physicians made a great mistake in

of variations. These variations are
such as intimate, if they do not DEM

Peru is distracted by the presence
of too many "saviors of society"
Calderon courts the support of the
so-called patriotic" classes by refus-
ing to sign any peace with Chilli that
involves the cession of territory; and
Iglesias bids for the. adhesion of the
property owners and those who are
tired of disastrous war by securing
peace through the acceptance of the
Chilian terms. 1t is selfish struggle
for supremacy between two rival
leaders, with the chances in favor of
Iglesias because he has the powerful

consumptive, young man courted
Miss Sassoman, a healthy and bloom

paid his devoirs to the deceased lady'S
sister, who was also robust damsel.

A North Carolina girl had her
hand completely severed from the
arm by an axe. The physician, not be-

both arm and hand to broad splint,
ordered them to be kept warm with
hot flannel cloth. The third day pull

What is sauce for the goose is sauce

of his ancestors moving him to go for
the hated pale-faees, England would
know what it means to have an In

ton would find fewer advocates.
