A very simple form of this treatmene
is recommended by n. Doprdurki, o1
Moscow. While he was one day exam@
lining n patient who wss suffering
from an excrueiating headache he used
percussion of the cranium. Just as is
done for the chest, to ascertain wheth-
er any material lesion was pcrceptihle.
Two or three minutes after finishing
his examination he was greatly as
tonished TO hear his patient say that
the headache had completely disap-
peared. NJ. Dourdouki has since prsc-
ticed this method with much success.
especially in cases where there was no
apparent cause for headache, or when
it assumed the nervous form. The per-
cussion must be made lightly. with
only one or two fingers. without pro-
ducing any unpleasant or too pro-
nounced sensation, and the intensity
of the taps can be gradually increased.
In this way vibratory massage Is ad-
ministered, which Is calculated TO re-
move the distressing symptoms.
1t is evident that in many cases this
relief can be only momentary. and the
cause of the headache must then be
discovered, in order that cure may
be effected.

The following is a true account of
the development of a curious and
alarming complaint which suddenly
attacked Chappie and Cholly as they
were driving back from the club
the other day, according to the New
York Tribune, and which is still af-
fording great amusement to their
friends. One of these young gentle
men who was driving his companion
in his buggy suddenly complained of a
stitch IN his left side. The pain grew
more and more intense, until he be-
came quite seriously frightened, when,
to the CONSERVATION of the pair, the
other man was attacked precisely in
the same fashion on the right side
With ffteen-mile drive ahead of
them, and fancying themselves seized
by some mysterious and inscrutable
disease, with the pain increasing every
moment, the prospect was not pleas
ant one. Wildly they lashed the horse
in order to reach the nearest village
and doctor, and on they dashed over
stones and ruts, leaving the rustic
passers-by agape with astonishment.
Suddenly, in the midst of his lamenta-
tions over the pain. Cholly exclaimed:
Don't you smell something burning?"
and a strong smell of fire which, if it
had not been for their excitement and
fright, they would have noticed long
before, made itself very apparent.

clapped his hand on his waistcoat

their immense relief they found that
paper box of matches had ignited it

only slowly burned its way through
the garments of the owner of the box,
but had extended itself to the trousers

ONLY A TRAMP.
But There Were Tears, and Bitter Ones,
Shedsfor Him.

She0Hf0r Him.
TITS only one of them pesky tramps,
Bill" said brakeman to his compan-
ion, as the lights from two lanterns fell
on the form of man mangled as only
a railroad train can mangle. 81 sup
pose we will have to get him into the
caboose and leave him at the station" :"
They gathered up the remains as
best they could, says the New York
Recorder, and, after getting them
aboard the train, gave the signal to go
ahead.
Yes, he was only tramp. The
brakeman addressed as Bill had seen
the man fall between two cars while
stepping from one to another. The
train had been stopped, and the two
railroaders went back to see what
damage had been done. In the ca
boose they made search of the dead
mans clothes. They didn't lind much;
no money, not even knife. In the in
side pocket of the ragged vest was
greasy-looking envelope. In taking
out the letter tiny band of gold fell
to the floor. While one picked up the
ring the other read the letter. 1t had
been well fingered. and there were un-
mistakable spots that only tears could
have caused. The handwriting was
woman's, and read as follows:
Dear Jim: Mary is dead, and in
her last words she inquired for papa.
She missed you SO much, and never
seemed to be well after you went. l
am sorry, Jim, for what / said that
night, and if you will come back
will never complain and worry you
any more. 1 send you Mary's ring;
you remember when you got it for her.
Please come back to your wife"
That was all. The wife had heard
in some way where her husband was
and had sent him the letter. 1t oc-

at the postmark, and with difficulty. it
was seen that it was q month old, and
that it was that of the very place at
which they had decided to leave the
dead body.
Jim must have met with misfortune,
and was stealing his way home, which
he reached only to be carried out and
laid beside little Mary.

