THE PARAcELsus, cox1r.s,r.
IFrom Nature


In 1927 Theophra stus Won Hohenheim
best known as Paracelsus, delivered
lectures in the University of Basel,
with the sanction of the rector Para
CELSIUS attempted to institute method
of testing the apothecaries of the town
as to their knowledge of the business
of making drugs and determining the
purity of the materials they dispensed
He spoke scornfully of the decoctions,
tinctures, extracts and syrups that the
apothecaries delighted to prepare, call
ing them all soup messes'' (Suppen-
WusO. OF course, the dealers in the
decoctions were up in arms against the
man who attacked their trade. Para
CELSIUS also reused the physicians. He
taught that they should go to nature,
and not to books, for their knowledge;
he rebelled against the doctrine that
was then held by almost every med
zeal man, 1.-THE truth is to be found
only in the ancients'
He boosted that for ten years he had
not opened a single book written by a
follower of Galen, and he spoke of the
GalenistS as men who tried to hide
their folly under red cloaks; and,
worst of all, he delivered his lectures
in German. The physicians and apoth-
ecaries of Basel could not stand these
things. Paraceisus was abused not
only publicly, but also in anonymous
pamphlets; it is said that one of these
productions was found on Sunday
morning affixed to the door of the min
lister. with the superscription: 1.-The
Shade of Galen to Theophrastus, bet
ter called Kakophrastus. OF the at
lacks made on him Paracelsus ex-
claimed: These vile ribaldries would
raise the ire of a turtle dove"
Matters came to a head when a
canon of st. Clara, who had been cured
by three laudanum pills, refused to
pay Paracelsus the 100 forms he had
promised, and sent s forms instead
Paracelsus sued the canon for the
money, but the court dismissed his suit.

True aiming in life is like true aim

We look at flowers and admire them,

per cent. less. The Jerseys are doclle,
the quietness of their disposition tend
ing to the productiveness OF milk, as a
cow of an excitable nature is never
good mixer her nervous energies pc
ing expended in other ways. In add
ton to her docility the Jersey is not
ravenous eater. A test made at Lon
don, Canada, last year showed that the
Jerseys returned 33 per cent. more pro
fit on the amount of food consumed
than any other breed. AT the Maine
Experimental Station, where an eN-
haustive test was made, including the
richest foods, each pound of butter pro-
duced by a Jersey cost 1919 cents, while
the product of the Holsteins cost II
cents and of the Ayrshires 261s cents.
Private tests have shown that butter
can be produced by Jerseys for 121s
cents per pound, which in several cases
covered the cost of ice as we'll as of
| food
Sometimes exception is taken to the
Jersey on account of her size, and the
assertion is frequently made that
when her use as dairy animal is at
an end she will be useless for beef.
Viewed as milk-making machine, size
counts for little except in her favor.
Small cows are more easily housed than
| larger ones, and as they have less mus
| Gle and flesh to maintain, the food is
largely converted into milk. If Jer-
sey cow whose weight runs from 500 to
900 pounds give eight times her weight
in milk and so per cent her weight in
| butter in a year, what should be the
product of the 1,500-pound cow? The
size of an animal, unless brute strength
is required. should not be considered.
In buying machinery, the purchaser
ascertains, if possible, the capacity OF
the machine, it's dura bility and life. "
These points should be considered when
! buying a n1ilk-producing machine. The
Jersey can be relied on for doing good
work in the dairy for ten or twelve
/ years "Massena,' Jersey owned by
Mrs. Jones, of Brockville, Canada, gave
$50 pounds Of butter. or over 5000 pounds
! of milk. in a tWelVe-month when in her
sixteenth year .Landseer's Fancy" in
her twelfth year. produced almost 927
pounds of butter in a year, or nearly
her own weight These are not rare
cases as to the durability of this breed
for dairy purposes, but a, mere fraction
of what might be cited to show the
life of the Jerseys. If a Jersey cow,
albeit she is small in size. be fitted for
her work for ten or fifteen years, d
| longer period than most farm machinry
can be relied on, surely no objection
! ought to be taken to her size, or no
weight attached to the statement that
she cannot be turned into beef A COW
that gives on an average one pound of
butter daily for ten or twelve years is
profitable enough if nothing be left of
her at the expiration of that period
save her hide and bones.

