He seemed to get worse all the while,
however, and the disease finally resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
THE bad sores on his neck increased
in size, and were a source of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
for two years, when some one recon-
mended S.S.S., stating that it had cured
some of the worst cases of blood diseases.
As soon as his system was under the eff
feet of the medicine, the sores began to
get better, and in eight days were COM
pletely healed. Before long he could
walk on crutches, and was improving
every day. In three months he threw
aside his crutches, for he had no further

been eliminated entirely from his sys-

health. The cure was permanent one,

1t was one of the hottest days of the

Whipping Wife Beaters.

Several of the States, seeking to make
the punishment fit the crime, have spec
ial statutes allowing the courts to sem
tence wife beaters to definite num-
ber Of lashes at the whipping post. IN
one or more instances the whipping
post has been revived to meet this par
ticular kind of brutality, for it seems
to be the rule that the man who will
beat a woman will not mind a little
thing like fine or a few weeks in Jail.
1t has been pretty clearly demonstrated
that after his confinement he almost
invariably returns to his old habits.
The fault has been largely in the Mag
istrates of cities, who have, with rare
exceptions, dealt leniently with this
meanest of offenseS. Cases without
end could be cited where poor women
have been beaten within fraction Of
death by big, drunken bullies who lived
off their wives earnings, and where
the Police Magistrates imposed only
fines and costs. There was a time
when a mans right to beat his wife
was generally conceded, and it often
seems as if the old barbarism had come
down as a special inheritance for our
Police Magistrates.
The effect Of the whipping post as a
corrective of the evil has In several
aspects been quite satisfactory. 1t is
indorsed by the police force and the
courts, but is bitterly opposed by the
reformers and philanthropists. The
wife beating brute fears the cat-as the
official whip is called-a thousand times
more than he does imprisonment. In
one State the establishment of the
post reduced the wife beating cases in
the courts more than so per cent. Re
Gently the post has been neglected. and
the increase has gone back to the old
proportions. The newspapers demand
that the wife-beaters be sent to the
post; the philanthropists hold that if
this is done it will be a barbarism, and
it's effect will be to take from the man
punished all hope or spirit Of manhood.
The others hold that such a brute can
only be punished physically. and thus
the discussion goes on. We are in
clined to the belief that little lapse
into barbarism for the benefit Of wife
beaters would be pretty good thing:
certainly the milk k-and-water that the
philanthropists prescribe does no good
whatever. Let the whipping post be
established for the wife beaters. and
let the whish Of the cat be heard till
the brutes can beat no more.-Leslie' 5

Greetings.

The Arabians shake hands six or
eight times. Once is not enough If
however, they be persons of distinction,
they embrace and kiss one another
several times. and also kiss their own
hands. In Turkey the salute is to place
the hand upon the breast and bow,
which is both graceful and appro-
pirate.
In Burma, when man meets a wo-
man, he puts his nose and his mouth
close to her cheek and draws a long
breath as if inhaling a delicious per-
fume. He does not kiss her cheek,
strange to say. A man is greeted in
exactly the same way
In the greater part of Germany it is
considered an act of politeness. not of
gallantry, for man to kiss woman s
hand. In Italy that privilege is allowed
only TO near relatives, while in Rus
sia it is extended to kissing the fore
head.

THE oLD-FAsHToNED WOMAN.
In Many Ways She Is Truer to Her
Womanhood by Being So.

when one judges truly what it is to
be old-fashioned' in some of the mod
ern progressive ideas, it does not ap-
pear so bad writes Edward w. Box,
discussing "On Being Old-Fas shioned"
in the Ladies' Home Journal" "It
may be true that one who refuses to be
so essentially modern in all its phases
of life misses some things. But then
these progressive spirits seem to miss
some things too; they seem to miss
in about everything they do, and Incl
dentally miss, as we'll, the true aim
and essence of life. And there are often
strong compensatiOns in the attitude
Of the told-fashioned.' 1t brings fewer
after regrets; fewer pictures one wants
to blot out. An Indifference to healthy
progress is injurious to any one. But
when progress seeks to improve upon
those elements in life which are God
ordained, the wisest of us are those who
stand still or fall out of the ranks.
There are some things in this world
which even the wonderful genius of
this century cannot improve upon. They
were fashioned by a skill beyond our
ken. And we would better let them
alone. Forward commands the old
proverb, but then it adds. but not
too fast The cautious woman, the
home-loving woman, the woman fond of
her children, and with a belief in God,
who gave them to her, the woman of
pure heart and good purpose, the wo-
man who loves and is beloved, need
never be disturbed that she is called
old-fashioned.' Perhaps she is. But
it is no disgrace to be 'old-fashioned'
in some things. She is truer to her
womanhood by being SO. And she is
always in good company"
