READERS of Grand Forks papers are
unable to dislodge the idea, which how
ever, is assuming the form of fact that
the Plaindealer is now 'going some" and
has become source of irritation to the
Herald. Things have changed some on
the P-D. since "Reiny' took hold. The
paper can now stand without hitching,
it's party readers are proud of it and its
present attitude toward it's contemporary
across the way is likely to cause an out
burst of profanity most any old time.
Things have changed and honor is due
to the hard work done by the editor of
the Plaindealer. who evidently isn't
afraid of putting in overtime.

ONE of Park Rivers two newspapers,
the Walsh Co. Republican, is making an
honest effort to keep up with the pro-
cession, but as long as it continues to
show up nearly whole week behind the
rest it is likely to get tagged. Its
status as newspaper, however, deserves
a greater hustle on publication day.

Decline of the Graceful Courtesy.

There w was a time when peo-
pie were more lacking in grace" said
a dancing master.
"A hostess nowadays" he added,
crowds her drawing room or ballroom
with a large number of 'un~desirables'-
that is, people with no pretence to
what is vulgarly called a stylish man
ner. The hostess is not to blame;
circumstances compel her to invite
these people. But at one time a
hostess paid as much attention to her
guests accomplishments in deport-
ment as their, character before invit-
ing them to her house.
AT a private dance how seldom one
sees a girl make a graceful courtesy
TO her partner! Usually she does no
more than nod in a way that looks
shockingly familiar. AS for the men
well, a quarter of a century ago
one saw more masculine grace at a
clerks or shop assistants Cinderella
than our best bred men are capable
of to-day! But, after the example of
the girls, who can wonder at it,"

From Bordeaux wild scenes are re-
ported during a bull fight at Benatte
recently. One of the matadors was
making a pass at his third bull, when
somehow the animal hurled the sword
from his hand, and the weapon, after
flying high in the air, fell on the head
of an old sea captain in the auditorium,
who sustained a slight fracture of the
skull and a deep wound two inches
long I'VE the left eye. The same bull
caught another torero mapping at the
~criticsl moment and gored his so Sc
yerely that he had to be removed to
the hospital. The spectators, consid-
ering these mishaps as proving the
incompetence of the matadors, gave
expression to their opinion after the
approved method of smashing the
benches, hurting them into the arena
and leaving the building.-London

Two Swordfish Pursue a Whale.

The rare spectacle of a whale pur-
sued by swordfsh was witnessed here
by those who came to the beach yes
terday. There were two of the sword
fish following the leviathan. The
whale, which was about thirty feet
in length, made swiftly toward shore
in its effort to get away from its tor
mentors, which, no doubt, frequently
jabbed their swords into 1t, for the
monster leaped entirely out of the
water at intervals in It's mad plunges.
The three came in quite close to the
wharf before the whale saw that
there was no escape landward, when it
turned out to sea again and contin-
ued up the channel.
The combatants were in sight a long
time and were watched with eager
interest by the assembled crowds.

MEDICINE.
In Former Times They Knew Little Of
Surgery.


Like their Chinese neighbors. the
Japanese-up to the time Of their re-
cent adoption of western civilization
practiced medicine a good deal. but
surgery hardly at all. In fact. there
were no recognized surgical practi-
TONERS. Thor surgical armamenta-
rium-like that of the practitioners of
the celestial empire-consisted al
most, If not wholly, of the acupuncture
needle and the moxa. Their medical
practitioners were also druggists and
botanists. Zach was accompanied in
his rounds by an attendant. who car
ried a small chest in which were IL
drawers. Each of the latter was fur
nished with 144 compartments con-
tanning herbs and drugs. After exam
lining a patient, they selected from
this reservoir the required remedies
and prepared and mingled them secun-
dunn artem.
Their science of the pulse was the
most complex Of n known to medi-
cal history, except, perhaps, hat of
their Chinese n~eighbors. An examin-
alton of the pulse occupied half an
hour; at the conclusion Of which they
protested to know all the conditions
and the causes of the malady. AS a
rule, they used but few remedies.
They never let blood. They gave
their patients none of the ordinary
cooked forms of diet-on the ground
that the stomach in diseases was I'M
able to digest anything suitable to the
healthy state. Otherwise they gave
them as far as possible what they
wished for: relying on the view that
nature was always the safest adviser,
and reve" demanded what was hurt
full TO the constitution. The great OBJ
ject of their practice was the preven-
ton of disease; and to this they be-
lieved that nothing contributed more
effectively than the frequent use of
the bath.
There were three varieties of small
pox distinguished in Japanese prac-
tice. The first corresponds to that
known in Europe by that name. The
second appears to have been identical
with L measles. The third was a
special disease Of the country-char-
acterlzed by an eruption of "pustules
aquenses," which Pere de Charlevoix
was disposed to attribute to the ex-
cessive use of cold drinks by the Jap
anese. None Of the varieties appear,
however, to have ben regarded as a
very fatal disease. According to the
early Japanese explorer, Koempfer,
the only treatment that was consid-
cred necessary was to envelop the pa
tient in red cloth. This traveller
states that when one of the family of
the emperor was attacked with small
pox, not only was his bed and the
walls Of his bedchamber curtained
with red. but all the attendants were
obliged to yea garments of the same
hue. An interesting anticipation, in
deed. of the experimental practice of
the English John of G~addesden, and
its recent resuscitation. on the most
advanced scientific grounds, by some
European and American physicians

A Horse Which 1nouaht.

Instances of great intelligence in
horses are almost as numerous as
the horses themselves, but there. are
few which make p~rettier stories than
this, related in La Nature by a Par
isicn.
At Vincennes, In my childhood, he
writes, my father had two spirited
horses of fine blood. One day while
one of them, Prunelle, was passing
between two walls with my little sis
ter on her back, the child slipped and
rolled between the horses feet.
Prunelle stopped instantly and held
one hind foot in air. She seemed to
fear to lower that foot lest she should
step on the child. There was no 0
for the horse to turn O for a man
to pass in.
In that uncomfortable position, with
lifted foot, however, the horse stood
patiently while an attendant crawleG
between her forefeet and rescued the
child.-Montreal Herald.

Little Jurors Appeal for Ereape Was
Of No Avail.

OF NO vail
TIE Judge had his patience sorely
sied by lawyers who wished to talk
q by men who tried to evade fury
service. Between hypothetical ques-
ions and excuses IL seemed as IL they
never would get to the actual trial of
the case. So when the puzzled little
German who had been accepted by
both sides jumped up the Judge was
exasperated.
"Shudge!" cried the German.
What is it?" demanded the Judge
/ tink / like to go home to my
wife," said the German.
You can't" retorted the udre. "Sit
down."
But, S~hudge." persisted the Ger.
man, Il don't tink l make a good
shuror."
You're the best in the box" said
the judge. "Sit down"
What box?" asked the German.
The jury box" said the Judge.
Oh, | fought 1t vas a bad box that
people gets in sometimes"
No" said the Judge; the bad box
is the prisoners box"
But, %Shudge," persisted the little
German, Il don't speak goot English"
You won't have to speak at ALL"
said the judge. "Sit down."
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea.
Shudge," he said, 81 can't make
nodfngs out Of what those fellers say"
1t was the Judges chnace to get
even for many annoyances.
Neither can any one elso," he said
sit down."
With a sigh the little German sat
down.
