Doctoring the Human Brain.

This is an age of surprises. The 9TH
er day a man who had been cured of
broken neck was discharged from
New York hospital. Frederick Barto,
of Somerville, n. j., has not only lived
for five days with a part of the front of
his skull torn away, but with frac-
ture at its base. Besides, he has been
conscious and able to converse intelli-
gently the while. These facts are
strange when it is known that previous
to receiving his injuries he was par
alytic and inclined to melancholia.
His condition, SO far as these troubles
are concerned, is remarkably i'm
proved. That mysterious organ, the
brain, is yet imperiectly understood,
with all the progress that has been
made in medical science. Perhaps the
Investigations of the near future will
disclose facts concerning its dominat-
ing influence in many bodily ills that
will enable the practitioner to more
successfully combat disease.
Doctoring the brain is nowadays a
delicate and frequently fatal process.
There may come time when the Sc
erets of the sensitive seat of mind will
be discovered chat the body has often
been treated where the brain itself
should have been the direct recipient
of curatives A thoroughly unbal-
anced mind has sometimes been re-
stored TO a normal condition by an ac-
cidental blow. In this there is crude
suggestion for the relief which some
studious investigation may yet de-
velop into a scientific system. When
that day comes nervous diseases may
be made to yield as readily to treat
ment as the measles, and there may be
no such unfortunates as the hopelessly
insane - Washington Times.

She shows kindly interest in your
plans when you confide them to her
and gives readily her advice and her
help.
1t is the girl who is not cynical.
1t is the girl who does not think that
money is the source of all happiness.
Ii is the girl who has other ambi-
tions in life than to resemble the latest

springs of character are kindness and
unselfishness.-

Rural Mail Deliveries.

There are now ZIG rural free-delivery
routes in the country, and in nearly
every case they have added to the de-
partmenDs income and reduced its ex-
penditure in that particular district.
The increase of facilities given by daily
delivery of mails at rural residences
leads the people to write more letters,
and buy more goods which may be
sent them by post. The work of sort
ing and making up the mails is con
solidated in one central station, with a
consequent saving of expense. In
one well-populated Maryland county
63 small post offices have been abol-
ished by the introduction of the sys-
tenn. The postmasters in this case
strenuously objected to losing their
jobs, and obtained the signatures of
majority of the residents to protest
against the new system. The depart
ment persisted in its plan, and put on
wagons which are virtually post offices
on wheels, and which not only collect
and deliver mails, but also sell stamps
and money orders. The people who
said they preferred to go after their
mail and wanted the old post offices
retained now see their mistake, and
would not on any account go back to
the former system. The benefits to the
rural population Of mail delivery at
their homes, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, are so plain as to require no
argument. That the plan promotes
education and contentment on the
farm is evident. The system should
be extended as rapidly as possible to
every district where the population is
sufficiently dense to give business
enough to come within reasonable dis
tance of covering the expense. The
policy of the postofiice department has
always been to keep in advance of the
demand for postal facilities, and that
policy will doubtless be continued in
the matter of rural free delivery. The
safety of the republic is in the enlight-
ment of its citizens, and the postal
service is a great facilitator of educa-
ton. With the general extension Of
rural free delivery there will be less
talk about the monotony of farm life
and less desire on the part of young
people to get away from the farm to
the city.

A Rich Mans Project.

A rich mans statement that he in
tends to devote almost his entire for
tune to charitable works has aroused
much discussion. This is because it
will accomplish much good. 1t is a
praiseworthy endeavor, but there are
many other agencies which accomplish
just as much good. Take Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters for instance-the great
American remedy. For fifty years it
has cured constipation, dyspepsia and
all the ills which arise from weak di-
gestion. This medicine will keep the
stomach in good shape and the bowels
regular. 1t is wonderful restorative
tonic and health builder. 1t is also a
preventive for malaria, fever and ague.
Ask for it, and insist upon having it.

We are becoming a nation of beer
drinkers. Forty years ago the Amer
lean people consumed an average of
one barrel of beer to every sixteen in
habitants. The increase since that
time has been so great, that, during
1899 the consumption amounted to &c.
5s1, Id, barrels, or more than one bar
rel to every two of our entire popula-
ton. The manufacture of whisky has
not been SO rapid. In fact more whisky
was produced in 1854 than in 1899.

