Danger Signals More than half tbe victims of consump tion do not know they have it. Here is a list of symptoms by which consumption can certainly be detected: — Cough , one or two slight efforts ot\ rising, occurring during the day and fre quently during the night. Short breathing after exertion. Tightness of the chest. Quick pulse, especially noticeable in the evening and after a full meal. Chilliness in the evening, followed by Slight freer. Perspiration toward morning and Tate face and languid in the morning. Loss of vitality. If you have these symptoms, or any of them, do not delay. There are many preparations which claim to be cures, but Dr. Hckcr's English Remedy for Consumption has the highest endorsements, and has stood the test of years. It will arrest con sumption in its earlier stages, and drive away the symptoms named.

WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL Fierce Struggle Between Boers and Uitlanders. No Confirination of the Reported Kcscuo of I>r. Jameson, Rut the j Story Probably True —Germany Assures Protection to President Krngrr—Cecil Rhodes' Successor. London, .Tan. 7.—Although the Brit ish government is doing all it can to suppress news from the Transvaal gov ernment enough has leaked out to make it certain that the South African re public is in a state of civil war and that a great struggle is 011 between the I nlanders and Boers for supremacy. In numbers the Uitlanders have the advantage but the the Hoe re are de termined fighters and besides they are the best ecpiipped for war. The sensa tional dispatch announcing that Dr. Jameson had been released by the I it- , landers has not been officially con tinued, but as the news came from the London consul of the Transvaal repub lic it is probably correct. The pre sumption is that a rising has occurred and that the Boers, who had the cus tody of Jameson and his men, have been overwhelmed. The same dispatch also states that the British government is rushing troops to Cape Town. Twelve hundred soldiers left Bombay 3'ester day and more are to follow. Cecil Rhodes Out. Dispatches received from Cape Town state that tlie resignation of Cecil | Rhodes as prime minister of the Cape Colony has been accepted by Gov. Sir I Hercules Robinson, and Sir Gordon Sprigg, treas irer of the Cape govern ment, has hi en appointed in liis place. | Germany's Aid Assured. Berlin, Jan. 7. —The emperor gave an audience lust evening to Dr. Leyd, sec retary of state of the South African republic.

Southington, Conn., Jan. 7. —A town meeting last evening appropriated the sum of 830,000 for a new high school, RAISING OF HORSES. Fronpect for the Future :IH Presented t* the Ui>courod farmer. The price of horses has of late been so reduced that farmers are discour aged in horse raising. The low prices now prevailing are due to a want of demand on account of the electric ear system, which lias been so generally established throughout the cities and some parts of the country for rapid transportation. This is, no doubt, in some part the cause of the weak de mand for horses in the markets. There is, however, another cause, which will be found in overproduction. A few years ago the horse craze, as it may he called, prevailed among farmers, and there was scarcely anyone who was not breeding either (irst-class roadsters or blooded drivers. For these, for a few years, first-class prices were obtained, and the demand, which was ut the time a fictitious one, produced a sort of boom in horseflesh, with an oversupply, and now there arc too many horses for the market, which has tor the time been somewhat dimin ished by the electric ear iines. Hut good horses ureal ways desirable, and will in the near future bring better prices than now. Farmers will under stand what they need, and for awhile, perhaps, the supply will be short of the demand, but the price will again settle to a fair compensation for the 1 rouble and risk in raising good horses, (iood family horses will always be in demand in the cities and in the prosper ous villages. Cars may carry men to business, uiul women to their shopping, lmt there is a demand, in hours not spent in business, for a carriage horse to supply the need felt by every well-to do family that they "may have a restful airing in the parks aud in the suburbs of the oily. Farmers would do well to turn their attention to raising horses to supply this want. Ilorses should be raised of the best blood, not for the turf, but for the carriage, and as much i are should be taken in their training for this purpose, as is necessary to pro duce good conditioned, quiet, trusty horses suited to driving through all the bustle and noises of the city. This will require time and care in the trainer, but such horses will always have a good sale, and can be profitably raised. Give us good family horses and the de mand will be suflicient to pay the pro ducer a good profit.