DIR. SEM, the famous sur
geon. has recently given $4,000
10 Rush Medical college for = now
building that promises to equal any
thing of the kind in the United States
for medical and surgical teaching.
The vast amount of good accomplished
in such institutions can hardly be
realized. But when one falls i'll or
has relative or dear one become sick
with some dangerous ailment, we turn
naturally to the physician who has
had scientific training in the best
schools and hospitals. Physicians
until few years ago were compelled
to 90 to Europe for such teaching;
New York has supplied their needs
for several years, and soon Chicago
will possess every facility for ad-
vanced medical instruction. Lancas-
ter has been fortunate in having for
these half dozen years past, the SER
vices of a physician whose training
both in Europe and America has fitted
him for the successful treatment of
the most obscure and stubborn cases
of disease. DR.. McElwee, the physi-
characterized to. with his modern
special remedies from Earope's most
noted chemists, gets cures that have
astonished the people generally. Even
in lung diseases, the doctor gets
many well who were supposed to be
incurable.

MACARTHUR WASN'T "MR. -
How n Handsome Young Woman
Took Some Dinner Guests
by Surprise.

Alexander Macarthur, author of a
successful study of life in the Latin
quarter of Paris, which brought to the
writer both popularity and profit. is
also the pupil and biographer of Rubin
stein and is close friend of Paderew-
ski, says the Philadelphia Evening
Post. The author lived for two years
in st. Petersburg, corresponding for
the London press and taking part in
some thrilling adventures, but the most
singular of the writer's experiences
happened in Chicago after the novel
had been brought out by publisher of
that city. The book had been so sue
eessful that the publisher decided to
give the author Il dinner. to which
a dozen of the leading men of letters
of the lake city were invited. The
guests had assembled when the author
was announced.
Through the blue haze Of smoke there
appeared a handsome young woman
attired in evening dress.
I'VE are expecting Mr.. Macarthur"
said the host; Mr.. Alexander MacAr-
thur, the novelist"

rearrange affairs and the dinner was

BANDAGEs OF PULP.
Their Ready Application Is only one
of the Many Advantages
They Possess.

A United States naval surgeon adyo-
Gates the substitution Of wood pulp
sheets for faSseed meal, ETC., in MAX
ing poultices, says the Philadelphia
Record. lie cuts a sheet OF the pulp
to a size approximate to the surface to
be covered, soaks the sheet in hot va.
ter until it has become thoroughly
softened. then wrings it out. very light
", and applies. The wood pulp sheet
will absorb and hold from four to five
times its weight of water. and, since
heat and moisture are the desiderata
in poultices. this furnishes them IN
simple. clearly form. No cloths are
needed, no cooking, no stirring and
spreading on cloth, just soaking in
hot water. And the incest part is the
total absence Of the mess inevitable to
making flaxseed meal poultices, al
though there is, too, a great economy
of time and trouble. 1t is sometimes
advisable to put piece of oiled muslin
over the sheet to help to retain the
heat and moisture.
When the "poultiee" begins to get
cold take it off, wiring out the water,
and soak it again in hot water, and so
on indefinitely. The surgeon has used
the same sheet of pulp wood for two
days poulticing, in the hands of an ig-
norant man at that, his instructions
to him being ito soak the plaster in hot
water whenever it got cold, and put ii
on again"
BY the WY, every physician who has
had the annoyance and trouble of be-
ing compelled to leave an all-important
matter of poulticing to an ignorant
person will appreciate way that will
allow no loophole for mistakes and
failures

A TRADITION EXPLODED.
Here IL an Extraordinary Younx
Woman Who Is Actually Fond
of DissectinE Nice.

