to the inquiry from the cop, that he,

question by Mr.. Cox, as to whether anybody
approached witness regarding the character Of
the evidence he would give before the Potter
Committee, Kelly said he was visited by man
named Maddox, who stated that he was en-
ployed by high authority from the committee

distance, even as far as San Francisco, and
could then be summoned back, profting by the
mileage.

Treatment Of SMALLPOX In the Olden
Time.

A curious old custom still fingers in
some of the more secluded parts of the
country of placing patient suffering
from smallpox in bed with red hang
ings. It would be interesting to know
the origin of this custom, and how long
it had been in vogue. The tradition
that red is good for smallpox is at least
five centuries and a half old, for we read
that John, one of the sons Of Edward
H., was treated for the disease by being
put into bed surrounded by red hang
ings, covered with red blankets and
red counterpart, his throat being gar
gled with red mulberry wine, and red
juice of pomegranates being given him
to suck. This was the boosted prescrip-
ton of John of Gaddeaden, who took
no small credit to himself for bringing
his royal patient safely through the
