many. After using it a week I began
to feel better, ami in a short while after
that I was entirely cured. That terri
ble distress, everything I ate breaking
up sour in my throat, had all gone and 1
have not had a moment's discomfort
since. Today there isn't a healthier
man and my appetite is grand."
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. It is manu
factured by the Acker Medicine Co., 16
and 1.8 Chambers St., New York, and sold
by all reputable druggists.

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

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

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.

to do him harm.

Denton, seventy-five miles from Cape
San Bias on Dec. 37, he having been at

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.
