preparations actually made deaf people
hear again.
In addition to. this work Cooper ad-
vauced the theory that stomach trouble
Is the foundation of nine out Of ten
diseases and claimed to have prepara-
tion that would restore the stomach to
working order and thus get rid OF such
troubles as rheumatism and affections
of the kidneys and liver, In about two
weeks time,
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep
aration and now all Cincinnati is ap-
parently mad over the young man.
His headquarters resemble veri-
table stampede. Thousands Of people
are visiting him each day, and the
druggists are selling his medicines in

What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he prac-
tices extensive charitable work and has
already dispensed small fortune among
the poor of the city.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems to be no sign of
a let-up. Reputable physicians claim it
to be fad that will die out as soon as
Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, 1t must
be said that he scenes to have accom-
plished great deal for the sick OF this
city with his preparations.

ANIMAL EpIcuREs.
The Crab Eating Raccoon and Peeui.

What made the crab eating raccoon

out artificial assistance of any kind.
Doubtless the popularity originated in
the shore freuuenting habits of the
species, and being delicate feeder,
the succulence of the crab. once crack
ed, was an obvious inducement to re-
new his acquaintance on every possi-
BILE occasion. Originally probably a
fruit eater, the raccoon is inquisitive
and dainty, both strong incentives to
experiments in diet When an indi-
vidual sees small object lie does not
understand. his actions fall under
three headings. He first puts the
article to close scrutiny. both with his
eyes and that supercllious upturncd
nose of his; then he takes 1t away and
washes it-a very Characteristic action
of this water loving animal-and final
ly puts 1t to the grand test of eatable-
ness or otherwise. If it appears un-
palatable, he gives it to his wife. In
this way 1t is easy to imagine how the
creek loving coon, wearying of too
much fruit, made his first crab supper
and, though he has never been able to
add squeeze of lemon or brown
bread and butter to the repast, has be-
come n confirmed lover of crustacea
ever since. All creatures make expert
ments of the sort and occasionally car
ry them on until they become a fixed
habit, and their whole structure Is
modified in accordance. Nature, for
Instance, never intended the osprey to
live on fish. 1t was the temptation of
an old world trout In difficulties in
the shadows that first led the great
hawk astray. Some small Brazilian
monkeys, again, live almost exclusive
ly on birds eggs, an Australian parrot
has given up proper vegetarian diet
for an exclusive regimen of mutton,
and many other instances of the same
unorthodox appetites might be cited.

Grim Joke In a Blue Book.

A grim piece Of humor appears in
the British blue book dealing with the
taxation of unimproved land values in
the colonies. The tax commissioner of
Adelaide, after referring to the mac

'Slde by side with these inaccurate
returns 1t has been pleasing to note

Of the East contradicted this statement,
claiming the thing to be impossible but
the facts seemed to bear out this state

In consequence people focked to him
by thousands and his preparations sold
like wildfire.
Many of these stories we're regarded
as fictions in Cincinnati and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
