BONE LOST IN 'o4 RECOVERED.
Veteran of the Civil War Has Missing
Part of His Anatomy Re-
turned to Him.

After nearly 40 years, Jacob S. Miller,
an old soldier of Uniontown, Pa, lately
received a piece of bone taken from his
left shoulder by the late DR.. Norman S.
Teal, of Kendallville, Ind, on July 81,
1864, at the battle of Peach Tree creek,
Atlanta, Ca, when Mr.. Miller was
wounded. The piece of bone, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, is about three
inches long.
Although a terrific windstorm was
raging at the time, the surgeon operated
in the open air at night by torchlight.
DR.. Teal was much gratiied by his sue
cess, and after the war, when he lectured
on surgery, he frequently exhibited the
piece of bone before students.
Nearly 30 years ago Mr.. Miller asked
DR.. Teal for the piece of bone, but the
doctor would not part with it. DR.. Teal
died about five years ago, and recently
his son. DR.. Georgia. Teal, consented to
return the bone to Mr.. Miller.
Mr.. Miller was a corporal in company
D, Seventy-Ninth Pennsylvania regi-
ment, and is now Ga years of age.

A Japanese Soldiers Luggage.

Lieut.. G. s. Turner, Tenth United

Japanese troops in a three days recon
noissance south and eas of Picking, says:
Each soldier carried on his person 100
rounds of ammunition, an overcoat for
bedding. a haversack, water bottles and
three days rations. The ration consist
ed of rice and dried fish. The soldiers,
however, depended mainly on the coun-
try for their subsistence. am of the
opinion that in a country where there
was no foraging the amount of food car
ried would be insufficient. Before leav-

SILVER AS AN ANTISEPTIC.
Duration of Wounds Favored
by Physicians.

Even the most skillful of surgeons
sometimes finds it difficult to dress a
wound in such a manEer as to prevent
suppuration, q condition that is quite
likely to endanger the patients life.
The processes most in use are exceed
ingly complicated, as most dressings
must be removed at least every day.
There are none of these objections,
however, in the method of DR.. Reboul,
says a medical journal, for whether the
dressing is to be applied to a recent cut
or to an liberated tumor a sheet of sill
yer or silver leaf is all that is neces-
sary. The silver is simply placed on
the wound or ulcer, and as it sticks
closely to the surface a little cotton
soaked in collodion is sufficient to keep
1t in place.
The effects of this sheet of silver are
very remarkable. When the wound
is q recent one and not contaminated
with microbes the wound cr hefI;
under the influence of the silver with
out Inflammation or suppuras.cn and
without presenting the slightest bad
symptom. Conditions are just as ia
vorable in cases of ulcer-chronic ulcer
Of the leg, for example-in which case
the s%uppuration decreases little by lit
tie, while the liberated surface grad
ually becomes covered with healthy
skin, which soon produces q good cica-
trice in place of the ulcer. This per-
feet eieatrization has evel been OBJ
tanned in many cases of liberated can
Ger of the skin.
What Is this property that silver pos
sesses? 1t is due to the great antisep-
tic power of this metal, which Is
proved by the following experiment:
Several years ago a physician Of Lyons.
DR.. Rollin. decided to cultivate nil
erobes In a boaillon which he had placed
in a silver vessel. To his great sur
prise he found that in place of multi
plying in the nutritive liquid the mi
crobes persisted, and at the end of a
few hours completely disappeared,
which fact was all the more remarka-
Bile as the same microbes multiplied
ad infinitum when placed in another
vessel. Pursuing his Investigations,
DR.. Rollin, analysed the bouillon
which was contained in the silver yes
sci and found therein a very small
trace Of silver, which infinitely small
quantity had rendered antiseptic a liter
of bouillon.

FAIR EXCHANGE
a New Back for an Old One-How
it can be Done in Perth AmbOy.

