Il GRATIFYING MEDICAL PRoaREss. s.-An
English physician recently remove d a
section of a patients liver, placed it on
plate, scraped it carefully and returned it
to its place, fully restored to its normal
action. This promises to work reyoIu-
ton in the treatment of disease, and in
few years we will have an addition to
domestic literature something like this !:
" Husband, | wish you would take
Johns right lung down to the doctor
this morning. and have the middle valve
fixed, or, viii you stop into the doc
tors when you come home this noon, and
see if he has Mary's liver mended, as she
wants to go QUITO tea this evening T. The
practice will become SO common in time.

AcoUNTRNAN bought shirt in Raleigh,
N. c., which was the first white one he
had ever owned. The next Sunday he
was to be married, and that was the inn
portant occasion that had excited him to
the purchase. The shirt had very nice
starched bosom, and was open in the
back--a style that was new to the pos
SCISSOR. After careful study he put it on
with the opening in front, concluding
that the stiff bosom was intended as
kind of shoulder-brace to make him stand
erect. Thus dressed, he met the bride
at the church door but her knowledge
was greater than his about shirts, and
she made him go home and reverse the
garment before she would allow the cere-

A NEW WOMAN LECTURER IN LONDON,

A very large company naq assembled
to hear an address to be given by lady,
Mrs. Anna Besant swho, ,rfrom being the
wife of High Church clergyman, has
become q radical writer and speaker
Her husband separated from her for this
reason. She has the highest culture, and
is acquainted not only with the various
European languages, but with the bear
ings of their. literature on the subjects
on which she is particularly Interested
She is what may fairly be described as
beautiful, being less than 80 years of age,
and with the soft .clenr eyes. rich brown
hair delicate oval face, and refined fea-
lures, which make the best type of Eng
lish beauty. She is rather under the ave-
r.ge size, and dresses with taste that
c.n only be .ascribed TO the influence of
lucation in Paris acting upon mind
naturally endowed with fine artistic
sense. She stood on the platform hab-
tied in rich black silk skirt and black
velvet basque, with white lace rnffie
around the neck. There is 10 gesticula-
ton, and yet an occasional slight bend

scious movement of the shapely head, or

gestures, which are the natural accom-
paniments of mere defamation. Al
though she is in sympathy with the move
ment for the acknowledgements of her sex,
her main work is that of q religious free

Circumstances Alter Cases.

The other day while Vicksburger
was riding toward Jackson ia his
buggy he saw long haired young
man sitting on roadside fence.
There was such an air of utter des-
olation about the countrynan that

quired:
"For Gods sake, what ails you,
Young man?'
Nothing, for Gods sake!" was
the meek reply.
"But is any one dead?'

"Well, you look bad. In fact you

MEXICAN ANNEXATION.

Much excitement and speculation
has existed in this generally quiet
community for a day or two On sc-
count OF the reported cession OF the
Mexican states lying south and west
of the Rio Grande, including all of
Lower California. These reports pur-
port to be based upon authentic in
formation from high officials atWash-
ington and even asserted that treaty
had been draied and, with the approx
al of both Presidents. would be sub
miited TO Congress at the coming
session. But later dispatches deem
the whole thing a sensational hoax,
and there is little doubt that such is
really the case. In the first place a
treaty or any action tending to the
Acknowledgement of Mexico cannot
be expected under their present con
stitution, and it cannot be changed or
amended except by an act Of their
Congress, and ratified by two thirds
vote of the legislatures OF the differ
ent States comprising the Mexican
Republic. There is possibly a
scheme on foot TO make, if possible,
a change in the boundary lines of
the two Republics, as reported, and
in all probability the wish is father
10 the lie. II our Government could
secure the several states Of that Re-
public referred to in the dispatches.
in lieu OF the debt it is reported they
owe us. We should consider it the
most valuable acquisition we have
made since the treaty Of Guadalupe
Hidaldo. The territory in an agri-
cultural point of view, is we'll adapt
ed to stock-raising, and is probably
richer in mineral than our prided
Comstock silver mines. But it is
useless to discuss either its merits or
dement's, as there is little probability
that it will, for some years to come,
lie guarded by our victorious ban
ners.

yICE.PREsIDENT WILSON.

The fag-staffs bear but half Dur
den to-day. The banners hang be-
tween base and crown, and all who
gaze upon them know that they note
the death Of some one of more than
ordinary importance. And when
told that Henry Wilson, Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States, has passed
to the bosom of his God, a pang of
regret shoots through the heart and
gives the thoughts a melancholy
tinge. The subject of this article
was born February 16, 1912, and
seems to have been marked by DIES.
tiny as a favorite son. His know
edge was not gained within college
walls, or impaired by the learned
and wise-except in the historical
and biographical works which he
eagerly perused by the soft rays OF
the moon or the Pickering flame OF
the freight. When by hard labor
and rigid economy he had accumu
lated sufficient to defray the expenses
of an academic education, he found,
to his sorrow, misfortune's whitening
hand was upon him, for ere he had
scarcely began his studies, the person
in whose care the money was In
trusted became insolvent, and he was
forced to return to his workbench.
Brave and courageous heart how
many weary hours marked its throb-
bling, while bound down to uncon-
genial laborl how often, despite the
days hard task, did the midnight
chimes find him pursuing knowledge

stances? how many dreams of "vault-
ing ambition" of noble inspirations,
fitted through his lurid brainl He
who gave it alone can tell.
In 1910 he made his first appear
ance in the political field. In 1s45
he made his first, and in many re-
spects greatest speech against slav-
cry. In 1850 and 1851 he was elected
to the State Senate. and in 1855 was
elected to succeed Edward Everett in
the United States Senate. In 1872
he was elected toihe second position
within the gift of the people-the
Vice-Presidency of the United States.
During the thirty-fve years of his
political life he has not only been
above reproach, but proved himself
a true and staunch advocate of human
rights, and an incorruptible servant

THE SHAKES.
or cartoon +?

The Alton Telegraph" tells a
chilly story about the extent of the
fever and ague prevailing in that
region of country. Everybody has
the shakes, and business, especially
with the farmers, is greatly retarded
in consequence. Doctors have more
TO do than they can attend TO. One
drug house in that city had orders
for 100000 grains of quinine during
the week-equivalent to 100000
doses. 1t has already sold 100000
grains of quinine, and is unable to
fill its orders, which come by mail
and telegraph from all surrounding
points. Saturday the firm ordered
100000 grains from Chicago, and
were expecting an invoice of 100000
grains more from the East, previously
ordered. In connection with this
matter, We notice that the Boston
journal of Health " says the only
sensible way to take quinine IS in
large doses-ten or twelve grains at
time. Smaller doses, i. SAYS, only
feed the disease. While it does not
believe in encouraging the employ
ment of medicine, it feels bound to
say that quinine, periodically admin
istered, has proven the only dead
shot" for fever and ague in our
practice.-Peoria Transcript.
