RESTORED TO LIFE.
Experimen In Massaging Heart That
Had Ceased Pulsating.

Experimen In MASsasin& He"'' A""'
Had Ceased Pulsating.
DR.. Mag of Nasted. Denmark, re-
Gently made an experiment IN reVlVl'
flying a man apparently dead, whlen
has convinced him that it is possible
in favorable circumstances to restore
the dead to life by massaglng tho
heart, says the st. Louis Star. Inc
doctor was attending charity patient,
q laborer, who apparently died unuef
an operation from the effects OF G l''ro~
form. Artificial respiration and othei
methods of the usual REVIVE treat
ments we're tried, but all to no avail.
The other attending surgeons gave up
the case, and said when they did 81
that the man had been dead fifteen
minutes. DR.. Mag, however, declar-
ed that he would save the man. He
cut open the dead mans side and be-
gan to manipulate the heart. He t1mec
the squeezing of the organ by the beat
ing Of his own pulse so as to get &
natural rhythmic action, and soon be-
gan to feel the heart respond to tbs
treatment The other doctors begai
working at the artificial respiration
again, and in thirty-fve minutes the
dead man was breathing again ant
his heart was beating. His side was
sewn up and he put to bed, where he
ceased to breathe, and all attempts al
artificial respiration were poWerless to
start the lungs working once more
The heart, however, kept on beating
for eight hours, when it stopped, anc
the man was finally "allowed" to be
dead, even by DR.. Mag. In all this re-
viving process the patient did not re
gain consciousness, but the doctor be-
lieves that he nevertheless began ia
live again after the heart had been
started working by massage. Soms
people will say that the action of tho
heart was simply case of muscular
reflex, responding to irritation and
not real life. DR.. Mag, however, be-
lieves, that the reason the man died
second time was that his treatment
was largely impromptu, and that tic
proper conditions and instruments for
a thorough and scientific test were not
at hand.

Some time ago Superintendent
Cooley of the Chicago public
schools ventured to suggest that
there was such a thing as too much
glory in graduation day, when
glory taxed people who could i'll
afford it with tho outgo of sum for
dress and flowers which meant
real privation in various ways for
many families. This was such an
indirect way of hitting at our
boosted American freedom to do
as please "even If it busts the
bank" that the school board did
not take to it kindly at first, but
after prolonged discussion the
Chicago board of education adj

Their Present Condition Contrasted with
That Of = Century Ago.
The agricultural laborers of today
are certainly better clad, more luxu-
rlously fed, have far more leisure, are
better educated, and are rapidly be-
coming better housed than their fore
fathers a century ago. And if these are
the main constituents Of happiness,
then they are happier, comments cor
respondent in Nineteenth Century. On
the other hand, their grandfathers and
great grandfathers were much more
gay and light-hearted than the mod
ern; they enjoyed their lives much
more than their descendants do; they
had incomparably more laughter, more
amusement, more real delight in the
labor of their hands; there was more
love among them and less hate. The
agricultural laborer had bad drunk
en- time between 20 or 30 years ago,
and he has been growing out Of thai.
A village. sot is now a very rare bird,
as rare as he was 100 years ago. Then
the laborer could not afford drunken
debauch-he had not the wherew1thal.
His master, the farmer, did drink, and
sometimes deeply in the days when he
was prospering. And for few years
after the rise of the laborer's wages,
some rs years ago, the laborer was the
publican's friend. But hard drinking
has been steadily declining, and the
habitual drunkard is looked upon as a
coarse brute to be avoided. AS to other
vices, things are pretty much as they
we're; l am afraid rather worse than
better. Perhaps the saddest charac-
teristic of the men of the present, as
compared with the men of the past,
is that the men Of the past were GER
tainly more self-dependent-I do not
mean independent, in the sense in
which that word is used now-more re-
sourceful, more kindly, courteous, and
contented with their lot than their de-
scendants are.

MCLES AND WARTS.
Come Methods OF Removing Them Given

Come Methods OF Removing Them Given
Il. Moles and warts are unsightly dis
requirements which should be removed
ION their first appearance. The former
may be fiat or raised above the sur
face, with or without hair growth. In
color they vary from flesh color to
q dark brown. The popular idea that
It is dangerous to tamper with them is
scarcely substantiated by facts. but, no
doubt, accounts for the complacency
with which women tolerate these dis
Agreements. In reality, they are easily
and painlessly removed and leave very
little or no trace. The method employ
ed is about the same as for the remoV-
al of superfluous hair. II hair exists
in the mole it Is usually Of extremely
coarse growth and Of dark color. Be-
fore the removal of the mole is I'M
dertaken, the hairs must be destroyed
with the electric needle. In many
cases after this is done, the mole will
be found to be considerably diminished
sharp pointed needle Is made to trans
fix the mole at it's base at various
points until the excresence assumes a
puffed and pearly appearance. Wlth1D
a few hours this gives place to
brown crust, which gradually shrinks
and flattens until it dries up and fails
off. Sometimes one operation is SUI
f1cient to cause the final disappearance
of the mole or wart; at other times
several treatments are necessary, as
these growths vary greatly in texture.
For those living at distance from
cities where electric treatments may
be obtained, there are preparations
which remove these growths success
fully. Lunar caustic is often employ
ed for this purpose, but should be used
with caution else scar will be the
result. Muriatic acid or glacial acetic
acid applied to a mole or wart, occa-
sionally, will cause it to shrivel and
finally fall OF. Care should be used
not to touch the surrounding flesh.
A tiny white scar will sometimes be
left.

