ANCIENT ANAEsTHETICs.

Anaesthes:a is regarded as mod
ern development OF surgery and yet
various forms of 1t were known to the
ancients. Ant:quarians have recently
discovered that the ancient Scythians
used the vapors OF hemp to deaden
pain. This was secured by throwing
hemp seed. upon hot stones. 1t was
first cestorted to to produce sort OF
twilight sleep" for scythian queen
300 years B. G. The Chinese doctors
of the same period gave liquid prep
aratlon of hemp for this purpose.
Hypnotism and arterial compression
were also resorted to in several ma
tons. The ancient Egyptians under
stood the value OF hypnotic influence in
dressing the wounds of soldiers after
battle. The Assyrians compressed the
carotid artery before performing the
operation Of circumcision.
During the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries wine OF mandragora
was used extensively and as late as
1850 German surgeonsnamed Weiss
used mandragora to lessen the pain OF
Augustus III, king Of Poland, while
his foot was amputated. Chloroform
and ether were not in une until the
nineteenth century.

The Mexican ProbIen,.

Reports which have reached Wash
ington but which the administration
has been trying to suppress describe
German influences in Mexico as
secretly encouraging Carranza to hold
out against the peace proposals Of the
United States.
AS the Mexican situation now stands
all the Mexican generals who are
discouraged and believe they might
gain more by an election than by force
of arms have assented to the proposed
peace conference while Carranza, who
has had considerable military SUCCESS,
is holding out stoutly against the con
ference and purposes to demand that
the United States recognize him. This
government would cheerfully do this
II 1t believed he could restore peace,
but all the indications are that no
sooner did this country lend It's sup
port to Carranza than all the other
generals" would make war on him.
Meanwhile, the influence OF the Uni
ted States in Mexico has become an
absolutely minus quality. The Mexi-
cans have only contempt for the Grin
goes as they call Americans.

Ger1lany,s CONCESSION.

SOAANSoSAOAAe
i Germany's assurance that she will
not further torpedo passenger ships
without first searching them and at
fording the passengers an opportunity
to escape is generally regarded as
indicating that this form Of warfare
has proved failure, especially as 1t
was exciting the hostility of all neu-
trails. including this country, toward
Germany.
Furthermore, according to trust
worthy advices reaching the navy
department. England has been
playing havoc with the German sub
marines. having sunk no less than
thirty-one during the last thirty
days. The president is now working
on a protest to England against the
orders in council, but in the mean
time England is seeking to disarm
criticism in this country by making
material concessions from those or
ders in favor Of individuals.

The :Deficit worrfes.

The steadily increasing deficit is an
occasion Of serious anxiety to the
White House. Since July Il Uncle Sans
expenses have exceeded his receipts
by $21600.000. During the same per-
iod Of last year, the excess was only
Sl6.600,000. Competent experts are
convinced that without special taxa
ton the expenses for the year will ex4
coed the receipts by $100,0G0,G00.
Secretary McAdoo says he is moi
worrying. There is no country on
the globe more able to pay more taxes
than the United States, II our expenses
are to be increased" he said, on his
return from his vacation in Maine.
But the president and others OF his
advisers are worrying because they
realize that the imposition Of further
taxes will make the administration I'M
popular. Tho experts believe the adj
ministration will have to sell bonds
to make good this deficit, even without
any increased expenditures for no.
tional defense.
While the failure Of the Underwood
bill as a revenue producer Is largely
responsible for the serious condition
Of the treasury. another potent cause
is the reckless extravaganza with
which the Democrats have been. spend.
ing money for junkets. special com
missions. etc. One OF these commits
sions is described as having been SC
reckless in placing contracts that one
man, an expert accountant and 9
worthy Democrat, is making $500 q
day net profit on his contract.

INDIO.

