Associated Press Dispatches to THE HERALD
LONDON, March Elm the Common
this evening the debate on the Parnel
Commissions report was resumed b,
Professor Bryce, who praised Parnell ant
Davitt for rendering great service &
England in bringing about better feel
ing between che two countries.
Sir Charles Russell said he could no
regard the commission judges as mer
free from prepossessions and prejudices
A bad precedent had been made in the
selection of three judges to decide ques
tions having chiefly political aspect
The whole case had been conducted with
pertinacious rancor by the Attorney.
General, manner in which it would not
have been conducted if the political char
acter of the commission had not swept
away it's judgment.
Attorney General. Webster said he had
been represented throughout by the
speakers OF the opposition as the villain
of the piece, although only doing
his duty as counsel. Throughout the
case no step had been taken in behalf OF
the Times. The Government had aimed
solely to throw the clearest possible
light upon the doings of the leaders
Truth, not Misrepresentation, had been
their aim. The commission had pro-
vided impartial minds with evidence that
justified the bulk of the accusations
against the Parnellites. Parnell was un-
able to produce q single speech in which
he had denounced tho use OF dynamite.
The Attorney General regretted that
many charges had been made that should
not have been made. The respondents
had Withdrawn their case, but the fact
was that the more witnesses that were
called the more the Times's case was
being proved. 1t was only his duty to
reply to the accusations as the represen-
tative of the Times, and leave the matter
in the hands of the House.
Major Sanderson described at length
what he called the dual method OF the
Parnellites. Il was their custom to col
lect dynamite funds in America, and
crate on the "union of hearts" at home.
Sanderson accused Dillon of indirectly
encouraging the manning of cattle,
whereupon the Parnell members shouted
''Liar!' %
The Speaker sternly called for order.
Sanderson twitted Harcourt with having
cost the country at the rate of 100000
yearly for protection from dynamiters,
when he was Home Secretary, and how
his body guard was composed Of Nation
alists paid by Ford.

How Amputasion Feels.

Colonel q. @. Hamilton, clerk of the
United States District Court, was telling
yesterday how it felt to have limb cut
off. He WAS perfectly conscious when
his arm was cut off in field hospital
and says of it:
"It really doesn't hurt except when
the first cut around the limb is made
cutting the skin. That's because the
nerves are oil situated just under the
skin, and after they are cut there il
nothing to convey the sensation of phin
Cutting through the fash is like cutting
a nail or piece of dead skin-a dead
feeling. Even saving the bone is only 6
dull feeling. The real pain is ovel
when the knives get into the flesh. -

Choosing a Sweetheart.
Choose your sweetheart careful

Choose your sweetheart carefully,
wisely and tenderly, my dear girls,
says writer in the Ladies Home Jour-
nal. Remember he is to be more than
even this to you some day-he is to be
your husband, for surely you are not
one of the girls who have sweetheart
here, and one there, and gives a little
love to this one and little to that one,
until when the real one appears the
perfect bloom is gone from the peach
and she cannot give him what he Of
fers her. You girls know very quick
~ when a man means more than the
ordinary friendship for you. You have
an instinct that tells you that this big,
good-looking fellow has come sweet
hearting, and that that is the time for
you to study him a little bit. Think
out if his temper and yours are GER
tain to agree we'll together; think out
if his tastes and yours are alike, or if
they can grow to be SO, for you know,
little woman, if you want to be happy
in your married life, you must learn
the great and wonderful virtue OF
adaptability. You must choose your
sweetheart as you do a new gown, SO
that he will wear well; but you want
him for longer than a winter; he must
last through the long summer days
and through the winter ones, and be-
fore you put your hand in his and tell
him that You are willing to fight out
the battle of life together think it all
over well and remember that YOU are
choosing your sweetheart not for a day
OF a year, but for all through life and,
please God, if you love each other
enough, after death.

How a Spider Catches Fish.

The physical powers of the lycosidae
the popular running ground, or wolf
SPIDER are well illustrated by an in
stance recorded in the proceedings of
the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia. The result, as reported,
was achieved by pure strength and &C
tivity, without any of the mechanical
advantages of snare.
Mr.. Spring, while walking with a
friend in the swampy wood, which was
pierced by a dixie three feet wide, was
attracted by the extraordinary move
ments of large black spider in the
middle of ditch. Closer examination
showed that the creature had caught a
fish. She had fastened upon it with q
deadly grip just on the forward side of
the dorsal Tin, and the poor fish was
swimming round and round slowly, or
twisting it's body as if in pain.
The head of its black enemy was
sometimes almost pulled under water,
but the strength of the fish would not
permit an entire submersion. 1t moved
its fins as if exhausted, and often rested.
Finally it swan under a floating leaf
near the Shore and made vain effort
to dislodge the spider by scraping
against the under side of the leaf.
The two had now closely approached
the bank. Suddenly the long black
legs of the spider emerged from the
water, and the hinder ones reached out
and fastened upon the irregularities of
the sides of the ditch. The spider COM
menced Juggling at his prize in order
to land it. The observer ran to the
nearest house for a wide-mouthed bot
tie. leaving his friend to watch the
struggle.
8, During an interval of six or eight
minutes absence the spider had drawn
the fish entirely out of the water; then
both creatures had fallen in again, the
bank being nearly perpendicular.
There followed great struggle, and
on Mr.. Springs return the fish was
already hoisted head first more than
half its length upon the land. It was
very much exhausted, hardly making
any movement, and was being slowly
and steadily drawn up by the spider,
who had evidently gained the victory.

