TUNING FORKS FOR DIAGNOSIS.


LONDON. Feb. l2--Some notable work
has been done by Dr. James Camille the
tropical medicine specialist, In the use
OF tuning forks in the diagnosis OF OBJ
scure disease conditions. Dr. Camille
found that In certain cases II was ex-
ceedinGly difficult with an ordinary
stethoscope to obtain accurate knowledge
OF engagements OF such organs AS tbs
liver spleen. stomach and heart, more
especially where the enlargement was
accompanied by affection of neighboring
structures He discovered that II a tuning
fork was set vibrating and the shaft OF
the fork placed against the body wall and
moved about note varying with the
density Of the organ situated Immediately
beneath was transmitted to the stetho-
scope.
TN this way" he says. the limits OF
the liver can be gagged with almost hair
breadth precision" The fork used gives
out the note c sharp; II has q specially
designed striker" attachment, 20 that
II need not be removed from position for
the purpose OF revibrating.
The method has proved very useful IN
cases Of small. localized pleurisy situated
low down In the chest which by ordinary
methods cannot easily be differentiated
from absceas Of the liver or liver pushed
upward toward the lung by abdominal
dlstension.
Dr. Camille In certain cases compared
the results Of his tuning fork method
with those obtained by means OF X-rays
and found that the former were abso-
lutely accurate. He believes that the
method can with advantage be used In
diagnosing cases Of broken ribs and bones
generally. He has further been making
observations on the different tones which
are specific 10 different affections Of the
liver. ana has proved that. for example,
= fatty liver gives out tones distinct from
those Of cirrhossd (fibrous) liver. sum

Racine. - Attorneys representing
Mrs. Charles Cushman, widow of a

nounced that by virtue of a decision
handed down in the supreme court

tended that Mrs. Cushman, as guard

for the support Of the children and
that as grandnephews the minors
were not entitled to an inheritance.
The order Of the court grants Mrs.
Cushman $500 a month for the rear

MODELLED ON OLD BASQUE
Garment of Today Is Much the Same
as That Worn a Generation or
So Ago.

The old basque Of a generation ago
is out again, but is far more artistic
affair than we will see in the old pho
tograpbs Of our aunts. They are
called bodices now, are hip length,
with just a suspicion Of looseness at
the waist, which has a wide net girdle
not drawn in and to be worn to tilt up
wards in the back above the waist
line and end in a butterfly bow.
These bodices are buttoned up the
back, and unlike the old-timers with
numerous seams, they have only the
one at the shoulder, which caps a per
fectly tight and long sleeve.
Mostly these bodies are developed
in velvet, of shade that contrasts
with the dressy skirt. For instance, a
striking Redfern gown has appeared
with a draped skirt of black panne vel
vet, the bodice is of peach-blow velvet,
and the girdle is black net. Black vel
vet ribbon forms a band several
inches above the edge of the sleeve,
which is cut to come in a point over
the back of the hand. Embroidery, or
bands of fur, are used to finish the
bottoms of these waists. The neck ad-

The Witch Cat.

In the Monferrato it is believed that
all the cats who wander about upon
the roofs during the month Of Febru-
arv are really witches, whom it is law
full and even necessary to shoot. An
old German superstition has it that If
a black cat sits upon the bed of
sick man it is presage of his death,
while if after his decease it is seen
upon his grave it is enough to arouse
doubts as to the locality to which his
soul has departed.
In Hungary it is thought that cats
generally become witches between the
ages of seven and twelve years. A
French belief concerning the cat is
that If the animal be carried In a
cart, and the wind blow from it to the
horses, they Immediately fall tired.
If any part of the horsemans clothing
be made Of cats skin the horse will
feel as though it carried a double bur

Madison. - Creamery proprietors
may make a rule to pay less for cream
that tests under 90 per cent butterfat
than for cream above that test, not
withstanding the law provides that
standing cream shall test Is per- cent.
This Interpretation of the law was
given by Attorney General Owen to
Dairy and Food Commissioner Emery.
In Pepin county the Eau Gale Far
mers' Creamery COMPANY of Woodford
voted to pay cent per pound less for
cream that tested less than 20 per
cent than for a better product.
In his opinion the attorney general
asks: eff cream that has high test
is worth more than cream of low test,
why should it not be permissible to
pay less for the low testing product
than for the higher?"
