singular Instances OF Miraculous Recovery
from Illness.
According to Vaidy, the French army
cautioned in Bavaria, after the battle
of Austerlitz, had only one hundred
sick in a division of eight thousand
men. being little more than one in the
hundred. When, on the other hand,
an army is subject TO privations or is
discouraged by defeat or want of con-
fidence in it's chiefs, the proportion of
the sick is often fearfully increased.
SO eficacious is a cheerful state Of
mind, from the more healthful nervous
influence which it diffuses through the
frame. that surprising recoveries occa-
siOnally happen which can be ascribed
to no other aus than this.
A singular but instructive instance
fell under the observation of Sir Hum
phry Davy, when, early in life, he was
assisting DIR. Beddoes in his exasri-
ments on the inhalation of nitrous
oxide. DIR. Beddoes having inferred
that the oxide must be a specific for
palsy, a patient was selected for trial
and placed under the care of Davy.
Previously to administering the gas,
Davy inserted a small thermometer un-
der the tongue of the patient to ascer-
tain the temperature. The paralytic
man. wholly ignorant of the process to
which he was to submit, but deeply i'm
pressed by DR.. Beddoes with the GER
tainty of its success. no sooner felt the
thermometer behind his teeth than he
concluded the talisman was IN opera
ton. and in a burst of enthusiasm de-
clared hat he already experienced
the effects of it's benign in
fluenc throughout his whole body.
The opportunity was too tempting
to be lost. Davy did nothing more, but
desired his patient to return on the
following day. The same ceremony
was repeated, the same result followed,
and at the end of a fortnight he was
dismissed cured, no remedy of any kind
except the thermometer having been
used. :
Another remarkable instance occurred
during the siege of Breda in 1925. When
the garrison was on the point of sur
rendering from the ravages of scurvy,
d few walls of sham medicine, intro
duced by the Prince of Oranges orders
ss the most valuable and infallible
specific, and given in drops as such,
produced astonishing effects. Such as
had not moved their limbs for months
before were seen walking in the streets
sound, straight, and whole, and many
who declared they had been rendered
worse by all former remedies recovered
in a few days, to their inexpressible
joy.-Principles of Physiology-Dr. An

A very tall, sallow, raw-boned youth
Of about twenty years shot swift
ly out of an Arkansas rural abode of
slabs and sod and raced madly toward
the thick timber across the road, when
a little, snuff-dipping elderly woman
in a gown made of about four and half
yards of orange yellow and green
'kaliker' came to the door, and shak-
ing a hickory rod toward the r~etreating
figure, called out:

ANCIENT ART.
Rock Engravings OF the Early Persian
DynaStieS.

Rock Engravings OF the Early Persian
Dynasties.
Behistun, or BaghiStan, is a ruined
city Of Persia, noted for a precipitous
rock in its vicinity. one side of which
rises perpendicular to the height of
seventeen hundred feet and bears a
number of remarkable inscriptions, says
the st. Louis Republic. 1t was ancient
1y called Mount Bagistanus and is nov
known as the sacred rock of Behistun.
The lines inscribed on the rock are in
cuneiform characters and were en-
graved by order of the Persian king,
Darius Hystaspis, about five hundred
b. c.. They are in three languages
Persian, Babylonic and Scythic-and
are on the perpendicular face Of the
rock, three hundred feet from the
ground.
Examination shows that great labor
was expended in making the face of the
rock perfectly smooth before Che in
scriptions were put on. Places where
the great stone wall happened to be I'M
even or otherwise defective We're made
smooth by inserting pieces of stones,
which were held in place by molten
lead.
After the inscriptions had been put
on a coating Of silica was spread over
it, and now, after a lapse of twenty-fOur
centuries. this silicious covering is
harder than the face of the rock itself.
the curious characters of the inscription
shining from beneath the polished sur
face as if it were but the work of yes
terday.
James Watson Dawson and Sir Henry
Rawlinson have translated the major
portion of the inscriptions. According
to these two eminent oriental scholars.
it gives the genealogy of Darius Hy-
stasp's for eight generations, recounts
the provinces of his empire and gives a
history of his daring achievements.
Besides the letters and characters, this
great stone book of history is we'll illus
trated.
One of these curious efforts of the
early artists represents Darius armed
with a bow, his foot upon the FRUSTRATED
figure of a man, while nine others
chained together by their necks stand
humbly before him. Taken all in
all, this Behistun inscription is one
of the most remarkable works of art
left by the ancient nations.-Chicago

Wonderful sense of Smell In Dogs.

1t has often been proven that dogs
are able to track their masters through
crowded streets, where it would
be impossible to attribute their ac-
curacy - anything except the
OF smell alone. Mr.. RomaneS, the nat
uralist. once made some interesting ex-
periments as to this wonderful power,
a. exhibited, in his own dog. In these
tests, which were elaborate enough to
deserve a longer and better description
the naturalist found that his dumb
friend could easily follow in the tracks
of his master, though he was far out Of
sight. and that, too, after no less than
eleven persons had followed, stepping
exactly in the tracks made by Mr..
Romares, it being the deliberate inten-
ton to confuse the senses Of the poor
deg II possible. Further experiments
proved hat the animals tracked the
boots instead of the man, for when Ar.
Romanes put on new feotgesr the dog
failed entirely.-St Louis Republic.

