Treatment for Ininr.

The latest theory about the perDi-
cious hubit of saying things that aren't
no is that it's n disease. If you're n
born liar you can't be cured, and it's
lno use trying to do It, but there's
hope for mild cases. DR.. Thomas r.
,Welch ST. Louis student of brain dis
orders. would treat the man WHO lies
much as he would an insane patient.
eve often hear of people who suddenly
develop propensity for lying that is
lstartling." he said. ~ peculiar feature
is that the individual has nothing to
accomplish and absolutely no excuse
for disregarding the truth. The man
should consult II physician. lie should
he treated carefully. The base of his
trouble Is the nerves. Rest and tonic,
with good nursing, would restore these,
and gradually the brain would become
healthy and the ntiiiction disappear.
lCriminul traits in parents are known

In girl this may be overcome by the
wise counsels of the mother, but be-
Iieve boy who is so afflicted will in n
great ma aiority of cases be much what
his father is." An institution for the
Treatment of this disease would not

When the intelligence of dogs comes

Ieited rs an instance in proof of the ex-
tistence of something more than mere
Einstinct in some dogs-or us an evil

from an exchange says: Walking

humble sport of the two, the child hurt
Ehis dumb playmate, who snapped rath-

stood watching on the porch, cried out:
Nero, aren't you ashamed of yourself

had dog! The dog skunk away, whin-
ting. Suddenly he sprnng toward a
E9owering plant, bit off one of the fra
grant blossoms, and with many ex-

EGf the little child, and then bounded
toward the woman to receive caress

LIZARDS TO CURE CANCER.
This Is n FnvOrite Cure in the Tyrol,
While Color Healing Is Thought
Potent in India.

In the old medieval days the strang-
est and most remarkable things were
used as drugs for the amelioration and
cure of disease. Even to-day we may
still find curious cures.
One of the strangest in this latter
category is the use of precious stones
for the cure of disease. The diamond is
considered one of the most useful of all
gems, and is especially indicated in GER
tain diseases of the nervous system. Its
successful application in long-standing
cases of feminine irritability has long
beerA known to the average husband
and lover, but its prosaic use as a sub
stitute for asafoetida or other objec-
tionable substances will no doubt come
as surprise to everybody.
Novel as is the idea, it, however, finds
q parallel in the case of certain nations,
who believe that diamond placed in
glass of water communicates many vir-
tues to the fluid, making it exceedingly
valuable in the cure of disease.
In Jamaica the natives believe reso-
lutely that people with warts can get
rid of them, provided they use piece
of pork fat to rub the eXcrescences,
and then bury the fat Immediately
after using it, new piece being used
for each application.
For the cure of warts, indeed, a
somewhat similar remedy is in vogue
in certain parts of England, the excres-
cences being rubbed with q piece of
beef, which must, however, be stolen
before it is used, and must then be
carefully buried.
Breathing on wart nine times at the
time of the new moon is also declared
to be very efrectual in removing them.
Among other remarkable methods of
curing must certainly be mentioned
one which is much used in certain
parts OF the Tyrol for cancer. This
consists in decapitating and skinning
lizards, the flesh of which is cut up
into pieces and swallowed by the pa
tient without cooking or any modifica-
ton.
After a few doses of this drug"
have been swallowed they are said to
produce a profuse perspiration and
gradually slouging off of the cancer
GUS growth. which is repaired by per
fcctly healthy tissue.
Scarcely less potent is mode of heal
ing which is much vaunted in certain
quarters of India. This may be called
color healing" 1t consists in admins
tering water in glasses of different col,
ors. from which color the draft obtains
its properties which are magical il
their elrect-provided the patient is en-
| dowed with sufficient faith.
Water in red glass will cure epilep
sy, insomnia, nervous diseases, the
plague, fevers and agues and half &
score of the other diseases which NOR
tai flesh is heir TO. In Il blue glass it is
i sovereign remedy for the palsy, fol
falling sickness. for typhoid and fol
numerous other allied and nonrelated
complaints. while in a green glass it il
a specific for other complaints, and il
yellow for yet another batch.-Pear
