The Rooz Case.

"The present officers of the military
academy" says the Army and Navy
Journal, may exclaim in the language
of scripture: The fathers have eaten
sour grapes and the children's teeth
are set on edge They are held re.
sponsible by public opinion for sins
they did not commit and for practices
which they are making an earnest and
very successful effort to correct. The
case of Cadet Booz is in every respect
a most unfortunate one. That he was
hazed in the usual fashion while at the
academy appears to be admitted. 1t
is beyond question that he did die two
years later, but it has been clearly
shown that the events were not re-
lated to each other as cause and eff
feet"

FALLACY OF BoILs.
Few Skin Diseases Contagious, Says
an Authority.

Few Skin Diseases Contagious, Says
an Authority.
1T is an mistaken article Of belief
with most people that skin diseases
are almost always catching; that they
show that the sufferers themselves or
their parents are no better than they
should be; that they indicate that the
blood is bad that you must be careful
or you will drive it in and the
patient will die, if nothing more, and
that boil is worth five dollars in
doctors bills saved. They are all
wrong, tectotally wrong, on the very
best medical authority. Not more
than two or three of the hundred or so
skin diseases catalogued are catching
and the chances are that the eruption
is as innocent and as innocuous as a
cold. If there is such a thing as bad
blood medicine has not found it out.
Next to nothing is known in regard to
the condition of blood in disease.
Chemical and micr0scopical study
has utterly failed to show that there
is any difference between the blood in
health and the blood in cutaneous dis
orders. Certain of them are sympto-
matte OF nervous breakdown, and i'm
perfect digestion causes others.
Tomatoes, bananas, strawberries,
shel1fsh and other articles of diet,
harmless to most of us, cause rash
to break out on others. Evidently the
medical profession does not fear
driving the disease in for the treat
ment for cutaEeous affections is now
wholly local A boil is an acute in
fiammation of the tissues surrounding
the hair-follicle by germ, generally
the staphylococcus pyagenes aureus.
| thought you might like to know the
name Boils come upon the just and
the unjust, on those who have good
blood and those who have bad blood.
What forms inside the tormenting
thing it not the strained-out impurities
of the blood, for pus does not exist in
the blood. 1t is of local formation. a
boil is not worth five cents, let alone
five dollars. It is just what your IN
tutored imagination says it is, a con
founded nuisance. If anybody owed
me five dollars and could either pay
it in cash or boils, whichever pre-
ferred, I should take the cash every
time, even at a discount. I think l
should get more comfort that way"
Harvey Sutherland in Ainselee's.

"The financial stress prevailing in

has been a petitioner in the money

each was successful in placing millions
of government bonds among the large
financiers and moneyed institutions of
the country. Today it is currently re
