For the Sunday Eagle.


There are probably no superstitions so
long lived and so persistently and faith
fully handed down from one generation
to another than are some of the super
stitious ideas connected with disease, the
causes of diseases and remedies that can
be used to either cure or ward off con-
tagious and infectious diseases. Such
ideas must have originated during the
dark ages when the little that was known
of medicine was practiced more as a Sc
cret art the information about which was
confined to the sorcerer and conjurers
These cures were practiced in much the
same way as is the practice of medicine
among the American Indians of this day
and time. 1t would be against all tradi-
ton for the Indian brave to refuse to ac
cept the protection Of the lucky stone;
or be lieve that he will not be healed by
the prayers and mutterings of the Indian
medicine man.
: Equally sensible and probably of similar
origin are many OF the ideas of cures, and
projections from disease that are preva-
lent among q large per cent of white peo-
pie of today. All such ideas of these
ideas that were prevalent during the dark
ages. Probably fifty of every hundred
people have some faith in one or more Of
the old Anticipated ideas OF the cause or
cure Of some disease, and the belief in
the maidstone as cure for hydrophObia
is prominent among these old ideas that
cling to us in spite of our knowledge
along these lines. Almost every section
of the country can boast of one or more
mad-stones that are commonly reported
to have accomplished wonders in the way
OF curing people who have been bitten by
mad dogs. These stones, according to
popular report, have stuck to the wounds
caused by the bite of mad dogs and have
not stuck to those caused by dogs not
mad. and. depending on the imagination
of the narrator, some stones have turned
green when applied to the wound, while
others have turned various colors when

soaked in milk or other fluid after they
had stuck TO the wound. The popular be-
lief is. that the stone will only adhere to
such wounds as are caused by the bite Of
a mad dog.
What are these mad-stones? You will
hear as many opinions as TO their wonder
ful origin and composition as of their
wonderful action. / have seen a great
many of these reputed mad-stones and
the majority of them when cut in two
prove to be hair balls from the stomachs
of Illuminating animals such as cattle, an
telope. deer. etc. This hair is taken into
the stomach when the animals lick them
selves and it gradually accumulaies into
ba rs which may in time become coated
with a lime-like covering. They are
frequently found on cattle ranges where
cattle have died and the body, decom-
posing leaves the hard rock-like body to
be picked up by some one and called
maidstone. Other mad-stones are moth
ing more or less than small blocks of
pumice stone that can be purchased from
the druggist for a few cents a pound.
still others I have seen were small gall
stones that may be found occasionally in
the gall bladder or duct in almost any
of the lower animals. In this enlightened
age, pardon the slang, we might appro-
priately call them all gall stones. These
light porous bodies will adhere or stick to
the wound caused by the bite of a mad
dog if they are applied soon after the
bite or injury is made, but they

dries at the edges of the wound and holds
the light body to the wound until the body
takes up enough fluid to make it heavy
enough to fall off. Wash this blood SER
um out with milk or water dry the mad
stone and it will again stick to the wound
if there is enough blood or serum present
to hold il.
The term hydrophobia means fear of
water. and the popular idea is that the
mad dog goes into spasms when it sees
water. This is as erroneous as the be-

reciprocity. AS matter of fact there
was evidence given congress that the
sugar trust spent over ten thousand dol
lars to bring about the reciprocity treaty.
Burton may have been dishonest, but he
was the only Republican from Kansas
who was in line on that question with the
party principles as shown by the last two
national platforms.
Burlington Republican, Already the ac-
tive politicians of this state are speculat-
ing as to the successor of Burton and
wondering who Gov. Bailey will appoint.
The Republican hopes Burton will hold
the once as long as he can, until the last
appeal had been made and the last ditch
reached. This state can well afford to
let him alone until his conviction has
been approved by the highest tribunal
in the land. That can do no harm, and
will be less disturbing than to precipitate
a senatorial contest in the election this
year. or to place upon Governor Bailey
the responsibility of appointing his sue
cessor.
Liberal News: Burton says in a letter
to a friend the other day. regarding his
conviction that God knows of his inno-
cence. The devil has reigned at Saint
Louis too long for Burton to cali on a
higher authority.
Douglas Tribune: J. r. Burton is not
the only public man whose private char
acter and public life is blurred with vice
and wrong doing. The state or the nation
suffers disgrace and humiliation every
time such a man in a high position is ex-
posed. The public should see to it that

TEACHERS VS.. DOMESTIC sERv-


ANTS.
Okeene Eagle: AS the time is near at
hand when the school boards are about
TO determine whether the schools shall
be made a success or failure for the
coming year, by the kind of teacher they
employ, we feel that no apology is neces-
sary for making prominent in this de-
partment. the all-important subject of q
teachers qualifications and pay.
Into the teachers keeping are given
the bodies minds and souls of forty or
more little ones. whose success or fall
ure in life depends largely upon their
teaching in the school room. 1t Is.
reproach to the intelligence of the age
and country that the average teacher.
with her far higher qualifications, does
not receive more pay than the average
servant girl. Here are some hgures that
are better than the average:
The teacher pets for months school
at SS5 per month, $3.50 =
The servant gets for - months work
at s12 per month. Sl4.
Il months board. washing, etc, at sl2
per month. s14A
Total. $2Ss.
has 10 work fewer months than the SER
want. it may be answered that she is
under the expense OF living as many
months; and that her work exhaGsts in
fewer years than does the servants. But
when we take into account the extra ex-
pense the teacher Is under. as compared
to the servant, in the things that are
necessities. such as education, travel
ling. periodicals books. better standard
OF dress and living, attendance at IN
stitutes, etc it viii much more than
offset the cases in which she receives
more salary for a longer time
Tne teachers salary should be not
only commensurate with the grade OF
work which she does. hr1 1t shold be
sufficient to warrant the professional
training that the awakening intelligence
OF the people is beginning TO realize i as
essential TO the teacher as 10 the doctor
or lawyer.
