Curins wart. By surr..t,on. :

Among the curiosities Of disease
which pathologists must somehow ex-
plain and put In line with their other
observations before they can dogmatlze
as TO the permanence Of organic
changes is the disappearance Of warts,
often apparently under nervous influ-
ences of the character of suggestion.
AS is well known, the stories about
warts and their cure by strange de-
vices are infinite, and in many cases
are so strange that 1t Is only on the
hypothesis Of suggestion that they can
be explained or even believed. Need
less to say, however, the theory that
such solid and obvious overgrOwths as
warty masses can be made to shrlvel
and die off under the influence of such
a mental process as suggestion has
bearings which reach far and can hard
ly be limited to warts alone.
A case Is related by DR.. Dibble Staple
of n girl Is years old who haG large
number Of warts on both her hands.
She had counted Us many as 94 on the
medical journals that number of
warts had been cured by vaccination.
the doctor determined. with the con-
sent of her relatives, to give the plan
q trial. He therefore reyaccinated the
patient on June /. The vaccination
was successful. but no effect was pro-
duced on the warts until seven weeks
after, when they gradually disappear
cd, leaving temporary white spots, and
when she was seen on Aug. 80 she had
70 trace of them.-Lordon Hospital.

Silent and wild was the place.
In moment her voice lent its music,
And around shone the light Of her face
Her face, and hers onlyl

But mood wrapped her soul from all view;
We spake, but flowed the slenca
And deeper the solitude grew
How deep and how lonely!

Rockville Correspondence in Spring field Republican: Nearly year has passed since the announcement of the plan of Ratcliffe Hicks to found the Hicks in- dustrial and educational institute in ToI- land. with a fund of $1,O00,000. The Legislature granted the charter, and also passed vote of thanks to MT. Hicks for his great generosity. The incorporators were named. Since that time, however, there has apparently no action been taken by Mir. Hicks in regard to the matter, and Rockville and Holland residents are not enthusiastic about the institute. At torney- General Charles Phelps of Rock vile Is one of the incorporators, and he has heard nothing in regard to any plans of Mir. Hicks for undertaking the real work of the institute since last spring, and the plans seem to be, as then entirely on paper...... An official from Washington has made careful examination of the No. 1 rural delivery route from the Rock vile office. He found 1t in a most satis- factory condition, and considered 1t one of the best routes in this section of the state. Congressman E. s. Henry of Rockville, now in Washington, is making every effort to have the other two routes from the Rockville office opened as soon as possi- ble. These routes will include parts of Ellington, Windsor, Mapping, Holland and Coventry, and cover all of the sur- rounding country, within 15 miles of Rock vile. There now appears to be little opposition to the service, and the rural residents are generally demanding it.
