Prayer for the Sick for Pay.

From he Columbus (Ohio) Journal.
Praying at the bedside of sick person,
though a fee is paid for the prayer, cannot
be considered as medical treatment, and
is, therefore, not amenable to law, accord
ing to decision rendered by Judge Dick In
a police court. Eva Earl was arrested some
time ago on the charge of practicing med
icine without a license. Her method Of
treating all cases was to pray by the bed
side for the patients relief. A Valley
Crossing woman was q patient of Eva
Earls for some time. She paid for her
treatment IS for the first visit and s. for
each subsequent visit. She died after the
faith cure doctor had visited her a few
times, and the doctor was arrested. Judge
Dick made an exhaustive review Of the
whole case and decided that praying over
the bedside Of a sick person, even though
it is done for fee, is not in any sense fol-
lowing the practice Of medicine. Every
one, he said, has right to pray at the bed
side of friends, since such action does not
injure the patient. The defendant was dis
charged.

Weather and Climate.
From the Indianapolis News.


A last summers theory that abode late
during the long and pleasant autumn was
that on account of the cool summer we
should have a mild winter. There is an
anthithesis about the statement that II
agreeable, and the horrible condition Of
the fuel situation made the wish the father
of the thought. Yet winter is with us, q
trif1e late, perhaps. and in a way that
seems to betoken that he has come as one
comes to his own, and that We shall have
the usual visit from him. OF late years
the seasons seem to have shifted a bit. all
Of them beginning later than the old sched<
ule time, but as a matter Of fact. modern
scientific conclusion is that the supposed
changes Of climate are delusion. Moth
ing Is commoner than the belief that the
climate is milder than In ones youth; that
the cold then was more severe, the SHOWS
heavier. Even a philosopher. as Jefferson
was supposed to be, was possessed Of this
delusion and records that the SHOWS were
not SO heavy as when he was a boy, and
that the climate was getting milder. It
is held now that climate changes only
over geologic periods. and that as far az
man and his sensations are concerned, 10
is constant The difference is In two things,
mainly, manner Of life and attention to
fact.

New French Postage Stamp.
rom the Pail Mall Gazette.

The government of France is to have a
new postage stamp, and the issue will prob
ably be made at the beginning of the year.
The design approved is the beautiful one
Of the woman sower ella Semeuse'D of
Roty. which already appears on the small
coins in currency. The present fnartistic
stamp for inland use, especially its vii
famous coloring. has much troubled the
postal authorities, but want of money and
some other considerations blocked the way.
NJ. Roty has removed them himself He
has presented his design to the post office,
which is equivalent to a donation of $4,000
francs, seeing that that amount is realized
by the first sales of new issue to philatel-
lists, and he has allowed his scruples to be
overcome which prevented him from
designing a stamp when he had acted as
the member of a committee charged with
selecting the viginette. Not to be outdone
in generosity. M. Mouchon, who created the
old stamp, is going to engrave the new. It's
color will be changed to deeper red

A Good, Long Letter.
From the Philadelphia Record.

FfOm the PhlIAdeIphIa RECORD.
A former Philadelphia who is now In
business in Chicago, and who has been
spending a portion Of his vacation with old
friends here, wrote letter the other day to
a chum in the windy city. He had prom
Used to write "a good, long letter." so he
procured a coil Of thin white tape paper,
such as is used by the telegraph companies
on their ticking machines, and proceeded to
work, writing a single line lengthwise on
the tape from the beginning clear through
to the little wooden center. The letter was
in the neighborhood OF 459 feet long. AS
he wrote he unrolled the tape, and allowed
the finished part to fall upon the floor. 1t
required forty-five minutes to roll it up
again, and the epistle was then tied up
with light blue ribbon and mailed to its
destination in a neat little box.

Crowded Streets Christmas Eve.

