CONSUMPTION

not discouraged. He went on perfecting
his System of Treatment, curing thousands
of patients each year, and waiting patiently
for the Endorsement and approval of the
medical world.
And he did not wait in vain Strange to
relate, the first open Endorsement came
from abroad-across the ocean. DR.. Sir
William Broadbent, physician to Royal
Family at a recent meeting held in MARI
borough House, presided over by the Prince
of Wales Endorsed the principles upon which
the Slocum System is founded. Now it is
Endorsed and approved by progressive. lib
eral-minded physicians everywhere.
The DR.. Slocum System of Treatment en-
bodies the healing powers of medicine COM
bined with the rebuilding and rejuvenating
powers of food. 1t promptly allays the
cough, relieves pain and other distressing
symptoms, insures rest and sleep, and sus-
ponds or destroys the energies of the dis
ease germs, while its food elements restore
the waste tissues, increase the red cor
puscles of the blood. steady the nerves and
so invigorate and strengthen the whole body
of the sufferer that it throws off and elm
mates every element of the disease.
Elixirs bitters, cordials and opium mix
lures afford temporary relief in many cases,
but they do not cure; they merely mask the
symptoms and waste valuable time; they
should be avoided studiously.
The DR.. Slocum System of Treatment not
only removes the cause in CONSUMPTION,
but it also prevents a recurrence of the dis
ease by so enriching and purifying the blood
that it's powers of resistance become so

When 'Lisha Smokes.

When 'Lisha smokes, why should care?
1t gives him such placid air
He notes not how the time goes by,
All veXing worries seem to fly
All earthly fret he bids forbear.
His mood is genial, sane and rare
He pirates no more of lifes despair
Fine hope smiles from his dreaming eve
When 'Lisha smokes.
All fate, thou weavest many a snare
To wound mans life beyond repair;
But Ger his pipe, he brea thes no sigh,
1t brings all peace and solace nigh,
And so. / bless the murky air,

INSECTS TO IMPROVE FIGS.
They Have Been Introduced in Caiifor-
 nia After Many Trials.


 The larger part of our fig supply comes from Asia Minor, the spanish neninsula and the south of France, Those of Asiatic Turkey are considered the best. Certain insects of the genera blastophaga and sycophaga which ire quent the wild fig enter the minute orl- fee of the receptacle. apparently to de- posit their eggs, conveying thus the pollen more completely to the stigmas, thus insuring the fertilization and cons seouent rfpening of the fruit. By some the nature of the process has been questioned and the better mataratloh of the fruit attributed merely to the stimulus given by the puneture ot the insect. as in the case of the apple, put the arrangement of the unisexual flow CTS in the figs renders the first theory most probable. \ year ago the depart ment of agriculture began q series of experiments on the introduction ot the insect which fertilizes the smyrna fig; an agent was sent to Europe to obtaIn cuttings of all varieties Of the wild fig and to send over the fruit containing the live insect. By good fortune some of the insects succeeded in penetrating the closed flowers of the Capri figs and laid their eggs and really established themselves in California. It is now be- lieyed that the insects will continue to breed and that in the near future a fig will be placed upon the market which possesses the same superior flavor as that which has given the imported Smyrna fig it's present popularity.

In view of the inquiry which l. is understood has=been granted by tha Spanish government into the charges Of torturing prisoners fn the easemate4 of Montjuich, ill Spain, 1t may be of interest to set out some Of the items ia the indictment made against ths authorities. It is said. in the first place that q reward of 10000 pesetas was offered to any jail official wh1 conld eXtort an ayowal of guilty from prisoner. Acting under this stimu- las the jailers are stated to have forced the Hretched creatures under their control to run round their cells day and night for eighty hours at I stretch. heavy whips being used to keep the victims awake The officials are also said to have deprived them q all food save salt stock fish and ardent spirits confession being Che price Of glass of water Not a few paid t. slaked their thirst, and, it is eontend- cd, were summarily shot It is further alleged that wedges were driven under the nails of the prisoners with ham, mers and allowed to remain until ths nails sloHghed away. Even mere hor- riBle mntilations are stated not to have been uncommon. One of the most cruel devices was. it is affirmed. a machine like divers helmet fitted with tube allowing the victim to breathe, while a screw compressed slowly the sides and top, thus produc- ing inconeeiVable agony One pfis' oner, Moras, is stated to have under gone this torture more than once, ana to have been driqen mad by it.

An Interesting Discovery.

An interesting discovery has reward ed the researches of officials at HamB- ton Court palace, London. There has always lufked a suspicion that the walls of the famous Queen 8nne2s drawing room. which is in the center of the east wing of NEen's famous building. contained more than the sec ond rate portraits of the Georges. Never however, was it supposed than an im- portant work by that once famous dee orative artist, Yerrio, had been coa- eealed from the public eye since 1735, owing to q stupendous act Of vandal. ism. which, it is presumed, was car ried out by Queen Caroline i'll t733. probably to prevent the ap3thesis Of Queen Anne from meeting her eyes in her drawing room when she became queen. The date is known bg the ex@ traordinary act of tne paper hanger Of that time, who. in covering up Nerrioss work, scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging In taking down some of the portraits of the Georges, which were Intended for Ken singtOn palace, it was noticed by aB official that the top right hand corner closed 10 the ceiling seemed abruptly cut off from the general scheme of the beautiful ceiling, which everyone had seen and admired and which repre- sented Queen Ahne in the chariot af Justice, dressed in purple lined with ermine Over her head Is q crown, held by Neptune and Britannia, while surrounding and floating h the clouds are various allegoficai figures repre- senting Peace and Plenty, ete The discovery now made shows that the whole of the walls were originally painted by Eerrio in tae same manner. the subject being Queen Aane's apotbeosis as Queen of the Sea ia the four great quarters of the globe.

 The enormous annual draw on our coal supply is already somewhat les sened by the use Of liquid fuel. af though the actual effect is. of course, inappreeiable.
