him get well. To American surgeons
belongs the credit of improving greatly
the treatment of wounds in the stomach
and bowels.
Yet more magnificent field than all
Is gradually opening before our scientific
medical men. To illustrate: A patient
will be stricken with paralysis of an
arm or hand; he will. perhaps, have
commissions. The surgeon will examine
his case critically. He will presently de-
eide that the trouble is owing TO 4 tumor
or arrangement of given part OF the
brain. The patient is etherized. his
skull is trepanned and the brain found
to be diseased just where the man Of
science predicted.
Science has decided that particular
portions of the brain control particular
portions of the body. Exact knowledge
of this branch of physiology is in its in
fancy. For the next generation it viii
ba an absorbing and Wonderful study.
It is called localization of the functions
of the brain.
Our modern surgeons can successfully
remove goitres. A tumor has even been
removed from the spinal cords Only a
few of the triunIphs of modern surgery
are here named. Yet. wonderful rs they
seem. it tenlpers our self graduation to
reflect that century hence skillful sur
geons of that day will look back with
plying contempt upon the clumsy, ig-
norant operators of our time.

Cremation i'm France.

First law was passed permitting free
dom of burial. Then the municipal
council of Paris built crematory with
the city's money and presented it to the
city. The building is in Pere la Chaise,
the famous cemetery of Paris. 1t is q
handsome building, with well kept
grounds. 1t is not far from the tragic
spot where the French communists We're
stood up in a row and shot by order of
the French government of the time.
The first incineration in the crematory
took place in January, 1889. During
two months in the summer there were
thirty, which is a larger number than
like establishments in America can show.
But those who were incinerated at Paris
have been mostly cranks and philoso-
pliers. The first person of any distinc-
ton whose body was reduced to ashes
was member of the French assembly,
who died in August.

HOW FISHES CLIMB HILLS.
A Curious aud Interesting Story OF Some
of Their Habits.

A Curious aud Interesting Story OF sonae
of Their Habits.
In that fascinating book on natural
history, IA Frozen Dragon" is an ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomenon that trout
are often found in mountain streams,
far up toward their source, in deep pools
and eddics:
In one pool, out of which led a direct
fall of three feet. there were numbers
of the richly tinted little creatures, that
to have attained their position must
either have swum up the fall or gone
around by LAND. After catching num-
ber i,cgan to frighten the others to see
what they would do
Some dashed ut the little fall and dis
appeared, whiic others darted over and

found the sptrkled game, until finally
the passage became SO difficult that was
obliged to turn back. In the village /
chanced to mention the, subject to a
friend who.owned the mill on the same
stream, and he told me that the fishes
ascent was a puzzle to him, until one
day his boy called him out to the dam,
where the riddle was solved. The dam
was nearly four feet high, and to relieve
the stream several auger holes had been
bored in it, allowing small stream of
water to Jet forcibly out and to go splash
ing down into the clear pool below. AS
my friend approached the spot and look
ed through the bushes several large sized
trout were seen moving under the mimic
fall, evidently in gFea.. excitem menifyAd
darting into it as if enjoying the -,
and roar of the water.
Suddenly one of the fish made quick
rush that sent it up the falling stream,
SO that it almost gained the top; but by
an unlueky turn it was caught and
thrown back into the pool, where it dart
ed away, evidently much startled.
Soon another made the attempt, dart
ing at it like the first, and then rapidly
swimming up the fall, but only to meet
the fate of it's predecessor. This was
tried number of times, until finally a
trout larger than the others made dash,
mounted the stream, and entered the
round hole.
line ODS6FV0IS were d1ulOob ICduy W
clap their hands, but it was not success
full yet As the water stopped flowing
for q moment, they saw that, though the
athletic trout had surmounted the fall,
the hole was too small for it to pass
through, and there the poor fish was
lodged The lockers on hastened to re-
lieye it, and found that its side or pee
toral fms were caught in the wood, but,
bytpushing the fish ahead, which you
may be sure they did, they liberated it,
and it darted away into the upper pond.
Here, then, was the explanation. The
trout climbed the mountain by swim
ming up the falls, darting up the foam
ing masses, and adopting every expe-
dent to accomplish their journey. For
these fish deposit their eggs high up
stream, so that the young fry, when
Matched, may not be disturbed by preda-
tory fish and other foes living in the
lower waters.

A Bit of History.

