1t is a singular thing that in the
popular view of disease the intsrde.
pendence of the several organs of the
body is lost sight OF. The heart for
example, is diseased and it is treated as
if it were entirely separated from, and
Independent Of, every other organ.
The fallacy Of this opinion is shown
by the cures of heart "trouble," liver
rtrouble," kidney "trouble -" and other
so-called troubles" effected by the use
of DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discov-
cry. Primarily the discovery is a
medicine for the cure of diseases of the
stomach and blood. But it cures dis
eases of organs seemingly remote from
the stomach, because these diseases have
their origin in a diseased condition Of
the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.

DID Aguiualdo bargain for his
own capture, for a price, and have
the American people been made
the victims of colossal official
bunro! That is startling qucs-
ton, but circumstances have caus-
ed it To be asked in Washington,
since the cable news reported Ag-
uimaldo to be buying diamonds and
jcwclry, and it is decidedly peril
ncnt, too. Diamonds cost money,
and if Aguinaldo has been buying
them, where did he get the mon
cy? Any money that was found
at his headquarters when he was
captured would, if usual methods
We're followed, have been contis-
Gated as contraband of war and
turned over to the /. $. Military
authorities, who would have turn
ed it into the /. :. treasury. None
of the many detailed statements
of Aguinaldo's capture have said
anything about the capture of any
money, yet it is presumably GER
tain that he had some. All these
things, and more, have been talk
cd about in connection with Ag-
uinaldo's purchase of diamonds.
1t may be all straight, but as one
high army officer who was in the
Philippines until recently, puts it,
There seems ample ground for
the suspicion that there has been
something doing between Aguin-
aldo aud the men who handle the
secret service .uuds of this govern
mcmt in the Philippines The
same officer said: TT would not
surprise me at all to learn that the
Filipino who was supposed to have
betrayed Aguiualdo was acting
under that willy chaps orders all
the time, and that the capture was
all carefully arranged in advance
by Aguinaldo.'

Turkish school presents a singular
scene. The pupils are seated cross

the porch of the mosque, forming a
semicircle about the hodta, who is. as
a rule. an old fat man. He holds In
his hand a stick long enough to reach
every student says the Boston Herald.
By means OF this rod he is enabled
not only to preserve order amors the
mischievous but to urge on the boy
whose recitation Is not satisfactory.
But, as a rule, hodjas are lazy and
often fall asleep. Then it is that the
pupils enjoy what the American boy
would style picnic" trick they

teacher is to anoint his na:' and long
gray beard with wax, which is, OF
course, very difficult to get rid of. You
may be sure that when the hodja wakes
he makes good use of his lengthy
weapon. Some of the answers these
little Turks receive to their questions
would make an American child open
his eyes in amazement. A haif-grown
boy, in the presence OF a missionary,
who tells the story, asked the hodja:
What makes it rain" Up In the
Clouds" answered this wise teacher,
our prophet, Mohammed, and the one
who belongs to Christians, went into
business together, the profits to be d.

covered his loss, he pursued Mo

rumbling OF whose wheels makes the

he could not escape in midair, plunged
into the sea; the Christian god fol-
lowed him, and the shock splashed the
water out and it fell to the earth In

the teachings Of the hodja, grow up

Suppestlon to the Bench.

In suit for divorce, filed in Mary.
land court, the application was writ
ten in such a vein, covering a wide
field of insinuation which, under no
circumstances, could have been made
subject to investigation, that the pre-
siding judge ordered 1t thrown out,
and instructed the attorney to clothe
It in proper language. This was emil
nently correct, and should be followed
by all judges. Causes In court should
be stated with due solemnity and re-
gard for truth. The agency of the
court should not be selected through
which scandalous records. incapable OF
proof, should be placed upon record.
Many a person Is willing to pay the
bill for the privilege Of scandalizing
another, under protection Of court
rules. II clients and lawyers have
superabundance of wit. let them go to
the proper place and take the conse-
quences. If judges would refuse to al
low scandalous allegations to become
Of record, except as they are brought
out under cross-eXaminatioD and oath,
they would inaugurate wise reform.

Municipal ownership is one of
the evidences of this soriali>tir
spirit. The control and owner
ship 10y the people of all public
utilities is vigorous and prarti-
cal protest against individual own
crship. Some go to Il greater cX-
tcut than others in this regard, adj
vocatug government ownership of
railroads, tclcgraphs and t"Ie-
phones. while others coniine them
selves to the advocacy of munich
pal ownership of water and light
plants.
Another evidence of this social
iStic drift is shown in the enact
mcnt of laws which place III the
hands of the State the power to
say in what occupations the midi
vldual may engage. Already the
State has declared that only such
persons rs it selected could teach
in its school or practice law. More
lately it has asserted its right to
say whether or not its citizens
should practice medicine, trim hair
or cmbalm bodies. The next step
may be to have the State license
editors. horse shocrs and water
melon pickcrs. We do not say
that this is all wrong We simply
point out the direction in which
the political tide is flowing. 1t is
markedly away from individuals.

EQUAL TO OCCASION,
mattcr-of-Fact Conduct OF Girl Whose
Skirt Fell.

Ma,ter-of-Fact Conduct OF Girl Whose
Skirt Fell.
The young woman whose underskirt
fell off on Park Row on Thursday aft
ernoon acted in a manner that I'M
doubtedly saved her some embarrass-
ment, says the New York Sun. The
sidewalk was filled with people, and
as she hurried along toward the bridge
those who were behind her saw her
grab her outer skirt with either hand.
Trailing beneath the bottom Of it was
broad strip Of white skirt. Before
sAe had taken half dozen more steps
she tripped and nearly fell. 1t was evil
dent then that her underskirt had fall
en- down around her ankles. In a mat
ter-of-fact fashion, as II she had done
the same thing many times before in
crowded street, she stopped, shook
herself a bit and then stepped out OF
the skirt. Before any one except the
people very near her realized what had
happened she picked up the white
and proceeded to the bridge The ac-
cident was undoubtedly embarrassing,
but the girl gave no evidence of it.
Had she done as young woman did
In similar circumstances a year ago on
upper Broadway, and hurried away
leaving her skirt behind her, she would
have been followed by loud laughter.
Not more than a dozen persons saw
this incident on Thursday, and the
girls matter-of-fact way in dealing
with 1t dlsarmed them.

X-Ray Cure.

upon himself. Then he operated
on Il number of patients, several of
whom were cured after compare
lively brief treatment.
But it was not till he removed
all signs of cancer from the face of
Joseph Card Simpson, horseman
and turf rider, that DR.. Selfridgc
felt fully convinced of the healing
power of the mysterious light.
For over ten years Mr.. Simpson
has suffered from cancerOus
growth, the outcome of an encoun-

eminent eastern physicians without
success.
