HERALD
BY JOHN TIKOWK, t. D.
Next day, my ma ster, tho surgeon,
examined Ailio. Tlu ro was no doubt it
must kill her and Bonn. It could bo re
moved It mi 'lit n.ivcr return it would
give her speedy relief, she should have it
done. Shu curtsied, looked at Jamen,
and said, "When?" "To-morrow," said
tie kind surgeon, a tnan of few words.
S,y and James and Rab and I retired.
I noticed that ho and she spoko little, but
seemed to anticipate everything in each
other. The following' day, at noon, tho
students cainu in, hurrying up the
great stair. At the first landing-place,
on a small, well-known blackboard,
was a bit of paper fastened by wafers,
and many remains of old wafers beside
it. On the paper wero tho words, "An
operation to-dny. J. n. Clnrlc"
Up ran tho youths, eager to secure
good places; in they crowded, full of in
ttrest and talk. "What's tho case?"
"Which side is it?"
Don't think them heartless; they are
neither better nor worse than you or I;
they get over their professional hor
rors, and into their proper work and
in them pity, as nn emotion, ending in
itself or at best In tears and a long
drawn breath, lessens, while pity as a
motive is quickened, and gains power
nnd purpose. It is well for human na
ture that it i s so.
Tho operating theatre Is crowded;
much talk and fun and all the cordiality
and stir of vouth. Thesurireon with his
stafr 01 assistants is mere, in comes
Aille; ono lo ik at her quiets and abates
the eager students. That beautiful old
woman is too much for them; they sit
down and are dumb, and gaze at hor.
Those rough boys feel the power of her
presence iiho walks in quickly, but
without haste; dressed in her mutch,
her neekorchief. her white dimity sliort
gown, her black bombazine petti
coat, showing worsted stockings and
her carpet-shoes. llehind her was
James with I!ab. James sat down in
tho distance, and took that hugo and
noble head between his kness. Bab
looked perplexed and dangerous; for
Bver cocking lib ear nnd dropping it as
fast.
Ailia stepped up on a seat, and laid
hersolf on th j table, as hor friend, tho
surgeon told hor; arranged herself,
gave a rapid look at James, shut hor
oyes. rested hersolf on me. and took my
hand. The operation was at once be
gnn; it was ncce ,arily slow; and
chloroform one of tiod's best gifts to
Ids lUffuring chi'lu was then un
known. Tlu burgoon did his work.
The pale fae showed its pain, but was
still t,nd siluni.. Uab soul was working
within him; ho raw something etraugo
was going 0,1 bioo 1 flowing from his
mistross, and sho .sul srlng; his ragged
earwusup.ar 1 i.-iport inate; ho growled
and gave now a-'l then a sharp, im
patient yelp: ho wuld havo liked to
have done so 10'hing to that man. Hut
James had him firm, and gave him a
glower from time to time, and an iuf
mation of a possible kick all tho better
for James, it kept his eye and his mind
off Ailia.

and decently down from the table, looks
for James; then turning to the surgeon
and tho students, sho ourtsies and in
a low, clear volee, begs their pardon if
Bhe has behaved ill. Tho students all
of us wept like ohildren; the surgeon
happed hor up carefully and, resting
on James and me, Ailie went to her
room, Rab following. We put her to
bed. James took off his heavy shoes,
crammed with tackoti, heel-capt and
toc-dapt, and put them carefully under
tho table, saying, "Malster John, I'm
fornane o' yer strange nurse bodies for
Ailio. I'll bo her nurse, and I'll gang
about on my stockln' soles as canny as
pussy." And so ho did; and handy and
clever, and swift and tendor as any
woman, wnB that horny-handed, snell,

