left the Vatican, considering himself an
injured man.
According to the rules for the govern

principal duties is to watch assiduously
the person of the Pope when his holi-
ness is seriously i'll, even the papal apart
ments passing under the guards respon-
slbility during such periods. After 1870
there was gradual curtailment of ex-
penses at the Vatican, and this resulted
In reduction in numbers of the Noble
Guard, which now contains about forty
men. Not all of these ore at the Vari-

the work of those on duty is heavy, as
they mount guard, six at a time, for six

Justus Won Liebig.

Won Liebig was skillful in correcting
popular delusions On scientific subjects.
A notable example of this may be
found in the overthrow of the once
much discussed theory of ''spontane-
Gus combustion" comparatively mod
ern error, dating, it seems, only from
the year 1725, but which persisted long
after Lavoisier had explained the real
nature of fire, which was from time to
time put forward with success in the
defense of persons on trial for murder
and received its last support from
Charles Dickens. His success in this
direction throws a pleasant light on
the progress of civilization. One won
ders what would have been the fate of
Won Liebig had he opposed himself to
such an error in the sixteenth century
when Kepler could only save his moth
er from going to the stake for witch
craft by satisfying her judges that she
possessed none of the signs essential
to witch. In those days Kepler did
not dare to say that there were no
such things as witches.-W. A. Shen-
stone in Cornhill Magazine.

Nature the Only Healer.

Medicine never did any person a par
ticle Of good except by digestion, as
similation-going into circulation, etc.
No salve contains any healing prop
erty. except as a protection to keep
away the effect of oxygen in the air,
dirt or any foreign substance from
coming in contact with the part af-
fected. The natural powers of our be-
ing possess the only power to heal.
Anything that may be done to assist
in a natural way is good-contrary,
bad. Give good food to make good
blood. Breathe good air, rest and not
overexercise to the extent of fatigue.
Then the body will recuperate. Then
the wound will be healed by healthy
serum that is secreted to heal all
wounds, not the salve. The salve pro-
tects from outside influence, while the
machinery within goes on with its
work. Nature does it all-Medical
Talk.

PhrenOlOgy.

Phrenology is usually thought to
have been first expounded by Gall and
SpurZheim and to be comparatively
modern so called "science" But it
can be traced back to the sixteenth
century at least, for in a book pub
lished at that time by "Mayster Jhe-
rome of Bruynswicke'' is a profile of
head on which are most distinct
ly marked chronological attributes.
Imaginative" occupies the place now
given on the charts to '1deality;"
fantasia takes the place of the mod
ern "marvelousness," "estimantia" of
"constructveness," while "cogitan-
tia" is given instead of "hope." The
author states that the brain hath cells
or chambers, and each cell contains a
part of the understanding, and that
these parts may be expressly seen in
the figure of the head. Phrenologists
can at least disclaim against their
beliefs being newfangled. - London
Chronicle.
