THE AMPLlPHONE.
A Wonderful Instrument For Learning
the Secrets of Onr Hihdan Organs.

a wonderful Instrument For LearulnE
the Secrets of Our Hidden Organs.
A great deal of clandestine informa-
ton was formerly gathered around tele-
graph offices by people who listened to
the saunders and sometimes stole valu-
able news. In 1887 device was patent
ed which defeated such attempts. 1t
magnified the click of the sounder, but
conveyed all sound to the ear of the
operator. But in 1883 the dynamos SUI
perseded batteries in these offices, and
the ampliphone was laid aside. The
stethoscope is entirely inadequate to
meet the requirements of modern medi-
cal science.
1t has recently been learned that the
ampliphone, which only weighs about
two ounces, enables the physician to
hear the action of the respiratory organs,
the circulation of the blood, the move
ments of the digestive organs in health
and III disease, the sound of the capillary
circulation, the sounds in the eye, ear,
bladder, stomach and intestines
By its aid diagnosis may be made of
bronchitis by the hoarse rattling in the
bronchial tubes, in pleurisy by the tu-
bular breathing, in emphysema by the
wheeling, in empyema by the dullness
OF transmitted sound, which shows loss
OF vascular murmur. In complications
OF different symptoms the sound trans
mitted becomes even more essential.
The fact that the pulse can now be
heard is very important. Five inches of
pamphlets and clothing were placed
over mans heart, and the beating
could be easily heard by means of the
ampliphone. Should this instrument
fulfill its promise it's benefits to science
will prove illimitable A leading ply
stefan has expressed the opinion that
Its use in conjunction with the x ray
will leave fewer of the secrets of the hui

1t doesn't pay to contradict when people pause
to tell
The stories that you've heard SO oft before
Of "coldest days" which solemnly they vow to
you befell
So often in the good old days of yore.
And sometimes they Will talk to you about the
fish they caught.
Without reply you turn your head away.
You cannot with politeness give expression to
the Thought,
Ut you wonder what George Washington
you'd say
When an able statistician comes with figures
and with facts
To promote some novel scheme Of roseate
hue,
When trust manipulation seeks to Justify his
acts
And raconteur announces something
new
When lingo citizens proceed to tell how they d
behave
In case they went a-marching to the fray,
You preserve smiling silence, and your breath
you shrewdly save,
But you wonder what George Washington
would say.

BRYAN MAY ATTEND.
The Inauguration Committee May Invite
Him to Washington For the Fourth.

The Inauguration Committee May Invite
Him to Washington For the Fourth.
In the desire to leave nothing undone
of the Inauguration festivities the citl-
zens' committee of Washington is con-
sidering various novel propositions. The
latest idea is that the presence of Mr..
and Mrs. William J. Bryan of Lincoln,
Neb. will add public interest to the &C.
casion.
Mr.. Bryan is to be in Alexandria,
Va, eight miles down the Potomac
from Washington, about the end of Feb
ruary. 1t is urged that he would find it
pleasant to spend few days in Wash
ington, including the 4th of March.
The committee is thinking seriously
of extending to him formal invitation
to bring Mrs. Bryan with him and par
ticipate i'll the procession and i'll the
ball. The presence of the defeated can
didate would be a novelty, but it would
not be entirely without precedent. Ac-
cording to history, Stephen A. Douglas
stood behind Abraham Lincoln and held
his hat while the new president of 1861
delivered his inaugural address. Sixteen
years ago the most conspicuous person
atty, next to Garfield, at the inaugu-
raj ball was General Hancock, in the
full uniform of his rank
The inaugural committee will not
send an invitation to Mr.. Bryan until
the suggestion receives approval from
Canton. There is no personal unfriend-
illness between the president elect and
the boy orator. The latter has much re-
spect for the former. EARLY in the cam
paign he frequently expressed in his
speeches admiration for the character of
his rival. This became so noticeable
that the Democratic national commit
tee advised Mr.. Bryan to omit his enco-

A Patched Up Spinal Column.

Elmer H. Penrod of New Lexington,
o., has new spinal column. Five years
ago he was injured by fall, and his
backbone was broken between the shout
der blades Since then he has been para
lyzed, but DR.. r. Harvey Reed Of the
Protestant hospital has removed four
sections of the vertebr9, cleaned up the
spinal cord and fixed him in such a man
ner that he will be able to get along
without the missing sections of his
spinal column. Silver supports will be
used for his head, and, though he will
never be able to work, he can move
around as other men. Cleveland Plain

Herbert to STAY In Washington.

Secretary Herbert has decided to make
his future home in Washington after he
completes his term as secretary Of the
navy. He will open law office and will
practice his profession in the national
capital instead of at his Alabama home.
He purposes taking cases before the
supreme court and court of claims and
may be associated with his son-in-law,
Benjamin Micou, who is the chief clerk
of the navy department, and who was
at one time candidate for an Alabama
iudgeship.

The Women of Missouri.

The suprems court of Missouri has de-
cided that women are eligible to hold
any elective Office in that state from
which they are not specifically debarred
by statute The right to hold Office not
being dependent upon the right to vote,
the women of Missouri may get the
plums without being at the trouble tc
shake the tree. 1t has been considered
so much matter of course and of GUS
tom that the offices should be filled by
males that in few instances has there
been any statutory regulation as to the
sex of the incumbents Philadelphia

EFFICACY OF PRAYER.
West Virginians Believe They See 1t In

West Virginians Believe They See 1t In
the Destruction of a Still.
G. D. Gillespie of Tucker county, W.
Va, has applied to the house finance
committee at Charleston for the refund
ing of $40 paid by him last summer for
the privilege of running a distillery
near Parsons, which he failed to oper-
ate. Gillespie stated that he went to
Tucker county, and, seeing large fruit
crop, purchased tract of mountain
land, on which was located a never fail
ing spring, and obtained permission to
put up and operate distillery.
He began to erect suitable buildings
below the spring, and it soon dawned
upon the neighbors what was coming.
They protested, but to no avail. On
promising to buy their fruits and grain,
paying the highest market prices in
cash, many of them became reconciled,
but few, regarding their religious du-
ties higher than money, met at their
churches and offered up prayers for the
destruction of the distillery.
Gillespie only laughed and proceeded
with preparing to make a run of apple
brandy. About the time he had several
tubs of crushed apples ready for the still,
the prayers of his neighbors to destroy
the still having continued almost with
out ceasing, a steady rain came, caus-
ing a large landslide from the steep
mountain above to come rushing down
and completely buried his entire outfit,
which he was not able to rebuild. His
neighbors who offered up prayers for
the destruction Of the still firmly believe
and zealously maintain that it was an
answer to prayers, st. Louis Globe.

A Degenerate Play by Max Nordau.

DR.. Max Nordau's new play, 1.-THE
Right to Love-" is an erotic drama,
with degenerate woman, Mme Bertha
Wahrmund; her husband, Joseph Wahr-
mund, and her lover, Otto Bardenholm,
as chief characters. Nine. Bertha, as
the climax to her degeneracy, comes to
the conclusion that, as she no longer
loves her husband, it is not right for her
to continue to live with him, but Bar
denholm, her mercenary lover, refuses
to support her away from her family.
DR.. Nordau's treatment of the theme
reminds us forcibly of some of Ibsen's
prose dramas AS DR.. Nordau, in de
generation pays his compliments to
Ibsen in no favorable language, he will
scarcely relish the above statement con-
corning ''The Right to Love. Home
Magazine.
