FAIVIOIJS CAVALRY. The etteles or Inem and Their efeernate • Tko, its issue of Pecespeber 18, weica bee juet reached Ertglana bY the 1,0" dian mall, the Times of India has an interesting aetiele on the celebrated corps Irnow,s as the Guides Cevalry, AnneYeing the system: wheels has pro- duced such brilliwat mutts, the jour- nal says: In the filet place comes a, factor whieh name eelloted. about but seldom flourishin, its truest sense, and that is esprib de corps.

Illustrative of the. high value placed on personal bravery in the Guides as ageinsta Babu-like knowledge of the drill book, two interesting instances naaY be mentiened. There was on the Yusafzel border a. noted freelance Fut- lea, Khan, who had. a small following of horeemen as bold. and. intrepid as litiasse.lf. Even, the gallant and. re- sourceful Sir Henry Lumsden, with his Guides, could not bring this man to book, though oft he tried. At last Lunesden struck on an unique solution of the problern by deciding that he would enlist Futteh Khan and the whole of his band! Accordingly a po- lite latter was written, saying that Lumsden had the greatest respect for the " BRAVERY AND DARING of Futtea Khan and his band, that it was a. pity that they and the Guides should continue a bootless feud to the profit of nieit.her, and. that he would make Futteh Khan a, Ressadtlar end take over the whole of hie band as it stood! Puttee. Khan, accepted the of-. ler, and. be,and his men served with distinction, for many years in the Guides, taking part in the historic rear& to Delbi, and doing yeoman ser- vice before its wells. The other ineideat occurred when sir Francis Jenkins was Colonel. iThe Guides with other tropes, having made a turning movement, droppecl down in- to the Khyber Passel rear of Ali Mus - so as to cut off the'eaenay's retreat when, the frontal attack should he driv- en home. Amongst the first batch of the, fugitives to come up the Pass was a squadron of Afghan Cavalry, whieh reeking a ruse for it, managed, with some loss, to run: the gauntlet and get through. One [man alone was seen quietly walking hi,s horse in the wake of the fugitives, ancl defianbly waving his sword in the fees of the heavy fire of 800 rifles. How he eame not to be hit was a. atarvel, but Sir Francis em - mediately ordered the "Cease fire" to sound. Mae colloquy which ,ensued was delightfully unique. "Who are you?" said. the Colen.el. am Sultan Jan leazilbash, and. I don't care a box . of grapes for you and the whole of your army." "Yea are a. brave men, any way," said the Colonel; "will you en- list in my regiment ?" "Yes, I will," said Sultan Jan, "for I leave heard of you and the Guiass as brave warriors." And enlisted he was on the spot, made a Duffadar there and then, and after- wards served with distinetion through- out the campalgin. .At the end. a two years, when the war was over, he went • to his Colonel and said: "1 ani a man of war, and cannot face all tbe drill and tnonotony of an 'mean cantonment in peace time; with' your Highness's eeemission I will mow take my dis- charge," And away he went, a free- lance born, and as such determined to die. WORTH A KING'S RANSOM. , One of the most beautiful women in the Englis,h aristocracy has just been photographed in an extraordinary cos- tume which is notable for it wealth of color and. lavish display of jewels. She is the Countess de Grey, wife of the heir of the Marquiseof Ream, and sister of the thirteenth Earl of Pem- broke. The Countess de Grey is cele- brated for her beauty. The costume in which she is photographed and whieh London is talking about, as the pic- tures were recently placed on sale in all the photograph shops, is that of Cleopatra wiaich she were at the Duch- ess of Devanshire'e bell.

