Some experiments on a dog con cerning the effects of personal liking lor various foods on the digestion were recently made by a well-known scientist. The results are curious and interesting. It was found that the articles of diet which the animal was particu larly fond of met with a great flow of the gastric juices, and were ac cordingly digested better and more quickly. For purposes of observa tion the gullet of the dog was cut in sections and fixed to the neck, so that the food it ate fell through the stomach of the animal was also di vided into two portions, into one of which no food was allowed to enter, the other being supplied only with the food necessary to life. If some tempting dainty was held before the dog and he evinced the usual signs of pleasure in the ex pected treat, it was noticed that the stomach juices sprang into play, al though the food when swallowed did not reach the stomach at all. On the other hand, if he was fed with some thing which he evidently did not havev any preference for, there was no ac tion of the gastric fluid. Also, more curiously still, when food was introduced, unknown to the animal, into the working half of his stomach, it lay there absolutely dry and untouched by the digestive juices for several hours, even though the food were of the most digestible sort. All of which proved conclusively that mere thought or favorable brain action of any sort concerning the food eaten not only assisted the diges tion, but partly caused it. Prof. Paw low, who made the experiments, thinks this partly, at least, explains why men of letters are often dyspep tic. Tlieir minds are busy with things far removed from their din ners when they are eating. The con nection between the nerve which sends the important message down to the digestive machinery below for more oil, and the patient engineer of nutrition is cut off. So when unex pected orders for deglutition come piling in upon them they are not ready, and the work is bungled.—X. Y. Herald. PHYSICIANS IN CHINA. Tfcejr Stoat De Treated to a Meal Be fore They Will Even Look at a Patient. When a man in China becomes ill his family sends for a doctor, and as no Chinese physician of established repu tation will walk to a patient a car riage or a donkey must be sent to fetch him. As soon as he reaches the house he is conducted into the best room and is entertained with tea, brandy and sweetmeats, or, if he has come a good distance, with a meal of several courses. No matter how ill his patient may be he will not approach him until 1 A CHINESE PHYSICIAN. he has thoroughly refreshed himself in this manner. When at last he goes to his bedside he first asks the patient if he is still able to eat, and he next examines his pulse. After the patient has bared his entire forearm the physician places his finger on the pulse and for several moments does not utter a word. Sometimes only one of his fingers and at other times all of them are em ployed at this work. When he breaks his silence lie describes minutely the disease from which the patient is suf fering and writes a prescription. Then the doctor takes his leave, promising to call again, if necessary. He receives, as a rule, no fee for this service, but if he is a druggist he charges a large price for the medicine, or if he is not a druggist he receives a satisfactory commission from the one who prepares it. Moreover the patient, if he recovers, generally gives him a handsome present.—Detroit Free Press. Electricity in Deatlatry. Electricity is taking the place of gas and ether in dental extraction. The current, which is of the form called high frequency, is applied to the jaw where the operator desires to render it insensible, by means of a heat apparatus, and the patient .feels nothing more than a slight beating of the affected part. This method is much safer than gas, co caine and other anesthetics.—Science. MUSIC IN DENTISTRY. French Expert Use* a Phonograph li Place of LanghiBg Gas or Other Anaeathetlca. M. Donier, one of the leading dentists of Paris, is using the phonograph to lessen the horror of tooth drawing. He has three large establishments in the busiest part of the French cap ital, and he noticed that those patients to whom he was obliged to give an anaesthetic—no matter of what kind, even if it were only laughing gas— showed unfavorable symptoms when they awoke from unconsciousness, their condition being largely due to the effect of the noise of the traffic in the street outside. They suffered from severe headache and interfere ence with vision but what distressed them most was that during the time they were under the influence of the anaesthetic they had usually horrid: dreams or imaginings. Thg dentist saw that if he could keep the noise from the ears, and con- DENTISTRY BY PHONOGRAPH. sequently from the mind also, of hit patients, great good would be done. The only way to do this was to create a louder counteracting noise or sound, which should be pleasant, not nerve irritating. Obviously music was the thing. He tried a phonograph, and' still uses it. When a patient is seated in his chair he places the phonograph's tubes to the ears and allows the in strument to work for a little while. Then he administers the anaesthetic, and he finds lhat the patient becomes unconscious much more quickly and easily, and requires much less anaes thetic than was formerly the case. Not only that, but he can perform the dental operation without inter ruption, and when the patient recov ers consciousness the aftereffects are slight indeed compared with those which nearly always presented them selves before the phonograph had been numbered among the dentist's pro fessional instruments. Another form of suffering, more or less mental, which music has the pow er to relieve is insomnia. At a time when the great majority of people were quite unaware of this, the first Napoleon put his knowledge of the fact into practice. After his banish ment to St. Helena, sleep was for a long time almost denied to hiin, and the effect on his general condition became so bad that his attendants became se riously alarmed. At last he said: "I must have a couple of hours of music before going to bed." And night after night he took the pleasant "dose' he had prescribed for himself. So un expectedly good were the results that instead of the "long wakefulness" that Lord Rosebery refers to in "Napoleon: the Last Phase," the fallen emperor slept, as a rule, for eight and some times even ten hours. But perhaps the strangest use to which music can be put is to stop the flow of blood from a wound. An army doctor noticed that when a wounded soldier was taken to within easy hear ing of music, hemorrhage was either greatly reduced or actually stopped. Neither he nor others, who confirmed his observations, could understand how this phenomenon was brought about, but it is now believed that the vibrations of the air produced by the music causes the patient to become faint, in which case the action of the heart is so considerably lessened that the overflow of blood is reduced.—Chi cago Tribune. What Gray Ryes Indicate. It is said that gray eyes in woman indicate a better head than heart. Gray eyes, however, are of many vari eties. There are the sharp, the shrewdish, the spiteful, the cold, the penetrating, the meditating and the intellectual but the fact remains that the gray represents the head. Gray is said to be the color of talent and shrewdness. Great thinkers have gray eyes. It might also be added that great men have also been those with blue eyes and with brown and hazel. Bays Shoot Throach Iron. Experiments by Prof. E. Rutherford, reported to the Royal Society of Can ada in Toronto, show that the wonder ful substance, radium, from which a constant, invisible emanation takes place, is capable of sending its rays through eight to ten inches of iron. The ionization produced by the rays after emerging from the iron shows. Prof. Rutherford says, that they must be regarded as consisting of negative ly charged particles. Dread of Cata for Oofi.

