WANTS Us TO EAT Our FOOD
RAw.-A German physician in
relation to food as between animal
and vegetable holds that "both
vegetarians and meat eaters are
on the wrong track. Vegetables
are not more wholesome than
meat or meat than vegetables, and
nothing is gained by consuming a
compound of both. Whatever nu-
tritive qualities they may possess"
he says, "are destroyed in great
measure and often entirely by the
process of cooking. All food should
be eaten raw. If this practice
were adopted there would be little
or no illness among human beings.
They would live their apportioned
time and simply fade away, like
animals in a wild state, from old
age." 1t is hardly probable that
he will find many civilized beings
to fall into his views of eating
everything raw.

The following was New Haven

offence, 4Os., the second, "a, for
the third shall be imprisoned or

record has just been found show
ing that under this law Jacobeth
Murtine and Sarah Tuttle got into
trouble by setting down on a
chestle together, his arme around
her waiste, and her arme upon
his shoulder or about his neck, and
continuing in that sinful posture
about half an hour, in which time

reason I have missed him for 80
long
'Arrah, miss, here's the docther.'
Stop him, Mary. ] will 90 in
here. Remember, Mary, you don't
know my name!' and Eva went
into another little room vacant,
and adjoining that of the in
valid's. The door stood ajar, and
Dr.. StanIey's first exclamation
after entering reached her.
Harold! have I found you at
last, and in such place p
Eva's eyes ranged over the
capabilities Of the room in which
she stood, and she nodded, say
ing:
1t will do-larger and better
than the other, but poor place
at best
The next day, when Doctor
Stanley called to see his patient,
Mary, with a pardonable pride,
ushered him into the room that
had been vacant before. A soft
carpet was on the floor, and fire
in the CRATE. Soft muslin cur
tains, snowy white, draped the
window. The bed could scarcely
be recognized, with its pure,
white pillows, counterpane, and
sheets. A little table stood beside
the bed, with the medicines the
doctor had ordered, and decan-
ter Of cooling drink.
THE lady ye mind l told you
of, that sent ye to Terry said
Mary. we arranged the room
yesterday, and my good man and
moved him to-day, 50 she'll find
him here when she comes. It's
sound asleep he's been for better
than three hours, SIR
Two hours later Harold was
still asleep, but then be opened
his eyes. The cold, cherries room
was changed, as if by enchant-
mont; and (Harold thought he
was dreaming) an angel face bent
over him, with plying eyes and a
smile tendor as a mothers over
her child.
Eva + be whispered. 'Oh: that
could die in such dream, and
never awake TO the bitter, hope
less love! Let me die nowp
Was it a dream, that sweet, low
voice answering him Z?
Harold, you will not die-you
will live-live for me! Your &C.
MUS shall be recognized, your pic
lures sought. No more strug-
Cling for life, but only for
fame
And the tears fell as she spoke.
Doctor Stanley, standing in the
doorway, recognized the ballroom
belle, and the object of his friends
long, silent, hopeless love.
Softly he glided down the stairs,
for he knew that a better medi-
cine than he could prescribe was
within the patients grasp.
And the world said Just think
of Eva Marston, rich, and such a
belle, marrying Harold Graham,
the artist, who was as poor as a
church mouse p

The good man loves al! mon.
He loves to speak Of the good OF
others. All within the four seas
are his brothers. Love of man is
chiet of all the virtues. The mean
man sows, that himself may reap
but the love Of the perfect man is
universal.

DAUGHTERS SURGERY,

A middle-aged lady, who resides
near Wellers, Pa, was afflicted by
that terrible disease, scrofula, the
seat of the disorder being in her
head. She suffered terrible agony
from the pressure Of tn. diseased
Uranium upon the brain, and her
physician decided that the only
means Of relief was the removal Of
the top Of her skull. He neyr at
tempted the operation, however,
fearing she might die from it's
effects. The woman continued to
suffer, and her son, who was
afflicted with the same. disease,
determined to take the risk and
perform the operation. He was
considerable Of a mechanical gem
ius, and he soon constructed a fine
saw for the purpose, the material
used being wire from an old hoop
skirt. After he had finished the
instrument, although he had no
surgical knowledge, he began the
operation of saving through the
skull at point about two inches
below the summit of the cranium.
After working some time at the
operation the young man was taken
ill and died. After his death the
lady's daughter, young lady of
nineteen Or twenty, decided to
| continue the work, and did so,
succeeding in removing the top of
her mothers head, relieving the
terrible pain, and probably saving
her life. She was occupied sew
eral days in the operation, which
was a delicate and dangerous one,
ordinarily only to be performed
BY the most skillful surgeons. IF
the improvised instrument had
been driven too deep and penetra-
ted the delicate covering Of the
brain, instant death would have
resulted, and that some accident
Of the sort did not occur is one Of
the most astonishing facts about
the matter. She undertook the
operation as desperate resort,
and the exercise of nerve which
sustained her was wonderful.
Once while working she tainted,
and frequently she would throw,
down the saw, declaring she could
60 no further. Her mother, whose
enormous will power was not less
wonderful, always urged her to
proceed, saying, eff can stand it,
you can do the same, as it is the
only way Of saving my life" No
anasthetic was used, and the
afflicted woman carefully watched
and directed the operation.
AS stated, instantaneous relief
followed the removal Of the dis
eased bone, although the disease
was not eradicated. The removed
bone was replaced by aysilken cap,
carefully fitted. The operation
was performed over six months
ago, and the lady was at last ac- g
counts, alive and cheerful, though,
Of course, confined to limited
sphere ofaction. She took a very
philosophical view Of the affair,
and seems grateful that relief was
afforded, although she will remain
an invalid for life. ......

There are many fruits that
never turn sweet until the frost
has touched them. There are
many nuts that never fall from
the bough Of the tree till the frost
has opened and ripened them.
And there are many elements of
life that never grow sweet and
beautiful till sorrow touches them.
