THE NATURE OF DIABETES.
No Means Known to Science Whereby
Attack Can Be Prevented.

From the New York Herald
The death of Rear Admiral Gherardi
from diabetes was an event which had
been reasonably expected considering the
well-known fatality of the affection, When
the disease becomes confirmed instances Of
cure are exceedingly rare. The worst OF
all Is that there are no means known to
science whereby an attack can be prevent
ed In any given case. Heredity, however
Is well-recognized factor in causation
and with such a predsposition the ordinary
methods of living are often sufficient for
the development of the usual well-recog-
niZed symptoms.
Men are more liable to become the VIC
Tins of attack than women, for the rea son
that they are supposed to be more subject
TO the worry and mental strain which are
generally considered the primary exciting
causes of this ailment. Obviously personS
of marked nervous temperament are more
frequently affected than those of opposite
dispositions, which accounts in a gre at
measure for the prevalence of the maladv

In the popular mind the leading sympton,

The question of proper dieting is the

whatever may be the explanation for the

fact remains that patients are fnyariah1v

ferfng that would otherwise be inevitable.
Finally. however, the time comes when the
malady progresses In spite of all treat
ment and the patient succumbs to one or
other of the many complications, the most
frequent of which are kidney disease and
toxic coma.

Electric Light Treatment.
From the New York Tribune.


OF queer suggestions for the Improvement
of health and the increase of strength the
number is almost uncountable One of the
most recent is the idea that invalids may
gain great deal by exposing themselves
to dazzling environment of electric lights
Sunlight baths and plenty of pure air, es-
pecially outdoors, are beneficial undoubt-
edly The medical profession is unanimous
in that conviction. But the theory that
sick persons can be cured simply by the
trieity is not yet accepted as method of
treatment by any considerable number of
reputable physicians.
In the 7VS of the nineteenth century Gen.
Pleasanton'S notion that the worst of dis
eases could not fall to yield to the remedial
influences of sunlight which passed through
blue glass had a large number of believers,
and blue glass windows were seen by thou
sands in the various quarters of New York
But the idea that the color of window
was panacea has disappeared. Blue glass
windows nowadays are not made use of as
sure remedies for tormenting Affections
Certain forms of electric treatment for spe-
the ablest of medical men. but electric light
pure and simple does not seem likely to
accomplish more .nan the Pleasanton blue
light in relieving the aches and pains of
suffering humanity or In setting cripples
on their feet. Nevertheless, the highly
ina ginative may possibly at any time and
in any circumstances convince themselves
that any sort of treatment. absent or pres
ent, may result to their advantage.

Advertising Her Christmas.

Mrs. Blank at the breakfast table counle
Of days ago; "but there is one stipulation
i am going to make with the shop people"
"Yes?" inquired her husband, as she
stopped for breath.
"And that is that everything I buy shall
be delivered in broad daylight"
"Ah, you are going to aid In the move
ment for early deliveries, and thus help the
poor. overworked store people," her son re-
marked, with commendation In his tones.
Never thought Of that" was the discon-
certing reply. II am going to buy all nv
special presents at Smart & Co.'s and shops
just like theirs that have handsome delivery
wagons and horses and trim men in charge.
and I want all the neighbors to see the
wagons driving up. Last year l bought a
lot of things at these shops, and not par
eel was delivered until after dark, and for
all the neighbors knew they might have
come in the unmarked wagons that those

AN INDIAN BATTLEFIELD.
Scene Of Contest Between Iowa and
Kansas Tribes Discovered.

Kansas Tribes Discovered.
From the Kansas City Journal.
George Remsburg believes he has dis
covered the scene of a great fight had be-
tween the Iowa and Kansas Indians near
what is known as Oak Mills. In Atchison
county. The Kansas Indians held the coun-
try along the Missouri river until about the
time Of our revolutionary war. when they
were driven away by the Sac and Iowa
tribes, which came down from the north
and conquered the region. The Oak Mills
location is supposed to have been the pl ce
of one of their greatest battles. AT this
point many human bones and Implements
of war have been ploughed up.
Kansas has been the scene of Indian bat
ties innumerable. and almost every county
has traditions of fights of this character.
One of the most remarkable engagements
of the kind took place in comparatively
modern times between the Pawnees and
Sioux in the valley of Beaver creek, near
the northwest corner of Kansas. The Paw
nees were slaughtered in great numbers,

STRANGE COAL FORMATIONS.
Peculiar Pictures Formed in the An
thracite Product.

