to the most stubborn case of insomnia.
Half the ills of womankind come from
nervousness, which is but a vague way of
saying that they need life force, nerve
tonic, which is electricity.
And in cases OF neuralgia or Intense local
pain of whatever sort, the patient finds
immediate relief, besides permanent bene-
fit, on receiving the flow of current from
one of the high frequency machines de-

Congressman Charles Daniels OF Buffalo.
formerly a justice OF the New York supreme
court, told a story the other day which shows
u what strange evidence people sometimes
adopt conclusions. A man had been con.
yicted of the murder of his wife and the
case was finally carried to the court of aps
peals, which reversed the finding of the
lower court. A special hearing was ordered
by the governor. This was he'd at SYRACUSE.
ard Justice Daniels was called upon to pre-
oide. In examining the jurors, ne man said
that he was prejudiced In the matter. When
asked II he had CLEANED his prejudice from
the papers or by talking with interested par,
ties, or by hearsay, he replied to every ques-
ton that he didn't know a thing about the
case, but that he was, nevertheless, preju-
diced. He was excused, but Justice Daniels
wao not ~atisfied, and he sent the sheriff and
had the juror brought back to him. He asked
bin where he had gained his prejudice. The
fellow replied: 81 don't know anything about
the case, but the lawyers made such idiots OF
themselves in examining the Jurors that I
knew the man must be guilty"
The prosecuting attorney OF a north Mis-,
souri, county and a young attorney noted for
his persistence were recently trying the pre-
liminary hearing OF a criminal case before q
justice of the peace. The yong attorney
asked many irrelevant and incompetent ques-
tons. and when the prosecuting attorney
would object would always say:
"YOur honor, before you pass on that OBJ
lection | want to argue IT,"
Finally the young man asked the same
question the seventh time against the prose-
cutting attorneys objection, when the prose-
cutor. losing his patience, said in a loud
aside:
t.. are you never going to get over be-
ing a COMPOUNDED fool?"
Whereupon the young fellow jumped up
with his usual remark:
"Your honor. before you pass on that l
want to argue It,"
Judge Gary has a dry wit with him that
is occasionally the cause OF his grim court
room being pervaded by a very audible TIT
tering. The other day. says the Green Bag.
one OF the attorneys was airing his indiEnas
ton. He had been robbed. Yes, sir, robbed.
1t was shameful the way things went right
there under the eyes Of the law.
Finally Judge Gary noticed the tuning and
fretting one.
What's the matter now ?" he asked.
Matter? Its a COMPOUNDED outrage. Had
my ~oyercoat stolen right from this room"

probable currents in various parts of the

probable currents in various parts OF the
body and of varying intensity.
Basing their conclusions on such significant
facts as these, specialists in increasing num-
of the universe, this life force, this nerve
force, electricity, in short, as one Of the
most important agencies in medicine, and as
a substitute in many instances for the drugs
and decoctions hitherto regarded as neces-
sary In the treatment Of disease.
ELECTRICITY AS HEALTH PRESERVER.
And there is coming about a perceptible
change in the way OF viewing bodily condi-
tions. and a movement toward the ancient
wisdom of the Orientals, who have main
tanned for centuries that the proper business
Of doctors is not so much to combat disease
as to maintain health and let the body do
it9 own combating.
That electricity will do much to maintain
health cannot be seriously questioned. 1t
will warm the body better than a bed, 1t will
knead the flesh and muscles better than the
most skillful massage operator, 1t will give
exercise with all the glow and fatigue of a
horseback ride or a foot ball scrimmage, II
wi. calm the nerves and induce sleep.
Bacteriologlsts tell us that the human
body is a battlefield on which are encamped
rival armies Of microbes, the good and the
bad, those that sustain health, those that
breed illness. And between these two
armies a never ceasing war is carried on
from birth until death. Even the healthieSt

struction. were 1t not that the forces making
for health, electric froces these, hold the
ascendant. and the germs Of consumption and
fevers and other diseases are driven from the
field, the body being impregnable against
them.
But when the balance turns the other way,
and the attacking hordes are abiA to over
come the resistance at one point or another
on the line, then this or that disease breaks
forth and the doctors appear with this or
that drug, which, at the best can only com
bat the effect and not the cause. Had there
been in that patient more life force the line
OF resistance would have been strengthened
by 1t and the disease brought to a conelu-
sion without drugs. In other words, the new
school OF physics regards drugs, with few
exceptions. as merely temporary expedients
and prefer TO devote their attention TO
strengthening the whole system, so that II
can fight its own battles, and here electricity
Is a powerful and ever ready ally.
Already D'Arsenval and other Paris spe-
cialists have pushed the growing tendency
to supersede drugs with electricity by the
construction of electrical chambers, which
are made centers OF powerful electrical inhu-
ence. easily controlled by means OF yariously
arranged coils. sometimes encircling the en-

not a Yankee?"
She studied the arrangement of his
necktie closely, and then transferred
her scrutiny to his watch chain. But
evidently she was not thinking of
either, for when she spoke, she asked:
"Illinois people aren't Yankees?"

conviction. "They are a long way
from Yankeedom. More than a thou

Alcohol and Longevity.

