OH the treatment of pneu-
monia, the disease which doctors
dislike to handle probably more than
any other. Debate on the treatment
alter the prayer was open for discus
sion, and was prolonged and sifted the
subject to the bottom. There was
some difference of opinion about the
water applications, and in fact no two
physicians were found who treated
the cases exactly alike. The use OF
coal tar derivatives, especially anti.
pyrine, was held to be dangerous, and
murderous in the case of the latter.

ton for that part of the minutes which

Two Beautiful Sisters Attempt Suicide IN
Chicago and One of Them is Dead,
CHICAGO, May 5.-There was sem
sation in the Leland hotel late yester-
day afternoon when two beautiful
young ladies were discovered in one
of the rooms almost at deaths door
from the effect of morphine. Physi-
clans were summoned and set to work
to resucitate them. In the case OF the
younger lady their efforts were sue.
cessful after some time, but the elder,
in spite of every endeavor, remained
unconscious. 1t developed that they
were olga Plows, aged 10 years, and
her sister Mercedes, aged Is, sisters Of
the well known contectioner Edwin
Plows.
They came to the Leland a week
ago with their luggage and registered
as Miss Orine and Miss Vargeiave OF
New York They were very hand
some and attracted a great deal of at
tention as they passed in and out OF
the hotel. When Mercedes was sut-
ficiently restored to talk she said that
on Tuesday last she aud her sister had
swallowed Is quarter grains of NOR
phine tablets and slept until late in
the afternoon Wednesday and realizing
that their attempt at suicide had been
a failure. They sent for more NOR
phine and took SO quarter-grain tab

Late last night Mercedes was
rapidly recovering, but 1T was

The Civic Value of the Teacher.

Since the days of Aristotle and his
predecessor, Plato, there has, think
been no great ethical or political writer
who has ignored what | may perhaps
call the civic value of education. Soc.
rates himself Gf indeed the "Theages'
is good authority, in a passage which
is possibly familiar to You as it is quot
ed by Roger Ascham in "The Scholemas-
ter" enunciates the opinion that "no one
goeth about more godlie purpose than
he that is mindful of the good bringing
up both of hys owne and other mems chill
dren." "What greater or better serv-
ice," says Cicero, "can we render to the
state than by teaching and educating the
young?"
St. Chrysostom, setting the seal of
Christian authority to the judgment of
the refined pagan world, exclaims,
"There is no greater art than this of
education, for what is equal to the pow
er of disciplining the character and
molding the understand of a youth?'-

GALVESTON, May 5.-The steamship
Leonard, of the Sierra line OF Spanish
royal mail steamers, crossed the outer
bar today drawing full 16 feet l inch.
She was laden with cotton, cotton
seed meal, copper bullion ana ore.
This breaks the record, the Leonard
crossing with inches more than any
vessel that mas yet crossed the bar
At the time she crossed the pilots
flag indicated a depth of Ii feet
inches.
On March 26 steamship Francisco
crossed the bar, drawing Is feet 8
inches. On April 26 the steamshi q
AMETHYST crossed, drawing Is feet II
inches. Now comes the Leonard with
l6 feet / inch, which proves con.
clusively that the jetties are accomp-

There is general rejoicing here over
the result, and if the present screw is
maintained it is predicted here that
before August next there will be a

as landscape painter and would have
secuted the idea of painting portraits.
"However, l gradually came to the
realization that as rule the drawing in
landscape was very faulty and weak. /

in for good figure education, and so be
able to draw anything. l therefore went
in carefully for that branch of art, re-
turned to Aberdeen and began landscape
painting and occasional portraits. Grad

A Deinition of somnambulism.