—Farm News. NOTES ON PARIS GREEN. Two Hundred Ton* Hmploved iu th United State* Annually. Paris green is the most useful and valuable of the arsenicals used ns in secticides. As is well known, its act ion is more rapid and effective than that ot London purple, and having a definite ihemieal composition it ought to be subject to variation in the amount of the active agent, arsenic. Its use as an insecticide has enormously extended of late years, and upward of 2,000 tons are annually employed in the United States, besides 100 tons in Canada, i'hc chief difficulty in using Paris green is the readiness with which it settles to the bottom of the tank or reservoir of the spraying apparatus. This is De cause it is a rather coarse powder, very much less finely divided than London purple, which latter fact gives the purple a certain advantage. A recent conversation \s ith one of the leading manufacturers of Paris green has brought out the fact that this coarseness of grain and the accompany ing difficulty in using Paris green in water suspension is quite unnecessary. It seems that the market has hitherto demanded a very dark colored article, the lighter color having been deemed to indicate adulteration. It seems, how ever, that the darker color is simply due to the larger size of the crystals. if the green were reduced to an impalpable powder, which would make it much more satisfactory as ah insecticide, it would lose the intensity of its color and become whitish. Thismanufucl iff er telly me that for a number of yours he was able practically to control the market, because he had discovered a means of crystallizing the green in unusually largo particles, securing a vei y dark-colored product, although lie was aware that for the use in tended the product so obtained was much less valuable. Vet abo darker green, with its accompany ing turgor sized crystals, is more diffi cult to manufacture and hence ex pensive. It see ins, therefore, that all these, years we have been using a poison which could have been bad at less ex pense and in a much more satisfactory form. —Insect Life. Old Military Stupid*. "What made you leave the army at sr early an age, with such a fair record be hind you, and so promising a career in front of you?" I once asked an officer, whose chief defect was a proneness to act on hot-headed impulse. The pur port of the reply was: "At my last in spection I was questioned by the gen eral concerning th*j prices of the sol diers' socks and shirts. I gave him to understand that 1 neither knew nor eared, and of course I was pretty sharp ly reprimanded. I became so disgusted with this and similar absurdities of regimental pedantry that I sent in my papers." The weary waste of time, the (ireumlocutionary twaddle of the old military correspondence, was a subject for burlesque. Once, as president of a hoard to report on an uecident to a horse, I simply stated that "the leg was broken," and received a rather sharp reprimand for embodying an opinion in such trivial language. Thereupon 1 amended the defect by suggesting that "the tibia was fractured," and was com plimented for the satisfactory lucidity of my report. Tradition declares that in India a similar hoard recorded an opinion that "the elephant is dead and smells bad." The general in a towering passion rent back the proceedings for revision, whereupon the hoard amended its report: "The elephant is still dead and smells worse."—Blackwood's .Mag azine. SOME CURIOUS WORDS. The Origin of "tins" L'ucxplainod and "Ca price" KCIHICH to the I'luyful Goat. One need not search far in the dic tionary to find curious words. Most words have an interesting history as to development and change of sense, and the regular processes of forma tion by compounding different ele ments into one new vocable are very interesting as a study. If you desire to know the English language well, and to be able to express' thought eleurly, you cannot afford to neglect the study of etymology. One of the most interesting discov eries made by the student of etymology will he the unaccountable origin, or rather the utter absence of systematic origin, of some of the commonest words. Thus, gas is a name that has never been explained, beyond the mere statement that it was invented by a Belgian chemist named V an ltelmoni. Cuesses have been made about what suggested it to him, but he pave no in formation as to its source, but merely wrote in Latin: "This vapor hitherto unknown, 1 call by a new name, pas." Caucus and teetotal are common words without satisfactory explana tion, but with very interesting' histor- Certain snakes are culled adders. Is it not a curious fact that the name ad der origfiuated simply through erroneous understanding of sound? The Anglo- Saxon word was naedre, and the Ger man is natter. Adder comes from mis understanding a nuddcr as an adder, and the Century dictionary says that apron, anger, orange and umpire arose through a similar mistake. Just opposite to this peculiar change from nudder to adder is that which gives us the name newt for what used to be an ewt. A common saying* is that a surprised person is taken aback. This is said to have originated from some expression used nautically, as in saying that sails are