The DISCOVERIES of Quinine.
from the New York Tribune


# suppose there is no medicine SO freely
used and which works, upon the whole, so
much good as quinine," said DR.. Albert
French Of Pittsburg yesterday. ut is used
for as many different ailments as the word
has pronunciatons," continued the doc
tor, but 1 suppose few people know who
discovered this great remedy and brought
1t to the attention Of the medical world.
The public is thoughtless and grasps the
medicine with never a thought as to whom
they are indebted for It's discovery. Some
time ago, when I was in Paris, attending
the international congress of pharmacy, 1
saw a statue unveiled to Bertrand Pelletier
and ]. R. Caventon, renowned as pharma-
ceutical chemists. Caventon was born in
1875, and studied at the Paris School Of
Antoine Hospital he met Pelletier, and they
collaborated in their work. Two years
after discovering bruclne and strychnIne
they were able to announce quinine, and
with rare disinterestedness they made lheir
work public by presenting an account to
the Paris Academy on September II. 1870.
In their memoir they stated that they had
nine from both red and yellow cincho Ia
bark, and described the therapeutic prop
critics Of these substances. In 1927 the
Montyou prize Of the academy was awarded
to them in honor of their valuable dis
covery, and now monument representing
the two investigators stands to remind. OBJ
servers Of their joint contribution to SCI
ence and humanity. There-you publish a
newspaper" said DR.. French. and I will
wager that is news to nearly every one
that reads it, unless 1t Is physician or
student along this peculiar line Of study"

Prof S H Bradley of Emory College
passed through the city yesterday, return
ing from Blakely, where he had been SPEND
Ing the holidays with gun and dog. He
says he had excellent sport, although the
game was not so plentiful.
Prof Bradley had in his possession
most interesting relic, being section from
a flag pole that was raised during the civil
war and which still stands on the court
house square in Bakely. 1t Is said to be
the only confederate flag pole that is stand
ing in the south. The pole was originally
100 feet high but since the war has rotted
off twice next to the ground and has had
to be cut off and replanted. and is now
only ninety feet high. 1t was section of
one of these cut-offs that Prof Bradley had
secured.
He says the people of Blakely have the
greatest reverence for that flag pole and
keep it nicely painted and guarded. and
should any man dare lay irreverent hands
on it they would quickly teach him les
son in southern ethics.
Some years after the war a company OF
federal troops We're stationed at Blakely
and several times they threatened to take
the flag pole down, but certain whispers
were sent to the commander that he would
do we'll to protect that flag pole, and he,
being a man of understanding, took good
care that no malicious hands were laid
upon it.

The Little Girls aud the Sentry.

correspondents OF the LONDON Cnfonlcle.-
From Koomati Poort drove to Barber

it in two days. The whole country, cool
after the rains, was green with the prom
Use of spring. Little rivulets trickled where
before had been dry sand. a parched arid
desert had become flower garden.
In the course of an evening saunter
came across three little mites, hand in
hand standing fearfuly some ten to twenty
PAGES from a picket. This sentry, a stall
wart cavalryman. paced his beat smartly,
and looked imposing. even in khaki. The
eldest of the children was a girl, perhaps
six years old; the other two chung to each

little figures moved timidly forward. The
sentry had overheard the conversation, and
his eye twinkled grimly. Halt! who goes

childish treble, please. I'm little English

PrickIy Pear a Nuisance.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
One of the most serious difficulties in the
way of land settlement in some parts or
Australia is said to be an obnoxious plant
called the prickly pear. AS a pest to farm
ers it may be fairly classed with the rab-
bits. 1t has taken possession of whole
tracts Of country and the settler has TO
fight a pitched battle for every acre he
calls his own. A single fruit brings forth
thirty, sixty and even several hundred fold
Of good productive seed. All heritage may
droop die and disappear in the oven OF an
Australian drouth, but the pear survives,
flourishes and carries on its processes OF
expansion and reproduction with unconcern.
In the fierce struggle for life" when
drouth is devastating the land this pest is
living example of the survival of the "un-
fittest." 1t was brought to Australia, like
the rabbit either for use or ornament. and
1t has become plague and a pestilence. Its
determination in the colony of Queensland,
at least, is question of national import

A Man With Two Brains.

