| upon to stand for the right and against
stle wrong at all times and in ali places
was never more imperative thar, at the

However we'll d person may be other
wise prepared for u position of trust. if
he is without moral integrity he can
not be depended upon to stand in the
testing time that must come to all. In
order that this demand be met there
must not only be education of the head
but of the heart. We must have the
highest type of manhood and wonla,,-
hood. This can only be secured tx
christian education and culture, aud IN
order to obtain these we must have
christian schools where our sons aua
daughters are taught the gems of love
and God as well Us the sciences. AS a
people we have come to feel this and
have done and are doing mitch, but
much more must be done to ti1orourl1ly
establish and sustain those schools al
ready planted, The demand is for
more liberal financial support and a
more general disposition and t,aternl;-

with a resourceful mind. The fact that
the aforesaid master, when not too busy
arranging investments for his surplus
cash, does little newspaper work, per-
haps accounts for the resourceful mind.
Late Friday forenoon this gentleman
opened the front door of his residence
prepared for his customary saunter to
the elevated station. A snowdrift from
two to three feet deep completely COW
cred his doorstep. His wife at his ell
bow suggested that he go down stairs
and get the snow shovel, but he treated
the suggestion as a playful jest.
After contemplating the snowbank
few seconds he whistled for his dog.
An animated bundle of hair came tum-
bling into the hallway. 'tOolah" spoke
the master, "do you want to go for a
WALK? With quick bark of delight
the little dog plunged out of the door
and rolled down the steps to the side
walk. Then, after a good deal of kick
ing and rolling about, the animal re-
gained his feet, and obeying his masters
call scrambled up the steps and back
into the house. Again he was sent out
and called back with the same snow
scattering result, and as he seemed to
enjoy it, the act was repeated for even
third time. Thus was an open path
down the steps made for the man with

Views on Anasthetics.

N. Y. COMMERCIAL AuVertlSer.1
DIR. Horatio Wood shows by charts
and the results of experiments that, con-
trary to the general belief, chloroform
kills by paralyzing the respiration as
well as the heart, and that ether kills by
paralyzing the heart before respiration
has ceased. He regards nitrous oxide as
the safest anasthetic-only one death
having occurred out of $4,000 admins
trations. Ether is probably safer than
chloroform in the ratio of one to three
or one to five, and the best method of
administering it is to use the inhaler
made of cloth stretched across the wire
frame which is surrounded by rubber or
leather.
Plenty of fresh air should be mixed
with the ether. Chloroform is probably
more fatal on account of its greater
specific gravity. 1t lies in the lungs and
mixes slowly with the air, completely
poisoning the nerve centers before oxy-
gen can gain admission to the blood. 1t
is less dangerous in hot climates, where
it is more readily volatilized. Ether is
more volatile and therefore less danger

Jimmy MccooI YVES Wanted.
TChIcaoo Herald


Gut IN preston, Ia, one Saturday
night there happened an amusing Incl
dent which railroad trainmen will ap-
preciate. Creston is a division point on
the Burlington road, and the town is
naturally the stopping place as well as
the home of great many railroad en-
ployes. On the evening mentioned
Donnelly and Girard were playing NAT
ural Gas" there. The house was crowd
ed, and among the gallery gods were
some 250 brakemen, switchmen and
yardmen, who had come directly from
their work, consequently they were
only dressed in their laboring garb, but
each man carried his lighted lantern.
About the middle of the performance,
when the railroad boys were enjoying
immensely the funny specialties Of the
two comedians, smut covered chap
rushed up to the door and inquired of
Manager Bert Riddle whether or not
Jimmy McCool was in the audience. "If
he is want to see him right away" he
added. Riddle replied that he did not
know Jimmy" by sight, but said that
as soon as the act was over he would go
out before the curtain and call for him.
This did not appear to satisfy the smut
covered party. He pushed by Riddle,
rushed up stairs, and called out in q
loud voice; "No. 7, eastbound, on time;
No. ., going west, one hour late; all
hands wanted in the yardsp At this
every man of the $50 left his seat, and,
with lighted lantern in hand, marched
out. The effect of such disturbance
upon the performance may be imagined,
1t simply broke the actors all up and
completely knocked them out
