Worked to Death.

The late Henry Harland is said to
have received $4,000 from one of his
novels. His method of work accounts
for his premature death. When the
desire to write came upon him in 1884
he occupied minor place in the sur
rogate's office in New York, where his
hours were so long that he found lit
tie time for literary labor. In order
to lengthen the ordinary day he re-
tired directly after dinner and slept
until 1 o'clock in the morning, when
he arose and after drinking a large
cup of black coffee wrote steadily un-
til breakfast time. 1t was under such
circumstances that he wrote his first
stories of Jewish life over the pen
name of Sidney Luska"

ARMENIAN DIED HERo's DEATH.
Made Splendid Defense of His Resi-.
dence at Baku.

Made Splendid Defense of His Resi-.
dence at Baku.
Adamoff was an Armenian hero of
Baku. The author of a recent volume
on that city has this to say of him.
'Adamoff was the crack rifle shot in
Baku, one Of the wealthiest Armeni-
ans engaged in the oil business, and
his residence in Arnianskia street was
one of the palaces of the city, so far
as the magnificence of the oriental
decoration was concerned. He stood
a three days siege and shot no fewer
than forty Tartars, who, on the last
day, formed heap of dead at the cor
ner of the street. Adamoff was kept
supplied with cartridges by his young
son, who got shot in that service.
And then Adamoff himself was hit on
the balcony of his house, whence he
had so long defended it. Receiving a
shot in the shoulder, the deadly
marksman dropped his rifle on to the
railing of a balcony, but, nerved with
the courage of despair and determined
to sell his life still more dearly, he
continued shooting. His movements
became slow, the Tartars become
more aggressive, and he finally re-
ceived a fatal wound which laid him
low on the balcony"

His Theories Concerning Medicine

His Theories Concerning Medicine
and Physicians.
DR.. William Osler writes: Man has
an Unborn craving for medicine. Hero
ic dosing for several generations has
given his tissues a thirst for drugs.
AS l once before remarked, the desire
to take medicine is one feature which
distinguishes man, the animal, from
his fellow creature. 1t is really one
Of the most serious difficulties with
which we have to contend. Even in
minor ailments, which would yield to
dieting or to simple home remedies,
the doctors visit is not thought to be
complete without the prescription.
OF the cultured physician he says:
I'm no profession does culture count
for so much as in medicine, and no
man needs it more than the general
practitioner, working among all sorts
and conditions of men, many of whom
are Influenced quite as much by his
general ability, which they can appre-
ciate, as by his learning, of which they
have no measure
DR.. Osler advises physicians to
walk with the young: 81 would urge
the clinical physician, as he travels
farther from the east, to look well to
his companions-to see that they are
not of his own age and generation
He must walk with the boys he
must travel with the men who are do
ing the work of the world, the men
between the ages of 25 and 40"

Tobacco Iniures Soldiers

Britain wants better marksmen in
its armies, but many people claim that
the increasing use of cigarettes among
the soldiers is defeating this ambi.
ton. The duke of Wellington would
not allow smoking in any form. His
famous order ran as follows: ''The
commander in chief has been inform
ed that the practice of smoking pipes
and cigars and cheroots has become
prevalent among the army, which is
not only in itself a species of intoxica-
ton occasioned by the fumes of tobac-
co, but undoubtedly occasions drink
ing and tippling by those who acquire
the habit" The order went on to beg
officers to prevent smoking among the
officers of junior ranks in their regi-
ments.

Wilfrid Lawson is the recognized poet
laureate of the British parliament. He
is always on the lookout for Incl
dents" the little episodes that enliven
the dull routine of parliamentary life
and that lend themselves to utilization
as couplet or a Quatrain. His ex-
temporaneous verses make a circuit
of the house to an accompaniment of
subdued chuckles. They are some
times handed by a minister to the
speaker, who reads them with a pro-
fessionally dignif1ed countenance and
then pays them the compliment of a
momentary twinkle of his awful eye.

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.

Terrible ScaIy Humor in Patches All
Over the Body-Skin Cracked and
Bieedinq-Cured by Cuticura.
81 was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. I used three cakes
ment and two bottles of Resolvent. In
thirty days 1 was completely cured,
and l think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made it's appearance in red spots,
generally forming circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off, To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them the
flesh would be perfectly raw, and a
light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four
hours 1t was worse on my arms and
limbs, although it was in spots all over
my body, also on my scalp. If l let
the scales remain too long without
removing by bath or otherwise, the
skin would crack and bleed. l suf-
fered intense itching, worse at nights
after getting warm in bed, or blood
warm by exercise, when it would be
almost unbearable. W. NJ. Chidester,
