A Sick Chinaman's Prescription.

"Have you ever been in joss houseT
asked San Franciscan of Chicago
Neps reporter. "No9 thought not.
Well, son, in a joss house they have got
variegated wooden gods, whose business
it is to look out for peace and war, health
aud sickness, and the medical god is the
toughest looking piece of statuary ! ever
saw. Down at the foot of his throne
there is a steel cylinder ten inches high
and about four inches in diameter. On
that is a bundle of bamboo sticks twelve
inches long and all numbered differently.
Say that smallpox breaks out in coolly's
family. He goes to the joss house, and
the priest shakes up the cylinder, chews
up little choice Chinese, and tosses out
one of the sticks. The sick Chinaman
takes this to Chinese drug store and
gets the prescription to correspond with
the number 1t is just as liable to be a
specific for corns as a cure for smallpox,
but everything goes when it is backed up
by the joss, and so funerals are frequent
and satisfactory. ~ Chicago NeaOs.

A Wonderful Operation.

A recent issue of the Cincinnati En-
quirer gives the subjoined account of
wonderful surgical operation: DR.. G.
G, McDermott has performed two opera
tions on patients eyes this week that
are considered marvellous by those who
have knowledge of the subject. The
patient is a little girl from Lebanon,
Ohio, who is now with her mother at
SO West Seventh street. Her name is
Mary Margaret Reardon, and her father
is an employe of the l.. B. and W. rail-
road. She is eleven years old, and has
been almost totally blind since birth, be.
ing afflicted with what is know as con-
genital cataracts. The centre of each
pupil had cataract, and she could only
see dimly from the circle around the
cataract. AS her mother said, she could
see dark objects moving, but could not
distinguish horse or COW from train
of cars. She had received an education
such as is given to the blind, and can
read very we'll the raised letters
which are used for the sightless.
Her parents had been anxious to have
something done for her eyes since she
was three years old, and taken her to
prominent specialists, who would not
guarantee that they could do her any
good. Within the last few weeks Dr.
McDermott has been treating her, and
Tuesday last he made an operation on
the left eye. He did not attempt to re-
move the cataract, but made an incision
in the lower part of the eye and formed
new pupil. He then bandaged the
eye and found yesterday that it had en-
tirely healed up without Inflammation
lie therefore repeated the operation on
the right eye yesterday afternoon.
The little girl, who had a fine, intelligent
face and pretty golden hair, was startled
when the bandage was removed yester-
day morning from the first eye operated
on, and declared things looked strange
to her. She took anaesthetics while the
operation was performed, and never
flinched or cried.
The doctor says that for a few days
his patient will have to wear ban
dage, and after that she will begin to
see and in few weeks be able to read
common type.
A number of physicians were present
when the dangerous operation was per
formed at DR.. McDermott's Office vester.
day, and unite in pralsing the physicians
skill BY the operation two artificial
pupils for the eye are formed.

Scattered Gold Dust.

When Ben Swasey moved into his new
house at Lower Springs some thirty years
ago the site of his old store became de
serted In those times Lower Springs
swarmed with miners, all making money
thand over first Rows of sacks con-
tanning gold dust stood under Swasey's
bar counter, each sack labeled with the
owners name, and whenever the owner
of the sack wanted to stand treat for the
crowd-and that was frequently the
sack was brought out and pinch OF
dust taken for each drink. This was the
way of making change in those days, a .
coin smaller than $50 slugs and $50 gold.
pieces was hard to get at AS matter
of course, the miners in their careless
way of handling their purses, often scat
tered considerable of the stuff on the
floor, where it went through the cracks.
Well Uncle Billy Howell, then young
man, thought OF this one day after the
old store had been form down, and went
and scraped up and panned out the "top
dirt over the spot where the building
had stood, and in one afternoon oiFRned
up 81, 100. = Stasta (Cat.) Courier.

Trout That Climb Falls.

