Cancer Among yeretarians.

Surgeon Major Hendley, resident sur
geon at Jappore, writes: "In The British
Medical Journal of April Z, 1888, the fol
lowing statements are made: M. Reclus
has shown that cancer was all but I'M
known among the persons whose food
was exclusively vegetable M. Verneuil
also believed that the increase of cancer
was largely due to the carnivorous habits
of diet of the past generation The
records of the Mayo hospital at Jaypore,
which is under my charge, show no such
immunity of vegetarians from cancer.
From January, 1880, to the present date.
1O2 major operations nave beeHperformed
in the hospital in cases of cancer. OF
these, al were on the persons of meat
caters mt 81 on those of strict vegeta-
rians who had never eaten meat since
their birth.
In India, where caste rules are exceed
ingly rigid, the fact that the latter we're
true vegetarians is absolute proof.
Among them are six Saraogis, a class of
jams who even reject many kinds of
vegetables. Three of these Saraogis suf-
fered from cancer of the breast. Out of
lO2 cases there were 3 deaths attributable
to the operation. There is no informa-
ton available as to recurrence, or the
contrary. The cases were divided as fol-
lows: Cancer of breast 20, tongue or lips
., head and face II, upper extremity IL,
lower extremity 8, trunk 10, ~testicie l.,
glands 8. There were 90 males and 40
females, a large proportion of the latter
in a country where the purdah system is
in force. The maximum age was 70
years, the minimum 10 years, the average
43 years. british Medical Journal.

Mortified at his contempt for convention

pant illusions to the nobility and the

and easy, devil-may-care racklessness, so
opposed to the cut and dried Canadian
standard. Au contraire, he is rather fas-

prodigality, his generosity, and general
bon camaraderie.-Edith Sessions upper.

1t has become quite common of late to
estimat the future in the way of forecast
ing what inventions must occur. 1t has
so generally occurred to our prophets
to tell us what civilization in it's progress
sive movement will drop out. A recent
writer suggests that we shall, in the next
century. have very little use for horses.
He supposes airships to be not only an
achievement, but to be as common as
wagons are now. The farmer has then
only to hitch a load to his airboat. and lift
it clear of trees, and nov straight to
market. The effect of navigating the dir
will. however, be most marked on urban
life. Cities will no longer be needed to
any such extent as now. Tho airship,
avoiding streets, can make a location in
the country as desirable for a great store
as one in q city. Will not also a vast
amount of land now needed for highways
be given over to tillage? Go ahead, and
give us the airship. Globe Democrat.

The governor of the Danish colony of
Greenland receives by the ship which
brings him his nnual supplies, copies of
the daily papers of Copenhagen for the
year preceding. He arranges these pa
pers in the order of their dates, and then
quietly and calmly reads a paper each day,
just as though it was fresh from the
press. He is sometimes strongly tempted
to peer into futurity by reading some pa
pers ahead when he comes across interest
ing news; but he ~resists the temptation,
no matter how anxious he is to know tho
fate of some measure. One days paper
for each day is his rule; and SO at the end
of the year he is thoroughly familiar with
the news of the preceding year, He says
he is just as happy as though he pulled
each days paper off the press.-New York
Tribune.

Another Rush of 1nvaiids.

Now there is another rush of invalids
like that of the consumptives who 90 to
the abattoirs to be cured. This time the
rush is by rheumatics who believe that
they can be cured by standing near the
dynamos in electric light establishments.
This new fad grows out of the idea that
men employed in the manufacture or use
of electricity never have rheumatism or
neuralgia. 1t is said to be a fact, and
another statement is that if a rheumatic
gets work that takes him constantly be-
side dynamos his disease quickly leaves
him.-New York Sun.

Prevailing Ignorance in 1ta1v.

The prevailing ignorance and supersti-
ton Is appalling. As late as 1882, accord
ing to the official statistics, 81 per cent.
of the male population over 20 years of
age could neither read nor write. The
flthiness, abject poverty and squalor of
entire districts is indescribable, families
being huddled together with chickens and
pigs in one room hardly sufficient to afford
protection from the weather, the wages
being so low as to make it almost impos-
sible to keep body and soul together, and
absolutely impossible to leave the country
or better their condition. A piece of
white bread to them would be a grand
feast. This wretchedness is not found
alone among the marshy lands, but on
the richest and most fertile plains of
northern Italy. the horrible disease known
as ~"penagra" making the greatest ravages
in LomRardy and Emilia. As yet the
complaint is little understood, but known
to proceed from insufficient and unwhole
some food, together with ply - ~~1

California's First Gold Coin.

The first, or among the first, gold pieces
coined in California were of pure gold.
They were $50 in value, octagon as to
shape, and were made, not by the govern
melt, but by a patent pill dealer. On the
face they bore his pill device and .adver-
tisemeut. In o years time names and
figures were worn of, end the slug" as
1t was called, was as smooth as q billiard
ball.
In the mines we did not bother much
with any kind of coin. and as for paper
money, we forgot there was such o cur
rency., The miner paid for his groceries
in gold dust. and weighed it out to the
storekeePer in bis own little troy weight
gold scales, or tho storekeeper's, ct the
average rate of SIT per ounce. A pen
nyweight' was reckoned at something
over 80 cents and a grain ct 3 cents.
Brass filings were sometimes mixed with
the dust, to give it body" if business
was being transacted with n greenhorn.
Gray sand, which was difficult to distin-
guish in fine gold dust. also sometimes
served n similar unrighteous purpose

Most people regard those who violate.
the law with hatred. They do not take
into consideration tho circumstances.
They do not believe that man is perpetu.

sideration the effect of poverty, of neces-
sit?, and, above all, of opportunity. For
these reasons they regard criminals with
feelings of revenge. They wish to see
them punished. They want them impris,
oned or hanged. They do not think the
law hes been indicated unless somebody
has bsea outraged Hook ut these things
from an entirely different point of view.

punish them would be punished. But

there was no law against polygamy he
believed it right, just as he did all the
other revelations, that there was
nothing inherently wrong in it, but
believed in obeying the law. Excused.
Cyru4 Sanford. Jr., believed in the
principle of plural marriage, and
thought it divine revelation, believed
it was right before any law was passed
against it, but thought now that no
man had right to practice it while
there is law against it; would not
require any more evidence than in any
other cases to convict. He was ex-

Andrew Madison. Of Provo, was a
member of the Mormon church, had
never formed any opinion about polyg-
amy. ETC., and as a practice did not be-

against it and society approved of it he
thought it would be all right, and if
commanded by God to enter into q
polygamous relation, thought it would
be all right to obey.
HENRY e, RAWLINGS was a member
of the church; had never read the
revelation on plural marriage; had
heard of it, but never formed an opinion
upon the subject; and if there was no
law against it he would not kick"
against the man going into
that relation and believed in let
ting him alone; believed if a man
was worthy and able to support his
family it would be all right, but would
be against his mind for a man to go
into it when there was law against it;
and since the people had put it in the
Constitution to make it misdemeanor,
he was little mixed about their hand

looked inconsistent to him. He was
passed for further examination. Upon
further examination it was found that
he paid but little support to the church,
and was accepted.
They were then sworn in.
The judge delivered the usual instruc-

Edmunds law, saying that person need
not be caught in the act of adultery, but
it may be inferred from circumstances.
