DR.. M. o. Terry While Asleep Re-
ceived Instructions That Develop
ed Into His Oil Cure of Many
Kinds of Enteric Diseases.

A well-known encyclopedia authori'
ty states that the name OF James
Marion Sims deserves place as an
inventive genius among the great
surgeons of the world" 1t was Sims
who, about the middle Of the last cen
fury, substituted silver wire for SILK
and other sutures, first making tnls
daring experiment in peculiar ana
hitherto incurable disease, and then
extending the use of metallic sutures
to general surgery.
For some time he had been making
study of the hitherto incurable NAL
ady. He knew that the common SILK
suture would be eaten away by ACIDS
before the wound made by an opera
ton could heal; it was this fact that
made the disease incurable. He was
puzzling over this apparently insur-
mountable obstacle one day when he
walking about the streets of Mont
gomery, Ala, where he made his
great experiment, when he saw
hairpan of the common black wire
variety lying upon the sidewalk. In
stantly, an idea flashed into his mind.
He picked up the hairpin, took it to
silversmith, and asked the latter If he
could draw a silver dollar into wire
much finer than the hairpin. When
informed that this could be done,

bly,, but not wide enough to permit
them to turn around.
The experiments developed the fact
that animals scour badly when fed
prickly pear alone; besides, other
feeds are needed to supply the proper
amount of proteids. For these rea-
sons it is better not to feed it alone.
When prickly pear is fed with
cured folders or grains the digesti-
bility of both is increased. In feeding
a mixed ration of prickly pear and al
falfa or prickly pear and cottonseed
meal. the general effect Is to increase
the digestibility of all three feeds.
If the ration of prickly pear will
increase the digestibility of all feeding
stuffs, as it apparently does that Of
alfalfa and cottonseed meal, then this
feed has a greater value than is shown
by It's own digestible nutrients The
probabilities are that the addition Of

(By r, r, HARE.)

The increased use of the prickly
pear as feed for all classes of rumi-
nants, especially for range and dairy
cattle, makes 1t important for the
proper preparation of a ration that
the feeder knows how much digestible
nutrients to expect from feeding a
given quantity of the plant either
alone or mixed with other feeding
stuffs
Many chemical analyses have been
made of a number of different mem
bers of the cactus family to determine
their value as feed for animals, and
while this data gives, with fair de-
gree of accuracy, the amount Of the
various nutrients contained in the diff
ferent species of the cacti, no reliable
record of digestion experiments has
been found, so that it has been i'm
possible to say just what proportion
of the different nutrients were avail
able to the animals.
In order to determine the digest1.
bility of the prickly pear and thus
guide the feeder in the preparation
of rations from this plant, extensive
investigations have recently been
made In Texas, New Mexico and other
southwestern states.
The principle of conducting diges
ton experiment is very simple. First
the animal is fed the feeding stuff the
digestibility of which is to be deter
mined until all other feeds have been
removed from the alimentary canal
The animal is then placed in a stall
specially designed for feeding and fol
collecting refuse without waste. II
is then fed a weighted amount of the
feeding stuff, the composition o!
which is determined by analysis. AL
the refuse is collected, weighed, an
alyzed, and the amount of the sew
eral nutrients which it is found tt
contain is subtracted from the amour
of the corresponding nutrients fed.
A good idea of the stalls used IL
these experiments may be obtained
from the illustration. They are made
of proper length and breadth, so tina
the animals may lie down comforta

General Boulanger Receives Rough
Treatment When He Attempts
to Embrace Actress.

There was an episode in the life Of
Miss Ada Rehan that did not need the
embellishments of the press agent to
make it "go the rounds" In 1881
there was a celebration of the sur
render at Yorktown, and number of
Frenchmen of state attended, includ.
ing General Boulanger. Included in
the entertainment Of these guests, the
program of which was assigned by
Mr.. Blaine, then secretary of state, to
Mr.. Creighton Webb, was visit to
Days theater. The French party
was delighted with the play, and es-
pecially with Miss Rehan. When the
Frenchmen were told that Mr.. Daily
would be pleased to take them on the
stage between acts and introduce
them to members of the company,
Boulanger manifested an excited en-
thusiasm at the prospect.