Those trains that go to California
by the southern route pause for a
moment at a station half way across
the great desert beyond the Colorado
river and the passengers read the
name. Indio. II 1t is winter the tenn
perature here Is comparable with that
of New York on summer day, and
If 1t is summer the heat is insuffer-
able. The thermometer registers 120
in the shade and the dust is SO terrific
that it is hard to decide whether the
car windows shall be up or down.
This is the hottest place in the Uni
ted States. 1ndio is below sea level
and in the midst of shifting sand
waste that reaches for hundreds OF
miles in every direction.
One rides for half day on a. fast
train across this waste. There Is but
the continuous sea Of sand stretching
as far as the eye. can reach. Behind
the two rails reach away into infinity
until they seem to merge and are lost
in that mirage OF the desert which pre-
SCENTS to the traveller the apparent
vision of cooling waters.
The only break is the Salton sea
whore the glitter of sand gives way
to the more binding glitter of fields
of white crystal salt as far as the eye
can reach. The sands move hither
and thither and obliterate today the
track that man made yesterday. The
seasons pass and the region knows no
rain, no vegetation. no visitation of
man except in his feeting by on the
steel rails that have slashed across the
waste.
And 1ndio was planted In the midst
of this. There deep well was sunk
and intersected some yagrant water
current that rock formations had
forced beneath this waste. A little
stream gushed forth and created an
oasis in the great American desert.
At this moment OF pause in the land
of desolat.on the traveller glimpses at
the green of trees that have here taken
root. There are the reliable cotton
wood, the date palm that has travelled
here from Egypt, the umbrella trees
|of China. a bed OF scarlet flowers,
vegetables growing in garden. The
railroad maintains an eating house
here, wooden and squat. There is a
section house and water tank A hand
full Of people, blond. Anglo-saxon,
railroad folk, make their home in the
oasis and seem not to know that their
surroundings are unusual.

OIL AND GAS

There is nothing in the wells COM
pleted from day to day to stimulate
development work in the fields. It is
the exception when better than a
light pumper is discovered. Operators
are still waiting for a better market
before starting any considerable
amount Of new work. u 20 the pres
ent time the advance of twenty-five
cents has done nothing to inspire TAX
ing up the work where it stopped
when the market declined from the
$3.50 mark. In some Of the West VIZ
|ginia districts, where there has been
more or less work all through the
depression, operators are getting In
materials while the roads are in good
condition and will be in position to
continue development work during
the winter months.
On Cabin Run, Central district,
Doddridge county, the Imperial OIL
and Gas Company has completed and
shot its No. 3 on the W. F. HudkIns
farm and has show for SIX or
eight barrel pumper in the Big Injun
sand. On the same stream and in the
same district the Carnegie Natural
Gas Company has now completed and
shot its test on the c. w. Brftton
farm and has show for a ten or
fifteen barrel pumper in the Big IN
jun sand.
On Birch Run, Union district, Clay
county, o. L. Davis and Company
have drilled test on the L. H. Sam

Gold In the Soot.

Four pounds Of gold were not so
long ago collected from the SCOT of
the chimney of the royal mint in
Berlin. So the things accounted vul-
gar are full of the dust of gold, IL we
only knew it. We need a quick eye, a
ready mind, to let no chance pass US,
to be taught by everything, improved
by everything. Neglect in this matter
brings into our life heaviness, dull
ness. WEAKNESS, vacancy.
Let US be alive to every wayside
flower in the home. to every flower
that springs amid the rough stones of
business life. to every sweet thing that
blooms in the very dust OF the street,
to the teachings, the mercies, the COM
forts. the strengthenings. of common
days, places, things and people; so
shall we be charmed along life's pill.
grimage until we arrive at home.

HIS HAPP|EST DAY

BY GRACE PAUL.


The Lonely Man had decided to take
q days holiday in the country. He
had gone so far northward that he had
reached the city limits; then he had
taken a ferry beat across the river
and come to a suburban street car.
He got in, and presently, for the first
time in many years. he saw country
real country, with trees and flowers
and singing birds.
There remained only one other pas
senger when the car passed Green
field. She was a girl of about seven
and twenty. Her hair was brown,
her eyes gray. her figure slight. Her
dress was neat. but worn. and the
purse from which she extracted the
coin had seen better days. The Lone
ly Man watched her when he thought
she was not observing him.
The Lonely Man was between thir-
ty-five and forty. Once, years before,
he would have thrilled with the sense
Of adventure. For the girl. like him
self. was obviously holiday-making.
"All OUT announced the conductor
impersonally
The car stopped at the end of a
country road. and the conductor be-
gan to reverse the seats. There was
not house in sight. but trees every
where, and birds, and tall flowers that
nodded by the wayside
The man and the girl stood side by
side in the roadway, and the car ran
back until it disappeared in the dis
lance.
Il beg your pardon said the girl,
but how far is it to Northwood?"
The man raised his hat. 81 don't
know" he answered 81 have never
been here before
Neither have l." answered the girl,
laughing. And it was impossible not
