CAN SEE HIS HEART.
Unusual Surgery that Seems to Have
Saved the Life of Edgar jackson.

From the NetC \ ORR sun
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. If Edgar jackson has
an enemy who would like to tear out his heart
he would find it a very easy job. As a special
favor to mis- friends Mr.. Jackson sometimes
shows them big hole in his side, and let's them
take peep at his heart and his lungs. Although
he has big hole where five of his ribs ought to
be, and can count by sight of eye the beats of
his heart and watch the imitation of his lungs,
he has good appetite for his tri-daily meals,
and is robust and hearty.
little more than a year ago jackson was
taken i'll with malarial fever, and afterward had
pleurisy. A great deal of pus formed in the left
pleural cavity. and this was removed thirty
times in quantities varying from a gill to a
quart during two months. Finally he entered
the city and county hospital here, where he still
is Then he was pale, sick looking, emaciated,
and was more like a living skeleton in a dime
museum than anything else. On Aug. 3. he
submitted to the operation which furnished his
sole remaining chance for life. An incsion was
made ON his left side and a section about two
inches long was taken from each Of five ribs.
The purpose of the operation TO allow the
diseased matter to collapse and close the
graduating cavity. Through this opening the
lung was found to be almost collapsed. and the
action of the heart could be plainly seen. So
far the result of the operation has been success
full, and the patient expects to be able to leave
the hospital soon. But he will always have the
hole in mis- side

Many young ministers in England, it is
said, have revolted against the old fashion, d
theory that a man must carry a smooth
face into the pulpit The culture Of nous
taches has become somewhat general among
them, and crusade against the moustache
on the part of many congregations is the
result. The moustaches are said to capture
too many maidenly hearts. There is no
reason why a man with hair on his upper
lip should be less successful in ministerial
work than the clean-shaven man, but there
are many people in England who believe a
homely minister more desirable and useful
than a handsome one.

How to Be Healthy.

From the Merchants World
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet
Never lean with the back upon anything that
Is cold.
Never begin journey until the breakfast has
been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then Immediately
90 out into the cold.
Never omit regular bathing, for unless the
skin is in active condition the cold will close the
pores and favor congestion and other diseases
After exercise Of any kind never ride in an
open carriage or near the window of a car for a
moment. 1t is dangerous To health or even
life.
Merely warm the back by the fire, and never
continue keeping the back exposed to heat after
it has become comfortably warm. To do so is
facilitating

Rain Upon the Roof.

when the humid shadows mover
Over all the starry spheres
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
What bliss to press the pillo
OF cottage chamber bed,
And listen TO the patter
OF the soft rain overhead,
Every tinl1le on the shingles
Has an echo in my heart,
And a thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start,
And thousand recol ections
Weave their cir threads into WoS
AS listen to the patter
OF the rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my moth
AS she used in years agone,
To regard her darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn;
can see her bending DER me,
AS / list to the refrain
Which is played upon the shinglt
BY the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings and waving hair,
And her star-eyed chelub brother
A serene angelic pair
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reproof
AS ] listen to the murmur
OF the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And mind not musing on her
Tbat her heart was all untrue;
remember but to love her
With passion akin to pain
And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
Art hath naught of tone or cadence
That can work with such a spell
In the souls mysterious fountains.
Whence the tears Of rapture well,
AS that melody of nature.
That subdued, subduing strain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.

Encourage Savings Banks.

The MORNING NEWS has frequently said
that great want of the South was more
savings banks. If there were a savings
bank or branch of one, in every county
of this State and laboring people were con-
stantly urged by their employers to put
their net earnings in them, the wage-earners
would be much better off than they are and
farmers would not have TO pay 10 or II per
cent. interest on mortgages held by foreign
loan companies.
The Savings Bank Commissioners of Mas
sachusetts made statement a few days
ago which shows that there is deposited in
the savings institutions of that State $780,
94S, 624 OS. There are 344 $40 depositors
whose deposits do not amount to more than
$50 each, but their total deposits amount to
g., OF, AGO -. There are 81 ,0i2 depostors
who have in bank less than 800 each, but
they have total sum of Sc, 535, 393 0S. The
number who have on deposit more than
81 900 each is 10, 737, and their total saw
ings in the banks is Sl31, rs, 29S 70. The
savings of AS, 1916 women amount to $l46,-
402, 334 3D.
If the tolers in the South were urged to
practice economy and to put their surplus
earnings in savings banks, they would be
far more thrifty than they are; -bhey would
spend less for whisky and they would have
more home comforts. There are savings
banks in the South, of course, and they are
patronizad, but savings institutions are not
appreciated as they are in Massachusetts,.
Alter churches and schools, there is no insti-
tuition that does so much in making people
prosperous, comfortable and contented as
the savings bank

Mr.. Simon Stevens, writing i'll the New
York Tribune, says that the Democrats in
Congress, after the Presidential election of
1876, agreed in caucus that Justices Field
and Clifford were to represent them on the
Electoral Commission, and it was supposed
that Justices Strong and Miller would
represent the Republicans; that Justices
Davis and Bradley were to draw lots for the
fifth place, and it was arranged that Justice
Davis should draw the longest straw He
told his Republican friends in Washington
of the trap that was set for them, and
they had Justice Davis elected to the United
States Senate from Illinois, thus blocking
the reasonable scheme of the Democrats
to steal the Presidency" Mr. Stevens, in
his own estimation. is a very great man.
According to his account, he caused TO be

not elected President. He will be panied to

Feathers in Flat Cars. I,

/ heard good story the other day
pertaining to one of the best known
railroad men in the Northwest. 1t
seems when he first started out in the
business he was made station agent,
operator, etc., at a point few miles
distant from Cincinnati. He was
young. verdant and exceedingly fresh
for a youth of his immature years. 1t
was also the general opinion that his
knowledge of the science of railroad
ing was somewhat limited. So one
balmy spring afternoon it was doter-
mined to make the test. Accordingly
one Of the heaviest shippers of the town
walked into the Office and solemnly in
quired the tariff on loose feathers shipped
on flat cars. A careful perusal Of the
tariff sheets was made in vain; but be-
ing anxious to oblige the shipper he
promptly wired to the general freight
agent of the road asking the rate. And
1t was not until the emphatic, not to
say profane, answer of the general
freight agent was received that the
absurdity of the thing dawned upon his
mind. But it taught him lesson he
has never forgotten to this day. --Mits-
neapois Tribune.

No More Birds in Bonnets.


Ladies are no longer to wear birds
on their bonnets and hats. Thus it
has been dccreed Nv fashion. The
benevolent edict comes just in time to
save tho last remaining members Of
the race of humming birds and birds
of paradise. The great forests of India,
Brazil and the banks of the Mississippi
have been ransacked, and have yielded
up their treasures of winged jewels
to adorn the feminine hendgcar. Now
ut last there Is to be II truce to the mas
sacre, and the pretty denizcns of the
woods may sing and fly awhile in
peace. To estimate the extent of
slaughter perpetrated for the sake of
womankind's ndornment. we may take
the statement of London dealer, who
admits that last year he sold two mil
lion small birds of every possible kind
and color, from the soft gray of the
wood pigeon to the gem-like splcndor
of the tropical bird. Even the friendly
robin has been inundated TO adorn the
fashionable bonnet. London Queen
