About Appendicitis.

So long as Inflammation OF the APP
DeudiX remains restricted to that organ
but little harm is done to the patient
Indeed. it is doubtful If any of the
symptoms of appendicitis, properly So
called. are really due to the infiamma-
ton of the vermiform appendix itself; 1t
is much more probable that they only
come on when the Inflammation has eX-
tended to the surrounding peritoneum
This involvement of the peritoneum is
the important factor. whether from the
point of view of diagnosis or OF progno-
sis. The appendix is only important In
so far as 1t is the original cause OF
the peritonitis. and therefore its re
moval may be the best way OF treating
the peritonitis. Ii will be well. there
fore. TO consider the functions of tae
peritoneum when discussing the treat
ment of appendicitis They are three
fold: The power OF absorption. the
power of killing organisms and the
power of adhesion OF one surface OF
peritoneum against another when In
any way either surface is irritated.-

Funeral March a Warning?

The sail from the Naples shore to
Ischia is not a long excursion, and is
one Of the most beautiful on all the
Italian coast. Ischia and Procida were
undoubtedly one island, not two, until
rent asunder by some cataclysm of
nature. The stupendous headland on
which the historic castle Of Ischia,
famous as the home of Vittoria Co.
lonna, is perched, is a landmark for a
great distance all around. The village
OF Ischia Is not especially attractive,
but drive of four miles carries one to
Casamicciola, through olive orchards
and tangle of roses and myrtle,
where a comfortable hotel Is found.

the terrible earthquake that cleft the
town in 1888 In this hotel was young
Englishman, who that evening was
playing in the salon to the guests. Sud

terward came the earthquake shock

Sticking Close to Rule.

One Of the things which has caused
annoyance to manufacturers has been
the decision of the department of agri-
culture that it is a violation of the
pure food laws as to misbranding, to
cali an article by a name which gives
a wrong impression, in the opinion of
the department. as, to the place of its
origin. Thus. certain pickle manu-
facturer makes a condiment called In
dia Relish OF course, it is not made
in India. and has no relation intimate
or remote, in India The department
held that ii was a case of misbrand-
ing. In the same way, dealers have
called their goods white wine vine
gar" when the goods were made Of
diluted acetic acid and other ingre6i-
ents, with no trace of white wine in
them. Now the department has
aroused the wine men by decreeing
that sherry and port" are names
of wines made in Spain and that there
fore those wines cannot be produced
in this country. It is held that Amer
lean ports" and sherry" II so brand
ed are fraudulent. It does not matter
that the claim is made that the names
apply to types Of wines and not to
places. The wines are made from
grapes grown from imported stocks,
and named for the wines of similar
makes in Spain. Still, the department
holds that they are misbranded. To
call them limitation" port or sherry,
however, as Dr.. Wiley wants them to
be called. would probably be as great
a Misrepresentation as to let the name
stand as 1t is.
"Tweeds" are made in the United
States, odd English tapesty'' is made
in Philadelphia, Nottingham" curtains
are turned out by the million in this
country, "Sumatra" tobacco is grown
in Pittsburg, and champagnes are
made in New York, even though they
may not be so branded. 1t would seem
that port and sherry might with pro
priety be produced in California.

FIELD OF LITERATURE

A Magazine of Sterling Worth.-As
an example of a well balanced and
thoroughly readable periodical, the
April number of Lippincott's magazine
takes very high rank. The first offer
ing is a strong and breezy complete
novel, Her Italian Prince" by Mrs.
John Van Worst, who wrote Letters
to Women in Love" and "Bagsby's
Daughter" This is a romance of Paris
and the Riviera, and, as its title indi-
Gates. it has to do with the expert
ences of a charming young American
heiress who is wooed by royalty. The
tale is mostly pure comedy, but there
is a tragic touch or two as well. The
Baroness Won Hutton contributes a.
short story, THE Portrait of a Par

Honesty Is Power.

Is there any power in cunning, in
shrewd, long-headed, deceptive
methods that. can for a moment
compare with the truth, with abso-
lutte integrity? asks Orison SWEET
is, no advertisement in the world, in
the long run, that can compare with
that which comes from the reputa-
ton of always and everywhere tell
ing the exact truth, of being abso-
lutely reliable. This reputation
alone has made the names of some
of the great business houses in this
country worth millions of dollars.
Every time a man deceives he
knows that he has to cover hi:
tracks. He is always on thorns for
fear of discovery, for everything IN
his own nature is trying to betray
him; but when he tells the truth, be-
cause he is built on the truth plan,
he has all the universe SUSTAINING
supporting, backing him.
What difference there is between
the power of a man who is telling
the truth and is conscious that he s
backed by the eternal principle of
right and justice, and the man who
is lying and is conscious of 1t.
One can look the world in the face
without wincing, because he feels
that he is backed by eternal princi-
pie; there is victory in his eye, as
surance in his very bearing, while
there is something within the other
man which says, Il am a liar; 1 Al
not a man. know l am not a map,

Mr.. Ballinger said at St. Paul:
1.-THE so-called insurgent movement
of the west is something like a fan
tasy one sees on a plain-a sort of
mirage. When you are riding on the
plains a COW on the horizon looks 40
feet high, but when you come to it
it is only an ordinary COW. The in
surgent movement has been greatly
magnif1ed.' If the secretary had
said that in the east, it might have
been accepted at its face. But in the
west. where men rub elbows with
the insurgents, it is recognized as an
extravaganza lacking as much basis
in fact as Ballinger's conservation
