Guessing at the Twentieth Century Chicago Times An article in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat gathers together a number of guesses | by sanguine speculators upon the question or questions of the twentieth century and their solutions. We are told that we shall have telegraphing and electric lighting without wires. That boats of aluminum, propelled by successive discharges of dynamite capsules, will navigate the air. That the development of rapid transit will make our cities a small core with a twenty, thirty or hundred mile reach of suburbs. Human life will be prolonged on the average ten years more than at present by the complete harnessing of the bacillus. A new anæsthetic safer than chloroform will make surgery an exact science. All the railroads and canals will be managed by the State. Coöperation will become an exact science and every workingman will be his own capitalist, and so on and so on throughout the perfunctory dream which each seer dreams who has a problem of this kind set for him, and who knows that there is demanded of him a solution along certain well-defined lines. He may dream, but he must dream according to the plans and specifications set for him, or he is guilty of breach of contract. Some men, perhaps, look for very different things out of the twentieth century than all this happy progress and elevation. Europe THINK OF IT. absolutely trembles under the tread of her standing armies. At no time since history began has there been so much capital or so many men employed in prospective wholesale murder. The greatest war has yet to be fought out, and fewer soldiers, badly equipped, drenched the continent with blood in the seventeenth century for thirty years. In the Old World and the New the cause of labor vs. capital is coming on to be tried. Look where we will, in the churches, in the cities, in the nations, there are symptoms that the pendulum of which Herbert Spencer wrote so eloquently is about to begin its downward swing. The decadence may be but a passing phase. Corruption and misgovernment may be less threatening now than they were in 649 or 1780. Industrially, certainly the world never was so strong-and never so weak. We are making machines that do the work of ten men, and each ten men whose work is done are added units to the awful total industrial discontent. There are unhealthy symptoms in our culture, our art and our society. But there are healthy ones also. The moral fiber of the people is sound and there are signs that its conscience and its vigilance are being aroused. Municipal cesspools are being cleaned. Bad men are being driven out of office. Genuine work is being done. The twentieth century, after all, will dawn upon a world very much like that which the nineteenth opened upon. 1,546,842 Papers Published Annually!

Anent Our Removal Wheeling Intelligencer: PUBLIC OPINION, that admirable publication which gleans the world of thought for busy people, has outgrown Washington and will hereafter make its home in New York. PUBLIC OPINION has been a great success in spite of repeated failures on a similar line. New Orleans Times-Democrat: PUBLIC OPINION is a weekly journal in which press opinions and news are admirably set forth and condensed, and which ought to receive the support of all who desire to keep fully posted on what is going on in this country, and the world at large. Northwestern Lumberman, Chicago: The office of that vehicle and epitome of the published current thought of the day, PUBLIC OPINION, has been removed to New York. The new position in the metropolis doubtless will be an advantage to that very interesting publication. New York Evening Post: PUBLIC OPINION has transferred its publication office to New York, with, we should suppose, a gain rather than a loss in efficiency and freshness of compilation from the press utterances of the day. Morning Star (Cath.), New Orleans: PUBLIC OPINION is one of the best weekly journals published and contains news from all over the world picked from the very best papers and so condensed that one may keep thoroughly informed as to what is going on day by day. We wish our esteemed contemporary the success it so richly deserves in its new quarters. Then and Now CORNELIA KANE Rathbone, in Harper's Bazar Strong, tender hands, fond hands! Old, feeble hands, dear hands! Soft folded they await the will That soon shall bid them lie more still. Philadelphia Telegraph: Joshua Barstow, said to be the oldest printer in the United States, died in Norwich, Conn., recently. He was born in Preston City in 1809, learned his trade on the Norwich Weekly Courier, and then went to New York City. He made the acquaintance of Horace Greeley at the case, and was employed on the New Yorker and later on the Tribune. Mr. Greeley intrusted his editorial matter to him very often, as he was perfectly familiar with Greeley's handwriting. Mr. Barstow in 1864 enlisted in the 18th Pennsylvania Regiment of Infantry. At the close of the war he became a compositor on the Norwich Bulletin, and later in Pennsylvania ran several country printing shops. In 1888 he became an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, in Maine, but since 1891 resided in Norwich. DR. HUNTER'S I will now tell you how consumption is contracted, in what way it may be prevented, and the treatment by which it can be cured. It is caused by minute rod-shaped bacteria, called bacilli, which prey upon the lung tissues and produce that diseased condition which we call tuberculosis, or consumption. Where do these germs come from? They are and have been from the beginning a part of the natural atmosphere and were created and endowed with their powers for good or ill by the Divine Architect of all life. They are ubiquitous-that is to say, exist everywhere. Professor Tyndall, of London, has proved by exhaustive tests that they are as prevalent in the air, on the tops of the highest Swiss mountains, as in the rural districts of England. They exist as living mites or atoms, and play an important part in the economy of nature by carrying away all dead and diseased matters. The air is filled with countless millions of germs of infinite variety. The particular germ that causes consumption is one of these natural denizens of the atmosphere, and we breathe them with every breath we draw from birth to old age with perfect impunity, so long as our membranes are kept in good health. Then how, if these germs are the real cause of consumption and they exist in the atmosphere of all climes, can anyone escape the disease? Because before they can attack or do any injury to our lungs, a raw and diseased surface must first be produced in them. On that raw surface they fasten, as flies do on a sore, and grow and multiply into fully fledged bacteria by devouring the exposed lung tissues. The God of Nature protected the tubes and cells of our breathing organs by a delicate membrane called the EPITHEThe Wealth Makers, Lincoln, Neb.: PUBLIC OPINION LIUM, which lines and effectually guards is a truly ideal publication of its kind. Our readers them against all germ life, just as the who wish to read all sides and watch the drift of pub-external surface of the body is guarded by lic sentiment, and at the same to keep informed on all public questions at least expense, cannot invest $2.50 to better advantage than to send it to the publishers for a year's subscription to this weekly magazine. the cuticle. The Epithelium is the natural safeguard of the lungs, and, so long as it remains unbroken, no germ can assail them. it is a delicate membrane, and con But stantly exposed to injury by "Colds," 'Grippe," "Bronchitis," "Pneumonia," 'Asthma," and by many kinds of dust, smoke, and irritating gases. If these sources of injury to the Epithelium were remedied by PROPER TREATMENT or improved sanitary surroundings, no consumption would arise. It is only because of this neglect and bad treatment of them that consumption attacks us. Many families are more prone to consumption than others, because in them the Epithelium is naturally more delicate and easily injured. This delicacy is inherited the same as is a dark or white skin. The skin of some people blisters and inflames by every slight exposure to the sun, while that of others tans and grows tough by the same exposure. These are constitutional peculiarities that run through whole fam ilies. In the case of families inheriting a delicate Epithelium every member is thereby predisposed to consumption, and very liable, one after another, to contract the dis ease. Consumption can be prevented in such people only by watchful care and prompt and proper treatment of every cold or congestion that threatens their lungs. This is the broad, comprehensive view of science, in contradistinction to the narrow, piddling platitudes of those who tell the people that "consumption is contagious;' that "it is caused by breathing the dried sputum of other consumptives," and that the only way to guard against it" is to imprison all persons so affected "in pest hospitals, as is done with lepers and the victims of small-pox." A most doleful prospect for those so unfortunate as to be afflicted. To be true, the germs would have to be created by the disease, instead of the disease by them. To imagine the generation of living organisms FROM NOTHING and their endowment with the power of propagating their kind afterward, is as great an absurdity as to assume the same of lice, fleas, mosquitoes, or any other of the thousands of creeping and crawling things that afflict us. Germs different from the tuberculosis bacilli produce other diseases, differing widely from consumption. Not one of such diseases has ever been cured by giving medicines by the stomach. In every instance cure is possible only by applying remedies to the germs and germ-infected parts. TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION we must preserve the health of the Epithelium by preventing or promptly curing Colds, Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma, Grippe, Pneumonia, and all similar affections. To CURE CONSUMPTION we must kill the germs in the lungs and heal the injuries they have inflicted there. To accomplish these purposes has been the study of my life, and I know by actual experience in thousands of cases that I am able to destroy the germs of consumption in the lungs absolutely in every case, and without the slightest injury to the lung tissues. This arrests all further progress of the disease, and, if applied in time, ends in a radical cure. Even when the disease is hopeless by reason of the great breaking down and destruction of the lung tissue that has taken place, we can still by inhalations adapted to the disease stay its further progress, relieve much of the patient's misery and materially prolong his life.

