on the street, shriek and yell at a
helpless, suffering public. There is
often, if not always, some sort of an
examination by which it is sought to
test the fitness of girls who wish to
be clerks or waitresses; but no one
ever thinks to ask one question which
ought to be asked: "Is it pleasant to
hear you speak?" A certain girl who
sells stockings in a big city store sets
forth their merits in a voice so pleas
ing that her Customers are sure to
buy more than they need. But only a
few steps from her counter, the ticket

nasal, harsh and penetrating that it

declares the Youth's Companion. The
tone and air which give unconscious
pleasure are all too rare among hur

Peunsburg, PaJ--Tales of a kangaroo
that is said to be Teaming the wooded
hills in the vicinity of Pleasant Run, a
few utiles west of here, have occa
sioned' intense excitement Several
persons, among them Erwin Styer and
Martin Stengel, have seen the strange
animal within the past week, and while
it is so fleet that no one has been able
to obtain a good, view of it, the descrip
tions substantiate the theory thai it is
a kangaroo. It is described as being
of gray color, with a head shaped like
that of a sheep and a body of large
proportions. Upon the approach of a
human being it darts away at. tremen
dous speed. .
Dogs have attacked it, but. were al
ways worsted. They were not bitten,
but apparently the animal flung them
off with terrific force, in the manner
that a kangaroo defends itself with
Its hind legs and tail.
People living in the neighborhood
are afraid to venture away from home
after nightfall, and there is little dis
position to linger at the village store
or tavern In the evening. Young men
and women feel that the customary
outdoor rural amusements are no long
er safe. "It ain't that I'm afraid of
any wild beast that ever roamed the
jungles of Montgomery county," said
one young swain, "but I certainly do
object to the disgrace of being knocked
out by the hind legs or the tall of a
kangaroo. So I guess we fellows won't
do much sitting up with the girls for
some time to come."

Marriage and Society.
The fundamental character of a so
ciological point of view is that it looks
ahead. To the sociologist the individ
ual Is nothing as an individual; he is
concerned with the life of society,
which outlives many generations of
individuals. This it is which endows
marriage with its supreme impor
tance for him. He leaves it -with the
psychologist to inquire as to the com
parative worth of marriage and other
forms of sex relation to the individu
al; but he must inquire as to its in
fluence upon the future life of the so
ciety in which it occurs. Marriage
vindicates itself in his eyes because
it furnishes the one perfect condition
for the young generation, whose busi
ness it is to continue the life of soci
ety. Thus the sociologist looks with
entirely distinct Interest upon the two
kinds of marriages. The childless mar
riage is doubtless of interest to the
psychologist the student of charac
ter; but it matters scarcely anything
at all for the sociologist, for it signi
fies nothing for the future. True, it is
a social relation, but, so far as he is
concerned, it amounts to nothing more
than that two persons, who happen to
be of opposite sexes, live in the same
house and arrange their finances joint
ly. It is the appearance of a baby that
vitally Interests the sociologist, re
marks Dr. C. W.tSaleeby, in Harms
worth Self-Educator, for now he has
to consider not merely n marriage, but
n marriage leading to the family. In
this respect he is like nature. She,
also, is "careless of the single life."
and for those who are not parents,
whether they be married' or unmar
ried, she cares little or nothing. "Her
supreme Interest," as the present
writer has said elsewhere, "Is with
those chosen individuals upon whose
character "and behavior, as upon nc
other factor in the universe, the whole
future of the race depends." -
A Plymouth man asked a Province

Provincetown man replied that it
would certainly be tall enough to be
seen from Plymouth and other places
that are fond of posing as the original
Pilgrim landing places. This indi

GREAT-GRANDFATHER AT 57.
Pennsylvania Man Has Achieved
Unique Distinction for His Age.
Heading, Pa. At 57, Peter f. Nagle
of this place boasts of being the most
youthful great-grandfather in the
state, while his son, William A. Nagle
of 2543 Berks street, Philadelphia, is
eqaauy positive that few grandfa
thers can put down their ages at 38.
Besides having the most youthful
great-grandfather in the state. Baby
Carroll can boast of the distinction of
having great-grandmothers living.
They are: Mrs. Peter F. Nagle. Mrs.
Thomas F. Beckley, who lives with
her husband at the home of William
Nagle; Mrs. Leonard: Lewis, of Alba,
Pa., and Mrs. Anna Greenlaw, of Wil

latter are dead.
The latter is the father of Earl
Nagle. also of Philadelphia, who is 21
years of age, and he has n son, Carroll

SEA GIVES UP BANK CHECKS.
Papers Drift 500 Miles and Puzzle the
Finders.
London. A remarkable discovery of
checks, which had drifted 500 miles
at sea. has been made on the German
coast at Wyk, in the Island of Fohr.
They were drawn on the Dover
branch of the National Provincial
Bank of England, the manager of
which was notified of their discovery
through Lloyd's agency at Fohr. The
German finders believed them to be
valuable, and asked if any reward was
offered for their recovery.
At first the whole affair was a mys
tery to the bank officials, but inquiries
resulted in a peculiar explanation.
About six months ago a client of
the bank, who had changed his ad
dress, placed a large number of old
checks and other papers In a sack.
He had the sack taken out into the
straits of Dover and sunk.
In the drift of about 500 miles from
Dover to the Island of Fohr, off the
German coast, the sack had burst,
with the result that the checks it con
tained will probably be floating ashore
on various parts of the European
coast line.

