KILLING TO CURE PATIENT.

The Old-Time Method Of Bleeding Peo
pie to Death.
All kinds of cures for rheumatism,
from baking to vibration, are now be-
ing exploited. This disease, Judging
from the amount of space devoted to it
In the public prints. is getting to be
more and more a common complaint.
Tip" seems to fairly revel in new
and wierd cures for the afiliction, and
the patent medicine advertisements
set forth a tempting list of remedies.
PROBABLY the reason that people with
rheumatism did not talk so much
about it in the old days was for fear
the doctor would be called in. One
has only to look over an old medical
book to realize that visit from doc
tor hundred years a go was no joke
Here is book on "The Practice Of
Physic." printed in Edinburgh in 1854
"a hundred and seventeen years ago.
1t is written by the foremost doctor of
MS time, William Cullen, professor in
the University Of Edinburgh, First
Physician to His Majesty in Scotland"
and member of all the learned sOcie-
ties. In it's day "Cullen's First Lines"
was the greatest medical text book in
the English language. Now this is
what DR.. Cullen would have done to
Tip or any other seeker after cure
for rheumatism. The learned doctor
says: The cure requires in the first
place an antiphlogistic inflammation
checking) regime, and particularly a
total abstinence from animal food and
from all fermented or spirituous
liquors; substituting a vegetable or
milk diet. Blood-letting is the chief
remedy in acute rheumatism. The
blood ought to be drawn in large guam
THY and the bleeding to be repeated in
proportion to the frequency, fullness
ana hardness of the pulse and the VIC
fence of the pain. For the most part
large and repeated bleedings during
the hrst days of the disease seem to be
necessary. In addition to these gen.
eral bleedings the doctor recommends
local ,bleedings wherever there appears
any swelling or redness. New York

HYGIENIC BATHING.
Public Swimming Pool Dangerous to

Public Swimming Pool Dangerous te
Public Health.
The dangers of the public swimming
pool should not be forgotten by those
suddenly interested in the subject OF
cleanliness among the poor Of the
cities. The proper methods of bath
ing are four: Cd BY the bath in
ocean water at the seashore. For only
a very few of the entire people, and
Tor but one-fourth of the year is this
possible. Such bathing, like many
other kinds of bathing, is not for
cleansing the body. (2) By the bath

people is impossible to provide if the
water shall be pure, and it is impos-
slble to keep the water pure when it
is provided. We leave out of the count
the not-to-be-sneered-at fact that un-
less the bathing is done unclothed,
soap and cleanliness are not thought
OF, and, even at best, modesty, that
hardly-won virtue, is not encouraged
IN public bathing. The only incontest-
able fact is that the public swimming

6,522 Enclosures reporting asses, with q
total number of 12,s7o These figures
show how the great proportion OF
horses and mules are bred on farms,
as the work horses constitute 9S per
cent. and the work mules 96 per cent.
of those reported In this bulletin.
Combining the horses. mules and
asses, we find that there are in our
cities and towns total OF 3,00S, 1862, of
which 2.933,429 are horses and mules
of ages suitable for work. This is ex-
elusive of the same animals on farms
or ranges, which were estimated Janu-
ary /, 1900, as 13,537,524 horses and o.
oS6,027 mules. Combining the animals
on the farms and those in cities, towns
and elsewhere, it is seen that the
horses, mules and asses in the United
states must number at the present
time nearly, If not quite, 100000
The foregoing numbers stand in
marked contrast with those for the
same animals in the countries of west
ern Europe. In Germany, according to
a livestock census taken in 1897, the
horses numbered 4,o3s,4s5 In France.
according to the Annuaire Statisdue
la France, 1899 the horses numbered
2,s99.131, the mules 205,7i5 and asses
361,414. In Great Britain, according to
the livestock reports returned for the
year 1898, the horses for all purposes
numbered 2,04O,3 and in Austria, ac-
cording to the Oesterreichische Statis-
tik Handbuch, 1898, the horses for all
purposes numbered 1,54s,197, and the
mules, asses and mule asses 57,952. 1t
should be noted in this connection that
the figures for Austria did not include
the animals of Hungary.
According to the foregoing figures
it can be seen that the. horses and
mules in American cities and town. ex-
elusive of those on farms, number
three-fourths of all found on German
farms; they are nearly as many as all
found on French farms; fifty per cent.
more than are found on British farms,
and over twice as many as all similar
animals in Austria Including the
horses and mules on farms, as well
as those outside OF the same. it can be
seen that the United tSates is utiliz-
ing for work purposes from four to
ten times as many animals as is done
by the leading competitive nations Of
western Europe. A moments consid-
GRAFTON of these facts will explain why
| Great Britain has been compelled to
buy horses and mules in the United
States for military purposes in South
Africa, and why Germany and other
nations have sent to this country for
war animals for use in Asia. The con-
hict of the Beers and the English has
demonstrated the superiority of a mo-
I bile army, and thus the value of the
| horse and mule in modern warfare.
! one man with a horse Is now the equal
of from three to five similar men on
| foot. In future wars, the nations with
| the best supply of horses and mules
will have n great advantage. 1t can
be overcome only by vast superiority
in numbers, equipment and generals
| ship, as can be seen in the South
African struggle of the present year.
| In any conflict that can arise between
the United States and the nations of
western Europe, the American horses
and mules will therefore be to this
country a most important factor in its
| favor.

