ANCIENT MEDICINES.
Some Peculiar Modes of Treatment in Vogue Among Our Ancestors.

Some Peculiar Modes of Treatmen in Vogue Among Our Ancestors.
 Some of the remedies used by our an- cestors ought to have been sufficient to scare away any disease without their application. Here are a few of them: "A halter wherewith anyone has been hanged, if tied about the head, will cure 8 headache. Moss growing upon hu- man skull. if died and powdered and taken as snuff. is no less efficacious." Dr. Samuel Turner. who wrote on dis eases of the skin. notices a prevalent charm among old women for the shin gles: the blood of black cat. taken from it's tail, and smeared on the part affected. The chips of gallows tied on a string and worn around the neck are said to have cured ague.
 Spiders, as may readily be supposed, were in great repute as remedies. Bur- ton, the writer of the Anatomy of Melancholy" was at first dubious as to the efficacy of the spider as a remedy though he states that he had seen it used by his mother, whom he knew to have excellent skill in chrurgery. sore eyes and aches; till at length" says he, rambling amongst authors, as I often do, I found this very medicine in Dior corides. approved by Matthiolas, and repeated by Aldrovandus. I began then to have better opinion of it.''
 For stopping hemorrhages all sorts of things are used. John Bell says that for this purpose they tied live toads behind the ears. or under the arnpits, or to the soles of the feet, or held them in the hand till they grew marn." Michael Marcatus says that this effect of toads is truth, which any persons willing to take the trouble may satisfy himself of by a very simple experiment; for if you hang the toad around a cocks neck for 8 day or so, you may then cut off his head and the neck will not bleed single drop." The malade imaginare of those days pursued his hobby under difficulties.-New York Commercial-Ad- vertiser.

The Engineering Magazine for June is now at hand and is. as always, full of valuable and interesting matter. The opening article, by General H. l.. Abbot, on The Panama Canal; the Du al Versus the Single-Lake Project" will interest many who are not practi- cal engineers, and the reply by George S. Morrison, setting forth the advan- tages of Lake Bohio at the higher level, forms a fitting pendant. J. B. c.

And here is where Wayzgoose's tri- als and troubles begin, and these are deftly, cleverly told and the reader is kept guessing until the close of the story. A quiet humor peryades the book.

"Discourses on War" by William FL lery Channing; Svo. cloth; Xxi and 229 pages; price fifty cents net; mailing price sixty, cents. Channings Dis courses on War" is the third volume in the International Library, published for the International Union by Messrs. Ginn & Company, the earlier volumes being Bloch's Future of War" and Charles Summers Addresses on War. Channing's services ill the cause or peace and better international relations were conspicuous. He was one of the founders of the Massachusetts Peace society, which was the first influential peace society in the world, and an ear nest worker for the cause during ms whole life. Among all men in the American pulpit, perhaps none ever waged such strenuous war against war and the military spirit among nations. He felt this spirit to be opposed to the fundamental principles of Christianity; and upon this high religious ground his various discourses upon this subject were written. Six of these noble dis courses, touching various and distinct aspects of the broad subject, are inclu- ded in the present volume: and as in the two earlier volumes of this series, there is a careful introduction by Ed win D. Mead. The present volume is one which commands especially the at tention of Christian ministers and churches having to confront the militia " spirit os the time and its tempta- tions. It will have specially warm welcome from all lovers of peace within and without the church. The volumes in this International Library are fur nished at a nominal cost, as part of an important campaign of education in this important field. For sale by leading booksellers.

John Wilkes Booth. the man who
assassinated Abraham Lincoln, died
the other day, and the man who was
hanged for the crime is now supposed
TO have been innocent. Booth $
brother and several other parties who
knew him well fully identified the
body, declaring it was that of the sup
posed assassin of Lincoln. Now if
Abe will turn up and show to the
world that it was some other man who
was assassinated the story will be
complete. While this story about
Booth is not probable, it was strongly
limited at the time when it was de-
clared that he was killed by his pur-
suers that the stroy looked little
fishy and many people refused to be-
iieve it. There has always been a
loubt in the minds of soome people
who were living at the time and kept
Up with the story of the killing OF
Lincoln aud that of Booth that there
vas some doubt about the death OF
the latter.

ouR NEW CAPITOL

The new capitol of Mississippi has
been completed, paid for an dedicated.
Not dollar of bonds was issued or
ased to pay for the construction of the
building, and it was built so easily
that the people can hardly realize the
fact that it now stands in Jackson as
one of the grandest structures in the
south, so soon begun and SO soon COM
pleted
Should it have been necessary for
me issue Of bonds TO complete the
building it would have been done.
but it seems that from the very day the
governor signed the bill enacted into
law to build the capitol there was
sudden movement in values which
jumped higher from day to day,
bringing such great bulk of money,
30 unprecedented in the history of the
state, that there was sufficient with
ont the issue of bond. We are gen.
erous enough to say that the governor
has the credit, as he should of doing
some fine financiering which, in the
end, will save thousands of dollars to
the people of the state. But since
the first stone was laid for the new
state house the state has been more
prosperous than was ever known be-
| FORE Besides this, the state revenue
agent put into the treasury many
thousands of which had not found
it's way there before, and this was a
great help towards the construction of
the building.
But the people are naturally proud
of it, and had the money been drawn
direct from their pockets they could
not have appreciated the building
any more or congratulated the state
any more heartily on the construction
of state house that will compare
favorably with any other in this coun-
| try for beauty of design, completeness
| and perfection.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June 5.-The most nota-
bic negro educational movement that
has taken place in Mississippi for
some time is the decision of the board
of the Alcorn Agricultural and
Mechanical College to make the liter
airy course subordinate to the agricul-
tural and industrial features of the
school This institution is supported
by the state, and an experiment sta
ton is to be established there and
1.-THE course of study thoroughly re-
yised. Industrial branches for girls
will be greatly enlarged among other
features being nurses training
school.
Last year the college enrolled $50
pupils, all of whom remained longer
than six months, whereas heretofore
it has been difficult to keep them Ion
ger than three months. The success
of industrial training for negroes is
strikingly illustrated in this school.
A few days since President Lanier re-
ceived request to be furnished 45
field hands and sawmill laborers from
the student body. which was promptly
done after the session closed, and all
the students are able to find work at
higher wages than are paid to the
unframed negroes.

Yazoo City is to have an electric
light plant, waterworks and sew
erage system. 1t seems to be but lit
tie trouble these days for nearly every
town in the state to have these public
utilities. 1t shows that the people
are prosperous. It shows that the
entire state is more progressive In
everything than it was a few years
ago. Ten years ago the average Hat
fiesburg man would have stood mp in
the middle of the road and gazed at
an electric light until he became
blind, and an automobile would have
run him out of the county. But
who's afraid now? We have the
electric light, the automobile and
there is . probability that we will
have electric cars in the near future.
