a part of Nanticoke, but the young
man had been boarding at the school,
being employed there in part pay

consisted of attending the fires in the
heating plant of the school, and
he arose at 6 o'clock to per-
form his duties as usual. The fire
escape afforded the quickest and
shortest way to the boiler room,
and it was while he was on his way
there that he slipped and fell or-else
lost his balance and toppled to the

MODERN MEDICINE VS.. QUkCKS
Scientific Progress Is Rapidly Driving
the Charatans Out of the
Field.

When the doctor gently chides the
patient who has wasted vitality valu-
able time chasing the latest adyer-
tised panacea. the victim always has
comeback" He-or, more often, she
-retorts that the medical profession
is always opposed to new methods of
treatment. There is no gainsaying the
fact that ancient and medieval medi-
cine was narrow and ecclesiastical in
its attitude. At that time medicine
was not a science, but a more or less
imperfect art. 1t attracted it is true,
many brilliant minds, but it also had
in its ranks a large preponderance of
mystics and charlatans.
What we know today as the science
of medicine is of recent growth. The
application of modern scientific meth
DDS to the study of the human body
and its processes has produced results
as far-reachng in their scope as any
accomplished in other fields of human
endeavor Moreover, by employing She
methods of the Twentieth century
both to the study Of medicine and to
the organization Of the medical profess
sion, charlatanism and mysticism have
become the exception instead of the
rule in medicine. The modern medical
quack and faddist is but an eXcres
cence.
The result of all this has been to
raise enormously the standard of the
collective Judgment of the medical pro-
fession. careful review of modern
medicine will show that in not one in
stance has the mass judgment of ply
sicians been at fault in condemning
methods of treatment that have failed
to meet the eXacting requirements de-
manded by the doctor Of today.

PYGMlES AVERAGE FIVE FEET
Wherever Found, They Possess Ger
tain Striking ResembIances-
Neglect Agriculture.

There are certain popular errors
concerning the race of understood
men and women known as pygmies.
Usually travellers have measured the
most diminutive specimens, and thus
an exaggerated idea of their smallness
has been produced.
The average stature of the pygmies
that have been measured is about four
feet eight inches, but the best author
tiles in anthropology say that the real
average limit of stature is five feet.
Some are taller than that.
The pygmies have been found in
eight or ten different places in Central
Africa, but wherever found they pos
sess certain striking resemblances.
The plant furnishing the covering
for their huts is the same in the wide
~ separated regions visited by Stan
ley and others, and the shape of the
huts, rough hemisphere, is the same.
All the pygmies are alike character
lied by neglect of agriculture, by the
use Of poisoned arrows, and by the alb
sence of centralized tribal organlZa-
tion.-Kansas City Times.

The silly ideas that continue to-
day are too numerous to mention.
A lot of folks believe that if you rub
wart with a stolen dishrag and
then bury it, the wart will disappear
when the rag decays. A potato car
ried in the pocket will cure rheu-
matism. You can cure an aching
tooth by touching it with the tooth of
a dead person and afterward greas-
ing it with marrow. A broken mir
ror means seven years bad luck. A
gift of pearls will bring tears An
opal ring is unlucky for the wearer.
The owner of a rabbits foot is
possessed of a talisman that will be-
stow favor and fortune. 1t is bad
luck to cross through a funeral pro-
cession and good fortune will forsake
you if you return for a forgotten
article'and fail to sit down before
you start on your way again.
Such beliefs are too foolish to de-
serve comment; and yet we have
among us right now great army of
people who are Influenced by these or
other equally ridiculous credulities.
One reason for the continuance of
superstitious beliefs is the everlast-
ing truth that ''men mark when they
hit and seldom when they miss. ;"

Found WranueI Island in 1867.

The first authentic account concern
ing Wrangel island, which has been
attracting so much international inter-
est, was from Captain Long, master of
the American whaling barque Nile,
who in the summer of 1867 on a whal-
ing voyage, named this land Wrangel
land, after Baron Wrangel and two
of the headlands he named after one
of his crew named Thomas, this man
being the first to see the island.
The promontory Hawaii he named
after tie island, where in winter. in
the harbor of Honolulu, the whalers
made their rendezvous there to out
fit for another season. These names
are today on the charts of Wrangel
island.
Aug II, 1881, Capt. Calvin Cooper
commanding the United States revenue
steamship Corwin, landed and took
possession of Wrangel land in the
name of the United States of
America.