The back aches at times with a dull,
indescribable feeling, making you weary
and restless; piercing pains shoot across
the region of the kidneys, and again the
loins are SO lame to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to the back
in this condition. You cannot reach the
cause. Exchange the bad back for new
and stronger one Follow the example
or this man.
Charles G. Matchett, of % Commercial
i~ayenne, New Brunswick, carpenter by
trade, says: "For three or four years |
was subject to headache and q dull pain
across the loins, which damp weather ag-
..grevated. III caught cold Dit settled in

ReIlrious Education.

The fact is brought out by the Educa-
tional Review that over $4,000. 900 per-
sons are enrolled in the Sunday schools
of this country. In the public schools the
enrolment is nearly 16, DOC, 900, DR. only
1000, 900 more. The accusation that the
religious education of children is neg
lected in America, with the consequence
of inevitable moral degeneration in u
society. as alleged by Rev. Mr.. Geer, is
not sustained by these statistics. More
attention seems to he given to the re-
ligious training of children in this oun
try, by churches and in schools and by
home instruction, than in any other Of
Christendom.

OF ASBESTOS.
Wonderful Substance That Is Com
ing Into Prominence.
Link Between the vegetable and Min
eRaI Kingdoms-HOw Is OBJ
tanned I'm Various
Countries.

Asbestos is one of the most remark
able substance found in nature, and is
classified by biologists as a peculiar spe-
cies of the hornblende family OF miner
ais. Its composition is chiefly SILICA,
magnesia, alumina, and ferrous oxide,
and consequently understandable, n
Its name. The fibers formed by chemlcai
combination are perfectly smooth, and
in this respect are different from all 9TH
er known fibers, says the Scientific
American.
Paradoxically, 1t is the link which
completes the chain between the vege-
table and mineral Kingdoms, and is In
fact a neurological vegetable possess
ing the curious properties found in both,
for it is at once fibrous and crystalline,
elastic and brittle as thistledown when
treated mechanically.
Added to this, its fibers, soft, white
and delicate, have, by their inherent
quality of indestructibility, withstood
the action of the elements since the
world began; and through all the count
less ages, during which the hardest rocks
surrounding it have been reduced, this
meteorological mystery has remained in
tact, having successfully resisted the
assaults of fire, acids and time. Asbestos
is found widely distributed throughout
the world, although the principal sup
ply of crude asbestos suitable for the
manufacture of fireproof cloths and cur
tains comes from Canada, about rs miles
from Quebec.
The italian mineral has a fine, silk
like fiber, but is lacking in the essen
tial characteristic of strength. The
product obtained from South Carolina
has a soft, woody, yellowish fiber, which
quickly powders under pressure. The
South African asbestos, as n might
naturally infer, is of a dark slate or
black color, with exceptionally long,
strong flbers, but owing to its stiff
and horny texture, it cannot be manu-
featured into a fine fabric, hence the
superiority Of the Canadian asbestos,
and it's large consumption in the United
States.
The mining of asbestos differs radical
ly from the mining of other minerals,
since no shafts are sunk, but excavations
are made in the open, somewhat after
the manner of a stone quarry. Canadian
asbestos, however, is found in narrow
veins or seams about an inch and a
quarter in thickness, and embedded in
rock which is easily severed from 1t.
The strata of asbestos, which may be
vertical OF horizontal, are found in
practically detached deposits, and are
as elusive as those of zinc-bearing ore,
and can only be determined by exploring
for them.
The rock to which the mineral Is at
tached shows on fresh fracture a serpen-
tine mineral of a green shade contain
ing fnely-divided particles of chronic
and magnetic iron. The asbestos on
cleavage presents a brilliant, dark
green surface by reflected light, but the
ibers after they are detached are per-
fectly white. The act Of separating the
mineral from it's matrix of rock is termed
"hand cobbing," and after this process
the mineral is shipped to various fac
tories in the United States.

who pays txaes should receive notice
Of the amount Of hls taxes before the

can be found In the fact that your
taAes will be much higher this year

county officials are afraid to follow
the usual custom Of sending a postal

emit voters who will not jump at the
crack OF the party whip, but who vote
for men and economy for good
