Too Much Knife |

Inc use OF the surgeons knife Is be-
coming so general, resulting fatally
IN such large number of cases. as to
occasion general alarm. The press a..
most daily announces the death of some
unfortunate whose system could moi
Withstand the shock of an operation
and whose life was cruelty sacrificed ia
the keen blade of the surgeon.
OF course, in some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, However,
that the public is beginning to realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
ing TO the knife, and if such a state of
affairs continues, there will before long
be general uprising against such meas
ures 1t is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
Is discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know OF their error, and though a
precious life is given up, the public Is
assured that death would have resulted
IN spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiser7
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it Is undertaken. The disease q
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of a
terrible condition of the entire circula-
ton. To cut out this sore, therefore.
does not in any way effect the disease.
and it can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat Of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. SIS.
is the most powerful blood remedy made.
and 10 the only cure for cancer.

A Frightened Cadet.

Last winter, in a time of sudden
thaws and wide extremes of tempera-
ture the authorities at West Point
issued daily order defining the limits
on the river within which the cadets
were allowed to skate. So says the

to relate an adventure of a second-class
man, who found himself one afternoon
far outside the limits.
He first became aware of his trans
erosion when he saw an officer on
skates bearing down upon him. Anx-
ious to conceal his identity, and to save
himself punishment and dement's, he
turned and skated for the shore.

Straight up on the rocky shore dashed
the cadet, behind the little lighthouse
and ran up through the woods, with his
skates still on his feet. Breathless,
he reached cadet limits, and n quick
glance around told him that he had
eluded his pursuer.
Then he took off his skates and has
tened to the barracks, to be ready for
the roll-call that would most likely be
ordered for the purpose of detecting
the guilty skater. No such roll-call
was ordered, however. and at parade
that night an order was read extending
the skating limits, and during the even

cadets door to say:
You are a very good skater, Mr. A.

have told you that the limits were ex-
tended, and that you might skate even
farther than you did. But then, dare
say you found the exercise you had
quite sufficient"

How THE Bells" was written.

John Sartain, well known as the first
great American engraver, and, more
over, as a man of letters, the halloween
and managing editor, In the fortles, of
Sartain's Magazine, the friend of all
the great literary men of his time, still
lives quietly in Philadelphia. Mr. Sar-
tain was firm friend of Poe. In his
wild moods, frequently, it was Mr..
| Sartain only who could control the out
burst. Mr.. Sartain used to buy Poe's
hasty lines and thus furnish the poet
with dinner-sometimes sadly need
ed. 1t was in this way that he bought
THE Bells" One day Poe, very ragged,
rushed Into the office of the magazine,
with bit of verse that he wished to
sell. Out of compassion for his ap-
parent suffering, the editor bought the
poem. After the writer had rushed
out, he read 1t, without much admira-
ton; and filed It away. This is the
poem:
The bells, hear the bells,
The merry wedding bells,
The little silver bells,
How fairy-like monody there sweIs
From the silyer-tinkling cells OF the bells.
The bells, ali, the helsl
The heavy iron bells,
Hear the tolling of the bells;
Hear the knelis;
How horrible monody there floats
From their throats
From their deep-toned threats;
How / shudder at the notes
From the melancholy throats
OF the bells, of the bells.
Presently Poe. very wroth. asked
why the poem had not been published
Being informed, he wrote a second.
more elaborate version. and when that
too had been refused he wrote a third.
This was the form in which the poem
at last ppeared.-Boston Common.

CIGAR WRAPPERS FROM MEXICO
Their Use Not Yet Increased by the
Present Troubles in Cube.

|
Present Troubles in Cube.
| There is a growing idea among smok-
ers that, owing to the troubles in Cuba,
there will be scarcity of Cuban leaf
| tobacco, which will soon affect both the
| quality and quantity of domestic clear
| Havana cigars, and a rumor Is prevail
ent that already many of the so-called
clear Hayanas are covered with Next
can tobacco, and that 1t cannot be de-
tected by experts The best-informed
persons in the trade deny this rumor.
| and state that most of the large Ameri-
can firms have enough Cuban tobacco
to last them for year or more, and
I that there Is little or no tobacco in
Mexico suitable for the fastitdious
smoker. They say, also. that Mexican
tobacco is detected easily at sight, and
while it may be possible in future years
to produce tobacco for wrappers which
will compete with the Cuban article, 1t
will be a long time coming, as UP to
date no effort has been made by the
Mexican growers to cater to this mar
ket. The Mexican leaf Is thicker and
duller In appearance, without the rich
gloss of the Cuban variety SO attrac-
tive to American smokers. What is
still more to the point, 1t rapidly de-
teriorates in appearance after being
worked up into cigars. Still another
reason is that all the available Mexi-
can wrappers worth anything are
called for by the Mexican trade, one
firm Of which is said to be under con-
tract with Englishmen for 100000
cigars every two weeks.
The government statistics also give
an important hint in this matter The
total export of filler tobacco from
Mexico for 1893 was only 4S,45 pounds.
of value of $11,456; in 1894. $3.50
pounds, valued at S1S,507, while the
total amount of wrapper tobacco for
1895 was but thirteen pounds. valued
at 81. This country imported from
Cuba In 1893 81 ,694,S sol pounds. valued
at $S,940,05S; in 1894, some I4,57S. 600
pounds, valued at $5,S3S, 964, and in
1895 some 20,147, 000 pounds, valued at
81, 233, 474. The total amount of i'm
ported wrapper tobacco from Cuba
paying duty into the United States
treasury during 1905 was %. 100
pounds, valued at S3S.320. These are
the facts In the matter and as soon ms
Mexican tobacco begins to come In for
use on domestic-made clear Havana
cigars its arrival will be shown in the
weekly tables of imports published in
trade and shipping organs What Ia
very likely is that the consumer of Hav.
ana cigars will soon have to face n
darker tobacco on his cigars than he
has been wishing for lately.-New York