Buffalo in Australia.

AS there are only about 400 buffaloes
alive in this country, whereas half
century ago there were many millions,
the belief is general that Il few years
more will see the buffalo become wholly
extinct. Such, however, will not be
the case if a story from Australia is to
be believed. 1t is the effect that about
1929 several specimens Of the American
buffalo We're turned loose in the vast
plains of Australia, which since then
have multiplied into great herds.
The title Of doctor was invented in
the twelfth century. The first person
upon whom it was conferred was
Irnerius. a learned professor of law at
the University Of Bologna. William
Gordenio was the first person upon
whom the title of doctor of meuieine
was bestowed. He received it from the
College of Asst in 15329.

a DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION.
Row It Is Formed and Its Mysteries
Solved.

Probably two or possibly three per-
sons in every thousand who get pre-
scriptions from physicians understand
the significance of the cabalistic char
acters there inscribed by the ..medicine
man." while the other 997 see Latin
names and some things that looks like
the letter z and his brothers, hunch-
backed and playing leap-frog.
Every prescription consists of four
parts-the superscription, the inscrip-
ton, the subscription and the signature.
In the upper left-hand corner is tho
symbol 4. 1t is a combination of an
old NEUROLOGICAL sign intended as an
Invocation to the Deity and the initial
OF the Latin verb recipe" whic h
means take thou 1t is intended as
direction to the compounder. Then
comes the inscription, which tells
of the ingredients and their quanti-
ties. The subscription contains direc-
tons as to the form the compound
shall assume.
To insure good effect, however,
medical men say that the doctor and
the druggist should be paid. They
say that it is coincidence that peo-
pie who are slow at settling their doc
tor bills always seems to have some
thing the mater with them, while
prompt payers are equally prompt at
recovery.
Another noticeable thing is that poor
pay people are the ones who hav e
''cranky'' ailments-diseases difficult
to diagnose, more difficult to cure,
while the. collection of the bill is the
most difficult matter of all.
In the matter of ingredients a pre-
scription may contain the base which
is the principal active agent, the aux
lllary, an adjuvant to assist the bases
action; q corrective, to counterfeit any
unpleasant effect of the base and adj
juvant, and the vehicle, some pleasant
taking,- inactive substance either to
hold the foregoing in solution or to
give a consistent form to the prepa-
ration. Water is a vehicle largely
used.
In the country, where it is taken out
of typhoid-feyer wells and out of els
terms with "wiggle-tails'' in them, it
costs nothing. In the city, where
hydrants are used, it costs more. but
is purer. The medicine designed for
the relief of the patient, however,
generally kills any ''wiggle-tails'' that
are corked up in the solution.
Every physician should be phe-
nomenal mathematician. He has to
solve hard sums in what is called in
arithmetic compound numbers, at all
hours Of day and night and with the
anxious friends and female relatives
ringing in his ears such questions:
'Oh, doctor, how long will he live
if he gets over this?" "Isn't he sure
to have the cholera next Summer be-
cause he had the grip last winter? I
Saw it in the paper that he might" she
adds with a motion of the head that is
intended to carry conviction. Cues
tions of this kind have a tendency to
'razzle dazzle" the doctor and in pre-
scribing strong remedies mistake in
determining the size of his doses-if
the prescription clerk does not dis
cover and correct it-might be vital
error for the patient. kansas City

Exercise in Heart Disease.

Exercise in Heart Disease.
The fact is well known that Oertel,
the distinguished German writer, has
warmly advocated for certain forms
OF functional heart trouble not rest,
but active exercise, such as mountain
climbing. In pursuing this practice.
however, the utmost care is found
necessary, and the distance to be
covered is OF course regulated for
each patient; and as it's object is to
strengthen the heart muscle and pro-
mote the circulation, and as only
healthy arteries can stand the strain,
such treatment is of course CONTRA
Indicated in atheroma.
Formerly the detection by physi-
cal diagnosis of a heart murmur was
regarded as a grave fact, an adverse
conclusion being at once arrived at
without sufficiently considering the
other signs and symptoms. Such
cases, it is found, often do we'll
with exercise and outdoor life.
Again, in fatty degeneration, the
heart in a young person can stand a
moderate amount of exercise and I'M
doubtedly be STRENGTHENED, but it is in
fatty infltration fatty overgrowth
that the judicious use ofexercise does
great good the general diet in such
case to be regulated, and the general
obesity which usually exists to be
removed, by a depicting diet. Some
German physicians in their city prac-
tice recommend stair climbing when
mountain climbing is not feasible. -
