Scientific Discovery of Value.

The British Medical Journal an. nounces that remarkable scientific discovery is now on trial at the casual- ty clearing stations in France. The in- ventor is James Shearer, Scotchman twenty years old, employed as a ser. geant in the medical corps. The new discovery succeeds just where X-ray photography fails. It produces pie lures of structures located far below the surface of the outer skin just at the point where X-ray photography ceased to perform effectively. By means of it, it is possible in broad daylight to obtain detailed pictures of the internal organs and to see at a glance by what gross lesions they may be affected The apparatus works as long as the body is living, and even until molecular death has set in. After that it does not work.

CurinQ leprosY.

Some weeks ago the Courant men, toned that Cuban had asserted that he had discovered a cure for leprosy and had so far impressed the Havana authorities that commission of phy- Sicians had been appointed to investi- gate the matter. It now appears a leper no further away than Pennsyl- vania is so much improved in health that he has been released from quaran. tine. It is asserted that while bacilli are found in nOdules on his face, his blood shows no trace of them or of the disease, and the authorities of Wilkesbarre, which have been keeping him and his family in quarantine at an expense of $3,OOO a year, have put an end to the outlay by removing the quarantine. tt may be supposed that the man, Joseph Norman, will not be altogether popular at social gatherings for some time to come, but it is signif1- cant that his condition has so far im- proved that he is permitted to be at large.-Hartford Courant.

One on the Judge.

A judge, who used to wear very long waving hair and heavy beard, one day was on his way to court when he was accosted by little street boot black, with an exceedingly dirty face with the customary "Shine, sir?" He was very importunate and the judge being impressed with the terrible state of the boys face, said: T don't want shine, but if you'll go and wash your face, I'll give you sixpence." :" "All right, sir" "Well, Jet me see you do it." The boy went to a neighbor- ing fountain and made his abfutions. Returning, he held out his hand for the sixpence. The judge said: "Well, you earned the money. Here it is" But the boy said: 'T don't want your money, old fellow. You can take it and have your hair cut" and forth. with scampered off.

Trouble brings on heart conditions and lung difficulties, 1t is said. because there is then a lack of fresh air taken into the lungs and the breathing is never deep enough. Therefore, to make 1t habit to breathe deeply, whether one feels like it or not, Is one of the best remedies for the difficulty in hand, whatever 1t may be. Again, not only must past blessings be inven- toried, but hope must be held out, which will give one goal to work for. No one man or woman can live with out this aim in life. The Joys or 1avors in hand must be remembered, to be sure, but there must also be something ahead in view or there Is a resigned state of mind which is un. healthy.

NO STOMACH PAIN, GAS, INDIGESTION
 IN FIVE MILES
"Pape's Diapepsin" Is the Best Antacid and Stomach Regulator
 Known.

Really does" upset stomachs in order-"really does" overcome indi- gestion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and sourness due to acid fermentation in five minutes-that-just that-makes Pape's Diapepsin the largest selling stomach antacid and regulator in the world. If what you eat ferments and turns sour, you belch gas and eructate undigested food or water; head is diz- zy and aches; breath foul, tongue coat ed; your insides filled with indigesti- ble waste, remember the moment "Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact with the stomach all such distress van- ishes. It's truly astonishing-almost marvellous, and the joy is it's harmless ness.
 A large fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin is worth it's weight in gold to men and women who can't get their stomachs regulated. It belongs in your home-should always be kept handy in case of sick, sour, upset stomach during the day or at night It's the quickest, surest antacid for the stomach in the world.-Adv.

Curious Ways Of tho Arah

The Arab has some curious ways. He takes of his shoes when he enters a house. but keeps on his hat. He reads and writes from right to left. He eats scarcely anything for break fast or dinner, but in the evening he sits down to hot meal swimming in oil. His sons eat with him. but the women Of the household wait till the malas have finished. The Arab rides a donkey when travelling, his wife walking behind, and he laughs at the Idea of giving up his seat for . wom- an. The Arab" has one strong virtue md that Is he is rarely seen drunk.

England, Ireland and the Pope.

In the twelfth century Pope Adrian ", the only Englishman that ever oc. cupied the papal chair, granted the hereditary lordship of Ireland to Henry II Of England. In 1172 Henry II visited Ireland in person, and the clergy and great princes acknowledged his supremacy and he was recognized "Lord of Ireland" In 1177 John, the youngest son of Henry II, was granted this lordship, but his authority was only nominal, and he left the govern ment to John d'Cource, a member of celebrated Norman family of Ox- fordshire and Somersetshire, and whose percentage was entirely un- known. In 1210 John visited Ireland, but in 1213 resigned the kingdom to the Pope, and for second time the papal claim to Ireland was formally recorded.

Bait for Pigeons.

A little salt mixed with a quantity of common yellow clay and placed on the roof or on board on the side of &n outbuilding will attract the com. mon pigeons to such an extent it will not be difficult to secure quite bevy of these birds. It Is known that the pigeon loves little salt, and as most of the natural salt, l;cks, as they were called in early days, are gone, the birds will soon discover the salt with the moist earth.
