BOMB FOR MEDICINE. REMARKABLE VIEWS EXPRESS ED BY DR. SCHWENINGER. Dawn on Hat ad Corsata Baja, 2a tho healar Ara of Little L'ie How Health. -Katara, Ha and Drags to Preserve pms3 HERE la a good deal of commotion In medical circles at present In conse quence of a lecture which was recently delivered by Pr: Schweninger, in TXrCOTBerlIn. Dr. Schweninger baa been for yeara Prince Blsmarck'fl physician, and," like the ex-Chancellor, Is extremely blunt and outspoken. He has strong convictions, and never takes the trouble to conceal them. When he prescribes his favorite course of treat ment, in which the use of water plays a leading part, he sees that his instruc tions are obeyed, and not even Prince Bismarck ventures to disregard them. In a word, the Doctor la a man of striking Individuality, and hence his opinion on any subject i8 Interesting. Especially worthy of notice are his views on medicine, as thla is the sub ject to which he has devoted the best years of his life. In his lecture, the Doctor spoke of medicine and doctors of medicine in a mannr that will astonish all conaerva- tlye physlclana. , We have no more physiclana, he Bald, but in their place we have a hoat of specialist. Medical men of the old school have paased away, making room for men of a younger generation, each of whom, in stead of laboring to acquire a thorough knowledge of medicine In all its branches, ia satisfied if he can acquire a sufficient knowledge of one branch to enable him to style himself a special ist. Equally radical are his views in re gard to the new therapeutical .methods of treating various diseases. Serothe rapy, in his opinion, will have outlived Its uaefulneaa within the next half cen tury, and the practice of vaccination should only be tolerated and should under no circumstances be made com pulsory. To many modern "fads" the Doctor is decidedly opposed, and he says, without fear of consequences, that cycling is the cause of many ills. He goes even further. Our modern dress is not pleasing to his eyes, and be insists that men and women cannot enjoy perfect health as long as the lat ter wear corseta and the former hata. "Away with hats and coraeta," la his perslatent cry. And he tells us why he is convinced that these artlclea of ap parsl are injurious to human "health. The popular opinion ia that corsets are likely to prove injurious on account of the pressure which they, bring to bear upon a delicate portion of the body, but Dr. Schweninger, on the , contrary, maintains that they aro injurioua not because they fit too tightly round the body, but because they are too heavy. He objects to men's hate for much the same reason. They press too heavi ly on the head, he says, and also pre- vent the air from circulating as it should, the result being a general ten dency to baldness. .The modern fashion of wearing the hair short la also dis tasteful to him, and he warns us that our health Is not improved thereby. He would much rather see ua wear our DR. SCHWENINGER. hair long, after the fashion of the old Merovingiana and the modeVi athlete8. It will be seen that on all these points the Doctor ia a reactionary, a pro nouneed laudatur temporis act! A8 regards the benedta of medicine, he ia decidedly sceptical. Know thy self ia hla advice, and then, if you take proper cave of yourself, you will not need any medicine. Should some dia ease unexpectedly attack you, the best thing you can do is to wait patiently until It leaves you. Ab a rule, he claims that drugs and dctor8 prove of little service, The Doctor, as will be seen, ia in many reepecta a true disciple of Hippo crates. The latter believed firmly in the healing power of nature the worda natura medicatrix were ever on hla lips and the former Chancellor's physician ia also a firm believer in the same power. He reminds us somewhat, too, of Galen and Paracelsus, and the"re la no doubt that he has learned much from these ancient worthie8. His views on medicine and other matters are certainly novel, but it would be rather rash to assume from them that the Doctor la utterly opposed to all modern methods of treating the sick. He rather seems to urge us not to have recourse to drugs on every trifling occasion, but to accept nature as our healer. He says no hareh worda about physicians, and it is evident that he would give his best support to those brethren of his own profession who would be willing to take Hippo crates and nature as their guides, and to abandon many of ouf vaunted mod ern drugs and so-called panaceas. In conclusion, it may be said that Dr. Schweninger's reputation as a phy- mm THE NEBRASKA INDEPEDENT slelan was made many years ago, and his views, therefore, on this vital sub ject are entitled to every consideration. Even those who disapprove of them must admit that they are exceedingly original and interesting. IN PRAISE OF THE WHEEL. Cpon Which Age Itwlf Kldes Back to Youth. Blessed be the man, say I, who