A Country Whose Antiseptic Climate
Heals Serious Wounds.

A Country Whose Antiseptic Climate
Heals Serious Wounds.
One of the most curious results of
my observations is that the climate of
Damaraland possesses what we might
call an antiseptic character for several
months of every year. The quality is
an attendant of the long annual
drought. Every living thing suffers
during that period of the excessive
heat, and much comfort is impossible,
even IN the shade, while, in places ex-
posed to the warm winds, the ther-
mometer has risen to one hundred and
twenty-nine degrees; and the sand, un-
mOistened for six months, becomes so
hot that [ have seen eggs hardened in
it. This arid heat is opposed to the
propagation of ferment, for it dries up
every thing that is exposed to the
wind before it has time to sour. No
manifestations of tuberculosis are
known. Wounds of every kind heal
remarkably quickly and well. without
enough suppuration taking place to

observed case of a Herero whose
right lower arm had been shattered in
battle by a musket-ball. The healing
process had worked itself out in such a
way that the whole lower arm with all
its muscles had become withered and
useless, while the upper-arm bone was
whole and covered at its lower end
only with brown skin. All the muscles
and ligaments of the elbow-joint had
vanished, while the shoulder-muScles
remained, so that the unpleasant spec

woman lived at our station whose feet
had been barbarously cut off in some
war several years before, so that her
captors might more easily get off the

woman had to lie helpless for long
time. her wounds eventually healed up,
and now she has been hopping around

The History of the Eccentric Oil Well a.
Stannard's Corners.
''The eccentricities of oil wells arc

then never heard Oft The people of
Stannard's Corners got the Oil fever

there was oil lurking around anywhere

money together amongst 'em, and
started the drill to tap the lake Of

three or four dry-goods boxes, filled
them full of stones, and piled them one
on top of the other on the plug.
"When bed time came that night the
people left the we'll and went home.
They all got up bright and early and
took their positions at the well again.
The boxes of stones were then all right,

Forgery Made Easy.

David n. Carvalho, a handwriting
expert in the district attorneys office
at New York, says that forgeries by
amateurs are increasing, and that they
are encouraged by the bad practices
that have grown up in commercial
houses-the use of stylographic pens
and of aniline inks. Many large houses,
he says, recognizing the lack OF char

stylographic pen, have discarded them
altogether in signing checks and papers
of similar Importance, and the surro-

A Feeling Frequently the Result of Ex-

There is an absurd notion in MANY
communities that peculiar and dis
tressing sensation at the stomach,
usually called ''faintness," is true hun
ger, which is utterly false, having no
possible relation to hunger. This SEN
sation is simply the evidence that more
or less OF irritation, Inflammation, has
been produced, in some way, probably
by excesses in eating, by irregularity
or by the use of improper food, that too
difficult OF digestion. under the circum-
stances. Instead of a call for more food
which is the Office of true hunger-it
should be regarded as an alarm, certain
evidence that too much has been eaten
from which the stomach is suffering
No proper eating will produce this in

true that this sinking sensation is often

but it returns in far less time than is
required for the digestion of the food
taken. nature being little confused in
the matter of giving the warning notes,

be that the heat, the extra local warmth
induced by this irritation, is simply so
far reduced by the GOODNESS of the food.

the warmth, if quite warm food is

digestion. than to take food, which only
