MANS PROUD PRIVILEGE
He Is the Only Living Creature That Can
Scratch Its Own Back.


The act of back scratching has never
been thought to possess q particularly deep
Specification. 1t has been reserved for NJ
Mouton, French scientific man, to lay
bare its true inwardness. To the simple
fact that on recent occasion the hot wa
ter apparatus of the Mouton menage was
out of order the world owes one of the
most momentous discoveries. One morn
ing, as M. Mouton stepped into the philo-
sophie bathing tub, the unwonted chill Of
the water sent cold current through his
spine The great man shivered. Scien-
tifcally expressed, he was simply suffering
from outaneous irritation In the dorsal
region. In moment he had raised his
hand, scratched the spot, and found-the
true apocalypse of his own and his broth
ers' greatness, for an inspiration had
flashed through his brain. "EurekaW
thought he. Surely no living creature
but man Is endowed with the power Of
cratching his own backW And as he
stepped out of the tub he decided that
there was really something in it.
NJ. Mouton's first care was to give the
subject Of his Investigations decent name,
and 1t is in connection with the 1.-THE dig
lGO-QOrSAl ulOVeIu6nG Gnhb no Will De
known to posterity. To avoid the possible
imputation of putting his fellow man up
with vain conceits, he proceeded to the
monkey house of the Jardin des Plantes
and tickled the backs Of the inmates for
a whole fortnight He was immensely
comforted to find that the animals were
utterly unable to relieve themselves Of
dorsal irritation in the exalted manner Of
M. Mouton himself, but had in every case
to adopt tho ignominious expedient Of call
ing in a companions help. Further In
vestigation among other animals thor
oughly convinced NJ. Mouton that the dig.
ito-dorsal movement is indeed the exclu-
sive and ought therefore to be the most
cherished possession of man. The tool
using capabilities Of man have hitherto
been considered good, If inconclusive, evil
dence to show that there Is no blood rela-
tionship between him and any other cres-
ture But now that NJ. Mouton has dis
closed the true import Of back scratching
an evolution ridden world will doubtless
hold its head proudly erect and look even
the highest anthropoid ape boldly In the
Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

mooEan &ouma TREATMENT.
AntiseptiOs, the archaeological LabOrS-
tory and NIicro-organic Life.

The dawn Of the new treatment, which
was ultimately destined to revolutionize
the whole subject Of wound treatment and
to lead surgeons into paths Of surgical en-
terprise which could never have been
dreamed Of in earlier times, was at hand
Sir (then Mr.. Joseph Lister was at work
In his laboratory in Glasgow and in the
wards Of the Royal inflrmary at Glasgow.
He had conceived the idea Of the antisep-
tic treatment of wounds, and was engaged
In celebrating out Of it system which
ever since has borne his name. In brief,
his method was based upon the assump-
ton that the inlammatory changes OCCUR
ring in wound, associated with suppura-
ton, were due to microbic infection. Here
was q conviction which seemed to convey
with it an inflnity of problems, the solu-
ton of which might rebound to the credit
of surgery
What vast field for speculation and
experiment it seemed to open outl The
fact, however, having been established by
incontrovertible scientific evidence that 1t
was the presence of pathogenio germs in a
wound which caused all those deplorable
complications of blood poisoning, of which
surgeons had so much to complain, the
next step In the evolution of the system
was comparatively an easy one Natural
ly the only thing to be done was to insure
the exclusion of all possible sources Of in
lection. In order to arrive at this desira-
bio condition of things, the most elaborate
measures were deemed to be necessary.
Evidently at the first very serious view
was taken Of the wickedness of germs
and Of their iIlimitable power to propa-
gate evil.
The science Of bacteriology could hardly
then be said to be in existence, and all mi
cro-organisms consequently were able to
do very much as they pleased. But their
time came" when bacteriology blossomed
into q science The archaeological labora-
tory is now the Scotland yard" of micro
organic life. There is SO much known OF
the evil ways Of germs that whenever an
indefnable disease breaks out or an cpl
demio occurs the first questions asked
are, What and where Is the germ1 Then
the bacteriologist, like the detective sent
down from the central police office, pro
ceeds to take up the case, and 1t is seldom
now that he fails to drag the evildoer be
fore the tribunal of science and furnish
proofs by which the micro organism can be
afterward identified Cen

Knots and Miles.

One OF the things which 1t seems diff
cult for the public mind to grasp Is that
there is decided difference between the
knot and the mile 1t Is certainly about
time to have 1t thoroughly understood that
the two are not the same thing. 1t seems
easy enough to remember that mile is
only about 81 per cent Of knot, the latter
being, approximately, 9, OSs feet In length,
while the statute mile measures 8, $50 feet
Three and one-half miles are equal, within
a small fraction, to three knots. The result
Of this difference, Of course, is that the
speed Of vessel In miles per hour Is al
ways considerably larger than when stated
in knots and the confusion Of the terms
sometimes gives rise to rather remarkable
claims Of speed performance. When 20
knot ship, for example, is lightly mention
cd, 1t should be remembered that this real
ly means little over 80 miles; similarly,
with higher figures, which are often glibly
enough stated, the difference between the
terms Is worth bearing In mind. 1t will
help to guard against the forming Of ridio-
ulous estimates OF a vessels capabilities

In Boston socIetH

It happened at reception late IN the
season. The woman poet "a writer for
fun) of society, who looks like duchess
Of the divinely tall, and, in her youth,
most divinely fair type, met the dowager
poet Of the literary set, who is writer by
profession and society woman for the
profit Of IT. Said the tall lady TO the
dumpy lady, "I'm 30 glad to see you, Mrs
-, which haven't done before this
season by reason Of Illness" why, I'm
surprised to hear you say you are glad
to see me-" said No. 3, fixing the others
lorgnette with her steely eyes. IT heard
only last week that you said you thought
me the greatest literary fraud Of the
century" The duchess Of the hyphenated
name was not nonplused, not she. She
merely smiled sweetly and said, Dear
me, isn't 1t strange that any one who does
me the honor to repeat any Of my little say
ings should not repeat the civil onosi"

Nothing Strange,

Intelligent people, who realize the i'm
portant part the blood holds in keeping
the body in normal condition, find no.
thing strange in the number of diseases
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is able to cure.
So many troubles result from impure
blood that the best way to treat them is
through the blood, and it is far better to
use only harmless vegetable compounds
than to dose to excess with quinine, calo-
mel and other drugs. By treating the
blood with Hoods Sarsaparilla, scrofula,
salt rheum and what are commonly
"humors;" dyspepsia, catarrh, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, consumption and other
troubles that originate in impurities of
the blood or impaired circulation, can all
