A Pia Sticking incident.

Captain James D. Graham, In

sent to the Indian Medical Gazette
an account Of pig sticking acct
dent which is probably unique. A
lieutenant who was out pig sticking

on his off side, and stuck it. 1t

the spear, striking the pony's off
shoulder, was wrenched out of the

Of the pig. 1t was flung butt to the
ground, and the point, rising in the
air, penetrated the pony's near
shoulder, passed through its chest
and ribs and out at the flap of the
saddle. Thence it entered the fleshy
muscles at the back of the riders
left thigh, passing out about SIX
and half inches higher up. The
pony stopped still, and the lance
was extracted after the shaft had
been cut. The lieutenant recover

q week later.

I can give chapter and verse for

conclusively that Colombia has no
title to be dealt with by the United
States or any other power as a civ

Chicago University Not Baptist.
Presidene Harper announced that the
University of Chicago had outgrown it's
UNCONVENTIONAL character and should
not be regarded as Baptist institu-
ton; most of the students and most Of
the professors were not Baptsts, and
that 80 per cent of the endowments, ex-
cept that given by Mr.. Rockefeller, had
come from people not members of the
Baptist church. He further took the
ground that religious UNCONVENTIONAL
ism in universities was narrow minded
ness. ..

Thorium For Tuberculosis.

Thorium For tuberculosis.
DR.. Samuel G. Tracey, in the current
issue of the New York Medical Record.
confirms the theory of Professor Soddy.
in association with Professor Ramsay
Of London, that pulmonary tuberculosis
is favorably affected by inhalation of
thorium, a substance many thousand
times less radio active than radium,
but much cheaper and capable Of being
used longer. Thorium can be had for
about 81 pound and can be obtained
by grinding up gas burner nantes.

DR.. j. w. Hill of South Bend, Ind,
has undertaken an experiment to de
termine whether the infants Of negro
parents may be kept from turning dark

way as to prevent fermentation.

MitcheIl's Salary Sufficient.
The one thing which above all others

that two-t thirds of the house voted

amount represented being $4O,O0O,OOo.

steel trust is conducted for its own In
terests solely, and not for the gain of
J. Z. Morgan and J. D. Rockefeller.
The meeting favored a reorganization