THE CAMEL'S REVENGE.
IL ls Baked and the Camel Die Out of
Pure Disgust.

II - nLA ana the Camel Dies Out OF
Pure Disgust.
A very few years ago it CHANGED that
a valuab pie camel, working in an old
mill in Africa, wa severely beaten by
It's driver, who, perceiving that the
camel had treasured up the injury. and
was only waiting a favorable oppor-
tunlty for revenge, kept a strict watch
upon the animal. Time passed away.
the camel, perceiving that it was
watched, was quiet and obedient. and
the driver began to think hat the beat
ing was forgotten.
One night, after the lapse of several
months, the man, who slept on a
raised platform in the mill. whilst,
as is customary, the camel was
stalled in a corner, happening
to remain awake, observed by
the bright moonlight, that when all
was quiet the animal looked cautiously
around, rose softly, and stealing toward
a spot where a bundle of clothing and
a bernous, thrown ~carelessly on the
ground, resembled a sleeping figure,
cast itself with violence upon them,
rolling with all it's weight, and tearing
them most viciously with its teeth.
Satisfied that its revenge was com
plete, the camel was returning to its
corner, when the driver sat up and
spoke. At the sound of his voice, and
perceiving the mistake it had made, the
animal was SO mortified at the failure
and discovery of it's scheme that it
dashed its head against the wall and
died on the spot.-Shefield Telegraph.

Early Efforts at a Navy.

In January, 1913, an act was passed
authorizing the building of four 74-gun
ships and six first class frigates. A
subsequent act authorized the con-
struction of six sloops-of-war and as
many ships on the lakes as the pre.i-
dent might direct. Another act prom
ised any person who, by torpedoes or
other like contrivances, should burn,
sink Or destroy any British-armcd yes
sells, half their value in money. So
much enthusiasm had been created by
the naval victories in 1912, that in
seven of the states acts were passed to
build ships-of-war and present them to
the government. Tho latter projects,
however, failed.-Bosten Budget.

The Text Book Question.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-It seems to me
this is one of the most important ques-
tions we have to deal with. We are sd.
vised to organize, agitate and educate,
and that is just what the farmers have
been trying to do. They have found it
uphill business, however, and whyP Be-
cause we commenced at the wrong end.
AS the old saying is, it is hard to teach
old dogs new tricks, and the same with
old men.
It is generally believed that we have
arrived at the highest state of civiliza-
tion in the worlds history, and that may
be true; but we have something to learn
yet. We have yet to learn how to run a
republican government, and it is not 60
ing to be done by trying to educate old
men. The politicians going around over
the country making speeches have very
little idea Of the ignorance they have to
contend with, but let them single their
men out and talk to fifteen or twenty Of
the old mossbacks, and they will see
where theignorsnce crops out.
It has been less than $50 years since
the people in the New England states
believed in witches, and when some of
them first abandoned that idea they
we're denounced as fanatics and expelled
from the colony. Now the question is,
how far have we advanced in some par
ticularsf One is the money question.
When such men as j. r. Burton and
Geo. I. Anthony will tell the people that
God Almighty made the money. and
that government has no pOlOer to make
money, and thousands believe it, it would
seem that we have not advanced very
far from the intelligence Of the believers
in witches. There are thousands who

bership.
A committee Of seven from the house
is to conduct an inquiry into the Panama
canal affairs in this country, which is to
include an overhauling OF the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company to see il it
ought to forfeit its subsidy from the
government.
Since it is alleged that over $4,000, 900
were used in the United States to pro-
mote the Panama canal scheme, it be-
comes interesting to know what became
of the money. Ex-Secretary of the Navy
r. w. Thompson, Of Indiana, was presi-
dent Of the American end of the COM
pany. He hardly thinks the house for
eign affairs committee took any of it, be-
cause they were such good men that they
would not have done such thing. But
they squelched resol alton against the
scheme that would have killed it in
America had it passed, and SO he thinks
they might possibly have been over
persuaded into some slight impropriety.
He is very sure that he got none Of the
Doodle. At this time this inquiry bids
fair to be a very llfeless proceeding, but
if it should prove to be anything more
than the usual whitewashing affair, it is
predicted that some startling develop,
ments will result. The Nicaragua canal
support does not propose that the inves-
tigation shall 60 below the surface. They
fear the disclosures might prejudice the
people against their own pet cana
scheme.
The bill proposed by the pension sub
committee takes many old names from
the rolls, and will make it much more
difficult to get pensions in the future
The present system Of examinations will
be done away with, and an army Of sur
geons is to come into closer touch with
the applicants. Many other sweeping
changes are to be made that are calcu
lated to bring terror to the hearts Of the
old soldiers. Strong opposition to the
bill has developed among the so-calleC
champions Of the soldier element.

Let Poor Fools Pay Taxes Rich Men Know

While that law was in effect / bought

to evade the payment Of taxes. The COM

Of five of its clerks who held irresponsi-

clerks we're sent out Of the state.
They were informed that their salaries

They went away, anywhere they chose,

company, which paid dividends only on

holders. When the assessors came TO assess
the stockholders Of the company, the
names Of these clerks were given to them,
and the last address which they had sent
to the officers Of the company. The Rsses-
sors could not find them, and the result
was that not one cent of tar was turned
