Lockjaw when caused by a wound
has long been considered incurable, and
it is only of late years that few in
stances of successful treatment have
been recorded, the most striking being
those effected by the Indian woorali
poison and by enormous doses of alco-
hol. Two cases are reported in which
all the alarming symptoms were re-
moved by violent perspiration. The
first was that of young man OF %,
who had the misfortune Of having his
hand caught in a gearing of a threshing
machine, part Of the skin was torn Off,
but in the course of fortnight every
thing seemed progressing toward a
speedy cure, when one morning the pa
tent awoke with a strange rigidity in
his jaws. violent pain all over the stern
um, intermittent difficulty Of breathing
and convulsive starts in the lower limbs.
! A doctor being called in, he Immediate
| " proceeded to throw the patient into
a violent Eerspiraticn. For this pur-
pose he had hoops put under the bed
clothes in order to prevent their con-
tact with the body, and then got four
deep pots filed with quicklime, which
he slightly moistened with water.
To prevent the skin from being
scorched, each pot was wrapped in
linen and placed en- each side of the pa
tent, orders being given to the family
to moisten the quickEme from time TO
time and to change it when exhausted.
The heat cngendered was SO intense
that on the first day the bedclothes
caught fire, which, however, was speed
lily extinguished. As for the perspra-
ton, it was so i1nmoderate as to pass
all belief. On the fifth day all tetanic
symptoms had disappeared, except a
little stiffness in the jaws, the patient
was in a state of complete prostration,
which was, however, removed by good
nourishment, and in few days after
all traces Of the dangerous affection
had disappeared.
The second case was that of day la
borer, who, when the doctor came, ap.
peared in dying state. He at first de-
MED having had any wound, but upon
examination an injury caused by a hob
nail was discovered on one of his great
toes-a circumstance the patient had
: forgotten. The treatment was the
same and attended with the same re-

"You are uncommonly good, Mr..

SO many letters in those snowbound
in their going and coming; and Titus
was honestly anxious to learn what
Nancy Higgins wrote home from
Ouray to her mother; and he waited
till old man Sessions had opened
Franks letter from New York that
he might find out how the boy was
getting on and how he liked his job.
So when he saw letter addressed in
masculine hand to Miss Claribel zoe
and bearing Cincinnati postmark, he
knew just as we'll as if he had read it
that the handsome young Anderson
had magnifcently concluded that she
would eft in to his comfortable life
and surroundings, and had written to
tell her so. Titus cursed him for a
puppy. He hated man who made
condolences, and any man so loose
of soul as Anderson, who blabbed his
affairs to any chance companion,
seemed to him something less than a

''But she's bound to like the pretty
boy" he thought. Hes the. kind

nicer woman is the bigger fool she
marries.'
And he said to himself that he would
make no effort to eat turkey at Yoe's.
But it may have been that his horse
was fond of turkey-no, that is wrong,
for there were two relays between Blk

ton, it is absolutely impossible to tell
just why it was that Bucking Titus

MILITARY AFFAIRS.

dent Mckinley

Washington, Nov. "a - Chairman
Hull, of the House committee on mil
itary affairs, called meeting of the
committee for next Tuesday. He
hopes that a quorum will be pres
ent and that the committee can go
to work Immediately upon the out
lines of new army bill. Mr.. HUH was
in conference with the president and
with officials of the war department
upon the character of legislation de-
sired by the administra ton. He said
the president will communicate to
congress very fully his recommends
tions about the army, and he did not
assume to speak the presidents mind
IN advance. He thought, however,
that the administration would not
be content with any makeshift legis-
lation, no proposition to continue the
present law for two years more. His
impression was that the president
wanted authority to raise a regular
army sufficient for the needs of the
country. 100000 men. if necessary. the
number to be reduced when there was
no longer need for them
Mr.. Hull said the Taft commission
had reported that $4,000 Filipinos
could be enlisted Immediately in the
army for the Philippines, and that
they would make good soldiers I'M
der American officers. There was no
fear of a repetition of Great Brit
aims experience with the Sepoys, for
the Filipinos. Mr.. Hull said, have no
national feeling. like the natives of
India. Moreover, added Mr. Hull, the
experiment Of enlisting native troops
has proven successful, and there are
no more loyal nor efficient soldiers
than the natives enlisted in the Brit

A PROSPEROUS YEAR.
The Best Period known to American
Shipping Since 1861 Is
That of 1900.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The report of
Commissioner Of Navigation Chamber
lain says the past fiscal year has been
the most prosperous period known to
American shipping for some years.
Returns for the current fiscal year
promise an even more satisfactory
record. For the first time since the
civil war the documented tonnage Of
the United States exceeds 100000
gross tons. On June 30, 1900. Amer
lean documented tonnage comprised
1888 vessels of 5.164.839 gross tons,
an increase of 100000 tons over the
previous fiscal year. Our maximum
tonnage was 5,539,S13 tons in 1861.

Bucking Titus gave fierce lurch
at the saddle bags, though they
seemed to Anderson to be adjusted
quite correctly.

surroundings as hers and yet have
that soft voice and charming accent

hers is more than I know. And she

handsome head and laughed.
"Good-by!" cried he. 81 like the
idea! I'll have to go home and think
the matter over. If it seems likely
that she will fit into the life there
who knows?"
A "cotton tail" scudded out of the
drifting snow before the men, and
Anderson SHE'D. Fortunately his
horse stood steady. AS for Bucking
Titus, he sped a bullet quick as
thought, and the little creature gave
one last leap and lay inert. The
mail messenger dlsmounted and
picked up the pretty beastie.

pot at the boarding house." said he

foot off with his knife and handed
it to Anderson.

man, delighted. ''As like as not it

through his beard, anu he put spurs

1t is said that the curved pages of
the ordinary book are injurious TO the
eye of reader. The curvature neces-
states constant change of the focus
Of the eye as it reads from one side to
another, and osciliary muscles are
under constant strain. Moreover, the
light falls unequally upon both sides
of the page, further interfering with
a continued clear field of vision. 1t IS
suggested that the difficulty might be
obliterated if the lines should ne
printed parallel to the binding IN
stead of at right angle to it.
