\ Modern Medical Achievements.
Great are the achievements of con
temporary science in the department
cf therapeutics. No one who has un
dertaken to raise a family can fail, or
at least should fail, to be thankful for
onti-toxine. It has really annihilated
the worst terrors of diphtheria, and
grateful voices rejoice in it wherever
has been used. Its success, says Har
per's Weekly, revives hope that the wise
nen will presently learn to deal effectu
ally with the bacilli of consumption,
and of cancer, too, if it should turn out,
as begins to be suspected, that cancer
,is a communicable disease. Every great
medical discovery seems to tend to run
itself somewhat out of breath at ilic
start. After the operation for appendi
citis was invented it was thought that
'skillful surgeons who knew how to do
it were somewhat too willing to per
form it, and slit open a good many peo
ple who would have got on better un
opened. One hears now that as the nov
elty of the operation has worn off, and
.the doctors have grown more used to
it, it is used with a riper discrimina
tion than at first, and has grown surer
and safer and a little less frequent.
Just now the medical novelty seems to
Je the pursuit of the microbe. It is
ienrried on with an ardor that some
times makes both laymen and doctors
smile. One hears such stories as that
of a man who went to his physician
with a slight sore throat, left a little of
the lining of it to be examined, got a
gargle, and went home. That night he
went to 4lie theater, but was called out
in the middle of the performance and
told that the membrane from his throat
hod diphtheretic microbes in it, and
that he must go home, which he did;
but all the folks with sore throats in
the audience who happened not to have
seen a physician staid the show out.
.TVe laugh at the multiplication of pre
cautions, and we think our medical
.masters aspire for us to an impractica
ble degree of security. But we don't
laugh very hard, and we do as we are
told, confident that after all that is
known has been done for our protection
there will still be a great plenty of
chances for us to take.
Origination of ••Lynch Law."
From the Lansford Record.
Jauies Lynch, a prosperous wine
merchant of Galway, traded largely
with Spain, and sent. bis son tlieu i<
purchase and ship a cargo. The young
man spent the money intrusted to him.
and obtained credit from the Spani.n I
whose nephew accompanied him on hi
departure from Spain, to receive pay foi
the wine purchased, and to open trade
with other merchants of Galway, then
one, of the most prosperous towns ol
Europe.
On his roturn voyage young Lynch
conspired with the crew of the ship t<
throw the young Spaniard overboard, in
order to hide his crime.
Several years after, one of the sailor
dying told of the drowning, and Waltci
Lynch was tried for the crime and con
victed, his father bring the judge.
Some of tbe relatives wentto intercede
with the father for the son s release from
prison, where he was awaiting the day ol
execution. Fearing that an interview
with them might move him from lii
determiuation to see the law fullilled, IK
had liiin executed before their arrival.
On approaching the house, the friend
saw the lifeless body dangling from OIK
of the windows. Many say that Lynch
himself was theexcutioner..
We often hear it said that the t-rni
"Lynch law" originated in th wv-u .-I out
country, when a certain Judge Lym-h
executed his son; but the occurrence •n
--tloned above occurred about the time ol
the discovery of America, and very prob
ably gave rise to the term.

