He spoke surprising word which, ut

Salt as a Cure for Pneumonia.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
The great value of salt as an antiseptic
and the fact that nature appears to have
made 1t an essential ingredient in the food
of nearly all animals have made the medi-
cal profession very hospitable toward new
theories or discoveries regarding it's thera-
peutic qualities. The doctors, in fact, are
never unprepared for the announcement OF
some extraordinary cure effected by the
use Of this widely distributed compound.
That pneumonia can be cured by pumping
an s per cent sodium chloride solution at
temperatures ranging from 40 to 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit into the lungs, however,
naturally taxes the credulity of most ply
sicians This achievement was announced
by DR.. w. Byron Coakley OF this city in a
paper read by him before the American
Medical Association at the recent conyen-
ton at Saratoga. That such a saline solu-
ton would be death to all bacteria and
would also have an antiseptic effect upon
diseased tissue will be readily conceded. 1t
Is question of getting the solution into the
lungs in such way that the patient could
stand the treatment.

CHAPTER vi.
Open-eye Conspiracy
His time doth take.

There was hustle In the palace a going
to and fro of mounted men, messengers
from remote places, lights carried from
room to room, whispered tidings of events
momentous. So unwonted were the stir
and curiosity that my lady and her archers
rode in unmolested; and, finding a page who
listened readily to SO pretty an intruder,
word was carried swiftly to the chancellor,
who was then with the queen, and so to
her majesty.
1.-THE wife Of Roy the Outlaw seeks audi
ence of her majesty upon matter Of ur-
gency."
Now, that was the second time which the
chancellor had heard the word Of urgency
that day, and the omen plagued his curl
osity.
Comes she to threaten us, toor' he
asked, jestingfy, Of the page who carried
the tidings. NAY, we shall wear a coat Of
mail presently, lest urgency go faster than

But the queen said in her wisdom:

the man hath a secret the woman shall
tell It,"
She gave the command. and the Lady
Barbara, passing through the ante rooms
where wits exclaimed upon her, and the
women stared, and gallants recounted her
history, she came at length to Mary's pres
ence. and kneeling there, vision beautiful
Of the night, she pleaded for her lover.

The news which the messenger had car

riding out to warn their friends others
making haste to inform the constable and
those that kept the tower. Momentous as

surprise than authority might have desired
The Spanish marriage, the gathering plots
against the Protestants, the spirit of dis
content which the new laws fermented had
taught men to await some counter stroke
that would answer for their liberties. And
now, when the day had come, when the
storm burst, and it behooved each man to
think of his own security, few were brave
enough to declare themselves or TO avow
a loyalty which none might question These

Writers, Be Brief,

From the New York Tribune.
An English journalist, discoursing on
Wagner's music dramas and their prepos-
ferrous, even inhuman. length, makes some
remarks which authors as well as compos-
ers might take to heart. when Wagner
made the first act of Die MeistersinEer'
alone last two hours, he clearly proved that
in one important respect he did not know
his business. 1t is idle to answer that
Wagner had much to say and could not say
it in fewer minutes; 1t should have been
part of his craft to say II in fewer min
utes.' Precisely, and our modern author
would do well TO remember that IL is part
of his craft, especially when he is writing
fiction, to cut to the bone. When the three
decker went out of fashion readers heaved
a sigh of relief, for under the new regime
the novelist, saying what he had to say in
single volume proved. on the whole
much better company than in the old days.
We do not forget that the masters have
covered some pretty extensive canvases,
but, as regards novels today, we are not
talking about masters. What We complain
of is that the veriest dabster thinks MOTH
ing of spinning his story along until it filS

American Bridge Building.
from the Century.