No organ of the body has caus- ed more disoussion Q1' puzelement among medical men than the vermi- form appendix, and every new sug- gestion as to treatment for appendi- citis is eagerly discussed. Consequent- ly when Dr. M. 0. Terry, of !Mee, Sur- geon -General of the National •Guard, New York State, published it pamphlet a short time ago advocating the use of cetharties and sweet oil in the treat- ment of this diseaes, and declaring that of 51 cases under his personal su- pervision, 49 were successfully hand- led, without operation's, comments, fa- vourable and otherwise, flew freely. In the November, '1897, number of the Med/cal Tim, Dr, Terry, defended his practice. The treatment as be de- seribed it, is SUBSTANTIALLY AS FOLLOWS. At first cathartics of easter oil and sweet oil, followed by hot water are given, until the bowels are theroughly cleaned out, This treatment is follow- ed by enemas of glycerine and sweet oil. Flaiseed poulticessoaked ia sweet oil are kept on the abdomen. The diet is restricted to very liget, easily digested foods. The oil treatment, Dr. Terry says, removes the friction of the inflamed tissues and relaxes thorn dur- ing resolution. In thisway he says he has cured cases of chronic, recurrent ap- pendicitis. To prevent a return of -the trouble, after the original treatment, • he prescribes a tableseoonf-ul of sweet oil, followed by a glass of hot water, before each meal for several weeks. . His te.tateinente have been sharply ohalleaged by Dr. Robert P. Morris, of New York, an eminent authority up- on appendicitis and a 'warm advocate of the use of the knife. In the Janu- ary number of the Medical Times Dr. Morris' olmllenge and Dr. Terry's re- ply are printed. After stating that the medical treat - meat advocated by Dr. Terry Le the "most exoelleat I have ever seen de- scribed," Dr. Morris continues: "But very busy men, sometimes fin 1 it diffi- cult to keep track of all their cases. Wheel a physician of Dr. Terry's pro- rainenee states that forty-nine out of fifty-one cases of appendicilis HAVE BEEN CURED. by naedical treatmen,t, I assume tbat sense of the men upon whom he has depended for subsequent histories of the cases have deceived bine and I will pat my idea in, this form. If Dr. Terry will personally obtain .e report front eaoh one �t the forty-nine cured pati - eats, I will give $1,000 on the first day of jurue, 1898, to any hospital that Dr. Terry will name, if he finds that none of these patients have dies of appen,thea ts or camp Ica eons, or have subjected themselves to opera - teens for appendicitis. Dr. Terry, on theother hand, to give $1,000 to the library of the New York Academy of Medicine en June 1, 1898, if he finds that some of these forty-nine patients dies of eppendicitis or its compli- cations, or have subjected themselves to operations for appendicitis. . . . "I have no knoevledge whatever of any one of the forty-nine cases, but 1 have made a careful study of the subject of appendicitis, and from thefro findings in the analysis of 100 consecu- tive operatic:sae of my own, reported in, the second edition of my lecture on appendicitis, there is evidence that mere than 25 per cent of all appendi- citis patients eventually die under medical treatment. 1 do not doubt that unider the excellent medical treat-.ment advocated by Dr. Terry it Is pas- sible to cause subsidence of the acute symptoms in forty-nine consecutive single attacks of appendicitis, bat that is a very different matter from CUBING FORTY-NINE CASES . . Under the best sort of medical treatment appendicitis patients spend inore time in. bed, suffer more, and die oftner than they do under the best sort of surgical treatment." In his reply Dr. Terry decline e to ac- cept the challenge of the surgeon.- "As my ewes are the accumulation of five years' observation' he writes, "it woeld be a. most diffitult matter to trace out each one, owing to tbe changes of residense of some, to the facts Chat others have been strangers to me, and to the consultation element entering into the proposition, svith physiriane whose patients are located over a widely acatterecl territory." Nevertheless, Dr, Terry stoutly ad- heres to his mediae treatment, deelar- ing that the appendix should be assist- ed. in emptying itself. This much alms - ed and apparently uselees organ gets this defence from him• : "Evolution is all right, but we have noted. no great changes in the appendix for ages in matt; therefore we believe that the Creater left it there, 'wit fez the knife of the stir - goon, but for same purpose." Other authorities have teethe elides in the in of mediettlor surgical treat - Ment in appendicitis, and, the disouselon islikely be proleaged and to bring Out material of intereet and value from various praktitioners.

