At a recent session of the Therapeu

tured on the use of the membrane of
eggs in the treatment of wounds. He
has observed for some time the good
results of placing these membranes
upon the surface of wounds and re-
ports two new cases, that of young
girl suffering from burn on her foot,
and man, 40 years old, with large
ulcer on his leg. Both wounds were in
process of healing and were covered
with healthy granulations.
The surgeon overspread them with
six or eight pieces of the membrane
of eggs, which was covered with tin
foil and fastened with dry antiseptic
bandages. After four days the ban
dages and tin foil were removed and
it was shown that the membrane of

good skin. That the egg membrane
had contributed much to the healing
process was demonstrated in the fur
ther course of treatment. 4
1t seems, however, that the mem>
brane does not always adhere. The
process of cicatrization is not only has
tened, but the wound heals exception
ally well and leaves but few percepti-
lie traces.

Ranks Second Only to Our Trade With
Canada.

Washington.-A report issued by the
Department Of Commerce and Labor on
Cuba says:
Cuba ranks second in importance
in the trade relations of the United
States with other American countries.
The total trade of the United States
with the principal countries of Amer
lea in the calendar year of 1905 was.
with Canada, $2O3OOO,OOO; Cuba,
S125, 100000; with Brazil, Sill ,0O0,-
900; with Mexico, $92.000,00O, and
with Argentine, $39,000,000. The value
of merchandise imported into the
United States from Cuba in the calen-
dar year 1905, according to figures pre-
pared by the Department of Commerce
and Labor, was $95.S57 $50, against
$57 ,22S, ,291 in 1908, s31.747 ,229 in 1900,
and $16,233.456 in 1897, in which year
our imports from Cuba touched the
lowest point in the last half century
The exports from the United States
to Cuba aggregated $44,569,S
against $23,504,417 in 1903, $26,934 524
in 1900 and $7,296,613 in 1896, in
which year they were sDaller than in
any preceding year in the last half
century.
and fruits are the principal articles
forming the imports into the United
States and Cuba. The value of sugar
imports in 1905 was over $4,000 900;
moasses, 81 ,097, 1853; leaf tobacco, s11,-
S79,93S cigars, s3.S55, $50; fruits, ST.
236,02S, of which all but $5,S03 repre-
sented the value of bananas; and iron
ore, 81, ,527,S90.
The exports to Cuba include -four,
s567, 900; cattle, $1.5S7 234; bituminous
coal, $1,40S.770; cotton cloth. $1,2l2,-
319: boots and shoes, $1,5S6,790; lard

bacon, $412,G72; hams, S4GS,S42; pork,
$4S0,93S; milk, sG4792G; lumber, s2,-
001,214.
The shipment of rice to Cuba is an
entirely new feature in our export
trade. the total value of the rice sent
to that island in 1904 being but Sl72,-
707; and in 1903, but s15 while the to-
tai for 1905 was SS45,049.
BY far the larger group of articles in
the exports to Cuba is that of iron and
steel manufactures, of which the total
in 1905 was sS,4S4 ,267.

you shall live your own life until such
time as you can truly feel that you
love me as you once did. l want to be
you, Constance. May l? May l have
the room next to your uncle's?"
"Yes."
And will you try to love me again?"
he asked gently, yet with an eagerness
he could not quite conceal.
Love cannot be forced" she an
swered
But it will come in time If you will
let it."
But suddenly, evidently recollecting
some resolution he had made, he
checked himself and said no more,
while Constance sat idly turning over
the leaves of book until she saw the
bank officers coming up the street.
Then she arose to go.
President Hartwell and eight trus-
tees, with Tony Osborn, soon entered.
The new cashier, or treasurer, was not
present.
Mr.. Hamilton'S manner was very
cordial and easy. Well as the several
gentlemen thought they knew him,
they were not prepared for so much
composure and freedom from nervous
ness. A rumor of lost identity as the
sequel of his mysterious absence had
already reached them, early as it was
in the day; and they were. therefore,
prepared to listen without Interrupt
tions or exclamations, until he had
finished the tale up to the awakening
of his dormant perceptive faculties,
which had occurred, he said, but a
short time previous to his return.
There was silence of many seconds
ere any one spoke. At last Mr. Hart
well said, cautiously:
did you say your memory had re-
turned to yon?"
Not fully. l remember all of my
past life, think, now, with the excep-
tion of the brief time when the sus-
pension in my ordinary faculties took
place"
You came to yourself in Seattle
you say?"
"Yes."
Can you give us addresses there
where we may be able to learn corrob-
ative facts. Mr.. Hamilton?"

where everything is changed. Mem
ory is thing apart from conscious
ness. 1t is said to be function of
matter to be impressed with its own
actions. When an action has been re-
peated many times, or even once,
strongly, the memory of it becomes
stamped upon little cell of the brain
and the stamp dominates the cell.
When the stimulant again comes, the
cell reacts as it formerly has done.
Now here comes the point in question.
When the stimulant fails, from over
work or worry or other powerful
causes, the cell is useless, the memory
is gone, while other cells continue ac-
tive, perhaps more so than formerly"
Science as applied to a bank rob-
berry was something new and startling
to the others. What might not man
do under these conditions? Atavism
was less strange to consider. And yet
was it not true that human reason was
often insufficient to set against the
commonest delinquency? The gentle
men sitting about the table were non
plussed, all but Mr.. Taylor, who lad
faith in his theory. He, evidently. be-
lieved Mr.. Hamilton's statement.
But" said he, "in the present state
of society there are no provisions
made for this sort of lapse, outside OF
insanity, and man so afflicted can do
no less than suffer the consequences
Of his acts, however they may have
occurred. At least it is not fair for
others to suffer. The money, if taken
by your own hand, should be refund
ed and"

ton"

otherwise composed. "As l said, |
court the closest inquiry. Points may
be evolved which may make it clearer
to myself. thank Mr.. Taylor for his
confidence in me, or, rather, for his
belief in my statement"
you must not think we doubt It,"
said the president, more mildly, "be-
cause we say less. There is no other
course open but to let the matter go
into natural issue. Too much has
already transpired.''
you are right, without doubt" said
Hamilton. But you must see that to
one, who has been ignorant of any stir,
who returns to his home, imagining
everything to be in its normal condA<
ton, and who is first confronted by his
own monument, then these suspicious,
it is sufficiently confusing"
Certainly it is" said Mr.. Taylor;
though, undoubtedly, Mr.. Hastings is
right" mentally thinking that spe-
cialist on mental arrangements would
most likely be summoned, and the in
vestigation be no less interesting and
profitable than necessary.

The children had now retired and
the three sat alone together.
Il went on business. Did I not tell
you so?"
Yes, you told me so; but that does
not explain why you went away every
May since our marriage and stayed
two weeks. You know and l know
that there was secret reason for
your going"
"The same reasons for not telling
you are still in force. The secret is
not my own. If it were l would tell
you. But the time will come when l

She did not answer.

He started to his feet as if stung by
her words, but was calm in a moment,
and answered reasonably and kindly.
"Is not the defect in you, Constance?
I see none in myself. l feel the same
toward you. 1t is you who are chang

He arose and looked for his hat and
gloves.

She bowed her head and murmured

soon as he was gone.
