Three Of Kind.

If the fraudulent Democratic majority
in the Legislature fails to remove Isaac
Fl. Maynard, the New York Bar associa-
ton can still institute action in the
proper court for his disbarment. The
judge who would refuse to disbar him
on the facts would be retired in utter
ignominy by popular vote when his
term expired. While the Bar associa-
ton is considering disbarment as to
Maynard it should consider the advis,.-
bility of taking the same action against
Senator David b. ELL and Secretary Of
State Frank Rice. All three were con-
demned as principals in theft by Judge
Cullen's decision in the Emans contempt
case, and all three are lawyers.-New

How Silver Ia Assayed.

Fragments of the ore, or alleged
metal, are placed in cupels. The cupels
are placed in muffle and the muffie is
exposed to intense heat until the metal
is melted. This heat is maintained un-
dl the baser metal is oxidized and is
partly volatilized and partly absorbed
by the cupel. AS the silver will not OK
idize it remains in globules in the cupels.
The weight of these globules is then COM
pared with the weight of the original
fragments.
A cupel is small, shallow vessel
made of bone ash. The muffle is made
Of fireclay. 1t is about inches long
and about inches high, and has flat
bottom and an arched top. One end of

Great Minds Run in the Same Oh

The approach of fly time suggeste,
idea to man in Nebraska for COW tail
holder. A clamp like a clothespin
catches the bushy end of the tail, and
two cords with snap attachment fasten
the tail to cows leg, to post or to the
milking stool. The same day that the
Nebraska man got his patent for a COW
tail holder man in Maine got one for
the same purpose. The Maine mans tail
holder is of "a single piece of wire coiled
so as to connect the tail with the cows
leg.-Harper's Young People.

An Old Man I'm Brazil.

A South American newspaper tells of
a man living in Sac Paulo, Brazil, who
is considerably over 100 years old and
who is growing young again. He has
recently grown new set of teeth and
his hair. which had turned gray. Is al
most black again. He is in active bust
ness as horse trader and occasionally
he rides over ten leagues in a day. He
has been married three times, is now a

its story that the old man suffered great

dow tn Boil Cabbage without Filling the
House with OdOrs.


Many persons refrain from cooking
cabbage in their houses because of the
permeating and lasting odor which fills
the whole house whenever this whole
some and delicate vegetable is boiled.
If, however, it be done quickly and
properly it can be had every day in the
year and the olfactory senses never be
once offended. Let the vessel in which
the cabbage is to be cooked be filled TO a
depth sufficient to cover the head of
cabbage with boiling water. Place it
on the hottest part of the stove. Put in
the cabbage and dessert spoonful of BIZ
carbonate of soda. Cover the vessel and
boil hard for fifteen minutes. The cab
bage is now done and is delicate and
tender, and no one outside of the kitchen
has learned anything of the operation
which has just been performed.

The doctor specific medicines go straight to
the diseased organ, and can he plainly felt at
work in the diseased parts very shortly after
their use is begun. They are pleasant to take,
mild but searching in action, yet agree with
the most delicate lady or child, do not reduce
the strength, ana can be used while at the
usual occupation. as many patients still able
for hard work and close attention to business
are often slowly, surrey, vet unconsciously
dying, knowing themselves ill, yet deceived
into false security, they procrastinate and
put Off the matter until the case is rendered
incurable. The doctor earnestly requests all
persons under treatment to write him often, as
advice may be necessary week after week in
order to pueh any given case on as rapidly as
possible, and good common-sense statement
on the part of the patient by mail is the next
thing to- personal consultation.

Chronic Diseases.

The doctor treats no acute diseases, but de-
votes his whole time to the treatment of
chronic and long standing and surgical dis
eases; cases given up by other doctors and pro-
nounced incurable, he most desires to see. Dr.
Humphrey has had nearly 5000 cures in the
state of Michigan, while his patients all told in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Alabama, Ten
nessee. Georgia. Ohio and Indiana, have been
fully five times that number; nearly two-thirds
of these sufferers were given up as hopeless
invalids, some to he blind, some deaf and
others prey to scrofula, chronic kidney dis
ease, consumption, destructive female troubles
Among others, hundreds of children hopeless
ly deformed. But behold how many of them
see and hear, while nearly all are rapidly
being cured.
The doctor is surrounded with the finest and
most extensive collection of instruments ever
imported to this country for examining and
treating all forms of chronic ailments of the
head, face, eye, ear, throat, chest. lungs, heart
stomach. liver, spleen, kidneys, bowels, repro
ductive organs, urinary organs, brain and
nervous system, paralysis. growths, joint dis
eases, piles, hip diseases, sciatca, skin diseases

Examination Free to All.
Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled 10 use expensive instruments
and chemicals i'm making analyses, micro
scopic and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, belieN
ing it to be Il part of the physicians duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate a monthly visit crowds flock to
see him, and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking a
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is, and the prospect of a cure, and
most wonderful of all he values his first
impression and first look at patient more
than all else, and DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner in all re-
spects. Following the plan of st. Georges
Hospital OF London, he registers every
particular as to the patients physical con-
dition and mental state. The condition of
each organ, location of any and all dis
eased parts. and whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount OF vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power of the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy and destructive capabilities of the dis
ease Thus knowing the actual condition
of the tissues and the effect of specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case is
durable or not, and can also give the APP
proximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well in a few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years.
