A MODERN SOUP STONE.
And Word About the Treatment Of
the Ills of Old Age.
From the Argo1aut.

From the Argonaut.
The Medical Times of New York holds
out to mankind new beacon OF hope in
the form of an article by DR.. Samuel G..
cracy, promising cure through electric
ity for the ills of old age. 1t is the arte-
RES, DR.. Tracy points out, that first show
the symptoms of senility. When their
Walls lose elasticity a man is growing
cid. The cause of the hardening of ths
arteries is an impure condition of tha
tiood, and it is here that DIR Tracy sug-
gests that the electric battery shall get in
its beneficent work. A treatment which
DR.. Tracy proposes through use of a hy-
trek coil-whatever that may be-"bom-
tards the patient with milliois of oscilla-
lions per second There is IN elaborate
statement of how the thing Is to be done.
winding up with this significant remark:
This treatment must be seconded by
strict attention to diet and hygiene"
This last suggestion throwsa world OF
light upon the whole matter and at the
same time reminds us of tory which
was current in well ordered nurseries
about 45 years ago. 1t was astory of d
vagabond who begged the privilege of
making soup over the kitcheI fire of i
cottage from a smooth stone which he
carried in his pocket. First hebegged Of
the kind cottage wife the use q her fire;
then he borrowed a kettle; Their he asked
for some water, for an old bonethat hap
rened to be lying about for some vege-
tables, for a pinch of salt and Tor what
rot essential to the making oil rich
soup. When the decoction was dbne and
eaten the soup stone was orefully
dried and returned to the pocket of this
srtist in beggary to serve some future &C.
casons. Dr. Tracy's electric scheme is,
we suspect, much like this soup stone,
since, given ''strict attention to die and
hygiene" the rest Is always easy In
Truth if there is anything the matter with
a man which "strict attention to dietand
hygiene will not cure his family nay
just as well brush up their black clothes.

The Memory His Life Hath Left.

BY Julia Nicely Finch.
AZ the breath of a roses perfume
That lingerss within a room
When the rose is shattered and dead'

OF sky with clouds o'er-spread;
AS the warmth by hearthstone sneo
From whence the flame hath fled
And the spring we love TO, remember
Brooding beside the dim ember,
The ashes of dull November.
AS the sun beneficent bland
that bourgeois and blesses the lana;
AS the touch of a vanished nand,

That the heart may summon at VIII;
AS all things precious and pure;
All things immortal and pure
That the soul may treasure, bereIt
