The History OF Health.

To trace the history of the search
Of the human race after health wonld
be almost tantamouut to writing the
history of the race itself. A careful
examination Of the position which

such advances rs may fairly entitle it
to take its place among the p1vgres.

Its literature hns been said with truth
to be among the Oldest in the world.
We cannot doubt that in order oil
chronology the first rame to be hon.
ored is that of Moses, as the author OF
the most complete and detailed sys.
tenn of hygiene in ancient times. We
may be pretty sure that the code OF
Moses was the outcome of the wisdom
and experience of long past ages. Be
that as it may, however, we cannot
but admire the excellent precepts laid
down for the cleansing and purifying
of house and camp, for the security OF
pure water, for choice of good and
wholesome food, for the isolation OF
the sick and the unclean and for the
destruction OF refuse. 1t would not
be too much to say that a fairly strict
adherence to the Mosaic law would
have preserved mankind from many
of the disastrous plaques which have
afflicted it. During the Middle Ages

Young man had reason to believe that
he had been the victim of malpractice,
although the physician had shown him
what he claimed to be the bullet. In
order to settle the doubt in his mind
he consulted another member of the

a thorough examination, making use
of the cathode ray. No sooner had
the strange, mysterious light pene'

Getting Tired.

A large number of the Colorado
republicans, who wandered astray
last fall, are beginning to get restless
in their new political bed. They
had no intention of permanently
leaving the party, and the attempts
of their leaders to carry them bodily
into another political organization
utterly failed. Tke action of their
representatives in congress in getting
the consent OF the democratic national
committee TO organize a separate sill
yer republican party is being gener-
ally condemned. The Pueblo Daily
Chieftain, the leading organ of the
silver republicans in Colorado. comes
out this week in favor OF returning
to the regular republican party, and
in an editorial scoring their repre-
sentatives for their actions uses the
following language:
''Mr. Teller and Mr.. Shafroth are
getting 50 far away from the main
camp that they are now heading
straight for the wilderness 1t Is
better TO reioin the main army than
TO be lost in the Jungle"
