WHAT THE SCHOLARS DID.
The Good Work being done by both
Teachers and Pupils.

Following is the report of the
teachers in the different depart
ments in our public school during
the fifth month Of the term. Even
though the storms have been very
severe during the greater part of
the month, the attendance has been
good, which shows that the interest
is in no way decreasing. The earn
estness of our exceptionally compe
tant teachers cannot fail to call forth
the full capabilities of the pupils,
and the closing of this term will
show degree Of progress that has
heretofore been unknown in the
schools of Bonner's Ferry.

After twenty-five years Of knocking at
the government gates at Washington the
women who would vote nave scored a
second point. The first was to have their
case regularly referred to a special SEN
ate committee. The second is that Sen
ator Warren, of the select committee on
woman suffrage. mas reported to the
senate a joint resolution to amend the
United States constitution so that the
right of citizenship shall not be denied or
abridged on account of sex. and that
congress shall have power to enforce the
prohibition. Now, when both houses of
congress pass Senator Warren's bill and
the president signs it. and then it is ratl-
fed by thirty Of the forty-four
states in the Union. that amendment
will become part of the United States
constitution.

Sir Morell Mackenzie. the famous
British surgeon. had views" on the
woman question as pronounced as on
other things. He believed women should
work for their living and brought his
own daughters up to trades or profess
sions. One daughter. Mrs, Ethel Mac
kenzie McKenna, adopted journalism as
her work and began to write for news
papers, with her fathers approval and
assistance, when she was only eighteen.
She has already achieved fair SUCCESS

The advocates of opening the grounds
and buildings of the Worlds fair on
Sunday propose to move on those who
are opposed to it by new tactics They
now claim in a resolution which has
been laid before the national house OF
representatives that the congressional
act of Aug. 8, 1892. is unconstitutional
The claim is based upon that clause Oh
the United States constitution which de
clares that congress shall make no laws
respecting an establishment of religion
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
They say that closing the exposition
buildings on Sunday will be making q
law respecting an establishment of re
igion.

The Gold Cure for Drunkenness.

The Gold Cure for Drunkenness.
docs bichloride of gold cure drunk
enness?" asks Mr.. Henry Wood in The
Arena. He asks the question in order
that he may answer it himself. He pro
duces on one hand the positive, united
testimony OF number of the most prom
inent members of the medical profession
in the world that no drug known to the
faculty will cure either the alcohol,
opium or choral habit or any other
kind of a drug taking habit or appetite
Then, ON the other hand. Mr.. Wood mar
shals the army of ex-drunkards that are
claimed to owe absolute reformation and
redemption to the gold cure 1t is as
serted for the gold cure that no less than
10000 reformed drunkards stand today
as evidence of its merits From the best
obtainable statistics only per cent. OF
those treated by the Kelley method re-
lapse, Mr.. Wood tells us. The Chicago
Bichloride of Gold club now numbers
400 members. OF these only six are said
to have fallen into their former habits.
The evidence seems to show in face of
the positive statements of the doctors
that it cannot be done that the gold cure
certainly does reform "A large number OF
the patients that take it. How does ii
happen?
Mr.. Wood thinks it is case of sort
of mind cure by perhaps unconscious
cerebration. A great number of men
are brought together bent on the same
idea-getting rid of the alcohol habit.
Contrary to the custom of inebriate asy-
lums, they are put under no restraint.
but allowed to come and go at will.
The surroundings are agreeable. A pow
erful impression is made on the mind.
The French professors of the school Of
Nancy cure drunkenness by hypnotism
as effectually as DR.. Kelley is believed
by many to cure it by his drug. Mr..
Wood thinks the bichloride of gold is
the fetch, SO to speak. to which the at
tention of the patient is attracted while
the benefcent unconscious psychological
process goes on in his mind. The hypo-
dermic injection of the drug takes the
place Of the bright disk ON which the
hypnotic subject is told to fix his atten-
ton. Mr.. Woods idea is ingenious any
how.

THE CATALEPrrC STATE.
A Peculiar Physical Condition Absus
which Doctors Know Little.

From a St. Louis Exchange.
The proposition OF Alexander McIvor
Tyndall to Maj. Moses p Handy 60 he
buried alive for thirty days at the worlds
fair has created a great deal OF interest
owing to Tyndaifs phenomenal record rs q

catalepsia might or might not do, for tho
annals OF medical history are fun Of tie
almost incredible doings II strangely con-
stituted beings who thus defy the laws
which apply 10 ordinary Inortals.
DIR. Charles Z. Hughes. president CT the
neurological section OF the American con-
gress of physicians. was seen yesterday at
his office relative TO Tyndan ani Other re-
markable cataieptics.
Nothing In the widest work II fiction
ever written" said he. lis more thrillingly
wonderful than the history OF trance ssrn-
nambulism and catalepsia as revealed in
medical annals. In fact nearotics have
made history"
What do you think OF Tyndalrs cas-. 20
The condition frequent with him seems
to be trance rather than catalepsy. for
catalepsy is an apparent SUSPENSION OF ali
the functions of life, Including couscisus-
ness, while trance Is an apparent suslsen-
sion OF physical life and an altered q n
sciousness, in which the person entranecd
has beatific visions and often beatific sx-
preston, talking In such condition with I'M
seen and angelic intelligences. We Know
very little about the cause of either G n
dition. and the treatment Is wholly sylap-
tomato"
DR.. Hughes related the remarkable case
of young German patient who cnce ourls
under his care while in a cataleptic state
and who remained thus contin lously for
five years. at the end Of which time ne

DRAWING ROOM CARS.
One of the First Used by Jenny Lind
The Primitive Dining Car.

One of the First Used by Jenny Lind
The Primitive Dining Car.
From the Boston Transcript.
One of the earliest uses Of an exclusive
railroad car in this part of the country was
made by Jenny Lind. The great singer, in
order to be free from the intrusion of inn
pertinent starers, had a passenger car fitted
for her use as a drawing room by the re-
moval of the seats and the supply in their
place of household furniture. This fashion
was frequently adopted by other noted
people of the stage, and by statesmen on
an electoneering tour. Very likely the in
creased demand for the luxury led to the
invention of car, the use of which was
for sale at retail, so to speak-that is, a
chair in it to be rented to any one who came
along The early efforts were constructed
with a view to privacy. being e series OF
apartments of various sizes. The open room.
which has been an encouragement to So
liability, was quickly evolved. 1t is inter-
esting to notice, by the way, that the latest
device for a drawing room car is a return
to the apartment system.
Some of the early dining cars were rough
affairs compared with the uncertainty APP
pointed dining rooms on wheels that are
now found all over the land. In those elder
days you were forced to stand I'D against
a counter built in the car, fore and aft, and
there feed at a trough almost literally one.
since the top of the counter was provided
with ledge to prevent the plates from
being tossed to the floor by the webbing
carr, steadying your hand and arm with as
much skill as you could master. This lux
ury was for the use of the sterner sex only;
women In those days were not expected
to eat while travelling. Clumsy as was this
arrangement, 1t was an Improvement on
the railroad restaurant. into which YOU
rushed to grab your food and swallow IL
without going through the process of masti.
cation, and to swallow a cup of boiling hot
coffee-in your haste your sense OF taste
was paralyzed so that you were unable To
tell what the scalding beverage was-all
the time in mortal terror that the conduc-
tors irritating shout 'AI aboard.' would
come before you had secured q fair eQuiva-
lent for your money.
