The good naturcd man is a pub.

feel better for having met him.
When you meet him on the street
he halls You with jolly Hello
there! how arc they coming?" and
laughs Just like felt glad to be
alive. He never growls, seldom
kicks and only gets mad when he
has great provocation. He looks
everybody square in the face and it
is far better than a dose of tonic to
meet with and talk to him. 1t is
wonderful how many such men we
have here in Sinner. More than

There are some articles of do

AN ALUMINIUM SKULL.
How q San Francisco Surgeon Cured =
Bad Case of Epilepsy.

How q San Francisco Surgeon Cured 2
Bad Case OF Epilepsy.
Charles F. Sawyer, young man 81
years of age, is minus a piece of his
skull about three inches in diameter.
A thin plate of aluminium has taken
the place of that part of the skull
which is missing.
Seventeen years ago Sawyer, while
attending a dance in Chill, became
involved in an alteration with a ma
tive, and was struck on the head with
a wagon spoke. He was treated by a
as merely a slight concussion of the
brain, and in a day or two the patient
was discharged as cured. Ever since
that time at intervals Sawyer was
subject to epileptic fits, but physicians
who were consulted were unable to
discover the true cause of the trouble
until lately.
At the San Francisco city hospital
DIR. Mclean, learning Of the
blow the man received years ago,
made an incision of the scalp and
found an extensive fracture, which
had undoubtedly resulted when
Sawyer was hit on the head in Chilli
A small circular piece of bone half an
inch in diameter was taken out to re-
ieve the pressure on the brain, and
the patient put to bed to await de-
velopments. Soon after another fit oc-
CURED, and another piece of bone was
removed. The same result followed
the second operation, and then it was
determined to effect lasting remedy.
So Sawyer underwent still another
operation. and since then no evidence
of return of the affection has been
manifested.
Instead of placing silver or gold
plate over the cavity, DIR. Mclean con-
cluded that plate made of alu-
minum, because of it's extreme light
ness, would be best, and one as thin
as paper, and perhaps as light, was
used. There is no further weight on
the brain at that point, and since the
last operation Sawyer has been in al
most perfect health, and it is thought
by surgeons epilepsy will trouble hi M
no more.

.'You may talk as you will about
constant bravery In battles, " said an
old soldier TO q writer for the New
York Advertiser. s.but man cannot
tell what moment his courage may
forsake him He may enter 8 battle
with the greatest enthusiasm and
valor. but before much fighting has
taken place be running like the
worst coward. Courage is something
that cannot be counted upon. Il
will fail you sometimes when you
need Utmost witnessed an incident
during the war which well illustrated
this There was a captain leading
his company up a steep hill The
rebs were known to be coming up
the other side, aud it was an imporu-
ant matter to get to the top first
The captain was q brave fellow and
did all in his power to urge his men
forward, giving them encouraging
words. The position was a serious
one, the men not knowing what mo-
ment they would receive volley
nom the rebels from the top of the
hill They kept we'll together under
the encouragement of their gallant
captain, who, with sword in hand,
was leading them nobly on, AS they
came near the brow of the hill a
wavering could be seen in the ranks,
and the captain realizing that re-
treat would be disastrous, took
sterner methods. He cried out in a
loud voice: The first man that
turns his back I'll shoot down in his
tracks With this threat he was
enabled to reach the top of the hill,
where he found the rebels also just
arriving. Firing commenced, and
almost the first shot left it's trail in
the hair of the gallant commander,
parting it insthe middle. It did not
injure him in the least, but it killed
his valor. This brave fellow who
had led his company on that periIous
ascent suddenly became one of the
worst towards, threw down his
sword and ran TO the rear as fast as
his feet could carry him Just when
he needed his courage most he found
1t wanting. No one could say that
the man was anything but brave, for
his former war record and his con-
duct in subsequent battles demon
strated that he was a hero. But
anyone who had seen him running
to the rear that day would have put
him down for the Veriest coward

curiositles From ths French.

A novel which was recently crown.
ed by the French academy as pos
sessed of unusual merit contained q
sentence of which the following is q
translation: cit was midnight A
man who lay in ambush listened to
their conversation; but suddenly a
dense dark cloud passed in front of
the moon, and prevented him from
hearing more" Here is another
phrase, written in full earnest by a
master of French criticism: ut was
one of those duels in which one of
the blades literally buries itself in
the heart of the other" A criticism
in French journal upon dramatic
performance lately ended with these
words, which are worthy of Sir
Boyle Roche: s.Mme. Judic's talent
is like the froth on good champagne.
Beware of thrusting the scalpel into
it; for If you do. there will remain
naught but pinch of ashes at the
bottom of the alembtc." Another
French journal, in speaking of the
results of certain false reports, de-
clared: ''This is the handiwork of
