MORAL REFORM BY KNIFE.
Surgery Credited with Having Cured
Viciousness In Human Beings.

surgery Credited with having cured
Viciousness In Human Beings.
London Is just now very much in
terested in two surgical cases giving
results in changing the nature of the
subjects which promise to render val
liable assistance In pointing the way
to the reformation of criminals. One
of these patients was boy of good
family who had developed brutal in
stincts which seemed to be beyond
control He gave his time to the in
ventlon of ma icious mischief, delight
ed in killing or wounding, was tie
terror of the neighborhood In which
he lived and promised to grow up
desperate and criminal A clever sur
gean took him In hand, examined his
head with care located what he con-
sidered the seat of trouble, removed
portion Of the skull and thus relieved
the determining pressure. The change
was immediate.
The lad forgot his previous tastes
and habits and was restored to his pa
rents a normal and lovable boy. the
complete antithesis of his former self.
/
The other was soldier who was in
iured in n sklrmlsh and after his dis
charge for disability became a thief
and burglar. His previous character
had been uneXceptionable, his military
record was the best and the change
was naturally attributed TO the injury
to his head caused by blow from the
butt of musket. When he was taken
In hand by the surgeon he had about
come to the end of career Of crime,
being paralyzed on one side and UNI
able to get about except on crutches.
A depression in the skull sufficient to
bring an abnormal local pressure
upon the brain was found and an oper-
alton was decided upon, which restored
his physical powers as well as his men
tai and moral faculties. His discharge
was secured and he has since lived
an industrious and honest life, with no
evidence Of disposition to go wrong.

Methods of FertiIizing Meadows.

There has been much controversy
,yer the method to be employed in
,ertilizing meadows to obtain the best
tesults, but experience has shown that
most meadows must be treated as in
dividual plots of land; that Is. fer
tilted according to its especial needs.
A meadow that has been cropped for
4 long time naturally will require some
reseeding and that the fertilizer be sup
Piled at different times and be com
posed of different ingredients On the
other hand, meadow in good con
dition and not too old will require
only top dressing with stable manure
md even this must be done In accord
lnce with the needs of the particular
meadow to which 1t IS applied. AS a
rule, ten two-horse loads of manure
10 the acre put on with a manure
ipreader so as to properly and evenly
rover the ground, is the quantity that
will give good results at the minimum
Of expense. The use of the spreader
Q urged in applying for the coat is
iot only even but is fine and in the
pest condition for good results and
iuick action.

Freak Farming.

Freak Farming.
There are radically different ideaA
as to what the better agriculture
should consist in, The real farmer
is said to adhere too closely to the
ways Of his fathers. He plods. The
city man who goes to the country
would correct all this by overturning
1t. He sees revolution in everything
with which be has to do. Ways Of
doing business are not so much I'm
proved ns revolutoniEed The new
things are OF different kind from the
old. The automobile 10 not an I'm
provement OF the horse and carriage;
II In a new creation. The new tele-
graphy uses no wires to carry Its mes
sages. The X-rays allow us to see
through board. The man who 10
familiar with all this wants to In
troduce some wholly new and startling
thing when he goes into farming Hs
would reform it and revolutionize It.
The upshot Of 1t is likely to be kind
Of freak farming He will grow some
specially, perhaps popcorn, pigeons,
iquorice, ginseng. wormwood, madden,
basket willow, Angora goats, skunks,
The point is that these small crops
and Fictitious enterprises are mere
side issues and really have no great
effect on agricultural prosperity as a
whole. They may be very profitable
here and there, but they are for the
few and special conditions, Mere
specialties cannot revolutionize a great
series of businesses like the agricul.
tural businesses, that engage four
times more fixed capital than manu-
features. We have probably about
reached the limit of fancy farming"
except as it may be practiced as a
mere diversion. In the upheaval Of
old ideals, we have made many i'm
practical experiments, but the farmer
stands by the old things, improving
them slowly and surely year by year

Water Power.

The Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company is getting
out plans, specifications and esti-
mates for a complete electrical equip
ment for the proposed new power
plant to be constructed ON fhe hy-
draulic canal at Perrysburg, ON the
Maumee river, which will furnish
power and electric light currents for
Toledo and other points in Wood and
Lucas counties.
1t S understood the estimates pro.
vide for plant and electrical machin-
cry equipment costing from 100000
to S2o0,000. No details of the plans
or specifications or exact figures on
the estimates are obtainable, nor will
there be until the contracts are ac-
cepted and signed, as the plans and
estimates are not yet complete. 1t is
stated that st. Louis syndicate of
capitalists Is backing the scheme and
that work will be started early next
year. New York parties, it is said,
are also interested Toledo Blade.

instance a severe cold may. be ward
ed off by taking this remedy freely as
soon. as the first indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in giving it
to children, for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take

New York Girl Cured of semi-DaIly

the Treatment.

After two months treatment by the
application of x rays, Miss Elsie Wink
Ter, 16 years old, of New York city, has

epilepsy and her complete recovery

case, presented at the clinics of the

object of much inquiry from physicians
interested in ctro-therapeutics.
From condition where she suffered
attacks on an average OF two each day,
with the accompanying physical ex-
haustion, Miss Winkler now is ruddy-
checked and vivacious, and declares
she is cured. DR.. ]. II. Brants will not

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

1t will be good news to mothers of
small children TO learn that Group can
be prevented. The first sign OF Group
is hoarseness. A day or two before
The attack the child becomes hoarse.
This is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough. Give Chamberlain 3
Cough Remedy freely as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
he rough cough appears, and it will
lispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is, in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleas
ant and safe to take. For sale by

Cnuae of Rnnciditx.

Rancidity of butter has received a
variety of explanations. A chemical
study leads Jensen, German bac-
teriologist, to conclude that micro
organisms are the cause, three species
being especially active, and that the
air plays no part except in stimulat-
ing the growth of the bacteria. Salt
retards their growth They require
oxygen, and IN protecting butter it is
desirable to keep it in large masses,
exposing the smallest possible surface
to the air.
