SCIENCE or RUBBING.


Why u Course Of Massage Usually Is Of
Great Benefit.
No method of treating the various
aches and pains to which the flesh is
heir is more agreeable to the sufferer,
or oftener effective. than course of in
telligeut rubbing or massage.
We may believe that the benefits de-
rived are due TO the personal electricity
which is impaired from the body OF
the one who performs the rubbing. or
we may say that counter irrita ton of
the superficial parts is set up by the
friction. There are those who assert
that it is the activity into which the
parts in question are urged by the
process that is Of benefit. The las. exc
PLANTATION is probably the most nearly
correct.
But however we may explain the fact,
It is certain that even unskifled manip-
ulation may be productive of relief and
comfort 10 wonderful degree: while
If the manipulation is acquainted with
the anatomy OF the human body. his
touch may seem at times almost magic
al in dispensing pain.
By tracing out an infamed nerve it is
possible for MASSACHUSETTS professional
rubbers are called-to reduce the most
troublesome of neuralgias. even to the
extent OF relieving the ever-dreaded
and long-lingering sciatica. Muscles
which which refuse to contract. and
joints which for a long time have been
stiff. may be brought into renewed az
tivity.
OF course il is not possible for every
one to show the skill of a trained mas
sour: but any of us can do much in .
humble way toward relieving the suf
ferings of those who are dear to us.
We should always be careful to assist
the flow Of the blood in its course
through the painful parts, md this
fluid bears with it both food and
strength. Whether a muscle, which is
very often the seat Of the pain. is tired
and sore from over-use. or cramped and
stiff from noE-rse. the soothing action
of q fresh supply of blood is equally &C.
ccptable.
Nerves require more delicate hand
ling, as they are often exquisitely sen.
sitive to the slightest touch; but pa
tent persistence and care are Ger.
tain to be productive Of greater or less
relief.
1t is not necessary in every instance
to exercise SO much dclicacy. however,
as there are many conditions which are
more rapidly benefited BY the vigorous
use Of a crash towel till the superficial
parts over the seat Of the trouble are
aglow.
Circular motions. pinching and slap
ping all enter into the methods OF . suo
ceSsful masseur.
Finally, the success of the treatment
OF pain by rubbing is to be found, not
so much in the brute force exhibited
In the manipuiaticns, rs in the gentle
educated touch which is able to reeoR
nize II oncc the rcgCire1nents Of the IN
aividua, case. Youths Companion.

THE COREAN CAPITAL.
Al Shutdown Every Good Citizen Retires
His House.


His House.
Seoul. the capital of the Corcau
kingdom, is the only city where wide
streets are found, and the main street,
leading to the royal palace, is. indeed,
immensely wide, so much so that two
rows of smaller matched houses and
shops are built in the middle of the
street itself. thus forming, as it were,
three parallel streets of one street; but
these houses are removed and pulled
down twice or three times year, when
his majesty, the king, chooses to come
out OF his palace and goes in his state
chair either to visit the tombs of his
ancestors, some miles out of town, or
to meet the ENJOYS Of the Chinese en-
peror, short way out of the west gate
of the capital, and place where AJpe-
culiar sort of triumphal arch
built in masonry and half in l6cquered
wood, has been erected, close by an ar
tificial cut in the rocky hill, which, in
honor of the Chinese messengers, goes
by the name of the "Pekin pass"
All the cities in Corea are walled
and the gates are opened at sunrise
ohA SAoSCu WIN sCtSihS sum-
we'll remember at Seoul how many
times i have had 20 run SO as not to be
locked ont of the town, and vivid be-
fore me is yet the picture of hundreds
of men, women and children on foot or
on tiny ponies. or leading laden bulls,
scranbling to get in or out while the
"big bell" in the center of the town an
nounced with its mournful sound that
with the last rays of light the heavy
wooden gates lined with iron would be
again closed till the morning.
How well ! remember the hoarse
voices of the gatekeepers shouting out,
night after night, that time was up,
and hurrying the weary travellers 70
enter the precincts of the royal city;
then the huge iron padlocks and bolts
were fastened, the gatekeepers retired
to the adjoining house to continue the
interrupted gambling which occupied
their day. and a few rusty old spears
standing in row on a rack were left
to take care of the safety of the town
and Of its inha bitants. With the sun
every noise ceased. every good citizen
retired to his house, and only an occa-
sional leopard now and then crawled
over the city wall and made peregrina-
tiOns in the darkness over the capital.

STATE DEMOCRATS
Fixing Up Their Campaign so They
Will Not Stumble Over Each
Others Toes.

Special to the LIGHT:
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. g.. The
Democratic State Executive COM
mittee met at ii o'clock this morn
ing in the state capitol and went
into executive session at once,
barring everyone save the candi-
dates on the state ticket.
The object of the meeting, it is
generally conceded, will be to adj
wise a reduction in the number Of
delegates at the next state conven-
ton. Chairman Dudley and others,
who expressed themselves on the
subject, seemed to think that there
will be a system and plan Of cam
paign formulated by which there
will be no conflict in the
doctrine of Democracy as
enunciated by the public
speakers who will take the stump.
There is a concensus Of opinion to
the effect that there should be an
understanding on the financial
question, so that one Democratic
speaker will not be advocating free
and unlimited coinage of silver
and another taking the position
that such a policy will ruin the
country. Only about twenty OF
the committee are here.

Death of Frances Old King.

LONDON, Sept. S.--Comte de Paris
died at $40 this morning at the
Stowe House. The death scene
was one of quiet and peace on the
part OF the Comte and of profound
emotion to the circle Of relatives
about the bedside. The family and
old servants Of the family were all
in attendance, and to each, the
head Of the royal house OF
France, early in the night,
feebly said a few kind words
of farewell, after which the family
knelt at the bedside and offered up
heartfelt prayers for the dying.
He then became too weak to speak,
though his mind vas evidently
clear, and he slowly passed away.
From this it is inferred the
French Government refused to
grant the permission for the in
terment to take place at Dreux.
The remains Of the Comte De
Paris will be burned at Weibridge,
in Surry county.
