Charles Still found the hip out Of

The case of Mr.. 7. A. Bailey, Of
Springfield, ILL.,, is an interesting
one. For twelve years he had
suffered severely from what the
doctors said was knee trouble. He
could get around on crutches dur
ing the intervals when his leg was
not In an extension brace or a
plaster cast. During his many
years of suffering, ne endured all
the tortures usually administered
by the medical profession in such
cases. His last course of torture
was at the st. Johns hospital in
Springfield, where the president of
the State Medical board, who has
charge of the hospital, diagnosed
the case as a broken cartilage in
the knee joint. Mr.. Bailey re-
fused to consent to surgical
operation, and came to Kirks.ville.
At the first Osteopathic treatment
DIR. Charlie Still set a dislocated
hip. and the patient was enabled
to walk without his crutches at
once. The afflicted limb, which
for II years had been severa
inches shorter than the OF her. was
restored to its natural le'lth, and
the swelling has all disappeared
from the knee. The real trouble
which was in the hip,. had been
overlooked for twelve Gears by the
best NJ. DIS in the country. Il
think the extension brace is the
most excruciating e.d ingen-
ious torture the medict-: RECESSION
has yet invented sad - % the
writer. "And 1 think the world
nee s only to see Osteopathy and
its work to be convinced that the
new treatment is all right. 1t
can't be explained in print.'
Such cures are not considered
remarkable in Kirksville. With
invalids CT every description cured
and sent home rejoicing almost
every day, to spread the good news
among their acquaintance, it is
no wonder the afflicted are pour
ing into Kirksville from almost
every state in the union.
AS the business of the Intirmary
increases, the science of Osteopathy
itself is also being constantly de-
veloped, and the field of its sue
cessful application to the diseases
ofthe human family gr- ws broader
each day. Results are being OBJ
talned here that all other curative
systems have long since declared
Ypossible.

ated under the laws of Missouri
to teach the new science, the
growth has kept pace with the
business of the Infirmary. In aaa,

African ivory is now conceded to be the
finest. The first quality Of this comes
from near the equator, and 1t has been re-
marked with regard to this fact that the
nearer the equator the smaller is the ele-
phant, but the larger the tusks. The ivory
from equatorial Africa Is closer in the
grain and has less tendency to become yell
low by exposure than Indian ivory. The
finest transparent African ivory is collect
ed along the west coast between attitudes
10 degrees north and i0degrees south, and
this Is believed to teterierate in quality
and to be more liable to damage with in
crease of latitude in either direction. The
whitest ivory comes from the east coast.
1t is considered to be In best condition
when recently cut. 1t has then a mellow,
warm transparent tint, as II soaked in
oil, and very little appearaace Of grain or
texture.
Indian ivory has an opaque, dead white
color and atendeney to become discolored.
OF the Asian varieties Siam is considered
to be the finest, being much superior in
appearance and density. Theivory of the
mammoth tusks is not very much esteem
ed, particularly in England. 1t Is con-
sidered too dry and brittle for elaborate
work, besides which 1t is very liable to
turn yellow. As matter Of fact, the
largest tusks very rarely leave .Asiatic
Russia, being too rotten for industrial
purposes. Chambers Journal.

Chaplain Bagby,s Prayer Against Time.


The youthful Mr.. Bagby, the chaplain
Of the last house, was exceedingly popular
personally among the members of all par.
ties and creeds. He made a hot contest
for the place and filled it to the satisfac-
ton of everybody after he had won it.
He is somewhat of q wag and can enjoy a
joke as mush as any layman. The Rev.
Mr.. Bagby, with but single exception,
always cut his invocations short at the
opening of the house each morning, and
the reason for this one long prayer has
just leaked ont.
One morning during the last session the
clerks at the speakers desk were unable
to find the house journal, without the
reading of which the business of the house
could not be begun. The chaplain had be.
gun his prayer and was drifting along,
when the reading clerk touched him on
the arm and in an excited whisper said:
Keep on with the prayer until we find
the journal. We have lost it. ~
The chaplain continued, and q few sec.
onds later the reading clerk again nudged
him, requesting that he continue longer,
as they were still unable to find the miss
ing volume.
Don't stop until tell you," he said
keep this thing up. SO that we don't get
into q scrapo. We will find it in min.

