised, and have fulfilled the trust.
"Just before lie died he asked me to
pray for him, and, for the first time
since I had knelt beside my mother
when a little boy, I got down on my
knees aud asked God to receive the soul
that was about to depart. 1 prayed as I
never have prayed since, and I meant all
1 said. There was a smile on poor
Thomas' fuce when I said 'Amen,' and,
with a most peaceful expression ou his
countenance, he breathed his last. I
buried him in the snow, and to-day, if
his body could be found, I know it would
look as natural as the moment he died,
peaceful expression and all."
Mr. hazard also had some thrilling ex
periences with the Apaches. While hid
ing in a chaparral and not daring to move
for fear of his own life he witnessed
atrocities upon a mother and her daughter
the recital of which explains why army
officers prefer to shoot their wives rather
than to let them fall into the hands of
the savages. "Afterward," said Mr.
hazard, "I had the satisfaction of shoot
ing down two of the wretches and of
sticking a knife into them. I tell you
the only good Indian is a dead Indian."

Ericsson's Exactness.
Johu Ericsson, the inventor, had not
only genui9 but the "immense capacity
for taking pains" which sometimes ac
companies it. All his work was so ex
actly done that he could demand from
workmen the most rigid observance of
details in the drawings furnished for
their guidance, without fear that they
might go astray.
When the steamer Columbia was built,
its engines were put ir according to his
designs. It was customary at that time
to get the length of the piston-rod from
the engine itself, and a man was, one
day, engaged in measuring it with a long
baton. Captain Ericsson chanced to go
on board, at that moment, and going up
to the workman, ho roared:
"What are you doing there, sir?"
"Getting the length of the piston-rod,
sir."
"Is it not on the drawing?
"Yes, sir."
"Then why do you come here with
sticks? Go aud get the length from the
drawing, sir! I do not want you to
bring sticks, when the drawing givc9
the size."
At another time, a workman was en
deavoring to put in the engines of a
steamship, and found great difficulty
with a small connection which is des
cribed as being "crooked as a dog's
hind leg." Finally he went toErics9ou,
and informed him that the rod could
not be put in place.
"Is it right by the drawing?" was his
query.
"Yes, sir."
"Then it will go in."
Aud on another trial, it did. The
master brain had left nothiug to be sup
plied by the ingenuity of others.—

A Noted Safe-Blower.
Cincinnati detectives have just arrest
ed the most noted safe-blower outside
of prison walls in the country, lie is
William Coleman, alias Connelly, alias
Rodgers. It was owing to Coleman's
ingenuity that the use of nitro-glycerine
is due in the bursting open of safes—a
discovery which renders unsafe even the
wonderful time lock which is generally
considered proof against "gophers" or
safe-blowers. In Cincinnati, a few years
ago, he advertised over the initials E. C.
for a small \ial of nitro-glycerine, which
he got by paying SI,OOO, the sum of
fered. Soon after, with several others,
he buret open the safe of the treusurer
at the east of Ix>udon couuty, Tenn.,
and stole $15,000. One of the gang was
soon after captured in Allona, with
SIO,OOO of the stolen money in his pock
ets. Those captured and placed in the
Loudon prison were released by force
soon after by Coleman and a number of
the gang. After robbing a bank in Au
burn, N. Y., the gang went abroad. AH
of them that came back have either been
killed or sent to prison and now Cole
man is in custody.—(New Orleans Times-

▲ Hairless Horse.
Now aud then a very curious specimen
is found among the desert horses of
Australia. The oddest of these that I
ever saw was a huge, ungainly beast
without a hair upon it. It was cut out
of a wild herd aud roped in by a station
hand, who sold it for a drink and a plug
of tobacco to some man riding along the
road past the homestead. The latter
tamed the hairless horse, taught it a few
commonplace tricks and showed it all over
the colonies. Ho was said to have taken
$100,0(H), though he spent it as fat us
Ihe got it. I 6aw the animal many times.
It was rather well shaped when it tilled
I out, and having no mane hut a high neck
and crest, it had something of the np-
I pearance of horses in antique sculptures
jor bronzes. Its skin was perfectly
[ smooth and shiny and a dark mottled
[ brown in color, and the poor thing
[ seemed very intelligent and docile.

