Tho Human Liver.

Professor G. NJ. Ellinwood paid a
warm tribute to the Oliver" at Cooper
Medical Institute, at San Francisco,
says the Chronicle. In the opinion of
the professor, little was known by the
general public about this very neces-
sary part of the anatomy, the liver. The
normal human liver, which really is not
unlike that which accompanies bacon at
the breakfast table, usually weighs fifty
ounces, but by careful cultivation by
the habitual use of alcohol, it can be
grown to larger size and greater
weight. From the professors remarks
it was gathered that white livers are
only found in yellow-back literature
The liver is IL useful organ, and many
people would pine and die if they by
any means lost it If IL fistulous open
ing be made from the gall bladder, by
which the bile is diverted from its
course, and which it is lost to the in
testines, and escapes from the body,
serious results soon follow. Languor,
paleness, evacuation, ETC., are the con
sequence. If the bile accumulates and
wells up until it is reasorbed, depres-
sion, iaundice and death follow. The
liver is especially useful in the forma-
ton of glycOgen; from seven to seventeen
per cent. of vegetable starch may be
found in the healthy organ on invcsti-
cation. The glycogen is converted into
sugar and is circulated through the sys-
TEN, and forms the respiratory food of
the body. Sailors cast away on desert
islands, where nothing is to be found but
water and stern, rugged hills and pre-
cipitous shores, have no glycogen in their
systems. Red corpuscles are more nuser-
Gus in the blood flowing from the liver
than in any other part of the body. This
shows at q glance that the blood receives
fresh supply of corpuscles when pass
ing through the large red gland. The
liver is star actor in the economy of
life. Situated at the portals of circula-
tion, it has many opportunities to dis
guish itself. Were it not for the liver
much poison would be taken into the
system

Unclaimed Bank Deposits.

Concerning unclaimed bank deposits,
the Fortnightly Rerieao says: ga man
lodges money in bank, but no one
knows it but himself and the bank. He
can conceal it completely from the world,
and from his kindred, too, for there is
no limit to eccentricities; his kindred
may suspect it, but when he is dead
they have no means of finding out any
thing about it unless they happen to go
to the right bank to make their inquir-
les. Some of the English banks are over
two hundred years old and some eighty
or ninety of them date from the last
century. During this long period the
sums passing through their hands must
have been very large, and the length of
time during which they have been in
contact with the public must have given
occasion for numerous derelict deposits.
The longer they remained unclaimed the
remoter the chance that they would ever
be claimed, and the firmer the hold Of
the bank upon them. To avoid exag-
geration, let us suppose that, instead OF
three-fifths of this money being I'M
Gained. as the supreme court figures
might lead us to think, onefortleth of
it IS unclaimed, then we have the large
sum of S112, 500, 900; or, even if we say
an eightieth, one-half of this last, the
amount comes to the very respectable
figure of $50, $50, 0C0. As Las been said,
there are no statistics available directly
bearing on the matter; but, as II con-
ecture, we should say that the true
amount was certainly over 500, 600, 600,
and ranged from that to 5000, 600, 600.

Can a surgical operation be Lawful lily
performed upon a wife without the con-
sent of her husband? This novel ques-
ton has just been passed upon by the
Maryland Court of Appeals and decided
in the affirmative. A woman was suf-
fcring from what was supposed 30 be a
tumor An operation was decided upon
with the consent of her husband. The
thing proved to be a cancer, and the
surgeons proceeded to extirpate it with
the knife. Some months afterward the
patient died. The husband thereupou
sued the doctors for damages. He al
legged that he had not consented to an
operation in case of cancer, and
claimed that without such consent
the operation was without legal war
rant and hence the operators were
liable for damages. The court does moi
accept this view, but holds that only the
consent of the patient was necessary.
The consent of the wife, not that of the
husband, the court went on to say, was
necessary. The professional men whom
she had called in and consulted, being
possessed of skill and scientific knowl
edge, were the proper persons to deter.
mine what ought to be done. They
could not, of course, compel her to sub
nit to an operation, but if she voIunta-
rily submitted to rs performance, hel
consent will be presumed unless she was
the victim of false and fraudul ent mis-.
representation.

chord of nature which makes all mankind
akin. Its simple pathos and selEevident

The Word Vaudeville.

The word vaudeville is in this country
and in England twisted quite out of its
real significance, being commonly EN-.
ployed to designate the variety show OF
twenty years ago. In the original sense
of the word vaudeville was a sort OF
occasional epigram. Throughout the
seventeenth century it was a name given
to the personal and political ballads of
the period that We're salty and satlrlcal.
In time the name was transferred to
little plays all in song. In our own
century it came to have definite dra-
matte meaning. A vaudeville is now a
play in any number of acts, from one to
five, on any subject, but with this pecu-
liarity-that at intervals throughout the
piece songs are sung to well-known airs.
In it's simplest form the vaudeville is a
little one act play, the best points OF the
dialogue of which the author has pol
ished into epi9rams sung to the most
