'*' MEDICINE IN PERSIA. A C5ur* That Pleased tho Doctor Mors Than the Patient. Of the progress o f medical essence the Persian people know little. They tlhide flisea-'ca into two classes, hot and cold. A cold remedy is applied to a “ hot” disease and a hot remedy to a “ cohl” one. In “ With tho Pil­ grims to Mecca” the author tells Ins tsperience with one of their physi­ cians: The evening "before I left Mecca for Jiddah I was suffering from a rack­ ing headache, and my friends advis­ ed me to consult a certain Arab phy­ sician. In the east they never break the ice of silence with a remark on the weather. The customary opening is to inquire if you are in health. 3 told the doctor- in answer to his question that I had a bad headache and lmd come to him to be cured, l i e asked.me on which side the head cehed. I touched the spot, where­ upon he fell to rubbing it vigorously with the palm o f his righ t. hand, calling out the while to the urchin, to fetch the necessary apparatus for the forthcoming operation. The boy disappeared. In a few minutes ho came back, bearing in both hands a . round, hollow plate of clay in which were a few lumps of burning charcoal. The next thing he brought in were a couple of iron rods about twice the length o f an ordinary pencil, togeth­ er with a cup filled with a black liquid composed, if I mistake not, of starch and the soof of an oil lamp. The doctor thrust the rods in' the glowing charcoal.. The fear of be­ ing branded bathed my brow in ■ sweat. The doctor assured me I had no cause to be afraid. The tips of the rods by this time were red hot. Having dipped them in the cup of ink, he closed his eyes #nd then raised his voice in an in­ cantation that lasted several min­ utes. Hot a single word could I un­ derstand. When, it was over he opened his eyes and, saying the word “ Bismillah,” proceeded to draw with one of the rods, now cool, on my right .temple five perpendicu­ lar lines crossed by five horizontal ones, thus forming sixteen tiny squares." Several, magic hieroglyph­ ics besides were inscribed' in the same manner behind my ears and on. the nape of my neck. After every operation the good doctor would pause to ask me; “ Is the pain gone now?” , Four -times did I tell the truth. Then, fearing further- tattooing, I assured the per­ severing little man, that I thought I was better. • His joy knew no bounds. He said the secret was left to him as an in­ heritance from his father and that on no account must I wash off tho signs until-the next day or the pain would return. . Chinese Fossil*. ; r -Chinese paleontology' is not an uninteresting subject. The Chinese haVe fo r long been interested in fossils in a practical i f not in a very scientific way, ‘Thus slabs of lime­ stone with fossil- trilobites are a common article of commerce. They are known as “ petriljed swallows, and the tailpiece, or pygidium, of one o f these trilobites bears a strik­ ing resemblance to a swallow with widely outspread wings. The cele­ brated “ pagoda : stones,” used to make ornamental panels and screens, are slabs o f stone with sections of the fossil shell orthoceras, and these latter, -along with rhynconella and other fossil shells, are to be found in the Chinese pharmacopoeia. Pound­ ed up and swallowed, they are the orthodox remedy for various -dis-' eases.— London Globe, } A Surprised Conductor, .A conductor on one of the Kansas City cars received a surprise recent­ ly, according to the Times of that city.- He helped a woman on at a downtown corner and was about to signal to go ahead when she culled: “ Wait a minute, please, conduc­ tor !” The man in the uniform hesitat­ ed. The woman was in front of one o f tho mirrors in the sides of the car “ fixing” her Infir. Just as lie was about to reach for the belt cord again she came toward tho back platform. “ Lot me off, please,” she said, “ I just wanted to pat my hair up a lit­ tle better.” . Then, she stepped from the ear, smiling sweetly. , Softening of tho Brain, According to n London physician softening o f the brain is a very com­ mon occurrence in the country, one- third o f the laborers in rural dis­ tricts o f England dying from it. Tho cause of the disease, according to this authority, is the lack of brain exercise. “ The intellect of a rural laborer rusts rather than wears out, and when ho attains tho age of six­ ty-five or seventy-five ho usually dies iri an^apoplectic fit or something of tho kind. Judges and others whose thinking capacity is continuously employed live to a far greater ago than the average rural laborer.” —Hew improvements at the (Hark County Fait1 Grounds will make "things mofo -pleasant there this year during the fair.

When you children are at the sea­ shore this summer look around tho beach for a few nice pebbles and bring them home, and during tho long dnys of winter you will have lots of fun polishing the stones. I f large enough to hold in the hand they can be rubbed on a piece of moistened sandstone until they are ground to a good shape. I f they are small stones it is best to sink them in a cement made o f pitch, resin and beeswax mixed together in equal parts. Heat both the pebbles and the cement and press the former into the cement, leaving the surface which is to he ground exposed. Then tulcc a board covered with fine emery powder and rub t}ie peb­ bles backward and forward until they are polished. Give a .final fin­ ish with putty powder dusted on an­ other felt covered board and you will get beautifully polished pebbles. Nothing. Now Under tho Sun. When we “ loop the loop” we think we are enjoying a sport quite new. This is not so, The accomplishment of what is known as “ looping tho loop” was practiced as long ago as the first half of the last century. The French people ascribe the in­ vention-to a M. Glftvicro o f Havre. At first the car that did the “ loop- ings” bore nothing but bags o f sand, but soon a passenger made the ven­ ture. In 1850 the sport was a prom­ inent feature of the Paris Hippo­ drome. It was reserved for America to throw the sport open to tho pub­ lic, as is dono at Coney Island and other resorts.