BOVININE The Original Raw Food is for the people. It aims, through instruction by St. Louis Globe-Democrat: A remarkable literary find is reported from Dublin. In the library of Trinity College was recently discovered a manuscript volume of 500 folio pages, written in the seventeenth century, containing unpublished poetry by Bacon, Massinger, and many minor authors. The poem by Bacon, written after his fall, is entitled "Farewell to Fortune." An event like this will serve to remind the world that something new about Shakespeare's works and personal history is by no means outside the range of probability. A great increase is noticeable in the interest in book-plates and similar means of enriching books. One result of this is the exhibition at Brentano's, in New York City, of a private collection containing over four thousand beautiful engravings, and many heraldic devices, monograms and crests. The collection has required over fifteen years in its completion, and as it now stands, it includes specimens of the work of the finest engravers in this country, England and Canada. The exhibition will last several days, beginning to-day, March 14. Mr. Henry M. Alden, the accomplished editor of holds in solution the albu- New York Tribune: Shakespeare's plays have been translated into the Armenian language, and the translation will soon be published in Russia.

Macmillan & Co., New York, announce a new edition of Kidd's "Social Evolution," in paper covers, at 25 cents. This edition contains the author's latest revisions and an entirely new preface not to be found in any pirated edition. The present revival of interest in Napoleon has been only a lucky coincidence for The Century, as Professor Sloane's history was projected, and its publication in 1895 decided upon, long before there was, even in France, any unusual interest in the character of Bonaparte. Ginn & Co. announce “Gibbon's Memoirs," edit ed with an introduction and notes by Oliver Farrar Emerson, A. M., Ph.D., of Cornell University. These Memoirs present in a plain but remarkable story the account of the author's devotion to scholarship, and his "long sacrifice to the purest intellectual enthusiasm." Gibbon is, says Edmund Gosse, “a typical specimen of the courage and single-heartedness of a great man of letters." The Citizen is a new monthly paper of 24 pages published at Philadelphia by the American Society for the Extension of University Teaching. The price is one dollar per year or ten cents a copy. The Citizen, it is announced, will have a wider scope than the former publications of the society, and will appeal to a larger number of readers.
