The ’Possum’s Paw Hoodoo.
“See this ’possum’s paw?” asked a
young negro boy, drawing a glossy paw
from his vest pocket. “Came all the way
from San Francisco on that paw. Hoo-
dooed the trains, the conductors and the
brakemen with it and lived high all the
time. The night I started out of San
Francisco I rubbed the rails with the voo-
doo and then shook it over the conductor’s
right shoulder when he wasn’t looking.
From that minute I had the conductor
under a spell, and he never harmed me
from the time we left San Francisco until
we reached Ogden. But there are a heap
better voodoos than ’possum’s paw. ’Deed
there are. The tail of a black snake will
bring anything you want, while the sec-
ond joint bone df a dead man lays over
’em all for luck. The hind leg of a wild
rabbit is losing its ch^rm. You can’t
scare a crap shooter with a bushel basket
full of ’em, whereas a few years ago the
sight of one paw would be enough to
break up the most interesting game on the
avenue.”—Chicago Herald.
Electrical Heating Stoves.
Electrical heating stoves are being in-
troduced in France, a peculiar feature of
their construction being that the wires are
let through apertures formed in plates of
refractory clay and plumbago. These
plates are not inclosed, but are left ex-
posed, so that the air can circulate very
freely through the apertures, where it
comes in contact’’trith the red hot wires.
Wire bobbins are inserted in the apertures,
each bobbin forming part of the electric
circuit, and all being connected for quan-
tity; the bobbins are heated by the pass-
age of the current, and serve to heat the
air as it passes to and fro over them.—
New York Sun.
The Houston Post says that San Fran-
cisco boasts having three hundred un-
married women, each and every one of
whom is heiress to at least $500,000.
Humph! That’s nothing. Galveston
isn’t a quarter as large as San Francisco
and has at least—but then we don’t care
to have a swarm of young dudes in search
of heiresses swoop down upon us.

Roscoe Conkling’s Charity.
Roscoe Conkling is daily beset with in-
digent lawyers, who look upon the ex-
senator as a sort of animated sub-treas-
ury. He has given them yards of green-
backs, but yesterday he drew the line on
a lawyer who had been a regular customer
for six months or more. Turning to him
Mr. Conkling said: “See here, I’ve given
you enough to support a whole family
£___,_____J____
aside and give somebody else a show. ”—

MORE PATERNAL LEGISLATION.
The Moore insurance bill has passed
the House and will soon engage the at-
tention of the Senate. Boiled down it
prohibits insurance companies from agree-
ing upon rates to be charged, thus doing
away with competition. In the first
place there has never yet been a time in
Texas when all the reliable companies
had agreed upon a certain fixed rate, con-
sequently there has never been a time in
Texas when there was not competition.
In the second place, if this bill becomes a
law and is decided to be constitutional
why not pass a bill prohibiting printers
or any other class of artisans from form-
ing trade unions and agreeing upon a
scale of prices to be charged? Why not
prohibit coal and lumber dealers, grocers
and dry goods merchants, manufacturers
and others from agreeing upon prices to
be charged? Why not assume the man-
agement of every business in the state?
It is well enough for the legislature to
see that railways, built largely at public
expense, do not become extortionate in
their charges, but in the name of all that
is sensible what has the legislature of
Texas got to do with the insurance com-
panies further than to permit them to do
business in the state upon evidence being
produced that they are solvent? This
ridiculous idea that it is the duty of the
state to regulate private as v^ell as public
business is being carried a little too far.
The peeple of Texas are not idiots and it
is not necessary that the legislature should
make it its business to assume the man-
agement of every commercial venture
within our borders.

