What Surgery can do.

The London Ldncet, III publishing it's
record of the progress of medicine in
its many departments during the last
year, gave snme Of the more prominent
points connected with surgery. Some
Of the operations seem almost mracu-
lOus, and were regarded as impossible
previous to actual experiment. No
region of the body is now considered
beyond the scope of surgery. It's most
marked triumphs relate to the internal
organs and cavities.
What has rendered the operations
comparatively safe is the use of antisep-
tics-fluids that prevent putrclaction in
the wounds. Hitherto carbolic acid
has been the chief agent used. But
this proved more or less dangerous
sometimes fatally so-in other direc-
tons. A much safer and equally oircc-
tive substitute has been found in what
is called eucalyptol, which is obtained
from the eucalyptus tree.

Unole Gurdon's Parcel.

Near one of our Atlantic seaports
there resides an old whaling captain
commonly known as Uncle Gurdon.
To keep from getting rusty he made
his home on the river bank, where he
could keep boat and fish or paddle
about as he liked. The place was
about five miles from the city, and as
occasion required Uncle. Gurdon and
his wife would journey downward for
the purpose of shopping. Reaching
the city, the horse and wagon would be
left at the water trough on the Parade
and each would go in different direc-
tions, carrying their. bundles to this
common receptacle, the first through
waiting for the other. On one of these
shopping excursions Uncle Gurdon
made several trips to che wagon, finding
zach time that additions had been made
to the store Of bundles-a sign that his
wife was busy. Having completed his
purchases, he unhitched his horse, and
nc fcrryboat having arrived, climbed
into the wagon and drove on board.
While crossing the river one of his
acquaintances stepped up and asked
how he was getting on.
"Well, Pm getting Oh nicely, but Pm
bothered just now.
"Why, has anything gone wrong?"
"No, nothing special; but I came
down to do some shopping, and I've
forgotten a parcel l was to get,n and
the old gentleman scratched his head

"Well, I wouldn't worry. You will
think of it next time," said the neigh
Dor; and the boat having reached the

and went on toward home.

Mounting camel is not difficult, but

raises his hind quarters suddenly, and
throws you upon his neck, and before
you recover from that he straightens up
his knees and gives you q jerk over his

Off with that dislocated walk which sets

cious saddle. Not having a hinged

Tho I.ongstOno.

In the parish Of st. Nrabyn, in East
Cornwall, England, and on the high
road from Bodmin to Camelford, is Il
group of houses Zone of them yet II
smiths shop known by the name Of
Longstone. The curious traveller pass

such a name, for there is no tall mono
llth, such as are not uncommon in
Cornwall, to be seen near it. The
leason is thus given: In lack of rec

smith. This smith was a keen fellow,
who made and mended the plows and
harrows, shod the horses Of his neigh
Ebors, and was generally serviccable.,
He had also great skill in farrery and
III the general management and cure Of
sick cattle. He could also extract tha,
stubbornest tooth, even il the law re-
sisted ml,;' s0HHa gyrations around the
anvil were required.
There seems ever to have been i'll
blood between devil and smith, tcste
Dunstan and others, and 50 it was be-
tween the fiend and the smitl-farrier-
dentist Of st. Mabyn. At night there
were many and fierce disputes between
them in the smithy. The smith, as the
rustics tell, always got the advantage of
his adversary, and gave him better
than he brought. This success, bow
ever, only fretted old Nick and spylrred
him OH to further encounter. What
the exact matter Of controversy on this
particular occasion was is not remem-
bercd, but it was agreed to settle it by
some wager, some trial of strength and
skill. n twO-acre field was near, and
the smith challenged tho devil to the
reaping Of each his acre in the shortest
time. The match came off, and the
devil was beaten; for the smith had
beforehand stealthily stuck here and
there over his opponents acre some
harrow tines or teeth.
The two started well, but soon the
strong swing of the fiend's scythe was
being brought up frequently by some
obstruction, and as frequently required
the milestone. The dcXtcrous and
agile smith went on smoothly with his
acre, and was soon Enthusiastically gaining.
The devil, enlnged at Ills certain dis
| cOmtiture, hurled his milestone at his
rival and flew Off. The MILESTONE,
thrown with great violence after sundry
whirls in the air, fell upright into the
soil to II great depth, and there re-
manned witness againt the evil one
for ages. The devil avoided the neigh
Dorhood while it stood. In an evil
hour the farmer at Trcblethick near
set his heart upon the Longstone, for
there were gate posts and door posts to
be had out of it, and he threw it down.
That night the enemy returned, and
has haunted the ncighborhood ever
| since.