In the earlier days it was the common
ly accepted idea that the somnambulist
was possessed. Anything and every
thing that could rot be understood or
explained was of the supernatural. To
see an individual apparently asleep and
utterly oblivious to the greater number
of surrounding objects and yet so keen
ly awake to others as to be able to per-
form the most intricate actions without
the aid of the senses was so greatly at
variance with the common experience
of mankind as to call up feelings of as
tonishment and awe, not alone to the
minds of the vulgar or laymen, but to
those accustomed to scientific investiga-
ton. Modern science has at least dis
PEELED this idea of the supernatural,
though it has not yet been able to fur
nish rational theory which will ac-
count for all of the manifestations of the
affection. 1t has done much, however,
toward calculating the functions of diff
ferent parts of the nervous system and
in that way prepared the mind for a
fuller understanding.
Thus, in 1916, came definition of
somnambulism as ga condition in which
certain senses and faculties are sup
pressed or rendered thoroughly impas-
sive, while others prevail in most I'M
wonted exaltation, in which an individ-
ual, though asleep, feels and acts most
energetically, holding an anomalous
species of communication with the ex-
ternal world, awake to objects of atten-
tion and most profoundly torpid to
things at the time Indifferent, condi-
ton respecting which most commonly
the patient on awakening retains no rec
objection, but on any relapse into which
train of thought and feeling related to
and associated with the antecedent par
oxysm will very often develoO."-St.

The Hidden Life Man.

The young man who made an unhappy
marriage and was divorced was for years
a mystery to his creditors, because he
did not pay his debts, though he worked
hard day and night. His reputation in
that time suffered terribly, and he lost
caste with many people who had former
ly admired him. When the woman from
whom he had been divorced died some
time later from an excruciatingly pain
full disease, he began to pay his debts.
There are exceedingly few people who
know that all the money which he could
earn he gave to make her life less mis-
erable.-New York Tribune.

DUN'S REPORT.
NEW YoRK's IMPORTS $4,000 MORE
THAN HER EXPORTS.
Two Hundred and Forty Failures in the
United States and Canada-southern
Cities Nearly All Report Trade
Improved-Business Notes.

NEW YORK, May 5.-R. q. Dun Il
Co.'s Weekly Review says:
Had business in Wall street been
unsound or unhealthy the collapse in
prices during the past week might
have caused panic Nearly all
stocks fell, nut industrials were most
seriously depressed, and while the
average decline in all stocks were
about 6 points for the week cordage
fell 43 points, sugar 40 and Manhatton
26. Several failures occurred without
general disturbance, and appointment
of receivers for the Cordage company
is in some sense relief. Other spec
ulative markets on the whole are
rather stronger than week ago.
At nearly all points the back ward
season and bad weather, with slow
collections, gives cause of complaint.
At st. Louis business is active, collec.
tions heavy, grain receipts large and
river expectation unusually heavy.
Money is in healthy demand and
country advices good. AT most south,
ern points trade is improving, though
at Louisville money is close. At
Nashville the financial situation is
quiet. At Little Rock collections are
slow. AT Macon trade is good, and
at Knoxville and Columbus some
what improved.
At Augusta business is dull, but
collections are fair. At Savannah
trade has improved, especially in
naval stores. Business is gaining at
New Orleans though crop prospects
are less favorable on account of storms.
Iron trade shows no improvement. At
Pittsburg sales of $4,000, 900 pounds of
lake copper to American consumers
at IL cents is reported. Tin and lead
are weak and coal is dull. In the boot
and shoe trade there has rarely been
such dullness.
Receipts Of cattle in the west are
slightly larger than a year ago.
Wool sales at Boston. Philadelphia
and New York for the year are 25, 000,.
600 pounds less than last year to date.
Trade in woolens Is narrow and disap-
pointing, and in cottons waiting and
uncertain. Speculative markets are
rather strong. Wheat advanced /

per barrel with scarcely any discern
able reason, though Western reports
regarding coming crops are satisfac-
tory. Oil dropped nearly9 cents per
barrel, but cotton Is unchanged,
though sales here have been h 5avy.
Prices of commodities average A 10, /
per cent lower than week ago and
tending downward.
AS monetary differences increased
exports from New York were very
small last week and for the last four
weeks about $4 900, 900 below those OF
last year, SO imports for the past
month are probably $4,000 or more
greater than exported.
Among failures Of the week only
one is reported rating above. 5000, 900,
only one between $4,000 and $780,.

AMONG treasury officials,

take such action.