in vented bicycles! He builded better than he knew. When he fashioned the first wheel he unconsciously gave women the long sought for secret of perennial youth. This thought came ir resistibly upon me Sunday morning as I waited at Broad street siaiitni for a belated train. While standing there a woman passed whom I knew to be a grandmother. I had to look a second time. Clad in her bicycle costume sne looked not a day over 25; her divided skirt and perfectly fitting Jacket, open ing over a white blouse, were of soft gray serge; on her feet were dainty patent leather shoes and the trimmest of gray cloth gaiters outlined the girl ish alenderness of her shapely legs. A white stock nt her throat and a sailor hat completed this costume, as chic and modest and as lady like as the most adverse bicycle critic could desire. And she a grandmother. Shades of Martha Washington and our colonial ancestors! 1 . Then at the pretty "Wheel," the pop ular bicycle club of Marlon, new reve lations awaited me.. There was a dig nified matron in divided skirt and leg gings who rode gayly in with her hus band and two boys, and as she Jumped off her wheel and tripped across the lawn one would have sworn 16 was the limit of her yeara. Truly, yes, the in ventor of the bicycle builded better than he knew, and let us hope that he was no hater of women that, indeed, would be the refinement of cruelty if the power of rejuvenation had been given woman by some crusty critic of her sex. But after all wouldn't that be what is called poetical Justice? Philadelphia Record. The King of Stars. The great star Arcturus.which shiues In the farthest heavenajushes through space at the rate of 197,000 miles an hour, or 4,728,000 milea a day. Just think of that! How far do you think this star is away from the earth? Only 1,069,500,000,000,000,000,000 miles an inconceivable distance. We see it in the heavens because its size is so im mense, for it ia no less than 551,000 times greater than the sun. It gives out seven thousand times as much heat as the sun. If the earth could be moved through space toward Arcturu3, the spectacle that would be presented to its inhabitants as they approached that great star would be of indescrib able magnificence. When we had ar rived within something lesa than 8,000,- 000,000 miles, its light and heat would be equal to that which we get from our sun at a distance of only 93,000,- 000 miles. When we approached it as close as Neptune, the intensity of its heat would begin to be unbearable. At the distance of Jupiter it would emite the earth with the resistless en ergy of its radiation. The forests would burn, the oceans rise from their beds in vapor, the ground would smoke, and, before we could approach as close as the earth is to the sun, the whole of our globe would be melt ed and dissipated In steam! Truly, Arcturus is king among stars, and our sun, great and brilliant aa it ie, if dropped into the blazing photosphere of that great planet, would be instant ly swallowed up, and the only visible evidence of its fate would be a sudden flash. If a devil fish had been born at the same date as Julius Caesar, June 12, 100 B. C with a tentacle 1,069,500, 000,000,000 milea long, and on the day of its birth had ulaced one claw upon the fervid surface of Arcturus, it would yet require the lapse of several thou sand yeara beyond the present date before the sensation of the burn would enter the creature's consciousness up on the supposition that sensation trav els with the same speed as light, 186, 000 miles per second. This means al so that the little twinkle of light which Arcturus gives out when we look at it left the star inauy thousands of years ago. Of course the figurea bewilder one, but, as far as they can be, they have been proved correct BLASTS FROM THE RAM'S HORN It is doubtful if the church loafer weighs any more lor good than a loafer anywhere else. , The man who would be strong in the Lord always, must not feed his soul on mouldy bread. The Bibto.says that Job sinned not with his tvMgue, but it falls to say the same abodt his wife. If some men would get nearer to the Lord they wouldn't have to talk so loud when they pray. Isn't it strange that so many men think they can do most for the Lord where the pay is best? The woman who marries a man to reform him, has no time to take proper care of ner complexion, It is better to believe that there is some good in everybody, than that there ia no good in anybody, The real Christian will not shut up his Bible and quit, because things fail V . At ' i . 