Slave Hunting in Africa.
There seems to be reason to fear that
slave hunting is again largely on the in-
crease in central Africa. That was, of
course, foretold as a certain consequence
of the abandonment of the Soudan. Now
we hear that the station at Stanley Falls,
on the upper Congo, has been abandoned
under the pressure of Arab hostilities, in-
stigated, it is believed, by the veteran
slave hunter Tippu Tib, whose opera-
tions in this very region have been de-
scribed by Mr. Stanley. That gentleman
came up with a single caravan of 3,300
slaves, mostly women and children; and
he calculates that for every slave caught
six had been killed in the foray. The ter-
rible sufferings of the desert marches,
which the caravans have commonly to
make, cause, of course, a frightful waste
of life. Still the difficulty remains as to
what becomes of these vast droves of hu-
man beings. One gentleman states that
20,000 slaves passed his house on their
way to the east coast in a single year.
The east coast is closely watched by our
ships, and only a chance cargo is sup-
posed to escape their vigilance. 'Where
did the 20,000 go to?—St. James’ Ga-
zette,
First Conqueror of California.
Capt. Cleveland, father of Professor H.
W. S. Cleveland, the well known land-
scape architect, was an adventurous
Yankee navigator, and the story of his life
reads like a romance. During one voyage
he ran his vessel into a Mexican port com-
manded by a blue blooded Spanish hidalgo,
who also controlled a small fort in the
Bay of Santiago. He peremptorily ordered
Capt. Cleveland to leave the place, and afl
the latter was passing the fort a shot was
fired across the prow of his vessel. This
was too much for the patience of the
Yankee captain, and he at once ordered
the three small guns that he carried
turned upon the fort and opened fire. In
about ten minutes the fort was knocked
to pieces and the little Spanish garrison
driven out pell-mell. Subsequently Capt.
Cleveland received a letter from Commo-
dore Biddle, United States navy, asking
him to become governor of California,
and saying that he was justly entitled to
the position because he “was the first
man to conquer the territory.”—Pioneer
Press “Listener.”
I’ve grown rather to like it. Of course
the spying is not always going on, al-
though the company by its monthly report
to its employes tries to make us believe
that we are never out of the sight of the
special agents.”
“Is there much chance for a Pullman
conductor to rob the company?’ ’
“There are not very many opportuni-
ties. Here is one; it occurred on the last
trip I made. The Jpretty woman whom I
pointed out to you as a special agent had
a lower berth. The upper berth was not
taken. After we had gotten out a few
miles on our journey she called to me and
asked me to fold up the upper berth, to
give her the entire stateroom, in fact.
According to the rules of the company
this could only be done on the payment of
$2.50. I told the lady so. ‘Oh,’ she
said, with a beseeching look at me, ‘you
wouldn’t charge me that.’ I replied that
I was sorry, but I couldn’t make the
change for a penny less. She tried to
persuade me, but I wouldn’t give in.
Then she carried the war into Africa, but
I whispered a word to the colored porters
and they resisted the smiles and even the
$1 which the lady offered. I know she’s
put out with me, and she’ll paint my pro-
fane spell in very bad colors, I know,
when she reports it. A conductor who
did not know he was dealing with a
special agent accepted a reduction on th®
regular tariff, and got his discharge be-
fore his next trip came round.
“I rather like some of the results of the
special agent system. If it does not keep
some of us out of temptation, it at least
renders us invulnerable in a great de-
gree. ”—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Novelties in Paris.
A short time since youthful innovators
of the exquisite order in Paris thought it
extremely pschutt to wear red ties. Then
came the hats with flat brims, and last
year it was even the fashion among some
swells to wear small tufts in their hats
containing brilliants which sparkled from
afar. In the latest mode a scarf pin tipped
with electric light is the novelty.—New
