Catastrophe and disease entered the earth so early that one of the first wants of the world was a doctor. Our crippled and agonized human race called for surgeon and family physician for many years before they came. The fir surgeons who answered this call were ministers of religion—namely, the Egyptian pri ‘And what a grand thing if all eleriyme n were also doctors, all D. D.’s were M. for there are so many cases where Foe) and soul need treatment at the same time, consolation and medicine, theology and therapeutics. As the first Suigeons of the world were also ministers of rel igion, may these two professions alw: se in full sympathy! But under w ges the early surgeons worked, from fact that dissection of the hur at was forbidden, first by the 1 then by the early Christians! HL bn the brutes most like the human race, were dissected, but no human body might be unfolded for physiological and anatomical exploration. and the surgeons had to guess what was inside the temple by looking at the outside of it. If they failed in any surgical oneration, they vere persecuted and driven out of the city, as was Archa- athus because of his bold but unsuccess- ul attempt to save a patient. But the world from the very kept calling for surgeons, skill is spoken of in Genesis employed their art for the incisions of a sacred rite, God making surg the prede- cessor of baptism, FH we I it HE in II Kings, where Ahaziah, the monarch, stepped on some cracked latticework in the palace, and it broke, and he fell from the upper to the lower floor, and he was so hurt that he sent to the village of Ekron = 1t disadvanta- the beginning nd their first 5, where they for aid, and Aesculapius, who wrought such wonders of surg gery that he was dei- fied and temples were built for his wor- ship at Pergamos; and Epidaurus and Podelirius introduced for the relief of the world phlebotomy, and Damocedes cured the dislocated ankle of King Dar the cancer of his queen, and Hippocrates put successful hand on fractures and intro- duced amputation, and Pr ras re began removed tu- 1 surgeon, re- nd used the ITeliodorus arrested di ease of the throat,and Alexanderof Trall treated the eye, 1 Rhazas cauterized for the preveation of hydrophobia, and Perci axa moved obstructions, and Herophili dissection, and tirasistratus Celsus, the Roma act from the eye and val Pott came to combat discases of the spine, and in our own century we have had, among others, a Roux and a Larray in trance, an tley Cooper and an Abernethy in Great Britain and a Valen: tine Mott and Willard Parker and Samuel .

But notwithstanding all the surgical and medical skill of the world, with what ten: acity the old diseases hang on to the hu man race, and most of them thou sands of years old, and in our les we read of them—the carbuncle Job and Hezekiah, the palpitation of he i wt spo- ken of in Deuteronomy, the sunsti roke of a child carried from the fie ds of Samer My head! my head!” King Asa's feet, which was nothing buf gout; defection of teeth, that aalied for ental surgery, the skill of which, almost equal to anything modern, is teh seen in the filled molars of the unrolled 12 Sgyplian mummies; the ophthalmia caused by the juice of the newly ripe fig, leaving the peo ple blind by the roadside; epilepsy, as in the case of the young man often falling into the fire and oft _into the water; hy: pochondria, as of Nebuchad: ezzar who imagined himself an ox and going out to the fields to pasture; the rad hand, which in Bible times, as now, came from he destruction of the main artery or from paraly of the chief nerve; the wounds of the man whom the os left for dead on the road to Jericho, and whom the good Samaritan nursed, pouring in oil and wine—wine to cleanse the wound and oil to soothe it. Thank God for what sur- gery has done for the alleviation and cure of human suffering! But the world wants a surgery without pain. Drs. Parre and Hickman and Simyp- son and Warner and Jackson, with their dmazing genius, came forward, and with their anaesthetics be the patient s the ancients LR and hasheesh and quieted him for awhile, but at the return did with of consciousness distress returned. The world has never seen but one surgeon who could straighten the crooked limb, cure the blind eye or reconstruct the drum of a soundless ear or reduce a dropsy without pain, and that surgeon was Jesus Christ, the mightiest, grandest, gentlest and most sympathetic surgeon the world ever saw or ever will see, and Ile deserves the confi- dence and love and worship and hosanna of all the earth and Di of “all heaven. “The blind receive their sight and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear.” I notice this surgeon had a fondness for chronic cases any a surgeon, when he has had a patient brought to. him, has said: ‘Why was not this attended to five years ago? You bring him to me after all power of recuperation is gone. You have waited until there is a complete cont tion of the muscles, and false ligatures are formed, and ossi ication has taken place. It onght to have been attended to long ago.” But Christ the Surgeon seemed to refer inveterate ca One was a emorrhage of twelve years, and He stopped it. Another was a curvature of eighteen years, and He straightened it. Another was a cripple of thirty-eight vears, and walked out well. The eizhteen-year pa- tient was a woman bent almost Si le. If you could call a convention of all the surgeons of all the centuries, their com- bined skill could not cure that body so drawn out of shape.