He has lived among the Cherokee In
dians for the last 57 years, having
come direct from London. England, in
1850, where he was born 86 years ago.
It was he who taught the Indians the
art of horticulture, and who is respon
sible for many large orchards and
vineyards in this part of the proposed
new state of Oklahoma.
This 'grand old man worked for the
last 20 years trying to get n perfect
cross between a common cabbage and
a turnip, and it was only by accident
that his success was known. Some
bad boys entered his "garden of the
Wizard of Ox." as the white people
here call his place, and in the dark
ness stole what they supposed were
a number of cabbages. These were
sold to the Hotel London. The land
lady noticed how peculiar they 'ap
peared, but cooked them for dinner.
A number of commercial travelers in
quired how she managed to get such
a perfect combination and the ladv
told of the purchase and explained
how the vegetable had been cooked.
The writer heard of the story and
set about to learn the truth from the
old gentleman. Upon being asked
what discoveries he had made in plant
life, and for a statement for publica
tion Mr. Jaggers replied:
"I was not ready to give the news
of my turnip cabbage combination to
the public, but the boys stole them,

White Crow Has Been Discovered

It has occupied many years of my

"When I came among the Indians

A nice way to cooktender corn is in
milk. In this case husk the corn and
drop into the boiling milk.'- Cook just
five minutes from the time it begins
to boil. Keep covered closely while
cooking and serve as soon as, done.
Where there is a large family to be
provided with corn, it is wiser to cook
the corn in relays.
Indian Corn Pudding. Select firm,
fresh ears of corn, medium size, and
with a keen-bladed knife score each
row of kernels, then scrape out the
pulp, leaving the hulls on the' cob. To
the pulp taken from a dozen ears allow
a pint and a half rich milk, four beat
en eggs, a teaspoonful salt, n half tea-
spoonful pepper, and If the corn lacks
sweetness two or three tablespoonfuls
sugar. BsXe In a well-buttered deep
earthen disn for two hours, in n slow,
steady oven.
Corn Fritters. Cut the kernels from
four good-sized ears young corn. Add
two beaten eggs, half a teaspoonful
salt,' a saltspoonful. pepper, a cup of
Sour pressed down and heaped a little,
and a cup of cold milk.' Have ready a
hot frying pan well greased and drop
in the batter by spoonfuls. There
should be enough for a dozens. Do
not let the fritters touch. Cook in re
lays, frying on one side four minutes,
then turn and fry the other. These
are delicious as an accompaniment for
chicken or to serve for breakfast
Green Corn Omelet Score the rows
of four large ears of corn and scrape
out the pulp. Mix with five well-beaten
eggs, whites and yolks together.
one tablespoonful cream, half a tea
spoonful salt and pepper to season.
Heat a frying pan, drop In n table
spoonful butter and grease every por
tion of the sides and bottom. Pour in
the omelet and tilt the pan. sliding a
thin-bladed knife under the omelet to
prevent its sticking. When nearly
cooked on top the stove, set in the
oven to finish. Then fold over and
turn on to n hot platter.
Broiled Sweet Corn. Boil the oars
of corn two minutes, then drain and
dry on a towel. Place on a broiler and
toast over glowing coals or under the
gas flame unto n good brown. Season
with salt and send to the table in a
napkin.
Baked Corn. Take off the coarse
outer husks from young corn, turn
back the inner and remove the silk.
Bring the inner husks back over the
end, tie in place, and lay in the oven.
Bake about 20 minutes.
What to Do with Left-Over Corn.
Cut from the cob, then chop very fine.
Put over the fire in a shallow basin,
adding milk to moisten slightly. Let
it just come to a boil, no more, or it
will be hopelessly toughened; season
with salt pepper and butter, and serve
at once.

