A i.rrn.K crack in the crust at Canada, just big enough to drop Wiggins out of sight, is quite desirable. Whkk a man runs as an independent lie naturally gathers up all the scraps of platform that have been rejected by the builders in other parties. A Nmv York man declares it is cheaper to live in Florida in the winter t han it iH to stay at home and buy seal skin sacks for his family. lie has not tried Jacksonville. The canvass in Tennessee iH regarded its a slow mule race. In some instances the members of one party will vote for tlie candidate of the other party to keep their own candidate from being govern or. An exchange says: “No matter which Taylor is elected, the people of Tennessee will wish it hud been the oth er one.” It is supposed every man has soino- thing to he proud of. An ox-judge con fined in the Louisiana penitentiary claims to he proud of his record on the bench. There is in jail in the City of Mexico a young man who is awaiting ex ecution for the murder of his mother. Last week several of his friends received nicely printed cards worded as follows: “Francisco del Moral lias the pleasure to invite you to be present at his execution, so that you may be able to judge how n man should die.” Whii.e tin* democratic campaign book was being edited a prominent democrat proposed to pay ?I(KKI for the privilege of writing one page in the hook. lie was asked wlmt he desired to write. He said: “1 only want to write one line, to lie printed on one page. It shall lie good democratic material.” The proposition was accepted and the next day (lie gen tleman presented a certified- check on Higgs A Co.’s hank for $1000 and a slip of paper upon which was written in a bold hand, "To the victors belong the spoils.” The member of the committee looked lit thei’heek, then at the sentence, scratched his head, returned both to the giver, saying: "I agree with you, Imtcan not accept your proposal.” The prom inent democrat tore up both check and paper upon which the famous matter was written and walked out of the com mittee room. the schools to iieoin. People may talk of the Hitting of the summer hoarder, or the arrival of cool weather, or the coining of the autumnal equinox as the real beginning of the fall season, but they know they are wrong all the time. The real beginning is always the opening of the schools. No one will dis pute that it is so to the young folks, and the youngsters rule the household. There are about thirteen hundred of them who are expected to enter the public schools OU Mi unlay. In addition to this there are several other private schools to begin, and during the next ten days nearly all the schools in the city will be under full headway, which will increase the number to near 2iXX). Kacli one repre sents at least three other human be ings—probably four, So there are 0000 or stXX) people in ColumbuB whose daily routine is attected move or less by the opening of the schools. The opening of the ••fall trade" may have its intluenee upon as many more, Imt the opening of the schools comes home to the “business and osoms” of two-thirds of the families m the city. The children have now had a long va cation and are prepared for the work of study that is before them. Fortunately the schools will open with substantially the same officers and teachers as before. Teachers are like federal office-holders in one respect, and that is few die and' none resign. The principles of civil service reform are pretty firmly ground ed in the educational department, and where the teachers are of such high character as those in Columbus, it is a cause for congratulation that this is true. However, several very valuable acquisitions have been made to our private schools for the opening of tlie fall term. I here are few things which add more to the progress of the city than our schools. They are of a high order and, people recognizing this fact, are liberally patronized. The schools bring new and good citizens to help swell the popula tion. This brings trade and thus the city grows. JffiVlTIA FUT COLLI’* BEAT. Minister Den by, at Pekin, has reported to the secretary of China several coses of recent out- rages upon American missionaries. One was that of Rev. A. A. Fulton and wife and Miss Mary Fulton, when a church edifice erected by money sent from America for “foreign missions,” valued at $5,500, wuh also destroyed. Another case was the attack upon tbe Methodist mission hospital at Chung King, in the absence of all the male members, when one of the ladies was severely in jured. Such outrages ns these are enough to make tho average Christian shake his head when the contribution plate is shoved at him for the cause of foreign missions. There is too much cant in the Chris tian churches of this country on the subject of foreign missions, anyhow. There is plenty of work nearer home than China for all the mis” sionnries wc have, and many communities in different parts of the United States are without $5500 churches. Wouldn’t it be a good idea, then, for our Christian churches to first spread the gospel throughout our own land, and build a few mission churches and hospitals where they are sadly needed nearer home, before wasting any more money in erecting “Joss” houses for the “heathen Chlresc” to destroy? The above remarks are ft line illustra tion of what debaters technically term “begging the question.” There are some patent truths stated, it must be admitted. There ought to be more home missionary work; hut the writer is illogical in making that an excuse for the diminution or ces sation of foreign missionary work. It is true that many of our female missionary societies in the large cities are making shoes and shirts