ODD CASE OF MIND CURE.
Breaking of q Thermometer Cures
Woman OF Fever.

pr..L,ne Of Thermometer Cures
woman OF Fever.
A prominent Philadelphia physi-
clan. who has looked skeptically upon
all the new theories of curing disease
without medicine, says he has recently
seen an instance of the influence OF
the mind over the body that has
greatly surprised him. One OF his
natients. a woman who ten years ago
was saved from wreck at sea, has
since been subject to attacks OF fever
regularly once year. As there SEEM
ed to be no particular reason for these
spells of illness, his usual treatment
has been to send her out of town, and
the change was always beneficial. This
year, however, a wedding in the fam
lily prevented the trip, and the fever
increased with such severity that the
doctor became seriously alarmed. One
day the patients temperature was ap-
normally high, and the doctor, to see
If the heat of the atmosphere could
partially explain it, took thermome-
ter from the wall to note the tempera-
ture of the room. Inc Instrument
slipped through his fingers and fell to
the floor, breaking the glass tube.
Turning to his patient, he saw that her
face was less flushed, and as he felt her
pulse and watched her, the fever rap
idly abated and left her quickly. The
thermometer had been on the wrecked
vessel, and it was always on the an
niversary of the day of the wreck that
the fever appeared. It was inferred
that at these times the woman'sServes
had responded to the terror AMI anx-
iety of that experience. and the break
ing of the thermometer had shattered
the nervous strain of memory kept
alive by its observation-disclosures

THE QUEENS PREACHER.
How Bishop Carpenter Preached to the
Sculiery Maid.

Scul1ery Maid.
OF DIR. Boyd Carpenter, the bishop
of Ripon, whose preaching was much
admired by the late Queen Victoria,
the following remark is quoted by a
writer in Black and White:
81 never address the queen at all"
he told somebody who asked him II he
felt nervous when preaching before
Queen Victoria. 81 know that there
will be present the queen, the princes,
the household and the servants down
to the scullery maid, and / preach to
the scullery maid" The remark is
typical OF the man. DR.. Carpenter has
always been royal favorite, but he is
infinitely happier in the cottage than
in the palace. He is not ashamed to
ride in bus, and he has often told
the story of a penny ride from West
minister to Charing Cross. When the
ticket collector came around the bishop
found. to his establishment that he
had not a penny in his pocket, and his

opposite the city Of Santiago. He

Brice, SON of the late Senator Calvin
Brice, one of Skaters military fam
fly, and Col. Creighton Webb, inspec-
tor-general of Gen. Lawton's division,

to Gen. Shafter with scheme for the

be afraid of doing. They planned call
ing for volunteers to man an army
transport, putting on the vessel bat
terry OF field guns, and with it force an
entrance to the harbor and take up
position behind one of the islands in
the bay, where they would be out of
the line OF fire from any battery and
yet be in position to rake the city.
shafter took kindly to the plan,
which was kept deep secret, but, like
all secrets, the scheme leaked out and
scores Of officers were eager to volun-
teer, some of them Offering to go as

the fleet was moving into the harbor.
The Spaniards opened up all along the
line about that time and we were some
what busy ourselves, yet We kept
keen ears in the direction of the bay
The heavy booming seemed to move
eastward, and finally the voice of the
great guns grew fainter and at last
died out. Even then we did not think
the Spanish fleet had gone out, and it
was not until noon that word came
from Gen. Ludlow, who was north of
the city, where he could see the bay,
that the Spanish ships apparently had
gone out of the harbor, for none was
to be seen.
At last we received definite news of
the great victory and then the men in
the trenches gave voice to their en-

details, and it is interesting to recall
the fact that no one then had whis-
