The skeptical Doctor.

A certain learned doctor who lives
in Peoria, ILL.,, has a certain friend in
Cincinnati who, like the rest of his
scotfing and scientific brothers, has no
more use for these ''faith-cure" people
than pig has for soap and towels.
He is partially deaf, and as a joke he
recently went to a woman who cured
by faith. at is not you who are deaf, :"
began the oracle: at is your ears. :"
This almost staggered the doctor. 81
can make yOu hear" was her next con-
fident announcement. She made the
usual passes, and then told him to put
his watch to his ear and find out if he
did not hear it tick. He had not been
able for years to hear his watch tick,
but he pulled his watch out, and as the
fob was short he leaned over and put
it to his ear. Sure enough he could
hear it. 1t was marvellous, but it was
true. When he got home, wondering
much and humble, he took his watch
out and found that he could not hear.
But when he bent over he could hear it
ticking. Evidently the rush of blood
to the head when in that position
quickened the organs in his ear. 1t was
simple enough, and no faith cure in it
at all. The next day he saw the faith
curer again, and told her that she had
cured him, but he had to stand on his
head to hear. .'Well, you look better
standing on your head than in any
position" was her ungracious answer.

Docking of Horses Tails.

The president of the American So
ciety for the Prevention ofsCruelty to
Animals, Henry Bergh (nephew of the
recently deceased noted parsonage Of
that name), writes in the Epoch as fol-
lows:
"I regard the docking of horses tails
as one of the worst forms of cruelty,
not so much ON account of the pain
inflicted in cutting the tails of, though
that must be considerable-the tail be-
ing q continuation of the vertebral
cOIumn-but because the animal is
thus deprived of the only means he
has of protecting himself against ia
sects. How would it be if q mans
arms were cut off short at the shoulder
and he had no means of brushing the
flies from off his head or his noses
Would not the torture be great?
1.-The people who resort to this prac-
tice are simply aping q fashion that
has come from England. They some
times use as an argument that the
horses tail gets over the lines and that
is annoying. If horse has hy or an
insect on his back. biting and worrying
around to rid himself of the aggrava-
tlOu, nuu III 81 oOihS nc Whi SOLtCsihhcS
get the tail over the lines; but do not
think little annoyance OF that kind is
sufficient excuse to infiict such suf-
fering on the animal.
This cutting of the horses tails is
one of those dictates of fashion that to
my mind is simply hideous, and ! am
sorry to say that it is done as much
now as formerly. The society is doing
all it can to prevent it. II we found
any man engaged in docking horses
tails we would cause his arrest, for we
could proceed against him for such an
offense as that. A veterinary surgeon,
however, who will perform operations
of that kind will go to a stable and
without any previous notice will dock
q horses tail, and of course we have
no means of catching him in the act oi
! doing so; the work is done in the sc.
clusi0n of the stable. l believe the
operation itself hurts as badly as the
cutting off of persons finger; per-
haps it hurts more, as the spinal mar
row extends to that portion of th'
Vertebral column"

The HOop-Snake.

James N. Lawrence, an old resident
of this place, says Coulterville Qll.)
letter to the St. Louis Gto6e-Denaocrdt,
says that people who say there are no
such things as hoop-snakes don't know
what they are talking about. MIR.
Lawrence has had several thrilling en-.
counters with these reptiles and has
killed several of them. The first one
he ever saw was in Ocean county, New
Jersey, in 1917, while he was out hunt
ing with party of friends. He killed
the snake and found it to be about
seven feet long. On the reptiles tail
was prong or horn-shaped affair
about three inches long. This con-
tanned poison. Near Cape Girardeau,
Mo-, he killed another hoop-snake.
This was in 1858. 1t was about five feet
long and was supplied with the same
prong or poison horn that was found
on the first one he killed. Both snakes
were rolling along the ground at .

Cheap Aluminium.

Experiments here, SAYS a Newport,
(Ky.) dispatch to the New York Sun,
have resulted in an extraordinary dis
covery, if the statements made by those
interested are correct. The discovery
is that aluminium, which now costs
$40, 900 a ton and is produced only in
France, can be obtained anywhere by
a most simple process and at less than
one-hundredth part of the present ex-
pense.
The Importance of this discovery can
be Judged when it is recOllected that
aluminium is the most generally diff
fused metal on earth, and has all the
beauty of silver, besides being non-
furnishing, nOn-corrosive, more lasting
than silver, with only one-fourth its
weight. In addition aluminium alloyed
one-tenth of one per cent. with iron oil
steel increases the homogeneous and
tensile strength of the metal nearly
half, while for electrO-plating purposes
aluminium is superior to either gold ol
silver.
The experiments began in an at
tempt to extract aluminium chemically
from common clay and cryolite. Thi:
was accomplished in novel manner
and the operators. obtained thereby

/ When the mass was quite liquid il

Diphtheria and Cats.

Domestic animals have often not
only been suspected but found guilty
of spreading infection SAYS the London
Sanitary Standard In his report on
the recent sustained prevalence of
diphtheria in Enfield, Dr.. Bruce Low of
the medical department of the local
government board incidentally states
that during the continuance of the epi-
demic cats were observed to suffer in
considerable numbers from illness, and
in December, 1857, and in January,
1888, there was large mortality
among those animals, 50 much so that
the attention of the dISt contractor
was directed to it. He stated that
never in his previous experience had
he seen so many dead cats in the dust
heaps. Some households, seeing their
cats i'll. destroyed them. Though there
were no known cases of diphthpria oc-
curing in practice of the veterinary
at Enfield, yet they saw many cases of
''intiuenza" at this time among ami
mails. The following is an illustration
of the possible connection between
diphtheria in children and in cats: A
little boy was taken i'll with what
turned out ultimately to be fatal
diphtheria. On the first day of his i'll
ness he was sick and the cat, which
was in the room at the time, licked
the vomit on the floor. In few days
(the child meanwhile having died) the
animal was noticed to be i'll and her
sufferings being 50 severe, and similar
to the boys the owner destroyed her.
During the early part Of its illness this
cat had been let out in the back yard,
as usual. A few DAYS later the cat of q
neighbOr who lived few doors further
of was noticed to be i'll. 1t had also been
in the back yards at night. The second
animal, which however recovered,
was the pet and play-fellow of four lit
tie girls, who, grieved at the illness
of their favorite, nursed it with great
care. All four girls developed diph-
liberia, their mother being convinced
that they got it from the cat; and, in
deed, no other known source of con-
tact with infection could be discovered
1t is easy to imagine cats catching aa
infectious disease like diphtheria when
we remember how often milk and other
unused food from the sick room is
given to the cat, or by some people
thrown out into the back yard for the
benefit of their neighbors' cats if they
have none of their own. 1t is fire.
quent occurrence to see children carry
ing cats in their arms. and even kiss
ing them. 1t is obvious that if the cat
were i'll with diphtheria the children
under snch circumstances would al
most inevitably contract the disease.
