The hair of tha Angora goat may
be of three kinds, straight, wavy or
in ringlets. The atralght mohair
U often very fine and commands
the highest p'Ue on, tbe market,
but the quantity of it in a fleece ia
o much ltss that it ia not the moat
proSUble kind to raiae. Where
a fleece of straight or wavy mohair
might weigh two or three pounds
and sail for 40 cents a pound,
jCateeofthe ringlet mohair would
probably weigh seven or eight
pounds and Bell lor 35 cents a
pound. Naturally the latter would
be more profitable, aa the two ani
taala would require practically the
time care and feeding throughout
in Turkev many of
the goats are of the straight
haired type; but U is well known
to the trade that the fleeces
from Turkey are not nearly so
hear as those from South Africa,
where they make a busineM of
breeding for the ringlet fleece. To
how what can be done by careful
breeding, a three-year-old buck
with" a ringlet fleece of thirteon
month's growth sheared seventeen
and a half pounds of assorted mo
hair, besides about a pound and a
half of tags. WoolMarket.

Recent experiment conducted bv moat
eminent scientists, prove that light is a
great remedial agent ; it is essentially
Nature's agent, it may be either sun
light or electric light, but it haa a de
cided effect in helping nature to banish
disease and restore health. Other scien
tific men have proved that oiygen elec
trifies the heart and can prolong life.
The people on this earth are susceptible
to some laws which govern plant life. A
Slnnt cannot be anrcesafuUT grown in the
ark. A man is seldom healthy and strong
who Hres in the dark or in antiles rooms.
After all, Nature ways are found to be
thp best. Nnturr's remedies are always
bent for eradicating disease, and by this we
mean a medicine made of roots and herbs.
They are assimilated in the stomach and
taken no by the blood and are, therefore.
the moat potent meana which can be em
ployed for the retaining of lost health.
Dr. R. V. Fierce, consulting- physician to
the invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, N. Y.. in many years of exten
sive practice, found that he could pin his
fuith to an alterative extract of certain
lauta aat roots fur tba ear of all blood
iseasea. This he called Dr. Pierce's
Oolden Medical Discovery. Containing no
aicohol nor narcotic, entirely vcgetaoict
this "Discovery " makes rich red blood anu
is a powerful tisane-builder, frivavK the tired
business maa or woman renewed strength
and health. Rapidly growing school girls
and boya often show lntpoverUhed blood
by the pimples or bolls which appear on
face or neck. To eradicate the poisons
from the blood, aad feed the heart, lungs
and stomach oa pore blood, nothing ia
so good aa Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Don't allow tho dealer to insult your in
telligenre by offering his own blood rem-
edy to ron instead: of this well knowa
preparation of Dr. Pierce's. Ten chances
to one he will substitute a cheap compound
having a large percentage of alcohol in it.

It ia not always eusy to deter
mine when tho spark of life haa be
come finally extinfruiNhed. From
llio fenr of being buried alive, which
pr'vails more ahrnud than in this
rountry, some infallible criterion of
death, capable of U-inu applied by
tint tiifkilled, has ln-n considered a
deaidi-rution, and valuable prizes
have been offered for such a discov
ery. The conditions motit resembling-
actual death are syncoj;, as
phyxia and trance, particularly the
loiter. We must not rely solely on
any ono in of death, but combine
several.
The most reliable sipn of death
U cessation of tho heart's action.
This, however, must not bo inferred
from mcro pulselessness, for the
heart may still bo beating and resus

bo felt in the arteries by ordinary
manipulation. The use oi the steth

course, let-nnicai sain, inougn in
heart cannot cease to beat for more
than ten seconds without death, ye
in considering the very slow and Ice
ble action of the heart (eight to ten
beat ncr minute) in hibernating an
imals, which normally have a pulxe
of eighty to ninety per minute, it is
well to regard a simUar position as
nossible in man and to spend in
doubtful cases tip to an Lour in aus
miration.
An easy method to determine
whether tho circulation continues or
not is to annlv a ligature on a fin
ger or toe. If the circulation has
ceased no change ia color is pro
duced, but if the circulation contin
ties, however feebly, the extremity
in course of a few minutes will as
sumo a livid tint from strangulntion
of the venous flow. The respiration
may not be very obvious, and yet it
may be iroing on. Homing a com mir
ror before the mouth and nostrils
and looking for indications of mois
lure is a means of ascertaining
whether air currents exist. Placing a
cup of water on the chest and ob
serving whether the reflection on ita
surface moves or remains still is
well adapted for the purpose in
view. Brooklyn lagle.