Intoxeatlun by Kttier.
Intoxioation by etlior is quite an old
fad wbich is still prevalent. The prac
tice came into use in England in 1841,
aud was at first a kind of reaction
against the temperance movement which
has been inaugurated by Father
Mathew. The drinker first washed out
his mouth with a draught of cold water,
and after that tossed off a wine-glassful
of ether "nate," as it was said, driuking
it quickly, almost at a gulp. Both men
and womeu took part in this indulgence,
and were speedily brought into a state
of intoxication more or less complete.
The intoxication differs from that pro
duced by alcohol. It is more rapidly
induced and more rapidly dispelled; in
fact, the effect of one dose may be de
velopod and cleared off in fifteen or
twenty minutes. The delirium is sharp;
the stupor, for a brief period, doep; and
the cxcitemont, so long us it lasts, hys
terical.
IT'S OUR WAY. —We understand that
Judge Rich feels very bitterly toward
us because we said in The Kicker last
week that he got only his just deserts
in the row with Maj. Baldwin. It's our
way to state facts. The two gentlemen
were disputing as to the color of a jack
rabbit's eye. The Major was the soul
of good nature until the judge pulled
his nose. We stood close by and saw it
all, and distinctly heard the "spat" ol
the bullet as it struck the Judge in the
shoulder. The fact that Maj. Baldwin
subscribes for five copies of The Kicker,
while Judge Rich won't have it in the
house, does not bias us in the least. We
say that when a man pulls another
man's nose in malice he should be pre
pared for the worst. If the Judge wa
not prepared it was his own fault. He !
is bragging that he will serve our naaa
organ in the same way before the yeai

We extract the following interesting
items from the last issue of the Arizona
Kicker:
ONE LESS. —We know of one Indian
who won't gAmbol along the flowery
war-path any more to speak of. We re
fer to Lay-Down-And-Roll-Over-On-
The-Grass, otherwise known as Big
Jim. He was helping himself to a mule
from Thompson's corrall the other
night, when cne of the herders killed
him so dead that he didn't have time to
pull in his tongue. As usual, most of
the funeral expenses had to come out of
our pocket, although he was not our
meat.
GETTING MONOTONOUS. —Some one in
Omaha is selling off land iu this neigh
borhood for gardens and pasturage, and
erery day a tenderfoot shows up to take
possession. He finds the land to be
long to the Government, and to be

In five different eases our private
graveyard has been included in the

and expense to hold it. We are getting
rather tired of thi3 sort of thing, and
the next pilgrim who comes along and
takes that graveyard for a cattle range
! °f which he is the sole owner has got
j to skip at the word, or made the tenth

WE APOLOGIZE. —The editor, oAvner,
publisher and proprietor of the thing
called Our Cotemporary was driven
frantio with jealousy because Ave were
able to order and pay for three bundles
of paper at once. We happened to
meet him in Bonuy'a hardware store
Tuesday afternoon, where lie was dick
ering for a grindstone tou9e as a balance
wheel on his "only steam press," and he
boiled over and called us a liar. We
hope he can be patched up, sewed
together and saved from the grave,
though the latest reports are discour
aging. We didn't mean to. If he will
only got well he may abuse us the rest of
his natural life and wo wont say a word.
ANNOUNCEMENT. — We hereby an
nounce ourselves as a candidate for Mayor
at the election in April. It is a little
early, but no man ever secured an office
by being a little late. We don't pro
pose to lot any sense of false modesty
stand in the way of getting there. We
can read and Avrite and cipher. We
represent the intelligence and manners
of this community. We are the top
sheaf of society and can borrow a hun
dred dollars at the bank any day. In
brief, we are the best candidate who j
can be pnt up for this office, and wo are
j doing tho public a favor by couseuting
to run. We shall have something
further to say on this subjeot later on.
We don't want the office, but the of
fice wants us. At least we think she
does.

Drain©** Can't be Cured
; By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only j
one way to cure deufuess, aud that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by j
an inflamed condition cf the mucous lining of )
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or lmper- I
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed, !
Deafness is the resuD. and unless the lnflam- 1
malion can be taken out and this tube re- I
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be :
destroyed forever; nlno cases out of ten arc i
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hail's Catarrh Cure.

In reading over tlie literary items of
the week, I found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "dents' Dream." Imag
ine my surprise to And it ended up with
a recommendation to use Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
, a great sufferer from sick headache, I
i determined to try them, and, to my great
jov. I found prompt relief, and by their
i protracted use, a complete immunity
j from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
| often cure 6iek headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
j cathartic, according to size of dose.
As a pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
Cause no griping or sickness. Best
Liver Pill ever made. Smallest, Cheap
est, Easiest to take. For Constipation,
Indigestion and Bilious Attacks, they
have no equal.
