The school girl, says the Birming-
ham Age-Herald, in her essay solves
problems that puzzled Pluto and elu-
cidates the mysteries of life and death
that plunged in darkness Job and his
three comforters. Where Solomon
left off, exclaiming vanity of vanities,
all is vanity" the school girl takes up
the thread of wisdom and follows it to
the end. She gives better advice than
that found in Proverbs; she mounts
higher above the earth than Elijah in
his chariot of fire; she sees further
into heaven than St John in his vision
on the isle of Patmos TO her all
mysteries are revealed, all secrets dis
closed, all prophecies realized. She
is the pendulum that sweeps between
time and eternity. She possesses the
"open seasame" that discloses. hidden
wealth. She is the electric current
that encircles this world and the world
to come. Out of the mouths of mai
dens thou has ordained praise. A little
child shall lead them.

The HUMAN SPLEEN.


A Curious Bodily Organ That Is an Enig-
ma Even to Physicians.
The human spleen is physiological
mystery-one of the enigmas of the hui
man makeup. It is a spongy, pulpy or
gan, weighing about two pounds ON an
average, varying in shape in different in
dividuals, the color much resembling that
noted in the kidneys and liver. Two or
three hundred years ago the M. ID. IS were
almost unanimous in the opinion that it
secreted a "venom" and that the fire.
quent and persistent use of cathartics was
very necessary in order to eliminate the
"spleenic poisons" from the system.
Shakespeare and other writers Of the rath-
er indefinite period mentioned above fire.
quently allude to the "venom of the
Spleen" and one eminent fellow of the
Royal society advocated the curious idea
of removing the organ and extracting its
poisons in alcohol to be used in neutraliz-
ing the virus of blood poisoning.
Practically speaking the spleen is an
unknown organ even to the enlightened
physicians of today. One of them will tell
you that perhaps it has its uses that it
may serve the purpose of withdrawing
surplus blood from the circulation when
the heart is unduly or unnaturally excit-
ed, and that in all probability it acts as a
kind of safety valve to hold the action of
other organs in check, and then if you
press him still further he will tell you
providing be keeps his temper-that he
doesn't know anything about it'll That
has been my experience at least.
But 1 haven't told you anything yet
about the spleen in particular, and from
the admission already made as to the ''un-
knowableness" of the organ it is not at all
likely that this ''note" will prove store
house OF splenic information. One writer
on oddities in physiology believes its func-
tions to be the formation of red blood cor
puscles from white ones, but rs it is a
granular organ with no outlet for secretion
it is safe to say that it was not put in its
present position for the purpose mentioned.
l believe that the idea arose from the fact
that more red blood corpuscles are found
in the spleen than in the organs adjoin-
ing it.
Although the normal weight of the or
gan under discussion is two pounds, there
are cases on record of its being found in a
diseased condition, weighing upward of
90 pounds.
Removal of the spleen does not seem to
interfere with the general health and spir-
its, which seems 60 argue in favor of the
Idea of its being a "useless bodily organ"
Zacarelli was the first to make an opera
tiOn of the kind in 1859. ellison collected
statistics of Is removals, the patient fully
recovering in each instance.-St. Louis
