coMMuNlcABlLITv OF CANCER.

Its Possibility Not Proved-ConclusioA
Reached by Medical Writer.
An interesting article on the alleged
communicability of cancer of malig-
nant growth appears in the Medical
Record. 1t says, in part:
From the time that the malignancy
of cancer was recognized, the question
of communicability has borne the brunt
Of the most earnest investigation, and
the hope of it's solution has stimulated
the most ingenious experimentation of
earnest Investigators. The results
OF all such studies have been entirely
negative. There are no proofs of which
we have any knowledge that cancer has
ever been directly or indirectly propa-
gated from one human being to another.
1t is true that there is published an oc-
casional case in which there would ap-
pear on superficial examination to be a
direct relation between cause and effect,
but when such are critically examined
the theory of propagation vanishes in
face of q conscientiously critical
analysis. At best they are coincidental
circumstances following the general
law of accidents. Experiments in the
lower animals have thus far amounted
to nothing, and practically we are as
much in the dark regarding the true
etiology of cancer and its real methods
of dissemination as ever.

A Soothing Car Ride.

The latest cure for insomnia is cheap
The remedy was suggested by an old
doctor to whom despairing young man
had gone for advice. "Of course" said
the doctor, "I could give you drugs that
would put you to sleep, but in the case
Of a young man that is to be avoided.
The reason you cannot sleep is your
nerves are unstrung. That does not nee.
essarily mean that you must put your
nervous system to sleep by the use Of
drugs. What you want is mild excite
ment, that will lift your nervous system
ont of the rut it has fallen into. The
best thing in the world to do that is 0
trolley ride. Don't try to settle upon 9
particular route. just jump on any Cal
that comes along. Don't even ask the
conductor where the Car is going, but
just go along with the car. 1t will sure.
ly come back some time to the point
where you took it. If the route is eight
or ten miles long, SO much the better.
Ono thing is oertain-you will either
sleep during the ride or as soon as it il
over. r."-Philadelphia Record.

Hsw AGopss was Cared For While Tts
Owner Was Away.
We know what we ask our friends to,
do for us, but we seldom know all the
deviatiens which are made from the
original instructions. In fashiona-
bic Chicago fiat few months ago the
society dame who was going to the sea-
shore left her beloved poodle, Mopsa,
In charge of her nearest, dearest friend
In the flat, who was not going away.
Elaborate directions were conveyed as
to what Mopsa was to be fed and how
often-when she was to be bathed and
combed-how carefully she must be
kept from roaming the streets, and 80
on. The faithful friend seemed de-
voted to the charge, and Mopsa's mis-
tress went away with a mind at ease.
On her return Mopsa was delivered in
good health and spirits, but-ohi
frightfully gone off in her looks, tow
zled and ragged-not at oil the aristo-
cratic dog of former days. One day
her mistress said:
maria, can't stand it any longer
do tell me what you did to Mopsa while
was gone? She looks horrid."
And Maria honestly replied:
"Julia, she was such nuisance, al
ways running out when the doors were
open, SO kept her in my old bird
cage"

Most Popular Novels.

The novel OF story which has probably
enjoyed the largest term Of popularity
is Robinson Crusoe," by Daniel Defoe,
published in 1919. This novel attained
great popularity from its first appear
ance and is one of the very few that
have continued to be popular down to
the present day, Or for more than 175
years. Defoe died April "a, 1881. The
next most popular works of fiction were
the Waverley novels of Sir Walter Scott,
published in 1S14-1s31. So successful
have these novels been from then till
now that no fewer than 30 men have
been uninterruptedly engaged by one
Edinburgh firm for the last quarter of a
century in producing them. Of Harriet
Beecher Stoves novel, "Uncle Tom &
Cabin" published in 1851, more than
a million copies in English have been
sold. d.-Philadelphia Times.

(the designations cucking and ducking
were, of course, synonymous in the days
Of Queen Elizabeth) was in 1909. II
was at Loominster, when a woman
named Jenny Pipes, alias Jane Corran,
was paraded through the town on the
ducking stool and ducked in the water
near Kenwater bridge by order Of the
magistrates. In 1917 another woman,
called Sarah Leeke, was wheeled round
the place in the same chair, but moi
ducked, as, fortunately for her, the wa
ter was too low. The instrument of pun
ishment in question has not been useG
since then. Notes and Queries.
