Snow, the surgeon, described ether as
the tfnder-box, and cbioroiorm US the
lucifer-match--by which he meant to
convey the idea that ether Is the clum-
siest, and at the same time the safest
agent. Within few months of the in
production Of etner-viz.: July, 1e7-a
death took place from Its effects at the
Hotel Dfeu NAuxerre, and in the course
of the same year other deaths, assumed
to be from ether, were reported. The
effect OF these events were startling,
and shook the confidence OF the profess
sion SO seriously that II chlor0ferm had
not been introduced 1t is doubtful
whether general an@sthesia would have
held its ground at all. ChlOroform
came to the rescue, and with it's employ
ment a given and caloulable mortality.
1t having been pretty cel tainly proved
that chloroform kills at the rate of one
to every $500 who inhale it for an@sthe-
sia, ether has again reg gained it's position
in the operating theaIer. 1t has, how
ever, proved less handy and more. ex-
penslve than its substitute, and within
a period of few months, in Great Brit
ain alone, q youth has died simply from
it's effects, two adults during Its action,
and more than one case OF all but fatal
character have been observed. Ether
having been administered 80 infinite
number OF times less than chlorolorm, 1t
is almost next 10 impossible at the pre-
sent time to form anything like correct
estimate OF the comparative safety Of
the two agents.

The POetical BedOuIn.

A writer says: The Bedouins pride
themselves on having much more intelli-
gence and refinement, romance and pO-
etry than the settled Arab races; they
have an especial contempt for the fella-
hin. One day Bedouin threw this in the
face Of q Christian leliah. They had some
high words about it, upon which Ihe
Bedouin said, "Well, thou shalt come to
our tents. / will ask my daughter but
three questions; we will note her an
swers. l will accompany thee to thy
village, and thou shalt ask thy daughter
the same three questions, and we will
compare her language with my daugh-
ter's. Both are uueducated. My daugh-
ter knows naught but Natures language.
Thine may have seen something OF towns
or villages and passers-by, and have
some advantage over mine."
They first went to the camp.

The ground was stony, and slae ham,
mered at the peg.

A dinner ser father knew he had rice
on ms mead, and that the girl was

She called him: "My father, the light

..Ilow dost thou know, . my daugh.

"The anklets are cold to my feet; l
smell the flowers on the river bank, and
the sunbird is ,singing.n
Thence they went to the fellah's viii
lage. 1t was now his turn.
Fellah-.My daughterw
Girl-s.W hat do you want, fatherW
sTake our horses and picket thsm."
The ground being hard, she hammered
uselessiy, and, losing her temper, threw
down the stone, crying:
II have knocked it SO hard, and 1t
won't 60 In"
"Change it then, sifl."
At dinner he purpossly dropped some
rice on his beard. She pointed at him,
began to laugh, and said. "Wipe your
chin, my fatner."
Oagoing to bed he said: "Waks us
early, my daughter
"Yes, father" she replied.
"Faiher," she called at dawn, "get
up; it is daylight"
"How do you know, my daughter?n
"My stomach is empty; want to eat"
The fellah was obliged to acknowledge
the. superiority of Bedouin household
oyer his own.

Bats are the inveterate enemy of the
mosquito and should therefore receive
protection from all who dread those
pests. A gentleman uptown keeps q
bat in his bedroom tor the express pur-
pose OF destroying the mosquitoes. The
bat flew in at the window some time
ago, and after a number of gyrations hid
behind some OF the furniture, and up to
this time his hiding place remains a Sc
cret, several fruitless searches having
been made Tor il. Every night the bat
makes tours of the room, during which
he gobbles up the flies and mosquitoes
and then retires to mis- den, remaining
perfectly quiet,

Ether and Chloroform,

Mr.. George Pollock, well-known
medical authority in England, has writ
ten letter to the London Times, calling
public attention to the superior quail
ties Of ether over chlorolorm as an
anasthetic agent. Chloroform, he as
serts, is by no means 'sunfrequently IA
tai, even when administered by exper-
fenced hands;" the other anesthellc--
etner-s.may ne used most freely, is de-
void Of danger when pure, and has
