Experiments of an interesting ma
ture have lately been made at the in
stigation of the Prussiau war office,to
endeavor to decide the question as to
whether the consumption OF small
quantities of sugar renders the tired
muscles capable Of renewed exertion.
In order to obtain practical result,
the person who was made the subject
of the experiment was kept totally ig-
norant of the object of the expert
menters. On one day sweet fluid
was administered, containing 80 grams
OF sugar; on the next a similar liquid
containing sufficient amount OF sac
charine to render it indistinguishable
from the other as regarded taste. After
a very large amount of muscular work
had been performed it WAS found that
better results could be obtained on the
days when the sugar was given than
on the days when saccharine was
given. The blood had become very
poor in sugar in consequence of the
severe muscular effort, and the ad-
ministration of comparatively small
quantity Of sugar had markedly in
vigorating effect. New York Medical

Ihe Hunger Gnre.

Many years ago DIR. Joel Shaw all
vocated the practise Of abstinence from
food for two or three days or even Il
longer period as remedy for disor
ders of various sorts, especially digest
i've ailments and various constitu'
tional disorders. Preissnitz and his
followers made large use of the hun
ger cure in connection with the cold
water cure. and often with extraordi
nary success, and it has recently been
recommended as of great value i'll
rheumatism, typhoid fever. and kim
dred maladies. There seems to be a
scientific basis for this practise in the
fact that it has been shown that in the
last dozen years not only fevers, but Il
considerable number OF chronic mala-
dies, are due to auto-intoxication or
self-poisoning, and that the source Of
the poisonous agencies i'll great num-
Der Of cases is decomposition taking
place in the alimentary canal. In
view Of this fact, abstinence from food
as means of removing the original
causes of disease. and thus aborting
or checking its progress, must be rec
ognized as remedial agent OF great
value. A few days abstinence from
food or an exclusive fruit diet for a
week or two will often abort fever OF
severe bilious attack. The Voice.

GrewsOlne Gold.

1t was Oliver Wendell Holmes who
said, ''Some time in the future people
would mine gold i'll graveyards,' and
this wildly suggests the amount of this
precious metal in these CHASTITY places.
Millions of dollars worth Of the yel-
low metal are annually packed and
plugged into peoples teeth and many
are peripatetic gold mines. Every
graveyard is Klondike on small
scale, but the difficulty would be to
establish u claim. Apopos of this
there is Il good story, which may be
true, where humane man wasrewarded
for his good deeds by kind and ever,
watchful providence, or by the chance
of fortune. He was on his way to
Klondike and found the body OF u
wonld- be miner OH the road, who had
died from cold and starvation. He
thought to himself: Perhaps may
fetch mp in the same way, and | will
give him decent burial, rs hope for
one myself" He began to dig a grave,
but had scarcely reached depth of
two feet before he struck gold, solid
and rich. He buried the miner in
another hole, worked the first one. and
was soon rich man. All of which
goes far to show that one good trrn
will bring another, even if it is q
strange one.-.Boston Traveller.

Unusual surgical Operation.

A remarkable surgical operation has
been performed upon Adrian Deher-
toghe, machinist of San Francisco.
Fifteen yards of silver wire, as large
around as an ordinary hypodermic
needle, have been introduced into and
coiled within his aorta-the arterial
channel leading directly from the
heart. Those forty-five feet Of wire
have been in there for three months
and, surgeons say. have saved his life.
They were inserted at time when
death seemed certain complications
resulting from severely injured sorta,
the patients trouble being an aneu-
rism or saculated tumor OF the arte-
rial wall Its de,clopmentto to a rupture
of the aorta was only question Of
time. with instant death as the result,
says the Mining and Scientific Press.
The wire was introduced into the dis
tended OF abnormal sac formed in the
aorta, in order partly to fill it and form
there clot that would i'll time con-
tract and be there absorbed, thereby
restoring the channel to its normal
formation,
