SURGICAL Tho opera.
ton Of lithotomy (removal Of stone
from the bladder), one of the most
severe and CT itical operations known
to the scierce of surgery, was success
fully performed on Tuesday upon Mr..
Henry Ii. Pitts, merchant of this
city, by DIR. David Kennedy. Several
friends Of the patient witnessed the
operation. Mr.. Pitts has suffered seve.
raj years from this difficulty, but 1t
WAS only q week before the operation
that he was made aware of the real
cause OF his complaint.
RRoovERY.-Mr. Henry q. Pitts
has recovered from the effects incident
to the operation, the close of the wound
being completed on the 18th day. His
general health is gcod-better than it
has been for years, while he is perfect.
" free from all those distressing symp-
toms 30 characteristic of the disease
with which he suffered. Had this and
similar cases used DIR. Kennedy's
FavOrite Remedy" in the early stages
Of the complaint the formation Of stone
would have been prevented. "Favor-
Ito Remedy" also purifies the blood,
cures Constipation OF the Bowels, and
all those diseases and weaknesses

Only let q woman be sure that she is
precious to her husband-not useful
not valuable, not convenient, simply,
but lovely and beloved let her be the
recipient Of his polite and hearty atten-
tons let her feel that care and love
are noticed, appreciated, and returned
let her opinion be asked, her approval
sought, and her Judgment be respected
in matters of which she is cogniIant ];
in short, let her only be loved, honored,
and cherished, in fulfllment of the
marriage vow, and she will be to her
husband, and her children and society,

Unsettled Convictions.

To be constantly agitated about what
is "good" and what is "bad form, u
to feel the eternal necessity Of being on
the alert In respect Of it, involves the
confession that one who exhibits such
a mental condition Is not to the manor
born, since we seldom discourse about
those things which are everyday mat
tiers to US. as natural as breathing and,
II one talks too fuently about the lux.
uries of the table, the responsiveness OF

the li0tener has naturally right to
suspect that these are things to which

A very young girl Is certainly not
capable OF choosing . husband.
She takes II for granted that men are
always ss she seas them In society I:
polite, friendly. and on their good be.
havtor.
II she marries early In life the man
who happens to please her fancy, she
learns to her sorrow that, In nine cases
out Of ten, nan at home and man In
society are widely different beings.
Five years at that period of life pro.
duce great ohangs In opinions and
feeling.
We frequently come to detest at
twenty -fve what we admired at six
teen.
Changes take place in the moral and
spiritual nature.
Why should we feel the same toward
persons in after life, when we have
learned TO distinguish between the false
and the true, the bad and good.
How few, comparatively, Of the
schoolgirl friendships extend into later
life.
How few OF our companions In society
do We love as we'll after twenty years
have passed.
How few even of our own brothers
and sisters in whom We do not See faults
We could wish eradicated.
Considering all this, how 10 1t possible
for one to feel surprise when . couple
who marry In their teens grow 70 love
each other less ~ the years roll by?
When both grow alike. whether 1t be
rapidly or slowly, backward or for.
ward. there is small hope of their ever
seeing each other with the same eyes
but when one progresses and the other
retrogrsdes, . difference springs UP be-
tween them, and in time one looks
down upon the other with feeling OF
superiority, perhaps unconfessed, but
still there; while the other, unable to
perceive the real cause Of the trouble,
grows ut length to dislike what was
once loved.
And thus 1t happens that those who
loved a. sixteen were Indifferent q,
twenty-five.
One great cause of early marriage II
the pernicious habit Of calling q girl
who remains unmarried until twenty
five, an old maid"
This Is done by many well.meanine
but thoughtless persons, who would bs
sorry TO think that any act or expires
sion OF theirs had ever caused one ar
hour Of misery ; yet this very dread Of
being called an old maid has driver
more women into marriage and lifelong
misery than any other thing, excepting
perhaps, poverty.
1t 10 q mistake to think that single
life is any less noble than marriage. Is
pecially II the spirit Of disoord is per
mitted to infiict Its horrors upon q
whole household.

Learn your business thoroughly.
Keep at one thing-in nowise change.
Always be in haste, but never Ia q
hurry. Observe system in all you do

self.reliant do not take TOO much nd
Woe, but rather depend on yourself.
Never fail to keep your appointments,
nor to be punctual to the minute. Never
be idle. but keep your hands or mind
usefully employed, except when sleep

Health, like success In life, Is to be
gained by paying attention to details.
1t Is better TO try to keep from catching
cold than TO he always trying to avoid
infection. More can be done to check

by using Olsen fectants. Nature gives
