Modern Mutual Aid.

There has been much stress laid by
writers and speakers on the fact that
poverty-even with us in these prosper
GUS times, as we call them-is extreme
1t is said that there are millions in this
country that are near to starving, while
the parade of London's half-starved and
unemployed has been commented on
galore. American Medicine says: Civ
iliZation is l-1iQStly blamed for poverty,
for Investigations into ancient condi-
tons show them to be far worse than
present ones. Even as late as the time
of Henry VIII. poverty was so extreme
and extensive with its accompanying
diseases that the average duration of
life was only half what it is now Mod
ern laborers live in a condition which
would then have been considered ex-
treme luxury. The only difference be-
tween old and new times is the fact that
formerly there was NO help extended to
those in temporary need of it, while now

periods of starvation are the rule; in

conceivable form of operation, which

ENGLISRMEN IN DUELS.
Some of the Famous Men Who Have
Fought with Swords and
Pistols.

The earl of Kimberley's much dis
cussed challenge to Col. Sapwell is a
reminder that though the days of duel
ing are considered to have passed in
England, the fighting spirit will still
break out on occasions, says the Lon
don Express.
Not so very long ago Mr.. Winston
Churchill was challenged to an en-
counter a Ioutrance by an irate con-
stituent at Oldham. One hesitates to
think what would have happened had
Mr.. Churchill had leisure enough to
resume his martial role.
Lord Beaconsfield once challenged
O'COnnell to a duel, but the famous
statesman found himself bound over to
keep the peace in a police court in
stead of departing across the channel
to blow out the brains of his political
opponent.
OConnell himself fought duel with
member of the Irish house of COM
mons named D'Esterre and killed mis-
opponent.
Another fatal duel was that in which
Lord Camelford, one of the most con-
firmed duellists of his day and a man
who had the death of more than one
fellow creature on his hands, was
killed by Mr.. Best. Both were excel
lent shots, and one of the two pistols
used was supposed to be slightly more
perfect than the other. A piece of
money was tossed up to decide the
choice. Best won. and in the result
Lord Camelford fell mortally wounded
The last duel fought in Ireland was
between a mayor OF Sligo and a mem
Der of the legal profession, but hon
ors were declared easy, for nothing
happened.
Mr.. Tierney charged Pitt with Job
structing the defenses of the country"
and that oratorical observation sound
ed so terrible in the ears of the emf
nent statesman that he sent his Sec
onds to Mr.. Tierney.
The two met at three O'Clock one
Sunday morning at Putney cath, not
far from the Kingston road, fired two
shots at each other and then returned
home quite well for breakfast.
Charles James Fox, Pitts brilliant
rival. took occasion to make some
scathing observations on the powder
supplied by the war Office and prompt
~ received challenge from Mr.. Ad-
ans. Fox accepted. the duel was
fought and the statesman was wound

said on that lamentable occasion. sI

Wife-Beating Checked

The whipping post law enacted by
the Oregon legislature of 1905 is be-
ieved' by its friends to have accom-,
plished its purpose. Wife beating,
they say, is almost stopped in Oregon.
The law went into effect on May IS
last. Twenty lashes is the maximum
penalty that can be imposed. 1t is
optional with the court whether con-
victed wife beaters shall be sentenced
to the whipping post or confined in
Jail. There have been only three in.
hictions of the penalty since the law
was enacted. A month after the law
went into effect Portland waiter was
arrested for beating his wife. He was
sentenced to receive 20 lashes. He
was taken to the Multnomah county
jail, the upper part of his body was
barred and his hands were handcuffed
together and tied to the top of a cell
door. Then the Jail struck him 20
cowhide stock with four buckskin
thongs. This made every lash really
four blows on the body. The whip
ping. the first of it's kind in the west,
attracted wide attention, and it made
troublesome husbands fearful. The
man whipped left Portland as soon
as he was at liberty. An employe of
the Southern Pacific car shops in
Portland was sentenced in August to
receive ten lashes. His wife sued for
divorce while he was in Jail awaiting
trial, but after he had received the
whipping and was at liberty he eff
fected a reconciliation and the wife
withdrew her complaint. The wife
beaten was discharged from his en-
ployment, and being unable to get
other work, left the city. The only
other man to be whipped was former
postmaster of Baker City, Ore, and
the penalty was imposed in Baker
county. He received 20 lashes. An
attempt was made under the terms
of the law to whip man who had as
saulted his divorced wife, but as the
woman was not then his wife the
courts held that the penalty could not
be inflicted. He was sentenced to one
year on the rock pile. Judge George
J. Cameron, of the municipal court OF
Portland. says that men were fire.
QuenLly charged with wife beating
few months ago, but now it is a rare
occurrence. He believes the whip
ping post law is responsible for the
change.

MEDICAL EREVITIES.

Women are to be admitted to be
doctors of medicine by the University
of Prague, which, however, refuses to
admit them as doctors of philosophy.
At recent session of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, NJ. Chauffard
stated that in many patients treated
by N-rays for cancer of the tongue, the
growth had become rapidly dissem-
seminated. The academy adopted his
conclusion that medical men alone
should have the right to use X-rays
for treatment.
One of the most important causes of
disease, according to Prof Macfaydyen
of London is the inhalation of parti-
cles of dust in the streets of cities. He
holds that the dust not only often con-
tains the germs of disease, but that
it has a deletarious effect upon the
respiratory organs, through mechan-
ical irritation.
DR.. Klein, F. R. S., has communicat.
ed to the British government the dis
covery that dried tissues of animals
dead of plague, in which the bacili
originally present have been killed by
desiccation, nevertheless retain the
power of communicating the disease
to animals into which they are in.
jected, and which die with all the
symptoms of plague, but without
themselves containing any bacilli.

A NECESSARY EVIL.
Experience Of a Minister Who Tried
to Think That Of Coffee.

GA descendant of the Danes, a ma
ton of coffee drinkers, l used coffee
freely till 1 was 20 years DID," writes
a clergyman from Iowa. AT that time
l was a student at Biblical Institute
and suddenly became aware of the fact
that my nerves had become democrat
lied, my brain dull and sluggish and
that insomnia was fastening it's hold
upon me.
things came from the coffee l was
drinking, but at last was forced to that
conclusion, and quit it.
Il was SO accustomed to a hot table
beverage and felt the need of it SO
much, that after abstaining from cof-
fee for a time and recovering my
health, l went back to it. I did this
several times, but always with disas-
trous results. l had about made up my
mind that coffee was a necessary evil.
about this time friend told me
that I would find Postum Food Coffee
very fine and in many respects away
ahead of coffee. So bought some and,
making it very carefully according to
the directions, we were delighted to
find that he had not exaggerated in the
least. From that day to this we have
liked it better than the old kind of
coffee CT anything else in the way of
a table drink.
Its use gave me, in very short
time, an increase in strength, clear
ness of brain and steadiness of nerves;
and sleep. restful and restoring, came
back to me.
81 am thankful that we heard of
Postum, and shall be glad to testify
at any time to the good it has done

Finally the trainer formed the whole
herd into a grand pyramid, with old
Bolivar in the center, each elephant
holding an American flag with mis-
trunk. and waving it, and the audience
broke out into a cheer that fairly
ripped the canvass.
Then l said to young Mr.. Senator:
Come on with your rats. now, and 1
win $50" All hands picked up the
baskets and bags and went to the side
of the ring and emptied the whole
bunch of more than 500 into the ring.
The rats and mice rushed for the eIe-
plants, and then turned and male a
rush for the reserved seats.

they wouldn't head off. They were
