Jenner, the famous English physician,
was essentially strong and self reliant
man He attended the prince consort
through his fatal illness, he was the
Prince of Wales doctor when the heir
to the British throne had so narrow an
escape in 1872. and he also went to
Darmstadt and remained in attendance
upon the Princess Alice till she died
To practice medicine in "the fierce
light that beats upon throne is not
calculated to lessen the physician anx-
ieties, and one who knew Jenner well
once Questioned him on this point and
limited that his responsibilities must
sometimes be sufficient to render sleep
or rest impossible

| am in favor of treating tuberculous
patients near their homes and in the
same or nearly the same climate as that
in which they will have to live and
work after their restoration TO health.
My reasons for advocating such princi-
pies are founded on the experiences of
all modern phthisio-therapeutists, who
have demonstrated that the hygienic
and dietetic treatment in special sani-
tariums is feasible and successful in
nearly all climates
/ know from personal observation
that cures of pulmonary tuberculosis
effected in our ordinary home climates,
which are on the average not considered
as especially favorable to this class Of
sufferers, have been more lasting and
more assured than cures obtained in
more genial chimes.
And, with all due Difference to the
opinions of Others, do not believe
there exists any climate which has a
special curative quality for any form of
pulmonary tuberculosis Climate can
only be considered as a more or less
valuable adjuvant in the treatment Of
consumption, but not specific. IS. A.

its ugliness, the subject refusing to be-

He accordingly set up the bust in his
studio, surrounded by a small, card pa
per prison, gloomily painted over, on
which was inscribed, "For Debt. The
portrait was so unmistakable that
everybody in town recognized it and
focked to the artists studio to enjoy
his ingenious revenge. Soon the subject
came, passionately complaining of the
ridicule to which he had been subjected

A siamese Swell.

One of my neighbors was an interest
ing creature, and evidently well pleased
with himself He wore long finger nails,
and seeing me look at him spread out
his left hand, evidently for my admira-
ton On the fourth finger he wore a
large Chinese ring, and all the nails
were long, particularly those of the
fourth and fifth fingers, which had
grown to length of at least an inch.
They looked like huge claws, especially
when he tried to pick up anything from
the seat. The owners of such nails re-
gard them with extreme satisfaction
and cultivate them so carefully that
they sometimes attain prodigious
length.
They are largely affected by Siamese
and Chinese clerks who fancy them
selves exquisites. They are supposed to
indicate the fact that their owners do no
manual work Curiously enough, in so
far off a place as Mexico, the same idea
exists, but there it is generally confined
to the little finger. l do not know what
else he had to be proud about unless it
was his right leg, which was elaborate
ly tattooed above the knee. He was
dressed in only panung, and TO a cord
around his waist was attached a wallet
for his tobacco, betel nut. etc. He also
carried some food wrapped in a piece OF

Be in lodge room before the meeting

Talk with each in friendly way
about increasing the membership.
Advise dividing list OF the young

ganize teams to work in generous
rivalry for the greatest results in this
line. To do this, divide the regular
attendants into two companies with
leaders, and have them select sides from
those members who do not come to the
meetings. Then have the leaders re.
port monthly on the progress made in
securing applications.
having those who do attend pledge
themselves to bring one other member
to the next meeting.
Advise making the meetings pleasant
sociable and lively. Devote a certain
length of time at each to discussion 81
the needs by which it can be strength

Every member has the influence if he
will exert it, to gain new member
The older members can bring in the
younger members of their families
others can bring in their young friends

get young blood, and keep down the
average age and death rate.
Impress on the lodge that each mus

regularly; that the regular attendant,
can be much increased if effort is made
to do so, and the gatherings are made

THE RISE IN MEAT AND ICE

THE RISE IN MEAT AND ICE
The advance OF three cents a pound in
the price of beef last week, with intimations
OF a further rise in prospect, is matter of
serious Importance in a vast number of
households. Rightly or wrongly, the higher
price is attributed to the Cattle Trust, which
virtually controls the supply, and has a
practical monopoly OF the transportation
facilities, not only between the Western
markets and the seaboard, but also of the
export trade.
AT the same time the Ice Trust makes a
sharp advance in the price of its commodity.
One OF the Trust officials pleads, however,
that this does not apply TO well to do Gus.

IN Montgomery as they feel all over the
State, they are tired of the Republican party
and of that dangerous element, which is its
chief support in this county, and without
which they could not ill the smallest office.
More than all this, the ticket made at the
primary is such as to challenge the respect,
confidence and full support of the Demo
cratic party. All are well qualified for the
respective positions of trust for which they
are named. Every man is well known in
every household from one end of the county
to the other and is known to be loyal To the
Democratic party. Possessing all of these
qualifications, and with a county with a
good Democratic working majority, and
that majority not only sincere, but earnest
and energetic in the support of the ticket,
there can be no such thing as defeat for US
these are our reflections at present. We
feel confident that with the progress of the
campaign their accuracy will become mani
fest and the prospects Of great Democratic
victory undeniable.