taken aback when they are driven by the winds back against the mast. Probably it would be hard to prove that either of the sayings had its origin in the other, but they both use the word aback in its literal sense—backward. Aback and similar words disclose a curious fact in their etymology, name ly, that the first syllable is merely a letter that stands for the original Anglo-Saxon word on, which meant not only what our present "on" means, nut also at, to, in, into, or almost any thing of that kind, according to cir cumstances. Accord, concord and dif-cord come from what seems a queer thing to sug gest some words for the sense in which they have always been used. In each the second syllable is from the Latin word for heart. Accord in its elements means "to the heart." Ileal agreement or harmony must have been considered so sweet and EO rare that the only fitting name for it must con ain that of the. heart us the seat of iiiman affection. Caprice unci capricious seem to arise mm the fact that people couhl find no >etter comparison for certain actions hail the capering of a goaf. The ety mology of these words that connects them with the Latin word for goat is questioned by the Century dictionary, hut there is no doubt that caper is from that Latin word. Pilgrims were so called from a very queer reason, and the word was made in a queer way. They walked through the land, and, as this was their promi nent characteristic, it suggested the name for them, which is made from the Latin words per, meaning through, and ager, meaning land.—Philadelphia Times. THE SOUTH AFRICANS. An English View of Their Changes! Con dition. I The native tribes of South Africa are speedily becoming amenable to civili zation. Unlike the red Indians and aborigines of Australia, the Kafiir does not die out as the white man proceeds to occupy his country; humane laws tester the wellbeing of the native. In i Natal, especially, the increase in the I black population is marked and rapid. This line country, which 50 years ago j contained only a few thousands of miserable refugees, hiding and fleeing : from the ravages of those awful i tyrants, Dingaah and Cuaka, now con ! tains ti black population of about 500,- i 000, rejoicing under the benign rule jof the "Queen-Empress" Victoria. It I may be that at times the younger men, ! during a beer-drinking bout, talk some nonsensical rant about retaking the | country fioni the white men. These ; are speedily silenced by the old men, ! who will frequently bring both native ! wit and oratory to bear upon the young j and impetuous braggadocios, who arc ' speedily silenced when told that the great white queen's "impi" (army) j would crush any rebellion with one | tenth the ease with which the savage Zulu nation was subdued, i The old men will tell of most awful reminiscences, sucli as: "Don't we re member when a man dare not put his head outside his hut door, except at ; the risk of being brained by a knob { ktrrie or impaled on an assegai." They will then wax eloquent on the safety ; uiid security of all native tribes under British rule. The AmaMvazi tribes were and still are anxious to come under our rule rather than that of the Boers of the Transvaul republic; but their desire comes too late, us the Boers were entitled to claim a treaty ! with Great Britain, giving them the right to annex Swaziland —the latter I considering she has already as many black children on her hands as she can find nurses and nurseries for. This leads one to remark that flic Kaffirs are, after all, only children, just emerg ing from heathen darkness ami super stitions. Their docility is wonderful; their faith in a white man, especially an Englishman, is great, and the prog ress oT Christianity is the hope of the nation, accompanied by all the civiliz ing influences of steam, electricity and modern inventions.—St. Louis Ucpub -1 lie. THE NEW BOND CALL How It Is Viewed by New York Bankers. Generally Approved, But Some Doubt Entertained as to Whether It Can Be Floated by Public Let ting—Members of the Syndicate Have Nothing To Say. New York, Jan. 7.— J. Pierpont Mor gan, the head of the bond syndicate, said this morning- regarding- the govern ment bond issue: "I am not prepared to say what course the syndicate will pursue. There is thirty days in which to think over the matter. No one has yet withdrawn from the syndicate. I do not see why people who desire to bid for bonds should not be able to get gold. The syndicate has no corner in it." Generally speaking it may be said, as a result of a canvass of the banking fraternity in Wall street, that the president's action in calling for bids for a new loan was approved, but it was thought unfortunate that so long a period as thirty days must elapse before the question whether the loan will be floated by public letting can be determined. The call, it was said, leaves everybody in suspense for a whole month, during which time a great deal of harm may arise. Freder ick D. Tappen, president of Gallatin National Bank and chairman of the clearing house loan committee, was an exception to the rule which apparently prevailed among bank presidents gen erally. lie was willing to speak on the subject of the call for the loan and was willing to be quoted. He said: "I think the call for a loan is a good thing, and I think it will succeed. At any rate it will settle the question whether the people want the bonds or not. If they don't, the bonds will have to be placed through a syndicate." Believe tho Plan Will Fall. Baltimore, Jan. 7.