We call attention to the announce
ment of the Weekly Constitution,
published at Atlanta, Ga. The Con-
stitution has the largest number of
subscribers of any weekly newspaper
published in the world, now having
more than $4,000 regular weekly
subscribers. It wants 100000, and
we commend it to our readers. No
paper has done more for the upbuild-
ing of the South than the Constitu-
ton. 1t has worked for years for
the agricultural development of this
section and for the betterment of the
condition of the farmers.
With recent improvements and
additional facilities the Constitution
is now a better newspaper than ever,
and is in a position to push with in
creased vigor its magnificent work
for the agricultural development of
the South. Being essentially a news
paper, and at the same time dovot-
ing much of it's space to the very
best of current literature and to such
special features as are of peculia in
terest to the farmers, it commends
itself to every farming household.
It will be glad to furnish sample
copies on application, and can be
gotten by clubbing with this paper,
both of which will be sent one year
for the low price of 81 80. All club
bing subscriptions should be sent to
this paper. All requests for sample
copies should be addressed to the
Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.

A TRAGEDY IN SPAIN.
Watercress Recommended as Cure
for Consumption.


for Consumption.
81 see in to-day's Republic" said
DR.. John B. Peters of Boston at the
st. James, "that Mr.. Delano is cur
ing himself of the tobacco habit by
eating watercress. That remedy is
known all over the southern part of
Spain, and speaking of it reminds
me of tragedy that happened in
Madrid many years ago. There was
physician there whose fame was
known all over Spain. Crowds flock
ed to his Office every day. 1t was
impossible for him to devote but
minutes attention to each patient.
One day pale, emaciated face
stood before him. The physician
gave him a glance and told him that
his days were numbered and his
malady, which was consumption, had
passed that stage when physic would
do him any good. The young man
pleaded for the famous doctor to do
something.
"T have plenty of money! said he,
'and am willing to give you all of my
earthly possessions if you will help
me-
"'I have heard" said the physi-
clan, "that at a certain place in
France, naming the point, CON
sumptives have been cured by eating
watercress. I place no confidence in
the story, however, but you might
try it,
"The young man left. Six months
elapsed. The doctors office was
crowded again one day. That same
young man was among them. He
waited until every one had departed
and then he stood before the doc
tor. His chest was broad and strong,
his eyes were bright, his face ruddy
with the bloom Of health, his form
stately, erect and handsome.
"'I have come, said he, TO pay you
whatever sum you ask. You have
saved my life, and all my money be-
longs to you if you want it,
"The doctor looked at his visitor
with amazement. He could scarcely
believe that the man who stood be.
fore him was the same whom he had
advised to go to France and eat
watercress. He went to his desk
without saying word, pulled out a
pistol and killed him. Instantly he
began to cut him open and was just
in the act Of extracting his lungs
when officers, who had heard the
pistols report, rushed in and arrest
ed him. He was placed on trial fol
his life, and his plea of defense wa:
that he had saved the mans life anc
he had the right to take it in the in
terest of science. He was acquitted
but he never had the chance of ana
lying the dead mans lungs to as
certain what effect the watercres:
had had upon them. st. Louis Re

MEDICAL MARVELS.
An English Doctors Idea That Bald
ness is Caused by Certain Food.

PARIS, January 1.-Two facts are
likely to make stir in the medical
world. The first is the explanation
of the new treatment for nervous
diseases by injecting beneath the
skin solution of phosphate of soda,
which in this way is not modified by
passing through the digestive tract,
but is taken up in the original form
and acts directly on the nervous sys-
tenn, portion of the organism for
which it has the greatest affinity.
M. Albert Robin uses a solution of
five grammes Of phosphate of soda
in 100 grammes of sterilized distilled
water. This entirely new method
is remarkably for its simplicity and
harmlessness and is worthy of being
brought to the attention of the pro-
fession. 1t is still at it's inception
and it will probably be perfected
later on. Its marks stride forward
in the path so brilliantly opened up
by the researches of DR.. Brown
Sequard and for which he must some
day receive suitable recognition in
official circles.
The second fact is the researches
of an English physician, Mapother,
on the influence of food on badness.
Since hair contains not less than 5
percent of sulphur and when gray 20
percent of silica, and 10 percent of
iron and manganese, he claims that
two of the forms of foods that near
ly every one takes each day-beef
and milk-have by their chemical
composition the effect of annihilating
these primordial elements of the
hair and whitening the roots.
Mapother thinks that different
albuminoid foods and starchy sub
stances, particularly dark colored
oats, which contain twenty-five per-
cent of silver, have a powerful effect
in making the hair grow. The races
of men that have the finest hair are
usually those living on starchy sub
stances and vegetables.

