Physicians Turning to Mental HEALING

Orison SWEET Marden in Success Magazine.
Many of our best physicians, who only
a few years ago ridiculed mental healing,
are beginning TO adopt the principle
so far as they know how-in their prac-
tice; especially the power OF suggestion.
They are finding that their patients are
often more affected by mental medicine,
by their calls" their encouragement and
good cheer, than by their pills. They are
finding, too, that the mental attitude Of
the patient has everything TO do with the
effect Of the disease, that IL often proves
the turning point in a critical crisis. The
result Of all this mental influence is a very
marked falling off in the use Of drugs.
Many of our leading physicians give but
very little medicine. because they have
very little faith in IL. 1t is now well
known that scores Of eminent physicians
employ metaphysical healing in their own
families and often for themselves. Even
the regular medical schools are taking up
the subject Of mental medicine In their
lecture courses.
Hampered as this great movement still
Is by the errors and e-xtravagances Of
over-zealous followers, and also by the
fraud of ch~arlatans, who take Advantage
of the opportunities II offers to impose
on the credulous and ignorant, there is
no doubt that the basic principle of this
metaphysical movement has opened up
many possibilities of mind building, char
acter building and body building. which
are destined TO bring untold blessings 20
the world.

Collect or Abolish Personal Taxes.

49, ~'~'
President Purdy, of the tax depart
ment says: 1T would be a great ad-
vantage 70 the city and TO the owners
of real property if the remnants of the
personal property tax were abolished. y
If the personal tax law is not to be en-
forced it certainly should be repealed.
Only conscientious persons and trustees
pay the personal tax now. Most rich
men escape. Their evasions are palp-
able in the fact that personal property
pays less than one-tenCh Of the taxes,
although everybody knows that the
personal wealth of New York's popula-
ton exceeds the real estate valuations.
The state inheritance, mortgage and
stock transfer taxes exceed in receipts
the personal tax collections of New
York city. This suggests a way in
which wealth IN the form of personality
can be made to pay it's share of the
public burdens. An inheritance and
an income tax for local purposes would
be collectable from the wicked as well
as from the conscientious.

ASlMPlE SAFEGUARD IN BUY
ING PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy 1t is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the mar
ket, which contain chalk, zinc, barytes,
and other cheap adulterants. Unless
the property owner takes advantage Of
the simple means of protection afford
ed him by reliable white lead manu-
factVrers, he uns great risk Of getting
an inferior and adulterated white lead.
1t is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that Ma,
tional Lead Company, the largest max.
ers of genuine Pure White Lead. place
their famous Dutch Boy Painter
trademark on every keg of their pro-
duct, an absolute guarantee OF its pur,
ity and quality. Anyone who wants to
make a practical test of white lead and
who wants a valuable free book about
painting, should address National Lead
Company. Woodbridge building, New
York, and ask for test equipment.

AN OCEAN LINERS CARGO.
Four Hundred Longshoremen Rush Day
and Night to Load One Ship.

fTOm august ENeTyDOug D.
Down on the wharm the rush was at
its height. Under the sputtering, blu-
ish arc lights, amid endless clang n
rumble, the produce of America came
In. From the prairies, the mines ana
the mills, from the forests, the cotton
plantations, tobacco fields, orchards and
vineyards, from the oil fields ana
meat packing houses, from the grlmy
factories large and small; ponderous
engines of steel, harvesters, reapers,
automobiles. bars of silver and yellow
bricks of gold, bales of cotton and
wool and hides and obacc meats,
barrels Of flour, and boxes or frult,
~hogsheads of oil and cask OF wine; tens
Of thousands of things and machines TO
make things-piled up on the wharf by
the acre. And still ali night the teams
clattered in and the tugs pufted up
with the barges; and from hundreds OF
miles away the trains were rushlnS
hithcr, bringing more X and bar
rels and bags to be packed / at the
last moment.
In gangs at every hatchway the 400
men were t%rundling, heaving, s~training,
a rough crowd, cursing and joking at
the hoarse shouts of the foreman;
while from the darkness outside, heavy
black rope nets dropped down TO gath
or gigantic handfuls of cargo, swing
them back up TO the deck of the ship
and then down into her hold. SO all
through the night and right up to the
hour Of sailing the rushing went on.
For h great ocean liners work is
worth hundreds Of thousands of dollars
a month. And the ship must sail on
time

Mr.. s~pofford,s MarveIous Memory.

