LEEcRES ARE STILL USED.
Foreigners I'm ChiengO Cling to the
Belief That bleeding Is Good
for Many Ills.

The use OF leeches. according to re-
tail druggist in an Italian quarter Of the
city, is Increasing. This, says the Chi
cago Tribune, is likely to be news TO
many physicians and certainly 10 the
lazy, who have thought that bleeding
was a dead medical theory.
The druggist who made the statement
had just sold something in a small box
10 group OF Italians whom he charged
Is cents Afterwards he explained that
1t was leech, and then be added that
sales were increasing In drug stores
which find their patrons among the for
eigners Of the large cities.
They are raised mostly in Sweden,
where they are cultivated in leech lakes.
They are sold at four cents each at whole
sale, but the retail druggist adds heay-
lily to the price I'VE have to do 1t, said
the druggist They die If they get too
warm or too cold, and you are out what
you paid for them.
"The sale Of them is constantly in
creasing. II is due to the fact that the
foreign population of the country is
growing all the time. In this coun-
try the natives do not look upon bleed
ing as a cure for all manner Of things,
but in many foreign countries that is
the first thing they think of when any
thing is the matter with a person. II
doctor isn't around to tap the sufferer,
off they go for one Of these little blood
suckers It's the same way when these
folks come TO this country. They think
Of bleeding" whenever anything hap
pens in the way of an accident and il
one of them gets bruised the first thing
he wants is a leech. When one Of them
gets into a squabble and comes out OF
it with black eye, nothing but leech
will do him
"The demand for these ugly little
things is confined almost entirely to the
foreign born element in the city, and in
a store situated as this one is We must
keep a good supply Of leeches always
on hand In the stores situated in the
fashionable districts | doubt II you will
be able to buy a leech. They, however,
may keep them in some OF these places
just TO have them in case they are
wanted. but It is safe TO say they don't
sell a dozen in year. Do we? Yes, in
deed A dozen a day is more like our
record. One day last week | sold 49,"

PUMPS MILLIONS OF GALLONS.
Mining Company ON Lake superior
Has suction Pump of Immense
Capacity.

The largest suction pump in the world
is one located at the mines of the Calu-
met & Heela Copper Mining company, on
Lake Superior Without being crowded
to the limit Of its capacity this pump can
deliver 100000 gallons Of water every
hour in the "a Moreover, II will do the
work without making as much noise as
is made by the operation of the old-style
sewing machine. Outside the doors Of
the great building which houses it no
sound is heard from within, and, stand
ing beside the monster upon the brink
OF the pit connected with the lake from
which the water is taken, almost the
only sound is the noise Of the suction, as
with every stroke more than 1000 gal
Ions are lifted
II is a triple expansion pumping en-
CINE. with a capacity of 60,000,O00 gal
Ions. standing nearly 80 feet in height,
and requiring 1900 horse power for its
operation. 1t has been proved by actu-
al test that the nominal capacity can be
easily maintained for an indefinite time
W lAAbhA lhJhi VI HNA am anu AAtAAN HAAa'A'A
to its full capacity. the pump could
handle approximately $4,000 600 gallons
in "a consecutive hours.
The duty of the pump is to furnish
water for the great stamp mills of the
Calumet G. Hecla company, which has
% steam pumps in continuous operation,
daily pulverizing 5000 tons Of conglom-
crate rock into sand so fine that II can be
carried way by stream Of swiftly run
ming water
The pump is housed in a special build
ing near the shore of Torch lake and be-
low the mills, and 1t forces a steady
stream of water to the upper portions of
the mill. where innumerable small jets
of water play upon the great slime
tables and jigs. Here the specific grav-
ity OF the fine particles Of copper con-
tanned in the rock separate the mineral
from the worthless sand, and the size
and the force of the streams of water
are so nicely regulated as to wash away
the sand and yet carry with It the mini
mum Of copper.

CONSTIPATION Cured.
A Barrytown, NJ. Y, Mans Expert

Dr.. David Kennedy's New Medicine Cured
Him Promptly.

Constipation leads TO worse. Often it Is
the cause Of appendicitis. Always it leads
10 dangerous chronic disease. 1t should