York Sun.
How the ■‘•Little Breaks are Reported at
Headquarters—The Detective Service a
Very Perfect One—Spotting the Spotter.
Good Results.
A brunette, plump, petite and pretty,
with something of the feerless freedom of
an actress about her, was one of the first
passengers to board the Chicago limited
at the Union depot a night or two ago.
Many eyes followed the trim figure, and
many masculine hearts envied the col-
ored porter who held her arm for a
moment as she climbed into the car. A
reporter would not have noticed the lady,
for pretty women are not unusual sights
in the depot, had she not been pointed out
to him in New York three years ago as a
wonderfully clever detective in Pinker-
ton’s service. As the reporter was talk-
ing to a Pullman car conductor a few
minutes later, the attractive lady passen-
ger came out on the front platform of the
car. Nodding his head toward her, the
conductor said :
“There’s my shadow. She was a faith-
ful one all yesterday, as faithful as she is
pretty. I should have flattered myself
that she was kind of sweet on me, if I had
not been told by a porter who recognized
her who she is.”
BRIGHT BROWN EYES.
“Then you know her calling?”
“Certainly; she’s a detective, a spy, one
of the agents of the secret service of the
Pullman Car company. Those bright
bright brown eyes of hers watched me
during a trip of about 500 miles, they
watched the porters and they kept
a lookout for the passengers as well.
I’ll bet that she could give a pretty ac-
curate account of everything we did for
those twelve hours. I remember I used
pretty strong language to a thick headed
porter early on the journey before I dis-
covered her ladyship. At the end of the
month I shall receive a report from head-
quarters notifying me that on such a day
and on such a train I used bad language,
and warning me not to do it again. Every
little break a conductor makes is recorded,
and he is told all about it at the end of
the month. The conductor who commits
any serious indiscretion or puts money
into his own pockets instead of the com-
pany’s, and the secret service agent sees
the act, has to get down and out very
suddenly.”
“The detective service is a very perfect
one, then?”
“Yes, as perfect as any other part of
the Pullman Car company’s system.
Until a few weeks ago the detectives were
called inspectors. That title has been
abolished, and the ladies and gentlemen
who so kindly wait upon the conductors
like angels unawares are now known as
special agents. They are numerous, but
exactly how many of them there are of
course I don’t know. Nobody but the
highest executive officials are supposed to
know who these agents are. I know a
dozen or so by sight, most of them men.
They travel in all sorts of shapes. They
buy their railroad tickets and purchase
their berths in sleepers just like the rest
of the world. In every way possible their
true identity is shielded and suspicion di-
verted from them.
SPOTTING THE SPOTTER.
“Yet the conductor who is unable to
spot the spotter is the exception. You
catch a pair of eyes looking at you a little
too attentively; you detect a touch of the
pump handle in a casual conversation, and
then before your mind has hardly had
time to lead you to any conclusion you
find yourself given over to the pleasant
occupation of watching your shadow. A
new man, and I suppose a dishonest man,
will not enjoy the idea of always being
Improved Fire Alarm.
A mechanic in Louisville, Ky., thinks
that he has invented an apparatus which
will discourage the giving of false alarms
of fire. His appliance is a pair of mag-
netic nippers which grab by the wrist the
man who turns in the alarm, and hold him
at the box until the arrival of the fire de-
partment. The man who turns in the
alarm can be released only by the firemen,
who are supplied with keys which turn off
the current, when the magnet relaxes its
grip.—New York Sim.
A New Metal.
A mine owner near near Sheridan, M.T.,
reports the discovery of a new metal. It
carries considerable gold in places, but the
latter cannot be separated from the
strange material by any process of work-
ing gold ores. The mineral when melted
is as white as silver, but much harder.—,/ a,

