Dr. Blanco, who was very wealthy, was eduacted in Paris, and lived for years in the different capitals of Europe For d number of years he enjoyed a most luera tive practice in Madrid. His affluence in that capital was due 10 a peculiar In cldent. While attending services in a cathedral at which was present the Queen Mother of King Alfonso, when the bishop officiating was suddenly stricken with an attack of syncope. Dr. Blanco saved the prelate's life and was thenceforth shown royal favors. Dr. Eeheverria was also educated in Europe and was wealthy. His brother was a lawyer and large plantation owner.
 Civil Engineer Rodil, who was wealthy. was a brother of the man in front of whose house was placed the mine which wa sexploded.

Colds and Bald Heads.

A baldheaded physician said: i used
to be dreadfully subject to colds even
In the summer. I hadsto wear a black
skuflcap all the time The minute !
took it off began to sneeze and
wheeze But now for a year have
not once worn a skullcap, and have
not once had a cold. Why, I could go
and stand bareheaded in a snowstorm
without any i'll effect. MY Immunity
to colds comes from this: Every morn
ing I put my head under the cold wa
ter spigot and let the cold water run
for a minute on my bald crown. This
Is refreshing thing, and since be
gan to do it have never had cold."

civil authority" but without success.
Finally he was told that he would be
taken from the chancel the next Sun

prayer.
