least ten interpretations. The
only item Of truth is that Mrs. Reid
most probably died (as asfrankly stated
by her physician) OF "Chloroform
Narcosis. This we regard aa simply
one Of the calamities Of surgery that
could not have been ioreseen or pre-
vented. The agent was, we have
reason to believe, given IN the mcSt
improved and careful method, IN the
presence Of witnesses, and probably
proved fatal because of some pecu.
liar c ndition Of Mrs. Reid's nervous
system, which amounted to an lido
syncrac7. The records of medicine
and surgery show many such cases.
The operation to have been perform
ed upon Mrs. Reid was luatlIlable
and necessary one. AT least two as
sis.ants were necessary and these as
aietanta were engaged by Dr.. Kin
loch with the d,stinct approval Of
Mrs. Reid, the only stipulation beng
| that she should be made unconscious
by chloroform before they were IN

The Old-FashiOned Mother.

Thank God, some of US have had
an old fashioned mother. Not a wo-
man of the period enameled and
painted, with her great chignon,
her curls and hustle, whose white
jeweled hands'never felt the clasp
of baby fingers but a dear old-fash-
Toned, sweet-voiced mother, with
eyes in whose clear depths the love-
light shone, and brown hair just
threaded with silver, lying smooth
upon her faded cheek. Those dear
hands, worn with toll, that in child
hood smoothed our pillow in sick
ness, ever reaching out to us in
yearning tenderness. Blessed is the
memory of an old-fashioned mother.
1t floats to US now like the beautiful
perfume from some woodland bios
SONS. The music of other voices
may be lost, but the enhancing
memory of hers will shine on.
When in the fttul pauses of busy
life our feet wander back to the old
homestead, and, crossing the we'll
worn threshold, stand once more in
the room SO hallowed by her pres
ence, how the feeling of childhood's
innocence and dependence comes to
us, and we kneel down in the mott
en- sunshine, streaming through
the open window-just where, long
years ago, we knelt by mothers
knee, lisping ''Our Father How
many times, when the teinpterlured
us on, has the memory of those sa-
cred. hours, that mothers words, her
faith and prayers, saved us from
plunging into the deep abyss Of sin.
Years have filed great drifts be-
tween her and US, but they have
not hidden from our sight the glory
of her pure, unselfsh love.

Saying Hateful" Things.

What a strange disposition is
that which leads people to say
"hateful" things for the mere plea
sure Of saying them. You are new
er safe with such a person. When
you have done your best to please,
and are feeling very kindly and
pleasantly, out will pop some UNI
dernand stab which you alone can
comprehend--a stab which is
masked, but which is too we'll
aimed to be misunderstood. 1t
may be at your person, your men
tai failing, your foolish habits OF
thought, or some little secret Of
faith or opinion confessed in a mo-
ment Of genuine confidence. 1t
matters not how sacred it may be
to you, he will have his fling at it
nay, since the wish is to make you
suffer, he is all. the happier the
nearer he touches your heart. Just
half a dozen words, only for the
pleasure Of seeing a cheek flush
and an eye lose its brightness, only
spoken because he is afraid you are
too happy or too conceited. Yet
they are worse than SO many blows.
How many sleepless nights have
such mean attacks caused tender
hearted men! How after them one
awaGes with aching eyes and head,
to remember that speech before ev-
erything-that bright, sharp, we'll
aimed needle Of a speech that
probed the very center of your

HeW to Eat an Orange.

There are various ways of over
coming the juicy perplexities in
VOWED in getting into and outside
OF this delicious fruit. The ordina-
ry plan Of removing the entdre skin
and deftly separating the pulpy
segments, one from another is rath-
er the most clearly one but unless
one wishes to swallow the tough in
tegument with the tender pulp, the
ultimate result is not more eatisfac-
tory than by some other methods.
The dear old spinsters in Mrs. Gas
kell's "Cranford'' used to retire to
their several apartments before at
tempting to dissect their iavorite
fruit, and then, in happy privacy,
disposed of them as they pleased.
But this is not always convention
al, and one must muster courage to
brave public opinion, and eat his
orange to please himself, if he real
Iy wishes to enjoy it to the full.
And our way is this: With a
sharp knife cut sort of 'torrid
zone, about an inch and 3 half
wide, around the orange, halve it
with a quick firm stroke SO as to save
all the juice, remove the seeds with
the point Of the knife, and then
go for the pulp in the only posi-
bile way! 1t IS quite as elegant as
eating sweet corn from the cob, and
just as satisfactory. The severed
segments yield up the juicy pulp

WOman's Influence on Social Life

Men as a rule are attracted by the
beautiful face, but it is an internal
beauty of character by which a We
man can exert the greatest amount
of influence. A true-minded man,
though first enamored by the glare
Of personal beauty, will soon feel
the hollowness of its charms when
he discovers the lack of beauty in
the mind. Inestimably great is the
influence that sweet-minded wo-
man may WELD over all around
her. 1t is to her that friends would
come in seasons of sorrow and sick
ness for help and comfort. One
soothing touch Of her kindly hand
would work wonders in the feverish
child; q few words let fall from her
lips in the ear Of a sorroWing sister
would do much to raise the load OF
grief that is bowling its victim in
anguish to the dust.

m general, but when he enters the
cosy sitting-room and sees the blaze
OF the bright fire, his slippers placed
by loving hands in readiness, and
meets his wife's smiling face, he sue
cumbs at once to the soothing inhu-
ence which acts as the balm of God
to his wounded spirits, that are
wearied with combating the stern
realities Of life.
The rough school-boy flies in a
rage from the haunts of his oompan-
ions to find solace in his mothers
smile; the little one, full of grief
with its own large trouble, finds a
haven of rest on its mothers bosom
and 50 one might go on with in

ence that a sWeet-minded woman
has in the social life with which
she is connected.

The Glory of Woman.

The Springfield Republican sew

young lady in Chicopee Falls,
Mass, named Ida Ferry, who was
alleged to have hair which would
trail half a yard on the floor, not
understanding she was of medium
height. | know a charming lady
in this city, who honors me with
her friendship, who has blonde
hair as fine as the thinnest of spun
silk which measures over two yards
in length, But probably the finest
head Of hair in the world is that of
the wife of Mr.. Halstead, the edi-
tor of the Cincinnati Commercial.
She is a beautiful woman to start
with, and her hair is more than
marvellous 1t is of that peculiar
tint or shade that Titan loved to
paint-a mixture Of brown and
spin gold that is rare to human
sight. 1t is wonderfully thick, and
when uncoiled and combed out,
covers her like the sheet Of wa
terfall. Its exact length | do not
know, but it is certainly longer
than the hair described in tie
