That the adoption of an anti-vivi-. section lay such as is being urged upon the Legislature would prove a serious bar to the progress which is being made in seeking methods for the control or cure of cancer is the assertion made by Dr. James Ewing, of the Cornell University Medical College, and president of the American Society for Cancer Research. “A new era has been opened in ‘the investigation of cancer within the last few years,” said Dr. 'Ew- ing, “by the discovery that certain cancers of ‘mice, rats and dogs may be transferred to animals of the same species. The significance of these discoveries has been at once appreciated, so that in all civilized countries ‘elaborate preparations have been made, under government support, to study cancer bythe ex- perimental method, which involves the use of these lower animals. IMPORTANT RESULTS. “By this work important results have been accomplished‘. Experi~ ments on lower animals have given reason to believe that very slight variations in nutrition may limit the growth of human cancers, al- though previously no one had dared to hope for such a thing. “Other facts ascertained have set at rest the fear that cancer must be treated as an infectious disease, or that the cancer patient, like the consumptive, is a menace to his neighbors. “By vaccinating animals with slowly growing tumors it has been possible to render them immune to the?‘ most malignant forms of can- cer, and thus has been laid the basis of a preventive treatment of the disease. "‘It has been found possible to renderianimals immune to cancer by injection of extracts of many normal organs, opening a new and hopeful field of search for a cure of established cancer and for the con- trol of recurrences after operation. In dogs malignant tumors in ad- vanced stages have in several con- secutive cases been cured by bleed- ing the animal and transferring in- to his veins the 'blood' of dogs pre- yiously rendered immune. PROPORTION OF DEATHS. “That the subject of the mastery 'of the cure of cancer in human be- ings is important can hardly be denied, in view of the fact shown by vital statistics in England that 9f women living at the age of 39 1n that country, one out of nine “ The physician attend- ing me prescribed,"on my rallying from an attack of rheumatism, your Scott's Emulsion, which I have been taking every winter since.

Delirious Through Drink Could Not Navigate Ship. “A captain in irons and mate and crew in charge,” was the ominous message that reached the shore at Falmouth late on Thursday night, when the barque Calluna, of Green- ock, was towed into the port. The harbor police, accompanied by a doctor, at once put off to the ship, and a sorry story was told them. It appears that the Calluna left London on Jan. 3 for Australia, and, owing to the captain being in- capacitated, she had occupied near- ly three weeks in an erratic passage down channel which should not have Escape. An Alpine tragedy, resulting in the death of two army ofiiccrs and a favorite guide, occurred a wcek ago in the Furka Pass. Lieut. Berklcy~Hill of the British Army, and Major Marian of the Swiss Army, with Blouer, their guide, were buried in an avalanche and suffocated. Major Bailey, an- other English officer, had a mar- vellous escape, riding on the top of the avalanche to a place of safety. The three oflicers, who had been .staymg at Andermatt for a month, left in the morning, accompanied by Blcucr. All four were expert skiers, and intended to spend the night at the hut in the Furka Pass, climb the Darnmastock, which is 11,920 feet high, and spend the next night on the summit. While in the pass the roar of an avalanche was heard. The guide shouted a warning to his compan- ions, and the next moment all four were swept down a precipitous slope, whlch was covered with boulders. Licut. Berkeley~Hill, Major Mer- ian and Bleuor were buried immedi- ately under tons of snow. Major Bailey found himself car- ried along at terrific speed on top of the avalanche, being at last flung violently against a rock. He spent the night under this rock, after vainly shouting for his friends. In the morning, when news of the tragedy reached Andermatt, two search parties, consistingof four- teen oflicers and men from Fort Andermatt, and nine guides, set out. The soldiers found the bodies of the victims after much trouble and danger. won; um your warns your ~_~_- ‘occupied more than three or four Ngw Health mm Stpgng-th flan llll days. It was alleged by the crew that from the commencement of the voy- age there was trouble, owing to tho intempera-nce of the captain, and the