The tastes, fanctions and needs of the latter are undeveloped, and the temp - teems to commit, a large number of crimes is wholly wanting Education' and luxurious surround- ings beget longings which men will seek to gratify, Those who are properly ed- ucated and properly balanced, will seek to gratify their wishes in a legal and. proper manner only, but all persons are not properly educated, and many of the latter are hot susceptible of that kind of education. There are per- sons in every community, be it cul - or primitive, whose minds are incapable of a, broad raoral -view upon any matter. 'Uneducated and uncul- tured, they pass their lives without damage or wale very little damage to the eonarnunit3r tied the state, bat ode - cation anci „culture may set in motion their distorted moral eeesse, and make them positive enemies of society. It -would be ridiculous because of this to charge the increase of crime to the growth of .education and culture, or 1d., eluade that edu.cation should be The develoeraene of human imper- fections by education is merely an in- cident. The sound so greatly outnum- ber the ulnsousid that the latter would not be noticed did not their eccentri- cities injuriously affect society. The remcley is to study criminology, and -draw the ;necessary practical lessons from it. It is a slow process, but must avail in the end. Meanwhile, there are causes for the increase of crime which can be renscreed without any special study. The loose administration of the laws in scene portions of tbe country demands correction. When criminals feel safe in* defying the courts, crime evil' always multiply. Slowness of pro- cedure is a potent force in making criminals. The remoteness of danger is with them almost equivalent to es- cape from penalty. Soma of the laws, both feaeral and local, which were made with the best intentious, bave eailed of their purpose, and should be amend- ed in the interest of society. The rap- id increase of crime is a temporary phenomenon which enlightened. states- manship will gradually eliminate. REIGN OF TERROR. Negroes In British Ilendiaras AnblYing (he T01.01 Rigr,bt old Lett. A. letter has been received at New Orleans from Belize, British Hondur- as, under date of January 28, which states teat a reign of terror exists at that place. The negroes, constituting fifteeneseeteenths of the population, have given out that they intend to drive out every wbite man in the place and, with this end in view, have ap- plied. the torch right and left. On the night of January 26, fourteen houses, owned by white citizens of Kiug. Bishop, and Albert streets, were burned be. incendiaries.. This is the third attempt to destroy the city. In the first instance, property to the value of $250,000, was burned, including the warehouses and stores of Betty and Company, the largest merchants of Belize. The negroes threaten that they will continue their warfare until riot a store or house owned by a white citizen is left stanenig. The popule- „Li:. of 13elize is ehout 8,000.

The fire entered the block from the north encl. and spread upwards tend a tang the top of the leueldeng, aril it was not half an hour before flames were issuing from, al- most every window ixi the block. So rapid was the progress of the fire that Mere was no tense to save anything in ehe burning building. The upper storeys of the buiridimg were fully oc- cupied by lawyers, agents for eastern wholesale Louses, travellers' sample- roorne, contractors, and insurance of- fices, The ground, floor and basement consisted of leading paten stores. It was impossible to save even, the books, an the fire doors had been left open and the flames had a clear sweep down the corridors. • BUILDING A SAFE RISK. The insurance amounted, to only about $200,000, the building being con- sidered one of the safest risks in the city. It was erected. in sections, the first part b.sing put up in. 1883, and the last part, the Criterion hotel build- ing, was finished only four or five years ago. It had all the latest im- provements, iron ceilings, fire doors, etc., but none proved. of any use in stemming the terrible progress of the flames. Mystery surrounds the cause of tee fire, but hundreds of theories have ben advanced with more or less plausibility. There were no furnaces in that pare of the building where the fire originated, and this/ has led to the belief that the blaze was caused by electric wires. The loss on the McIntyre building is estimated. at 0125,000, and the principal other losses were A. Taylor, $26,000; Meltay Bros., & Norris, $30,000; Geo. Velie & Co., e4e000; A. C. Marge" $15,000; James Tamen $25,000; j. Payne, $10,000; J. Erzinger, $11,000. Ten stores andmore than one hun- dred offices and lodge-roome were con- sumed. There were no serious acci- dents or less of life, although several people who slept ea the bending had to Iles half-dressed down the fire -escapes. A PRONUNCIATION PUZZLE.