But Christ the Surgeon walks along those baths, and I have no doubt passes by some patients who have been only six months disordered or a year or five years. and comes to the mattress of the man who had been nearly four decades helpless, and to this thirty eight years’ invalid said, “Wilt thou be made whole The ant scientists have put their skill to its retuning, and sometimes they stop the progress of ts di lence or re move temporary obstructions, but not more than one really deaf car out of 100,- 000 is ever cured.

One gate of his body swung in to let sound enter, and the other gate swung out to let sound depart.

One veteran tire expert maintains that the plug is the best way to repair a puncture. Tires should be kept as clean as possible in order to obtain the best ser- vice from them. To remove slight scratches of the enamel use a little beeswax and tur pentine, rubbed on with an oily rag. A tiny rubber band placed on the spoke button of a cyclometer will pre- vent the clicking sound which is often so loud as to be an annoyance. To steer properly is to ha ardly steer at ajl.

CABLE FLASHES. In Honduras floods have inundatad the whole length of the railroad and the crop damage is immense. Kingston, Jamaica, advices announce that a gale followed by a conflagration has almost totally destroyed the city of Bocas del Toro, Colombia. In Roumania the Cantacuzene minis- try has resigned, advising the king to entrust to M. Carp the formation of a Conservative-Coalition cabinet. The situation in Colombia is much more serious owing to a disagreement in the ministry, and the rebels may be reinforced by Government troops. Democrats, Populists and Silver Re- publicans of Idaho are holding State conventions at Pocatello and fusion is anticipated. An Accommodating Clock. “Do you remember the old time song about grandfather's clock that ‘stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died? ” asked a man employed in the clock department of a Chestnut street jewelry store. “Well, there’s a family living on South Fifteenth street that has a rather mysterious clock. Tt used to be on the sitting room mantel, but some time ago it was moved down stairs to the parlor. It had never kept good time, and when changed to its new quarters it refused to go at all. For three months it has been purely orna- mental, but one evening last week, while the master of the house was seated in the parlor, he was surprised to hear the clock strike 9. He pulled out his watch and found that it was just exactly 0 o'clock to the fraction of a minute. He got up and wound the clock, and it has been keeping good time ever since. Strange, isn’t it, that when it did make up its mind to start it should have started just exactly ot the right time?” —Philadelohia Record. London’s Great Docks.

ND GROWTH, Her Most Beautiful and Are Late In Life. Since woman is in the main but a bundle of paradoxes, it is not so sur- prising to hear that a normally healthy women is younger, mentally and phys- ically, at 50 than at 40. The reason is | somewhat recondite, but still one to be rendered in plain words. This r juvenation comes from a sort of sec- ond growth of nerve tissue, or, more Fruitful | accurately, a new arrangement of | nerve cells, which takes place com- monly in the decade between 35 and ! 45. The rearrangement is somewhat | analogous to the root-making of a rose lor a flowering shrub. Almost every one has noted how the riotous vitality of the vernal impulse wreaths rose trees in blossom up to the period of midsummer. Then, though the bloom- |ing continues laggardly, the flowers are poor and small, as though the tree | were tired of fashioning them and fretful beneath the strain. By and by, as August ylelds to September, the | lowers, though they may be fewe | swell to more than the glory of spring. | They are truly royal, loose-leafed,long- | stemmed, heavy-headed blossoms, full of every virtue—size, fragrance, color and endurance. tells you it is because in the height of roots, and is full of the rich julces of a second growth.
