The Jc,oisA IFdingS says that in New
York 'no Jew need hesitate to aspire TO
political honors. His religion will prove
no barrier to his success. Livery man is
ratci at his true value, regardless of his
religion"
"A great part Of tho work OF draining
tho Florida swamps west of tho kissi-
NEE, which the Disston syndicate, Of Phil
adelphia, has undertaken, is done, and
the improvement Of the land is almost
inestimable. Tracts that a few years
ago were four and seven feet under water
havo produced heavy crops during the
last season. In the midst Of tho Ever
gades are tho fine lakes connected by
narrow and tortuous rivers, and canals
are being cut from lake to lake, and the
rivers are being Strengthened. Tho OBJ
ject OF this branch OF the work is to
make the Everglades navigable and pro-
vide q market routo for the licld of pro-
ducts OF the country. Already Il current
of throo miles an hour flows through the
waters thus set i'm motion. 1t is propos-
ed TO drain S s,00O,0 acres in all, and the
summer tourists will be ono of the gain
ers by the enterprise. When the work
began the little town Of Kis$imce was
nothing buta Il cypress swamp. No" it
has a big hotel, brick court-heuse, many
handsome residences and Il busy popuia-
ton Of l,700.
"A Shelbyvillo, md, special says :
''Hhe case Of Miss Maggie Dennaghcr,
who has been living on dog flesh for two
weeks or more, is exciting interest. For
several years she has been an invalid, and
for weeks before she began eating dog
flesh she was confined to her bad-a con-
frmed typo Of consumption. Her ply
sician had informed her that there was no
remedy for her. She takes tho oil, drinks
broth, and cats the meat and has finished
an entire dog. To-day sho was up doing
Of another dog. Since it has become
known that she is improving six pronli-
nent citizens have commenced using dog
met. In 1870 DR.. Fred Vanbaughon: Il Ger
man physician, located in this city, sue
cessfully troated many consumptivea by
administering dog oil. Physicians here
are divided in opinion as to the merits
of dog flesh rs remedy for consumption.
Some of them said that tubercular bacil-
lus is not consumption, but is merely
result of consumptive condition, and
that nutrition and proper assimilation
not only prevent supperatior but expell
the bacilli."
= The doctors say that man can feel
nothing in the arm that has been cut off,
but that is all nonsense. Any man who
has lost an arm or leg will tell you that
the fingers and toes on the missing men,
bers som etimes get as cold as any other
part of his anatomy. knew man who
was shot in the arm at Shiloh, and after
the battle was over he was taken to
farmhouse near by, where the doctors
performed the amputation. The man of
the house put the arm in candle-box,
nailed it up and buried it in the orchard.
The next day the wounded soldier COM
planned that his arm troubled him. 1t
was all doubled up, he said, and the fin
gers felt cramped. He grumbled for two
or three days without anybody paying
much attention to him, for the house was
full of wounded men, and the doctors
were two busy so spare time to look after
the amputated arm, but finally he became
so troublesome that they concluded to
try little experiment. So, without tell
ing him what they were going to do
they went to the orchard, dug up the
arm, took it out of the cand,e-boX, laid
1t straight, placed tho fingers in natural
position, wrapped it in cotton batting,
put it in longer box and buried it again.
The man declared he felt his arm re-
lieved at the very moment they were
Strengthening the missing member, and
never complained again. They told him
nothing of what they had done, until he
was about to be discharged from The hos
pital, and then they gave him the story in
full.
