son about seven years of age who was do
formed in his left foot at birth. The foo
was turned in, and the weight of the body
fell, in walking, upon the ankle joint, Last
summer Armstrong sent his wife, with
the child, to the Kansas City Surgical lnsti-
tute for treatment, where they stopped for
several weeks. The result is, that now,
when the boy walks, no deformity can be
discovered, and the. bright little fellow
seems to realize the great benefit derived
fom few weeks stay at the Surgical lnsti-
tute. The second trip was made few DAYS
since and mother and son returned home
to-day, the boy being entirely well and
carries a orutoh only as prccaution against
making amisstep. Mrs. Armstrong. pre-

the cause why the child was thus deformed
The Kansas City Surgical Institute has
done neat piece of work In this instance,

almost any of the deformities that hu-
man nature Is subject to, and We doubt not
but what their proficiency In correcting de-

The English Franking Privilege.


AS TO the question of the privileges OF
members, it may be observed that one
of them, now extinct, that of franking,
dated from the commencement of the
reign of Charles III. The house conferred
the revenues of the post-oftice on the
duke of York, or to put it more exactly.
gave his royal highness monopoly of
the letter-carrying trade. At the same
time they claimed that letters sent by
members of either house should 90 free.
One member spoke bitterly against this
clause rs ''pitiful" and contemptible
Was he a rich man? The privilege of
franking was always highly esteemed
and abused by patriots of all hues, with
out the slightest sense of shame. Chief
Justice Abbott, ON being raised TO the
peerage, naturally received the congratu-
lations Of the bar. The new lord, Ten
terden,) in returning thanks, observed,
that no hinge to his elevation gave kim
greater pleasure than the privilege TO be
able to frank the letters Of his friends of
the legal profession. Members of the
Junior bar soon avaIled themselves of
his lordshit's kindness in a way that
grieved him much 1t was not the num-
Der of the franks he minded, but the re-

On the 25th of April, there fell In the
French Departments Basses-Alps and
Isere, an abundant snow strongly tinged
with red dust. The-red matter was 80
abundant that from Barcelonette, all the
mountains looked ochery up to 2.s000 to
3,00Om. Above this the snow remained
quite white. A notary of the place had
a quantity of the snow collected and
after fusion ard filertation, sent some of
the dust to NJ. DaubIee, who found it In
a large proportion of carbonate of lime,
also mica, and two felspars, one of these
being orthose. The powder, then. had
probably terrestrial, and not cosmic
origin; but appears not to be volcanic,
like the ash which has sometimes
fallen in Scandinavia after 1celandic
eruptions; il also differs from the sand
OF the Sahara, often carried great dist
anccs by wind. The point whence II
came is still uncertain. but it is interest
ing to note that the same kind of sub
stance had fallen in 1916, precisely in
the same departments, and in 1868 in
the eastern Pyrenecs. Showers of simi'
lar dust seem TO have fallen in Saone-et-
Loire on the 18th of April, and in cei-
tam parts of Algei In on the 23th.

A Coed Thing,

German Syrup is the special prescription
of DIR. A. Boschee, q celebrated German
Physician, and is acknowledged to be one
of the most fortunate discoveries in Medi-
cine. 1t quickly cures Coughs, Colds and
all Lung troubles Of the severest nature,
removing as il does the cause of tkc aiiec-
ton and leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an expert
mental medicine, but has stood the test of
years, giving satisfaction in every case
which its rapidly increasing sale every, sea-
son confirms. Two million bottles sold an
nually. Beware of medicines of similar
names, lately introduced. Boschee's Ger
man Syrup was introduced in the United
States in 1868, and is now sold in every
town and village in the civilized world

The Cold bath. FtL
Although the daily cold bath Is health


FIJI and reviving, it must not alone be
depended upon as cleansing agent. A
man may bathe daily and use his towel
even roughly, and remain as dirty TO all
practical intents as though he eschewed
cleanliness; indeed, the physical evil Of
dirt is more likely to ensue, because II
wholly neglected the skin would cast of
refuse matter by periodical perspirations.
Nothing but frequent washing ih water
of at least equal temperature with the
skin, and soap, can insure free and
healthy surface. The feet require es-
pecial care, and it re too much the prac-
tice to neglect them. The omission OF
daily washing with water and the wear
ing of foot coverings so tight rs to com
press the blood-vessels and retard the
circulation of the blood through the ex.
tremites are the most common causes OF
cold feet. The remedy is obvious
dress loosely and wash frequently. The
skin plays an important part In the pre-

he was watching spiders nest, a mad
wasp alighted within an inch or two OF
the nest, on the side opposite the opening
Creeping noiselt ssly around toward the
entrance of the nest the wasp stopped a
little short of it, and for a moment re-
mained perfectly quiet. Then reaching
out one Cf his antenne, he wiggled II be-
fore the opening and Withdrew it. This
overture had the desired effect, for the

ordinary sees, came out to see, what
was wrong and TO set it 10 rights. NO