—ln commenting 011 the proposed government loan, Messrs. Humbleton & Co. said: "We fear that the popular loan now pro posed by Secretary Carlisle will be a failure. The government wants what the public does not possess—gold. It is true there are about $200,000,000 gold held l>y the national banks all over the country, nearly half of it at New York, but this gold is generally counted as the bank reserve fund, and any very large portion of it could not be re leased, even if the banks desired to buy the bonds. Certainly the banks will not give up their gold to their custom ers. In deference to the sentiment of the Uuited States senate, the president is justified in trying a popular loan, but we have no idea that he proposes to wait thirty days before taking steps to strengthen the gold reserve fund and anticipate that he will, should it become neeessarj', not hesitate to sell bonds privately to a syndicate." Paper for tho Bonds Ordered. Washington, dan. 7. Orders have been given to Chief Johnson of the ! bureau of engraving and printing to I prepare the distinctive paper for the j printing of the new issue of bonds. As all the plates are ready, all that i will be necessary will be to print the 1 face of the bonds when it is known how many of each denomination is wanted, j The treasury has not figured officially ! on what the new bonds should sell for i to bring them up to the market price of the bonds sold to the lielmont-Mor gan syndicate, but it is stated unoffi ; cially that 119 to 119.15 is about the proper rate to put thein on a 3 per cent, basis. SPOB Danger In Sliver. I London, Jan. 7.—The Daily News to-day appeals to Americans to sub ! scribe to the new United States loan, , which, it adds, involves much greater 1 difficulties than those which were suc cessfully met last February. The coun try, it says, is appreciably near the danger of a silver basis. The subscrip tions invited is obviously inadequate to meet the case. President Cleveland seems to be fully alive to the gravity of the situation, but congress appar ently requires a further object lesson in the elements of sound finance. Approve (he President's Aotion. j Chicago, Jan. 7.—While there is some I difference of opinion among Chicago j brokers and bankers in regard to the action of the national administration ! in issuing a call for a popular loan of ! 5100,000,000, the general impression is that the president did the proper thing and that Chicago capital will do its part in floating the bonds. Not Organizing a New Syndicate. | New York, Jan. 7. —John A. Stewart, president of the United States Trust company,stated last evening that there was no truth in the report that he was organizing an independent syndicate to subscribe for the new bonds. Detained UN an Insane Man. Niagara Falls, N. Y., Jan. 7.—Hugo Egle, a well dressed man about 25 years old, who says he comes from Peru, Ind., and is a musician, is under arrest here as being insane.

LIVE QUESTIONS IN THE FREELAND TRIBUNE. Commencing with Monday, February 10,1890, and continu ing through the year, the TRI BUNK proposes to publish a series of able articles upon subjects of vital and geiu ral ■ 1 interest to our readers. Emi nent thinkers and writers of national reputation on Social, Economic and industrial Prob lems have promised contribu tions upon topics of universal interest. The list of authors, and the comprehensive group of "Live Questions" that will be treated by them, can be seen on this page, and will, we confidently believe, merit the hearty interest of readers who are already interested in these themes, and are anxious to receive the most rational opin ions obtainable. All articles will be prepared in an inquiring and scientific • spirit, and will be non-sectional and non-partisan. Vigor and simplicity of statement will be aimed at, and all phases of re form thought will be fairly and impartially presented. Upon -v subjects about which there is a variety of candid opinions, all sides will receive an equal op portunity to be heard, that the truth may, if possible, be ar rived at. This is the first co-operative attempt upon the part of able writers to thoroughly discuss all the interesting phases of social and industrial life for the masses who would be the beneficiaries of substantial re forms, and the arrangements made by the TRIBUNE give us the sole privilege of publishing the articles in this town. They can be read in no other Free land paper, and those of our readers w r ho are not subscribers should have their names placed on the list without delay. t CONTRIBUTORS. Hon. Carroll D. Wright. B.
