Discovery of Anasthesia.

The history of the discovery of anesthe-
sia in this country is tragic one OF the
three northern physicians who claimed the
chief merit, jackson died insane, Wells
committed suicide, and Morton died as the
result of a painful accident. AS to the re-
spective claims of these gentlemen, The
Record has in times past expressed it's
views. Southern physicians, however, have
always asserted prior claims for DR.. c. w.
Long, and lately DR.. Luther B. Grandy of
Atlanta has brought forward fresh docu-
mentary evidence in favor of this gentle
man.
There is little doubt, judging from the
facts furnished by DR.. Grandy, that DIR.
Long first used ether for allaying pain in
surgery. He did not have opportunity,
however, to test it fully or to carry out full
an9sthesia. Credit for this must be given
to his northern confreres. We are quite
sure, however, that DR.. Long deserves the
honor which the state of Georgia proposes
viz, that Of placing his statue in the cap
itol in Washington Medical Record.

An Inappropriate Light.

There have been some highly original
and picturesque remarks attributed to
Manager John Stetson of Boston, and the
latest quotation from the repertory of the
Hubs quaint amusement caterer comes
from John w. Mckinney, De Wolf Hop
per's manager. Some years ago Mr.. Stet-
son became imbued with desire to build
yacht and when desire imbues Mr.. Stet-
son 1t catches him all ways, and he thinks
of nothing else. One day Mr.. Mckinney
called upon Stetson to see about date for
Clara Morris, and he was just concluding
satisfactory arrangements when the theatre
electrician came in, hat in hand.
swell, what is itp snapped the manager
II wanted to see you about the lights on
the yacht, sir" was the reply.
"Oh, yes. Sit down." and for the minute
Mckinney and Clara Morris were dead to
the world so far as Mr.. Stetson was con-
cerned. what would you suggest in the
way of lights?" he asked of the man.
II believe you should have about 20 in
candescent lights in the cabin, a few aft,
and think it would be well to have 40

Early the next morning q funeral
procession traversed the village and bore
to the little church the remains Of the
unknown sailor found by the st. Lau-
rent. Behind the coffin walked the
sailors Of the st. Laurent, their master
at their head, and behind the men came
the wives or mothers of the sailors.
The religious ceremony was brief,
but respectfully followed, and the un-
known dead was conducted to the celn-
etery by the great family of sailors of
Treport, who honor themselves in thus
honoring the remains of others.

Fournier led his wife to a little knoll

IN THE EARLY DAYS.

The great first children journeyed through
The countries, lonely then.
With all their sheep and little ones,
Their cattle and their Inen.
And kept themselves IN tribes apart
For awe Of the great plains.
And learned the length OF days and nights
or summers and OF rains.
And saw no other men through all
The blue horizons wide.
Save their own kind. who came TO birth
And marched and sang and died.
And left the mark Of well pitch'd tents,
OF footprints In the dew,
And tracks Of beaten, billowed grass
Their fiocks had pAstured through.
And sometimes on a mountain top
They stood among their spears,
And gazed across an unknown SEA
Into the unknown years.
And sometimes DER a silent plain.
As endless as the sky,
A child from lands unknown would come
And mest them eye to eye.
And they would gaze and love and speak
And rest awhile, and then
Each 1ourneyed past with all his sheep,
His cattle and his men.

She accompanied him to the end of
the street and bade him farewell with
80 frank an eye that he asked himself
if it were possible that such woman
could lie.
He was about to go to the Harding
when one of the sailors saw him and
came after him. Compelled to return
to his vessel, he had time to reflect. A
sudden fit of rage. fight, would prove
nothing, and he would never know the
truth.
So he calmly watched the work of
reparation, which was coming on apace.
At 2 o'clock his wife brought him his
luncheon. At his son came to kiss
him goodby, and that evening he set
sail again, after having seen the Har-
ding leave Treport for England.
The following Saturday, after ter
rible tempest, the fishing fleet returned
to Treport. laden with fine catch of
fish. Master Fournier looked quickly
to see if the English three master were
at the quay, but she was not there.
Disembarking, he learned that the
Harding had gone down in sight of
Spithead, and that all on board had
been lost.
Harry Evans, then, was dead. His
wife alone knew the truth. He would
not dare to question her. He would
never know the truth-he would doubt
her always!
From that time every one in Treport
remarked that Master Fournier had
grown taciturn. They asked his wife
the reason, but she replied evasively
that she did not know.
His sailors found him rougher than
before and more avaricious. He often
returned to Treport on Sunday morn
ing and left again the same evening,
without nights rest.
One week he came back on Tuesday,
and the news spread that the st. Lau-
rent had brought back the corpse of
drowned man. According to the GUS
tom of that part of the coast, Master
Fournier had given orders to return to
port, losing his catch of fish, in order
to bury the dead.
Accompanied by two of his sailors,
he made his deposition before the COM
missioner, and the latter had him sign
the declaration that 1.-The body of a
drowned man had been recovered by the
st. Laurent at point Is miles SSW

Last year there were eighty-four "prizes for goodness" distributed by the French Academy. These prizes are usually given to women over fifty years of age in recogni- ton of heroism or sacrifice. Sometimes servants have supported former employers, who have met reverses. In other eases sons or daughters have taken care of young CT brothers and sisters; or children have sacrificed every desire to take care of infrm or insane parets; and sometimes lives have been devoted to paying the debts of fathers, hus- bands or brothers. Of these eighty four prizes seventy-two were given to women.

Near one of the cheap publishil g houses in New York City is ''liter ary shop" in which many of the cheap stories which flood the coun- try are made. In this building not only the printing and publishing are done, but there are also offices for the so-called authors. Many of these are occupied in condensing and remodeling stories which have already had large circulation, Most of the stories, however, are bought from the cheap publishing houses, and are absolutely the re- fuse of all the stories written in the country, rubbish that no well-known house would dare publish.