Samuel Brown.
When Brown came to Sioux City he
attracted attention by his peculiar

casserole to almost fill it Salt, but

the seasoning.. This is an excellent
dish to serve with cold meats.
Tomatoes with rice is one of the
main combinations of the casserole
cook. The rice is cooked first to
soften it and then the tomatoes are
added with the proper seasoning and
enough of the chopped green peppers
to impart a very delicate flavor. It is
very essential to the making of any
casserole dish to have all the in
gredients well cooked and well blend
ed. One should not be cooked more
than the other as this will Impair the
dellclousness and flavor of the whole.
And, usually, high seasoning is liked
by those who are fond of casserole
dishes.
To Wash Greasy Flannels.
The best way to wash greasy flan-

ammonia to the soapy water and place
a cover over the tub or receptacle
where the flannels are soaking. Wash
in a second fresh lather and then rinse
thoroughly.

Dr. Augustus Charles Bernays, who
died n few days ago in St Louis, was,
probably, the foremost surgeon in the
United States. His fame was co
extensive with the civilized world. He
was not only an operator of the high
est order, but a tireless and exhaus
tive worker In the field of original
surgery. He performed the first suc
cessful Caesarian -section in 1889 in
St Louis, and also the first successful
coeliotomy for gunshot wound of the
abdomen and the first gallstone opera
tion in Missouri. A record held by
Dr. Bernays has never been equaled:
Out of eighty-one successive cases
of appendicitis which necessitated
operations, seventy-one in succession
were with perfectly satisfactory re
sults, the seventy-second patient fall
ing of recovery, but the subsequent
nine cases were successfully treated.
And yet, with such a record, match
less as was his skill, varied and ex
tensive as was his learning, wonder

was not considered, by the American
Medical Association, as worthy of
membership In that organization.
No charges were ever brought
against aim which. In the remotest
degree, reflected on his qualifications
as a surgeon; his moral character was
never the subject of attack; he was
never accused of having done any
thing unbecoming a man or a gentle
man. "The head and. front of his of
fending had this extent no more!"
He dared to think! He refused to
mold his opinions and to govern his
actions by the arbitrary rules which
those whom he knew to be his infer

other words, he could not regard the

whero his judgment told him it was
wrong. And so, twenty years ago
or more, on account of some trivial in
fraction of this sacred "Code," a
movement was started to expel him
from the local association, which was
only defeated by his hastily sending
in his resignation. As membership in
the A. M. A. is dependent upon mem
bership in the local and State socie
ties, his name was dropped by the
national organization.
And so. though he had saved thou
sands of lives; though other physi
cians had profited by his art; this
brilliant surgeon; this great and able
man, has, during all these years, been
an outcast a medical "scab;" not
recognized as "ethical" or worthy of
fellowship by that body of physicians
banded together in the American Med
ical Association!
And this is the association which,
under pretense of working for the
public good, is, in reality, only seeking
to control Congress and the State
Legislatures in the Interest of their
own selfish schemes; which is trying
to create a Cabinet position and to
place one of its members in that po
sition; which is endeavoring by law
to exclude from the use of the mails,
all manufacturers of medicines who
do not comply with the absurd re
quirements that they choose to set
up; which, in short. Is trying to put.
upon the statute books of State and
nation laws that will, in effect estab
lish n kind of medical priesthood, to
which only their own members will be
eligible with power and control over
the health and lives of the people!
God help the druggists, the drug
manufacturers, physicians not mem
bers of their guild, and the people
generally, if this association ever suc
ceeds in its undertaking. If it does,
it will, after the fashion of the labor
unions, dictate a "closed shop," and
say to doctors who prefer to be inde
pendent, "You must join our union
or, failing to do so, compel them to
get out of the business. It will, say
what medicines shall be taken, and
how they shall be made. It will hedge
the people about with a lot of petty
regulations under pretense of protect
ing the public health. In fine, a medi
cal bureaucracy will be established to
tyrannize over the people.
Let no man call this a false alarm.
If there are those who are inclined
to do so, let them read the journal of
the A. M. A. Let them scan the
proceedings of the association, held
always behind closed doors, and care
fully edited, as they are, before they
are published in its official organ. If
they will do this they will see that we
are not trying to create a bugaboo to
frighten their timid souls.
Mr. H. J. Henneman, Oakland, Neb.,
writes: "I waited before writing to yon
about my sickness, catarrh of the stom
ach, which I had over a year ago.
'There were people who told me it
would not stay cured, but I am sure
that 1 am cured, for I do not feci any
more ill effects, have a goodappetiteana
am getting fat So I am. and will say
to all, I am cured for good.
"I thank you for your kindness.
- "PerumM will be mrmmmse mtelida
hereafter."
Catarrh of the stomach is also known
in common parlance as dyspepsia, gas
tritis and indigestion. No medicine will
be of any permanent benefit except it
removes the catarrhal condition.

Miss Julia Butler, B. R. 4, Appleton,
Wis., writes she had catarrh of the
stomach, causing loss of sleep and appe
tite, with frequent severe pains after
eating. She took Pernua, her appetite
returned, she gained strength, Seek and
perfect health.
