the sons of Ham waiting upon the tables

tiers taking in washing at eighty cents a

Noah's success as a weather prophet
seems to have inspired people in all ages
to try their luck in predicting events of
the future. Mother Shipton, if reports are
true, made quite hit in foretelling disas-
ters. but she was shrewd enough to post
pone her disasters till after she had been
dead for half a century, lest she might be
compelled to make explanations that
might not be altogether pleasant. Miller
and his disciples predicted the end of all
things many years ago, but notwithstand-
ing the fact that the celestial robes of the
chosen few had been prepared beforehand,
and that they were seated upon the house
tops awaiting the sprouting of the feath-
ers that were to become wings and bear
them speedily to the golden streets of the
New Jerusalem, the trumpet of Gabriel
didn't sound, and the saints were COM
PEELED TO return to their everyday occupa-
tions of washing dishes and hoeing pota-
toes.
Tice, and Vennor, and Couch, and
Hazen, and Virgins, have each, within the
past ten years, endeavored to anticipate
the future by predicting the sort OF
wea ther we were to be favored or afflicted
| with. Like all men who throw iavelin at
mark continually, they have succeeded in
hitting it occasionally, but their failures
are innumerable and far outnumber their
successes. We're it not for the gullibility
of the ignorant, the predictions of these
self-appointed seers would provoke only g
laugh, and be forgotten almost as soon
as made. But the assumption OF
superior scientific knowledge" on the part
Of these charlatans has inspired a certain
degree of respect for their opinions in tbs
minds of the common herd, who cannot
permit their anguries of evil omen tt
pass without feeling great deal of ankle
ty. Hence the perturbation caused by
the prediction of Canada's lates

DURING the last four months the expert
trade of the United States exceeded the
imports by the sum of ninety-three mill
lions of dollars, and yet it is stated that
this balance of trade in our favor brought
less than eight millions IN specie from
Europe to settle the difference. This
means, of course, that American securities
held abroad, were returned in adjustment
of accounts. During January the exports
from the southern states we're quite large,
the port of New Orleans being second to
New York in amount of shipments, and
Galveston ranked third. The expectations

Now that congress has adjourned the
Washington correspondents seem to be
hard up for sensations, and they have set
their wits to work to invent them. Their
latest production is a blood Gu riding story
of an attempt to assassinate ex-Secretary
Blaine. The fact that the window Of his
carriage was shattered the other evening
is the only basis for the story, which Mr..
Blaine treats with supreme contempt
There is no motive that any one could
have for taking tina life of the ex-secretary,
and in the absence of such motive it is
reasonable to conclude that a stone thrown
by mischievous boy broke the glass
about which so much has bssn tsls-
yraphed.

another about him: A few days before ad-

went over to Tabor's seat. Shaping him

What Surgery Can Do.

The London Lancet, in publishing
its record of the progress Of medi-
cine in its many departments during
the last year, gave some of the more
prominent points connected with
surgery. Some of the operations
seem almost miraculous, and were
regarded as impossible previous to
experiment. No region of the body
| is now considered beyond the scope
| of surgery. It's most marked tri-
umphs relate to the internal organs
and cavities. @
| What has rendered the operations
comparatively safe is the use of anti
septics-fluids that prevent putrefac-
ton in the wounds. Hitherto carbol.
ic acid has been the chief agent used.
But this proved more or less dan
gerous-sometimes fatally so-in
other directions. A much safer and
equally effective substitute has been
found in what is called eucalyptol,
which is obtained from the eucalyp-
tus tree.
Abscesses of the liver have been
freely and successfully cut into and
drained. Large parts of the stomach
have been cut out, including even
the pylorus, which is the more high
" organized part of the stomach
| that shuts in the food until digest
ion Is carried to certain extent and
then opens and pours it into the in
testines.
! Entrances have been made thru
