Is Cancer Durable?


 When men like Dr. Howard A. Kelly, of Johns Hopkins Univer- sity, and Dr. Robert Abbe, of New York, both in the front rank of surgeons, and quite be- yond suspicion of mistaking hopes or expectations for facts, announce to a gathering of pro- fessional brethren in Philadel- phia that a positive cure has been found for cancer the state ment has weight that compels consideration.
 The announcement was made almost without qualification as to the kind or state of the ma lignant neoplasm, and with but a single warning to the public the warning that the curative agent is not now available in suf- ficient quantities to permit the saving by its use of all the vic- tims of this probably the most dreadful of human ills.
 And not only do they say that these rays cure cancers that are far advanced, but they say that the cures are amazingly quick as we'll as complete, the speed with which the treatment acts sur passing even that of Dr. Ehr- lick's wonderful discovery.
 Of course, there is nothing new in the use Of radium in can cer cases. Since soon after the isolation of that mysterious ele- ment it has been thus employed with something of success by many Investigators, both in this country and in Europe.
 Hitherto, however, failures have been many, and no such definite and extensive claims have been made for it as those put forward by Drs. Kelly and Abbe, except possibly those made by the Middlesex hospital in London in September last. Numberless previous disappoint- ments have made the scientific world incredulous regarding such claims, but on the truth of these great regulations are stalk ed with full knowledge of the re- responsibilities assumed.
 Something like confidence that the eagerly waited cure has been found is therefore justified. News-Scimitar.

lie Petit CaporaI.

Las Cases, the biographer Of N3;
poleon Ronaparte, thus describes the
origin of the title lie Petit Capora!:
A singular custom was established in
the army OF ltalY, in consequence OF
the youth Of the commander, or from
some other cause.
After each battle the oldest soldiers
used to hold council and comic: q
new rank on their young general, who,
when he made his appearance in ths
camp was received by the veterans
aid salrted by his new title.
They made him a corporal at Lodi
and sergeant at Castiglione; and
hence the surname Of Petit Capor1l,"
which vas for long time applied to
Napoleon by the soldiers.
How subtle is the chain Which
unites the most trivial circumstance to
the most important events! Per!r1a
this very nickname contributed to biz
miraculous success on his return in
1915. While he was haranguing the
first battalion. which he found it sec
essary to address. voice from tie
ranks exclaimed, "ViTe notre ietit
caporal! We will never fight aga.ns;

Paid Scott $4,000 for a Poem.

What is the highest price ever
paid by publisher for poem? 1t
would be interesting to know whether
any advance has ever been made on
the $4,000 that Scott received for
!"Rokeby." Stephen Gwynn, in his llfs
of Moore, tells us that Murray offered
$4,000 for the copyright Of "Lalla
Rookh," "but, Moore's friends thought
he should have more and, going to
Longman. they claimed that Mi.
Moore should receive no less than
the highest price ever paid for a
poem. That said Longman, was
$4,000 paid for "Rokeby." On THIS
basis they treated. and Longman was
inclined to stipulate for preliminary
perusal. Moore, however, refused
and the agreement was finally word
ed: That upon your giving into our
hands a poem Of the length of "Roke
by" you shall receive from US sum
Of s15,Ooo."

!; WOMAN BREEDS ESKIMO DOGS
ss.ms Queer Occupation. but shs
Has Made a Remarkable Ste
cess of The Work.

At Grove Park. one OF the suburbs
If London, Mrs. Scott conducts a very
interesting dog farm. Her specially
ia Eskimo dogs. which she breeds ana
trains for the market. The market is
not very large, but it is sufficient to-
make it worth her while to raise and
train the best possible Eskimo dogs.
Il is not the food market, nor the or
binary dog market. It Is the market
for Eskimo dogs which are trained for
Arctic exploration.
If you decide to make journey ia
one of the poles, you know that Eski-
mo dogs are absolutely es entail.
You can get good Eskimo dogs in
Greenland, or in Alaska. But the
good dogs in Greenland may not be
exported except by special permission
of the Danish government; and the
good dogs in Alaska are not so good.
One trouble with ordinary Eskimo
dogs is that they have no breeding
and no discipline. They will obey the
master with whom they have been
brought up. but when they start after
fish or other game, even their master
can control them only by the exercise
of brute force. For the purposes OF
your exploration you need dogs that
will obey orders given by a white
man, dogs that are broken to the har-
ness and are not afraid Of work, dogs
that have learned team work.
It is this kind of dog that Mrs.
Scott raises for the market. Her ken
nels have only pure blooded animals
Of carefully selected stock, and from
earliest puppyhood she trains them in
how to eat and how to work. When
she gets through with an Eskimo dog
the animal is not nearly 80 farocious
as one that just "growed up" in the
surroundings Of an Eskimo village
They adapt themselves quickly to new
masters, and they have acquired good
eating manners, so that they are nct
so likely to attack the cupboard or
fresh game.
Mrs. Scott feeds her ani:Gals NO
meat except pemmican and dried fish
brought from Norway; a large part
of the diet is specially prepared
biscuit. She has supplied trained
dogs for a number CT Arctic and Ant

aEW IDEA SEXES ENGLAND

Latest Fad TAKEN Up.

a Nationa; LeaSun for the Promo

est proposal for England. 1t has for
It's promoters a few -cTergymen who
have been Impressed by the extraordt.
.lary number Of couples in their par
ishes who have obtained separation
orders from the magistrates because
Of domestic strife.
The idea of the c!erics is that
Magistrates are too accommodating to
applicants chatting under the natri-
monial harness and If efforts we're
made to subdue domestic breezes
they would mostly be prevented from
developing into gales. So this league
IS to organize ministers Of ali demon
nations and kind Christians Of both
sexes TO act as peacemakers.
They will take their respective par
ishes under survey and in cases OF
household strife where the husband
Is at fault the member of the league
most likely to influence him will be
selected to intervene and subsequent
ly keep an eye on the culprit. If tho
wife is the offender then some sym.
pathetic woman will plead with hen
Most enthusiastic workers among
the poor, especially in the north, call
these separation orders the working
class equivalent to divorce the lat
ter being too expensive for them to
obtain.
The consequence is they have no
real freedom, and lcoseness Of morals
is the result. In industrial centers,
where both husband and wife are
wage earners, this is especially the
case. Lancashire alone has $4,000
people separated by law, but not free
to remarry.
