FOOD HIGH IN INDIA.

In a report commenting on the UNI
rest in India, the United States consul
general at Calcutta ascribes the reason
for much of the dissatisfaction to the
high prices of foodstuffs. He says:
During the last three years the har-
vests in Eastern Bengal and Assam
have been considered poor, especially
the rice crop, which is the staple food
of the laboring and poor classes. In
1904 one rupee (32 cents) would buy
twenty-six pounds of rice, whereas in
1906 it would buy only ten pounds,
and in 1907 about eight pounds. Thus
the Indian, whose main subsistence is
rice, has to pay nearly three times as
much for that article now as he did in
1904. For the most part his wages have
not increased at all, and where wages
have been advanced not a single in
stance can be found where the in
crease has been three times. The food
grain crops of 1907 promise to be very
large, and it will be interesting to note
any tendency to return to the prices Of
food grains, especially rice, that pre-
vailed three years ago, and what eff
feet, if any, this return to normal
prices will have on the condition Of
unrest in Eastern Bengal and Assam"

AGES OF ENGLIsH KINGS.

It is satisfactory for his subjects to
note how high in the list of aged
monarchs comes King Edward. Not
many British monarchs, indeed, have
reached King Edwards age, says
P. T. o. Of those who have sat on the
throne these thousand years only four
have reached the psalmist's span Of
life, and all four have belonged to the
house of Hanover, of which house
King Edward is the seventh king. This
quartet was composed of Queen Vic
toria, William w, George III. and
George II.
Elizabeth died just short of 20,
James II. and Edward I. were 6S, and
Henry III. and Edward III. were So.
Edward the Confessor stands out
among the Danes and Saxons for his
age. He was the only one of fifteen
monarchs, ruling England for more
than 200 years, who reached the age
of 81.
Besides these, only ten rulers have
reached the Cos. Nine have died in
the SOS, nine in the 40s, and four in
the S0s. Two have been under age
when death took them-Edward W,
who died at 49, before he was crowned,
and Edward VI, who was 16 when his
short reign ended.

SHE HYPNoTIzED HERSELF.

Writing to a London paper, medi-
cal man tells this story: "A remark
able incident happened recently at a
London dental hospital A young
woman went there to have five teeth
extracted. The anesthetic decided up
on by the dental surgeon was ethyl
chloride, and this was administered
by the usual form of apparatus. An
india rubber cap is placed over the
patients mouth and nostrils, and con-
nected with it is bag into which a
sealed capsule of ethyl chloride is in
troduced. By the turning of a screw
from the outside the capsule is broken
and the anesthetic liberated. The
screw was turned, the patient went off
gradually into the usual condition Of
insensibility, five teeth were extracted,
and the patient awakened without feel
ing any part of the operation. The
whole case appeared perfectly normal.
Only when the young woman had left
the room and the apparatus was be-
ing made ready for another patient
was it discovered that the capsule of
ethyl chloride had by some mfschance
not been broken at all. The whole
condition of insensibility had been
brought about by the self-hypnotism
of the patient. The idea that an
anesthetic was being administered was
so strong in her mind that she had
passed into insensibility entirely by
hypnotic suggestion"

THE VOYAGE OF A NEEDLE.

THE VOYAGE OF A NEEDLE.
The oldest man in Norfolk, Conn. is
Egbert 7. Butler, who is 80 years old,
and for seventy-f1ve of those ninety
years has had a needle travelling about
all over his body. Although Mr.. But
Ter says that he has never been sick
a day in his whole life, ne had often
been visited with strange pains in
various parts of his body. When the
pains came in his arms or legs he
thought they We're due to rheumatism;
when they came in his lungs or chest
he thought them pleurisy, and when
they came in his stomach he spoke Of
them as a ''crick." But the doctor
who took the needle from the old mans
foot said that all of these pains were
caused by the travels of the needle
for surgeons have found out that a
needle travels through flesh by going
alternately backward and forward,
like a railroad train switching. Thus
they were able to trace the course of
this needle, which passed twice very
close to the heart and through the
lungs. AT last it lodged in his foot,
and it was there the doctors found it..
''Weu, / declare" said the old. gentle
man when he saw it, and he @t once
remembered how when a child his
mother had been frightened because he
had swallowed a needle. 1t had re-
manned in his body for seventy-five
years.

LATEST FAD IN MEDICINE.


You Are Sick or Immune.
Immunity from Illness according to
the opsonic theory, the latest discovery
in medicine, was the subject Of DR..
Cleaveland Floyd's public lecture at
the Harvard Medical School recently.
The reason why one person will
come down with Sickness" said DR..
Floyd, while others living practically
In the same environment remain inn
mune, according to the opsonic theory,
is that the amount of serum and white
corpuscles In that persons blood Is
below normal.
THE body is being continually at
tackled In every portion by disease-pro-
ducing germs and organisms. When
ever any portion Is infected nature pro
vides that an increased amount Of
blood is sent to that spot
'This is easily seen In the redness
that surrounds boil or other form Of
infection.
Mature rarely does anything with
out purpose, and the reason why
more blood Is sent to the point Of at.
tack is that more white corpuscles and
more serum may reach the spot The
white corpuscles and serum are the
means which nature uses to drive out
infection.
THE serum, which Is the sticky,
clear, yellowish fluid often seen around
a scab, reduces the vitality Of the germ
or organism and the white corpuscles
gorge themselves with the germs, d.
costing and destroying them.
1t Is this feeding Of the white cor
puscles upon the germs Of bacteria that
gives the name to the theory. The
Latin word opsono means prepare food
for and the adjective opsonic conveys
that Idea of feeding on which the the
DRY Is based.
THE usual practice in treating dis
ease, according to the opsonic theory,
IS to Increase the amount of white
corpuscles and serum in the blood,
which Is done by incubation with anti
toxins and vacclnes.
''This form Of treatment has proved
very effective in skin diseases, diph-
iberia, typhoid and tuberculosis. 1t
also has produced speedy results IL
driving pus from the abdomen after
operations for appendicitis and In heal
ing running wounds and sores. "-Bos-

Milk Is one Of the most easily and
rapidly spoiled of food substances, yet
1t Is within comparatively few years
that any attempt has been made to get
it and keep 1t pure. Even to-day much
Of the milk sold in the larger cities con-
tains greater number Of bacteria in
given amount than the sewage Of the
same cities.
The bacteria are different In kind,
80 that their presence is not betrayed
in the same evident way, but they are
there, and some Of them may be of the
kind to cause disease-tuberculos ty-
phoid fever, scarlet fever and infantile
diarrh9a.
The addition Of antiseptics to the
milk Is not allowable. for the antisep-
tic Is In itself poison and although
1t is not in sufficient quantity to harm
at first, Its continued use is bad. and
may give rise to chronic disease of the
digestive organs or kidneys
Boiling milk for ten minutes will kill
all the contained bacteria, but the heat
alters its chemical constitution and d.
minishes Its nutritive value, 80 that
babies fed on it are apt to suffer from
ricketts, or scurvy. 1t has been found.
however, that 1t Is not necessary to
bring the milk to the boiling tempera-
ture, but that most Of the bacteria will
be destroyed If the milk is heated to
100 degrees and kept there for about
twenty minutes. Milk so treated has
a slightly different taste when warm.
but after 1t has cooled it is impossible
to distinguish it from raw" milk. and
its nutritive qualities are moreover not
materially affected.
The heating may be done by bringing
water In tin boiler to the boiling
point, then removing it from the fire
and letting it cool for a moment until
the thermometer indicates about $50
degrees. The milk, in bottles plugged
