In his address to the British Med
ical Association the other day the
President. DR.. Grifiths, alluded to
the discovery of quinine. It was an
accident, he said, and entirely
empirical. On this subject an
evening paper says:
Unless we believe that medical
science was revealed, a gift from
heaven, the remark must apply to
every other drug, except a few lately
introduced. In the case of old rem
edies the use Of them generally is
prehistoric. No one can say who
discovered their virtues, or when.
A natural impulse led all races of
men to think that this mysterious
knowledge was granted to their fore
fathers by the gods. Homer names
the two sons of Esculapius as the
chief surgeons of the Greek army be-
fore Troy, suggesting that he regard
- siaeiz aaxants as mortal, though
skilled beyond all others. But, If
before the historic era, and Esculapius
received the honors of divinity. The
Egyptians supposed that Thoth and
Imh0tpou collaborated in writing an
encyclopedia of medicine for the BEN
eft of the human race at the mo-
ment when it was created. The pre-
cious volume soon got lost, but from
time to time priests discovered frag-
ment of it in some old temple. But
all natives intelligent enough to rea-
son on the subject ascribed the heal
ing art to the benevolence of some
deity, which was only fair, seeing
that they ascribed all diseases to the
malevolence of some others. Our
own ancestors regarded Odin as the
Father of Medicine. The Indians of
Peru believed that their divine race
of sovereigns, the Incas, taught them
the virtues of quinine. DR.. Crit
fiths seems to think that the Span
iards discovered them. The invalu-
able bark had been in common use
among the natives of Peru unnum-
bered ages, probably before they
came; certainly it was quite familiar
then. But the Spaniards knew moth
ing of it until the Jesuits established
their missions in the interior. In
telligence has never been denied to
the members of that association by
their bitterest enemies. They soon
learned that the natives had pre-
cious remedy for fever, and soon be-
gan to trade in it. Quinine was
called .Jesuits' bark in this country,
as elsewhere. for generations.
"How did the Indians learn the
secret !? 1t is easy to say that their
knowledge was empirical, but that
does not help US. If the discovery
was an accident, what real luck It
mnst have been unless there existed
in Peru class of thoughtful and OBJ
servant men who tried experiments
without ceasing and carefully noted
the results. It may have been so
in that country, where the royal
intellectual and far seeing among q
stupid people whom they civilized
only by force. But discoveries OF
the same sort are universal. One
might possibly find savages who had
made none of value, but the search
would be long, even TERRA del Fue-
gans probably believe that their med
| icine can cure every disease. Touch
| ing this matter Of quinine, our peas
antry relied on infusion of willow
bark to combat fever, ague and rheu-
matism. Modern analysis shows that
it has something of the nature oi
cinchona, though in very small pro-
portion"

There is city whose gates are wide,
It's pavements pure and clean.
Where ehadoWy forms fit side by side
On the road called .sMight Have Been"
But folks walk there with their heads bowed
low,
And heavy eyelids wet,
For ey'ry corner is haunted 80
In this, 1.-The Land Of Regret"
They meet the ghosts Of those other years
In dreams Of memory sweet,
And wet with passionate. frenzied tears
The graves which lie at their feet
But never, long as their lives shall last,
Can they again forget
Who once have walked with ghosts Of the Past
In this, "The Land Of Regret"
They feel the touch Of hand grown still,
It's fingers softly press,
The tender passion Of kisses thrill
Their own in fond caress-
Ah, me but pity the folks who stray
Where long the sun hath set,
And walk with the ghosts who're laid away
In this. "The Land of Regret"

at the Aack of the CRATE, and a man

and returnedto the door by which he
had entered. It was shut.
He turned lis head for moment,
and Erwell saw on his face look of
horror and disnay. Quickly he set
down the candle, and, raising the
hammer, beat onthe door with all his
might.
Desisting from this, he began to
walk rapidly to and fro, look of
agony on his face. Next, heknelt for
a moment, as if in prayer, but was

lifting his feet rapidly, as though the
floor was burning them, and seemed to
be gasping for breath. The candle
melted to running grease, and sudden

his face there was a look of terrible
suffering. Twice he rolled over, then
lay still. His limbs seemed to shrivel

Few human beings die by reason OF
the infrmities of years. Some claim
that ali persons die of disappointment,
personal, mental or bodily toll or ac-
cident. The passions kill sometimes
even suddenly. The common express
sion "choked white rage" has little ex-
aggeration Id it, for even though not
suddenly fatal strong passions shorten
life. Strongbodied men often died
Young, weak men live longer than the
strong for the strong use their strength
and the weak have none to use. The
latter take care of themselves, the
former. do not. Asit is with the body
so it is with the mind and the temper.
The strong are apt to break or, like
the candle, run the weak burn out.
The inferior animals, which live
temperate lives, have generally their
prescribed term of years.
The horse lives twenty-five years,
the OK fifteen to twenty, the lion
about twenty, the hog ten or twelve,
the rabbit eight, the guinea pig six or
seven. The number all bear propor-
ton 10 the time the animal takes to
grow its full size. But man Of all
animals is one that seldom comes up
to the average. He ought to live 100
years, according to the physiological
law, for FIVE times twenty are 100,
but instead of that he scarcely reaches
an average Of four times the growing
period. The reason Is obvious -man
Is not only the most irregular and
hard-working Of all animals. He y
always the most irritable, and there is
reason to believe, though we cannot
tell what an nanimals secretly feel, that
more than any other animal man
cherishes wrath to keep It warm and
consumes himself with the hre Of
his own reflections.

A story is told of an eminent lawyer
receiving a severe reprimand from q
witness whom he was trying to brow
beat. It was an important issue, and
in order to save his cause from defeat
it was necessary that the lawyer
should impeach the witness. He en-
deavored to do it on the ground of age
in the following manner:
"How old are you?" asked the law
yer.
"Seventy-two years." replied the
witness.
