good of others in the spread of practical
knowledge in regard to the great in

ourselves, but it is what we do for
others that will count in the great

No Man Necessary.

1t is said that when some of Napole-

out of danger, for the sake of France,
he replied, "No man is necessary"

A Watch With One Wheel.

\ curiosity in the way of watches was
shown by MIR T. Sordet, director Of the
Watchmakcrs' School at Geneva before
the theological section of the Society of
Ars. This wonder is nothing less than
a watch with one wheel, manufactured
N Paris in the last century By a Mr..
Gautrin. The watch was presented to
the National Institute in 1880 being

How Things Get Lost.

InexcusabIe carelessness exhibited by
some people in the handling of valuable
property; aud the ease with which things
may be mslaid and lost, are illustrated
by a lecture latelcy delivered by DR.
Wilson before the American Gyne.
Geological society. He gave thirty in
stances in which various articles, such as
sponges, forceps. and other things, had
been left in the abdominal cavity of
patients who had undergone the operation
Of laparotomy This operation, it may
be stated, consists in cutting through
The walls Of the abdomen in the lumbar
region, aud in it many appliances are
employed. 1t is in this direction that
the carelessness referred to occurs. Here
are thirty instances in wi ich physicians
have left their Instruments in the
abdominal cavities of patients, having
sewed up the opening, and had gone
away, and did not probably discover
their loss until the patents were dead
buried. Some steps should be taken
to end this ruinous waste. Possibly
there might be appointed by the State
md official whose duty it should be to at
END all the operations ending in
'lapa o.omy," and see that no valu. bic
property is lost by being left in the incised
ragion".
OF course these implements so left are
'fno value to the patient, but dead
oss to the surgeon The habit is ono
hat should be discouraged, and when
surgeon has become confirmed in leaving
lis tools around in this cpreless way he
hould not be allowed to replace them by
circulating subscription paper.

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS

The President STAGE the adjournment

ments, which action he is required uu-
der the Tenure Of Office Act to report
to the Senate within thirty days after
the meeting Of the next Congress. We
presume that, Of course, he viii comply
with the law on this point; and this viii
bring up the question whether ,he Sen.
ate shall confirm or reject ti,ese aaoint-
mcnts. The President, being Demo
Graf, has naturally filed the 'lcaneles
by appointing Democratic incumbents.
The Senate is Republican, and would
undoubtedly have preferred that lie
publican incumbents should remain in
Office. 1t is to be hoped that there will
be no unseemIy party collision between
the President and the Senate on this sub

rights, as we'll as the Senate, under
the Constitution of the United States;
anc the latter should not undertke to
gmbarrass him in the exercise of these

moved a Republican from Office, and put
a Democrat in his place, whether ex-
Pedient or not on his part, is not of itself
a sufficient reason for rejecting an APP

Is to enter upon purely party struggle
with the President, which, in our iudg-
mcnt, would be undignihed on the part
Of the Senate. Let the appointment in
each case be considered upon its merits.

Air and Sunshine.

Light and life are inseparab'e; that is,
such was the generally received opinion
many years ago, and in accordance with
it, houses we're built, literally supplied
with windows, and as literally now, but
20 along any of the fashionable streets of
New York. and you will find not less
than three, and often six, distinct con
trivances to keep out the sunshine and
gladness First, the Venetian shutter
on the outside; second, the close shutter
on the inside; third, the blind which is
moved by rollers; then fourthly, there
are the lace curtains; fifth, the damask or
the other material In the same train
come the exclusion of external air by
means of double sash and variety of
patent contriyances to keep any little
stray wi if of air from entering at the
bottom sides and top of doors and
windows. At this rate, If We will, in
due time, dwindle into Lilliputs, indeed
we do not die off sooner, with all science
and art, and leave the world to begin
anew, fom the few sons of the forest
who persisted in eschewing civilization.