The shopping streets in all parts of Lon
don presented a remarkable appearance
last night. In a tour of several miles
through the outer circle of London found
everywhere dense crowds, obviously of the
respectable laboring and artisan class,
eagerly buying the turkey and other main
items of the dinner for Christmas day.
That distress exists in London, all who
have reason to go much about the metrop-
oils well know, but there were few signs
OF 1t in the markets last night. Every

Resignation and Discharges.

The week following Christmas witnessed
several Yuletide entertainments, held I'M
der the auspices Of organizations of the
District of Columbia National Guard. The
local brigade is prominent for it's social
features and when off duty the citizen SOL
diery believes in enjoying itself and In
doing SO within proper bounds the officers
and men are encouraged by headquarters
In a number of the company rooms at the
Center Market Armory mammoth and gor-
geous Christmas trees were to be seen, the
distributions of presents therefrom being
made occasions of much merriment.
The guardsmen took advantage of the
holiday gatherings to discuss the proposed
winter maneuvers to be held, If at all,
about the 22d Of February, the announce
ment of which was first made in The Star
last Saturday. Everybody entitled to don
a National Guard uniform is manifesting
deep interest in the proposition. Even the
regulars at Fort Meyer are making in
quiries and several of the officers Of the
I'd u S. Cavalry have intimated that they
would gladly accept an invitation to par
ticpate. No further arrangements in re-
gard to the proposed maneuvers have yet
been made.
Now that the army board has finally
completed its iabors, and its report regard
ing certain amendments to General Orders
No. 81, the new uniform order, has been
approved by the Secretary Of War. it is
likely that General Harries will at once
take up and dispose of the question of just
what portion Of the new clothing and
equipments should be adopted for the use
of the District National Guard.
Those guardsmen not in government en-
ploy will be paid for their services during
the six months just ended, within the next
few weeks. AS soon as the pay rolls have
been received from the several organiza-
ton commanders and scrutiniZed for pos
sible errors. Captain Andrew Parker, act
ing paymaster, will proceed to dsburse
the funds.

the space of couple of people. and by the
action of electricity upon certain chemicals

The First American Duel.

The first fatal duel fought in what
is now the United States was upon
Boston Common, between Benjamin
Woodbridge and Henry Phillips, on
the evening of July 8, 1928. These
young men had quarreled over cards
at the Royal Exchange tavern, in
King street (now State street), and
under the influence of drink had
agreed to settle their differences
with swords in the public grounds
above named. They met at little
after 8 o'clock in the evening, and
Woodbridge was mortally wounded
and was found dead the following
morning.
Both were gentlemen of good So
cial position. Phillips was brother
of Gillian Phillips, who married
Marie, the sister of Peter Faneuil,
the builder of Boston's famous hall.
Woodbridge had not completed his
twentieth year. He was a young
merchant who had recently been ad-
mitted to business as a partner with
Jonathan Sewall, one of the most
active young merchants of the place.
Henry Phillips, young graduate of
the college at Cambridge, was about
four, years older than Woodbridge,
having at the time of this melancholy
affair completed his twenty third
year. Woodbridge was the son of a
gentleman of some dis 'rction in
Barbados, one of the magistrates
there, who had formerly been settled
in the ministry as pastor in Groton,
Conn.
The place of meeting was on the
rising grounds of the Common, not
far from the Great Elm, near where
in the olden time a powder house
stood. Small swords were used /.
No one but themselves participated.
Woodbridge fell mortally wounded
and died on the spot before the next
morning. Phillips was slightly
wounded, and at midnight, by the
aid Of his brother Gillian and Peter
Faneuil, of famous memory, made
his escape to the Sheerness, British
man of-war then lying in the harbor,
and before the sun of the next morn
ing had fully disclosed to interested
friends the miserable result of the
unfortunate meeting he was on his
way to France, where hc died in less
than year of grief and broken
heart.-United States Review.

Deafness Cannot hs Cnred

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets inf1amed
you have rnmbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by >catarrh,
which Is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
