he might have more time for work. In
1777 he removed to Vienna and later to
Dresden, where he acquired a wide reputa-
ton as physician and writer Of medical
works.
At tho age of 81 he decided that tho sys~
tenn under which he wasworking was rad
ically wrong, SO he gave up his lucrative
practice and returned to Leipsic to study
and experiment. 1t was there that he
adopted tho theory Of Like cures Ike"
which Is the groundwork on which rests
the whole homeopathic system. After
fully testing the principle by trying the
effect of various drugs on himself, and aft
or collecting great mass of statistics, he
announced his theory to the world. His
suggestions were received with indiffer-
enoe or ridicule, and during the next Is
years he was the object Of ceaseless attacks
from those who were opposed to innova-
tions. During this period he published
several books expounding the principle
His last ono, in which he reduced his the
DRY to system, created a great sensation
in Germany, and for dozen years bitter
warfare was waged between the old and
the new schools.
Finally he conquered most OF the oppo-
sition, and his system was widely accepted.
His own success in practice had much to
do in gaining for him this victory. 3D.
fore he died-in Paris, in 1S43-he had
become the most famous physician of the
age, and his system was rapidly being in
troduced into all parts of Europe. A
statue was erected in his honor by tho
homeopathic physicians ut Leipsic in 1851
and another one at Berlin four years later.
His books are to be found today in every
medical library in the world, and the an
niversary of his birthday will be generally
observed,

Unique Ceremonies ut tho Jefferson Davis
Stone Laying.
A unique, If not the most interesting,
feature of the programme Of the corner
stone laying of the Jefferson Davis monu-
ment on July will be the choral singing
of the familiar rebel songs. 1t is proposed
to form an immense choir, probably CON-
sisting of 500 male and female voices,
which will only render ballads sung In the
south during the war.
The Davis monument Is to be placed in
Monroe park, the spot upon which the first
troops which came to Virginia camped
after hostilities commenced. A platform
will be erected near the site Of the pro-
posed monument, which this unique choir
will occupy. Among the songs which
were familiar to southern soldiers were
"Bonnie Blue Flag" "Lorena, ""Dixie"
and maryland, My Maryland"

In the country where trouble now exists
and like him he was successful. But Gen.
eral Baldissera was recalled In disgrace
from Tigre.
The occasion was the exposure Of what
were known as the Livraghi scandals
Livraghi was q captain In the italian
army and had a custom Of numbering rioh
citizens of Nashua, the capital city of
the province, and Of oonfisoating their
property, which last he duly divided up
with the generals who winked at and even
assisted In the crimes. Livraghi was found
out, but on his trial he told so many un-
pleasant things about his superior officers
that instead of being executed, as he richly
deserved, he was given q sum of money
and told to take himself to distant lands
which he promptly did. General Baldis-
sera was recalled and the only punishment
he received for encouraging villain who
confessed that he had murdered no less
than l, 400 prominent citizens was being
recalled and temporarily put on half pay.
General Baldissera has had romantic
life. AS an infant he was found on door
step by the archbishop Of Udine Austria
He was adopted by the Empress Marianne,
who secured for him the title Of count. He
received a military education at an impe-
rial school and served with great distino-
ton in the war against Italy. Twice he
was decorated and promoted on the battle
field for valorous conduct. When his ma
tive province of Venetia was handed over
to Italy at the close Of the war, he trans
ferred his alliance to the king of Italy,
being appointed to similar rank in the
italian army IS that which he held In the
Austrian. He was promoted to colonel
and later was made staff officer. He was
then made military governor of Tigre and
suoceeded in protecting the frontier against
King Menelek, who has recently delivered
such crushing defeat to General Baratieri
Now he faces Menelek again. l-.

Alarming Possibilities.

