that it was not safe, as his cond ion
was SO weak that he might not be able

was administered cautiously before
applying the electricity. When only
partially under its influence the doct-
Ors saw that the effects would be what
they had feared and applied restora-

without effect. Mr.. McClaren's case

WISE WOODPEcKERS.

How They Drive Worms from tho Inaids

A Chicago professor who has betn
in the Maine woods this summer tells
an interesting story Of the intelligence
Of family Of woodpeckers which he
encountered near the headwaters Of
the Allegash, and which were most
uncOmmonly bright BIRDS AS every
one knows who has observed these
birds at all, they feed on the worms
which burrow into trees. Any worm
wA.n a fair amount ofo activity can
bore agallery three or four feet long in
a tree in single seasene so to find his

eral holes in the tree in order to get
at his victim. This particular family
q woodpeckers, having some difficulty
in getting at the worms after they
had drilled hole into his gallery,
proposed to save themselves unneces-
sary work. Ando what do you think
they did? In the Allegash woods
grows the indian soke," a plant with
berries possessing an alkaline juice
particularly disagreeable to all animal
life. And SO these Allegash Wood
peckers. having made an entrance
into the dom"'1 of the borer, proceed
next to drop berries Of the Indian
poke into the opening. And so much
does the worm dislike the odor of the
poke berries that he comes out to get
away from it. and incidentally to see
who has had the impertinence to
cause him so much discomfort. He
never gets any further than the en-
trance. because Mr.. Woodpecker is
waiting there. and that worm is goh-
bled up SO quickly that he never
Knows what happened to him. This
seems like good deal Of fairy story,
doespt 1t? But Prof. Eastman J.
Clarke says h. saw it with his own
eyes.

email work in ameliorating the condi-
Non of abnormal infants and adults.
The results Of this humanitarian's
work in the Medico-P Pedagogical Insti-

ing topic in medical circles on the con-
tinent.. The wonderful results of his
cure have gone the round Of the press

months. DR.. Bonneville is receiving
letters every day with crested headings
imploring him to do something for
some young scion Of royal house.
The writer's want the physician to
come to their castles. but to all these
entreaties there is but one reply:
Send your child to Vitry." To mix
with the plebian crowd in the vitry
institute is sacrifice which patrician
pride is not always willing to make,
SO that most of the inmates belong to
the proletarian class. DIR. Bonneville
said in an interview a few days ago:
Nothing has been left undone to

most prominent religious body is the

charge of the Jesuits. The next most
important was the cathedral, in whose
schools the Sisters Of st. Dominic,
from the beautiful convent said to
have been destroyed, have long been
the teachers. st. Joseph's was the Ger
man Catholic church, and there was
st. Patrick's, in a suburb, and the
Holy Rosary for colored people, Be

A dealer in spices declares that the
consumer can now buy pound Of
what purports to be pepper, ground,
packed in tin box and labeled
cheaper than the wholesaler can buy
pure unground pepper by the ton. The
dealer who undertakes to sell really
pure pepper must therefore charge a
price for his goods which seems high
when compared with the prices of his
competitors, and thus adulteration be-
comes the general practice. It is an
outrage on the consumer, yet it is the
consumers continual demand for
cheapness that is largely to blame. The
honest dealer and the customer who is
willing to pay fair price for pure
goods will have no redress until public
opinion demands government inspec-

his right mind and in few months
will be sent home entirely cured to his
happy parents in Marsef1les. He Is
now learning the carpenters trade.and
he will be apprenticed as soon as he
returns home. How has all this been,
accomplished? DR.. Bonneville says
that he has not uttered a harsh word
to jacques nor punished the boy at
any time for disobedience. or trans-
gression Of discipline. First, there
was week of patient observance of
his peculiar form Of idiocy and a daily
examination Of the uniformed organs.
He was treated as at home, fed with
spoon. conveyed into the garden in
rolling chair, left to mutter and stare
at Will and at night carried o bed. His
nurse in all details gave him maternal
care. In the case Of jacques. DIR.
Bonneville determined that massage,
followed by special gymaastic course
was the best treatment. for his dag
nosis revealed that his form Of imbe-
c1lity was traceable mostly to an i'm
perfect development Of the facial,
manual and pedal lineaments and
other peculiar deformities contracted
before birth and permitted to become
aggravated by ignorant nursing. Elec-
trio and medicated baths were also
prescribed by the doctor. It was
weeks before jacques could stretch out
his arms and months before he could
stand up without assistance. AS to
feeding Jacques his fondness for GER
tain delicacies were soon ascertained.
These were finally given to him at ev-
cry meal. but only when he would
reach out his hands for them. Curious
musical instruments attracted the pa
TENTS attention. The only time when
he was known to smile was when the
doctor would play on his violin.
Jacques soon learned to walk from his
room to the farther end Of the garden
II he wanted to see and hear the doc
tor play. After three months JACQUES
fed himself. could walk and talk and
dress himself. Then began a slow
course Of gymnastics, while DR.. Bourne
vile left nothing undone to reduce
the abnormal facial formations by
massage and the mental restoration by
the pestalozzian method OF instruction.
The latter method consists in object
lessons. the garden and the streets
and the rooms taking the place OF
books.

Japan Loses Veteran Statesman.
Japan recently lost one of her vet
eran statesmen in Count Kuroda, pres
ident of the privy council, in his six
tieth year. His death was unexpected
by his family, for, although he had
been ill for some time. no alarming
symptoms had been observed until
congestion of the brain suddenly car
ried off the noble patient. The de-
ceased was born in the family Of a
clansman in Kagoshima in the eleventh
year of tempo (1840). EARLY in life he
came up to Tokyo to study gunnery,
and when the Shogunate government
was making it's last struggle for exist
ence he, in conjunction with the late
Toshimichi Okubo and other loyalists,
espoused the imperial cause. He held
the Office of court adviser for some
time, and in 1892 again entered the
ministry occupying the post OF min-
lister of communications, In 1895 he
was transferred to the presidency Of
the privy council, and in the same year
the grand order Of the Rising Sun and
Paulownia was conferred upon in APP
probation of his services in connecs
ton with the war of 1894-95. During
1896 he, was three times appointed
prime minister "ad interim" and in
that year was given the court title OF