DR.. CrOthers of Hartford, who has
had long experience in the manage
ment of institutions for the inebriate
and insane, says that inebriety is
the active cause of from Is to so
per cent of all insanity; from 30 to
80 per cent of all idiocy; from 60 to
80 per cent of all pauperism, and
from so to So per cent of all crime,
then asks the question, "Who can
estimate the relief OF the taxpayers
by the removal of the perils to both
property and life from drunkenness?"
DR.. Day of Boston, in his late annual
report OF the Washington Home for
the treatment of inebrates, says
"On the individual the effects of vic
ious alcoholic indulgence is disease
of the body Sooner or later it must
succumb. Disease of the mind is not
tar off. 1t may be delirium or insan-
ity." DR.. Formal found in the dead
house autopsies of the Philadelphia
hospital that in $50 chronic alcohol
lists nearly 90 per cent had fatty de
generation of the liver; 60 per cent
had congestion or a dropsical state
of the brain; the same number an
infamed or degenerated stomach,
while not quite one per cent had nor
NAL kidneys. To be convinced of the
cause of so much pauperism in the
country, we have only to examine
the statistics of the liquor traffic in
the United States. According to the
report of Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Mills, for the year 1892, the
patrons of the saloons paid $685.
00O,0 900 for whiskey and $617,25S,-
400 for beer, a total of 81 ,226, 259,-
400, the interest of which for one
minute at 6 per cent per annum is
$S,515.6S. This would more than
pay off the national debt, and would
feed and clothe all the poor of the
country. When we look abroad over
the world and take bird's-eye view
of the evil effects of incompetence in
its various aspects, its production of
disease and deaths, the destruction
of happiness and home, pauperism
and crime, innumerable with general
decentralization, we are astOnished
that any thinking man, much less a
physician, should come to the con-
clusion that drinking men and
drunkards enjoy greater longevity
than total abstainers, Medical Pro-
gTess.

G.. A. II. Statistics.

In the statistics of membership in
the Grand Army of the republic may
be found indubitable evidence of the
fact that this body of survivors OF
the army and navy of the north in
the civil war has reached and passed
its period of maximum strength and
is now in it's decline. The total
membership of the order Jan. 1,
1891, was 395. 900, and it increased
gradually until Jan. 1, 1894, when it
was 3S7,000. Then began the de-
cline, and in Jan. 1, 1895, the total
membership had fallen to 369,000.
On Jan. 1, 1896, the total strength
of the orGer had shown a further de-
cline to 367,639. Since then there
has been an additional shrinkage to
below 100000, the state of New York
alone experiencing a loss of the pres
ent year of 5000 members. Pennsyl-
vania stands at the head of the list
in respect of present membership,
with $4,000, but Ohio now takes
place. Fourth on the list is Illinois
with $4,000; fifth, Massachusetts
with $4,000; sixth, Indiana, with
81, 900; seventh, Kansas, Michigan
and Missouri, with 10000 each; then
Iowa, with $4,000, and Wisconsin,

LIFE AND LOVE.

Life and Love at the crossroads met,
Out for a holiday;
Cried Love, "Sweet Life thy cares forget,
It's Love who bids thee stay,
Come, journey ON without regret,
Through summer hours Away"
A rose-white blur against the sky,
Crab-apple blossoms blow;
The drifting swallows homeward fly
To April slopes aglow;
And Life and Love in laughter vie
As on their way they go.
Pans pipes sigh meath a crescent moon,
Like cobwebs float and stray;
Night moths seek the white flowers soon,
It's the daffodil month of May;
And the pilgrims sing a merry tune,
They are comrades true for aye.
To June's rose-hidden portals led
Glad Love his comrade true:
Now we must part" was all Life said,
"And fare alone, for who
Finds Love and June and roses red,
Has lived his day-adieu!"

HIGH-SoUNDING NAMEs.-We are
always prone to accept the unknown
as the magnificent-if | may trans
late the Latin phrase-to put a
higher value on the things yelled
from us by the folds of a foreign lam
guage. The Bosphorus is a more
poetic place than Oxford, though the
meaning of both names is the same.
Montenegro fills our ears and raises
our expectations higher than could
any mere Black Mountain. "The
Big River" is but vulgar nickname,
and yet we accept the equivalent
Guadalquivir and Rio Grande; we
even allow ourselves sometimes to
speak of the Rio Grande River-which
is as Pathological as De Quincy de-
clared the name of Mrs. Barbauld to
be. Bridgeport is as prosaic as may
be, while Alcantara has remote and
romantic aroma, and yet the latter
word signifies only "the bridge" We
can be neighborly, most of us, with
the White Mountains; but we feel a
deeper respect for Mont Blanc and
the Weisshorn and the Sierra Ne
vada. -Scribner.
