AzTEcs AS MEDICAL MEN.
Ancient Mexican Race Believed to { Have Been Far Advanced in Healing Art

! The ancient Aztec race of Mexico was far advanced in the practice of medi- cine. The native Mexicans practiced massage, splints were used in the dress ing of fractured bones, inflamed gums were lanced with obsidian knives, aching teeth were extracted, salt was used as an antiseptic, and ground obsidian as dust ing powder Stiffness of the muscles and joints was treated by the sweat bath, wounds were sutured with human hair, the actual cautery was applied to the edges of wounds. and venom was drawn out of poisoned wounds by sucking, while bleeding was practiced in obsti- nate headaches The hygiene of the teeth was we'll looked after, very hot food being avoided, as was the use of cold water after eating hot food. Wooden toothpicks, clean water, and powdered charcoal served for dentrifice. Tn short, the practice of medicine among these early Mexicans compares very favorably with that in vogue at the time of the landing of the pilgrim fathers.

She said she wanted book the name of which she had forgotten, but it was about an Amer lean who visited some people at French chateau. This didn't give me any de- finite idea of what book she wanted
 You must have it. she said. Its by very prominent Washington woman. Her husband is in the navy. Her name is Grunsel, Mrs. Grunsel.'
 'Tcould not for the life of me recall any Washington lady named Grunsel. so I. asked the lady to write the name down and give me time to look up. What on earth do you think she wrote? Why, Crowninshield. She told me, too, that it's an old Marblehead name, and that nobody up there ever calls Crowninshield anything but Grunsel.''

NOTES ON 4 SKUNK
INTERESTING STUDY OF THEM
 BY A NATURALIST.
How an Italian Got His First Lesson in American Natural History from One of the Little
 Animals,

Not many weeks ago went out in- b the fields with two full-grown' skunks which have had under observa- ton since their birth. When we were far away from all houses and dogs, and free from all chance of interruption, put my charges on the ground, and lay down, with field glass, to see what they would do. As first they seemed too much delighted at the freedom of the open fields to do anything but walk about, snifnng at the grass and the herbs they found growing there But present. fly they became interested in the insects which they found on the ground, espe- cially the crickets, of which they cap-
 tured number. When one of the skunks caught sight of cricket, he would make a little rush at it and stamp on it with his fore paws, squeezing the insect to death by rolling it over the ground. Then he would put down his sharp nose and eat his victim with evil dent relish.
 After time one of them managed to catch frog, which he deliberately rolled about with his paws until it was dead. He picked 1t up in his mouth, but did not attempt to eat it, and while he was still amusing himself with 1t, the other skunk came waddling up. Then began sQuabble for the body of the frog, which was sometimes in one mouth and sometin es in both. And all the while the skunks squealed as though they were being killed, and stamped their feet at one another with an earnestness which seemed sim ply absurd. Eventually saw them both walking gravely away, with the body of the frog stretched out between them. When they finally disposed of 1t, they were out of my sight, but don't think

WORLDS BIGGEST MOTORS
Machines Capable of Hauling I'm
 mense Loads of Logs at High Speed in Use in Canada.

. - ! A- -. la s 2 | I
 It is in the huge forests of Canada where the biggest motors in the world are seen. They have been specially designed for hauling logs over snow and rough roads One of these ma chimes is capable of dragging a train of 200 tons weight of logs at speed of 12 miles, an hour. It Is the only ma chine in existence that will draw a heavy load through three feet of snow and over stumps and logs foot iii height. It is of 20 tons weight and 200 horsepower. It travels on four run ners, with traction wheel in. the cen- ter weighing several tons. The, ma chinery is inclosed in box-like affair. giving the motor a somewhat strange appearance as it makes it way along the forest roads.

 His chin, the same as me- Cause they'll be servants watchtns Wherever he will be. He'll never go a-fishin'
 The way I do, I'll bet; They'll keep him in the pallus
 Fer fear he might git wet, Or git his fingers dirty,
 Or else fall in somewhere Or stop bomb somebody
 Sent whizzin' through the air. He can't go to his grandpa's
 And slide from stacks of hay And drive the cows to water
 And whoop around all day, And have pie fer his breakfast And pancakes from the pan, { With 6oughnuts in between times. As if he was man. I'm sorry for the-czar's boy;
 They'll watch him day and night And never let him rassel
 Or climb 8 tree or fight; He can't go to his cousin
 And help them to raise Ned And have the fun of sleepin' About four in bed. --S. E., Kiser, in Chicago Record-Her

 they ate it. for have seen them refuse, to eat frogs at other times. When I caught sight of them again, few min-i utes later, they were interested in a blueberry bush, which was laden with ripe fruit. They ate many of the ber-. ries which they could reach as they. stood, and some of those which grew a little higher they got at by pulling down the twigs with their fore paws. During the afternoon saw them feed on black berries in the same way.
 Later on, one of the skunks amused himself by starting to dig burrow under large rock. He went at it with his fore feet, and his great long claws proved excellent implements for the pur- pose.
 Presently there came across the field m Italian workman, who, from his gen. eral appearance, had not been in this country very long, and whose English vocabulary. as I presently discovered, consisted of few sentences about as complex as Two fer fife" He looked hard at the skunk and then at me. and then at the skunk again. Then he de- livered himself:
 Wat dat?"
 Skunk"
 ''Wat spunk? Guide teet?"
 "Fine," with nod. (This on the state ment of one of our most eminent natural lsts, not from personal knowledge.)
 -'You goin' eat 'im?"
 s'No."
 A look of surprise came over his face, and he stepped quite close to the hole where the skunk was working. Pres ently the little animal backed out of the burrow to rest or to survey it's work. and the Italian saw two things. First, that it's skin was of probable value, and. second, that 1t was small creature cas- ly overpowered. Then he spoke again, this time with covetous look on his face:
 "You get i'm skin, eh?"
 .No."
 '.Me get i'm"
 As he said this, he took the last step towards the skunk, which had now re- turned to his work.
 "No, mo-" said, rising to my feet to prevent a catastrophe which felt was imminent, but the Italian mistook my intention. He apparently thought that I wanted to prevent him getting a prize which had no use for myself. and quickly reached down, and dragged the skunk out by the tail. Now have known that skunk for a long time and he is about as good natured as any mem Der of his species which has come under my observation. But he had never been treated like this in his life before, and the next instant the Italian let go of the tail, and was reeling backwards under the effects of his first lesson in Ameri- can natural history.

Coal Dust for Consumption.

He was led to investigation by the fact that consumptive people coming from other regions to the neighborhood of the mines recovered their health. ~

more fruit for the size Of the orchard
than he ever imagined could grow on SO
small an area. Nearly every variety Of
fruit is growing in this orchard. A

sounds rather strange, but it is true,

almonds. Mr.. Fidler bought this farm
