A STUDENT % years old. in the College OF

The Doctor attached small drill to the
instrument and cut on. portions of the hin
bone up to its head, distance of four
inches. These pieces of bone under the
microscope showed disease. The doctor
then used still larger drills until there was
space large enough to admit the entrance

the exact condition of affairs inside of the
bone. To do so he used novelty for this

ROBERTS introduced inside of the passage in

and cut out the diseased bone wherever it
was necessary as easily as if the bone were

The good We can each accomplish in
this world is small The good that ali
men in all ages could accomplish if
they would is vast. But in order that
this may be done each working being
must serve his own generation and do
his part 10 render the next generation
more efficient.-T. d. Woolscy.
When you make a mistake don't look
back at it long. Take the reason of
the thing into your own mind. and
then look forward. Mistakes are les.
sons of wisdom. The past cannot be
changed. The future is yet in your
power.-Hugh White.
Get into the habit of looking for the
silver lining of the cloud, and when YOU

Doing nothing for others is the un-
