POINTS ON 0STEOPATHY

Suppose patient should cut his fin
ger then tie II ligature around the base
of the finger sufficiently tight to stop
both the circu lation and nerve energy to
the wound, how long would it take that
finger to heal up? 1t would never heal.
You may put on as many ointments,
salves, lotioLs, oilsilk dressings. anti
sceptic solutio as you like; but just as
long as the lieature remained you woald
have the wound. There is only one
way to heal such a wound.
There never was but one way and
there never will be any other way to re-
build the tissue and that is by the nat
ural law of circulation and nerve force,
the natural way, the right.
Now why should a finger be any differ
ent than the stomach. the liver, kidneys,
bowels, lungs, or any other organ or
gland.
There is no marked difference. they
work on the same general principle so If
they are unable to perform their normal
function it is because the elements upon
which they depend can not reach them.
All normal tissues and organs are pro-
vided with arteries sufficiently large to
supply all the blood required for their
use, therefore il you have a tumor, wen,
goitre or other abnormal growth, you
may know that this circulation has been
distorted by some force and thus render
ed unnatural, hence you have these
harmful and useless formations and the
proper thing to do is to re-establish the
circulation.
Some may say, why not take a knife
and cut out such grewths? That would
be dangerous at least. But worse than
that you would not accompl plish the end
sought, for if you only cut out that for
nation without removing the cause
which formed it, is it not reasonable to
think that such would immediately set
to work and form another growth simi-
lar to the one just removed?
4ray's anatomy does not mention or
describe any arteries for the purpose of
building growths as above mentioned,
therefore conclude that their formation
is only made possible by badly derang-
ed circulation and nerve force.

A Cats Private Travelling Carriage.

Cats are not great travellers, as
rule, nor are they very much at home
In strange hotels, but one of which
Christian Work tells story was an
excer ion. A lady walked into the
coffee-room OF hotel, dressed in trav-
cling costume, and carrying cape
of plaid cloth, which she hung over
the chair next to her, disposing of it
with some care When she had Or
dered breakfast, and was waiting to be
served, she heard succession of ex-
clamations: "Oh! oh! what beauty!"
The lady turned hasty glance to-
ward the chair at her side. There sat
big white Angora cat, gracefully
viewing the situation. 20 Bismarck,
you silly cat!" she exclaimed, IS the
head waiter appeared with look on
his face that boded no good to the cat.
Il must put him out, madam" he said.
with the assurance that belongs to
head walters But the lady clicked her
fingers, and the cat disappeared. Every
eye had been upon him, but nobody
had seen him go. The waiter looked
on the chair and under it. but the cat
had vanished. 1t was not until the
lady had finished her breakfast. ana
was leaving the table with her travel
ing cloak thrown over her arm. that
the mystery OF the animals presence
was explained, and pussy's head was
allowed to peep from capacious in
side pocket of the cape. "He has trav-
eled in that pocket for hundreds OF
miles, and this is the first time he has
shown himself" said his mistress.
He will not purr for fear of being
found. But he is nearing his journeys
end now, an, is getting tired. This
cape is his exclusive property, and the
pocket his private travelling carriage"

Rare Books.

The free library of Philadelphia has
IN one of its collections of books re-
markable and precious possession. The
collection Is the result of twenty years
labor by one of the foremost experts
of Europe, and consists of five hun
dred works out of twenty-one thousand
said to have been published between
the discovery Of printing and the year
1900 1t is not only that five hundred
books OF the earliest age OF printing
have been here brought together, but
also that specimens of the work CT
three hundred and fourteen presses
and types are shown, and that the de-
Yelopment OF the art Of printing is l.
lustrated from its very earliest stages.
1t is claimed that more than fifty of
these volumes were printed prior to
any issued by Cations press, and many
are from presses which never issued
more than one or two books. So says
the Public Ledger. In come cases spe-
cimens of the work of that particular
press are not known to exist else
where. 1t is a gratifying feature Of
the collection that a large proportion
of the books are in their original bind
ings. Among other books of eXcep-
tional rarity are the first Bible Con-
cordance, issued probably about 1866;
the first octave edition of the Bible, by
Froude, printed in 1491, and known as
the Poor Mans Bible: two of the five
books printed in Greek capital letters
in the fifteenth century: Latin Bible
printed in Lyons in 1879. and regarded
hp nf nl I .ati cd
tions. 1t is so scarce that noted bibli-
ographers doubted its existence. This
copy is the only known specimen Of the
work of the press that issued it. II
is said of twenty of the works that
copies are not to be found even in the
British Museum.