nese negotiations from Pc
kin to Washington and the consequent
withdrawal of this governments sug-
gestion should not, says the New York
Tribune, be regarded as indicative of
i'll will among the nations. 1t was en-
tirely proper for the United States to
make the suggestion, and there is rea-
son to believe the suggestion was in
line with precedent, with logic and
with the interests of peace and justice.
Nevertheless, every other Power was
entitled to it's own view Of the matter.
and was as free to decline as the
United States was to make the pro-
pcsal.
1t is well, however to have the cir
cumstances OF the case correctly under
stood. The Paris correspondent of the
Associated Press gives three reasons,
which are said to prevail in European
chancelleries, against the transfer. The
first is that the negotiations can be
conducted in China better rhan else.
where, because all essential informa-
lion is there close at hand. That Is q
matter of opinion with which there
can be no quarrel. The proximity Of
sources of information to Pekin Is in
disputable, though 1t may we'll be con-
sidered whether other circumstances do
not outweigh that. The second reason
is of different nature. 1t is to the
effect that the United States COM
merce with China is small in compari-
son with that of several other states
and therefore this country is not en-
titled to have the negotiations con-
Quoted at Washington. That is a mat
ter not of opinion but of fact, and the
reason cited must be set down as Civ
ing an intimation contrary to the facts.
The statement concerning the COM
. parative importance OF American COM
merce with China, while perhaps nor
literally untrue, conveys totally er-
roneous impression. 1t is true that
two other countries have a greater
trade with China than the United
States has. They are the British en-
pire and Japan. But it does not an.
pear that they are the Powers which
object on that ground to the transfer
OF negotiations. AS for the intimation
that any country of Continental Eu-
rope is as much interested In Chinese
commerce as the United States, il Is
far from the truth. Not one of those
countries comes anywhere near 20
rivalling this country In Chinese COM
merce. Russia falls least far behind
US. But our trade with China exceeds
Russia's by about 80 per cent, and
there is no other country OF Continen-
tai Europe that has more than half as
great trade as we. In fact, our trade
with China is nearly as great as those
OF France, Germany, Austria Hungary
Spain, Portugal and Italy all pui
together. That second reason. there.
fore, for declining the proposed trans
fer Is utterly to be repudiated.
The third and final reason is well
described as the most delicate of all
and we should be glad to believe I,

SaXinS the Forests.

4 MOTHER large game pre-
~ serve has been located in
Il n Pike county, where num-
Der of Philadelphia sports
men have purchased FIVE thousand
acres of land. They intend TO make
1t one of the finest game preserves
in the world. The land already has an
abundance of game and great natural
facilities for hunting and fishing. This
will be supplemented by large num-
Der of deer, for which tract of two
thousand acres is being enclosed with
a wire fence, ten feet in height. An
other tract will be for wild boars.
Nine of these have been imported, but
lightning and the ocean voyage killed
seven of them. More will be imported
however. and the sport of the Father
land will be instituted regardless of
cost. Hares and other small game
will be added, and the stock will be
replenished by importations from
Germany and other countries. Fish,
such as pike, pickcrel and trout, are
found in abundance in the streams
which flow through the property
There is no question that enterprises
of this nature are among the most
commendable that can be adopted by
pleasure seekers. Any scheme that
leads to the preservation of American
forests from the lumberman and avar-
icious tiller of the soil is tc be ad-
mired. even though the motive that
prompts the move may to a certain
extent be selfish. No amount of per-
suasion or prophecy can generally de-
ter an agriculturist from hacking and
burning tracts of woodland. when the
spirit moves him. The fact that he
or his neighbors are at certain sea-
sons of the year obliged to drive stock
for miles to obtain water, is no argu-
ment in favor of the preservation of
forests. The course of men of means,
therefore, in purchasing and preserv-
ing immense plots of land covered
with virgin forests, is to be approved
by all who have the welfare of future
generations at heart.

4 city in furnishing means of
transit calculated to take
away to a certain extent the occupation
of the noblest of the quadrupeds, the
value of the horse seems to increase
rather than diminish as the march of
time continues. Though the street car
and stage line no longer depend upon
equine motive power, the demand for
horses and mules has steadily in
creased, undoubtedly upon account of
the conflicts of nations where horses
and mules have been most useful in
affording means of transportation for
army supplies. The Importance of the
horse raising industry in the United
States is demonstrated in the portion
of the census report issued by Chief
Statistician Powers, in charge Of agri-
culture.
The general classification of horses
asked for by the National Live Stock
association was adopted by the census
and Is now in use in the bulletin al
ready issued. 1t will also be employed
in all later publications of the Office
relating to live stock in the country
In this new classification horses are
grouped under three heads: % Colts,
including all less than years; (2) colts
over l and under 2 years: go horses
over years. A similar classification
is adopted for mules. Asses being few
in number are reported as in preceding
censuses, under one head. OF these an
imais not on farms or ranges the CEN
sus of 1900 makes the following report:
There were 1866 ,6S6 Enclosures report
ing horses, and these contained 2s,9l9
colts under year, 26,46l and under Q
years, 2,777,497 horses 2 years and over.
There were 61.SOS Enclosures reporting
mules, with total number OF 162,115.
OF these 2,4l0 were colts under year,
3,773 and under years and 155, 932
mules years and over. There We're