10 go aa no wuis mem to go. Find a man who loves God with all hia heart, and he will be found work ing for him with all hia might, Look at it this way: The world and everything in it Is yours to help you make a true man of yourself. Call the devil by any name that sounds well, and how quick he will pull In his claws and shake hands with you. A DEADLY OCCUPATION. nrlnglnr Oat Itorai From tba IUIU la Drath Valley The deadliest occupation for men o. horses is teaming in the borax field oi Death Valley of the great American desert There the longest teams in the world are employed. Scientists declare that the fierce heat in this narrow rent in the cracked surface of the earth is not equaled elsewhere In the world. Where the thermometer often registers 140 degrees of heat, un relieved by even a breath of air; where men sleep at night in hollow ditches filled with water in order to avoid dy ing from collapse, the necessity for tne longest teams of mules and horses ever harnessed to draw the great borax-laden wagons is apparent The des ert team is the longest in the world, and the percentage of deaths among the horses is greater than that of domestic animals used in any other calling. For ty to sixty horses are often hitched to one of the lumbering vehicles in which the borax is slowly dragged across the sun baked alkali plains. The average life of even the sturdiest horses used in this work is six months, for In ihis length of time they either become broken winded, consumptive from in haling the deadly dust of the desert or are driven crazy by the frightful heat A man there, though protected by the wagon awnings from the sun's rays, can not go an hour without wat er without danger of death. When a team breaks down and the water sup ply becomes depleted, the men ride at top speed for the nearest source of supply, and often when they retur they find that the remaining horses, made mad by thirst, have broken from the harness and dashed off, only te find death in the desert. The borax wagons weigh 8,000 pounds, and carry 20,000 pounds at a load. Behind each wagon is a tank containing hundreds of gallons of water. The horses are harnessed in pairs, the trained ones in the lead, and the next in Intelligence Just ahead of the tongue, while the un ruly and the youngsters are hitched be tween. The nigh leader has a bridle" with the strap from the left jaw shorter than the other, and from the bridle runs a "braided rope which the driver, perched on the wagon seat, holds in his right hand. The rope is called the "jerk line," and is a little longer than the team, which stretches out several hundred feet in front of the wagon. During the busy season the borax wagons make an almost continuous train, and the horses alone, if placed in single file, would make a team more than 100 miles long. Besides a little food and water, the poor animals get no care. They curry themselves by rolling in the burning sand. After a few months of the killing labor the poor creatures become unfit for service. A kindly rifle ball then end3 their agony, and their emaciated carcasses &re left alongside the trail to furnish scant picking for the hovering vultuxt California Letter. Instantaneous Water Heater. A greater boon to the housekeeper, can hardly be Imagined than a quick means of heating water. A water heater which has just made its ap pearance appears to have many good points. It Is automatic in action, and take3 care of itself night or day, stop ping the consumption of gas needed to heat the water as soon as its work is done. This heater combines quick ness of action and very high thermal efficiency, with a complete circulating system controlled by a thermostatic regulator. The tank as it Is heated goes to a storage tank or boiler (so- called), and as soon as the temperature in this boiler reaches the degree for which the regulator is set, the ,'as is automatically reduced, so that only so much is burned as will keep the water hot The house pipes are connected with this boiler, as usual, so that warm water can be drawn in the bath room or at the various basins about the house. When warm water is drawn, cold water flows in to take its place, and the regu lator at once turns on the gas to heat the cold water, and then stops, as be fore. This heating system insures a full supply of warm water at any mo ment, night or day, and at any part of the premises. It also reduces the con sumption of gas to a minimum, and it removes one of the most serious ob jections to gas stoves for general use. It is claimed that this appliance will heat twenty-four gallons of water with forty-seven feet of gas, and much bet ter results can be obtained by precau tions to save the loss in radiation. It is also stated that the heater will util ize from 95 to 98 per cent of the totaj heat of the gas. Science Takes Another Step. The successful use of a new tetanus antitoxin In a New York hospital seems to show that remedy for lockjaw has been discovered at last. Heretofore that comparatively common affliction has been considered necessarily fatal, because the physicians had no means of relieving it. If an effectual remedy has at last been found, the science of medicine has added another to the many great strides it has taken in re cent years. Philadelphia Ledger. , A Political Reason.

