400 KNOWN DISEASES.
The Eye Alone is Subject to Forty
Eight Distinct Affections.
(Chicago Journal.) }

A German physician who has a
bent for statistics is responsible for
the statement that the human frame
Is liable to 100 diseases. If he is
correct one can but marvel at how
few Of these ailments the average
person manages to contract during a.
lifetime.
The eye alone is subject to no less
than AZ distinct and different afcec-
tions. Considering It's apparent yul-
nerability to contagion it escapes
with great good luck, but In reality
1t is not as exposed as at first thought
would seem. The eyelids are auto
matte In their protection of the eve
ball, and the first instinct is to snap
shut when blow Is directed toward
them. Incidentally they "oii" the
eye and keep its surface free from
dust, etc.
1t is for the good of the numan
race that sthe practice of medicine
has changed during the last twenty
hye years. Formerly there was a
specific remedy for each disease. and
the poor patient was almost drugg
to death. Nowadays physicians rec
ognize that healing is a matter of
restoring normal conditions, and
more attention Is given to favorable
influences Of mind and surroundings
and less to medicine.
The German doctors figures are
rather appalling, but the daily pro-
gre 80 OF he science of health and

Der or dangerous diseases, and ulti-
mately may eliminate them. Study
and experiment have marched far.
tuberculosis, the white plague, will
be fought to a standstill within a
Few years, the average standard of
health and strength will be raised
and the average duration of life will
be prolonged.
Thus medicine wins greater yicto-
rles In the science of prevention than
1t ever won In the science of healing.

DEATH is PAINLESS,
1t Comes AS Naturally and Is As
Welcome AS Sleep.

The fear Of death, which has been
so enormously exploited in dramatic
literature, sacred and otherwise, Is
said to be almost without existence
In sickness. Most patients have lost
1T completely by the time they be-
come seriously i'll.
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to Dr. Woods Hutchinson
In the American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their ap-
proach. IT Is one Of the most merci-
full things in nature that the over
whelming majority of the poisons
which destroy life, whether they are
those Of infectious diseases or those
which are elaborated from the body 8
own waste products, act as narcotics
and abolish consciousness long before
the end comes.
While death Is not In any sense
analogous to sleep, 1t resembles it to
the extent taht 1T Is in the vast ma
Jority of instances not only not pain
full, but welcome. Pain racked and
fever scorched patients long for
death as the wearied toiler longs for
sleep.
While many Of the processes which
lead to death are painful, death itself
is painless, natural, like the fading
Of flower or the falling of a leaf.
Our dear ones drift out on the ebbing
tide of life without fear without
pain, without regret, save for those
they leave behind. When death
comes close enough so that we can
see the eyes behind the mask, his
face becomes as welcome as that of
his twin brother" sleep.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Dizziness Follows Arrest of Downward
Price Movement.

New York, May Enclosures were
taken in the stock market today to ar
rest the violent drain into which the
price movement had run on Saturday.
After these had been made effective
the proceedings became dun and unin-
terestng and almost barren of event
The attractive profits on the bear side
which had accrued as a result of the
end week break and It's extension this
morning proved an incentive to short
covering and considerable demand for
that account contributed to the purpose
TO check the fall and support prices.
The first hours business was active UNI
der the mixed influence of additional
liquidation preclpitated by the preyt.
Gus decline, heavy supporting orders
the large demand from the short inter
est After the first convulsive rebound
from the opening weakness dealings
showed a marked shrinkage in volume
Disposition was lacking, apparently, to
follow the advance with buying orders.
When prices wavered from time to
time and selling orders seemed to be
growing, support was again asserted
and the movement soon brought to n
standstill. The days news had little di-
rect bearing on the market action. Lon
don was free seller Of stocks here in
the first half OF the day. and this was
pointed to as a reflection of the un-
favorable view taken by foreign inves-
tors in American securities of the new
activity of the government against
railroad corporations signalizcd in the
| New Haven suit, Less was heard Of
that subject in the local discussion, es-
pecally after prices Of stocks had
steadied. The special strength shown
by Delaware g. Hudson was founded
on a report that that company was to
take over the New Haven's holdings
Of Boston and Maine stock, which are
objected to in the government suit.
There was squirt in Brooklyn Transit
in face Of the opening recession in the
general list due to the veto on Saturday
of the bill to enforce fve-cent fare
