To the Editor Of 1.-THE CGlp'-SIR: In an inter

son in giving his ideas concerning Judge Ma

an erroneous statement regarding the single
tax, which, in my opinion, should not be per-
mitted TO pass uncorrected. Jackson states
that Judge Maguire's single-tax convictions
will make him popular in cities but will work
against him in the country, As reason for
this Colonel Jackson states that 1.-THE farmers

The onerous duties deVolying on Collector

THE MIR TIL CURE.
New York Sun


Some French science men have been discuss
ing and endeavoring 10 dispose OF the ques-
tion OF mirth as an agent for the cure OF
disease or OF states OF mind which favor the
progress of certain diseases. At the conven-
tion of the French schieutific press as repro
duced in the Journal d. Hygiene, it appears
that some very novel views were advanced on
the subject of mirth as therapeutic and the
case was recalled Of Lord Lanesborough a vic
tim OF gout, who, on the approach oi an at
tack began dancing, not as ii from the spasm
of pain, but with the lIghtness of joy, execut-
ing, so TO speak, pas Sc III that might be ap-
piauded in the academy.
Lord Lanesborough, according to the state
mept of The Frenehmen who spoke in praise
OF his action, was so steadfast a believer in the
merit OF mirth as cure for ills tn at at the
death OF the Prince or Denmark the husband
OF Queen Anne, he requested a special audi
ence of her ajesty IN order that he might ex-
plain to her the advantage OF BORDERING the
fddIers To tune up that her grief at the loss
OF her consort might be by his method as
suaged and that she might WOO gracious for
geltu ness at time OF sore personal trial by
dancing, so TIE French also describe 1t, the
reel OF Virginia.

commended mirth as cure for bronchial

ficial alveolar stimulus, giving useful shocks
