CinchOna.

Cinchona was originally called count
ess POWDER" from the fact that 1t was said
to have been introduced into Europe by
the Countess Of Cinchona, wife of the vice.
roy of Peru. 1t was also called Peruvian
bark and Jesuits' bark, from the country
where it was originally discovered and
from the Jesuit fathers who used 1t in
medical practice. 1t was first used In the
cure of intermittent fevers about 164O.
The tree from which the bark Is procured
grows in Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, New
Granada and many other parts OF South
America and has been planted with sue
cess in India and Ceylon. There are said
to BIO over dozen varieties of the cinchona
producing plant, all Of which yield bark
of different quality. Quinine, or quinia,
an alkaloid contained in the bark, was dis
covered by Pelletier and Caventon in 1920.
It is beloved to be a probable constituent
of all the yellow cinchona barks Artifi-
cial quinine was prepared alphabetically by
w. L. Scott in 1866. The principal man
ufactories of quinine are In London, Bor-
lin, Paris New York and Philadelphia
and it is stated that the artificial manufac-
ture of this article has progressed to such
an extent that the preparation of the medi-
cine from the bark will probably cease in
the next few years. The manufacture OF
quinine in 1883 reached total Of 236, 600
pounds.

As to HypnOtisln.

No less parsonage than DR.. Parkhurst
has taken the trouble to point out anew
that nobody ever heard Of anybody's being
hypnotized to make him do something
good. Hypnotism, the doctor thinks from
the evidence, is always exerted to promote
evil, and for that reason he is inclined to
condemn it. -
The fact commented on by the doctor
has often been spoken of, but it really con-
stitutes no fault of hypnotism. 1t Is sim
ply the fault of human nature. Man gray
itates toward the bad. When hypnotlsm
Is exerted in the same direction with this
natural gravitation, it Is effective When
it Is exerted in the opposite direction, 1t Is
simply trying to pull the load up hill, and
it fails. There are no doubt plenty Of
persons, especially ladies, who go about
weaving subtle hypnotic charms around
men for the noble purpose of leading them
Alright, just as the bad people whom we
hear of through the police reports go about
hypnotizing for ILL., But the good hypno-
lists work at tremendous disadvantage.
1t is up grade for them and down grade
for the bad hypnotists. AS between a
Svengalio friend trying to hypnotic man
to stay out and play poker and wife try
ing to hypnotize him to come home the
odds are with the friend.
Perhaps hypnotism will develop to a
point where it can overcome this natural
disadvantage, or perhaps mankind will get
over the brow of the hill so that the way
to good will be down grade.-Chicago

MRS. PIETZEL TALKS.

Not Surprised by tho Finding OF Flor
Children's 10 lies at Toronto.
CHICAGO, July l7.-Mrs. Pietzel, the
wife of the man said to have been
killed by Holmes, resides in this city at
6O36 Sangamon street. She is very ill
now and barely able to talk, but she
consented to q short interview. She
said:
''Of course, I know nothing about
the matter as have no means Of &C.
curing any information. I have no
doubt that all my family have been
killed and never expect to see any of
them again. 1 made up my mind long
ago that they were dead and the news
from Toronto is no surprise to me. I
believe that the boy was murdered
also."
Mrs. Pietzel is too i'll to leave her
room and the shock Of the news OF the
finding of the two bodies has greatly
weakened her.
PHILADELPHIA, July 17.-H. b.
Holmes, accused of having murdered
the Pitzel children, whose bodies were
found in Toronto, denies any knowl'
edge whatever Of the crime. 1t il
probable he will be taken to Canada.

THE HORATiAN TRAMP.

trate's Expense. $
He outstays his welcome In town and
Is brought under the eye Of the law, which
gives to Migrants short shrift. An anus,
ing little police court scene then ensues.
Tho magistrate Is u squatter of the old
school, self educated, self made: and now,
under the exigencies Of the new social life
of the colony, taking upon himself novel
and burdensome responsibilities for the
sake OF acquiring q position for his chill
dren in 'society." He has invited the Wis
itors staying with him to attend the court
and Is In consequence the more anxious to
display his powers. Our deprecating tramp
Is brought before him, condemned to listen
to short homily on the righteousness Of
work and the iniquity Of loafng, and an
eloquent peroration Is brought to an en-
phatic close with q Latin tag-goodness
knows where or when the worthy magis-
trate picked it up-over which he stumbles
and which he mispronounces. In his best
apologetic voice, the tone Of depreciation
just sufficiently overdone to throw the
laugh against his approver and give no
cause for charging him with impertinence,
the occupant Of the dock leans forward and
murmurs:
"Your worship will excuse me, am
sure. I am willing to be fined, even sent
to Jail, without complaining, but cannot
listen without protest to q misquotation of
the author who soothes my weary mo-
ments. The phrase runs your worship
Cum labor extuderit fastidia.
The position Of the worthy squatter can
be imagined, and he hastily gives his un-
welcome prisoner q few hours notice to
leave the town.
Neither is the tramp's boast unfounded.

thorough, and though rough dirty and re-
pulsive he is ripper scholar than many

IMMENSE FREIGHT FERRIES.
The Company Formed and the
z Boats Now Being Con-
struCted.

ST. PAUL, July 17.-f all reports are
correct, the 500 line has finally played
an important trump card in its game OF
securing a strong and thoroughly indie
pendent foothold in the railroad busl-
ness, as far as the traffic out of and into
Chicago is concerned The scheme to
get control of this new traffic is large
and costly one, involving the expendi-
ture of millions. At the same time it
is bold move in the direction Of &C
curing new territory, and, If carried
to completion, will have strong moral
effect upon the conditions Of freight
traffic. Recently new company was
organized at Chicago, known as the
Chicago Transportation company. Its
original foundation was known as the
Lake Michigan Car Ferry company,
and it is with this concern that the 500
is reported as having formed an ALI
ance. By this connection the 500 Sc
cures
An Entrance Into Chicago
by way Of the Lake Michigan water
route. The new company is engaged
in building 26 monster ferries, with
which it is proposed to transport
freight cars into Chicago. Each ferry
is to have capacity of % freight cars.
In addition to the line of ferries, there
is to be added feet Of the most power
full tugboats ever constructed for lake
service. An Immense railroad slip is
to be put in at South Chicago, where
full line Of switching engines are to
take care of the cars on their arrival.
The direct route is to be from Pesh-
tigo, Wis, on the upper lake, to the
slip at South Chicago, an almost
straight water line From Peshtigo,
directly westward about go miles, also
on straight line, is a station on the
500 called Faithorn. From there to
the harbor at Peshtigo line or branch
was laid some time ago and is now in
operation. This branch is to be the
connecting link for the ferry traffic.

How Do You Write One Billion?

There is one sum expressed by the Arabic
numerals upon which the American and
the English mathematicians have never
been able to agree-the exact number OF
naughts to be used in expressing the sum
of I, 900, 600, 900. In this country as well
as in France and several other European
nations one billion Is a thousand millions
and is expressed with q figure and nine
naughts, thus, 1000, 600, 900. In England,
however, they speak of a billion as being
"a million millions" and in writing it
with Arabic characters always use figure
l and 10 naughts, thus, 1000, 900, 600, 600.
Webster appears to take the English view
Of the matter, and very plainly says that "a
billion Is q million Of millions, as many
millions as there are units In a million"