From the New York Tribune.
In the great anthracite coal mines loca-
ted In the picturesque Lehigh Wyoming
and Laokawanna valleys of Pennsylvania
are to be found many wonderful, odd and
beautiful things formed in the anthracite
veins. These formations are nothing more
than pictures representing various inter-
esting and attractive subjects.
In mine of the Lehigh Coal Company,
located near West Pittston, and which
runs beneath the bed of the Susquehanna
river, are to be found imbedded in the
walls Of solid anthracite perfect pictures
of animals, birds and trees and a number
OF small flowers which look like ox-eyed
daisies. At Wikesbarre, in the great COL
lieries of the Wilkesbarre Coal Company,
which are also beneath the Susquehanna
river, there can be seen near the bottom
Of Empire shaft No. 2 a peculiar figure in
the form of an immense serpent. The crea-
ture is coiled up as If in the act of making
spring. Near Wyoming, where the mines
of the Hollenbeck Coal Company sit
uated, in an old working, are pictured sew
eral angels. while in another chamber upon
the walls can be distinctly observed clus-
ter of large grapes. Further on there is
an image of large church.
These pictures are mostly in old mines
which have been operated for many years,
and in some of them, from which thousands
of tons of fine coal have been exhumed. the
anthracite product has been very nearly
exhausted, several almost stripped pill
lars" or supports, merely standing to keep
the roof Of the mine chamber from tum-
bling down.
There is superstition prevalent among
colliery laborers, particularly the foreign
element, that these pictures talismans
of good luck, and if they are in any way
disturbed or destroyed some uncanny and
disastrous event follows. Frequently pious
miners are seen standing before them with
folded hands, fervently praying. It is
stated that 1t is believed prayer said be-
fore one of the delineations is followed by
good luck.
Several instances are known where min
ers who have blasphemed the pictures have
been caught in colliery disasters and have
met terrible deaths. Previous to the de-
plorable Avondale mine disaster, at Wyom-
ing, in 1872 when several hundred miners
were entombed, a party of miners destroyed
several Of the pictures in the mine, and
within few hours the disaster occurred.
Still later. at Plymouth, party of miners
while returning from the night Shift in the
Hollenbeck mine of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Company. threw coal at some
sheep pictured upon the mine walls and de-
stroyed the group Three hours subsequent
an explosion took place in the shaft, and
nearly hundred men were killed.

LAUGHING.
The Wide Difference That is Noticed
Among Various Methods.

Among Various Methods,
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"In all the wide range of evolutionary
studies there is nothing quite so interest
ing to me as the wide difference in the
matter of laughing" isaid thoughtful
man. land 1 have often wondered why
some men with chahces TO observe the diff
ferences, not only-amopg individuals be-
longing to the same uracial group, but
among races, had not. developed the more
striking difference We have dealt with
other important differences, the difference
In vocal range and tone, We have develop
ed in our evolutionary studies the marked
difference between the music of primitive
and civilized people, the broad difference.
for instance, between the simple monoto-
nous scaue of the Fijian and that complex
bit Of sublimated harmony the symphony.
Why not develop the range of laughter
among individuals and races? 1t would be
an easy matter to do this Besides, what
more cheerful study can one pursue than
the study of laughter?
What more alluring theme can we find
in the whole category of subjects relating
to human kind? Laughter! To think of It
is to smile, to enthuse, to become CHEEKY,
to see things Of the world through the rosy
glasses of optimism. Laughter is music.
It is the bubbling forth of the finer things
of the human voice. 1t Is perfected music
1t is the sum total, the final all, in the mat
ter of welded, rhythmical tones. Yet men
and women laugh in different keys and diff
fersut scales. Often laughter is az the
