Moral En.s,. Of Aa.s.rnss,s..

From Japan comes "A story that se.s

age. was attacked by disease which
was curable only by a severe surgical
operation which she professed herself
willing to undergo When the operation
was to take place the operators assist
ant prepared 20 administer chloroforni.
The old lady asked what was the use of
this medicine. and on learning that It's
function WAS only to deaden pain. she
resolutely refused to have anything To
do with il To evade pain WAS In her
estimation despicable and cowardly. un-
worthy of the old Japanese spirit which
enabled nIan Ia compose poem In the
agonies Of the happy dispatch She
would undergo the operation, but with
out chloroform So she lay down ON the
operating table and had four deep seated
absces~es removed and twenty stitches
put in. without making a movement or
uttering groan
When all WAS over. and the doctor
asked her II she had suffered much
pain, she opened her eyes and answered
quietly that the cutting OF live flesh was
never without suffering That was her
only comment on what she had under
gone. and she wished there and then TO
write letters to reassure her anxious
friends From the point of view of mar
row common sense. this old lady was
very foolish To in,Sst ON enduring pain
she could have avoided. but the idea ON
which hcr refusal To take the auass-
thetic was based--thai TO evade pain
that comes for good reason is cowardly

SEWER AND ROAD BOARDS.

It Will Cost Ss5, 500 to Raise the Walks
 Around the Green.
 The first business to come before the sewer board at last nights meeting was the hearing for sewer on West Grove street. All present, with the exception of Dr Henry Bronson, who represented about 300 feet, were in favor of the pro- posed improvement.
 Charles Miller was given permission to connect his residence on Hillside ave- nue with the First avenue sewer Henry w. French was given permission to build several cesspools in Taylor avenue.
 Complaint having been made of the condition of Ayers street it was voted to visit the locality. August 19 was named as the date for hearing upon the layout of Edwards and Seymour streets.
 The city engineer reported the cost of raising the walks on the green to be $5, 500. This includes the cost of raising the curb around the green and of laying new curb stones of granite.
 He also reported a layout of Sperry street. Both of these matters were re- ferred to the common council for their consideration.
 The city engineer was instructed to bring in an estimate of the expense for grading Draher avenue.
 After much discussion the street in- spector was instructed to confer with the city attorney, who would advise him what to do in the matter of the Burnham street crossing of the New England road.
 The contract for building a culvert in North Main street was awarded to Edward McManus for $1 ,971 60, he being the only bidder. The city clerk was in structed to make out a bill of $500 with which to purchase the right of way for the culvert going through the property of Samuel Murfeld.
 Commissioner Cross and Street h. spector Wright were appointed a com mittee to purchase a road roller not to exceed $4 800 in price.
 Petitions for sewers in Taylor avenue | and Wilson street were referred to the city engineer for an estimate of ex- pense. The engineer was also in- structed to bring in an estimate of ex pense for putting in a sewer in West | Grove street.
 Bids were opened for the construction | of a sewer in William street. Edward McManus was the only bidder and he | was awarded the contract. His bid was | $584.76.
 In the road board the first business to come up was the hearing for paving | Grand street from Bank street to South Main. Those in favor of it Were Max Steinmetz, John Moriarty, Marcus He'll mann and M. T. Lawlor. Those against it were Catherine and Florence Prichard and Edwin Atkins. The board voted to recommend to the common council that the street be paved
 A bill from Henry w. French, of $9O, for services as committee on sidewalks, was objected to by Commissioner Coughlan, who rightly held that MT French should receive no compensation for work said to have been done during the time he was acting as bad debt col lector. The republican members of the board, Messrs Goodwin and Stevens, voted to accept the bill.
