Tent Life Cures CONSUMPTION.

a doctor in Denver some time ago
made some experiments with consump-
tives. A tent colony was established
a little way out of Denver, and the
patients progressed fairly well during
the first part of the winter. But by
and by there was a blizzard, and the
thermometer went down to 20 degrees
below zero, and then they began to
improve very fast One woman did
not seem to improve at all until the
temperature reached this mark, and
then she improved rapidly. She had
had no appetite, but that 20 degrees,
below zero weather gave her an appe-
tite, which was an indication that the
body was beginning to work naturally,
that the assimilative processes were
being resumed. and from that time she
kept on improving.

Natural Cure for Tuberculosis.

Swedish doctor some fourteen or
fifteen years ago succeeded. by very
crude method. in curing patients who
have been given up TO die. His prac-
tice was first OF all to rub the patient
three times a day with a towel wet
in very cold water. A little later he
put the patient in a tub of water at
about 90 degrees, rubbing him vigor
ously for about a minute, and later, as
the patient became better able to
endure the cold water. he was plunged
into a tub full of ice water This was
done three times a day. Think of
those poor consumptives! Neverthe-
less they got well. The cold water,
with the rubbing following, produced
such powerful reaction that the
whole body was stimulated to in
creased vital activity and recovery iol-
lowed.
Here is another case: A young man
in New York who was getting ready
TO go to the Klondike went into prac-
tice, 10 convince his friends that he
would not freeze to death. out OF a
large buffalo robe he made bag,
pitched a tent in the back yard and
slept in the tent in the buffalo bag, all
the winter. without suffering any in

PRISONERS Gagged IN COURT.
In Italy Criminals on Trial Are Close
ly Confined.

SODIttlcu.
To the foreigner and especially the
Italian the air OF peace which prevails
in an American criminal court of JUS
tice is a strange study, says a Detroit
Ncws.Tribune correspondent, and the
absence OF bolts and bars and armed
men arouses his wonder and surprise.
Except for a policeman or two, the
prisoner is unguarded and sits beside
his attorney with no more apparent re.
straint than though he was merely a
defendant in a little action for debt
In Italy it is very different, for at a
trial at assizes the prisoners are
placed in cages from which escape is
impossible
In American courts three or four
prisoners are often seen together, and
no bars or bolts are necessary TO keep
them within the bounds of court de
corum. But in Italian courts the hot
temporaments of the prisoners require
the restraints OF gendarmes, rifles and
iron bars, for not infrequently they are
desperate men, who would not hest
tate to make bold fight for liberty or
visit death upon their aecusers.

Child labor in FACTORIES.

The physician in attendance at a
municipal lodging house in Chicago
mas within the past year been making
careful inquiry into the history of
the tramps who have become the city's
guests. He has found that a large
proportion of the tramps give history
of having been employed in factories
or in other debilitating occupations in
boyhood. Our artificial modern life
is making multitudes of human wrecks,
one class of whom is represented by
the homeless, friendless. disheartened
men known as tramps. Fortunate, in
decd, are the boys and girls who live
in country homes and have the oppor-
tunity of growing up in contact with
nature.

A National Error.

Our cities are growing so rapidly
that only about one-half of our popula-
ton are now living in the country. DR..
Gould. speaking of the wrong of shut
ting men and women up in houses and
forcing them into sedentary occupa-
tions, says: There is enough land and
opportunity, if both were allowed and
utilized. to give every human being a
livelihood that will permit life of
normal length" He adds, that with
proper hygienic living, especially in
youth, and with right lung expansion
and development, no person should
have tuberculosis.

chant to a drummer, who asked for a
moment of his time. But it is not
well to live a life too strenuous-bet-
ter hire another man or two and pass
prosperity down the lire rather than

is wise TO fish occasionally. Dollars

Home Sanltariums.

In New York city cunsumptives are
building little huts on the tops of the
houses, and are recovering. Outside
New York, Boston, and other large
cities, tent colonies, where consump-
tives can live out of doors, are being
established. Every city ought TO have
outside it a camp where tubercular
patients can live and get well. The air
inside the city is not so good as ii
is outside; but on the tops of the
houses. where the sun can shine, ii
is great deal better than it is in the
damp, dirty buildings in which most
city people live.

How do You Eat7

1t is safe to say that modern cook
ing develops business for both the sa-
loonkeeper and the undertaken. When
n boy eats mustard plasters in The
form of food that is almost saturated
with fiery spices and irritating condi-
ments, thirst is created that nothing
but liquor or cigarets will satisfy. Man
is admonished to "eat for strength,
ana not for drunkenness but in these
days anything that will tickle the four
square inches of taste surface is con
sidered good food, although it may
contain scarcely any of the elements
that nature requires to replace broken
down tissues and to rebuild the worn
out brain. AS a consequence, the vi
tality and physical resistance soon
feach such low ebb that the individ-
ual falls an easy prey to any microbe
with which he may chance to come in
contact.

Iceland seems to be hardly as des-

old idea being that it possesses only
a single tree. An investigation shows
that the island really contains woods
having various trees of considerable

favorable to tree growth.