BUFFALOES IN ENGLAND.
Specimens Of the Few Survivors
Shipped Across tho Atlantic
The Experiment of Breeding the Animals
In English Parks Considered by
Britons as Very Likely to
Prove Unsuccessful

Fifty. or even half that number of
years ago, the possibility of the ''buf-
fier" of the American plains becoming
extinct was not SO much as dreamed
of, says the st. James Budget. For
ages they had wandered in countless
herds on the plains on the eastern side
of the Rocky mountains, providing the
red Indian with an apparently mex
haustible supply of meat. Thousands
were killed for their tongues and the
steak cut out of the hump-the most
delicate part. The bisons, from which
the early 'svoyagers" and the fur
traders obtained their "pemmican,"
did not suffer from the demands made
upon their numbers by the Indians;
but the white hunter, with his ever
improving firearms, did the work of
destruction. Where once the herds
were SO numerous that it was the prac-
tice to drive them gradually to the
edge of precipice and there frighten
them over, none can be found. At last
the United States government awoke
to the fact that America was upon the
point of losing the bison. The agents
fculty in procuring some specimens
which were required. The result was
that small herd of about forty is now
strictly preserved in the Yellowstone
park. But one or two wander away
most years and are soon killed when
once outside the protected territory;
the security of the herd is consequent
II by no means assured. The news,
therefore, that number Of Nebraska
buffaloes have been imported to this
country, having been obtained for the
purpose of being turned down in some
of our parks, will be welcomed by our
naturalists.
1t is, is,unfortunately,v very questionable
if the experiment of keeping and
breeding the grand beasts in our Eng
lish parks will be attended with any
success. The bison on its native plains
is accustomed to great heat in summer
and extreme cold in winter. But, for
all that, the climate is constant one,
and the change of the variability, the
fog and the damp of this country will
be great. Indeed, when we look at the
condition of the bison's European re-
1ation, the aurochs, we may we'll doubt
if the genus bison will long remain an
inhabitant of the earth. It may be
many years before we quite lose it, for
representatives will probably linger
for comparatively long period pre-
served in parks, just as the ancient
white British cattle linger now. But,
as in the case of the latter, the want
of fresh blood and the consequent
close interbreeding will tell in time
and result in constantly diminishing
fertility, until in the course of years
the last representative of the race will
die and the world know them no more
We may safely say the extinction will
not happen in our own time, or even in
that Of the next few generations; but
it is to be feared that come it surely |

SUICIDE.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 19.-Earnest Dig
man, Il private of troop T, Sixth cavalry,
stationed at Fort Leavenworth, made an
Intellectual attempt last night to end his
life with morphine. Dependency, caused
by being reduced from sergeant TO private,
the disgrace of having been in the guard
house. and the fear of court martial be-
cause of coming to Kansas City to see his
wife without permission, led TO the at
tempt. DIgman's wife died early this
morning from morphine administered by
her own hand. Her maiden name WAS
Lizzie Pannon, aud she lived at Topeka.
This was Digman's third attempt at sui
eide. He was put under surveillance
Jast night at police headquarters, his
mind being in disordered condition.

The Demand for Equal Rights May Les
! sen 1t.
| The courteous Difference paid to
women by all who have the slightest
claim to be considered as gentlemen is,
| in the opinion of many persons, likely
| to be lessened by the demands for equal
rights and responsibilities made by the
advanced and progressive section of the
sex. The story of the lady who, on
getting into full carriage, was met
| by the question from the only male oc-
cupant as to whether or not she was an
advocate for the equality of the sexes,
| and on replying in the affirmative was
informed she might stand during the
remainder of the journey, is scarcely an
exaggerated illustration of the feelings
of not few men.
In some instanc es women appear to
recognize their increasing responsible
ties, and tale comes to us from New
port, respecting grand dinner organ
lied by ladies at an expensive restaur-
ant, where the viands were par
taken of to the music ofl band,
ladies alone being present, the hus-
bands being detained in the city by the
inexorable claims of business or pleas
ure. Each lady had the somewhat
novel experience of paying for herself
with her husbands money!, the feast
being what is known as a Dutch
treat" We are further informed that
the whole proceeding was success,
and that, even at the end of the day,
when the feast was o'er," and the
reckoning had arrived, when even men
are said to laugh no more," there were
no defau1ters, and no lady had unfor-
tunately left her purse at home.
Seriously considered, the change in
the relative positions of men and women
must affect eventually many of the
smaller courtesies of life. The man
whose place has been taken by woman
can hardly be expected to be as lavish
of his hospitality and as careless of his
expenses as when he was in receipt of
the income which she now appropriates,
and the question may be pushed still
further, and the inquiry made as to
whether he is likely to become the pro-
prietor of a household of his OWN.

ARMouR,S BUTCHERS.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 1S.-Fifty butchers
