4 New Theory That Interests the Medical
Men Of Paris.
DR.. Meguin, in q recent lecture de-
hvered before the Paris Academic Dc
Medicine, stated his opinion that dogs,
from their close association with hu.
man beings, are subject to many Of
their nervous ailments. -
The brain Of dog 10 much more
highly developed than that of any other
animal. In many respects it resembles
the human brain. With ito master the
dog experiences the vicissitudes Of life.
Ceaseless experiments toward race per.
foction, leading to many kinds Of blood
mixtures, are responsible, too, for inten-
styling the natural nervousness
The doctor thinks that rs per cent OF
the animals killed who, on account OF
queer actions, are suspected Of hydro
phobia die innocently. Like nervous
men and women, they sometimes be-
come excited, are epileptic, morose, lazy,
lose appetite, and sometimes even turn
against their best friends. If treated ra
tionally, they might soon recover theii
usual health and equanimitY.-Chica-

Gericke, the great German forester,
writes that the greatest ages to which
trees are known to have lived are from
500 to $40 years. The pine in Bohemia
and the pine in Norway and Sweden
have lived to the latter age. Next
comes the silver fir, which has stood
and tbrived for upward of 400 years. In
Bavaria the larch has reached the age
Of 275 years. OF foliage trees, the oak ap.
pears to have survived the longest. An
evergreen oak at Aschaffenburg reach
ed the age Of 40 years. Other oaks in
Germany have lived to be from $40 to
$40 years old. The red beech has lived
to the age Of 245 years. OF other
trees, the oldest known are ash, 17O
years; birch, 100 to 900 years; aspen,

A Saint Going Back on Them.

Naples has grievance against itf
patron saint. The blood of st. Janua-
rius has declined to liquefy, as it has
been in the habit of doing for good
many centuries now. The liquefaction
has, indeed, taken place SO regularly as
almost to remove the occurrence from
the sphere of the unusual. Should the
blood remain CONCEALED at any Of the
saints three festivals throughout the
year. the omen is very bad one for
Naples, and there are apt to be disturb
ances. Last month, 1t appears, the mir
acle failed for the first time within Nv
ing memory, and the public mind was
naturally much agitated. Exchange.

that Colonel Blanchard was in reality

which was left in trust to eight persons,
they being personal friends who had
helped Colonel blanchard at various
times when he needed assistance.
Mrs. Belkeiser had announced that
she had marriage certificate which she
would produce. She did not have 1t. al
though called upon by the referee to
show it. It is said that the day follow

with the public administrator. He said
that If the case was settled 1t had been
done out Of court by arrangement be-

There Is, 1t seems, no doubt that the

Cruel Knife!

Inc alarming increase in the number
OF deaths which occur as the result of
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong Sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
last developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. It seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment IS unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
OF the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and Of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so MANY lives are
saerlhced IN this manner it is but natural
Tor the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even if
successful.
1t is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and sur
glcal operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as cam
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return Can
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be-
