WORK HEALS MANY
CHRONIC DISEASES

Some interesting experiments conducted
at the state institution at Mauer Och
ling have completely demonstrated the
great value OF work as a means OF heal
Ing In various forms OF chronic illness.
especially in mental and nervous disor-
ders.- alcoholism and epilepsy
Under the supervision OF Dr. Starlnger,
the chief OF the institution, says a Vienna
correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette,
no less than 81 per cent OF the patients
are employed In farm, dairy and garden
work, while others turn their attention
10 mechanical trades, including the pro-
duction of a newspaper, which is printed
and also largely written by the inmates.
IL has been found that the mentally af-
fected and those suffering from alcohol
ism make the most willing and efficient
workers. Work has a quieting influence
and renders the patients much mofe sat-
lshed
The favorable effect on their physical
condition Is shown from the fact that the
number OF deaths from tuberculosis has
steadily decreased since the introduction
or the work treatment although the num-
Der OF patients has constantly increased.
one other good effect OF tho work treat
ment Is that the general public Is found to
lose much OF their dread of asylums when
they see the patients engaged In some
useful occupation

IN THE HIGHLANDS

In the Highlands. In the country places
Where the Old plain men have rosy faces
And the young fair maiden's
Quiet eyes;
Where essential silence cheers and
blesses
And for ever in the hill recesses
Her more lovely music
Broods and dies.
o to mount again where erst I haunted
Where the old red hills are bird-enchanted
And the low green meadows
Bright with sward:
And when even dies, the million tinted.
And the night has come and planets
glinted.

Lamp-bestarred!

There. and with delight to take and

Through the trance OF silence.

Only the winds and rivers
Life and death.

A TIMELY AND MOST
VALUABLE STATEMENT

The Woman's Pennsylvania s. p. G. A
is out with timely and valuable state
ment calculated to prevent unnecessary
alarm and suffering of human beings as
we'll as of animals. 1t is commended by
many OF our famous physicians. A part
of II follows herewith:
1t has been observed with regret that
numerous sensational stories concerning
alleged mad dogs and the terrible results
to human beings bitten by them are pub
lished from time to time. Such accounts
frighten people into various nervous dis
orders and cause brutal treatment of ami
mails suspected OF madness: and yet there
Is upon record great mass of testimony
from physicians asserting the extreme
rarity OF hydrophobia even in the dog,
while many medical men of wide expert
ence are of the opinion that IL IL develops
In human beings at all IL Is only on ex-
tremely rare occasions; that the condition
OF observation-disclosures in man described
as 'hydrophobia" Is merely a series OF
symptoms, due usually 10 a dread of the
disease, such dread being caused by real
istic reports acting upon the imaginations
OF persons scratched or bitten by animals
suspected OF rabies
The late DIR. Hiram Corson. whose prac-
tice extended over a period Of seventy
years, during which time he searched dill
gently TOT the disease IN man or ANIMAL
wrote under date of Jan. Is. 1906: 1T have
never had real case OF hydrophobia."
Dr. Traill Green. a physician like DIR.
Corson. accurate in observation. careful
in statement, and whose practice also ex
tended over a Ion gperiod, wrote under
date OF Jan. %, 1896: II have never had
case OF hydrophobia, nor have I ever
seen case In the practice OF other ply
sicians."
DR.. Matthew Woods, who has been In
quest of the disease for 20 years, and who
during two summers personally visited
every case reported In Philadelphia, as
serts that he never saw hydrophobla
either in man or animal, and although six
years ago at the conclusion OF a paper
on the subject read before a large audi
ence, he offered 800 to any person bring
ing him such patient. yet so far no one
has claimed the reward.
DR. Charles w. Dulles. who has corre-
sponded on the subject with most OF the
distinguished medical men of Europe
physician familiar both with the litera-
ture OF rabies, the history ofPasteur and
the institutions called by his name, and
who In addition has performed the almost
incredible task OF investigating either per-
sonally or by correspondence. with the
physicians or others In attendance
every case reported In the newspapers
OF the United States for the past 16 years
believes that hydrophobia is extremely
rare, having after 16 years OF investiga-
tion failed to find single case on record
that can be conclusively proved to have
resulted from the bite of a dog.

Western Editors Appeal

The following appeal OF Western edi-
tor says Evefybody's Magazine, Is still
going the rounds, although II is TO be
hoped that by this time the writer's only
trouble Is In having his vest made large
enough
I'VE see by an esteemed contemporary
that n young lady In Chicago II so par
tcular that she kneads bread with her
gloves on. What OF that? The editor of
this paper needs bread with his coat on

colthes on. And n some of ihs creditors
don't pay up pretty quick. he'll need