Bow Iligh Prices Mow Akt for Meal May Ba Wet. j The large increase in the price of meats will, of course, affect more seriously people with moderate Incomes, j This need not be the case did such know how to avail themselves of the Inferior cuts. There are half a dozen nutritious white soups which may be made solely of vegetables and in which the yolks of eggs beaten up in water and added at the last moment, take the place of meat Dishes In which inferior ( cuts may be used are most numerous. In the marmite, for example, the cheap- ; est portions of beef and mutton may j be employed. To concoct this, fry in ! an upriKht earthern pot some salt pork. I When the fat has all been extracted, pour it off and remove all sediments which may have been precipitated. Ee turn the fat to the pot, then add in alternate layers meat, onions, carrots, turnipB, and potatoes cut in slices. Al most cover this with salt, seal the lid of the pot with pasted paper, so that no steam may escape, tht-n place in a hot oven and allow to cook for six hours at least. The meat and vegetables are then removed, and the gravy which re mains put in a sauce pan with a can of evaporated cream. Season with salt and pepper and a pinch of sugar. When it eomes to a boil thicken with a little corn starch mixed in cold water. In the meantime beat up the yolks of three or four eggs in cold water, a teaspoonful to each yolk Stir in these while thn sauce is hot, but not boiling, pour over the meat and vegetables and serve. The cheapest portions of veal may be made Into a most palatable dish with even less trouble. Fry pieces ot veal in a little butter until brown on both sides, turning frequently. Then add water, so as not to quite cover the meat Cover and allow to simmer for two hours. To the gravy which will result add precisely the same Ingredients as In the sauce for the marmite. In these, as in all recipes, a dexterous hand and discriminating palate account for. the difference betwtn success and failttrk ' Farmers, Attention! Try our Golden Gem seed wheat.

The Costliest Paving on Record n Kim berley, South Africa. The costliest macadam on record is, without doubt, that which once paved the streets of Kimberley, South Africa, and which ' was so thickly studded with diamonds that millions of dollars' worth of gems rere taken from it, says Literary Digest How this princely roadbed came to be laid down is related In an interesting note in Cosmos (Paris, November 14), which we translate be low: "The South African diamond mines were discovered thirty years ago quite accidentally. A peddler who was traveling from farm to f?.rm on hi3 business noticed a brilliant stone amid the pebbles with which some children were playing on a farm situated near the Vaal. The idea occurred to him that perhaps it might have 3ome value. He sent it in an unsealed letter to Dr. Atherstone of Grahamstown, who was something of a geologist; he recognized in the stone a fine diamond. The fame of this discovery grew, and soon the diamond fever led many into the fields. Mines were discovered and a camp was quickly formed, which received the name of Kimberley. Water was scarce near these mines and, nevertheless, it was almost indispensable for washing the diamond-bearing soil and getting the precious gemg out easily. Many workmen tried to do without it and to find their diamonds In tne dry eartn, with the result that a great number of the stones remained in the aeons or the diamond-bearing soil that had been subjected to search. The city of Kim berley, growing rapidly, soon had a municipal council, which, among other things, undertook to macadamize its streets. The debris that was in the miners' way w&a found excellent for this purpose. The city undertook, to the great satisfaction of great numbers of workmen, to rid them of their rub bish heaps."
