The government is rejoicing over the
sale of the Thousand islands, which, it
appears, are going off cheap for cash.
Over 300 have been sold for the paltry
sum of $40, 900, or, say, $l25 each. The
Ontario government was not given much
time to consider their purchase. The
Dominion government has had its own
way The ''nigger in this woodpile" is
yet to be discovered. just what motive
is behind the determination of the gov
eminent to sell the islands in spite Of
public opinion is not evident. Those
who remember all the Rykert and other
timber land deals, and who look back
over the ID years record of this most
corrupt government, will look for reve-
lations in connection with this matter
some day. -Montreal Witness.

snow Banners.

Ono of the most magnificent natural
phenomena Is q Californian snow-ban-
ner. When northern storm sweeps
over the California Alps, which run
from north to south, one can some
times see brilliant white cone-shaped
banner streaming before the wind from
each mountain-top. The banners are
often several miles long and are formed
Of the fine snow from mountain
crevices, loosened by the storm and
swept up over the north side Of the
mountain-top and blown toward the
south. When the sun Eliminates this
snow-dust, its brilliancy Is extraord-
mary. This phenomenon Is rare. It's
cause is to be sought in the peculiarly
regular formation of the mountain-top
and sides. These latter are slightly
curved on the northern side, probably
by ice action. This curvature whirls
the snHf up against the top Of the
mousSain, where it is shape5 in the pc
culiar manner by the action and force
of the wind,

CnIiom and Proctor.

There is brisk competition between
Senator Proctor OF Vermont and Senator
Cullom Of Illinois as to which of the two
looks the more like Lincoln. For years
the Illinois man has proudly claimed
the distinction of most resembling the
great martyred president of any one in
Washington, and there has been none to
dispute. But since Senator Proctor has
shaved off his flowing beard there are q
new set of Lincoln features in the SEN
ate chamber. The Vermont man is taller
and thinner than his Illinois rival, and
with his smooth face has very marked
Lincoln look, so much so that Cullom
is in danger of losing his laurels. A poll
of the senate may be necessary before
the question is solved. Washington

Peculiar VIII of q Pole.

A man named Zalesky, who died In
Poland in 1889, left peculiar will. The
envelope which contained the will said:
ITO be opened after my death" When
the envelope was torn off another one
was found underneath with the words:
''To be opened six weeks after the first
envelope has been opened" The next
envelope bore the inscription: "To be
opened in year" After waiting
year the envelope was opened and
found to contain still another, which
said: ITO be opened in two years"
And when the will was finally reached
1t was found that he had bequeathed
100, 900 roubles, or half his fortune, to
his relativeshaving the largest number
of children, while the other half was
to be invested for hundred years, at
the end of which time the principal
and interest were to be divided among
wives of Corean Diplomats.
Mrs. Ye, wife of the Corean charge
d'affaires at Washington, came to the
United States in company with the wife
of the Corean minister, PAX Yunk
Chang, and for some time the two
women were kept in seclusion. They
have emancipated themselves, how
ever, and now Mrs. Ye understands
and speaks the English language and
can play on the piano, run sewing
machine and do lots of things that
American women are taught to do in
childhood. Her husband has so far re-
Taxed from the customs of his country
that he is proud of his wffe's new ac-
complishments.

NERVE AND A SHARP KNIFE.
An Unprecedented and Exauisitely Delicate
Surgical Operation.

An Unprecedented and Exquisitely Delicate
Surgical Operation.
For the first time on record the sur
geon's sharp pointed knife has pene-
trated to the pancress and saved a man s
life The operation was recently per-
formed at the Hahnemann hospital.
Some great surgical work is performed
ut this hospital, but there is strict un.
derstanding that operations shall not be
reported to the lay world, and that the
name of the subject shall never be given
out. The subject this time was well
to do merchant who paid the surgeon a
very large sum for his marvellous skill.
There was a hard lump just below the
PATIENTS stomach. His stomach panied
him, and his digestion was not good.
The lump kept growing. His doctor
made a cut in the abdomen and saw
that the lump was beyond the reach of
ordinary surgery. The merchant would
probably die.
One Of the surgeons at the Hahne-
mann hospital said he would like to
make another slit in the abdomen, be-
ieving he might succeed in removing
the lump. If he did. it might kill the
merchant just the same, but if some
thing was not done he would die any
way.
So the merchant took the last chance.
A 6 inch slit was made, and the surgeon
deity ran his fingers down under the
stomach and found lump as large as
his fist attached to the pancreas. The
pancreas is about inches long, an inch
in thickness and inches broad. From
the fact that it digests all of the fats
taken into the system the pancreas is
highly important organ of a human be-
ing
When the cut arteries had been
,clamped and the physicians had sponged
away the blood and then realized the
enormous size of the object clinging to
the pancreas like a toadstool to log,
they thought the case was hopeless. But
the operating surgeon still kept up his
nerve. 1t is not the place of an operat-
ing surgeon to lose his nerve. As he
surveyed the situation he knew that if
he cut away even the slightest segment
of the pancreas the merchant was done
for. Only by the very incest calculation
could the right cuts be made. He
sponged off the blood and went to work
One and then another incision of the
blade, and the cyst, filled with its hor-
rible fetid matter, was removed, having
been Topped neatly off just where it was
Joined to the pancreas.
In few days the patient was on his
feet again and said he felt like a new
man. And now the physicians are won
dering how many men have died from
Jumps in their stomachs who might
have been saved and just how far the
surgeons knife may be effective again

American affairs The writer's conclu-
sion was that the Anglo Saxon and Ger
man races were losing their determin-
ing influence on the Unions affairs.
The influx of Catholic Irish and Ital-
ians as well as other Latin elements, he
thought, would at no very distant date
lead to the crisis-feared now by some
American politicians - in which the
Union would be divided into three re-
publics-one on the Pacific, another on
