THE HEART OF DU QUEsNE.-The
Gazette dc Lausanne announces that in
the church at Aubonne, the tomb
which, according to the Latin inscrip-
tiou on the memorial stone, contains
the heart of the famous French naval
commander Abraham du Quesne, was
formally opened in the presence of the
authorities, and a small silver box was
found in a cavity followed out of the
rock. The box was opened and found
to contain human heart encased in
lead. A record of the discovery was
drawn up by notary, and the box
was then replaced, pending its removal
to Dieppe, the municipality Of which
town has expressed desire to have
the relic, Du Quesne having been born
at the Norman seaport in 1910. The
commander, who died in i6SS, was the
hero of the defense of Bordeaux
against the English and Spaniards in
1850. He also won a brilliant victory
over the famous Dutch Admiral de
Ruyter, in 1876. Although known to
history as Admiral du Quesne, he nev-
er enjoyed the title officially, his pro-
fession of the Protestant faith having
prevented his attaining flag rank.

A Man of Nerve.

One of the most remarkable, and, at
the same time, successful surgica! oper-
ations in the medical annals of New
York, was performed on Sunday last by
DIR. John A. Wyeth. The patient was
e. H. Houghton. Mr.. Houghton is
more than sixty years old. The opera
ton was performed at DR.. Wyeth's pri-
vate sanitarium. Mr.. Houghton, al
though he had, it is said, not one chance
in a thousand for his life, is now on a
fair way to recovery. Mr.. Houghton,
about year ago, began to have trouble
with his throat. He could not swallow
and any attempt to get solid food into
his stomach through the natural chan
mel resulted in horrible cOnvulsions and
finally insensibility.
The sufferer bore his pain manfuliy.
DR.. Quinlan, his family physician, pro-
nounced the trouble cancer, and his pa
tient agreed with him, as that disease
is said to be hereditary in the the
Houghton family. The next move was
to have an operation performed. but no
surgeon was found bold enough to un-
dertake it. DR.. Wyeth when first ap-
pealed to refused absolutely to under
take it, as he said the case was hopeless,
and Mr.. Houghton would in all proba-
bility die under the operation. MIR.
Houghton, however, persisted, and Dr..
Wyeth finally consented to operate.
Then a new difficulty arose. Mr..
Houghton fatly refused to take
ether or any other an;e5thetic, in
sisting that if he was to die be wanted
to do so in full possession of all his
senses. The throat was cut open and
also the chest. The skin of the latter
was tapped back, and all of the deli
cate mechanism OF the throat exposed.
The cancer was then cut out and the
various throat organs scraped, cleaned
and readiusted. The patient bore the
operation with wonderful fortitude.
He never uttered as much as groan.
He is still weak from the effects of the
treatment, but is rapidly gaining in
strength.
DR.. Wyeth was one of the physicians
in attendance upon the late General U.
S. Grant, whose trouble was similar to
that of Mr.. Houghton. DR.. Wyeth
courteously but firmly declined to dis
cuss the details of the operation. He
finally said that Mr.. Houghton was a
patient of bis and under his care at
present, and that an operation on his
throat had been performed.
In referring to the subject of the fatal
throat trouble of Kaiser Fritz, of Ger
many, the doctor inadvertently re-
marked 81 think the doctors there
made a mistake. Just such an opera
ton as the one undergone by Mr..
Houghton should have been per-
formed. The trouble was similar. Mr..
Houghton is an old man. / cannot but
admire his splendid courage on this oc-
casion. IN. y. Herald.

WHY THE CHANGE. WAS MADE
There was general surprise expressed
Wednesday at the action of the Post
office Department in Washington in
changing the name of the Office at what
has heretofore been known as Apo
mattox Courthouse to Surrender, and
there was disposition to condemn the
change.
mattox gives an explanation of the de-
partment's action, and throws an en-
tirely new light on the subject. The
county courthouse has recently been
removed to Nebraska, and mail
addressed to Appomattox Courthouse
still goes to Appomattox. The name
of the latter was changed to "Surren-
der'' SO that the name of Nebraska
might be changed to Appomattox
Courthouse, and thus both preserve the
historic name and prevent confusion In
the mails.-Rich. Dispatch.

Natures Exercise.

Thrifty Dame Nature has after all allied
a usefulness to her very best forms of +x
ercise, and looks with something Of regret
upon the waste of force which is implied
in mere exercising for pleasure or develop
ment. Perhaps if she could assert her
view of the noblest and most remunera'ive
form of athletics she would put it ut saw
ing wood. The lad who takes his athleti
exercises every morning in saving wood
for his mother has Dame Natures kind
lest Endorsement. If he could only believe
that it was not work and would do 1t Us
cheerfully as he would take u run OF a
mile, he would find that it went quite rs
far toward strengthening his muscles and
making his body sturdy.
The regular chores about the house
which the mother can hardly find strength
to do, the lifting, the water carrying, the
sweeping, all these tend as fairly toward
q stronger body as the dumbbells and the
Indian clubs and the elastic pulleys The
good genius that makes certain forms of
athletics SO popular as play may we'll aim
at some early period to popularize and
render fashionable the homely hard work

Strewn upon the beach were the shat

Presently they paused, shuddered and
averted their faces.
At their feet lay the corpse of woman,
her golden hair all bedraggled with the
brine. her blue eyes staring to heaven.

They turned again.

A Mistaken Impression.

There exists among many persons be-
lief that snakes arc creatures of more or
less defective organization Deprived Of
legs and reduced to effect their movements
by sinuous windings of their elongated
body and tail, they have an appearance of
helplessness which may by itself excite
compassion Yet no mistake of the kind
could we'll be greater. The principles of
evolution suffice to make it evident that
the structure of serpents must be tolcrably
good, or else they could never have sur
vived natures many destructive agencies.
But, in fact, their structure is marvel OF
admirable contrivances and accurate adj
iustments, so that we must affirm them to
be as perfectly adapted to their require
ments and peculiar modes OF life as any
other animals. Review.