body is squarely built, the teats set
well apart, and If the animal be a

The advance in packing house pro-
ducts and live hogs became effective
today, Notwithstanding the combined
protest that went up from the packers
of Omaha, Kansas City, st. Joseph and
Sioux City. In fact. the opposition to
the advance was not even accorded a
respectful hearing, so they claim, and
the packers now feel that there are
stronger powers at w.Jr1l to Kill the in
dllstries of the Missouri valley than
have ever before shown their
hands In consequence there is a good
deal of bitterness and all sorts of
threats are heard against the rail-

There is nothing to prevent packers

which ports excellent service for Eu-
ropean ports have been provided
Should packers avail themselves of
the Ohio river rate, with the arbitrary
added to the ports named, they will be
met with equalization on rates to Liv-

points, as against shipments from New
York. Philadelphia and Baltimore If
the packers agree among themselves
to thus route their export shipments
the Chicago roads and trunk lines will
fall over one another in an effort to
adjust the rates. 1t is for the packers

advance in silence or show their
power"

NoBLER WORK TO DO.

Amid the gathering storms of doubt,
Our hearts grow faint and cold;
The strength wetacannet live without
Thy love will not withhold.
Our prayers accept; our sins forgive;
Our youthful zeal renew;
Shape for us holier lives to live
And nobler work to do.

THE VALUE OF DECISION.

Decision is noble element of char
acter. The vascillating man can never
realize grea tness. He wastes his inn
pulses and time in hesitancy. He
poises too long between opposite forces,
and when he moves onward it is with
the faltering step of indecision. His fac
ulties are relaXed-they are not con-
densed into a manly force by a deter
mined will. How many opportunities
for doing good in great or small de-
gree are lost by indecision! Whilst we
are asking ourselves, "Shall or shall
| not?' the moment is passed, and the
flower of joy which we might have CIV
en- is withered, and often can be no
more revived even by tears of peni-
tence. ''-Churchman.
If any farm animal should have
sweet, clean provender it Is the mich
COW, whose product daily finds it's way
into the veins of the family, to pro-
mote health or procure disease.
Young cows do not give as good
quality of milk as cows of mature age
do. a lean COW gives poor milk, and
fat COW gives rich milk; so that a
really young cow does not give milk
with the elements that an older COW
possesses.

A Curiosity of Taste.

What do you think of the idea of
sweetening your sugar with little salt
or quinine? Don't laugh at the PROPOSE
ton, for there is more of point to it
than can be seen on the surface of the
mere assertion Professor Zunte, Ger
man chemist and an expert before some
big Berlin physiological society, acct
dentally discovered the fact that sugars
sweetening properties were actually
strengthened by the addition of mi
mute quantity of salt From his expert
ments he finds that if to a solution of
sugar there be added slight amount of
salt and water, so weak that it excites
no saline TASTE the result proves that
the strength of the sugar is much aug
mented thereby. He also says that the
very weakest possible solution of Qui-
nine and water produces a similar eff
feet The explanation which the learned
professor gives of the above seeming in
congruity is this-that, be the sadness
or bitterness ever SO feeble, providing it
is sufficient to excite the follicles of the
tongue at all, it imparts an increased
sensibility to the organ of taste. For
fear that the above will be hardly intel
ligible, will close by giving a quotation
from Professor Zunte: ''The sensation
of taste is wonderfully excited by the
simultaneous stimuli of the epyrean fol-
licles and the consequent enlargement
of their peletia. st. Louis Republic.

Then there are many who carry the

tacle it would be if we could tear off
the mask Of human defilement or beat
drum that would bring up the whole
army of the worlds transgressions-the
deception, the fraud, and the rapine,
and the murder, and the crime of all
centuries! Aye, if l could sound the
trumpet of resurrection in the soul of the
best men in this audience, and all the
dead sins Of the past should come up, we
could not endure the sight. Sin, grim

A Practical WOoer.

A young lady, who was the recipient
of attention from two young men equal
ly eligible III point of good looks, social
position and financial solidity, and en-
tertained similar feelings for both, was
in a quandary as to which to choose
should they propose. A friend to whom
she confded her difficulty suggested
that she should put both to some test to
prove the strength of their affection.
She took the advice, and to the first who
avowed his affection said:
''You tell me that you love me. How
do know that you are sincere? What
would you dc to show your love?'
"Anything, p" replied the ardent low
er, who had a spice of romance in his
disposition. 'Anything-Iw would go to
the worlds end for you | would die
for you, if necessary.
Such ardent protestations brought the
bushes to her cheeks and thrill OF
happiness to her, and she thought that
certainly no one could love her more
fondly than he did She asked him,
however, for little delay before giving
an answer to his suit
Meanwhile the other proposed, and