Revival of the i •
One of the i.:••
jthismuch-niiouivt!. i
of the century is t he : ;
ing bee, enthusiast; cully i . : *
Hartford (Conn.) contciu; •:
barn party has struggled hard i<> • : i
the better of it. "Barn party"—ineon I
gruous name—brings to mi ml u lioo;
nicely polished for dancing to the mu
sic of the city orchestra, with no trace
of hay or straw and the horses resting
in roomy stalls. "Barn party" belongs
to the city-village and marks a weak '
attempt to bring together the old and
the new. In "liusking bee" there is
the odor of the breath of cattle, the J
light of the jack-o'-lantern, the warmth !
of the summer sun stowed a\yay in the !
mows, the dancing of bright eyes, the
laughter of rod-cheeked girls, the gur
gle of the eider jug, and withal the
itching from the rye-beards that make
the dust on the rough board lloor.
"Husking bees" belong to the coun
try cross-roads and beyond. We know
there is a revival of them because al
most every one of our state exchanges '
mentions them in its correspondence,
but, unfortunately, not enough atten
tion has yet been given to them In print
to make a boom. The nearest to it was |
when it was written of a bee over in \
East Hartford that it was decided to i
call all the ears red ears, and "the girls >
liked it."
A WHITER in Vanity has discovered
that the. duclious of Marlborough, then
Miss Consuelo Vandcrbilt, spent last
Halloween with her mother at Blen
heim, where the company indulged in
the old-world pastime of throwing ap
ple parings over shoulders in order to
find out the initial letter of the young
ladies' future husbands' names. Miss
Consuelo filing licr paring high into
the air; it circled round three times
and fell to tlie ground in the shape of a
capital "M." The Psychological so
ciety is about to Investigate this mys
tical occurrence, and apple parings
will be at a premium on next All Saints'
day. Pari, ian belles have taken up the
idea, and for the first time this ancient
sport will be practiced in Fiance, in
stead of the old-fashioned sowing of
millet seed, and gazing into the mir
ror to sc e the eidolon of the future hus
band.
IT is a wcll-l:uown fact that rats and
mice do not infest a house at the same
time. Working upon the hint as to the
nature of rodents, N. K. La ure son, of
Vieksburg,Miss., has adopted a scheme
by which he keeps himself rid of both
pests. This he accomplishes by cap
turing a young rat and training him to
catch mice. This singular inouser,
whose name, by the way, is Czar, is
doubtless the most successful one on
record, lie has been taught to pounce
upon a mouse on short order, without
fear and without favor, and he shows
no mercy. Of course, he can follow the
mice into close quarters, and has never
been known to lose his quarry. Strange
to relate, large rats have given the
house the go-by also,seeming to under
stand that the place belongs to Czar,
and that there must be no encroach
ment upon his prerogative.
IT is doubtless a delicate recogni
tion of the inalienable rights of the
ruling race in that region that causes
the wardens of the county jail at
Phoenix, A. T., to put the Mexican pris
oners on the lower lloor and reserve
the upper story for American prison
ers. There are now 17 prisoners in
the jail, 33 Mexicans and the rest Amer
icans. The latter have the upper story
entirely to themselves. This is in the
region where a little while ago it was
customary to speak of so many white
men and so many Mexicans, or, as one
miner put it in the case of a mining ac
cident, the loss was "seven souls and
five Mexicans."
TIIE complete mortgage statistics of
the country have been published by
the census bureau, and the t tal
amount of mortgage debt shown to
have been in existence January 1, .890,
w as $2,200, 1-18,431 on acres, and $3,810,-
531,554 on lots. In other words, the
total private debt of the United States
secured by real estate mortgages is
over $0,000,000,000, or an average of
about SIOO per capita for each person
in the country.
TIIE following interesting story
comes from the south. Trone. Wilson,
an aged colored convict, who was par
doned by Gov. Atkinson the other day.
I is supposed to bo the last slave in this
j country lo be given his freedom. When
j the emancipation proclamation was is
i sued lie w as charged with being acces
sory to a murder, and was sent to the
penitentiary, where he remained until
pardoned.
IT lias been discovered that part of
the new Colorado gold lands are lo-
I cated at Pike's fYak reservation, and
; it will be necessary to get a government
i patent before mining properties can be
acquired there. Perhaps +he United
j States government is not so poor as
it is painted.

