A scientific fact OF great value, and
one which should bring comfort to le-
glons OF that large class of persons who
are weary OF the caprices OF an erratic
or tardy liver had proved that large
portions OF the liver can bo removed
without serious disturbance to the ami
nal functions of tho human body Tho
explanation of this curious fact seems
TO be that tho liver has wonderful
power OF reproduction. Poniick found
that, within a few days OF the removal
OF portions Of the liver. the work OF its
reproduction began, and that 1t pro-
ceeded with great rapidity to comple-
ton. In certain cases ho found that
within period of few weeks as much
has been reproduced as has been re-
moved, and this amounted occasionally
10 twice as much as had boon left be-

THE CoNoUERoR CONQUERED.

In Southern archipelagos he fought the bloody
cannibal
He'd skinned and tanned the crocodile, and
found him very tannable;
Not word of fear he d uttered, not word and
not syllable,
When he killed the Bengal tiger, and he found
him very kilable.
He claimed his strength was very great, for bears
and lions suitable;
He used to boot the grizzly hear, and found him
very bootable:
He claimed in killing monster snakes that he
was very capable,
No boa -constrictor could escape, for he was un.
escapable
In fighting hippopotami, he said he was invinci-
bic;
No iaguar could make him vince, because he
wasn't winceable;
He made the ramping elephant no longer recog-
nizable,
And pulyerized the roaring bull and found him
pulTerizable.
Just then his wife came in and said, sid think
il quite commendable
If you'd come and tend the baby: and you'll find
him very tendable."
The way she took him by the ear will make this
poem readable;
She pulled him out and lead him home, and
found him very leadable.

THEY WERE NOT CHURCH MEMBERS

SEATTLE, Dec. q, 1890.
To THE EDITOR: As a daily reader of your
most excellent paper. and from your kind dispo-
sition toward my church from its organization
up 10 the present, and from your impartial con-
duet toward the people whom / represent. do
not hesitate ia asking you 10 correct an impress
sion that has been set ahoat concerning the re-
ligious status OF the membership of my church
by an article in your paper of December n,
headed, "Coiored Society All Torn Up IL is
true. the A. NJ. T.. church is not mentioned in
the article, but il being the only eolored church
in Seattle the reflection of the article falls heay
lily upon us. The most favorably disposed per
son in Seattle toward my church would not
think much of us as a religious body, If the per
son referred TO in the article before MS was a
fair specimen of our membership. The fact is,
neither the woman. her husband nor her para.
mouE are members OF the \. NJ. T. church The
woman is said to be member of some Baptist
church. Feeling that you viii readily inform
the public that the woman is not a member of

being one Of thirteen at table, celebrated its
ninth anniversary ON Friday evening, December
49, with Is guests six times thirteenl, who, with
the thirteen members, were served at seven
tables, with thIrtreen seated at each. Their
wine List was made up of thirteen OF the most
unlueky OF California brands. In opening the
affair the President, Judge McAdans, declared
the death-list Of the club was proportionately
less thar that Of any other OF the many associa-
tions with which he IS connected The fact
that George Francis Train tthc immortal Psycho)
was one of the speakers, and held the fixed at
tention Of his audience while for thirteen times
thirteen minutes he dilated on his favorite and
only topic himself shows that the members OF
the club have great powers OF endurance.

HERE AND ELSEWHERE.

With the s'spell of weather" that set in
last Thursday-an occasional stiff breeze,
now and then intensified by heavy gust
OF wind--a moderate precipitation about
half the time, with the thermometer rang
ing from hfty-ive downward TO midway of
the forties, induced our people to mutfle
up in their overcoats and wraps, and try
TO think it was cold, and declare that
.winter had come at last"
About the same time, according to dis
patches, the states of the Atlantic sea-
board and Mississippi valley and of the
gulf, from Maine 10 Florida, and from
Minnesota to Texas, were mantled in snow
and swept by an arctic blast, while
throughout Europe the ice king was reg
nant, and men were exposed 10 the biting
blasts at their peril Judging by the re-
ports, Western Washington and the inn
mediately adjacent country was alone in
exemption from the actual rigors of the
season.
Here, thus far, there has not been an
inch of snow nor waters thickness of
ice. The rains have been moderate in
quantity and warm and soft as summer
showers. The grass and clover are green
and fresh as in the springtime. The
blooming of flowers in the open air and
the growth of vegetables in the kitchen
gardens has not been interrupted. And
this is the 2end OF December! These
simple facts will read like fiction in the
Eastern states. But there are people in
Seattle who actually believe that the wea-
Their of the past week has been cold. They
do not even dimly appreciate the blessings
by which they are surrounded. They de-
serve q taste Of Florida, Texas OF Cali
fornia weather.

petite of a phagocyte. The task to which
Lancaster and other microscopes have adj
dressed themselves is the education OF the
phagocytes to avoidance of these germs and
similar tempting delicacies, and to the
maintenance, in its fullest yigor, OF their
appetite for baciili.
All of this may sound very fantastic to
the average citizen. but these Nimrods OF

their microscopes, are making upon the

REMEDIAL REFrNEMENrs.

Investigation into the nature. character
and habits of the bacilli, and 10 discover
agents for their destruction, is leading to
remedial refinements and 10 theories that
bear much the appearance of fantasies. OF
this character are some of the recent state
ments of Professor Ray Lancaster, than
whom few contemporaries rank higher in
medical knowledge, physiology, and espe-
cially in microscopy.
And these are the theories lately pro-
pounded by Professor Lancaster: The
phagocyte is the hereditary enemy and fell
destroyer Of the bacillus. The future of
medical prevention--of cure by inocula-
ton, in other words-depends upon the
education of the phagocyte. Phagocyte is
another name for the white eorpuscle
whose presence is destructive of bacilli.
These latter are practically innumerable.
They are everywhere. and swarm in le-
gions wherever there is water. In cubic
inch of fairly pure drinking water there
are millions of them. They enter the HUI.
man system and swarm in all OF the mem.
brancs of the body. But the phagocvtes
keep watch 10 prevent their entering the
blood, and unless they get into the blood
they are comparatively harmless. If the
phagocytcs are blessed with good health
and their usual appetite bacillus is
doomed the moment he succeeds in enter
ing the blood, On the instant he is
bounced upon and dcvoured.
Sometimes, however, Us has been ascer-
