CLAIMS TO CURE ALL ILLS.
Scotch Minister Announces Discovery
of Remarkable Germicide.

A claim of an astounding nature is
put forward by a minister whose field
of work lies within the bounds of the
city of Glasgow, Scotland. He has dis
covered a germicide by the application
of which he can cure every kind of in
fictitious, loathsome, and incurable dis
ease, even when considered, humanity
speaking, hopeless. He has demon
strated to his own satisfaction that
hospitals for infectious diseases are
quite unnecessary, and that surgical
operations except on the battlefield or
in railway or other accidents, are total
ly uncalled for. No operation is need
ed, according to him, for appendicitis,
for example, as 1t can be perfectly
well cured by the germicide. The dis
coverer of the germicide has published
list Of the names of so patients, with
their addresses, whom he says he has
cured, or Is in process of curing, even
in some cases, after they had received
their death warrant" from medical
practitioners.

Sheep RAISING In Australia.

The greatest industry of Australia
is sheep raising, mainly for the sake
Of the wool, but also in part, of
course, for the meat. Australia now
ranks second among the great sheep
raising countries, Argentina being
first with 100000 sheep, Australia
second with 100000, and Russia
third with 100000. Only a few
years ago Australia was first, pos
sessing no less than LOG, 100000 head
of sheep. That was in 1891. Pro
longed droughts were the cause of the
destruction of many millions of Aus
tralian sheep, but since 1902 there
has been an annual gain. Yet these
sheep were not Indigenous to Aus
tralia. They were first introduced in
1897, being of the Spanish merino
species.

There should be some means where
by our halls of justice should not be
turned into show places where the SEN
sation lovers go to crafty their NOR
bid love of crime and its details. To
have court room packed with curios-
ity-maddened spectators to drink in
the tales of sin and misery forced
from the lips of unhappy witnesses is
certainly not conducive to a high
state of public morals. The courts
are for a higher and sterner purpose
than to serve as places of entertain
ment for a depraved popular taste.
The way in which the court room in
New York where the Thaw case is
being tried is packed by the morbid,
like crowd of hungry crows after
carton, is, declares the Baltimore
American, disgrace to the proper
and dignified course of law and JUS
tice.

owed him, and a judgment was re-
