The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground of the Republic. Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Star. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republ ican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past ithasbeennnswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in our national aflairs, and of continued national tranquility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy the Stab ia the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it “’protective taxation;” the Star’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Star is a great newspaper. Its tone is i urc and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- eqne Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Star is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides tho day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in its col mans, The Weekly Star is a large paper giving the cream of the news tliewirld over, with special features which make it the most complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, tho business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for Jus dollar invested in The Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paigr, and will print, the freshest and most reliable political news.

J. A. W. . Cutes ot Smokers’ Vertigo. I)r. Decaisno is reported as having re¬ cently investigated a number of cases of vertigo in smokers. Out of 03 patients, 49 were between 50 and 66 years of age. More than half of them suffered, in ad¬ dition, from digestive troubles, with con¬ stipation alternating with diarrhoea, in¬ somnia, palpitations, dyspnoea and diuresis. In a third of the number there was marked intermittence of tho puise, and granular pharyngitis, while others suffered from aphthae, amblyopia, etc. Thirty-seven were persons who smoked habitually on an empty stomach; and the§e suffered from vertigo, principally in tho morning. Tho vertigo generally coincided with suppression of perspira¬ the tion and diminished excretion of urine. The treatment consisted mainly in regulating or suppressing the cause, suffer but 33 out of 37 patients ceased to on merely refraining from smoking on an empty stomach.—New York Medical Record. __ Child Labor In Germany. The German laws are as near the ideal os any. Children under 12 cannot bo employed in factories; thbse under 14 must not labor beyond six hours :i vl::y ; those between 14 and 10 may be held to labor ten hours, and no more. They must be allowed all Sundays and all holi¬ days, and regularly one hour at noon, and half an hour in the forenoon and half an hour in the afternoon as resting limes. This law is guarded by provisions so rigid that an American employer would de¬ nounce them as burdensome. Too much cannot be done to prevent the feeding of child life into our machines.—Globe- Democrat . Alpnsnet or Precious Stones.

JUST RECEIVED. C- W. Clark & Son. The Story of a Werewolf. A noblo gentleman of Brittany, in high favor with the king, married a lovely lady. There would have been no limitto their happiness hut that three days out of every week the gentleman mysteriously disappeared. When pressed by his wife for an explanation he confessed that ho was a 13 i sc la ve ret or werewolf, and for three days in the week was condemned to assume a wolf’s shape. Tho lady was sore troubled and determined to rid her¬ self of so objectionable a husband. Learn¬ ing that if the lord's clothes were stolen after the metamorphosis was effected shape, he could not resume his human she and a false cavalier who loved her watched him and got possession of tho castoff garments. As from that day the husband was no iporo seen 6ho married tho cavalier. One day the king was out hunting when a wolf that had been sore pressed by the hounds inado its way to him and looked at him with so pitiful and human an expression that the king’s heart was touched. Ho spared it and brought it homo to liis court. The animal proved gentle and tractable and became a great favorite. But one day when the false cavalier came to court it jumped upon him with a wild cry and bit liira severely. And when some days later the wife claimoil :m audience with the king tho wolf tiew at her, too, and bit off her nose. Swords were drawn and the wolf would have been killed, but that a wise man counseled tho prince to find out first what could lie the reason of the wolfs grudge to the lady and her husband. And, being threatened with imprison¬ ment, tho lady, terrified, confessed all she knew, and when the clothes of her former husband were given to the wolf ho was transformed into human shape and the king rejoiced to recognize his old favorite. The guilty pair were igno- miniously banished. They lijred several .years and find many children, all the girls Vicing bom without noses.— Ameri¬ can Notes and Queries. Plain Lectures oil Ilcalth. If the women’s colleges w ould add to their course of study a series of very plain lectures on the care of health, it would be worth any amount of Anglo- Saxon literature on political economy. Nothing would make a school more popu¬ lar than to supplement such lectures with strict personal care of the habits of each pupil. It would become a “beauty school” in tiie full sense of the word, as celebrated for sending out young ladies with brilliant complexions as Harvard for its athletics. And why is it not as necessary for young ladies to have their faces chased as to have their manners and their grammar corrected? Now, the most high minded and fastidious of Lady Sylvias has a slender body, which works over daily not less than seven pounds of food and drink, or ought to, and throws out no less than fivo pounds of waste by its great ducts, tho bowels and kidneys, and its millions of needle ducts in tho skin. Really this is very terriblo for dis¬ cussion, and I warmly agree with her majesty Victoria in thinking stomaclis entirely unfit for mention to cars polite. But thousands of women are losing beauty and dying of painful disease for want of knowing the full significance of their internal economy and the care they owe it.—Shirley Dare. Puintiiig tho Baby’g Face. A letter from Paris informs us that the doctors are again at war with silly mothers belonging to the fashionable cir¬ cles. The latest fanaticism of La Mode is to apply the horrors of face painting to little children. In the public gardens babies of 3 years old may now be seen whose eyebrows have been blacked or dyed by their senseless mothers. Other anxious parents, distressed at the vul¬ garly ruddy and rustic hue of their chil- dre s cheeks, carefully powder them bef e sending them forth to meet the ga: and criticism of tho world. Little coquettes of 10 years are not permitted to ; o abroad until tho regulation black stroke has been painted beneath their eyes. The doctors warn the mothers that when the children thus barbarously treated reach the ago of 16 they will have a colorless and ruined complexion, to say nothing of the injury to health, which is an argument less likely to pro¬ duce much effect.—Pall Mall Gazette. ln> Arn l!iD ..lliliy tines; After all. what ia luck?
