young woman. the daughter Of wealthy
parents, whose husband was an Of
Acial of the Chinese imperial customs
service under Sir Robert Hart. Her
father, while making her prolonged
visit some four or nve years ago. was
struck even then by the signs OF hos
dlity to foreigners. He was so much
impressed by the danger of life In
China that he made his son-in-law .
hne business offer, to remove any
financial objections to returning to
America. The son-in-laws consent
was easily obtained. but the daughter
yielded only out OF regard for her ia
thsr. Life in China seemed then to
her far more attractive than life in
America, because. for one thing. they

Private Car.
Jimmy" Adams of Berkeley, West
Virginia. has returned from the Klon-
dixie. He has also created q sensation
by his spectacular arrival. When he
left Berkeley three years ago he went
with nothing and on a freight train. He
returned in u private car, hauled by a
leased locomotive. and brought with
him nearly 500, 600 in gfiold and paper
representing mining possessions worth
$5,000.OOO and prospectively worth ten
times as much. When he was back
from the north two years ago he had
some gold and good prospects, but he
had not written home since, and no one
was prepared for his return.
At Detroit he tired OF travelling in
ordinary trains and took the best and
biggest car he could get at $500 a day,
coming along leisurely and stopping Mt
Niagara Falls and New York. When
he got to Brunswick he leased an en-
gine to come over the branch line to
Berkeley Springs. arriving at the
station without a soul in the town ex-
pectin him. He had ten big trunks
hauled to his fathers house and $780,
600 gold taken to the bank. A year
ago he bought the old folks n fine farm
and on hisreturn he gave his father
$4,000 to put n house on 1t. Jimmy"

TRACTION ON TONGUE.
This Il the New Method of saving the
Drownin

This IL the New Method of Saving the
Drowning.
What is called the Laborde method
is surprising. simple and effective
method of reviving the drowning. The
asphyxiated person Is placed on his
back, with the head low, the clothing
Is loosened about the neck and the
jaws are opened and kept open by q
wedge passed between the molar
teeth; q knife handle. cane end or
any suitable object Of size Sufficient
to keep the jaws distended will serve
the purpose. The throat is freed OF
mucus by the finger wrapped in . fold
or handkerchief. Tratcion on tho
tongue is then begun in the following
manner: The thumb and index nm
ger are covered by one thickness of
handkerchief to prevent the tongue
slipping, and the tongue Is seized as
far back as possible from the tip. FIJI
teen times to the minute at about
equal intervals the tongue IL pulled
out sharply and the tension imme-
diately relaxed. This traction must
be SO exerted that the whole body of
the tongue is affected and not merely
the tip. As the tongue Is drawn out
to its fullest extent the first two or
three times 1t facilitates action II the
index finger Of the other hand is gent
ly thrust In the pharynx, rs though an
effort were made to induce vomiting.
These fractions should be kept up At
least thirty minutes and may be con-
tinued an hour without result, but
ought not to be discontinued under
that time or even longer. for many
persons have been restored to life and
health who have been pronounced
dead over an hour. II assistants are
at hand 1t is well to supplement the
above method by the use of mechanical
artificial respiration according to me-

SOL'S RAYS A POTENT RfMfDIAL AGENT

sion. His little patients rapidly re-
gained their health. and the virtue
that lies in red curtains and red
lamps is being extolled by many physi-
clans. Impressed, like DIR. Chatiniere.
by the fact that the influence of the
solar rays is especially manifested OF
the faces and hands OF patients, DIR.
Finsen conceived the idea of subject
ing persons suffering from smallpox
to the influence Of ultraviolet rays,
which reached them after the light had
been filtered through thick red cur
tains. The result was that the little
vesicles or bladders gradually disap-
peared and the patients did not suffer
from the customary fever and, further
more. were not pockmarked. The ul-
tra-violet rays, indeed. in the case of
these patients produced practically
the same effect as the red light In that
Of DR.. Chatiniere's, the most notable
tokens of their efficacy being the abb
sence OF fever and restlessness and the
gradual disappearance Of the eruptions
before coming to maturity. It was
also noticed that the rays had a
marked effect on the maladies in SO
far as they affected the bronchial
tubes. DR.. Finsen's method of cure
has been introduced into France by
DR.. Larat. and is being used not only
in cases of smallpox. but also in cases
Of certain forms OF skin diseases.
La Junta tribune., 1900-11-10

Recent experiments indicate that the
sun u,ay be a potent remedial agent
in the case OF persons attacked with
smallpox, scarlatina and measles.
These experiments were made by DR..
Finsen OF Copenhagen and DR.. Chati-
nie,e Of st. Maude. and SO novel were
theS that they have aroused good
deaf OF discussion among the members
of the Academy OF Medicine in Paris.
DR.. Chatiniere a short time ago treated
twelve children who had measles ac-
cording to this new method, which
is scientifically known as photothera-
pie. Red light was the only cure which
he used. and this he made serviceable
IN the following manner: On the win
dows Of the sick rooms he hung red
curtains. and on the table near each
bed he placed lamp which gave forth
a red light. He acted thus because
he felt satisfied that the irritation of
the skin In cases of measles is due
to the chemical rays of the solar spec
trum or. in other words. to the ultra
violet rays, and not to the so-called
caloric or heat rays. II this were not