"Change of Climate."
For a number of years back the idea
lius been promulgated among a certain i
class of ailing eastern people that all j
that is necessary for the complete re- j
covery of health is a "change of cli- j
mate," and the opinion has become !
very general that California is the one
place, of all others, where may be found j
climatic conditions which are a pan a- j
oea for all ills of humanity. In regard j
to the fallacy of such a belief a writer
in Popular Science Monthly very truly
says:
"What is the seuse of telling a pa
tient with a hole at the top of his lung
to 'go to California' without instruct
ing him in regard to the location to
which he should go, or at least what
kind of climate he should look for?
| With out some specific information
such a patient is likely to drop into
( a place better calculated to shorten
jtlmn to prolong liis days. To be sure,
all the climates of California are char
acterized by a dryness exceeding what
,is known in the east, and this fact
'gives some relutive advantages. Iut
unquestionably the oir may be too
airy in certain localities for certain
cases. Is it not too much to expect a
patient to find out what the doctor
.who sends him away from home and
friends himself docs not know? Be
sides, there are man}' constituent ele
ments which enter in to make up what
we call "climate." The first of these
to be mentioned is usually the ther
monietricul readings, and the "mean"
•temperature is generally quoted as
proof positive of superiority when it
varies a few degrees one way or the
other from that of another locality
.with which it is compared. Now, the
truth is, that to know the mean tem
perature of a place, and to know only
that, is to know very little about its
climate. The physiological effects of
a climate must necessarily include the
degree of humidity, the force and di
rection of the prevailing winds, the
sunshine and cloudiness; the fogs and
their characteristics—whether thin or
dense, high or low, whether coming
down from the mountains or rolling in
from the sea; besides other unmeos
uruble influences not seen though
felt; all these and more must be appre
ciated in order to give the single factor
of relative temperature any positive
quality whatever.
A Cm®AGO man fed a few nickels into
a slot machine in a saloon t he other day
without obtaining therefrom such re
turns as the contrivance was advertised
to make, and being in a somewhat hi
larious frame of mind he determined to
visit upon the thieving device such pun
ishment as in his inebriated opinion it
truly merited. Producing a young can
non from his pocket he forthwith and
with great accuracy poured into the
vitals of the machine the contents there
of, with disastrouseffect to the machine
but with very beneficial effect upon his
mind. The shooter escaped arrest,
which may encourage him to goon in
the good work so successfully started.
No BETTER picture of the cowboy's
peculiar traits and manners could bo
had than that indicated in outline by
a little incident in Tucson, A. T., a few
days ago. A cowboy was brought into
Tucson from a range in the St. Simon
valley to be treated for a wounded in
step, which hud been shattered bj' a
pistol bullet of big caliber. The shoot
ing, it was explained, occurred during
a round-up. There was no quarrel be
tween the injured man and the man
who shot him, "but one morning when
t.'.cy got out the air was pretty crispy,
m I they began shooting at each other
to increase the circulation of their
blood."
THE constitution of Utah contains
several new features. Tor instance, it
provides that juries shall consist of
eight men instead of 12, and that in
civil cases three-fourths of the number
nay render a verdict. Another provis
ion is to the effect that the state shall
never go into debt exceeding $200,000,
except in ease of insurrection; and an
other guarantees to every citizen the
right to obtain employment wherever
possible, and makes any interference
with this right a crime. It is generally
known, of course, that suffrage is given
to women on equal terms with men.
PROSPEROUS in so many things the
year 1595 was the least productive of
the last 20 years in the matter of rail
roads. Only 1,782 miles of track were
laid. In 18S7, 12,000 miles were put
'down. The Railway Age thinks the bot
tom has now been reached and sees
great activity ahead.
A CHICAGO judge lias just rendered a
decision admitting women to the open
board of trade in that city. This is
another victory for the new woman,
for it means that she has the same
right as a man to gamble.

GRAVEL CURED
(Philadelphia, Penn., Item.)
A healthier, heartier, happier man j
than John J. Neill, of 2437 Nortli Eighth
street, Philadelphia, could not be found
in a day's search. The fact that he is
still alive is a constant wonder to his
friends.
In the fall of 1889 he began to suffer
indescribable miseries from stone in the
bladder. Consulting an eminent physi
cian in Philadelphia, lie was told that a
surgical operation was necessary. So
much did lie dread the result, for if un
successful it meant death, that he put
oIT the evil day as long as possible. While
in this frame of mind, ho heard of
DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S

he bought a bottle of it, and within a
month had experienced beneficial results,
and before lie had finished the third bot

and liis sufferings at an end.
Mr. Neili feels that he owes a lasting
debt of gratitude to Dr. Kennedy's Fa
vorite Remedy and for disorders of the