There is a certain small boy in
town whose table manners are not
tho best. He grips his fork as if
afraid it might get away from mm

pitchfork. Reproaches and en
treaties on tho part of his parents
seem of no avail, especially if the
lad ia hunirrv. His big sister's

HEAL DEBATING I'OWEIl IS A GIFT as brilliant aa it is use
ful. It does not consist in elaborate effort, in the length of tho sjH-ech,
in superiority of logic, graco of diction or rhetorical finifib. Any or
all of these may prove a detriment, though with tho master they are
tools to be utd OR NOT, as tho occasion may require, ilany a
massivo structure which the orator haa spent hours in erecting has
been demolished and has buried its author under ita ruins by tho
dynamite of a ten minute speech. Legijd.itures fear boroa and resent
pedagogues. They love good fighters and 1IAIID HITTERS. Like
veteran troops, they do not want to be instructed, but to be led.
They may sleep through a ponderous oration of Charles Sumner
and rise with delight to greet an incisive sarcasm of Thaddeus Ste
vens. There are occasions when a labored effort is NECESSARY to
outline or defend a policy or to appeal to the party or the country.

THE WORLD IS NOT GROWING WORSE
By RABBI JOSEPH KRAUSKOPf ef Philadelphia
UCII fault ia found by pessimists with the morals of
the present day. That there is ground for complaint
I would be the last to deny. I know of the laxities
that are tolerated even in the so called BEST SO
CIETY. I know of the vices that fester uncontrolled
on the very surface of the fashionable world.
But I also know that in all the centuries that civilized man has
lived upon the earth THEEE HAS NEVER BEEN" AX AGE
in wnicn the moral sense was so deeply
ROOTED AXD AS WIDELY DD7FUSED AS AT THE
PRESENT TIME.
m. t at
Never in the history of man have human, rights been regarded as
so sacred and human possessions as so inviolable. Never before hare
nations been so fearful of waging cruel war and shedding innocent
blood. Never before have nations been so powerfully swayed by
THE POWER OF RIGHT. By that power have whole empires
m our day been made to tremble, and vast armies -have been made
to cower.
Never before have the poor and the weak stood as protected under
the agis of the law as at the present time. Never before have such
liberal provisions been made for healing the sick, for sheltering the
aged and infirm, for caring for the orphans, for educating the ig
norant, guiding the straying, lifting the fallen. Never before has
love held so large a place IN THE CORRECTION OF THE DE
FECTIVE and in the education of the young. Gone is the pillory,
the torture chamber, the stake. The rod has disappeared from our
schoolrooms and the cat-o'-nine-tails from our homes.
NEVER BEFORE HAS WOMAN WALKED THE WAY OF LIFE AS
SHIELDED AND AS HONORED; NEVER BEFORE HAVE HER GOO
GIVEN RIGHTS BEEN SO FREELY GRANTED HER, NOR HAS SHE EVER
BEFORE WIELDED SO VAST AN INFLUENCE IN THE UPLIFT OF
MAN AND IN THE MORALIZATION OF SOCIETY AS AT THE PRES
ENT TIME.
THE PERIL OF DISFRANCHISEMENT
By Dr. FELIX ADLER
T
mm
HE attempt has often been made in history in Greece
and elsewhere to establish a democracy on the basis
of slaverv, or of PERMANENT INFERIORITY. It
i ... .
has never succeeded. It was a wise instinct an instinct
of self preservation which dictated to our states the
policy of rapidly assimilating EVEN THE IGNORANT elements
that came to us from foreign shores. We have gone, perhaps, too
far in that direction. The wholly ignorant, the illiterate, the utterly
unqualified, should be excluded, but coupled with such exclusion
should always be the proviso that IT CAN ONLY BE TEM
PORARY. If the lessons of history afforded by the example of
other nations should be forgotten, if in the case of the colored people
or of any other section of our people the attempt should be made to
create a permanently inferior and disfranchised class, OUR DOOM
AS A REPUBLIC IS SEALED. The problem is in this sense a
national one. Our own political liberties are at stake not the wel
fare of the negro alone, but our welfare as a people.
WE RI PARTIES IN INTEREST, WE OF THE NORTH. WE
MAY NOT, THEREFORE, STAND ASIDE. IT IS OUR RIGHT AS WELL
AS OUR DUTY TO BE HEARD.