E. G.. Ross, a modest printer in New
Mexico, has written a letter in The St
Louis Republic which recalls one of the
most stormy and critical periods in our
civil history-the time when Andrew
johnson, the only American president
ever impeached, was on trial before the
United States senate. There were seven
Republican senator's who voted against
the presidents conviction and thus saved
congress from what would have been
recognized afterwards as o lasting dis
grace. r
The vote on the impeachment was taken
twenty-one years ago last May. It was
known, beforehand that six Republican
senators would vote for acquittal. The
vote of the seventh one was in doubt.
After the ballot was taken the vote
stood: For conviction, 35; against, 10.
The count only fell short of the constitu-
tional two-thiyd majority required by
one vote. The seventh Republican was
Mr.. e. G. Ross, then senator from Kan
sas. He was recently governor of New
Mexico. What would have happened in
case Andrew johnson had been found
guilty is summed up by Ex-Governor
Ross in his modest letter:
NV great hope, for the past twenty years, has
been to live long enough TO my action indorssS
by the American people, and that hope seems
now likely to be realized. u Lave always felt a
very great pride L. .iat record, and wished to

was in q number of hard fought battles during
the war of the rebellion, and had many very per
ilous adventures, but never during that war did
face death more deliberately, conscious OF my
danger, than in the senate chamber when arose
in my seat to give my vote for the acquittal of
Andrew Johnson-and never was the democratic
republican form OF government during the entire
war in so great danger as on that day.
Very few people seemed to realize then, and o
great many fail to realize now, the dangers Of
that hour to our Institutions Of civil liberty The
conviction and disposition of the president on a
merely partisan accusation, as that was, would
have established a. most dangerous precedent
whereby the presidency would have been relegated
to second place; with the presidency would ult-
nately and by ineseapable sequence have gone the
supreme court and thus the essential condition OF
coordination inthe three departments of govern
nent would have been destroyed, and the legisla-
tive branch become the sole governing power
The logical end would have been anarchy

Triumphs of Modern surgery.

In the October Harper, DIR. w. w.
Keen narrates some of the achievements
of modern surgery that read like a story
of magic. AT the same time, it is sad
dening to recall that the most marvellous
progress has only been made within the
last fifteen years, since the close of our
civil war. If our. army surgeons had
known the modern operations, the life
would have been saved of many gal
liant fellow who went to join the army
of the invisible.
The remarkable progress OF recent
surgery dates from the liberal applica-
ton of antiseptics. An antiseptic is, in
brief, chemical preparation which
counteracts the tendency to putrefac-
ton. Earth, air and water are full Of
microbes, billions upon billions Of them.
Wherever there is scratch or abrasion
of the skin, these fasten like fiends upon
the unprotected flesh, and like fiends
destroy it. They cause inflammation,
suppuration, gangrene. Antiseptics de-
stroy the microbes. A modern surgeon
cleanses his instruments, his bandages,
his hands and nails, and the wound
itself, in antiseptics. before he under
takes an operation.
The difference between the new and
old processes is this: Under the old the
patient had surgical fever after serious
operation or amputation, and did not re-
cover under month, if he recovered at
all. By the new process the operation is
performed under ether, there is no ..sur-
gical fever" because the putrefaction
germ spores are excluded. and in from
five to ten days the patient is well Dr..
Keen says the world is indebted per-
haps to Sir Joseph Lister more than to
any other for improvements in the treat
ment of wounds. Since these improve
ments have been introduced the eper cent
OF deaths in amputations has been re-
duced from So to 5.
Reading carefully DR.. Keen's account,
it almost looks as though in time our
surgeons would be able to remove any
part of a mans body, perform an opera
ton on him and put the part back and
have him sound and well, better than
before, in a few days They can chisel
out piece of a human skull one or two
inches in diameter. remove tunor

A Five Gent "HeIIo.r

In 1884 the Society General of Tele-
phones as the French call their tele-
phone company, received charter from
the French government. One condition
OF the charter was that if at any time
the government itself should decide to
take possession of the telephone system
it could do SO by paying the company
proper value.
Now, though it is a republic, France is
paternal republic. This summer the
government decided that the telephone
business was too vast monopoly to be
in the hands of a private organization,
and notified the company that it must
give up possession. Two million dollars
were appropriated for the purchase. 1t
was as if President Harrison and his
minions should order the Western Union
Telegraph company to yacate all its Off
ces and hand over all its wires to the
United States. To say that the Society
General of Telephones was displeased
would be too mild 1t was furious It
declined to give an inventory of the
property and paid no attention to the
summons.
Then the government sent officials, ac-
companied by police, on q given day, to
all the telephone Offices in the country,
and quietly took possession of them. The
thing was done on a Sunday. A blood
less revolution was effected, and though
there were loud French sputtering and
wrath, only one arrest was made That
was the capture of o luckless artist who
was caught caricaturing a fat policeman
for funny pap.r.
The government immediately reduced
the price of an annual telephone sub
scription from 12J to S75, and the price
of short conversation over the wires in
Paris itself from 10 cents to cents.
And now the french hello girl must
firt under government surveillance.
That is how they do things in Europe. j
