Remarknble surgery.

The science of surgery has made such
wonderful progress In modern times
that the moot intricate and delicate
operations are now undertaken and
carried to q successful issue. There are
now several well authenticated cases OF

to say, the removal Of diseased portions
of the lungs in cases of consumption.

1t is by no means uncertain, but, on
the contrary, well ascertained fact, that
upon the well being of mans stomach de-
pends that modicum of happiness which
is vouchsafed to him in this world. Dys-
pepsia, the foe of all others to the stom-
ach's tranquility, and most to be dreaded,
is complaint to the preliminary relief
and eventual cure of which Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is specially adapted. 1t
enables those who use it with reasona-
BILE degree of persistence to eat with
relish, because it imparts healthful ap-
petite; to digest with ease, because il
strengthens the stomach; and to assimi
late, thus beneftting health, promoting
flesh and sustaining the exercise of the
physical and mental faculties. 1t, more.
over, facilitates the secretion of healthy
bile, actuates without discomfort tht
habit of body and tends, when taker
upon retiring, to produce healthy slum-
ber. Malaria is conquered by it.

Lovers of the fragrant after dinner Mocha
were forced to put up with decoction Of
sweet potatoes that first had been cut into
minute bits and dried on a scaffold in the
sun as country housewives dry fruit, and
then roasted and ground in a worn out coffee
mill or brayed in mortar with pestle In
yet more northern attitudes parched rye
furnished even a poorer substitute for the
eastern berry, while coupled with the use of
this last makeshift was the vulgar supersti-
ton that it produced blindness.
The old women and Dr. Johnsons of the
Confederacy, who could not exist without
their fixed number of cups of tea day,
drowned their happy memories of hyson In a
solution of raspberry leaves, or the more
medicinal preparation of the root of the
sassafras bush. 1t was a grewsome time, and
there were those who survived bullet and
blade to surrender at last to indigestion and
acute dyspepsia
The number and character of Intoxicating
drinks were many and varied Corn and rye
whisky abounded, while in some latitudes
pine tags and even potato peelings went
into the impromptu still to come out pure
"mountain dew" No Internal revenue sys-
TEN aroused the ire of the untrammeled dis
tillers, and alcoholic liquors were cheaper in
proportion than most other commodities
| yet the amount of drunkenness was not what
might have been expected. A favorite small

The world does not know how much it is
indebted to its fat men. In office fat men
serve as ballast to the ship of state. They
are always conservative. They believe in
old ways They are cautious and averse to
trying dangerous experiments They win
not adopt anything that has not been tested
They never amuse themselves by scherning
They like to have things quiet and still
They are not likely to overdo anything, ex
cept eating and sleeping. They believe in
going to bed early, and in making up for it
BY getting up late. They are regular in their
habits. one of which is being ready when
there is a call for dinner. Trey are never in
a hurry They are not in favor of rushing
things through A man weighing but III
pounds will make more disturbance at any
sort of a meeting than ten men each weigh
ing $50.
Some people of observation and experience
do appreciate the value of fat man. A
hotel keeper will extend more cordial greet
ing to fat than to a very lean man, though
he knows that the former will eat twice as
much and will demand u room on the parlor
floor 1ailors never demand extra pay for
making suit of clothes for fat man, though
it calls for an extra amount of cloth and
much more labor and thread A thin man
gets into a street car that is tolerably vel
filed and is obliged to stand up the entire
distance he rides No one thinks to crowd
up little so as to allow him a seat Let g
fat man, whose seating capacity is twice a.
large, enter the car, however, and room tt
accommodate him is Immediately made
| This is as It should be. Fat men promote uh,
happiness of society, and their comfort shoult
be carefully studied by those who deriv,
benefit from them-Chicago Times

WHEN WALES WAS SPANKED.
Years Ago the Prince Was Publicly Pun
ished by His Mamma.

Years Ago the Prince Was Publicly Pun
ished by His Mamma.
Her majesty, accompanied by the prince
consort and the royal children, visited Scot
land for the first time, and tarried a long
time on her way at BalmoraL On the trip
the yacht, in which the party travelled by
water, called at Aberdeen, and, OF course,
the loyal inhabitants of that city turned out
in large numbers to do honor to their be
loved sovereign. A guard of honor, c, INSIST
ing of the merchants Of the place. was formed,
and, in all the glory of black broadcloth and
white kids, paraded on the edge of the dock
to which the vessel moored at just sufficient
distance to prevent people from stepping on
board Seats were erected on the bank, tier
above tier, like those of a circus, TO accommo-
da.e the thousands that assembled to gaze on
the spectacle of an anointed queen.
Her majesty good naturedly remained on
deck, to crafty as much as possible the
curiosity of the bonny Scots and promenaded
about in full view of the immense crowd.
The Prince of Wales, a child of about or q
years, was with her. Among other things
placed on the deck for the accommodation of
the queen was a costly and very splendid
sofa, ornamented with tassels, and the prince,
like other boys OF that age, being of a de-
! structive turn, began to pull at one in
| manner that threatened to detach it.
| His mother observed the act, and ordered
him to desist he did so, but as soon as
her back was turned seized the tassel again
to give another jerk. The queen appeared &c
have expected something of the kind, for she
was at that moment watching him from the
corner of her eye. In an instant she turned
and, seizing the luckless heir apparent Of
England 10y the ''scruff of the neck" elevated
one of her feet upon the sofa, hoisted tht
youngster over her knee, adjusted him in the
position mutually familiar to parents ant
children generally when such ceremonies arr
to be performed, and gave him sounc
spanking.
1t may be proper to mention, en- passant
for the Information of youths who sometime
find themselves similarly circumstanced, tina
the illustrious sufferer kicked and beloved
under the affective dispensation quite as Ius
tly as boys of lowlier birth are wont to do
The amazement with which the spectator
witnessed the example of royal domestic dis
cipline may be imagined but scarcely DE
scribed in fitting terms. A dead siienc
prevailed for a moment, but was suddenl,
broken by tremendous roar of laughter
which could not be suppressed by any though
of decorum, respect for the queen or sympa
thy for the victim of her displeasure Tn
explosion recalled the royal mother to
sense of her position, and, having turne
toward the crowd for a moment, her fac
suffused with crimson, she hastily descende
into the cabin and was seen no more by th
expectant populace.-Aberdeen Paper, 1874.
