ANCIENT METHOD OF HEALING.
Laying on of Hands is One of the
Oldest Prescriptions Known to
Men of Medicine.


For countless ages among barbaric.
pagan and Christian peoples the be-
lief was current that individuals dis
eased and "curtailed of their fair
proportions" could be healed bv
touch" by the breath" by words
and prayer by the wearing of ANU
let's and talismans, by charms" of
every conceivable and inconceivable
kind. These superstitions, under
various aliases are remarkably in
evidence even in the advanced civil
lization of our day. The healing of
the sick by the application of hands
is of vast antiquity. 1t is to be found
in the records and the practices of
the early Egyptians and Jews, the
Assyrians and Indians. one Of the
earliest recorded examples is to be
found in the Old Testament. We are
told that Elisha brought to life a
dead child by stretching himself
three times upon the child and call
ing aloud to God
Readers Of history are acquainted
with the supposed healing powers of
the kingly touch
1t was believed for a long time that
living together and breathing upon a
sickiy person would produce salutary
as well as harmful effects. Young
children and virgins were supposed
to have the power to "cure" by
/ breathing upon the patient and
sprinkling him with their own blood.
This method of cure" is mentioned
by Galen, Pliny and Virgil. History
tells us that the great Barbarossa,
when dying, was advised by his Jew
ish doctor to have young, robust
| boys placed across his stomach, in
lieu of lamentations. The following
curious inscription, cut in marble,
was discovered at Rome by the arch
aeologist Gomar:
To Aesculapius and Health,
this is erected by
l.. Claudius Hermippus,
Who,
By the breath of young girls, lived
115 years and days, at which
physicians were no little surprised,
| Successive generations lead such a
life.!!!
A Teutonic writer, Hufeland by
name, from his vast reservoir of ex-
| perience, gravely informs us hat
when we consider how efficacious for
| lameness are freshly opened animals,
or the laying of living animal upon
any painful affection, we must feel
convinced that these methods are not
/ to be thrown aside"
Curing by words was common
in the early ages. They cast out the
/ disease spirits of exorcism. Ulysses,
/ mythology has it, stopped a hem
orrhage by words, styptic words, evil
| IDENTIFY. Cato cured sprains by the
/ same means.
Various astrological signs inscrib-
| ed upon amulets and talismans-of
minerals or of metals-were suppos-
ed to prevent and to cure diseases
when worn on the body of the suffer-
er. Herbs, roots, loadstones, blood
stones, pieces of amber, images of
/ saints, were also worn for the same
reason. The Buddhists, for instance,
| had a sort of religious reverence for
| the sapphire. They called it the
stone of stones (optimus. quem tellus
medica gignit) New York Medical
! Journal.

POSTAGE STAMP GUM.

Every time a person licks a United
States postage stamp he gets a taste
of sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed is made from
that succulent vegetable because I'm
Gle Sans lieutenants consider it the
most harmless preparation of the
sort. All of the gum used on Ameri-
can postage stamps is mixed by the
government at the bureau of en-
craving and printing, where the
stamps are made. 1t is spread on
the sheets after the stamps have been
printed. The gum, in a liquid form,
is forced up through pipes from the
basement, where it is made. These
pipes lead to a series of machines
consisting of rollers, between which
the sheets of stamps are fed, one
at a time. continuous fine stream
of the liquid gum falls upon one of
these rollers. The sheet with its wet
coating of sweet potato mucilage
passes from the rollers into a long
horizontal flue filled with hot air,
When it emerges at the other end of
the flue the gum is dry.-New York

friends, started across the street and
Mr.. Jermyn was caught by car and
hurled number of feet He was
picked up and hurried to the Fair
mount hotel; where he has made his
home for the past three or four
years.
He was unconscious when his
friends reached him and has not yet
regained consciousness.
Two cars, going in opposite direc-
tions, were running on the street
when Mr.. Jermyn and his friends
attempted to cross. Mr.. Jermyn got
past one and failed to see the other
in time and was struck.
Mr.. Jermyn is a widower and has
daughter studying music in Ber-
lin.

ton by the family in the following

THE HOME OF HUMoR

People who complain that there are
no real humorists in this country any
more are respectfully invited to turn
their attention to the case of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew F. Schubert of McKees
Rocks, Pa. Mr.. and Mrs. Schubert,
fearing that their loving friends might
subject them to unpleasant treatment
if they were married on the home
grounds, went to neighboring town to
have the ceremony performed, after
which they returned to McKee's Rocks
and for a day or two kept their mar
riage a secret. While Mr.. Schubert was
attending a lodge meeting of the uni
formed rank of Maccabees the fact
that he was married became known to
his friends, and, pouncing upon him in
force, they dragged him from the hall
and put him under guard. Then, Sc
curing his bride, the merry, merry
humorists placed the loving husband
and wife in hack and compelled them
to submit to being driven through the
principal street of the town, while a
bowling mob followed. At one place a
stop was made while the bride and
groom were thoroughly drenched with
water squirted from a garden hose 1t
was doubtless a most edifying spec
tacle and we are sure that McKee's
Rocks must be the abiding place of
many a humorist who is destined to
make his mark. At McKee's Rocks 1t
is still considered killing joke for one
person to point a dn't-know-it-was-
loaded gun at another
