Homeopathy.

Homeopathy is theory of medicine
promulgated by DR.. Samuel Hahne-
mann 175571S43) of Leipsic in 1910.
1t asserts that any disease should be
treated by medicines in minute doses
that would produce in a healthy pa
tient symptoms similar to those mani
tested by the disease requiring treat
ment. This is the principle Of like
diseases are cured by like remedies"
Latin, similia similibus curantur) and
is based on the theory that two simi-
larry diseased conditions cannot sub
sist in the same, organ at the same
time.

THE FIRST HENCHMEN.
They Were Young Mobiles Who Acted
as Pages to the King.

They were 1oung NODies VINO Acteu
as Pages to the King.
Skeat derives the word henchman
from hepgstman (Anglo-Saxon), horse
man, groom. 1t is probable that hench-
men were in the first instance young
mobiles who at state ceremonies attend
ed on the king as mounted pages.
History speaks of these henchmen in
this capacity, for we read that Henry
VI. had three and Edward ~, six OF
them. We And, too, that they were
mentioned In the royal ceremonies as
belonging ito the riding household
and took part in tournaments.
The last time "henchman" is men
tioped in connection with the court is
in the reign of Henry VIII, and grad
ually 1t came to mean an ordinary
page. The word is used by Ben jon
son and Shakespeare in this sense.
In an English journal of April 6
1861, Mr.. W. Henchman claims that
his family took their name from words
spoken by Henry VII. to an ancestor
! in the hunting field, who had ridder
as his page throughout an arduoui
day. "Crossborough," cried the king
"thou art a veritable henchman"

SUSPENSION BRIDGES.
They Were Common In Peru In the
Days of the Incas.

They We're Common In Peru In the
Days of the Incas.
Suspension bridges, some of them of
considerable length, were common in
Peru in the days of the Incas. They
were formed of cables Of twisted osiers
passed over wooden supports and
stretched from bank to bank, then
bound together with smaller ropes and
covered with bamboos. The road from
Cuzco to Quito is still noted for frail
bridges of this sort, which are in con
stant use and span deep chasms.
The Chinese also, according to
Kircher, have for centuries been ia
miliar with the suspension" theory
and have constructed chain bridges In
which the weight of the roadway is
supported by the tension of the chains
The first iron suspension bridge ir
Europe was built over the Tees, neal
Middleton, in 1741, for the use Of min
ers. Two chains were stretched in 6
straight line, steadied by ties from
the banks below, and the roadway fol
foot passengers was supported by the
chains.
The modern suspension system prac
tically dates from 1916, when bridges
both over 100 feet in length, were sue
cessfully completed at Galashiels ant

animal down and would have des-
patched it quickly had not Mr..
Tibbetts interfered, The shot gun
was called into play. The first
charge took effect, but not fatally,
in one of the dogs. Frank Earring
ton, residing in the Dickinson resi-
dence, rushed out from the dining
table. He saw one dog, bleeding
from the wound, making it's way
over a six foot fence. The other,
more seriously wounded, attempted
the mounting of the fence, but
failed, and falling back, tried an
other mode of escape. Mr.. Tibbetts
followed it around the barn and
sent another charge of shot into it's
carcass and put it out of misery.
In the meantime the third dog was
performing antics to the noise of
repeated explosions of the shot gun
and attempting to make an escape.
Shots struck the Howard residence,
the King residence and passed
through the Lauterbach barn before
the dog, badly wounded, vaulted
the fence and got away from the
irate owner of the deer. The ex-
plosions from the gun and the yelp-
ing of the wounded dogs created a
sensation in that neighborhood that

naIiy Reach Agreement.

Pittsburg, jan 29.-The lockout OF
the building trades here, which mas
been on for seventeen weeks, has been
settled and all Workmen are priv
ileged to return to work Immediately.
The settlement came with an agree
ment between the committee Of master
plumbers and the journeymen, In
which the latter were worsted.
Oct. / the plumbers struck for $3.50
a day, an increase of SO cents. This
strike was followed by sympathetic
strikes by members of the building
trades council, in all 1900 men. In
retaliation the Builders Exchange
league ordered tieup of all building
operations controlled by them in the
city, throwing idle 10000 men. Re-
sumption of work then depended on
the calling off of all sympathetic
strikes and the return Of the plumbers
at the old scale, with an eight-hour
workday.
All troubles are to be settled by
arbitration and the employers are
privileged to employ nonunion men.
Since the plumbers strike was in
augurated the men have lost $75O,0OO
in wages and the builders considerably