got he gavo her; he seldom slept; and

The end was drawing on; the golden
bowl was breaking; tho silver cord was
fast being loosed that anlmula blau
dula, vaguhv, honpes, comosque, was
about to flee. The body and tho soul
companions for sixty yoars were being
sundered, and taking leave. She was
walking alone through the valley of
that shadow into which ono day we
must all enter and yet she was not
alone, for we know whose rod and stall
were ooiufortlmr her.
uno uigm sue nau laiien quiet, ana,
as we hoped, asleep; her eyes were shut.
We put down tho gas, and sat watching
her. Suddenly sho sat up in bod, and
taking a bed-gown which was lying on
it rolled up, she held it eagerly to hor
breast to tho right side. We oould see
her eyes bright with a surprising ton
dornofcs and joy, bending ovor this bun
dle of clothes. She held it as a woman
holds her tucking child even
ing out nor nlgnt gown impa
tiently, and holding it close,
and brooding over it, und murmuring
foolish little words, as over ono whom
Ills mother oomforteth, and who sucks
and is satlslled. It was pitiful and
strange to see her wasted dying look,
keen and yet vague her immense love.
"Preserve me!" groaned James, giv
ing wny. And then sho rooked back
nnd forward, as if to tnako it sleep,
hushing it, and wasting on It hor infin
ite fondness. "Wae s me doctor; I de-
cluro sho's thinkin' it's that bairn."
What bairn?" "The only bairn we
ever had; our woe Myslo, and she's in
tho Kingdom, forty years and malr."
It was telling plainly true; the pain in
the breast, telling its urgent .ory to n
bewildered, ruined brain, wan misroad
and mistaken; it suggosted to her the
uneasiness of a breast full of milk, and
thon the child; nnd so again onco more
they were togother, and sho had her
ain wee Myslo in her bosom.
This was tho close. Sho sank rapidly;
tho delirium loft her; but, as sho whisp
ered, she was "cleau silly;" it was the
lightening boloro tho final darkness
After having for soma timo lain still,
her oyes shut, sho said: "Jamesl" Ho
cano close to her, and lifting up her
calm, clear, beautiful eyes, she gave
him a long look, turned to mo kindly
but shortly, looked for Rab Vut could
not see him, then turned to her
husbund again, as If sho would never
leavo off looking, shut her eyes, and
composed herself. She lay for soma
time breathing quick, and passed away
so gently, that when we thought she
was gone, James, in his old-fashioned
way, held the mirror to her faoe. After
u long pause, one small spot of dimness
was breathed out; It vanished away and
never returned, leaving tho blank clear
darkncti of the mirror without a stain.
What Is our life? It is even a vapor,
which appcareth for a llttlo time, and
then vanisheth away."
Kau all tins time Had been fully
awake and motionless; he camo forward
besido us; Allln's hand, which James
had held, was hanging down; it was
soaked with his tears; Rab llokcd it aU
over, carofully looked at her, nnd re
turned to his place undor the table.
James and I sat, I don't ktiow how
long, but for some time, saying noth
ing; ho started up abruptly, and with
somo noise went to tho table, nnd put
ting Ills right foro and middlo fingers
each into a shoe, pulled them out, and
put them on, breaking one of tho
leather Intends, and muttering in an
ger, I ncvor did tno like o th taforol "

either. "Rabl" ho said roughly, und
pointing with his thumb to the bottom
of thu bed. Rab leapt up, and aottlod
himself: his brad and eye to tho dead
face. "Mister John, yo'll wait for me,"
said tho carrier; und disappeared in the
darkness, thundering downstairs in his
heavy shoos. I ran to the front win
dow; there ho was, already round tho
house, and out at tho gate, treeing like
a shadow.
I was arratn aTout mm, ana yet not
afraid; so I sat down beside Rab, and
being wearied, fell asleep. I woke from
1 Budden noise outside. It was Novem

at the gate, in the dim morning for

stairs, and met me. It was less than
three hours sines he left, and ho must

He nodded to me, spread out on the floor

and then lifting her, he nodded again
sharply to mo, and with a resolved but
utterly miserable face strode along the
passage and downstairs, followed by
Uab. I followed with a light; but lie
didn't need it. I went out, holding
stupidly the candlo in my hand in tho
onlm frosty air: we were soon at the
gate. I could have helped him, but I
saw ho was not to be xnoddled with, and
he was strong, and did not need it. Ho
laid her down as tenderly, as safely, as
he had lifted her out ten days bafore
as tendorly as when he had her lint in

turned up Kioholson Street. I heard

James would take the key, and lift

And what of Rab? I asked lor him

WHITTLING PARTIES.
Mow IluralUts In Northraiteru Tennayl
TKnln Anituo ThcmnoWes In Winter.
Whittling parties are all tho rage
this winter in the rural districts of
northeastern Pennsylvania. They have
taken the place of applo bees nnd other
social amusements, and they are the
most popular evening diversions tho
young men and maidens now have. Tho
dcslro to become akillful with the jack
knlfo got to bo n craze In some heigh
borhoods. Nearly all of tho whittlers
nro the descendants of Yankee fanners,
and therefore, says tho New York Hun,
handle tho jackknifo with dexterity
The whittling contests tako place in
tho farmhouse kitchens, the whittlers
and their families having been invited
by tho man who gives the party He
furnishes all the wood, and he puts up
prizes of two dollars and one dollar
for the most perfect and second best ax
holvo, hammer handle, potato masher,
or other useful things, and he appoints
threo disinterested men of good judg
ment to decide on the merits of the
work turned out. Their decision is
final, und tho things shaped out of wood
that evening become the property of
tho giver of the prizes. The only im
plements allowed in the contests are a
jackknifo und a fllo, and the work must
bo finished within two hours.
Rosy-cheeked girls compete with tho
young men for the prizes. Some of
them aro oxpert with the Jackknifi and
can whittle faster and to a better pur
poso than their competitors of the other
sox. In Palmyra township one night
last week a bright-eyed girl of nineteen
whittled, filed and sandpapered out of
a piece of ash ns shapely a rolling pin
as the most particular housewife could
wish for. She did tho work in an hour
and twenty minutes, and she won the
first prize in a company of seven com
petitors. If the prize giver decides
to get his guests to work on hickory
ax helves, they have to submit to it; if
there aro more wonjen than men com
petitors, tho giver of the party almost
invariably favors the former by select
ing something that will be easier to
whittle than an ax helve. While the
whittlers are busy the non-whlttlers
have a jolly timo in other parte of the
house playing cards nnd chatting, and
occasionally peering into tho kitchen
to see how the contestants aro getting
along with their work. The kitchen is
cleared as soon as the prizes have been
awarded, supper Is served in the front
rooms, and by midnight the whittlers
and their companions are on their way