and buying catechisms forthenaked “niggers” in Caffreland, and collecting funds for the enlightenment of the heathen in China, while about their very doors there are ragged, un kempt orphan hoys whose lips have never uttered a prayer and on whose rude, untrtored cars Ciirist’s gospel never fell. But is the condition of the latter an excuse for the neglect of the former? Charity ought to begin at homo, but it ought not to stay there. The spirit of home missions, in order to be consistent, must sanction foreign mis sions. An exclusively home mission spirit is simply religious sectionalism— tho same kind of sectionalism that is deemed a narrowness and a disgrace in politics. There are a class of men who, when a missionary collection is being taken up, have a habit of saying, “Here’s ten dollars for home missions. J don’t be lieve in foreign missions until everybody at home is converted.” This is simply fencing in the grace of Cod with geo graphical lines. It is a sentiment and a spirit to beashainedof, not to boast of. As long as the Bible revisions fail to change the proclamation “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,” anti-foreign mission men must remember that their creed is inconsist ent with the word of God. But there is a side to this question of the recent riotH in China upon which the American press is strangely silent. The Chinese are our antipodes; but wrong cannot personate right even with the diameter of the earth between them. Tlie government of the United States has been shamefully recreant to the pledges made to China in several of the articles in the Burlingame treaty. Of course mob violence is lawless. But is it more reprehensible in heathens than Christians? Is it not less repre hensible when it is done from a desire to average wrongs than when it is done in a spirit of mercenary aggression? The missionaries who were mobbed and whose property was destroyed tlie other day in Chinn are self-abnegating servants of Cod, who deserve the amplest re muneration and the sympathy of the civilized world. They suffered innocent ly. They were scapegoats for the sins of the nation to which they belong by by birth and allegiance. For years, ever since tlie anti-Chinese demonstration of I tennis Kearney and his hoodlum ad herents, Chinamen have been massacred by Americans in the towns of the Pacific slope by hundreds. The civilized and Christian (?) murderers were prompt and accommodating in rendering a reason for their faith and works. The Chinamen were butchered on American soil— America, the refuge of the oppressed, the “land of the free and the home of the braue"—because they did better work for less money than the flannel-mouthed, beer-guzzling hoodlums who slew them. Would it be much of a joke, after all, if some day a Chinese junk, loaded with Chinese missionaries, should drop anchor in the harbor of San Francisco and the missionaries should ask tlie humble privilege of laboring for the conversion and reclamation of the American people? WIUT WILL THE HARVEST HE! The law of the harvest is to reap more than you sow Sow an act and you may reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny. Shakespeare says: “There’s a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them as we will.” The senti ment of the poet as expressed in the quotation seems to be at variance with the law of the harvest, as stated above, and when put in apposition they ap pear paradoxical. Can tlie sentiment as expressed in both be true? Yes, both are true. The common expe rience of mankind proclaims botli to be true. We know the law of the harvest to be to reap more than we sow, both in the spiritual and mental as well as in the material sphere of man’s operations. One grain of wheat sown makes a har vest of many grains. Tlie grain first sprouts from tlie soil and then sends out tillers from tlie parent stem, each of which bears an ear and each ear many grains. So one good act is a grain of good, planted in the fruitful soil of our own soul, * which may not to-day or to-morrow, but sooner or later, whenever the proper con ditions concur, will germinate into grow ing activity, and multiply as it grows, until the harvest time, whicli comes al ways in this life ami often sooner than we anticipated. Evil acts are likewise seeds of evil, which lodge themselves in tho soil of the soul and which, like the noxious weeds and brambles covering tlie earth, will grow and multiply and yield most mar velously. How many men and women are there to-day who can look back over mem ory's reccord and fix their minds upon one act of their lives, either of good or of evil, and reulize that that act has been perennial and fruit-bearing through all their days. That net was the reed germ which lias fixed the nature and quality of all tlie harvests they have since reaped, even down to old age. That act was voluntary on their part—they were tlie sowers; yet who made the seed to take root and grow and yield fruit? That was tlie part enacted by the hand of that Divinity which shapes our ends. We scatter seeds upon our fields und the heat, the moisture and tlie proper conditions of atmosphere necessary for their gemination, growth and fruitful ness are controlled alone by that Divinity which pervades all things spiritual and material. As the devout husbandman goes out to sow, and is careful to sow good seed and of a kind whose harvest he desires to reap, and as lie recognizes tlie fact that he must sow in orde r to reap, and at the same time prays tlie Lord of the harvest to give the increase, so while we sow good acts wo must not forget that a Divinity supplies and controls the con ditions for their germination and growth. As