A man with two brains is surely a nov
city, yet DR.. Charcot, the French specialist,
inclines to the idea that Mandi, the light
ming calculator and human photograph, is
so blessed. This phenomenon made his first
appearance at the Paris hippodrome. and
he is certainly a new attraction to the al
ready big list of stars at that house. His
memory for figures is mainly auditive. One
of his feats Is the addition of six lines of
six figures, a multiplication Of six figures by
six figures, the division Of six figures by
five figures and the extraction of the square
and cube root Of five figures all at once

1t was later discovered that the line agreed
upon by both sides allowed the insurgents
to occupy part of Manila
The tenth demand made by the insur-
gents at this conference was as follows:

be certain Ito affirm that our own commits

edgment on our part of North American

After this conference was over Mani1a

soldiers of the three armies sitting in cafes
together.
Insurgents Elected From Cayite
The third serious trouble with the
insurgents took place in Cavite in
August, 1898. Private Hudson, Utah
Artillery, was killed by a detachment
Of insurgents acting under orders from an
officer. Private Hudson and companion
were under the influence of liquor, and the
insurgents testified that they were yelling
and shooting their pistols right and left
To smoothe 1t over they placed the blame
on a private, who they claimed had fired
without orders, and they sentenced him to
be shot at sunrise the following morning
General Anderson Immediately protested
against this action, as 1t was proven that
the man was in front of Private Hudson
whereas the fatal shot was fired by some
person in the rear. The outcome of 1t was
that no person was punished for this MUIR
der, but 1t resulted in the election Of the
insurgents from Cavite. They left hos

George Schaub, a well known German citizen of Lebanon, Ohio. is a constant reader of the Dayton VolkZeitung. He knows that his paper aims to advertise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm ad- vertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suf- fered the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me I feel as though born anew and before using the entire contents of the bottle the un- bearable pains had entirely vanished and she could again take Up her house. hold duties" He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery This valuable liniment is for sale by Elvey & Hulett.

NAPOLEON III AND HORSE MEAT.

M. Decroix, the founder of the French Anti-Tobacco league, who has juet died suddenly though at the ripe old age of so, was man of many an- ecdotes. Most of them bore on the difficulties which beSet the path of the reformer who, when he is not treated with contumely, is woefully misunder- stood. Under the second empire, and before he began his campaign against tobacco, M Decroix in whom the mis-
 sionary spirit was lndeed strong, started a crusade in favor of eating horsetlesh. Hia ideas, in spite Of the untiring energy with which he promul- gated them, seemed to make little or no headway. In his despair at his scant success he decided to appeal to Napoleon III in person. He addressed 0 long report to the emperor, setting forth in detail the undreamed-of ad- vantages of horse meat diet, and humbly requesting the sovereign to give the matter his attention and to intervene in favor of ideas which would rebound to the well being of his sub jects. He recalled how Louis XVI had established the reputation of the long despised potato by wearing it's flower in his buttonhole; a word of approba- ton from his majesty might dispel the prejudice against the horse. M. De- croiX was veterinary surgeon in the army at the time. and a very few days after the dispatch of his report he was summoned to appear before Mar Shal Valiant, the master of the i'm perial household. He found the mar shal beside himself With rage and in- dignation. "So you, sir" he roared as DecroiX entered his room. "are the person who proposes that the emperor should eat horse neat, You must be out of your senses. The emperor eat horse meat" The marshal was at loss for further words in which to ex- press his stupefactiUn, and he motioned Deeroix out of his prerence with a ges- ture which indicated he might be thankful he had escaped being placed under arrest for a grave breach Of dis cipline.-Pall Mall Gazette.

FOUR BEARS AT A SHOT.

About seven years ago Mr. Wlthee was presented with two fine hounds, and wishing to try their training and their grit he took them out to do a little bear hunting
 The first morning Withee let the dogs out for a run while he was getting the breakfaHt, expecting them to be back in a short time. When breakfast was over the dogs had not returned, 90 taking his gun MT Withee started out in the direction they had taken. After travelling about a mile the faint bark ing of dogs could be heard and 1t was then plain why the dogs had not re- turned. They had scented game and were in pursuit The sound of tho barking led him far up the side of a mountain and soon he came in sight of the dogs standing around the up- turned rOoto of tree.
 MT. Withee crept up cautiously until within about fifteen feet of a cave that was near by, and then a black, shaggy head could be sen just above the roots. Taking good aim he fired his A caliber and awaited results After several minutes he went up to the cave, and what nc saw there gave him a shock from which he has never recov- cred. Two bears lay dead and two more were so stunned that a few quick passes with a knife settled them.
 For the four Eears Mir. Withee re- ceived $20 bounty, s275O for their hides and $42 for the bear oil, making sS950 for one days hunt.-Maine Woods.