FIUW Tue century.
All existing railroad spans of more than
zee feet have been built since $780, and
probably more In America than in all the
rest of the world together and certainly
these are much better and cheaper and
have been more rapidly and safely con-
structed than those of any other country
In a word, American engineers have built
most of the greatest and most difficult
bridges in the world, and in less than half
century. largely within the last quarter
century, have developed the art of bridge
building to a perfection that no other sort
Of construction has reached in hundreds of
years. They have brought it to practical
limits that cannot be greatly extended until
some radically new material is provided
that is notably stronger, cheaper or lighter
than steel. This is the triumph of the pro-
fession of bridge engineering

stars whose signs and wonders might
yet hang him at the city's gates. No
sooner were the queens men out Of hear

the doors and entreated my Lady Bar

His words fell on deaf ears, for my lady
did not so much as listen to him. Brought
to silence In this peril, which had been
so swift to come. and fearing greatly for
her husbands safety, the daughter of Ber-

them witness that he was a true son of

for the abbot and less for holy church

Shot Down Danish Flag.
From the New York Press.


In view of the purchase of the Danish
West Indies, pardon me for recalling an IN
cident Of twenty-odd years ago that nearly
caused serious international complications.
An American marksman, paying a visit to
Charlotte Amalia, amused the governor by
an exhibition Of skill with the rifle. Sitting
on the veranda of the government house,
he said he could cut with a bullet the sig
nal halyards on the flagstaff of the foct,
and lower the Danish standard to the
ground. AS the lines were almost invisible
in the distance, the governor was willing
to bet that he could not do it. The shot
rang out and the flag fell.
Presently horseman dashed up, inform
ing the governor that some one had fired
on the flag. There was great excitement
The governor, none too popular, it seems
with the military, ruined his political fu-
ture by admitting that the affair was 4
joke in which he connived. Report being
sent to Copenhagen, highly colored of
course, by the commandant, his excellency
was summarily removed.

night. For thirty hours we have ridden
without dra wing Ioin to do your majesty
service; and thus 1t is is requited. How
shall we speak, then, of your peril, and of
that which is contrived against you? Let
the queen ask If 1t is good counsel which
turns deaf ear to those who would be-
friend her. Nay, your majesty, all Eng
land hath not more faithful heart nor one
more ready than he your ministers have
silenced. Will you not hear me for the love
he bears you?"
There were tears in her eyes when she
uttered the name of Roy of Calverton; but
Queen Mary who remembered little but
that she was Of the new faith, answered her
coldly:
You are Barbasa 81 o1lerton, who teach
sedition to my pesples in the north. Hath
sedition, then, turned upon its masters that
you confess these&hngs?"
Nay, your mai et8 sedition and my hus-
bands name wen ever strangers. l be-
seech you prove him that the truth may be
known ere the hour for truth is passed by"
1t was a plea of her love and confidence
uttered so winningly that even the queen
was half won by it.

Secretary Moody In Success.
Every man should read one good news
paper each day. 1 do rot mean, of course,
that he should read everything in it; but he
should go over the entire contents, care
fully making his selections and reading at
tentiveiy the articles which give promise of
being helpful or instructive. The weekly,
and, more particularly, the monthly re-
views are also of great value from the
fact that they familiarize their readers with
current history-which, after all, is the
most important history-while at the same
time possessing some advantages over the
daily newspapers, because the editors are
hot compelled to accept first reports, and
also have opportunity to correct any mac
curacies which may creep into hurriedly
prepared discussions of subjects. Never
theless, these reviews must ever but sup
plement the daily newspapers, for we are
not content, in this age, to wait until the
end of the month for our news.

Tests to Discover Control of Limbs and
Muscles.
From the London Leader.

From the London Leader.
Eminent surgeons have long endeayored

control the various muscles and limbs of
the body, with view to ascertaining there
from new ways of treating diseases of the
nervous system. Sufferers from such COM
plants, especially such as cause interrun-
ton of the muscular action, may have
reason to bless the memory of certain great
apes, who have co-operated unselfishIv
with, and without being consulted by, some
British scientists and surgeons in a series
Of privately conducted experiments to DEM
onstrate new facts about the brain.
Though the scientific partnership was IA
tai to the apes, they lived admired and
died universally respected, and their pho
tographs will be handed down in medical
history. Studies of the brains of the
higher apes have shown that their compo-
sition was sufficiently like that Of man to
justify the belief that investigations made
on these brutes would furnish knowledge
about the human brain. To understand the
experiments thoroughly, it is well to re-
member that the brain may be roughly di-