Anout a Hear-and-snnke Adventure In


Sight of the City of st. Augustine.
A Cambridge student, visiting Flor
ida recently, and learning that he
could get a shot at bear if he went
to Anastasia island, bent his steps
thither, taking for guide and company
a native white named John Baker.
The hero of this adventure had best

revolver, | landed, and under Bakers
guidance soon got sight of vicious
looking half-grown bear. The growth
about us was thick, SO that l prepared
to take shot with my revolver. Hurt
in the breast, but not mortally, ne
mounted a tree. Leaning against
stump of a broken tree to which the
rotten and hollow top still hung, 1
aimed my rifle at the bear hoping to
bring him down. That rifle was des-
tined not to kill that bear, for at that
instant the hollow log broke under
my weight and l fell into a mass of
ooze and water, the log rolling upon
me and fastening me down. Gun and
revolver dropped in the confusion,
when, turning my eyes toward Baker
for his ready aid l saw him, with set,
white face. slowly reaching for my
rifle, while his eyes were fixed on an
enormous snake which emerged from
the decayed tree which was holding
me down, coiled its Shiny length near
my head and with tongue extended
and eyes ablaze with anger prepared IT,

well knew that If l remained motion
less till dark (three long hours) that
reptile would then move away without
touching me. But to lie in that swamp
for three hours in such society! Baker
thought as much as L, for he silently
raised my rifle to his shoulder, and
crack! a bullet whizzed close to my
ear and crashed into the creatures
mouth. That rattler had coiled for the
last time, but in his death writings
he dragged his loathsome length over
my face and body. Baker carried the
snake home, but not till after we had
brought down the bear. 1t (the snake)
measured feet 10 inches and is now
in Boston, stuffed and mounted to
show its hideous fangs and tongue and
its great size. Baker had saved me.
He was scared, but his nerve and reso-
luton deserve my undying gratitude

CLEARLY DECLARED.
The Presidents Policy Defined by
Himself in Perfectly Plain
Terms.

The words spoken by President Nc
Kinley the other day in regard TO his
Philippine policy were definite and GER
tain enough to any logical mind. Their
significance was completely missed by
alleged public guides, who evidently re-
ouire to be furnished with an under
standing az well as with declarations.
But the Pittsburgh speech is calcu-
lated to drive the presidents meaning
home to every citizen of ordinary intel
ligence. 1t was explicit, positive, un-
mistakable. 1t was an argument, but
it was also challenge. The president
assumed the offensive and handled his
anti-imperialistic aetractors without
gloves.
Speaking of the soldiers who had the
privilege of being mustered out in April
and who preferred to remain in the
service, the president said:
"They did not stack arms. They did not
run away. They were not serving the in
surgents in the Philippines or their sympa-
thizers at home. They had no part or pa
thence with the men, few in number hap
PLY, who would have rejoiced to have seen
them lay down their arms in the presence
of an enemy whom they had just emanci-
pated from Spanish rule and who should
have been our firmest friends"
And what the cause for which these
brave and patriotic men fought and suf-
fored and fell? The answer is found in
the following pregnant and pointed
sentences:
peace brought US the Philippines, by
treaty cession from Spain. The senate OF
the United States ratified the treaty. Every
step taken was in obedience to the require
ments of the constitution. 1t became our
territory and is ours, much as the Louis
