Myths Concerning Amputati0n.

The Chinese. perhaps, show the great
est repugnancc to the surgical opera
tion of amputation OF all the civilized
races of man 1t IL . remarkable fact
however. that all savage and semi-bar-
baric races exhibit the same dislike to
having any member Of the body sew
cred. Many Of the Sea Island races
willingly die before they will uA-
dergO an operation which involves loss
of limb. 1t does not seem as il the
Chinese show their dislike for having
members trimmed on account Of fear or
pain, it being well-known that - re-
ligious fanatics they will undergo any
amount Of physical suffering; it only
seems to be . desire to keep the body
intact. II Chinaman does, as has been
known in rare cases, submit to the
operation, he win not be satisfied un.
less the limb be preserved and kept 20
that he can see it and have it buried
with him at death. Cases have been
known where amputated limbs have
been eaten by their owners.-St Louis

THE EVILS OF CREDIT.

The Svstem . Necessity Years Ago hat .
Danger at the Present Time.
1t would be utterly unfair and unjust
to suppose that the developments in
two cases of insolvency now engaging
the attention Of the courts in this city
represent the general or prevailing
state of commercial morals here or else
where. Within q few months, never
theless, there have been other revela-
tions Of gross dishonesty and out
rsgeOus plotting by business men 70 de-
fraud creditors, and such instances arc
becoming so frequent that the credit
giving section of the mercantile com.
munity would he clearly justified in es-
tablishing for its own protection much
more stringent system in lieu of the dis
pensation Of generous confidence which
SO often entails disastrous loss.
There is not much risk of error in
the guess that half of the credits now
given to retail dealers and others havo
no justifiable or substantial basis. In
the hot competition for trade risks little
without real assets or established char.
acter are permitted to become debtors,
and assisted to engage in business in
rivalry with safe and responsible trad.
ers. The whole community suffers from
this recklessness, for iS the inevitable
ultimate evening up Of profit and loss
the cash to balance is always extOrted
from the public. 1t may be true that
credit-givers are not always able to OBJ
tain trustworthy information concern
ing the character and responsibility Of
those who seek their favors; but ma
jority OF instances frauds are imposed
upon them by fellows having the pc.
culiarities Of the confidence operator, and
these are 50 manifest that failure to de.
tect them argues deplorable ignorance
Of human nature.
The credit system was doubles nec-
essary incident of business years ago.
when capital was scarce all over the
country and wholly insufficient for the
wants Of trade. There is no such scarcity
now, and large and small capitalists arc
constantly seeking without being able
to find safe and moderately remunera-
tive employment for their accumula-
tions and savings. II plausible. but
impecunious and irresponsible advent
urers. of the class whose failures bring
reproach upon the commercial commu-
nifty, could be banished from the lines
Of trade they infest their places might
b readily filled by men able to do bus
mess on their own capital. Jobbers,
wholesalers and manufacturers would
benefit themselves and all honest people
BY revising their methods and bringing
the trade Of the country reasonably near
the cash basis. The existing credit
system offers too much temptation ami
encouragement to dishoncsty.-Chicagu

carried pair Of saddle-bags on his arm.

moment he had left the store.
"'Where does he come from?' they
demanded, as soon IS they had learned
his name.
Then the store-keeper let out the
secret that he WAS Bob Clavin from
Black Gulch, where he and some chums
had struck rich nugget md, and were
becoming millionaires-
"sHe says the whole country around
there is filed with nuggets.' the store
keeper added incidentally.
IAN the merchandise in the store
was Immediately purchased to equip the

SEVEN DAYS ON FIRE.

How . Heroic Captain Saved fsis vesse
and Her Passengers.
Some weeks are longer than others
as every school-boy is only too wei
aware. How long, then. must have beer
the seven days which an English cap
tain and crew passed, few months ago
in burning steamship! The steamer
Hawkhurst sailed from London on thu
9th of March, bound for Rio Janeiro
When she was seventeen days out dense
| volumes of smoke began 10 issue from
the ventilat0rs in one of the holds.
The ventilators were atonce blocked
and holes were bored in the deck, into
which water and steam were poured.
But the fire WAS under great .headway
and all efforts to extinguish 1t proved
unavailing. Above it was An iron ''be.
| tween-deck," and above this were
slowed seven hundred barrels Of oil,
tow. tallow and other highly-inhamma.
bic materials.
For four days. the captain says, the
decks were red-hot. His first thought
was to put back to the island of st. Vim.
cent-about five hundred miles distant
but strong head-wind made such q
course imprudent He knew, besides,
that he should find no facilities there
for putting out the fire.
He determined. accordingly, to steam
on to Rio. distance of twenty-three
hundred miles. lie might have put in
at Pernambuco on the way, but he was
resolved. il possible, to save the ship
and the cargo. At Pernambuco he would
have had to fill the hold with water, to
accomplish which it would have been
necessary to run the ship aground, at the
risk Of total loss.
At the end Of the third day the star
board bunkers took fire, but the crew
put the flames out in twenty -four hours.
On the day following the port bunkers
began to burn, and this fire it was found
impossible to extinguish till after the
ship arrived in port For seven days
the burning steamer sailed on. Then
she steamed into the harbor Of Rio,
where the authorities Immediately set
their fire brigade at work, and in two
days the fire was subdued.
In recognition of the captains heroic
conduct the Emperor, Dom Pedro H..
conferred upon him medal, accompany
ingnthe gift by the following letter:
