The Pail Mail Gazette, Of London, Eng
land, did not overstate the case when it
said that Tile Ne,0 T0yb Independcnt is
''one Of the ablest weeklies in existence"
It is as overwhelming as amonthly or quar-
terly magazine, with all the matter in its
many departments. Any monthly might
indeed be proud if it could show as distin-
guished a list Of contributors as The Inde-
pendent. In a single department-its story
department-we find, among Englishmen,
such contributors as Sir Samuel w. Baker,
the celebrated Egyptian explorer; Thomas
Hardy, W. E. Norris, James Payn, F. W.
Robinson and Henry W. Lucy, the we'll
known and deservedly popular novelists;
while among Americans we notice the
names of Edward Everett Hale, Frank R.
Stockton II. H. Boyesen, Sarah O. Jewett,
j. S., Of Dale, Rebecca Harding Davis and
Harriet Prescott SpOford. Tile IndeDe1-
dent printed also, recently, the
from the pen of the late Ivan TOurgenet,
having secured the only translation from
| the Russian into English. This depart
ment is but sample of the others. It
would seem to us that THe independent
offers not only "ffty-two dividends during
the year" but, in addition, stock divi
/ dend with each department. We advise
our readers to send for a free sample copy.

When pain from rheumatism or Neuralgia
is intense, people are apt to throw away
great deal Of money in search Of relief. They
needn't do it. Says G.. H. Hotchkiss, 327
Grand st., New Haven: "After enduring iu-
tense suffering for six months from Rheuma-
tism, employing four different physicians
without relief, and spending many dollars for
medicines, I accidentally heard Of AthlophO-
ros, and tried it. Three bottles cured me en-
tirely in less than three weeks time"

THE SECRET OF THE TIDES.
Explanation Of the Sixty-FOOt Ebb aud
Flow in the Bay Of Fundy,

I have found ont what causes these aque-
GUS convulsions in the Bay of Fundy
When the whites first landed and settled in
Nova Scotia, in 1905, some time earlier
than at either Plymouth, New York or Vir-
Rinia, the country was in possession Of the
Micmacs-a hardy race Of Indians, now
nearly extinct Their affairs were directly
presided over by one Glooscap, q much re-
spected person more than four hundred
feet high who lived in the clouds, and
whom the Macmacs fattered by calling him
great and good, and propitiated with
prayers and offerings. These shores Of the
Basin Of Minas, the upper end of the Bay
of Fundy, have always been famed, and
are to-day, for their mineral richness.
Rare collections are made here. Several
minerals are found here which exist no.
where else in the world. They have the
finest supply of gypsum in America. Here,
also, is an abundance of amethyst, agate,
opal, oalcite, apophyllite, chalcedony, ruby,
cats-eye, jasper stilbite, heulandite, mag
netite, malachite, copper, obsidian and
large varities Of quartz crystals Very
we'll. Now for the news concerning the
origin Of the fluent fits that the Bay Of
Fundy has. I have taken it from the
mouth Of Micmac and thrown it into
verse for convenience in handling;

DIR. FORDYCE BARKER.
The Charges of Perjury Preferred Against
Him Not Sustained.

New York, Dec. 19-The meeting of the
Academy of Medicine was one of the largest and
most earnest ever held. The cause was to hear
the report from the committee on ethics in re-
gard to the charges preferred Nov. 81 against
DR.. b. Fordyce Barker, president of the acade-
N.Y. of perjury, it having been alleged by six
members that he had falsely sworn and also re-
peatedly declared that ne was graduate of the
Ecole de Medicine in Paris. The charges were
signed by Drs. Edward S. f. Arnold, Nathan
Bozeman, Austin Flint. jr., s. s. Purple
C. S. Wood, and William Young The
attack has been regarded as a new phase
of the bitter fight between the new code and the
old code physicians. About two thirds of the
members of the academy including DR.. Barker
are new-code men and DR. Flint, jr. is the
recognized leader of the old code faction. DR..
Barker called the meeting to order. Only one
of his accusers, DR.. S. S. Purple, was present
and he said nothing during the entire session
DR. Barker resigned the chair to vice president
Robert F. Weir, NJ D. The report of the com
mittee on ethics, concerning the charges against
Dr. Barker, was read In his statement before
the committee DR., Barker related how he had
received a degree in Paris and di
ploma from the Royal Medical Society
of Greece, and how both had been lost
aud how both DR.. Edwin II. Davis and Dr.
r. Ogden Doremus had written letters stating
that they had seen the Paris diploma. When
the two letters were read there was enthusiastic
applause. 1t was repeated when Dr. Smith
stated that the charges had not been sustained
The report was adopted without dissenting
vote. DIR. e. @. Peters moved that vote of
censure be passed on the men who had formu-
lated the charges DIR. d. b. St. John Roosa
wanted all the six accusers of the president of
the academy expelled, while DR.. Wiley was anx-
ious that only the leading spirit Dr. Austin
Flint jr, should be turned out. DR.. Baker
however, asked that the matter be dropped He
was satisfied to rest upon the report of the com
mitUee. His wishes were respected

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 19-Already the iuvesti-
CATION into the alleged Irregularities in the ap-
pointment of Deputy United States Marshals in
southern Ohio during the October election ex-
citement is being laughed out of court The
object of the inquiry is so apparently in the in
tercst of Judge Follet, who was defeated for re.
election to Congress by Major Butterworth, that
the work of the committe is being hooted at.
But few people attend the meetings of the
committee, and the proceedings attract little or
no attention outside the circle of parties directly
affected.
A member CT the committee said to-day that i.
was already plain that there would be two re-
ports rendered, and that they would be based
strictly on partisan grounds. The weight of the
testmoney produced by both Democrats and
Republicans he thought depended altogether
upon partisan prejudice in its effect If the
deputy marshals, he said, hadintimidated voters,
or would be voters, the effect counterbal-
anccd by the deputy sherifs who appeared for
the other party. The inquiry viii be tedious
and unnteresting