The preacher continued his prayer, and

The Safest Place In Battle.

General Lee told an amusing story to q
Charlottesville Chronicle reporter. When
he was about to deliver his address at the
Confederate reunion, in Craig county ro.
Gently, some one came to him and asked
him if he would speak to an old colored
man who wished to speak to him. The
general consented, and the old negro,
whose name was Sam, and who had fought
throughout the war, came and received
the proffered hand. General Lee ut once
began to put questions to tho old fellow,
who answered with wonderful skill. The
general then asked him where he had seen
tho best time during the war.
'At Chickamauga, at once replied the
darky because ran as soon as the firing
began"
'But how did you know which way to
run in such hot battle" asked General
Lee, with merry twinkle in his eye.
II went directly to tho safest place, and
the first 1 could find," answered Sam,
coming to his climax.
Again hc was asked how he could tell
which place was safe.
II krowed it was safe, answered Sam,
" cause | skipped for do place whar lie

General Lee enjoyed tho joke and laugh

WHY WE STAND UPRIGHT.
A Special Complex Mechanism Is Require
For the PURPOSE.

A Special Compiler Mechanism Is Required
For the Purpose.
We are so accustomed 20 standing up-
right as a natural attitude that few of
us think what a special complex mech
anism is required for this puprose A
moments consideration will show that
the ordinary explanation of the erect
position 1.-THE center of gravity to be di-
rectly above the feet) is insufficient.
When man is suddenly shot, whether
from the front or behind, he drops on
his face, for the truth is that there is
much more weight in the front of the
spinal column than behind it.
The fact is that when we are standing
large number of powerful muscles
(both front and back are simultaneous
ly at work, the effects of their action
being to neutrahEe each other. Thus,
the legs would fall forward were it not
that they are kept vertical on the feet
by the strong tendon (the Achilles J
at the hack of the heel. At the same
time the muscles of the thigh are tight
ened so as to prevent us taking q sitting
position, and the muscles of the back
are pulled tense so that the trunk does
not stoop forward. The head is prevent
ed from dropping on the chest by the
hgaments in the nape of the neck.
That the upright is not its normal po-
sition is easily shown by the fact that
man mods as he is falling asleep, for as
soon as the controlling nervous force is
deadened the head drops forward by its
own weight, only to be pulled back into
position again with a jerk when the
brain becomes suddenly aware of an un-
usual attitude. Scottish American.

We know of but one community in
the world where dyspepsia is prac-
tically unknown, and that is the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y.
These good people have been study
ing the subject of digestion for more
than hundred years, and that they
understand it pretty thoroughly, is
evidenced in the foregoing fact.
Their Digestive Cordial is the safest
and best remedy in cases of indiges-
tion that we know of. A trial bottle
can be had through your druggists
for the trifiing sum of 10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial sup
plies the system with food already
digested, and at the same time aids
the digestion of other foods. 1t will
almost instantly relieve the ordinary
symptoms of indigestion, and no suf-
ferer need to be told what these are.

ministers Pay.

Why do not country Christian people
give at least a decent support to their
ministers? That solemn problem recurs
every now and again. The city minister
receives more than he is worth, is pet
ted. caressed, fondled and sent to Eu-
rope whenever he has the toothache or
mumps and gets to feel that he is an
idol to be worshipped. The country
minister starves to death on no salary
at all and gets to look as though he had
been shot through knothole. 1t is to
be hoped he will have a good time in
heaven, for he has anything but good
time here. One Of these poor creatures,
not 100 miles from New York, was SO
wretchedly off that his parishioners got
up an entertainment as a benefit for
him. They were very careful to extract
from the sum total every expense to
which they had been put, and when the
net sum was handed tohim it amounted
to just $1.7 79' Think Of that, ye small
souled folk who want the gospel of
brotherly love preached to you and think
to cheat The Lord by putting plugged
copper into the contribution box. --New
