A little girl wrote the following
Composition: Boys are men that
nave not got as big as their papas,
and girls are young women that
will be young ladies by and by.
Man was made before women.
When God looked at Adam, he
said to himself: Well, l guess I
can do better if 1 try again, and
than he made Eve. God liked Eve
so much better than Adam that
there have been more woman than
men ever since. Boys are trouble.
They are wearing on everything
but soap. If / had my way, half
the boys in the world would be

Achievements Of Modern Medical sci
ence.

encts
The way in which the art of
healing is keeping pace with the
general advance Of invention and
discovery constitutes one of the
most satisfactory aspects of this
century's wonderful progress.
Many a disease, once classed as
absolutely fatal, has thus been
largely robbed of its terrors, and
the list is steadily lengthening.
The latest to be placed in that
category is one Of the most horri-
BILE, painful and malignant of all
maladies. For the discovery re-
ported at the Cancer Hospital in
New York a few months ago
that cancer can be cured by inoc-
ulation with the virus of erysipe-
disappears to be confirmed by
the tests that have been made.
Although all varieties of malig-
nant tumor are not susceptible of
cure under this treatment, some
analogous procedure will probably
sooner or later do the work for the
rest. Other frlghtful ills that tor
ment their victims under a slow
devouring progress, like leprosy,
for instance, will probably be ov-
ercome by similar methods,
1t seems probable that such vir-
ulent epidemics as cholera, typhus
and yellow fever will, if not before
this century closes, at least while
the twentieth century is still
young, be brought under as cer-
tain subjection as smallpox has
been, and perhaps be made harm
less if they should chance to occur.
1t is believed that science will also
be enabled to vanquish such insid-
ious infections as malaria. Agen-
cies, either new or achieved by the
scientific application of instrum-
entalities perhaps long known,
have placed novel and wonderful
resources in the hands of medicine
and largely replaced the necessity
for drugs. Electricity in its ther,
apeutic uses has already achieved
remarkable results, and we are ap.
parently but at the beginning Of
the chapter. The powerful ban o.
the regular practitioners has beer
removed from hypnotism, and thai
strange physical agent has beer
recognized and employed by some
of the foremost of physicians IL
producing results in healing ant
in strengthening the will that seen
little short of miraculous, Will,
the possible range of its capabili
ties seems as yet to be little known
With the advance of medical
science, its scope has broadenet
and it has grown beyond the cir
cumscribed limits Of what wal
once held to DO its legitimate field
until it is now recognized as in
Guiding the domains Of genera
sanitation, as in improved methods
Of sewerage ventilation, ETC.; anC
of nutrition, as in the introduction
of better classes of food and in
more intelligent preparation there
of for right assimilation into the
human system. BY such means
disease is prevented, and the re-
suits are manifest in remarkable
raising of the average health Of
Of civilized communities and in a
great increase Of longevity.-B -Bos-

The news that Frank Hatton, editor
Of the Washington Post, had been
stricken with paralysis, and the an.
nouncement of his death few days

circle of friends. Mr. Hatton was excep-
tonally popular with newspaper men,
among whom he was generally accepted
as O sort OF standard for all that is
honest, vigorous and independent. ETC
was o hard fightef, but always fair
one, and had few personal enemies even
among those who felt his hardest blows.
As q politician he was q Republican
Of the stalwart stripe, but hin friend
ships were not circumscribed by party
lines, and many prominent Democrats
were proud OF his friendship.
Mr.. Hatton was a native of Ohio and
was born at Cambridge April 90, Lp46.
His father was for years editor of the
Cadiz Republican, and Frank acted as
devil In the printing Office when only
10 years Of age. He soon became re-

A Gallant Rescue.

Here is q very charming cat and dog
story for the truth and accuracy oi
which the proud inhabitants of the
Swiss village where it occurred quite
recently are, one and all, ready to vouch.
, A troublesome eat in the village had
been doomed to a watery death, and the
children or the owner had been told of
70 take IL In sack to the river Aar and
there to drown 1t. The house dog ac-
companied the party to the execution.
which was carried out according to
parental instructions. But, much to the
surprise OF the inmates, short time
after the cat and dog, both soaking wet,
reappeared together at their owners
door.
This is what had happened: The dog,
ON seeing that the sack containing the
cat was thrown into the river, jumped
after 1t, seized IL with his teeth. dragged
u to the bank, tore it open and restored
his friend the cat to life and liberty. III
goes without saying that the death war
