THE -ELIXIR OF LIFE."
Dr. Brown-Sequard, of Paris,
who occupies a very prominent
position in the scientific world,
claims to have discovered that a
preparation of selected portions of
the rabbit or guinea pig may be so
administered "as to keep a man
twenty or thirty years younger
than he really is."
This claim of Dr. Sebuard's has
been laughed at and ridiculed by
physiologists and physicians gen
erally, but Dr. William Hammond,
of Washington, D. C, now comes
to the French doctor's assistance
Dr. Hammsnd made an experi
ment, it is said. He took selected
portions of a lamb preferring that
type of vitality to the rabbit or
guinea pig and after pounding it
in a mortar mixed it with . water
and filtered the compound through
fine Swiss filtering paper. His
patient, 60 years old, whose arm
had been paralyzed for a year, re
covered the use of that limb after
using one injection of Dr. Ham
mond's mixture. The learned in
vestigator modestly admits that
this single instance does not es
tablish the scientific truth of Dr.
Brown-Sequard's theory, but he is
inclined to acceps it as affording a
strong presumption in its favor.
Of course these experiments
will arouse considerable interest,
but we are not inclined to place
any faith in the ''Elixir of Life"
until these physicians have estab
lished many more instances where
men's youth has been restored.
There are many old women in
this country who can tell of their
wonderful cures by applying ; a
red herring to the heel of a boot
worn by a man whose arms were
paratyzed with rheumatism. Dr.
Hammond's and Dr. Sequard's
cures are about on a parallel with
the old women's. Ex. - '

GENERAL RERAIRING a Specialty,
Work Warranted. Opposite, Spencer's barber shop, CORVALUS, OR
A DEMOCRATIC BLUFF.
John L. Sullivan whose foul and
loathsome crime consists of punch
ing a professional brother with his
fists in a prize ring, has been held
under bonds of $2,000 to appear
for trial for violating ' the laws of
the state of Mississippi. Governor
Lowry, boiling over with indigna
tion, and determined that the full
penalty of the law should be
visited upon ; the man who so
grossly insulted the people and
outraged the' laws of that state,
has pursued this graceless offender
with ceaseless vigor, until he now
has ihe satisfaction of knowing
that he is within his grasp. True,
the arrest and conviction will cost
the people of the state of Mississ
ippi several thousand dollars, but
peace and dignity must be main
tained and justice satisfied.
Since Gov, Lowry has occupied
Mississippi's gubernatorial chair
there have occurred in that state
numerous political murders and
outrages which the governor has
not even protested . against; but
Governor 'Lowery evidently draws
the line at prize fighting. It may
be possible, however, that the gov
ernor, by his relentless pursuit of
Sullivan Sullivan traveling open
ly the entire time wishes to sig
nify an intention to punish all
lawbreakers from this time on. If
this be true he deserves much
praise, and his past actions can be
partially overlooked. But we
venture to predict that in Mississ
ippi, as well as other southern
states, the regular butchery of re
publican ; voters at the next
election will take place. There is
but little doubt that his pursuit of
the fighter was a "bluff." How
ever,' but few northern people
will place any , confidence in
Governor Lowry's sincerity, and
will continue to demand protec
tion for republicans in the south.