There are some awful consequences
which may flow from the general intro
duotion Of the Roentgen ray photog-
raphy. Edison has photographed an OBJ
ject through block of wood 8 inches
thick. What, then, is there to prevent
anybody from photographing anything
anywhere, by night or by day? At pres
ent it requires long exposure to pho
tograph what is inside Of heavy solid,
but undoubtedly in time these tellta1e
pictures can be made with the ordinary
fash light.
Nothing but bone and metal thus far
have been found that will impede the
awful rays. 1t will be as easy to photo
graph the doings Of our neighbors in the
next room as to look out the window.
Spying through keyholes will be done
away. Nay, those whom jealousy or Gu
riosity impels to read ether peoples let
ters can do so even without the formal
ity of opening them by soaking them
with a damp handkerchief. There will
be no sure privacy for anybody any,
where The desperate resort of swallow
ing diamond or a valuable document
to conceal it will no longer avail, for the
inside Of the stomach can be photograph
ed as easily as the face.
If in addition to this the invention
which will photograph thought succeeds
there will be nothing left for any Of us
except to just behave ourselves in the
strictest manner. We shall not dare even
to think anything wrong, for fear it
will be brought up as witness against
us.
In view Of the approach Of this dread
time, it will be good plan now to begin
to practice for tin our minds.

Farms That Are Too Cheap

Farms That Are Too Cheap.
It has been some 20 years since the
discouraged settlers in the dry districts
of certain portions of Kansas and some
other states in the adjoining region gave
up the fight and abandoned the farms
they had attempted to till. They had
been lured to their ruin by the land
agents, who cared not whether they
starved to,death or not or whether they
could raise a bushel Of wheat to the
acre, only so that their money went to
feed the land agent iDsatiate NAV.
Many Of them left thriving farms at
home and went to tho arid lands hoping
to do still better. In ignorance Of the
doom that waited them they strove two
or three years to make farms out Of
ground only fit for grazing and not
much of that. They sank all they had
in the attempt, and rather than starve
went out and left the lands they had
tried in vain to cultivate Many Of them
had put mortgages ON their farms.
These, Of course, could not be paid.
Well, the point is this: Once more
the constituencies land agent is trying
to put these droughty farms on sale,
once more trying to entrap other farm
ers to their death. Look out for him.
The lands where not enough rain falls
to raise crop. are on the market again.
Gorgeous circulars will chant their
praises. Advertisements will be scat
tered broadcast through the country, de-
scribing this alleged paradise Of farm
ers. Do not invest in q single foot Of
land whose possibilities as to rainfall
and everything else you are not fully
acquainted with. Thus you will escape
coming to grief.

The West Virginia Academy of Science

the other night with big meeting at the
university, at which an entertaining pro-
gramme was discussed, the most impor-
tant feature being the explanation by Pro-
lessor L. C. Corbett of machine which
he has invented for measuring the growth

piece Of genius and is receiving praise
from the scientific world.
Chinese and the x Rays.
John Mcguire of Butte, Mon, an anti
quarian of considerable note, has unearthed
what he believes to be the fact that the
cathode or x rays were known to the Chi
nese many centuries ago.
He found in the London Philosophical
journal of 1889 an account Of curious
Chinese mirror which had the power to re-
feet upon screen, by the aid of the suns
rays, objects on the back Of the mirror,
tho mirror being made Of Chinese silver, q
combination Of tin and copper. The Jour-
nal stated that there were but few Of the
mirrors then in existence and that they
wero evidently the remains of lost art.

than will be found in the history the
brave Cubans are making for themselves
day by day.

Wherever Malaria Exists,

The bilious are Its certain prey. In
intermittent and remittent fever,
dumb ague and ague cake, the liver
is always seriously affected, and the
blood contaminated with bile One
of the chief reasons why Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is such a sure de-
fense against chilIs and fever and
every form of malarial disease, is,
that it does away with the liability
to the disease, by reforming irregu-
larity of the hillary organ in ad-
vance of the arrival of the season
when the disease is prevalent.
There is no finer fortifying prepara-
tive for those about visiting or emf
grating to a locality where the
miasma taint exists. There is no
certain immunity from disease in an
endemic or epidemic form, to be Sc
cured by the use of the average
tonics and anti-spasmodlcs. But
where quininc fails the Bitters sue
ceeds; both in preventing and cur
ing. Moreover, it removes every
vestige of dyspepsia, and overcomes
constipation, rheumatism, inactiv-
ity of the kidneys and bladder, and
tranquilizes and strengthens the
nervous system.