Soma time ago in tbe house of representa tives Congressman Lacey, who is chairman of the committee on public lands, was urg ing the passage of his bill to make a nation al park of the petrified forest in Arizona and telling the house that this tract was one of the wonders of the world, when Repre sentative Robinson interrupted him, says a Washington exchange. "May I ask,'' said the Indiana repre ••ntative, "if this is the forest where petri fied birds sing petrified songs on the petri fied branches of the petrified trees—the one where petrified fish are swimming in petri* ned streams where the petrified buffalo is seen suspended in the petrified atmosphere, having tried to jump across the canyon and baring been petrified in transit and still hangs there because the force of gravitation is petrified, too?" "Oh, no," replied Mr. Lacey, that is in the Yellowstone. There are no petrified songs in this forest ail the songs are up to date." Okjeets ta Its Bciig Flattened.

"Lionel Ardon," by Malcolm Dearborn, ia a new historical novel brought out by Dil* lingham & Co., in November last. It has many points on which to commend it for its superiority to the reading public. There is, at present, such a deluge of new novels that when one can be picked out whose in terest is so intense and whose characters are so well drawn like all productions of true merit, it is soon placed in the first rank. At the *.j7svt tf the publication of this vol ume we had the pleasure of favorably re viewing it, and we are pleased to note the general appreciation of Lionel Ardon" by the American press. The following is from the Boston Beacon: "In this book the reader renews acquaint ance with English history by means of a story delicately conceived and very inter estingly told. The historical characters are well drawn and the imaginary ones are true to life past or present. This is the first novel to utilize the beautiful face and char acter of Lady Jane Grey and she makes a very attractive part of the story. Lionel Ardon from boyhood to manhood plays worthily the hero's part. The book is very strikingly bound in dark blue and gilt with a decorative touch by the outlines of the rose and thistle in colors and two inverted swords in white."

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because ita component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs ia the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant gentle—Syrup of Figs.