FAIR PLAY.
Ah, husband, do not scold your wife
And make her poor heart ache,
Because she can't build pies like those
Your mother used to make.
That is, Unless you're quite prepared.
To see the whole thing througn,
And bny her hats and dresses as
Her father used to do.
A VERY PLEASING SIGHT.
She's fairer than a lilly,
And she's sweeter than a rose ;
And she knocks the neighbors silly
When she wields the garden hose.
She lifts her skerts from danger
With her left hand, while her right '
Grasps the nozzle, and the stranger
Gets a very pleasing sight.
The neighbors' eyes all twinkle
And their interest daily grows.
For they like to see her sprinkle
And they line to see the hose.
An Amateur's Holiday.
It was a beautiful day in De
cember, and the air had a crisp-
ness in it which made one's blood
tingle. I was in the midst of some
frightfully tangled work. I had
tugged at it with desperate ear
nestness, or rather earnest desper
ation, but it was obstinate, and
would not allow a single ray ol
daylight to penetrate. My brain
felt as if it were slowly undergoing
ossification, with the process pretty
well advanced. As I stood look
ing out of my window, which
commands a view of the Jersey
hills, I felt an undefinable draw
ing. "Perhaps," I said to myself,
and then I cast my eyes inquiringly
on the tripod. That too seemed
to say "perhaps," and my camera
really looked as though it were
languishing for "a day out." So I
at once set about packing up, not
enthusiastically, but with a feeling
that I must have a change in order
to stop this transmutation of my
brain into molten lead. Half an
hour afterward I was on the Wee
hawken ferry-boat
I had somehow got the impres
sion that at Weehawken I could
take the cars 'up i the river the
present station, had not been built
for a dozen miles or so, but I
soon found out my mistake. I
made inquiries, and found that
there was no station and no rail
road, and that I had wandered in
to a section of Deutchland. . Not
even a condemned vessel was in
sight on which to try my "pren
tice hand," nor a specially ragged
urchin to grin at ine while I took
his picture. Here was a dilemma
indeed. Shanties there were, but
they were dieadfully common
place. In my desire I sought in
formation in a beer saloon, which
seemed to be so filled by a levithan
of a woman and an ichthyosaurus
of a man that there was hardly
.. . . . . i 'mi
room tor me to sit aown. iiiey
paid no sort of attention to me at
first, regarding me perhaps as a
pedler wanting to barter his wares
for Schweizerkase and Schwarzes
Brod.
"Is there any stable near by?" I
ventured to ask. :
"Nein," replied ; the Leviathan,
in a voice which seemed to say that
I was in good condition to be
served up as Kalbfleich. . :
"But," 1 persisted, : "isn't there
a horse in this region I can hirel"
"Only one, and he ist," mine,"
answered she.
"Could you have him tackled up,
and convey me to the nearest rail
way station?" I asked. -
"Yah," very ..deliberately; "per
'aps." '
"How much?"
Sho looked at me, wondering
whether I was pedler , or prince,"
and then, as though 6he had struck
an average, replied, : "Two .: tol
lar." "Children Cry '
Pitcher's Castoria
"Good! Fetch him along, and
I'll be off."
The boy driver and I reached
Schuetzen Park in due time, travel
ing the dreariest road, and mean
dering through acres of swamp.
"Good place for fever and chills,"
I suggested.
The little sphinx at my side
gave the horse a resounding blow
with his whip and simply answered,
"You bet.?'
When we reached the park I
persuaded the youth lo stand at
the horse's head, and in a few
minutes I had a picture of the
funniest boy,
and the most
imaginable.
Then came
jects. I saw
the largest horse,
dilapidated wagon
the hunt for
sub-
a group of' men
standing on the platform of the
station-house, so I brought my
lens to bear on them, and cried
out, with true professional em
phasis "Gentlemen, one instant, if you
please."
One, two, three, and the work
is done. "Thanks, gentlemen;"
and I began to pack up.
Then I took a bit of winding
road, at a point where two arching
trees interlaced their branches,
and it was no sooner done thon up
came a troop of wild, laughing
girls from the silk factory on their
wav to lunch. They gathered
about me like so many bees.
"Shall I take you, girls?" I
asked.
Such a screaml and off they
scampered. The feminine gender,
however, has peculiarities which
no mere man can - comprehend,
and in a few minutes they came
rushing back, stoooV together in a
very pretty group, and said in
chorus. "Mister, you may."' Of
course I complied.
By this time I was tired,
healthily and gloriously tired.
The sun was bright, the air was
brisk and fresh, and the appetite,
which had been dormant, began
to resemble that of. the Ursus
Americanus in the spring, after
winter's hibernation. My whole
interior being moral, physical
intellectual began to feel the
effects of the tramp and the new
experience, and I almost renewed
my youth. I am assured that a
photographic apparatus, with its
delightful allurements, is a more
valuable possession than Aladdin's
lamp, or an ounce vial of the
alchemist's elixir vita?. .Well, I
had just one dry plate left. I was
wondering what I should do next,
when I heard a voice behind me,
attuned to the true Celtic ac
cent "Say, misther, say, misther!"
I turned to find a youngish wo
man, meanly clad, but with a
bright gleam in her eye and great
eagerness in every feature. ' "
"Well, my good woman, what is
it?"".
She summoned ' all her resolu
tion, and while the blood mantled
her cheek, she askedj with an out
burst of motherly affection,
"Misther, fill ' ye take me
baby?"
I confessed to being touched, by
the pathos ol that appeal. I had
suddenly come into contact with a
genuine bit of the best kind of
human nature. Of course I melted
at once.
"It will give me great pleasure,
madam, to take a picture of your
baby," I answered.
She actually cantered on her
way back to th-s shanty which the
husband and child had converted
into a home. . One thing,; however.
and a very important one, she ; had
altogether forfijotten." 7 It did not
oeciir to her. so' itreat was her
- ------ - . V
eagerness, until she nearly reached '
the house, and then she came to it- -stand-still
as suddenly as- tbotrgb
she had run against a stone walL
I felt in my heart that some1
strange contingency had arisen,
and the : feeling was confirmed
when, with pathetic tremulousraessy
she cried out,
"Mishter, how much will it be?"
The desire to have the picture
of that "baby': had partly crowded
out the fact that this is a merce
nary world. I determined that
the mercenary side should not be
visible, on this occasion at kast, so
I screamed back,
"Nothing, madam, nothing st
all." She started once move into ther
canter, but I heard her say, "Thank
God, chape enough'." and I chuckl
ed to myself at being taken for at
professional seeking the dimes
and quarters of poor people,
I took both, mother and child,
and the picture is one of my best,
and also one of my most valuable5
souveemrs ol travel.
When I reached my study in
town I was thoroughly worn out
and jaded. The sun had dissap
peared below the Jersey hill
which made my horizon line, and
I was gloriously and refreshingly
used up, with a five hours' jaunt-;
behind me. I had a good story to
tell my friends who called in ther
evening, six pictures which I
wouldn't part with for money, and
the precious memory of a happy
mother's lace. The fresh air was?
in my lungs, and that night I slept
the sleep of a man who had done
his duty to his fellows and him
self. When I wrestled with the
tangled problem, the next morning,
I was surprised to find that it
was not so much of a problem after
all.
I have but one bit of advice for
all men of sedentary habits, viz-,
go and do likewise.
FARM LIFE IN CHINA
A farmer may be hired by the
year for from eight to fourteen!
dollars, with food, clothing, head
shaving and tobacco. These who
work by the day receive from eight
to ten cents, with a noonday meal.
At the planting and harvesting of
rice wages are from ten to twenty
cents a day, with five meals, or
thirty cents a day without food.
Few land owners hire hands ex
cept for a few days during the

prietors to clansmen whose de
scendants now till it, paying from
seven to fourteen dollars- worth
of rice annually for its use. Food
averages little niore than one dol
lar a month for each member of a
farmer's family. . One who buys,
cooks and eats his meal alone,
spends from one dollar and a half
to two dollars a month upon the
raw material and5' fuel. Two
pounds of rice, costing three and
