Seventeen of Them Chose This BIanner of Earning lll'artyd om. The stories of self—torture inflicted 9y religious fanatics in India and the similar tales which come down to us from the Middle Ages are all eclipsed ,Iy actual occurrences in our own day and in close touch with nineteenth 2eniury European civilization. ’I‘ho monks of the Greek Church are noted for their insane practices in this respect, but a recent affair has eclipsed anything heretofore made Inown of their cruelties to themselves and each other in their efforts to gain The crown of martyrdom. A. St. Petersburg dispatch to the Lon- :lon Daily News cabled to New York :ells the story, and the Russian-Con- sul-General in New York, as well as the pastor of the Greek Orthodox Church here, see nothing in the alleged facts which they regard as incredible In the light of their knowledge con- cerning the practices of certain of the Greek Church monks, The story simply is that seventeen monks in a hermitage at Tirespol, in the province of Kherson, deliberately decided to cause hemselves to be walled up in the monastry that they might earn martyrdom by this horri- ble death. Theypresented the scheme :0 a brother monk, and, so far from being shocked at the horrible proposi- tion, be applauded it as a meritorious lot of piety and self-punishment. He volunteered, moreover, to act as ma- son in Walling in his brethren in their living tomb, and they accepted his ser- vices. . It was not until their mysterious dis- appearance began to excite comment that an investigation was made. It was at first thought they had emi- grated, but when the remaining monks were closely questioned one of them confessed that he had helped them to commit suicide in the ,manner above described. V There was a descent upon the mon- astry by the police, and when the wall was'torn away at the point indi- cated, the horrible truth of the story which had seemed beyond belief was revealed. REPAIRING A BROKEN HEART. A Frankfurt Physical!) Claims to Have Perlormed Such an Operation. ‘ Up to the present the reparation of broken hearts has been a psychical rather than a physical operation, but times have changed. From Berlin comes the announcement that, at the surgical congress recently held there, It great sensation was caused by the announcement of Dr. Rehe, of Frank- furt, during a lecture on the treatment of wounds of the heart, that he had treated a case successfully. He stated that he applied the general principles of arrest of hemorrhage to the wounds of the heart. which was to freely ex- pose the wounded organ and sew the severed edges together. He showed a patient who. had been stabbed in the heart, and would in the ordinary course have been allowed to die in hospital. Dr. Relic. laid bare the heart and found that the site of the wound was in the right side. He sewed the wound up. The heart worked most violently during the operation. But in R spite of this stormy commotion (stur- rnischen bewegungen) the patient re- covered—From London Invention. Oppressive Silence. The little girl was a 'member of a large and noisy family.

There are others who claim it, but demonstrations show it to be'true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very acid condition, and then only if the dose is a large one. In doses of one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately. BRANDRETH'S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract of sarsa— parilla that can be made.
