Surgical Progress Illustrated.

In one of the best known restaurants
in this city few weeks ago there were
seated at table, enjoying a hearty
lunch, a well known physician and a
well known lawyer. When the feast
was about ended the physician, rub
bling the region of his stomach covered
by the lower part of his vest, said: Il
am out of order down here. l believe
III go to DR.. - (naming a well
known young surgeon of this city, who
has reputation for skill and rapidity
in using the knife), and have my stom-
ach cut open to see what's the matter"
The lawyer was amazed, and unwil-
ling to take the doctor at his word,
asked him what he really meant.
"Why," said the doctor, 81 mean what
l say. The right way to treat the
stomach is by opening it and finding
out what's the matter. That's what
surgery is coming to. 1t will be the
regular practice in few years-in-
deed, it is frequently done now. They
used to think it was certain death to
expose the bowels, but they've got

in surgery; but know what the sur
geons are doing, and even now they

The Old Results of Taking Medicine NJ
the Wrong Time.

Although in perfect health. James
Mund, of a certain house-which it is
not necessary to mention-in Batter
sea, is always taking medicine, says
the London It'd Bits The 10th of last
month he brought home two small
bottles.
"What ails YOU now?" laughed his
wife, who had for years told him that
he needed no medicine, the doctor
agreeing with her.
That" he said, pointing to one bot
tie, ais appetite medicine" And she
knew that he ate more than any other
man in the neighborhood. That" he
said, pointing to the other bottle, is
sleep medicine"
And she knew he slept soundly from
bed time until she awoke in the morn
ing.
u hope you may soon recover" she
said.
Alright, having taken his medicine,
he went early to bed.
Now for good Sleep" said he.
About midnight he called to his
wife, who was fast asleep:
"Mary! Oh, Mary" ~
"W-what is it, dear!" said she.
I've made mistake" he groaned;
"the greatest mistake of my life. In
stead of the sleep medicine took the
appetite medicine, and l can't stand it.
I'm hungry as bear.
She did not scold as she cooked him
steak and made some coffee. In the
morning, after taking his medicine, he
sat down at the table to await break
fast.
IN eat you out of house and home
now, Mary" said he.
When breakfast was ready she
asked:
Tea or coffee, James,"
But lie did not answer. lie did not
look mp. lie was sound asleep. She
did not awaken him, perceiving that
this time he had taken the sleep med

A FEMALE IDEA OF ECONOMY.
How st. Louis Woman Thinks She
Saves Money on Beefsteak.

Some women have peculiar idea
of economy" said a well-known mer-
chant to a st. Louis Republic man. Il
live pretty far out in the west end,
where corner-grocery and butcher
shop provisions cost more than they
dc anywhere else on the present ex-
tent of discovered earth. We have
been paying 80 and IS cents each for
common, ordinarily good beefsteaks,
and everything else in proportion.
"The other day my wife had occa-
sion to visit friend in South St. Louis
and on her return to Broadway to
catch a north bound car she passed a
meat shop which attracted her atten-
ton by reason of its clean and whole
sale display of fresh meats. She en-
tered the place, selected large steak,
and bought it.
How much?' she asked the butcher,
reaching for her purse.

Proudly she walked out with her
two steaks, but she had only gone a
block-repeating to herself meanwhile,
never heard of such prices'-when it
dawned upon her that she ought to
take advantage of the opportunity and
lay in sort of winters supply. So
back she went to the butchers and
bought two more steaks.
We'll, thus far everything was
right, and for several days we fairly
reveled in cheap, delicious meat But
alas, her success turned her head.
That was month ago. And yester-
day she told me, with pride in her
voice, that she had been sending down
there every day since for one steak
one steak, mind you, for Is cents, with
90 cents car fare added.
Il dare not disturb her dream of
economy. 1t was too realistic and too
full of victorious pleasure for my ruth

complimenting her on the frugality of
her management-and paying out just
the same"
