A Legal Problem.

A curious little problem i'll law and
ethics came up for solution the other
day at Hazleton, Pa. A man was ar
rested there for practicing medicine
without having been registered, as the
law of Pennsylvania and most other
states requires. He confessed his guilt
and admitted that he was well acquaint-
ed with and approved of the regulation
he had violated. Then he proceeded to
assert and to prove by documentary evil
dence that he had been graduated from
the Medical school Of ST. Petersburg
university and had practiced in the Rus
sian capital for years. He was therefore
quite eligible for registration in this
country, but on reaching Hazleton he
had found himself penniless and with
out friends. After he, his wife and his
three children had gone hungry for sew
eral days he determined to risk impris-
onment in order to supply the wants Of
his family and incidentally to earn
enough money to pay the registers fee.
Immediate denunciation and arrest fol-
lowed. Investigation showed that the
mans story was true in every partic-
ular His wants were supplied, and be
is now openly and successfully follow
ing the profession the practice Of which
had made him technical criminal
Now, admitting that this Russian could
not have borrowed money to meet the
laws requirements, perfectly admis-
sible supposition, what was he to do:
Was or was not his offense a necessary
one?-New York Times.

attention at first. This sore refused
TO heal, and after while became quite
obstinate, and began togrow. 1 placed
myself under the treatment of prOmi-
nent physicians, who said had cancer
of the most stubborn type, and though
l took their treatment faithfully, the
cancer grew steadily all the while,
increasing in size and severity.

that was recommended for the

and ointnents, allwithout the slightest
benefit. Year by year, found myself
steadily growing worse, for the cancer

and as much more experimenting with
various so-called remedies. was
strongly urged by the doctors to sub

In hotel in Berlin there was a night
Waterman who did not take kindly Il
the system adopted a few years ago re-
quiring him TO 20 through the hotel al
certain hours and touch q set Of electric
buttons.
After much thought he rugged up an
automatic arrangement on several of the
buttons so that they would report at
certain hours Soon the button system
got so ont Of order that the management
abolished it. and a pedometer was given
70 the Waterman, which would register
every step he took.
All went well the first two nights,
but on the third morning the old man
was missing On search being made, he
was found sound asleep in the engine
room, and the pedomcter so attached tc
the piston rod of the engine that with
every stroke it registered a step. 1t had
been travelling all night, and when taken
off it registered PIP miles.

They have a curious way Of suppress
ing papers here. Instead Of submitting
their proofsheets TO the censor, as Is us
ual where such "a protector Of public
opinion exists, they get at the matter
backward. The publisher goes ahead on
his own judgment, prints what he
pleases and takes his chances Of going
to Jail or paying fine. The censor
reads the paper at the breakfast table
the next morning, and if he finds any
thing mildly Objectionable he writes a
polite note to the editor, calling attention
10 the article. The latter prints a para
graph next day explaining that he was
mistaken or that the public had misin-
terpreted his remarks. But when any
high official of the government is at
tackled or the prophecies are violated,
the editor is fined or imprisoned, and
policemen take the subscription list and
call at every house at which copies have
been delivered to recover them. -Ha-

First a Mole ,
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter
ror in its path as Cancer-and well
may this dreadful affection be regarded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
life's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is powerless,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting to the knife for
cure of this terrible disease. Can
Ger is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-nine cases
out of hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
lignant than before. The same is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means of caustic plasters, etc, and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is a cure for cancer-cne
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and removes its cause. s. S. S. is the
only real blood remedy, and cures cam
Ger and all other blood diseases, even
after other treatment has failed.
One of the well-known residents Of
Macon, Ca, Is Mr.. H. Powers, the con-
tractor and builder, who lives at SIS
Ross street. For twenty years Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely from a
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope Of
ever being cured.
On June D, 1896, he writes Twenty

BunYan With a Pnrnnse.

An interesting story comes to Us from
Boston, where they tell it with bated
breath. 1t appears that the officials in
charge of the Juvenile department of the
Boston public library have noticed for
the past week or two an unusual de-
mand for copies of Bunyan's Pilgrim 8
Progress. This demand was so much
in excess of anything they had ever
known that they felt it necessary to in
vestigate the causes Of this unprecedent-
ed interest in Bunyan. Inquiry revealed
the fact that the teacher of history in a
well known school had reached the CO.
lonial events of the seventeenth century.
and had recommended to all her pupils
the perusal of Bunyan's book as a part
Of the photography Of the story of the
pilgrim fathers. -Bookman.

MENA F7RST-T THEN THE WORLD
CURRENCY AND BANKS.

The right to make and issue money or currency belongs to the people exclusively and any com mission appointed by the Presi- dent or congress to consider the currency question should not for get or ignore this important fact. The best currency ever issued was the legal tender grccnback and this fact is deep seated in the minds of the people. By a decis- ion of the supreme court this cur rency is constitutional money and it gives the people-the business and productive classes satisfac- tory system of currency. All other kinds should be taxed out of existance and their places filled with this national currency.
 Any attempt to formulate and force upon the country a system of bank issue of currency exclu- sively cannot prove satisfactory and will prove disastrous to the business interest of every country where permitted to exist, and any plan formulated by a currency commission as proposed should exclude this plan. Banks can anc should be conducted on business principles for the accommodation of the public as institutions of de. posit, exchange and loans bu should be forever deprived of tn, right to issue currency. Thi privilege or duty belongs exclu sively to the general government
