Lis!lt as a HeaIinn AGENT.

In view of the growing importance
Of the application of light as a heal.
Ing principle In medical science the
medical congress which recently con.
vened at Wiesbaden invited Prof. Bic
Of Copenhagen to read a paper on the
subject. The lecturer explained the
principle of employing light for heal.
ing purposes after excluding its chem
ical effects. The results obtained by
this method in cases Of smallpox, &C.
cording to the lecturer, are such that
the question is raised whether the
light treatment shall not be made
compulsory. Prof. Bic approves the
apparatus invented by DR.. Finsen Of
Copenhagen, with which the latter has
achieved such remarkable success In
cases of lupus, but urges that no one
but qualified doctors should be allowed
to apply the light treatment, as dis.
turbances r apt to occur which rem
der it necessary to break it of sud

without stopping the train.
The model showed a circular track.
Tho last carriage on the train was
slipped as each station was passed,
and passengers wishing to alight at
the next station would proceed to the
last carriage, tne train being Of course
continuous on the American plan, SO
that access could be had right
through. Then the slipped carriage
had deposited its passengers and TAX
en- up a fresh load, it would be started
and the next train would be allowed
gradually to catch 1t up. It would
then form part Of the new train until,
having passed a sufficient number nf
stations, it came to be the last car.
riage again, when it would be once
more slipped. OF course the cars
Y ould be electrically driven, and the
author exhibited a model showing
how by an electrical device 1t could

A Hint 10 Fathera.

A German resident of TacoDy en-
tered a grocer's store the other even
ing and bought five pounds of coffee
and four quarts of dried beans. AS
the grocer was about to tie up these
two parcels the man said: you might
just mix them, please" "What?" ex-
claimed the grocer. Mix them; mix
the bean and coffee together" the
German explained. The grocer &C.
cordingly followed that odd command.
but as he handed over to his patron
the mixture he could rot refrain from
asking for the motive. Motive? Oh,
not so much of a motive" said the
customer. "The children at home
bother me a good deal with their noise
and I'll make them separate the beans
from the coffee. That will keep them
busy sand quiet for a while. "-Phila-

Starvation for Paralysis.

One of the latest converts to the
fasting cure is Mrs. Gertrude Young.
About two years ago Mrs. Young had
a stroke of paralysis, which has left
her side somewhat helpless. She can,
however. walk up and down two
fights of stairs. She is under the
care off fasting doctor, or what some
would call a starvation" doctor, and
has started on a long fast. The doc
tor has convinced her that she will re-
cover completely if she will fast as
long as possible, say as long as 20
days, then eat just a little and take
another fast. Mrs. Young is very
hopeful.-Minneapolis Tribune.

In Praise of Checkers.

AS a mathematical game checkers
ranks higher than chess, as it requires
greater exactness. The game is sew.
eral hundred years old, and is a pro.
duct of the English speaking world
almost exclusively. Edgar A Poe, our
talented poet, said of checkers: "The
transformations game of checkers is
superior. to all the elaborate friyolity
of chess" :.
There are more than three dozen
text books on the game, and there
are several scores of regular weekly
and monthly publications treating of
new discoveries and developments.
The Mitchell Library, of Glasgow,
Scotland, recently spent several hun,
bred dollars for checker books for
general circulation. The colleges in
Great Britain and the United States
have recently taken up the game as a
mental recreation, and the houses of
Parliament have a room and club ex-
clusively devoted to it, equipped with
text books and current publications.
The game is recognized as an exact
science, and the greatest of its class
eyer invented. It Is no uncommon
thing in New England, old England,
Australia or Scotland for checker
tournaments to be held when there
are from se~venty-fve to 100 players,
and recently in London there was a
match between two. clubs in which
there were over eighty checker
boards used-16o players.

DlsTASTEFUL FOOD.
Experiments on a Dog Seem to Show
That 1t Is UnWhoiesome.

Some remarkable experiments to
show the comparative d~igestibility of
different foods have recently been con-
Quoted by Prof. Pawlow upon dogs.
These experiments are described by
DR.. Romme, in La Revue for August:
The gullet of the animal was cut in
sections and fixed to the neck, so that
when it ate, the food merely fell to
the ground, and the stomach was di-
vided lingo two parts, Il where no
food was allowed to penetrate, the
other into which was put the food
necessary to keep the dog alive.
The results Of the experiments
proved that the mere offering to the
dog OF food which he liked caused an
abundant secretion of gastric juice,
although of course. nothing had enter
ed the stomach. If he were given a
dainty-not merely food which he
liked-the flow of gastric juice was
much more abundant-that is, food
taken without appetite will fall into a
stomach without ,any gastric juice
READY 10r II. Inc WOIk OIL ulSc5.IOn
was formerly supposed to go on all
right if only you can get the food to
the stomach. The PaWlow expert
ments show that it is either not digest
Ell at all or very badly %digested.
Again, the brain transmits it's orders
to the stomach by means Of two pneu-
mogastric nerves. Prof. Pawlow cut
these nerves On a specially prepared"
dog. Then he gave the dog some raw
meat, which again. of course, did not
reach the stomach; but no drop of
gastric juice was secreted. No method
of mechanical excitement produced
any juice. And if, unknown to the
dog. without arousing in him the idea
of food, bread or cooked white of egg
were introduced into the stomach,
they remained hours without causing
the least secretion of gastric juice. But
after administering extract of meat or
milk first, the secretion was provoked.
