Nine. de Crequy in her memoirs
has good deal to say about the want
of common honesty displayed by the
great ladies' OF the old and luxurious
French court in the matter of relics
The Duchess de Noalles, n very great
lady indeed. was a sad offender In this
respect. Once she annexed part OF
the arm of st. Jeanne de Chantal,
which she had borrowed from the
nuns of the Visitation. and which she
had refused to give back. II was dis
covered that she had caused II to be
FOUNDED in mortar and mixed with
some drug for her son. the Due
d'Ayen, who was suffering from the
measles. It was, quite true she had
stolen n piece of the true cross. for
she told the archbishop that stoleu
relic was always more efiicacious."

Azrecs AS MEDICAL MEN.
Ancient Race Believed to Have Been
Advanced In Healing Art.

According to recent medical
writer the ancient Aztec race OF Mexi
co was far advanced In the practice
of medicine. The native Mexicans
practiced massage. spllnts wero used
in the dressing OF fractured bones. in
famed gums were lanced with obsi.
dian knives. aching teeth were ex.
tracted. salt was used as an antisep-
tic. and ground obsidlan as a busting
powder. Stiffness OF the muscles and
joints were treated by tho sweat bath.
wounds wero sutured with human
hair. the actual cautery was applied
to the edge of the wounds. and venom
was drawn out of poisoned wounds by
sucking. while bleeding was practicel
In obstinate headaches.
The hygiene OF the teeth was well
looked after. very hot food being
avoided. as was the use OF cold water
after eating hot food. Wooden tooth
picks. clean water. and powdered
charcoal served for dentlfrice. In
short. the practice OF medicine anon,
these early Mexicans compares very
favorably with that in vogue at the
time of the landing of the pilgrim
fathers.

No servant is ever permitted to
serve tea In Japanese house. It is
the privilege of the daughter to make
the beverage. while the guest who
has last arrived serves II. The tea is
made fresh for each guest in the same
bowl, which has to be washed and
dried each time. and SO the tea cere-
mony' is apt to be long one. 1t is
probably for this reason that strict
etiquette forbids the presence of more
than FIVE at such tea parties.

A GREAT INSTITUTION.


It is unusual that single institution In
city of 5000 people will overshadow in i'm
portance every other interest, but such is
the case with the American School OF
Osteopathy, and A I. still Infirmary ut
Kirksville, Mo.
A stranger in Kirksville is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town Is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
Kirksville has been made what 1t is to-day
by DIR. Still and his famous School and
Infirmary. 1t is the largest patronized un-
endowed institution Of its kind in the
United States.
DIR. Stills school enrolls over 700 =t.dents
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study. There are
over 1000 graduates and they are prac-
ticing in every state and territory Of the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws iegalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy Is substituted for that. So
thorough is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students.
At the lntfrmary, patients from every
part OF the country aud with almost every
form OF disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Kirksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re-
lief by the science OF Osteopathy. BY the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as a safe and
rational method OF cure. Several years ago
a free clinic was established In connection
with the practice department of the school
and this is still in operation Hundreds of
the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free Of charge