II true that the graduates of the
so-oalled grammar schools of old,

gard to the Importance of starting
early, "Let me advise you to make
an early start in life. The boy

Now that the season is ap-
proachiug in which potatoes sprout
in cellars where the light falls
upon them, it will be we'll to sound
a note Of warning against the eat
ing of tubers in that state. In
1892 and 1898 tire WAS a whole
sale poisoning of troops in the
German army. The symptoms
frontal headache, collie, d!arrhoea,
vomiting, weakness ank slight
stupor, accompanied in sowe cases
with dilatation of the pupils.
When che alarming matter Was
INVESTIGATED, it WAS found to be
due to the fact that potatoes whcch
were badly sprouted had been fed
to the men who wore affected.
The alkaloid solanine, which po-
tatoes contain, is poison when
present in large quantities. There
is little of it in new potatoes, IN
less they have been exposed to tho
sun while growing, but chemical
analysis of old potatoes which
have been kept iu q damp place
and have begun tb sprout has de-
veloped the fact that in that state
they contain twenty five times as
much solanine as when new.

Charles M. Schwab, the presi-

Charles M. Schwab, the presi-
dent of the United Steel Corpora
ton, delivered an address before
an evening trades school attended
by three hundred poor boys Of
New York, in which he dwelt
upon the necessity of making q
prompt start in life. In doing
this he Indirectly attacked the
policy of extending the high
school courses of the public
schools at the expense of the grad
ed schools, The policy Of trying
to give finish to the education Of
boys who are compelled by circum-
stances to leave the school as quick
ly as possible to earn a living is
like that of depending entirely
upon credentials. The certificates
and diplomas of sch DOL boards do
not pass at par any more thau the
letters of recommendations which
are considered 50 important by
many who go out into life seeking
a business opening. As to these
deluded people, and the advocates
of education who imagine that the
coun tersign ola superintendent
on ''sbeepskin" ie an open sesame
to success, Mr.. Schwab: says:
From my long experience I am
led to believethat many boys make
tho mistake of depending upon in
duence to obtain for them posi-
tions of profit. Go yourself to
seek work in life, and depend upon
your own exertions and merit.
Merit must count and merit must
win; The boy who depends upon
influence is handicapped from the
start" The last of the above re-
marks applies to the public school
pupils who are striving to COM
plete the prescribed course Of the
high school despite adverse fnan-
cial conditions, under the impress
sion that the diplomas they receive
will enable them to procure en-
ployment more quickly than if
they went out into the world arm

mencement day.
It was the general opinion that
fully fifty per cent of the pupils
who graduated from the high
schools of Chicago come from
homes whore the question of
"frills" for graduation day is q
real burden. 1t resolves itself
either into bereft pocket books or
bereft hearts. If the children go

standard of dress set by some vague
authority, representing more of

the parents suffer often. If the
parents are hard heart d and Solo,

plainly dressed and their feelings
Inundated by comparisons; for
there is no more cruel caste in
in some ways than the democratic
esprit lu corps of our graded
schools. Either wav. somebody
suffers. 1t usually ends in the
child getting what it wants, or,
rather, what some vague authority
of custom says it wants. For this
reason, if for no deeper ethical
one, the action of the Chicago
board of education will be ap-
proved by the majority of people.
It didn't go very far, but it puts
some consistency into the general
theory of public schools as insti-1
tutions for making life simpler
and more level for this every day

every school board in the country
would not only follow this plan,
but aim in every way to discourage

tions of public contention which

Strikes are in progress, and
other strikes are impending. 1t
is unfortunate that employers eau
not agree. Strikes are industrial
warfare, and warfare is an appeal
to strength, from which nom
combatatants often suffer nearly
if not quite as much as those di-
rectly engaged. There was time
when the right of workingmen to
strike was disputed, but that time
has gone by. It is now generally
conceded that the right of the la
borer to give or withhold his labor
is as inherent as the right of the
employer to say what he will pay
for that labor. There is another
right, however, that must not be
ignored by either Of the parties to
industrial warfare, and that is the
right of the community at large to
enjoy peace. In strikes which are
conducted in an orderly manner,
the sympathy Of the public is
often with the workingmen, and
society thus becomes a powerful
ally of labor. But when violence
is used to prevent other working
men who are satisfied with the
wages offered from taking places
which have been abandoned by
those who held them, the public's
sense Of justice is aroused on be-
half of those against whom that
violence is directed, and the labor
organization upon whom the re-
sponsibility for the violence rests
falls into disrepute.
Wise and fair minded labor
leaders recognize this fact, and use
their influence to discountenance
and suppress attempts at int!mlda-
ton.