The popular belief that all women are
afraid of mice has been exploded, SAYS
the Philadelphia Record. There is n
young woman visiting a prominent
Conshohocken family who actually
boasts of her fondness for not only
mice, but rats. The hostess remarked
the other day that her life was made
miserable by the bordes of rats and
mice that infested her cellar.
oh. let me go down and see them. :"
exclaimed this remarkable young wom-
an. I'D like to catch one and dissect
1t, so You can see what a cute little
heart it has" The hostess was horror
stricken and begged to know what her
guest knew of dissection.
III tell YOU" was the reply. "When
at boarding school we had such a dear
old professor. He used to give us rnanv
interesting and entertaining lessons
FOR instance, he would get a rat. run
his sharp knife around its neck. and
presto. the hide was removed. tail and
all. Then he would cut up the remains
and. point out the various organs. With
little instruction any of us girls could
perform the operation. and we soon
nJoyed 1t. tell you. there was such
demand for subjects that the school
was soon rid of rats and mice"

yIRGINIA,s BIG APPLE TREES.
some Giants THAT Grow ut the Foo'
of the Blue Ridge Noun
tafus.

Near Stuart, Va. at the foot of a
spur OF the Blue Ridge mountains,
there is an apple tree which measures
nine feet and five inches around. says
the Philadelphia Record. Five feet
from the ground are four branches, the
largest being SIX feetaround, the next
five feet SIX inches, the next five feet,
tie smallest four feet five inches The
tree is 80 feet high and Il feet broad.
Although it IS about 7Q years old II
bore this year a very large crop. It
has been known to produce 10 bushels
in a season. and. as might be supposed,
the soil IN which it grows is exceeding
y rich.
On a neehboring farm there is an
apple tree which is eight feet five
inches around In 1850 $ bushels Of
nice picked apples were gathered from
il and sold at the apple house for 500.
The tree is - years old and is still bear
ing.
Two miles from Stuart. on the farm
of J. w. Robertson. stands the famous
Robertson apple tree. the parent of all
the apple trees Of that name in the
United States. 1t bears a large red APP
pie, which keeps well, and it has pro-
dueed at one bearing s. bushels, is
about 50 years old and is still in bear
ing.
\ few years ago there was on farm
near Stuart an apple tree which pro-
luced at one bearing 80 bushels. 1t
shaded at meridian 90 feet of ground in
diameter. Apple trees grow very large
in Patrick county, and the flavor OF the
fruit is unsurpassed.

Jealousy Among Monkeys.

When monkey gives way to jeal-
ousy it shows degree of hatred for
the animal that has innocently aroused
it's malice that makes it for the time a
monster of cruelty. On ship re.
turning from one Of her tours in tropi-
cal lands was monkey which became
O great friend Of the stewardess.
One day she fed another monkey, a
pretty, gentle creature. This triaing
attention enraged the other monkey,
which coaxed the little thing to its
side and then, before the stewardess
had time to realize that mischief was
meant, took it by the neck and flung
it overheard.
OF another monkey the same person
tells that while preparing dinner for a
grand party the cook was absent from
the kitchen for q minute. No sooner
had her back been turned than the
monkey slipped a kitten Of which it
had always been jealous into the soup
pot. The poor kittens fate was only
discovered az dinner time, when the
guests sent back their soup untasted,
because it was found to be full Of
short hairs. In both cases there is
no doubt the monkey was cruel by
malice aforethougbt.

Perhaps no woman in the United
Staes has stranger occupation than
that of Mrs. Maud Whiteman of Hum
boldt, New, who shoots wild horses
for their skins and earns about S. a
day at it.
Wild horses have so increased in
many of the western states that they
are ruthlessly killed for their hides or
they would drive cattle of the ranges
and monopolize the best grazing.
Mrs. Mhiteman goes hunting always
with her father, Henry Wilmau, a
veteran of the Mexican aud civil wars,
who lost his ranch in California about
six years ago by financial misfortune
and removed to Nevada.
Father and daughter ride we'll and
shoot we'll. It is their custom to
hitch their own horses as decoys and
hide in the timber. When wild horses
come up one OF them carefully shoots
,the leader of the herd so as to disable
him but not kill him. The others
scamper away, bat curiosity soon i'm
pels them TO return. Then father and
daughter open with their guns and
shoot as many as possible before the
herd gets ont OF range. The skins
are taken off and dried on sage bushes
and then sold for about S2 each.
When hunting Mrs. Whiteman, who
is bronzed, strong, active, black eyed
and 1.-the, with perfect tee@ and a
splendid carriage, wears &hscu1e
garb, but when she comes into town
she wears a black silk dress and
very feminine plumed Leghorn hat.
