TRAINERS HAZARDOUS LITE.

Der the death of Trainer James Elliott at his home in Pennsylvania the next day from injuries received at the All lentown fair in September; the severe but not fatal accidents to Mccarthy and Geers at Memphis, the current Trotter and Pacer remarks that the in cidents twill. cast tinge of sadness over the Close of the harness racins season, and serve to again emphasize. the hazardous nature of the calling of the professional driver. Indeed, when the amount of risks are taken into full consideration 1t seems almost mira cle that there are not more serious casualties every season, with fatal consequences. Undoubtedly the ma. jority of accidents that do occur are unavoidable. but 1t is a deplorable fact that there are still many wn4ch owe their existence to the flot-headed inn pulsiveness or stupid carelessness of the drivers. MT Riley's death was due to an accident of this character. An other driver ran into his sulky, demol- ishing a wheel, which precipitated MT Riley to the ground. producing concus- sion of the brain and ultimately caus
 ing death The rules against foul driving are severe, but not half severe enough. When palpably manifested 1t should result in he permanent expul- sion of the offender. for the occupation of a thousand men of this class are not worth the sacrifice of lives like those of James Elliott or John Riley"

Dr Goodwin Smith has taken occa- sion several times lately both in his Bystander writings and in addresses to newspaper men to discuss the growing danger threatening public life and public interest through the control of newspapers passing into the hands of self seeking private cor porations, says a Toronto exchange The danger is neither imaginary nor insignificant The power of the press, both direct and indirect in stimulating and organizing public opinion on great public issues or in
 idlling or misdirecting 1t, is admit tedly great. The power behind a newspaper, it's motive and purpose and ideal, determines to q degree the influence of that newspapers Gdvo- cacy of public issues. The real dan ger lies in change of power un- known to the public and in secret domination of selfish purposes behind the fair seeming of public service 1t is to this danger .Dr Goldwin N Smith calls emphatic attention, illustration of which is suggested by the current rumors to the effect that n group of capitalists have secured control of a series of newspapers and will warp them to the advocacy of schemes an tagonistic to the public interest.

opthalmology of the American Medical association. The investigators found that about 175 cases of blindness and about 100 deaths during the past seven or eight years could be directly imput- ed to wood alcohol in the various forms in which it is manufactured This, es- innate is conservative one and only treats of published instances of death and blindness.
 Drs Butler and Wood consider that the investigations undertaken by them confirm the suspicious entertained by -nany physicians that the fumes of wood alcohol, under certain favorable conditions, are a dangerous menace to eyesight, and they moreover believe that the consensus, of opinion is op- posed to the statement of the makers of the various forms of 'deodorized'' wood alcohol 'rubs" in baths, ill cos metics, hair tonics. perfumes, etc, is always devoid of danger to the eye sight
 The practice of substituting wood for grain alcohol in the manufacture of medicinal preparations would appear to be a most insidious and perniciOus means of poisoning, and the sale not only of methvl whiskey. but also of internal remedies and toilet prepara- tinns manufactured or adulterated with wood alcohol should be restricted by law. In fact there is every reason why the proposition of Drs Butler nnd Wood should be adopted that methyi alcohol in any of it's forms should be treated as poison and subject to the laws of the various states restricting and regulatin@ the sale of poisons.-- Medical Record.

Women who are desirous of enter ing the medical profession encounter discouraging situation in Germany. An association of physicians has sent to the directors of 613 high schools a circular for distribution among the students, in which these are warned against entering the medical profes- sion, which is described as being dis astrously overcrowded, the number of physicians being nearly 3O,O0O, or more than double what 1t was in 1876. The situation is aggravated by the abolition of the law against quacks and by the insurance clubs, which hire doctors at starvation wages.