a seed may lie for a long time before germinating, so an evil act may lie dor mant until forgotten by tbe seed sower, and then at some unexpected and un- propitious time spring up and bring forth a full harvest of evil that will poi son and embitter our whole existence. ADVANCEMENT IN MEDICINE. For the Enqulrer-Hun. Science iH compiled experience. Dr. Rush, a great name in his day, founder of one of tlie best medical schools in America, was a combination preacherand physician. One Sunday while in the pulpit almost ready to begin his sermon, he was handed a note in which a request to visit a young lady was made. He picked up a prayer book and Hcribbled this: “Bleed tlie girl; I will see her after service.” In those days, one hundred years ugo, it was considered proper to bleed everybody who fell sick. Blood is simply digested food, and now we seldom seek to rid the body of it. That is a Btride forward. Fever in general, that is, any elevation of temperature, means increased heat production, a sur plus of heat, more heat than is necessary. Fever is no disease in itself, but a symp tom of various diseases. Whenever germs of anykind—as measles, typhoid, scarlatina, scarlet fever, roseola, puerpe ral fever,malaria—enter the human body an irritation of tlie nervou ssystem takes place, and this latter in turn reflects on tlie blood-vessels, causing them to act more rapidly. The result is fever. It is a wonderful phenomenon that the tem perature of tlie body in health remains the same at all altitudes and climates. To reduce fever the over-production must he reduced or the cause must be quieted. The entire laity and some physicians have unlimited confidence in quinine to control fever. In fact, the immensity of their faith cannot be over-estimated. This is wrong. Antipyrin, thafiin and cold baths have about supplanted qui nine in Europe, except for diseases with a malarial origin. St. John, the evan gelist, speaks of twelve trees that grow in the celestial city, the New Jerusalem, whose leaves shall be for the healing of the nations. Doubtless the quinine tree is one of these trees, but only one. It does not take the place of the other eleven and cure all diseases. Aconite and veratrum I omit, as they paralyze the muscle of tlie heart when given in sufficient doses to reduce the temperature to any extent. It were ns rational to suffocate a patient with coal gas to produce insensibility in order to perform a surgical operation as to use large doses of veratrum in fever. Quinine acts best in malarial troubles, and it should only be given in them. It produces a benefical effect in that it en ters the blood and kills tlie malarial germs. Thegrcatest advancement in the past year is, I take it to be, tlie intro duction of antipyrin and thallin. These two substances are produced from coal tar. Like every other medical term ending in in, or inc, it is an arbitrary name. It was baptised chemically tetra liydraparachinanisol. This name, how ever, would be ponderous even for the offspring of chemistry. These substances are in the form of whitish powders, pal atable to the taste and highly efficient. They have completely robbed quinine of its crown. There are still sources of fever other than I have mentioned, as wounds, inflammation,mechanical irrita tion from undigested matter, etc. but what ever the source,fever can he reduced by antipyrin and thallin. They are not ex periments, but have taken permanent root. Salves are only medicine in grease and that grease is generally cosmolln or vaselin, the residue of coal oil. Formerly hog’s lard was only used. Recently a new substance has been introduced to supplant cosmolin, a substance that is more easily absorbed by the skin. This product is the fat from sheep’s wool, and is called lanolin. Ifris a very useful addi tion. Almond oil is often used to rub into tlie skin to increase the flesh. Lanolin takes its place admirably. Lanolin is the only fat that readily unites with water. As a promoter of sleep chloral and the bromides fill an excellent purpose, but they are being shoved back by a substance, urethan, that produces more natural sleep, and atAhe same time it does not depress the heart as do the first named drugs. Urethan is an im provement, and lias come to stay. l’asteur’s efforts at curing hydrophobia are highly commendable, yet it is diffi cult to comprehend his working theory. For a time it was believed that his method was analogous to vaceinatiotv^- give tlie patient a mild form of tlie dis ease. r l'liis, however cannot be true, for Pasteur does not strive to prevent hydro phobia, for the individual that is bitten must have the virus in the system as Hoon as the bite is inflicted. He endeav ors to cure u disease with its own virus. I trust it may lead to other studies in this direction. Preventive medicine, warding off disease we see all along the line. Tlie school for training nurses has its idea in avoiding tlie many complications that jeopardize life. Vaccination, schools for nurses, drainage for towns, exclusion of air from wounds—these are all schemes to keep disease from entering. These ideas are being largely fostered in this modern age, and the hunt for specifics is not so vigorously pursued. Improvement in the use of what we have, attention to de tail and minntia are the watchwords. The beauty of language consists in its lit tle particles, of the human system in its small nerve and arterial fibres, of suc cess in any walk in a knowledge and re gard for the little parts. If Florida should send Geronimo to tlie United States senate he would be an improvement over Jones. Gero would not spend bis entire time in Michigan hunting a hopeless mash. &c OO.
