Just another look at Mars itself. There is an

The Marquis Of Lorne Gathers Inter
esting Facts About Medical Charms.
From the Pittsburo Post.
The Marquis Of Lorne has for some time
past been engaged in hunting uD mysterious
records and interesting facts in connection
with a subject he has carefully kept to him
self. beyond incidentally Mentioning to his
wife, the Princess LOUISE and few friends
that it had reference to medicine. study ia
which he has always taken deep interest,",
says London writer. The secret is now
out and the uncanny studies of the marquis
have made themselves known ia a lecture
he has just delivered before the Society of
Arts, the title Of the lecture being Medical
Charms and All About Them"
To gain full and reliable grip Of his sub
ject the marquis. in addition to much
research. has had to scour the British isles
in order to personally interview the pro-
verbal oldest lnhabitant, as well as in some
instances the most juvenile representative
Of modern precocity in an outlying dis
trict. That the subject matter he has
CLEANED is of great interest will be apparent
upon the unraveling Of his curious dis
coveries.
A quaint instance. 1000 years old among
the druids, was that a bit of oak bark laid
on the wound was enough among the ini-
