NOVEL CURES. Tnlgoe Method. Employ.d to Overcome Certain Diseues. Freezing, baking, Illuminating, torturing, frightening and bruising are among the accepted ways of curing certain diseases, says a writer In the Philadelphia Times. For example, the baking cure: When one has a well developed rheumatism, be is placed In a species of stove and the crystals of uric acid are literally melted out of his body. Another odd cure once tried for rheumatism was burial In damp, warm clay. The first rheumatic burial took place at Menominee, Mich. The treatment was not a success, and this form of cure has been given up. The freeling cure: This was first introduced by a Swiss doctor, Paul Burdcyront. He placed his patients in sheets Immersed In ice water, packing the patient all about with crushed ice. This treatment is today used in typhoid fever cases.

Or the patient Is plunged Into an ice water bath. The treatment saves many ; 1 lives. Raging fever above 105 degrees | ; F. has been brought down by these i i menus to normal—9B 2-5 degrees—in i i less than ten minutes. Neither of these modes ot treatment ! actually freeses one. A physician of i Paris, M. Flgeau, introduced In 1890 an ammonia vapor method, which really | froxe the patient. The body was placed i in a chamber Into which certain chem- , Icals were Introduced. Ammonia gas, i by sudden evaporation, then produced . intense cold, and the blood in the body , lost most of Its beat. M. Flgeau’s method did not meet with success. Some of his patients succumbed to the drastic measures, | and the practice was abandoned.

When California Wm t'nknown. In an old geography printed In 1815 appear* the following: "California la a wild and almost unknown land. Throughout the year It is covered with dense fogs, as damp as uuhealthful. In the Interior are volcanoes and vast plains of shifting snows, which sometime* shoot columns to great heights. This would seem nearly Incredible were It not for the well authenticated accounts o( travelers.” The desert of Sahara Is no little spot It covers 2,500,000 square miles between the Atlantic ocean and the Nile Talley. The Romans built London about the year 50 A. D., hut London wall was not built until 300 A. D.

A Wlnnln, Touch. “Darling!” The strong, manly voice was low ana Intense as the handsome face bent over the fair, bowed head by the fire. “Darling," he went on eagerly, "there are others here observing us. I must see you a moment alone.” For an Instant the listener was quiet, and not a curl stirred on the lofty brow. Then the blue eyes were raised to the beseeching dark ones. “Yes, what Is It?” was the low reply. “I —well” — A slight red flush mantled the neck and cheeks of the speaker. In striking contrast to the cool, calm dignity displayed In every movement of the half reclining figure in the big plush chair. “The fact is.” he went on, mustering up courage, the first embarrassment giving place to a little more self confidence, "I have come to ask you something 1 never expected would pass my lips, especially after the last sum I borrowed from you. Darling, will you lend me $10?” Jack Darling laid aside his paper. “Os course, old man.” be cried heartily. "Let's first get a drink." And the two passed out of the clubroom together.—San Francisco News Letter. A Last Ilenource. A lady was recently reading to her young son the story of a little fellow whose father was taken 111 and died, after which he set himself diligently to work to assist In supporting himself and his mother. When she bad finished the story, she said: "Now, Tommy, if pa were to die. wouldn’t you work to keep mamma?" “Why, no.” said the little chap, not relishing the idea of work. "What for? Ain’t we got a good bouse to live in?" “Oh, yes, my dear,” said the mother, “but we can’t eat the bouse.you know.” "Well, ain’t we got plenty of things in the pantry?” continued the young hopeful. "Certainly, dear,” replied the mother, “but they would not last long, and what then?” "Well, ma,” said the young incorrigible after thinking a moment, “ain’t there enough to last till you get another husband?” Ma gave it up.—London Answers.

Immediately Suspicions. “Why did you terminate your Interview with that professional politician so abruptly?” asked the confidential man. "He made me suspicious at the outset.” said Senator Sorghum. "1 don't care how much prevarication my assistants use toward other people, but I want them to be frank and honest with me. The first thing that man did was to tell me a falsehood. He said be was working from disinterested motives nnd didn’t want money.”—Washington Star. Difficult to Treat. “Well, what Is the matter with your husband?” the physician asked as he laid down bis repair kit and removed bis gloves. “Imaginary Insomnia,” replied Mrs. Fosdick. "Imaginary insomnia?” repeated the physician inquiringly. “That's wbat It is. He thinks he doesn’t sleep at night, but be gets lots more sleep than I do.”—Detroit Free Chronic Condition.