situation became so critical that all available weapons were secured. In his delirium the’ cap- tain was so violent that he was handcuffed and locked in his cabin. Even then,_ it is said, he was seen to seize a bottle of whiskey between Had Through the Usa of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. It is useless to tell a hard work- ing woman to take life easily and not to worry. But it is the duty of every woman to save her strength as much as possible; to take her cares as lightly as may be and to build up her system to meet any unusual demands. It is her duty his manacled hands, smash off the to herself and to her family, for top by striking it against the table, apply the jagged edges to his lips and drink the raw spirit. When sixty miles south-west of the Lizard a conference was held between mate and crew. The form- er was in favor of continuing the voyage, but there were five appren~ tices on board, and the terror- stricken appearance and pathetic appeals of the youngsters support~ ed the wishes of the crew that the vessel should be turned back, and this course was finally agreed upon. The violence of the captain increas- ed, and it was decided to lower him into the lazaret, a small compart~ rncnt at the bottom of the ship. Securely chained and roped, he was lowered into the prison. When off the Lizard an offer to the steam tug Dragon to. tow the vessel to the nearest port'was made and accepted, and on arrival at Fal- mouth medical aid was rendered to the delirious captain. There was a further scene when an effort was made to transfer the captain to the hopsital on shore. When in the boat, though still lashed with ropes, he endeavored "to jump overboard, and a terrible struggle ensued as. with almost superhuman strength, he threw man after man away frgm him. The Custom’s steamboat, seeing the pre- dicament, steamed to the scene and rendered assistance, and the cap- tain avas eventually safely placed undorlrestrain in the Sailors’ Hos~ pital. '4 A WHAT WOMEN SUPPER! “Pooh!” sn-eered the brutal hus- band. “You talk of the worries and weariness of shopping for new and I feel that I ow-e hats, and you fret about the u'gli- ne'ss of the things when you buy them, as if that were something terrible. If you had to dig up the money to pay for them, as I do, you might have room to talk.” “But, my dear,” ‘expOstulated the patient wife, "what is paying for the hats compared with the mental sufferings one undergoes in braving to wear them, ‘no matter how unbecoming they may be?” Silenced, the brutal husband again buried himself in his paper. No man can preach far beyond his real self. l her future health depends upon it. To guard against a. complete breakdown in health the blood must be kept rich and red and pure. No other medicine does this so well as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. This medicine actually makes new, red blood, strengthens the nerves, restores the appetite and keeps every organ healthily toned up. Women can- not always rest when they should. but they can keep their strength and keep disease away by the oc- casional use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which have done more to lighten the cares of weak women than any other medicine. Mrs. James H. Ward, Lord’s Cove, N. B., says :â€"-“About two years ago I suffered so much from nervous prostration that I was little better thlan a helpless wreck. I suffered from headaches and a constant feeling of dizziness. The least unusual move would startle me and set my h-cart palpitatmg violently. I had little or no ap‘ petite and grew so weak that I was hardly able to drag myself about, and ‘could not do my housework. In every way I was in a deplorable condition. As the medicine I had been taking seemed to do me no good, my husband got a. supply of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I lllLlCl. only been taking the Pills for a- couple of weeks when I seemed to feel somewhat better and this cn- couraged me to continue the treat- ment. From that on my strength gradually but surely returned, and in the course of a few more weeks l was once more a well woman, able to do my own housework, and feeling better than I had done for years. I have since remained well my goo-d health to‘ the healing power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” Every other w-cak, sickly, worn out woman should follow the ex- ample of Mrs. Ward and give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a fair trial. Thcschills will sen-d new blood coursing through the veins and bring brightness and energy to the weak and despondent.

