Trentment 81 Cramp,

while 1t lasts the pain Is acute. Most
people jump out Of bed-the cramp near

bed or while undressing-ande either rub
their legs themselves or get some one
else to do it for them. There is nothing
easier than to overcome the spasms, and
the method suggested Is as follows:

When the cramp comes on take tie cord,
wind it round the leg, over the place In
which the pain is felt, and take one end
in each hand and give it a sharp pull

will cease instantly, and the sufferer can

wooDCHucK FARMING
scheme AfoOt to Raise the Animals
for Their Fur and Discard
BELGIAN Hnres.

Farmers who have made the expert
ment have come to the conclusions that
there is no money In growing sEunks
for their pelts or in rearing Belgian
hares for the markets. In the case st the
skunks the trouble began when theprice
Of peltry went down SO that good black
skunk was worth no more than Sl.50.
AS not more than one skunk In twenty
five is black, the business did not pay
for the care bestowed
The Belgian hares thrived and null
tiplied nearly as rapidly as potato pugs,
but the trouble came when the ownerss
tried to sell their output. While there
were customers to buy hares for breed
ing purposes there was q fair income to
/ be had, but as soon as the surpluf AMI
mails were killed and put on the market
It was found that nobody had any par
ticular yearning for Belgian hare meat.
and the new industry languishea for
want Of financial support.
It is proposed. according to writer
in the New York Sun. in some cases to
convert the abandoned skunk pens and
deserted rabbit hutches into enclosures
for the rearing Of woodchucks TIE fur
is good for many purposes, and. the
meat is much better than that furnished
by any OF the rabbit tribe. Though
woodchucks do not produce more than
eight or ten offspring in year, the
young grow rapidly, many dressing as
much as eight or ten pounds when IL
months of age.
The animals are hardy, and WI re-
quire no housing beyond what they can
provide for themselves. It IS estimated
that an acre Of land sowed to peas in ro-
tation will feed 500 woodchucks through
the season As woodchucks are. by the
promoters OF the scheme. estiIaated
as worth SO cents head in the fall when
they are fat, this will make an income
of $3.50 year from an acre of poor land
at very slight outlay of labor.
An advantage in rearing woodchucks
is that 1t costs nothing to keep them
during the winter. Every farmer works
through the summer to provide winter
food for his stock. His cows, horses and
sheep eat into his silos and hay rnows..
his hens and pigs dispose Of his grain,
and II he keeps Belgian hares they smust
be fed on chopped clover, grain and
vegetables from the middle of Septem-
Der to June 1. A woodchuck goes into
winter quarters late In September and
does not emerge until May Is, thus saw

The storm burst suddenly ana WIFI
Wild fury upon the helpless ship. and
high above the shrieking blast and the
savage bowling of the foam-tossed bill

They worked like men who could
see death grinning at their elbows. re-

darkness and the long, weary watches
of that fearful night they pumped with
grim resolve and iron earnestness to
stem the gaping leak through which
the cruel waters poured; and though
despair logged every motion of their
aching biceps, and hope fled bowling
on the pitiless blast, yet still they
stubbornly pumped on.
There was one man who, even amid
that gallant band, where every unit
was a hero, seemed yet to tower
morally a head and shoulders above
his fellows As, one by one, exhausted
nature compelled each fearless heart to
drop the iron crank and fall helpless

this man alone held steadily on. His
tireless arms swung to and fro with
machine-like regularity, and even amid
the widest phases Of the storm his
eye blanched not, neither did certain
calm serenity forsake his otherwise
insignificant brow.

ODD SYSTEMS OF CURING.
stayine for Days In q Tub and Rub
hing with Olive OIL. Exclusive
Grape Diet, Etc.

Here are number of odd systems Of
curing disease which are now practiced
in New York city, reports the World.
The grape cure consists in reverting
to diet exclusively of grapes for sew
eral days at time. 1t is much prac-
ticed In Europe. Patients go to the
vineyards of the south and spend ten
days there, eating the grapes all day
long.
The fruit cure largely used in this
country, is merely modification of the
grape cure.
Allied to the grape and fruit cures are
the two-meals-a-day, one-meal-a-day
and the fasting cures.
A somewhat similar cure Is the milk
treatment, advocated and practiced
quite extensively In New York city. Its
disciples prescribe an exclusive diet OF
milk-as much in certain cases as two
or three gallons day.
The bathtub cure, largely practiced
In Germany, but also in occasional use
here, is modification Of one OF Kneipp's
systems. The patients body Is Inn
mersed in water at blood heat, and he
remains there for days at time, even
sleeping In the water. The cure Is OF
special efficacy In the treatment OF
burns, scalds and other external
wounds.
OF baths there Is an almost infinite
variety used therapeutically. The
Turkish. Persian and Russian baths are
familiar. The needle bath is another.
The recently developed light treat
ment Is assuming important proper
lions. It has many forms and is espe-
cially used where disease Is known to
have a bacterial origin.
An important class of cures includes
hypnetism, suggestive therapeutics and
magnetic healing. Related to these
methods also is Christian Science.
The National Health league is mil
| lion-dollar corporation formed for the
PRONUNCIATION of the nature cure. This
includes many methods Of treatment.
but It's central idea is the study Of
healthy conditions and the attainment
Of them by normal methods.

by prominent Philadelphia physician.
He advocates an occasional week spent
in bed under conditions favorable to
the least possible exhaustion Of vitality.
The olive oil cure is widely practiced.
Pure oil is used externally with rub
bling and internally as nourishment.
Deep breathing is claimed by many
to be specific in all manner Of disease.
The theory Is that perfect aeration Of
the lungs means healthy blood and con-
sequent health q all the tissues.
Physical culture is very Important
branch Of therapeutics. Its advocates
claim that with regular exercise intelli-
gently directed. and, rs an essential ac-
cessory, right eating and drinking, the
body may be kept In normal condition.
The treatment of certain diseases by
baking the body In special oven has
recently been practiced with success.
The lean-meat cure is another sys-
tenn of dietetics.