WOOD ALCOHOL.
Is Dangerous as Drink and in Medi-
 cinal Preparations

Is Dangerous as Drink and in Medl-
 cinal Preparations
 Up to within comparatively recent period cases of poisoning by wood al- cohol were among the rarities of med ical practice, for so long as the sub- stance was manufactured by the old processes its offensive smell and taste were sufficient to deter even the most hardened drinker from using it to sat isfy his craving for alcoholic stimu- lants. Since the time, however, that ''deodorized' wood alcohol has been placed on the market, under various names, the fatalities from its use have gone up by leaps and bounds.
 Not only may it be used in the place of grain alcohol in the manufacture and adulteration of spirituous liquors, but it is also widely and largely used as menstruum in many toilet prepar- ations and remedies for this practice are two-fold. First, and that which appeals most forcibly to human nature, is the comparative cheapness of wood alcohol, it being untaxed and costing but cents gallon, while grain alco- hol, taxed, costs at retail $2.60 per gai- lon. The second reason is the ignor- ance of many manufacturers as to the deadly nature of methyI alcohol. h. deed, even among members of the med ical profession views with regard to the poisonous nature of methyl alcohol are widely divergent, and some who have had no experience in cases of wood alcohol poisoning are openly skeptical concerning it's reputed toxic properties. Tn order. therefore, to de- eide the question, Dr Frank Butler of Montreal, and D@ Casey Wood of Chi- cago, undertook in the beginning of 1904 an investigation of the subject, under the auspices of the section on

QUAINT SWISS FESTIVAL.
How End of Winter and Advent .

How End of Winter and Advent of
 Spring are Celebrated.
 Switzerland has long been known as the land of festivals rich in local color, such as the feast of the vines in Canton Vaud, and the feast of the cows ill Canton Valais. One of the quaintest of the old Helvetian popular feasts is the Zurich annual celebration knoWn as the Sechselauten. This curious fete has as its raison d'ert the burning of toy snowman in com memmoration of the death of winter and the birth of spring.
 The festival begins at 8 o'cock on the morninlg of SechseIauten, when n procession of gayly attired boys and girls IS formed to escort the snowman to the great public square, called Stal- tnausplatz. Boys, dressed as pierrots drag the car on which the portly snowman stands along the narrow streets of old Zurich. These pierrots are followed by companies of knights guilds in their respective picturesque costumes, COW herders, fishermen and clowns, with a car bearing the en- blematic figure Of spring in the rear.
 This figure of spring is greeted with the cheers of the crowd of onlookers. who have turned out to make merry on what to them is the greatest fete day Of the year. Finally the process sion ends it's long march at the Stad- thausplatz and the snowman, familiar ly known as "Bogg," is placed on an immense pile of wood, At this stage of the festivities are interrupted by luncheon, and the crowd disperses ur- til afternoon, when another and much more important function takes place. A procession of guilds is formed, with each member dressed in the costume of his craft, as in mediaeval times.
 Toward the end of the afternoon the procession reaches the Stadthaus- platz where the "Bogg" is awaiting its doom. The scene now becomes most picturesque The crowd of on lockers, several thousand strong, gathers round the "Bogg'' while the neighboring lake is dotted with boats filled with people. Underneath the "Bogg' stand a number of men, torch in hand, all ready to put the pile on fire when the signal is given. This signal is a boom of bells from the bel fry nearby. As soon as given the "Bogg'' is in flames and the cheering of the people fills the air. When final- ly the flames reach the snowman, loud explosion takes place, shattering the "Bogg" to pieces. This is to pro- claim to the populace that winter has really passed away, and that spring is at hand. The cheers of the crowd increase, while all the church bells are rung. Thus the festival comes to an end, and the people of Zurich re- turn to their homes to indulge ill ban Queting and dancing, which bring the day to close. Cafes and restaurants are kept onen all night on this occa- sion, and the farmers assembled from the villages of the canton continue their retoicings until the small hours of the morning.
 The origin of the Sechselauten is unknown, but dates back to the days of William Tell and of other classical Swiss traditions. s.-New York Tribune.

Nasrurtiums for winter growing should be cut off from the plants before the frost injures them, taking stocky, healthy leaf stalks1and sprays, those full of buds being the most desirable. Nc roots are taken. The stalks should be placed in low vase with plenty ot water, when they will thrive and blos- som through the winter. This experi- ment has been successfully tested.

MT. and Mrs. L. D. Dillon of Zanes- vile, Ohio, have arrived in Phoenix and will make this valley their per manent home. MT.

He belongs to that sunny band, each member of which might be classed as an apostle or sunshiEe. He does not now hail directly from Ohio, as he has made his home in Tennessee fo- some years past.
