Is not done there is little hope OF again
having the subject breathe, without in
any event he would do so.
This practice of pressing the chest is
perhaps the most dangerous of any that
could be imagined. 1t is rarely that arti-
fetal respiration Is necessary, except in
cases OF drowning in which, before con
seriousness is lost, the lungs are invariably
filled with more or less volume of water.
When this IS the case, heavy pressure on
the chest means simply double the same
pressure on the lungs, and III many in
stances the water is forced through the
fbrous tissue until the lungs are practi-
cally shattered. The result of this is ex-
actly the same as that found in an adj
vanced stage of consumption. except that
their lungs, being free from disease, may
heal without much trouble But it must
not be supposed that the healing of the
lungs leaves the person as physically
strong as before. Dozens of air cells have
been burst. Their usefulness is forever
gone. Consequently, the volume of respi-
ration is diminished. and pulmonary
disease is something that can be looked
forward to in the near future with GER
tainty.
Another old method often used to-day
with more or less success is to place the
subject face down over q barrel and roll
backward and forward until the chest is
relieved of its burden OF water before try
ing to produce artificial respiration. This
has been found to work fairly well. except
that in some cases the blood vessels have
been badly broken, thus making the cure
quite as dangerous as the disease.
All these difficulties have had to be con-
sidered and avoided before serious consid-

DR.. Calliano expects to reap no other re-
ward for his teaching than the saisfac-
ton he will derive from the knowledge
that thousands of lives will be saved
owing to his research. He is most anxious
to give information concerning his dis
covery, and upon application will readily
supply physicians with all the technical de-
tails, which are. OF course, of little inter
est to the general public.
Besides those mentioned there are
many other advantages to be seen in DR..
Callianos method. The labor to the OPP
orator Is greatly lessened, thus enabling
one man alone to handle subject. There
is absolutely no danger from confusion of
the shoulder joints. but perhaps The fea-
ture which will meet with most general
approval is found in the fact that even the
most uneducated person can learn the
entire method in five minutes.

Now soft and low, now wildly sweet;
Now sprightly, as the dashing sprays;
Now loud, as though the Storm-King' voice
Resounded Ger thy watery ways;
Now tender as a lonely maid
Who bids her truant love return,
And fearful, es though half afraid
He would her loving summons spurn.
Thus liste ming here wonder not
That men will seek thy moon-lit shrine,
Where bendt the trees and bloom the flowers,
And trails the fair arbutus-vine,
And fishermen will leave their toll,
And caring naught for life or death,
Will madly seek to clasp thy form
And taste the sweetness of thy breath;
Though nevermore their boats are seen,
And nevermore they fly their nets,
Aud evermore the dimplng stream
For their familiar laughter frets.

Grafton could be given to any innovation
but this has been done, and to-day there's
in vogue a system producing artificial
respiration that is as near perfection as
seems possible.
The principal advantage of this new
method is its simplicity. The subject is
placed upon his back much in the same
position as in the Sylvester method, but

belief OF DR.. -, and his co-laborer, that
all physical life must have its power of
continuance coexistant with the psychic,
and consequently located in the same spot.
Reasoning from this assumption, they
hold that, until that certain spot or loca-
ton is exterminated, life will continue,
and therefore its exact location in the
human economy is determinable by sys-

Certain local newspapers that are at
tempting to prejudice the public in the
case Of the plea in abatement IN connec-
ton with the indictments Of saloon keep
ers for selling under short licenses, have
made the statement that should the de-
csion in the abatement cases be against
the state 1t would mean big payment OF
costs by the Taxpayers.
II this statement Is not made through
ignorance It must be an effort to deceive
the public, Officers of the court, whose
fees help to make up the costs In cases Of
prosecution, receive no fees unless the
indictments for mlsdemeanors are Bus-
tained, and neither the state nor che
county pays one dollar OF costs In the
event indictments are sustained the costs
come from the defendants, II they can
be collected from them. The InteIHErn.

The Republican meetinsRt Bridgeport,
Ohio, tonight, which Is to be addressed
by Senator j. b. Foraker, will doubtless
be the occasion OF a big assemblage of
Republicans from that portion OF Bel
mont county which lies within a radius
of several miles OF Bridgeport 1t will
be the first visit of Senator Foraker to
that part OF Ohio and that he will be
greeted by an enthusiastic gathering OF
loyal Republicans and believers In sound
money Is foregone conclusion. The
issues OF the campaign are important,
and Senator Foraker will present them
in his usual eloquent and vigorous man
ner. Beside the senator there will be
other speakers of prominence, including
Congressman Dovener, from our own
side OF the river.
Wheeling Republicans should not fail
to visit Bridgeport ann help swell the
tide and the enthusiasm for the Republl-
can cause In Ohio for the campaign Is
no less important In that state this year
than 1t was last. 1t Is the same fight
against false political heresies and I'M
safe policies, and on the result depends
whether Ohio will retain two Republic
can representatives In the senate.

trader to m!srepreseut her interests

In the outcome than Ohio Is and the In

represented at to-night's gathering.

SO It seems that the new policy IF
qualification" adopted by Spain toward
Cuba is TO take the form Of bribery OF
the Cuban leaders. Gold Is to be substI
tuted for lead, and peace is to come
through the purchase Of the honor Of
patriots who have braved starvation,
prison and death for the cause Of home
and liberty. Men who have held out
against fire and sword, who have
witnessed their wives and children out
ragged and murdered before their eyes,
and who have fought with desperation
such as only desire to be freed from
seldom could inspire, and who have re-
fused every concession short of independ-
ence, are to be asked to betray their
faithful followers In return for riches
offered in the name OF the queen regent
Of Spain.
. This is to be the programme. Its car
rying out involves less bloodshed, to be
sure. but be shall see whether 1t shortens
the war and brings the 'pacifcation' so
much desired by the Spanish govern
ment. The world, which has looked upon
the struggle OF the Cuban people with
admiration for their courage, their ten
acity and patriotism, will not believe
that such an effort will be successful I'M
I'll 1t is an accomplished fact, and then
the sympathy which these leaders have
had from all liberty loving people will be
withdrawn from them as quickly as 1t
was given, and in It's stead will be only
pity for the people who were betrayed.

the alleged programme under the sue
cessor OF Butcher Weyler, but few there

gle in Cuba who believe that the policy
