Every buyer of second hand books
dreams of one day finding between
the leaves of one of his acquisitions
a banknote. Such things happen
sometimes to other people. Accord
ing to the Gaulols, a celebrated Lon
don novelist has just had a stroke
of luck of this kind. He was pouring
over the boxes arranged along the
walls by the, side of- the Seine, and
decided to btiy for a couple of francs,
a "Henrlado," In quaint typo, pub
lished laet century, in which wore a
number of engravings. He went off
with his prize, and in the evening
began reading it. He found two of
the pages of sceno stuck together,
and, on opening them with a knife,
found three banknote of 1000 francs
($i00) each, and the following mes
tage: "Friend, whoever trou art, thou
.who hast read this botk to the end.
be legatee, without remorse oftbls
little fortune. It is all my pen has
brought me in fifty years. May the
muses be more favorable to thee, for
thou art surely a man of letters. -H.

OSTKOI'ATHV
OMeoputfiy vs. HiiKtv SiPrry In
W'oir.un's Troubles
In no field has osteopathy achieved
more than It has In saving women
f ro"ni the knife. Thousimds of women
v;ho had been told that nothing ex
cept an operation . would help them
are, well ns a result of this scientific
treatment which deals with causes
and removes them.
The "regular" school of medicine,
realizing that drugs are of very Utile
use in the treatment of these condi
tions, turns the more readily to the
field of surgery, which seems to olfer
something more definite in place of
the unsatisfactory use of drugs. The
looking for Immediate effects, rather
than tho parmanent welfare of the
patient, tho surgeons have Inaugraied
what might be termed "the era of
burgery."
Wo have only to thli.lt of the cases
which are known to everyone to real
ize how many have submitted to the
knife in the hope of regaining lost
health. Tho results arc often lamen
table. Almost everyone knows of some
woman or young girl who has been
tion. Almost all observers understand
physically wrecked through an opera
tion how one so often leads to
another, and yet another, until the
one organ after another Is sacrificed,
the constitution Is undermined and
the woman at length is r.nsexed and
rendered wretched for life.
When we realize, ns we must If we
give the mateer thought, much of this
surgical work Is unnecessary and
worse than useless, and when we real
ize that surgery cannot even prevent
the real cause of many troubles;' but
deals generally with disease effects.
It becomt-8 obivlous that we aro fare
to face with a situation that ought
to bo remedied.
This is an era of popular knowledg
on all subjects. We find today in nil,
fields men and women who are well
informed about the merits and the
demerits o the various systems
of treatment. But wo find at the same
time a groat many who know little or
nothing of these things. They are in
the habit of taking the assr.rance
of their physicians for all that relates
to their bodies. Now no matter how
capable and conscientious the physi
cian may be, that is not good policy.
Intelligent people nowdavs want
to knuw theories, reasons, conditions
and he satisfied themselves The best
physicians want their patients to
know whys and wherefores of their
treatment. No real physician has any
thing to fear from the spread of such
rfiiowie'lge. It used to be the plan
of the profession to keep the people
:n Ignorance so far as possible. Treat
ment was exclusively written In La
tin. But that day is past or passing.
People want to know. Knowledge is
spreading everywhere and with it
an understanding of health and the
health laws la being disseminated
among the nibsses.
Ono great physician who has now
abandoned surgery, claims that at
least ninety per cent of modern oper
ations are unnecessary nnd useless.
He was accounted very success! ul as
a surgeon, but felt that he could do
more for the ninety who did not need
surgory than he could for the possi
ble, ten who did need it. And ho
seems to be right, for ills practice
is ono of tho most extensive In iho
I United States.
The true physician trusts Nature
'more and. artifice less. He realizes
i that the restoration of normal blood
j and nerve supply to any part which
! may be diseased wlli do more than
I any other thing to restore that part
to health. That Is tho peculiar field
of osteopathy and It explains why
' osteopathy Is so successful in reslor-
Ing the health of many of the patients
! who would otherwise go under the
surgeon s knife.
Of couse osteopathy recognizes
surgery fuliy as a last resort, and
when milder measures prove unavail
ing It appeals to tho knife whenever
there Is real occa&lon for it; but fort
unately for human kind It has proven
that surgical operations are necessary
In but a trivial percentage of the
cases where they are fourd. This is
particularly true as regards the 11' s
of women. Osteopathis Health.

A NEW KIND OF COHX
Kou ml In China, and Quite Unlike
Our Varieties
United States Department of Ag
riculture:
A small lot of shell corn of a
kind that Is new to this country wat
sent to the United States Department
of Agriculture from 9hanghl, China,
in 1908, and tested the same season.
It proved to have qualities that may
make It valuable In bVoedlns a corn
adapted to tho hot nnd dry condi
tions of the Southwept. The plants
raised In the test averaged less than
six feet In heighth, with nn average
of twe!ve green leaves at tho time of
tassellng. The ears averaged five
and one half Inches In length and
four and a third inches In .greatest
circumference, with sixteen to eight
een rows of small grains. On the Up
per part of the plant the leaves are
all on one side of the stalk. Instead
of being a ranged on opposite sides.
Besides this, the upper leaves stand
erect, instead of dropping and the
tips are therefore above the tops of
the tassel. The silks appear at the
joint whore the leaf blade Is joined
to the leaf sheath, and they appear
before there is any sign of the ear
except a slight swelling.
The corn Is very different from any
that Is now produced In America. Its
peculiar value Is that the erect ar
rangement of the leaves on ono side
of the stalk and the appearance of
the silks In the angle whore the loaf
blade joins the sheath offer protected
place In which pollen can settle and
fertilize the silks before the latter
are exposed to the air. This Is an ex
cellent arrangement for preventing
he drying out of tho s Iks before
'ollinatlon. While the ccn may be
of little value Itself, It Is llkoly that,
by cross-breeding, these du&lrable
qualities can be Imparted to a Inrger
corn, which will thus he better ad
apted to the Southwest.
