chinese Fortitude In Surgery.

In The China Medical Missionary Jour
nal, published in Shanghai, DR.. j. G.
Thompson has very interesting article on
surgery in China. Referring to the great
fortitude of the Chinese under surgical
operations, DR.. Thompson says that it is
frequently put to sAe test in circumstances
where surgeons in isolated situations are
compelled to undertake operations unaided
or where otherwise the employment of
chloroform is communicated and in the
minor operations of surgery.
When so tested, the Chinese will endure
without f1inching degree of pain that to
the most highly developed nervous system
of the westerner would be well nigh i'm
possible. His experience also goes to con-
firm the general testimony regarding the
remarkable recuperative power of the Chi
nese after surgical injuries. The reasons
he suggests are the simpler feeding habits
of the Chinese and their equable mental
constitution.
With reference to the Chinese surgeons
who have already been trained by the med
ical missionaries, DIR. Thompson says his
observation of these men leads him to the
conviction that the Chinese are fitted to
take at least a respectable place as sur
geons, and that time is coming when
Chinese surgery will give favora BILE results.

John Gay.

Gays affectionate and amiable nature
made him general faverite, but there il
some truth in Johnson's remark that the
wits regarded him as a playfellow rather
than partner and treated him with more
fondness than respect If that were SO
he had no one but himself to blame. He
was hopelessly indolent and spent his life
waiting for aid from others, and, as Pope
put it in an Intentionally am bigueus line,
"dies unpensioned. with a hundred
friends"
In those days men of letters were fire.
quently rewarded by political posts, but it
is not clear what Gay would have consid-
cred adequate nor what duties he was fit
to discharge. Yet he was always complain
ing of the ingratitude Of the court: "It is
my hard fate. Unjust get nothing, write for
them or against themn' He was fond OF
fine clothes, and like several of his friends
he was great eater "The greatest proof
of Gays existence is 'Edi, ergo est, said
Congreve.
Owing to this self indulgence and to a
deep rooted objection to exercise, he was
very fat and was liable to frequent attacks
of fever and collie, accompanied by fits of
depression. Yet his temper was SO sweet
that his society was to the end sought by
great mobiles and ladies, who humored and
petted him, and by brilliant writer's like
Swift and Pope, who in other cases were
easily provoked to hostility. His very
timidity and guilelessness, his want of self
reliance and discretion, seem to have led
stronger men to love and protect him.

weh Doing Makes Merry.

Everywhere may women learn the lesson
that work well done and useful occupa-
tions not despised are peace giving, emo
bling and uplifting. We hear it witnessed
by the low humming of Mary in the laun-
dry as she sings to the measure of her
hands flying up and down the washboard
over which she bent before daylight this
morning, although she washboard is a
miles journey from the place where Mary
slept last night.
One knows instinctively that Mary's
washing will be well done, for never does
a grudging laundress sing over her work.
We see it in the springy step and bright
face with which the woman with some
thing to do passes the one of leisure out
for promenade for health or on her weary
round of selfish pleasure. Health even
chooses its favorites in the world of work,
and no time to think of pains or aches is
often worth whole medical fraternity for
driving away nervous twinges and imagi'
Iary ills.-Buffalo News.

The Bath Iron Works.

To the Editor of the Press.
when the fool has made up his mind
to buy, the market has gone"
That's Spanish proverb. Now su bsti-
tute Portland" for "fool" and bath
Iron Works" for market, and it is trans
formed into Yankee wall.
1t would be, indeed, pity for the Iron
Works to desert Bath. but that is fore
gone conclusion. It's said to be sure
thing, and the vital question is, are we
going to let it fly exactly over our heads
flying low too-and light in Connecti-
cut? The president of the company tells
the Evening EXPRESS" "We should like
very much indeed to locate in Portland,
it would be preferable to going further
South"
The fellow who wouldn't pop the
question, and pop it for keeps too, on
that hint, wouldn't deserve to get
wife; and if Portland doesn't get up and
shake herself, and reach out for that
Iron Works Plant, she deserves the name
that some hungrier cities are giving
her.
Can we afford to run any risks of that
great business enterprise going elsewhere?
If we say so, and say SO with our hands
in our pockets, we can get 1T.
Getting it means much business added
to our city. Getting it means more
gravy on our fish, more fish for our
gravy. 1t means adding another strong
pair of horses to help pull our load.
Getting it means getting other manu-
featuring plants, for there is nothing SO
gregarious as capital. Manufacturers
huddle together, each mandatory is a
strong loadstone to draw others.
Will our city government learn lesson
from the Bath city government and
move in this matter quick?
Will our Board of Trade catch hold OF
this in practical way, not too much
talkee, talkee?
1 have no doubt that money enough
could be raised among our citizens.to in
duce the managers to settle the Iron
Works in Portland. Now / suggest that
"a committee be selected from our
citizens, and sent to Bath AT ONCE, to
interview Gen. Hyde. and see what the
company wants or what would be re-
quired to induce the company to locate
here.

Mr. March was never agent for the Maine
Bible Society, and he never informed his
boarding mistress that he might never
return. He did mention his board bill,
and has left all his effects in his room
and expects to return in due time, when
doubtless he will prove the assertions
made to be false. The affair did cause a
sensation here, but not of the kind the
Globe reporter imagined. Mr.. March
has many friends around here, and they
prefer to consider him the gentleman he
has been until he proves himself other
