TOBACCO A MEDICINE.
Physicians Again Returning To the
Mech a R..mchimI A.enI.

Doctors have waVered from the TWO
extremes in regard To smoking. They
long have been ready 20 forbid patients
to- use of tobacco on the slightest pre-
texts. and they nearly all smoke them
selves. Many of them have tried to
force some specially health giving prop.

The average medical student could

rid itself OF some poison. If the medical
student smokes il seems to keep up for
him system of disinfection or fumiga-
ton which saves him from further
trouble.
When the medical student is grad
uated and becomes a physician his first
work is, as a rule, tending children. The
reason that young doctors look after
babies and young children is that a
young doctors fund is also small, and
the two naturally become associated.
He finds that the chief diseases of chill
dren are infectious or contagious. Now.
the young doctor probably has been
through only few OF these diseases
himself, and his only systematic method
of disinfection is by smoking strong
cigars between visits.
This frequently prevents catching
diphtheria or scarlet fever or measles.
and saves the ranks of the profession
from being reduced.
Tobacco many years ago was used as
medicine. 1t is now sometimes used
as poultice with soothing effect. In
the old books on drugs the official prep
arations of "infusum tabaci. =" "oiI of to-
bacco,' tobacco ointment" and to
bacco wine" are all described as me-
dicinal preparations in common use.
Tobacco was used generally for itch
ing skin diseases. On account of It's
supposed power of lowering the action

in large doses for locki Jaw and for
strychnine poisoning Tobacco wine
was used as gentle laxative medicine
and also 10 cure asthma.
Medicine always returns to old ideas
after awhile. After years of oblivion
doctors are returning to tobacco or
nicotine once more. \ German medical

A Queer Vermont Township.

queer a town as there is in the United
States. It's name is Baltimore, and it
possesses little of interest save a his

express the slightest pride, Baltimore
is fairly old, as American towns go.
having been set off from Cavendish
and organized in 1893. 1t then had
275 presumably ambitious and hopeful
inhabitants, but every census taken
sincet then has revealed a steady growth
downward. In 1900 the place had
lost n citizen, and the SUBSEQUENT
record stands as follows: In 1910. 2O7
inhabitants; 1920, 2O4; 1880, 179; 1910,
1856; 1850, 1874; 1860, 116; 1870, SO; 1881,
II; 1890, ga. To-day the number is SO.
and one of the SO spends his winters in
the Soldiers Home at B%attleboro.
Nothing ever happened in the town,
not even a crime, and it has no dis
tinguished sons or daughters. The
houses are scattered over the territory
included within Baltimore's limits,
nowhere forming anything like a vii
lage, and there is no store, no church.
no %postoffice, o even a cider mill.
The people are prosperous enough, as
Vermont farmers define prosperity, but
they keep moving away whenever an
opportunity offers, and nobody ever
moves in. 1t is twenty years since a
wedding took place there.-Boston

zine. The inn stood for centuries on
the same spot, in the Via DELI Orso;
1t was always in the hotel business,
central, commanding, fashionable and
comfortable, as the advertisements
would say, and, in the height OF Its
glory and prosperity, it entertained
guests of the greatest distinction in all
the walks of life and from all parts
of the globe. Montaigne slept under its
roof and it is even claimed for it that
Dante made it his home when he came
if he ever did come-as the m
bassador of Florence to the pope OF
Rome, at the beginning of the four
teenth century; although this is mere
conjecture. The building condemned
TO demolition still stood, in it's shabby
old age, fr%equented by peasants, when

ticed by the hundreds of thousands OF
tourists who passed it on their way to

Montague kept a journal of his ad-
ventures in and his impressions of
Rome during his stay here in the
winter of 15S0-S1. He regretted that
nothing was left of ancient Rome but
the sky above it and the outline of its
form, but he was delighted with it's
climate and it's society, and he con-
fessed that he never breathed air more
temperate or better suited to his con-
stitution. This latter, it may be re-
marked, could not have been written
truthfully during many of the winter
months of the last few years.
Montague arrived in Rome on the
3Oth of November, 1880, and went to
the Bear, where he stayed that day and
the next, but or the I'd of December
he hired apartments at the house of a
Spaniard opposite the Church Of st.

at st. John Lateran, the heads of st.
Paul and st. Peter, which are exhibited

mitre on his head. st. Paul is of dark
complexion, with a broader and fuller
face, a large head and a thick gray
beard"

Gladstone in Turkish Eyes.

During the anti-Turkish crusade,
1851, the following pen portrait of
Mr.. Gladstone was printed and dis
tributed in thousands throughout the
land of Islam: "Gladstone's nickname,
Eyes of Cold" is derived from his
covetousness of gold. He is middle
sized, has a yellow complexion, wears
a half beard and is thick haired. He
is the son of a pig-dealer, and lives
only for gold. Only his forehead is
open, which is a sign of his mischie-
vous turn of mind. Owing to this same
reason the fore side of his head is
bald, to the extent that those who look
at him from afar take him tosbe scalped.
His nose is prominent and aquiline,
his mouth is very ugly, like the words
that fall from it; and when he shuts
it, his two front teeth fall one decline
tire beyond the upper lip" Such was
the f1attering account of himself Mr..
Gladstone read to some visitors to
Hawarden in 1877. ...