MAKING FARM
HOME PRETTY
Something of Beauty. as Well as
Order, Convenience and Good
Sanitary Conditions
Are Need ed.
Ry WALTER B. LEUTZ.l

(By WALTER b. LEUTL.)
Something of beauty, as well as OF
order, convenience and good sanitary
conditions, is needed to make farm
home attractive. In planning such a
home, let not this be forgotten. A
wide sweep of lawn between the house
and the road; background of trees
and shrubbery; low Towering bushes
planted close to the foundation and
serving, as it were, to bind the house
to the soil; vines over the porch or
bordering the window frames-all
these do much to beautify the house.
From the erection of the first house,
however, modest, the home-maker
should plan for the future as well as
for today. He should avoid building
too near the road; remembering that
prosperity may ere long enable him
to build a larger home, which may
often be most satisfactorily placed in
front of the old one. Barns and other
buildings should be located in such
relation to one another as to allow
for improvements which will result
in a harmonious whole.

Aristocrat and the Ex-Slaue

relative to appointments. Whenever
it became necessary for him to go to
the department, Senator Lamar would
courteously ask his negro colleague to
accompany him, and more than once
they were seen making their way
there arm in arm, as though they were
old cronies. And it was noticed that
the advances invariably came from
Senator Lamar; that Senator Bruce
did not presume upon the official re-
lations that existed between him and
Senator Lamar to force his personal
attentions upon the latter.
At the beginning of Grover Cleve-
lands first term as president Senator
Lamar became secretary of the inte-
rior. Not long thereafter he sent
word to Senator Bruce, then getting
ready to retire as registrar of the
treasury, that he would like to see
him. A little later the secretary was
receiving the registrar as he would an
old friend, and confessing to him that
he doubted whether he was as well

How StroIIins Bump-Reader Exam.
ined the Great Pulpit Orators
Head and Told the Truth
His Abilities.

While Henry Ward Beecher was all
his life in most vigorous health, both
mental and physical, never suffering
serious illness until the mortal attack,
he was nevertheless yearly victim
OF hay fever. He found his only re-
lief from hay fever in a sojourn in
the White Mountains, and he was &C
customed to leave his farm, near
Peekskill, N. Y, in mid-Ju1y and to re-
main in New Hampshire until the
frost. He was utterly democratic in
his manner and unconventional in his
dress, SO that anyone who did not
know him would be likely to Judge
that he was a farmer who had saved
a little money and was spending a
portion of it in a summer vacation at
White mountain hotel. Many farm
ers at that time were accustomed to
do this.
One summer morning IN the late
seventies Beecher sat upon the piazza
of his hotel, Reading a newspaper.
Upon his head was his black felt hat,
the brim of which was SO broad that
it tapped in the breeze. He wore an
,old-fashioned turn-down collar, with a
sort of black string for a necktie. His
trousers were baggy, as usual. A few
of his friends sat near him, chatting,
when suddenly there appeared around
the corner of the piazza a quaint and
curious specimen of humanity. He
was a large-eyed, long-haired man,
with the beard of prophet In one
hand ne carried satchel and in the
other what appeared to he chart or
a map rolled up.
I'm a phrenologist," he said by
way of introduction to the little group
that sat opposite Beecher. Il can
tell by feeling what kind of brain q
man has"
"Well," spoke up one of the party
assuming a cautious, manner and al
most whispering, "I1l give you dol
lar If you'll examine the bumps on
that old farmers head"-motionins
toward Beecher-"'and If we find that
you hit it pretty nearly straight, why
then, some of us may have our heads
examined"
The phrenologist approached Mr.

friends were intent upon playing

denly he stopped and stepped back il

Peculiar Intimacy That Existed Be-
tween Blanche X. Bruce and /. 9.
C. Lamar From the Time That
4-.-,~Both Were Elected Senators.

In 1875 Blanche K. Bruce, born In
slavery, and the first negro to SIT IN
the United States senate, was made
member of that body by the M1ssls-
sippi legislature. Two years later that
state named as its other senatorial
representative L. @. C. Lamar, VINO
had drafted the ordinance of seces-
sion adopted by Mississippi. led his
regiment at Yorktown and Williams
burg, and otherwise labored assld-
uously In behalf of the Confederacy.
In color, in antecedents, in training,
in politics, the ex-slave and the man
who was destined to win seat on the
United States Supreme court, were as
far apart as the poles; yet shortly
after Mr. Lamar had become senator
1t was noticed with more or less aston
ishment in various quarters that he
and the senior senator from Missis-
sippi were on the most friendly terms.
There are old residents in Washing
ton who doubtless can easily recall
how Senator Lamar and Senator
Bruce used to walk arm in arm about
the residential streets of the capital
city and through it's parks and
squares. Seemingly, it never occur
red to the white man that the COM
panion of his outings was of another
race, that his early life had been
spent in bondage. And when Senator
Bruce retired from the senate and be
came registrar of the treasury in
1881. the intimacy between him and
Senator Lamar continued, their
walks about Washington being ample
outward evidence of their friendship.
Together, during all the period that
both men were in the senate, they
would visit the postoffice department