Representative King of Utah has in
troduced a bill of considerable import
ance to the mining men of the West.
1t provides for changes in the mining
laws so that the assessment work in
excess of S1O0 expended annually shall
be considered as applying to adjacent
claims of the same owners. Recently
the Interior Department has been rul-
ing that existing mining laws require
assessment work upon central claim
and that extra work upon central
claim cannot apply upon other claims
of a group. This ruling inficts hard
ship which Representative Kings bill
will remove.

Safety in Battle.

Every soldier believes that the only
safe place under fire is the recent scene
of some cannonade escaped. When
defending fort or camp, the wounded
are generally placed in the breaches,
as the enemy is not likely to waste
powder and shot on points which have
already been cleared of all barricade.
The same holds true of naval engage
ments. Sailors much prefer to sit in
some yawning gap still hot and smok-
ing from the effect of splintering
cannon ball than behind the stoutest
bulwark.

One of the exhibits at the Paris Ex-
position by the Department of Agri-
culture of our Government, shows the
reason and the wherefore of the fact
that on bad road, an ordinary Amer
lean country road, it takes twenty
horses to draw an eleven ton load; on
a good road one horse draws the same
load as easily as did the twenty horses
in the other case. What folly to so to
Paris with such an exhibition when it
ought to be placed on view in every
county in the home land. What we
want is proof ofthe pudding right here,
and likewise proof to convinc" the
minds of our own people that the road
which enables a load to be moved most
swiftly with least power, is cheaper
than one that demands most power to
move the least load. Record Union.

Ten Hints for Housewives.

A scientific journal gives ten good
things worth kowning: 1. Salt curdles
milk and should not be added until the
dish is prepared. 2. Clear boiling
water will remove fruit and tea stains.
g. Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and
other stains from white cloth and also
from the hands. 4. a tablespoonful of
turpentine added while boiling clothes
will aid the whitening process. 5.
Boiled starch is much improved by the
addition of little sperm salt or dis
solved gum arabic. 6. That beeswax
and salt will make rusty fiat irons as
clean and smooth as glass. 7. Blue
ointment and kerosene, in equal pro-
portions, applied to bedsteads is an un-
failing bug remedy. s. Kerosene will
soften boots and shoes when hardened
with water and render them pliable.
8. Kerosene will make tea kettles as
bright as new; saturate a woolen cloth
and rub with it. 10. Cool rain water
and soda will remove machine grease
from washable fabrics.

In China doors are often round, leaf
shaped or semicircular. In placing
them the builder usually avoids having
one opposite another lest evil spirits
find their way from the street into the
recesses Of the building. The door
ways separating the courts of a garden
are usually of an elaborate kind, and
the octagonal form is one of the most
popular.
Religious superstition asserts itself in
Chinese architecture. and the universal
sacredness Of the numerals three and
nine is shown in the arrangement of
temple doors. There Is a triple gate

The Scttered Bands of Beers Are
Allowed no Rest-Entire British
Army Undergoing Re-Organi-
zatlon-Kitchener's Work.

London, Nov. 19.-The guer-
rilla warfare in South Africa has
become less formidable. The
centers of hostile operators in
Dutch territory may have multi
piled but the Boer commanders
are thinned out from death. The
skirmishes recorded daily by
Lord Roberts were pretty affairs
in which scores of Boer COM
batants were engaged, where
formerly there were hundreds
and sometimes thousands. Few
prisoners are taken. The Brit
ish army is adapting itself to the
altered conditions, and is gradu-
ally wearing out the energies of
its persistent and obstinate foe.
Where once there were divisions
with a complete staff organiza-
ton, there are now brigades and
lightly equipped mobile columns
are sent in pursuit of small
bands of guerrillas. The entire
British army is in process of re-
organization for the special ex-
terminating service which is
now required. Gen. Kelly
Kenny. who commanded the 9th
Division in the terrible march
across the veldt, has been re.
lieved from command at Bloem.
fortein, and Gen. Hunter has
taken his place. Kitchener is
picking out men who have
special capacity for fighting the
Beers.
The new tactics seem affective
The scattered bands of Beers
are constantly harrassed and al
lowed no rest. The lires of com
munication are strongly guard
ed, and are not seriously men
aced. The Beers are alert, bu
only able to operate on a small
scale against outposts, and thell
cattle and horses are constantly
taken from them, and here anC
there small squads of burgher,
| are killed. The Beers have no
had single success in the las
! six weeks, and the sum of theil
losses is considerable. 1t is no
strange that optimists are pre-
dieting the close of hostilities b,