A touching incident is told by Eben
E. ReXford in the New York Observer:
There was a quarrel in the household.
The father and mother had spoken
bitter words to each other. The sun of
home was under a cloud. Little Ruth
went about with a sad look on her face.
1t grieved her to see the angry scowl on
her fathers face and to hear the hard
sound in her mothers voice. BY and
by she went out. She went into the
arbor and knelt down and prayed.
Dear God" she said, we've got
trouble. Papa and m are angry.
There's something wrong in their
hearts. Won't you please make it
right? 1t hurts me so to heal them say
such bad things, because I love them.
I know they love each other, but I
guess they forget it, sometimes. Dear
God, please make them remember all
the time"
The little girls father overheard her
prayer. He went to his wife, and
said:
Forgive me! I was to blame for
what happened this morning"
mo, John" she cried, the hard look
going out of her face. Il was wrong.

KANGAROO
Riding to Hounds After h Mimi

Riding to Hounds After the Nimhle
Brutes in Australia.
There are two ways of hunting kan
garoos in Australia, n followed by
native hunters and the other by white
men. The natives surround a herd
of the animals, narrow the circle and
then, when the kangaroos dash at them
in wild efforts to escape, kill them with
short spears and clubs, commonly
called waddies. 1t is lively work for
the native. The kangaroo uses it's hind
legs %viciously and with great judg-
ment, and dogs, horses and men have
been torn open by the nails of it's hind
feet. The white men prefer to follow
the kangaroos with dogs. Every herd
of kangaroos has a leader, known as
the old man or boomer, which warns
its followers of the approach of dan
ger by stamping the ground with its
hind foot, making a booming sound
that starts all the kangaroos in hear
ing on a run. A scared herd will run
twenty or thirty miles at times, or I'M
til it reaches safety. A male weighs
v " . PoulNo oho 10 wv
or eight feet long. The English make
up parties of hunters and follow the
kangaroo with dogs somewhat like fox
hounds, but of greater size and
strength. Women and men join in the
sport, riding TO the hounds on good
horses. Riding to the place where a
herd of the beasts had been seen the
day before by bushmen," a Sports
mems Magazine writer says, 1--WE came
to the bush, a growth of ubiquitous ii
trees and tree ferns, fit to brush n
off his horse. Quiet was the word of
caution passed when we came near the
sparsely grown ground beyond the
bush where the kangaroos had been
seen. The dogs were called in, and
then we rode from the bush into view
of the herds sentinel, and then away
went the kangaroos, followed by the
dogs, and we were at the tail tips of
the dogs. The kangaroos could not
run, but folding their fore legs across
their breasts, they sat down. Then,
with tail and hind legs, away they went
by hops, no hops being less than twen-
ty feet long, and others being more
than thirty feet. They cleared shrubs
twelve feet high. Curiously enough,
the kangaroo travels faster up hill
than down, the dogs catching up on
the down slopes. The beast sometimes
breaks its neck while running down
hill by going head over heels. The
does began to throw their young out
of their pouches, and we knew they
were hard pressed. They turned sud
denly for the water. We found the
dogs at a water hole with two boom
ers at bay. We dismounted, and
drawing our knives, waited an oppor-
tunity to run in and hamstring them.
A dog rushed in and was caught by
a hind leg of a boomer and pressed
under water, where it was quickly
drowned. Then a dog got one of the
beasts by the back and threw it, where
upon my cousin quickly hamstrung it,
while l raped it's nose with my whip,
killing it. We had kangaroo tail soup
and steaks for dinner for several days,

FASHION AND FURNITURE,

GOOD Taste Too Often Sacrificed in
Furnishing the House..
Fashion is responsible for any
amount of bad furniture" writes Kath-
crime B. johnson in Woman's Home
Companion. For the wealthy it is
Marie Antoinette and other period fur
niture, or Turkish, japanese and other
ornate eastern styles, none of which is
adapted to our habits and surround
lngs. Last year it was metal bed
steads; now they are tabooed and wood
reigns. Today it is prima vera and
curly birch; six months from now it
may be black walnut and cherry again.
Some fashions are bizarre and ugly,
many more artistic and altogether
cnarm1ng; for instance, brass bed
steads are snowy and dazzling and iron
ones too suggestive of public institu-
lions, where cleanliness is the main
consideration. Wood bedsteds are more
pleasing to the eye and give a chamber
a cozier appearance. In short, given
free reign, fashion is a tyrant here as
elsewhere; made subservlent to good
taste and judgment it is a most help

one more surely than the woman with
re1ned tastes who must economic.
The size and uses of a room must de-
termine the kind and amount of furni-
ture to be put into it. Furniture should
be beautiful in itself, and beautiful as
considered in connection with every
thing else in the room. A piece of
furniture good in design, material and
workmanship is always beautiful when
appropriately used. Let use be the
first consideration. Make no purchases
hastily. Have a definite idea of what
is both suitable and good; of the needs
of the room and the sum o can af-
ford to expend. Prefer hard wood and
good workmanship every time to cheap
decorations. If you must economic
closely, let fashion be neither the first,
second nor third consideration. The
style and air most conductive to the
beauty and comfort of a room is of no
small degree dependent upon the ar
rangement of it's furniture. Any num-
Der of suggestions, but few explicit di-
r%ections, for producing the desired re-
suits can be given, for while certain
rules must be adhered to-, success is far
less dependent upon technical knowl-
edge than upon the artistic sense and
cleverness of the woman who produces
them"

Ancient Tools,

An explorer recently found in Egypt
a bronze bowl and a series If iron tools
of forms quite unlike any known in
Egypt, and they are thought to belong
to an Assyrian armore about $50 B. c..
These tools, comprising three saws
made for pulling, not pushing, one
rasp, one file, several chisels and fer
rules, a scoop-edged drill, two center
bits, and others, are of the greatest
value in the history of tools, as show
ing several forms of an earlier date
than was thought possible. They are
probably of Assyrian origin.