Not long since / followed one of these
dashing trout streams from the valley up
the mountain.
Nature seemed to have done her bes,
to protect the little fishes that lived in
the dark, deep pools and eddies. The
higher l climbed up the mountain, the
more fish found; the stream became
succession of falls, some of which were
three feet or more in height--the brook
in its track forming steps down the
mountain-and began to wonder how
the fish came to be up there.
In the village, | chanced to mention
the subj ject to a friend who owned 6
mill on the same stream? and he told me
that the fishes ascent was puzzle to
him, until one day his boy called him
out to the dam, where the riddle was
solved. The dam was nearly four feet
high, and to relieve the stream, several
augur holes had been bored in it, allow.
ing small stream of water to jet forci-
bly, out and go splashing down into the
clear pool below. AS my friend ap.
preached the spot, and looked through
the bushes, several large sized trout were
seen moving about under the mimic fall,
evidently in great excitement, and DART
ing into it us if annoying the splash and
roar of the water.
Suddenly one of the fish made quick
rush that sent it up to the falling stream,
50 that it almost gained the top; but by
an unlucky turn it was caught and
thrown back into the pool, where it
darted away, evidently much startled.
Soon another made the attempt, dart
ing at it like the first, and then rapidly
swimming up the fall, but only to mest
the fate of its predecessor. This was
tried number of times, until finally d
trout larger than the others made dash,
mounted the stream and entered the
round hole. The observers were almost
ready to clap their hands, but it was not
successful yet AS the water stopped
/ flowing for moment they saw that
though the athletic trout had surmount-
/ ed the fall, the hole was too small for il
to pass through and there the poor fish
was lodged. The lookers-o fastened tc
relieve it, and found that its side OIL
pectoral fins were caught in the wood,
but by pushing the fish ahead, which you
may be sure they did, they liberated it,
and it darted away into the upper pond
Here, then, was the explanation. The
trout climbed the mountain by swimming
up the falls, darting up the foaming
masses, and adopting every expedient to
accomplish their journey. For these fish
deposit their eggs high up stream, sc
that the young fry when hatched may
not be disturbed by predatory fish and
other foes living in the lower waters

The White Flag.

The troops of both armies, l think,
had before the close of the second year
of the war, inspired each other with mu-
tual respect, and on the occasion for
burial of the dead, as at Autietam, Fred
ericksburg, Second Manassas, etc., they
were glad to meet each other and dis
cuss materially the feature of the battles.
1t was particularly observable on such
occasions that the most scrupulous
courtesy was exhibited, and if battles or
campaigns were referred to it was with
the kindliest expressions of reciprocal
respect. The braggart or the bully had
no place in such a scene. By the way,
of all the experience of soldiers hard
lot, to be detailed to bury the dead is
the most disagreeable except to those
ghoulish natures-and they are found in
every army-who anticipate harvest Of
va!uables from rtling the dead bodies.
Even to this day, sometimes in dreams,
l imagine myself the field slain, and
I can smell the sickening odor of blood
and hear the groans and cries of the
wounded and dying.
After the first battle of Fredericksburg
it was no uncommon sight to see an am,
bulance driven along with the whits
flag flying and accompanied by de-
tachment of blue coated soldiers with
shovels and picks to disinter the body Of
some officer or soldier who had fallen ia
that bloody fight. Frequently the widow
of the dead man sat in the ambulance 10
her sable weeds, and, as the funeral cor
tege passed, the Confederate soldiers on
the roadside, to man, would lift their
hats in token of respect. You see we all
recognized the valor with which the
Federals had charged on our frowning
works, in front of which every inch OF
ground was swept by the fire of our bat
teries. = Washington Republican.

KATE.

When languid cattle moo, and all
The land is dim with evenfall,
know my Kate is waiting ma
Expectantly-expectantly.
When chirping crickets family cry,
And pale stars blossom in the sky,
And twilight gloom has dimmed the bloom
And blurred the butterfly;
When locust blossoms heck the walk,
And up the tiger-ily stalk
The glowworm crawls, and clings, and falls
And glimmers down the garden walls;
When buzzing things, with double wings
Of crisp and rappish flutterings,
Go whirring by so very nigh
One thinks of fangs and stings-
Oh, then, within is stilled the din
Of crib she rocks the baby in,
And at the gate the latch's weight
Is lifted-and the lips of Kate!

And dancing on him for not being good,