From the New York Evening Post.
A more remarkable memory than
that Of the late Ainsworth r. Spofford
is not often recorded. OF untiring in
dustry and the widest knowledge he
could yet retain details in a way to
stagger every one who witnessed an
exhibition of his powers. In the days
of the old congressional library, when,
for lack Of space, books were piled up
tables and the floor, Mr.. Spofford could
tables and the floor. Mr.. S%pofford could
go 10 a pile and select the book he
wished with unerring accuracy. Nor
was this knowledge confined to his own
library. 1t is related of him that on
one occasion, after failing to satisfy
General Lew Wallace by giving him the
books on a certain subject in the con-
gressional library, he told the general
that the volume he ought to see was
in the Harvard library, and gave him
its title, library number, shelf num-
Der and the position the volume occu-
pied on the shelf-"sixth from the south
end"
If there is n exaggeration in this,
il is slight; and in addition to emo
izing such things, MI. Spofford had a
fairly encyclopedia knowledge on all
optics OF human interest. He himself
was for years the congressional library,
at least TO all intents and purposes,
and the number Of congressional n
senatorial speeches he Influenced would
run into h thousands. When the new
library was completed Mr.. Spofford's
services were retained. despite a lack
OF business instinct. And no govern
ment servant ever deserved more con-
sideration at it's hands.

A Machine for Building Cement Side
walks

One of the latest labor saving devices
is a machine that lays and finishes cement
sidewalks with remarkable rapidity. 1t
consists of a travelling mould n a winch
for pulling the mold ahead. The concrete
for the base Of the sidewalk is shoveled or
dumped into the front part Of the mold,
and the finishing mortar is shovelled or
dumped into the hopper at the middle of
the mold. This hopper is so designed that
it feeds q thin layer Of mortar on TO the
concrete base as the mold travels forward.
Thus a complete and perfect sidewalk is
delivered at the rear end Of the machine.
Nc skilled fnishers are required. No Ia
Dor is needed TO build forms. No men are
needed to lamp the concrete. In brief,
says Cement Age, New York, the process
is simply one of mixing the ingredients
and depositing them into the proper part
of the travelling mold. The mold does the
rest. With a properly organized gang, the
mold is kept travelling continuously at the
rate OF two feet per minute. The shape
Of the mold is such that the concrete is
squeezed both laterally and vertically in
to a dense block, which, as above stated,
requires no ramming, Perhaps the most
remarkable feature OF the mold is the per-
feet finish hat it gives to the sidewalk.
The walk looks as if it had been hand
finished with floats.

THE TYPICAL
JAPANESE HOME
Lack of Ornament and Extra
ordinary Cleanliness Make
Part of Charm.

From 'The "reminiscences of Lady Ran
dolph Churchill in the August Century.
We ended our Pleasant day by being
taken TO see the houses and gardens of
Mr.. Iwasaki, a magnate of Toxic, our
host having arranged the visit before
ham After a long drive in a landau,
which was driven by a Japanese coach
man CARRIED in a dark blue kimono and
mushroom hat. with a belto, or groom,
dressed in the same way, on the box,
we came 10 the two houses. One was
European, full of fine things, While the
other, in which the owner lived, was
japanese. Having removed our shoes, we
were taken over IT. / wish l could de-
scribe it's destinations; but where there
were no ornaments. no furniture, no pic
lures save a kakemono here and there,
no curtains, no color anywhere, II is diff
ficult to say wherein lay the charm.
And yet it was charming. The fneness
OF the mating, the beauty of
ship of the woodwork, the lacquer frames
of the screens, which were so adjusted
that they parted at a touch without a
sound, the extraordinary cleanliness every
where, and, above all, the different little
courts on which the rooms looked, were
delightful. The bathroom particularly
pleased me. Made of some light colored
wood, II shone like satin and felt Xix ii.
A delicate carving round the base OF
the wall, representing flights of birds,
formed a dado: two large wooden tubs of
the same wood stood at the end of the
room, encircled by brass bands beauti-
fully polished, and half a dozen tubs of
different sizes stood on a low table; the
window looked out upon a small court
with one large magnolia tree and a very
old gray stone lantern. Another room. a
sanctum sanctorum. where the tea cere-
monies were held, gave upon a wild scene
10 feet square, where jagged rocks, pritkly
bushes, and rushing torrents spanned by
stone bridges, made the urbanities and
rigid etiquette of these ceremonies appear
a pleasant contrast. The smoking room,
made by opening and closing a screen,
looked upon a lake artiicially and clever
ly planned, with beautiful trees and shrubs
on its banks, and rocks of trang and
varied colors. These rocks alone cost a
fabulous sum-, and had been brought from
a great distance. The lake was fed from
the sea, and as the sun was setting we
watched the fish jumping high in the air.
Walking round the gardens until II was
nearly dark, every turn Of the path pre-
scented an absolutely new aspect, the
variety being marvellous. Tn gardens
and houses covered "A acres, and seemed
four times that size.

"You see, she isn't a trained waitress.
