The Prolonged Bath.

Modern Medicine says that patient
in the st. Louis hospital was recently
kept immersed in bathtub for six
weeks for the cure of large slOughing
abscess, a current of wafer being con-
stantly passed through the tub. The
writer has, within the last 30 years,
treated many cases of gangrene, crush
cd limbs, sloughing Sores ETC., by this
method and has found better results
than by any other Its success is.due to
the asepsis secured by the constant i'm
mersion. The presenCeOf large guam
tity of water is not favorable to the de-
velopment of pus forming germs, so that
suppuration is lessened and at the same
time the poisons resulting from the ao-
tion of the disease germs are washed
away These poisons, when left in con-
tact with the tissues, paralyzo tho liy-
ing cells and destroy them, thus him
dering the reparative efforts, but by the
constant cleansing effected by the con-
tact of water kept pure by frequent re-
newal the tissues are protected from the
toxic influence of these poisens, and
healthful repair is thus promoted.
While in Vienna some IL years ago
the writer found patients living in tubs
of water who had been immersed for
periods varying from six months to a
year or more. The cells of the body are
accustomed TO contact with moisture, In
this respect they may even be compared
to aquatic animals. The blood cells are
carried by current Of watery fluid,
and the tissue cells are all constantly
bathed in this fluid, so that the contact
of water with the living tissues is a
condition closely analogous to that
which is naturally maintained within
the body. New York Ledger.

The Philadelphia Times says: ''EV-
cry dollar in the savings banks repre-
sents an expenditure Of 100 cents worth
of labor measured in gold value. If the
government should authorize the free
coinage Of silver and thus establish sill
YER recommendation, every dollar in the
savings banks would shrink to 80 cents
worth Of gold value. In other words
every deposit would be cut in haR-a
gold dollar worth 100 cents would be
paid for with silver dollar worth 90
cents. It is this monstrous fraud which
the advocates Of cheap money insist
shall be perpetrated by the congress and
president to be elected November next.
Could there be q more bold faced
falsehood than this? In all probability
four-fifths of these deposits were made
In silver dollars or silver certificates
Some of them were made years ago,
and some of them were made this year
The market value Of silver has been
fluctuating during this period, but q
check on any Of these savings banks
calling for 81 was payable in 100 cop
per cents or one paper dollar, whether
a silver certificate, gold certificate,
greenback, national bank note OF other
kind, or in silver coin or in gold coin.
They were equal and interchangeable
between drawer, drawee and payee, or
at the grocery, factory or almost any
where else in this country. If free coin
age came, such check would still call
for 100 cents and not so cents, nor any
representative Of so cents. Nor would
any bank dare to offer but 30 cents to
any depositor who had given in one dol
lar--no matter Of what kind-at the re-
ceiving teller's window. There may be
arguments against free silver worthy
of a respectful hearing, but such rash
statements as those Of the Philadelphia
Times must elicit only a guffaw. Gin

Even if it were possible for man to
live without breathing air he oonld not
exist ON the earth if it were without an
atmosphere. Plants derive carbon, the
most important element of their food,
from the air, and without plants there
could be no food for animals, and there
fore no human heings Water also
comes from the atmosphere, but if there
were no water there could be neither
plants nor animals. II food and water
could be supplied in some other way.
the world would still be unhabitable by
plants and animals owing to the severi-
ty of the cold. Without an atmosphere
there would be no winds, and Conse-
4uently no waves or ocean currents.

been supplied by some unknown cause
would be a stagnant pool, nninhabit-
able by .seaweed or fsh.-Exehange.

A Little Girls Riddle.

Several children were asking riddles
the other day, and a bright little girl
who listened got the idea of what
riddle WAS The next day she went to
her father and said, "There was a blind
and curtains on a pole and the pole fell
and two men laughed" The father
promptly gave it up when she said,
Don't you see the point?" Upon being
answered in the negative she puzzled
her brains for awhile, and said, "Nei-
Their do l." She is now practicing ON
riddles that have some meaning in
them. -.

THE EpELwEIss MYTH.
It IL Not Rare Plant, Nor Does It Grow
at Very Great Heights.

Il IL Not . Rare Plant, Nor Does 1t Grow
at Very Great Heights.
It is commonly reported and is no
less commonly believed by the ineXperi-
enced tourist that edelweiss is plant
which only grows in the most dangerous
and inaccessible situations. OF course
with it, as with any other Alpine plant
this may now and then happen. But as
a rule it is found on rough and rather
stony slopes of grass, the ordinary pas
ture of sheep and goats, at heights rang
ing from about 5000 to 5000 feet
above the sea level. 1t is not often met
with below the former limit and seldom
above the latter. Once it could be
plucked-probably it has now been ex-
terminated-by the side Of a path few
hundred feet above Zermatt and within
half an hour Of the hotels 1t was album
dant, and no doubt still is, all about
the little inn at the Tosa falls, and it
may be picked in handfuls within
couple of hours easy walk from the
baths of San Bernardino. That it is
great rarity is also an article Of faith,
but this is another myth. 1t is doubt
less plant local rather than universal
in the Alps, but there are few districts
where it does not occur, often abundant
". What has caused it to be SO priced
is difficult to understand. 1t is an ever
lasting, but that is almost equivalent to
saying that it has no great beauty. The
plant attains a height Of about four
i-,obo- Lc--'''~ o''~ -" ---'0 H0'-7-'- on O
stem. These are star shaped, few
pointed rays down covered, as il they
were cut out Of pale gray velvet, sur
rounding two or three yellowish tufts
The dry stem and narrow leaves are
similarly covered. Its scientific name is
Gnaphalium leontopodium, and the ge-
nus to which it belongs has three or
four representatives in the Alps, one OF
them G. dioicum, being also abundant
on dry moors in Britain. 1t is, i'll short,
flower quaint rather than beautiful
The edelweiss is an extremely easy
plant to raise from seed and should be
treated as an annual. The seed can be
obtained readily for a few pence from
any respectable nurseryman. 1t is, how
ever, very difficult plant to transplant
with any success. Sometimes the edel-
weiss, when torn from its native noun
tain and set out in a garden, will have
sufficient life in it to flower and then
pine away aud die. This is the almost
invariable result Of these attempted
transplantations,
1t may be added that edelweiss, when
grown on anything like the sea level,
or, in fact, anywhere away from home,
entirely loses its distinctive character
and becomes worthless as garden
plant. Perhaps these remarks will save
some tourists sponge bags from being
filled, which, if they do not become
heated and die on the journey, wild
barely linger long enough to enable the
proud owner to point to them rs eEi-
.dence that he has actually been to
Switzerland. London Standard.

The great pity of the selfish person is
not that he robs others Of pleasure or

unhappy himself. The selfish person is