Preservation of the Dead.
Edward I, who died in 1807, was found
not decayed 463 years subsequently. The
flesh on the face was a little wasted, hut
not putrid. The body of Canute, who died
in 1017, was found fresh in 1766. Those
of William the Conqueror and his wife
were perfect in 1522. In 1569 three Roman
soldiers, in the dress of their country, fully
equipped with arms, were dug out of a
peat mass near Aberdeen. They were
quite fresh and plump after a lapse of
about 1,500 years.
In 1717 the bodies of Lady Kilsyth and
her infant were embalmed. In 1796 they
were found as perfect as in the hour they
were embalmed. Every feature and limb
was full. The infant’s features were as
composed as if he had only been asleep for
eighty years. His color was as fresh and
his flesh as plump and full as in the per-
fect glow of health. The smile of infancy
and innocence was on his lips. At a little
distance it was difficult to distinguish
whether Lady Kilsyth was alive or dead.
The question is: What preservative was
used, and how applied?—Gaillard’s Med-
ical Monthly.
Reading and Thought.
For every hour of reading two hours

was not strong in individuality.—Denver

Wm. Ed. Robson, M. D., L. R. C. S. '
I., M. K. Q. C. P. I., late of the Royal 1
Navy, of England, has got into profes- 1
sional trouble for writing the following
open letter to the editor of the London
Family Doctor: ']
“I believe it to be the duty of every 1
physician to make known any means or
remedy whereby sickness can be prevent- :
ed, and it is for this purpose I write to :
give my experience both here and abroad.
I ask the publication of the statement
that people may be warned before it is
too late, to say to them that there is at
hand a means by which they may be re-
stored to perfect health. It is well known
to the medical world, and indeed, to the
laity, that a certain disease is making a
terrible havoc; that next to consumption 1
it is the most fatal, and that when fully
developed there is nothing to be done for
the sufferer.”
“Physicians and scientists have long
been trying to throw light upon the
cause, and if possible, find in nature a
medicine for this fatal malady. They
have shown absolutely, that the blood
purifying organs of vital importance, are
the kidneys, and that when they once
fail, the poison which they should take
out of the blood is carried by the blood
into every part of the body, developing
disease.”
“Ih my hospital practice in England,
India and South America, and also while
a surgeon in the Royal Navy of Great
Britain, I gave a great deal of attention
to the study of diseases of the kidneys
and urinary organs, and found that not
only was the cure of chronic Bright’s
Disease hopeless, but that kidney disease
was remarkably prevalent; much more so
than generally known, and was the cause
of the majority of cases of sickness, and
further, that the medical profession has
no remedy which exerts any absolute
control over these organs in disease.”
“Some time ago when I had a case
which resisted all regular treatment—
which is very limited—complicated with
the passing of stones from the kidneys,
much against my will I permitted my
patient to use Warner’s Safe Cure, of
which I had heard marvel ms results. In
his case the result was simply marvelous,
as the attack was a severe one, and de-
velopment very grave, for an analysis
showed per cent of albumen and granu-
lar tube casts.”
“The action of the medicine was sin-
gular and incomprehensible to me. I had
never seen anything like it. The patient
recovered promptly, and is to-day a well
and healthy man. This stimulated my
inquiry into the merits of the remedy,
and after analysis I found it to be of
purely vegetable character, harmless to
take under all circumstances.”
“Casting aside all professional prejudice
1«■> “™ou"h «“’> “1 "”s “"*■
•r.—----—4* r\e —jous that my patients should be restored
to health, no matter by what medicine.
I prescribed it in a great variety of cases,
Acute, Chronic, Bright’s Disease, Con-
gestion of the Kidneys, Catarrh of the
Bladder, and in every instance did it
speedily effect a cure.”
“For this reason I deem it my duty to
give to the world this statement regard-
ing the value of Warner’s safe cure. I
make this statement on facts I am pre-
pared to produce and substantiate. I
appeal to physicians of large practice who
knowhow common and deceptive diseases
of the kidneys are, to lay aside profes-
sional prejudice, give their patients War-
nei’ssafe cure, restore them to perfect
health, earn their gratitude, and thus be
true physicians.”
“I am satisfied that more than one-half
of the deaths which occur in England are
caused, primarily, by impaired action of
the kidneys, and the consequent retention
in the blood of the poisonous uric and
kidney acid. Warner’s safe cure causes
the kidneys to expel this poison, checks
the escape of albumen, relieves the in-
flammation and prevents illness from im-
paired and impoverished blood. Having
had more than seven een years’ experience
in my profession, I conscientiously and
emphatically state that I have been able
to give more relief and effect more cures
by the effect of Warner’s safe cure than
by all the other medicines ascertainable
to the profession, the majority of which,
I am sorry to say, are very uncertain in
their action.”
“Isn’t that a sLaightforward, manly
letter?”
“Indeed it is.”
“Well, but do you know the author
has been dreadfully persecuted for writ-
ing it?”
“How so? What has he done to merit
it?”
‘ Done? He has spoken the truth ‘out
of school’ and his fellow physicians, who
want the public to think they have a
monopoly in curing diseases, are terribly
angry with him for admitting professional
inability to reach certain disorders.”
“That letter created a wonderful sen-
sation among the titled classes and the
public. This jarred the doctors terribly.
The College of Surgeons and Queen’s
College, from which institution he was
graduated, asked for an <

him that unless he made a retraction they
would discipline him.
“Tne doctor replied that he allowed
his patients to make use of Warner’s safe
cure only after all the regular methods
had failed, and when he was satisfied
that there was no possible hope for them.
Upon their iccovery, after having used
Warner’s safe cure, he was so much sur-
prised that he wrote the above letter to
the Family Doctor. He regretted that
the faculties found fault, with his action
in the matter, but he could not, conscient-
iously retract the facts as written to the
Family Doctor.
“The faculties of both colleges replied
that unless he retracted they should cut
him off, which would naturally debar
him from again practicing his profession,
and also prevent his securing another ap-
pointment in the Royal Navy!”
The illustrious doctor’s dilemma is
certainly an unpleasant one, emphasiz-
ing, as it does, both his own honesty,
and the contemptible prejudice and
bigotry of English medical men. The
masses, however, having no sympathy
with their nonsense, keep on using the
remedy, he so highly recommends and get
well, while the rich and able depend
upon the prejudiced doctors and die!

I have had blood poison for tan years. I know I have taken one hundred bottles of
iodide of potash in that time, but it did me no good. Last summer my face, neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and I could scarcely use my arms on account si rheu-
matism in my shoulders. I took S. S. S., and it has done me mere good than all other medi-
cines I have taken. My face, body and neck are perfectly clear and clean and my rheu-
matism is entirely gone. I weighed 116 pounds when I began the medicine, and I now weign.
152 pounds. My first bottle helped me greatly, and gave me an appetite like a strong man.
