NEW YORK, July 26.-The Graphic says
A despatch was received from Washington
this afternoon which states that although the
Presidents physicians are very reticent enough

they have concluded that the President cannot
recover so long as the ball remains in him, and
therefore have determined to cut for it. This
is the last resort and the physicians themselves
are in doubt as to the result of the operation

The Age of the Earth.

At the Midland Institute, Biz
mingham, the other day, Prof. Ayr
ton delivered lecture in which he
gave some estimates of the earth's
age. In reply to the question OF
whether the earti's existence was to
be counted by the thousands or by
millions of years, he called attention
10 the geological evidences of organic
changes on the earth's surface which
required not much less than a hun
dred million years for the earth's age.
There was, however, better meth
cd Of appreximating 10 the age efthe
earth. The changes of temperature
belonging to the different seasons
were less perceptibly felt as they pen
etrated the substance of the earth,
until at a depth of about fifty feet
the temperature was practically con-
slant. If, however, they continued
to descend an increase of tempera-
ture was experienced at about the
rate of one degree per fifty feet of the
descent. Surprising this increase
went on at the same rate until the
centre of the globe was reached,
the temperatur would be 100000 de-
grees higher than at the surface.
There was, however, no reason to as
sumo that the increase did go on, or
that the temperature at the centre
was higher than that oil molten rock,
1000 degrees, or at most 10000 de-
grees. Assuming this to be the tenn
perature at the centre, and knowing,
by experiment, the conducting pow
er of rock 10 relation to heat, Sir
William Thomson was able to calcu-
tate the present distribution Of tenn
pera,ure throughout the whole earth,
not only 10 the present distribution
downward, but the distribution at
any future and at any past time.
Taking the temperature of 1000 de-
gtees a. having been once the uni
form temperature of the whole body,
the result of the calculations was that
the earth had been hundred mil
lion years in cooling.

Barnum on Pigs Feet.

"Broiled pigs feet la p. T. Bar

the Sturtevant House bill of fare, in
New York. "Pigs' feet, properly
cooked, were given to me to eat long
before was permitted to partake of
any other animal food" said Mr..
Barnum yesterday. "When old and
young feet are boiled tive and one.
half hours, as usual, the old ones are
tough and worthless. If they were
boiled three and one-half hours the
young feet would burst and the
gelatine swim away. Now, the secret
is to wrap each pigs foot in a Gotten
bandage wound two or three times
around It, and well corded with
Irvine. Then boil them four hours.
Let them remain in the bandages til
needed to fry, broil or pickle. The
skin will hold it together while be-
ing cooked. and when you ca: 1t you

glad to get hold of this new way of
cooking pigs feet. We say new. be-
cause it will be new to the general

Be Kind to the Children.

Oh, yes; they worry you with
their noise and prattle, but if the lit
tie feet should slip away and the
chattering tongue be stilled forever,
think you Would you ever hear mu-
sic so sweet again? All, how they
cling to you for protection, even as
the little vine clingeth to the sturdy
oak, and it lies in your power to raise
or crush these tender vines. Thew
are source of great care and anx-
iety to you; they tire you with their
opportunities, but if they were re-
moved, oh, how heavily the hours
would hang! You would then pine
for the cares of which you new COM
plain would be always wishing for
broken doll to mend or a muddy
boot to clean. Be gentle with the
children ; chide them in way that
will lead them to see their error.
Let not the flowers that are spring.
ing up in their young hearts be
stunted by harsh. unfeeling words.
BE patient, too, with them, They
tax you heavily at times. They are
often careless. frequently willful,
sometimes disobedient and rude but
they love you-yes, they love you
and with their love and sympathy
you are amply rewarded for your
patience. There may be time when
you will look back to these as your
happiest days-a time when the
bright faces that surround you now
may be waiting somewhere on the
other shore. when every unkind
word and act will loom up before
you and cause you unceasing regret.
Be kind to the little ones. Courier
