LIVED wITHOUTA BRAIN.
Human Paradox who Has Been Mystery
to Physicians.

Human Paradox Who Has Been Mystery
to Physicians.
From the Wilkesbarre Record
A Williamsport man has surprised the
scientists by living for years without a
brain. John Bly,, aged 20 years, who di-
ed recently, has suffered for long time
with tumor, which grew into the very
base of the brain and cccasioned his
death. The growth had a visible effect
upon his brain, and the case became a
curiosity to the medical profession. The
tumor was imbedded too deeply into the
brain tissue to admit of an operation. 1t
was four d that the tumor was nearly as
large as a billiard oall 1t was so locat-
ed as to demo alize the nerves
of the sight center, and as con-
sequence young Bly, was blind for over
three years.
1t was developed at the autopsy that
the entire brain had been followed out by
the actiOn of the tumor. The cavity was
at least FIVE inches in length and was
filled with pus. All that was left of the
brain was a thin SHE'LL composed of the
tougher tissues, which were less suscep-
tible to the process of decay. When an
incision was made in the she'll the whole
mass collapsed.
The circumstance which made the case
almost unprecedented in the annals of
medical science was the manner in which
the patient retained his nationality and
faculties under the circumstances. He
had the senses of touch, taste, hearing
and smell, had very tolerable control of
his locomotor muscles, could talk, and,
in fact, was comparatively disconnected
in no other way than by the loss of Wis
ion. His retention of memory was re-
markable. He was able to memOrize
poems up to within two weeks of his
death,

BETTER FARMING HENCEFORTH.

Slipshod farming will never az ain pay
in this country, if it ever did. 1t was
not much trouble to farm fifty years ago.
ANYBODY who could hold pillow or era
die or scythe, and knew enough to sow
and plant and reap at the proper season,
could farm. All there was to do was to
plant corn and SOW wheat and oats md
grass seed, harvest and market them.
The animals that were bred did not
amount to much anyhow. In the east
the local butcher would Dome and buy
the calves, and as cow was a cow it
did not make any difference how long
she lived. The business was dead easy,
as far as management went. 1t was then
all work and no management, but now
the management is the principal things
The farmer. must think, and think hard.
He finds it necessary to diversity his
crops more than ever, and he is often at
a loss TO decide in which direction to do
it. He has brains to compete with both
on and off the farm. : Bogus buffers,
cotton seed oil lard, and authorizations of
every one of his products that can be
adulterated are placed side by side with
his productions in the market; and it is
of no use for him to grumble about it..
While he is grumbling the other fellow
gets the money. He must not grumble,
but think and plan. He must recognize
the fact that agricultural pursuits, like
other lines of business, have their COM
plications, and that nothing on earth
but the exercise of the gray matter in
his head will unravel them.

MONEY Is NOT CHEAP.
From the Augusta Chronicle.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
Talking to one of Augustus leading
| business men, the other day, he said:
''If your position is correct, why is mon
. ey SO cheap?"
We have answered this query several
times, but our goldbug friends will not
stay answered. They have gotten few
erroneous ideas so deeply rooted in their
minds that they will not surrender them
even when their error is plainly proven.
! There is not greater fallacy connected
with the money question than the idea
that money is cheap because it can be
borrowed at low rate of interest. The
terms upon which a thing may be bOr-
roWed AMI the price at which it, may e
bought are two very different PROPOSE
tons. The man who loans the money
does not part with its ownership, but
ouiy she use of it. If a man goes to
New York with ample gilt-edged securi-
ty he can obtain the use of money for a
very low rate of interest, but it still be-
longs to the New York banker and mu
be subject to his demand at any time.
Should the visitor to New York desire to
buy the money instead of borrowing it,
he would find that he must give up
more of his securities to obtain it than
ever before. ss.ssSsSs
Let US see if we cannot make it plain
er. Suppose the horses in the country
were owned by comparatively few pee
pie, and the owners of the horses said
we will hire our horses to any of our
friends with handsome carriages for
twenty-five cents day, but we will not
sell them. They are getting scarce and
we prefer to keep them. Would the pub
lie consider that horses were cheap be-
cause their owners were willing for tho Sc
persons owning handsome carriages to
use them at low rae of hire? That
condition of things might be pleasant
enough for the few rich people owning
handsome carriages, but would hold out
little comfort for the masses who we @
without.
Suppose that A. is man with money
and B. is an expert book-keeper. B.
needs some of AS money to meet his
daily wants, and A. wants B IS skill to
carry on business. Now when these two
meet to make a contract. under which
B. goes to work for A B. buys AS mon
ey with his services, just as truly as A.
buys BIS services with his money. 1t is
purchase on both sides. Money is A. s
capital; skill is BIS.
If during long period of years there
has been "a basis of exchange under
which /. year of B. s service was wor b
$1,000 of As money, and now B. finds
that for the same services he can b. Y
only 81, 200 of AS money, though e
gives just as much service as ever, is it
probable that B. can be convinc-
ed that money is cheap simply because
A. can borrow the use of it at low rate
of intesest on gilt-edge security? TT e
hire of money may be cheap, but any
one who wants to buy 1T soon finds thar
money is dearer than he ever knew it be
fore. 1t takes more service
or more goods to buy money
than for years before, and under such
conditions money is not CHEAP.

WAN7S TO SCRAP Win UNCLE SAM.

La Correspondence, newspaper
published in Havana, calls on Spain to
declare war against the United States
Immediately, and predicts that as soon
as the proclamation is issued by the
COrtes the southern states will secede
as they did in 1861 that Mexico will at
once invade and take possession of
Texas, California, Arizona, and New
Mexico, and the great American Re-
public will be dismembered and rem
dered pOwerless to cope with the army
and navy Of Spain. The New Orleans
States says it is quite evident that the
Editor of La Correspondence has a
head on his shoulders which contains
about as mnch brains as can be found
in a baby's rattlebOx. In the event of
war the first section Ct this country
that Spain would hear from in very
unpleasant manner would be the
southern states, and so far as Mexico
invading this country is concerned
the idea is so absurd that even the
burros have to laugh in their peculi; r
way.

10 the Editor: In your account Of
the recent accident near Egypt, IN
which two men were killed by burst
ing boiler, YOU say: THE explosion
was due to the ignorance and careless
ness of the fireman who failed TO eN-
anime a rusty valve through which the
water could not be conducted into the
boiler until after the latter had be-
come hot. The boiler was about forty
years old and had been used to hoist
coal at Farmville before the war"
The effect of this statement is to
apologize and cover up one of the most
dastardly crimes that has ever been
committed in this State. 1t is but
modified form of the explanation
given by the perpetrator of the terri
bic deed. As he is now in jail Hwaiting
his trial at the next term Of the Supe-
rior Court in this county, it would not
be proper 10 speak of the evidence
against him. 1t may not be improper
however, to say that the boiler was a
good one, made of the best iron, and
although purchased about forty years
ago for raising coal at Farmville, it was
never used for that or any other pur-
pose till Mr.. Matthew Gilmore fitted il

chased it few years ago the original
paint was still on it. When it was set

the best material. There was no rusty
valve about it. The boiler was equiva-
lent to new one. 1t was set up under
the supervision of Mr.. Matthew Gil
more. who had been trained in en-
gineering in Scotland, where all me
chanics are well trained. twas under
his supervision at the time of the ex-
plosion. There was no ignorance or
carelessness connected with it. 1t was
due altogether to the hand which
screwed down the safety valve the
night before the explosion for the pur-
pose of causing it. 1t was a crime
committed in the darkness of night.