wAYslDE GOSSIP OF THE PRESS.
While in Australia recently the
following was told me and vouched
for by brother journalist who
claimed to have been present at the
trial when he heard it, says a CORE
spondent of the Birmingham Age
Herald:
The world enjoys having a law
yer taken down, particularly that
class of lawyer who delights in bull
lying witnesses, and who is in the
habit of speaking to men in court
in way that would result in his
being soundly thrashed if he tried
it outside.
Recently lawyer of this type
was cross-questioning an itinerant
peddler Of quack medicines at Sgd
ney, and he began by saying:
81 believe, sir, you call yourself
a doctor?"
"Yes, a kind of a DOCTOR" said
the witness.
ooh, only a kind of one, eh?"
eyes, sir; that's ALL"
(Which do you treat-human be-
ings or cattle?"
81 prefer humans, sir, but l
wouldn't mind trying my hand on
such as you if you was laid up"
The lawyer was too stupid to
guess why the judge and jury
laughed at this, SO he continued:
"Do you make your own medi-
cines?"
Sometimes"
"But not always?"
"No, sir"
"What kinds do you make?"
Sometimes pills -"
"And sometimes powders, eh?"
eyes sir"
''Do you make anything else?"
"Oh, yes"
"What?"
"Intments."
"You mean ointments?"
"Mebbe 1 do"
"What do you do with the oint-
ments?"
"Sell EN-
"What for?"
"To be rubbed into the head"
"What is the purpose in rubbing
the ointment into the head?"
ooh, to lie the brain and make
folks think clearer"
"And the medicine does that?'
"She do"
"Now, if / were to rub a lot O
this ointment into my head, wha
effect would it have?"
"None."
"Why not?" asked the lawyer.
Because" replied the witness
"my medicine does not give mai
brains. It must have something t.
go on, you see, and nature unfort'
nifty didn't fix your head up as sh
did the heads of most men,"
"Could you give me somethin
to eat, ma'am?" asked a tramp 8
a house on Washington avenue tn
other day, says the Detroit Ere
Press.
"No," answered the woman {

and handed him out a linen buster
and a straw hat.
"Thank you, ma'am,' said the
tramp gratefully, "there is just one
thing -"
"We haven'tany drinking water.
The pipes are Frozen" she inter
rupted.
"No, ma'am, but if | might make
so bold as to ask for an old fan. 1t
would go SO beautifully with this
suit of clothes"
But she said that she drew the
line at fans, and shut the door in
his face.

The late Justice Lamar did not
often boast Of his prowess. There is,
however, a young lady now promi-
nentin Washington society towhom
as a little girl he revealed one blood
curdling "reminiscences, says Kate
Fields Washington. He was accus-
toned to visit her fathers house,
and had often noticed her gazing
curiously at his hair, which he wore
very long and fiat to the sides Of his
head. One day he said to her;
"My dear, you look as if you want
ed to ask me something. What
is it?"
eff you please, Mr.. Lamar" she
answered, "why do you wear your
hair that way at the sides?"
Lamar drew on his most serious
expression, and, in a low, hoarse
whisper, between his lifted palms,
he replied;
Because, my dear, I-onee-had
-a-fght- with-a-man-a and
he-cut off-my-ears!"
For a long time afterwards the
little girl was struck with chill of
horror every time shelooked at him,
until one day, in the midst of a
gesture, he swung his hair back far
enough to assure her that his head
was supplied with its normal CON-
plement of members. But she
never, to the day of his death, en-
tirely got over the effect made upon
her by the pretended dread secret

Trenton Democrat. Mr.. Davis
like many other literary writers Of
note, wears long hair, the ends Of

He went to our accommodating
barber, Mr.. Henry Walker, to get {
shave. Mr.. Walker eyed him crit

for something he is not, said to tn,

"No, only shave"