The Curling; Nwortl tonuLe.
There is a little reptile belonging in
Madagascar known as the scimitar
snake, that is the curling sword, Run
ning along the back from head to tall
is a blackish, horny substance, which
bonds with the convolutions of the
snake's body as readily as would a well
tempered steel spring, and throughout
its entire length it bears an edge as
hard as flint und sharp as a razor. Tbty
aro cot poisonous, but when ono of
them springs on a man, which ho likes
very well to do. he will soon have a leg
off unless or ached on the pate. Some
snake specialists claim that the pres
ence of this reptile on the Island is the
reason thero are no large quadrupeds to
bo found there at present, the curling

DINING A THOU8AND YEARS AGO.
Tb rood of tb Atitrle-SAXon Mint f
Wmiltlt Wu Survrfl in AlMindanon.
A thousand years ago, when the din
ner was rendy to be served, the first
thing brought into the great lml 1 wus a
table. Movablo trestles were brought,
on which wero plaoed boards, and all
were carried away again at the close 01
the meal. Upon this wus laid the table
cloth. There Is an old Latin riddle of
the Eighth century, In wlrlch tho table
says: "I feed people with many kinds
of food. First, I am quadrupled, and
adorned with handsome clothing; thon
I am robbed of my apparel and lose my
legs also."
The food of tho Anglo-Saxon was
largely bread. The bread was baked In
round, flat cakes, which the supersti
tion of the cook marked with a cross,
to presprve them from tho perils of the
fire. Milk, butter and cheese were also
beaten. The prinoipal meat was bacon,
as the acorns of the oak forests, which
thon covered a large part of England,
supported numerous droves of swhne.
Our Anglo-Saxon forefathers were not
only hoarty eaters, but also deep drink
ers.
The drinking horns were at first lit
erally horns, nnd so must be Imme
diately emptied when filled; later,
when tho primitive horn hnd been re
placed by a glass cup, it retained a
tradition of its rude prodeoessor in Its
shape, so that It, too, had to be
emptied at a draft Eaoh guest was
furnished with a spoon, while his knife
he always carried in his bolt: as for
forks, who dreamed of them when na
ture had given man ten fingers? Hut
you will seo why a servant with a basin
of water and a towel always presented
himself to each guest before dinner was
served and after it was ended.
Boasted meat was served on the spit
or rod on which it was cooked, and tho
guest out or tore off a piece to suit
himself. Boiled meat was laid on tho
oakes of bread, or later, on thick
slices of bread called "trenchers,"
from a Norman word meaning "to cut,"
as these vere to carve the meat on,
thus preserving the table cloth from
the knife. At first the trencher was
eaten or thrown upon the stone floor
for tho dogs who crouched nt their mas
ter's feet. At a later date it was put in
a asket and given to tha poor who
gathered at tho manor gate.
Duriug tho latter part of the Middle
Ages tho most conspicuous object on
the table was the saltcellar. This was
generally of silver. In tho form of a
ship. It was placed In the center of the
long table at which tho household
gatherod, my lord und lady, their family
and guests, being nt one ond and tholr
retainers and servants at the other. So
one's position in regard to the salt was
a test of rank tho gentlefolks sitting
'above tho salt" and the yeomanry
below it.
In the houses of tho great nobles
dinner was served with much oere
mony. At tho hour a stately proces
sion entered the hall. First came sev
eral musicians, followed by the stow
nrd bearing his rod of office, and then
came a long line of servants carrying
different dishes.
Some idea of the variety and profusion
may be gained from the provision made
by King Henry III. for his housohold at
Christmas, 1254. This included 81 oxen,
100 pigs, 858 fowls, 39 hares, SO rabbits,
0 pheasants, SO partridges, 48 woodooolc,
89 plovers and 3,000 eggs. Many of our
favorite dishes have descended from the
Middlo Ages. Macaroons hjvve served
as dessert slnoe the days of Chaucer.