Convicts May Rise ‘to Positions of Trust by Virtue of Good Conduct. In order to become a- conviot of- ficer in an Indian prison a. pris- oner must belong to the A class- that is to say, he must be a first offender. He must have been well- behaved, industrious, and have earned at least one-fourth of the maximum marks. He may then be- come a watchman-an officer who keeps wa'tc over the sleeping- wards of the jail. It is the duty of such watchmen in Indian pri- sons to be constantly moving about the ward to prevent any prisoner leaving his place (they have dor- mitories, not cells, in Indian jails), and also, by occasionally counting to satisfy himself that all the pris- oners are safe. During the day convict watchmen occupy the posi- tion of ordinary prisoners. CONVICT WARDERS. For performing this duty, says Mr. H. L. Adam, in his interesting book, “Oriental Crime” the con- vict warder is exempted from hav- ing his head shaved _or beard clip- ped, and from wearing neck-rings, tickets, or ankle-rings. From the most successful and trustworthy convict watchmen, too, are select- ed convict overseers â€"â€"- appoint- ments much coveted. An overseer not only shares with the watch men the duty of guarding the wards at night, but also assists the pro- per warders in superintending the prisoners at work, conducting them to parades, and maintaining discipline and silence. He wears a distinctive dress, undergoes no labor except that entailed by his official duties, en- joys ec-xccptional earning capaci- ties for remission, may write to and receive letters from friends at comparatively frequent intervals, and is altogether allowed consid- erable latitude and freedom. AMAZING SMUG-GLING TRICKS One o'f the duties of an overseer is to search prisoners 'to prevent them receiving forbidden articles. And Mr. Adam mentions in an- other part of his entertaining book that Indian convicts give the authorities a great deal of trouble by smuggling undesirable articles -into prison, such as opium, tobac- co. coins, dice, and drugs. -Thc manner in which the smuggling of coins is carried out is very extra- ordinary. The prisoncr conceals the coin in a cavity in his throat, which, with great patience and enterprise, he has formed therein by passing a coin fastened to the end of a piece of string down his throat, and keeping it there for some time. The string i-s fastened to tho teeth, and by working the coin about a good deal a sort of'crevicc is formed, in which many coins can be safely sec rated. tecting the presence -~l-~il?.*-;=§Tf.>.:1~t‘f=. i‘."»"?.‘i‘.=lii:" - a. .14....1. to speculate MOHOY is 111340 by getting in on the ground floor in all An investor putting up his 1110118)’ to develop a. new claim is the person who is entitled to the first profits.

A peculiar feature of the peni~ tentiary at Port Blair is the mar- riage of convicts, the only other penal settlement where such a cus- tom prevails being the French set- tlement of New Caledonia. When a prisoner wishes to marry a fe- male conviet, he firs-t applies to the jail authorities to be allowed to pay a visit to the women eligible for marriage. From these he makes a selection, and intimates which woman his choice has fallen uponl The woman is then asked if she is willing to marry the man, and, if so, the two people are, if the authorities find no objection to the union, left to carry out the marriage ceremony according to their own native custom. CON VICT SETTLEMENTS. The couple then live the lives of ordinary villagers within the con- fines of the settlement, beyond which they may not go until their term expires. Even then, how- ever, a man ‘may stop in the set- tlement if ho wishes to do so; and many Indian prisoners prefer to do this. For wherever an ex-con~ vict settles in India he is an object of constant suspicion on the part of his neighbors and the police. Thus life is rendered very burden- some, an-d he is often glad to re- turn to Port Blair, where his free- dom is much less trammell-e-d. â€" London Tit-Bits. Vr_vâ€"_â€"-_ WENT T0 TIIE DOCTOR. Interesting Instance of Elephant’s Reasoning Powers. The veterinary college of Toul- ouse, France, received an unex~ pectcd visit not long ago from four elephantsâ€"three females and one male. The elephants, which belong to a A circus not far from the town, had broken loose and made their way to the college quite voluntarily. One of them was ill, and all four had gone to the college for treat- ment. The male elephant, John, had been treated there some months before and had evidently recom~ mended‘ the college to his lady friend, Topsy. Edie and Belle, the other two ladies, had come to keep her company. It was found that Topsy had to undergo an operation of a serious nature. and the college authorities thought it wiser to separate her from her friends. She screamed painfully, and itwas with the great- est diniculty that John, Edie and Belle could be prevented from join- ing her. When, after the operation, Topsy was taken buck to them, Belle and Edie did everything except kiss her. They patted her about with their trunks, trumpeted low words of consolation, and John, who may possibly be engaged to Topsy, curl- cd his trunk round her left fore- foot and held it for anhour. v 131 SIGNIFICANT.
