An illustration of the curious way
in which myths endure long after his
toric facts have been forgotten is
reported by the Chicago Daily News
correspondent at Madrid. The Span
iards of Andalusia, which is suffering
| from plague of tarantulas, have
employed guitar players to cure
the victims of tarantula bites.
That the ''tarantelle,'' the fer
ociously rapid dance which mod
ern musicians sometimes strum on
the piano, originated in the medi-
aeval belief that tarantula poison, or
tarantism, could be cured by music
and dancing is well enough known,
but it is surprising to find the ira
dition acted upon at this late day.
The tarantelle is truly survival Of
the middle ages. In almost every
other nation except Spain it eX-
lists only in a form of musical compo-
FSition. Whatever curative virtue
there may be in the violent exertion
and preparations induced by the
dance, the Spaniard still has faith,
as he had in the dark ages that it
is the music which does the curing.

COSTOF MEDICINES
THE ONLY EXPENSE FOR
SERVICES AT THE
Illinois X-Ray Infirmary
IN THE MITCHELL Il LYNDE
BUILDING.

The fame of the medical staff of
the Illinois y Ray Infirmary, with
DR.. J. Alvin Horne as president, is
positively unmatched in the state by
that of any other body of medical spe-
cialists. There is good reason for this
they cure the most desperate chronic
cases after they have been abandoned
by other physicians as incurable, and
their high professional reputation is
therefore merited.
These physicians treat n certain
class of diseases and confine their
practice to them alone.
They treat and cure all chronic, ner-
vous and organic diseases of both men
and women.
Their methods of diagnosis and
treatment are scientifically in adj
vance of all ordinary methods in med
icine and surgery. They are masters
of all pelvic Weaknesses and diseases,
as they affect the male and female,

Brains and Their Weight.

NJ. Marchand has investigated the
brains of LIB persons Immediately
after death. The weight of the brain
is influenced by the disease; diph-
liberia, for example, increases the
weight. The brains of newborn
boys weigh, on the average, 81
grams; of newborn girls, 361. At
the end of the first year, the figures
are. for boys, 967; girls, 500. BY the
end of the third year the weight of
the brain has tripled and from this
epoch it increases very slowly, es-
pecially with girls. 1t attains its
greatest weight at about 1872 years
for men and about II for women. The
average weight of the brain for an
adult male is 1.400 grams; of an
adult female, 1875 grams. The re-
duction of weight due to senile afro
ply commences with men about the
SOth year; with women about the
roth. We may recall for comparison
the following facts: The heaviest
brain on record is that of the novel
list, Tourgenieff (2,12O grams); one of
the lightest is that of Gambetta O,160
grams). The weight of the brain is,
thus, one factor, and only one, in
the comparison of different men and
different sexes.

Ex-Queen Natalie, of Servia, is soon
to enter convent, taking the veil,
after a spectacular career. She was
King Milan's wife, and is by birth a
Russian. She married the dissolute
monarch at Belgrade in 1875, being at
that time only 10. She was divorced
from him and expelled from Servia in
1888. The royal couple were recon-
ciled five years later. Queen Natalie
is the mother of Alexander, the pres
ent king of Servia, who came to the
throne in consequence of his fathers
abdication. Since the death of King
Milan his queen has made her home
at Biarritz, on the Rivera. Arch
duchess Marie Annonciade, of Aus
tria, intends to enter convent at
Prague.

AnnIinois Democrat.

St. Louis World: Among the many
creditable nominations by the recent
democratic convention at Springfield,
H., we note particularly that of our
old friend of many years standing
the Hon. Jack Baker, of Moultrie
county-for the office of clerk of the
appellate court.
For twenty years or more Jack
Baker has been a prominent factor
in the democratic politics of that
state. His nomination for that i'm
portant and lucrative office is moth
ing more than a just recognition to
loyal partisanship, unselfishly per-
formed in furtherance of the public
veal.
He is of the younger element of in
trepid democrats that characterize
the fighting democracy of that great
state, preferring at all times a right
eous minority to a hellish majority.
Our commentator can add nothing
to his standing in the state of his
birth. He is too well known and his
present commission but emphasizes
the deserving recognition of those
rare qualities of lofty manhood that
creates its own following and wins
victories on every field of honest en-
deavor.
He has served his district in three
sessions of the general assembly of
Illinois, and for many years was con-
tinuously member of the democrat
ic state committee-always in har-
ness with the motto up and at 'em,
boys!" glittering on his helmet when
he has been called to lead in the po-
litical battles of his state.
He is one of those combination men
that has much to do. He is versatile
in most everything.
He gets busy.
He is an educated lawyer. farmer
and manufacturer. He sympathizes
with labor and manifests his feeling
on all proper occasions.
He loves fairness, hates sycophants
and despises fawning hypocrites.
He should be elected on his merits.
If not elected it will be no fault of
his own, for he is one of those un-
firing workers that cannot rest when
there is a party campaign pending.
A party that will give its standards
into the hands of such leaders de-
serves manifestation of the graft
tude of all the people.
A long and intimate personal and
political acquaintance with the sub
iect of this character sketch justi-
fies the writer in presenting this
tribute without aiming at fulsome
praise.
He is simply praiseworthy and it is
gratifying to have an opportunity of
cOngratulating the people of central
Illinois that they are afforded an oc-
casion of voting for such an ''up and
up man of all the people.
