entered tho hut and went up to the
cradle to gaze into the eyes of the babe.
From that time good health left it, and
a strange look came into its face and
the mother was troubled An old man
begging for food passed that way. When
he caught sight Of the child. he cried:

A Case Showing How 1t Can he Made to
supersede Ansosthetics.
A striking example of the efficacy of
hypnotism as an adjunct to surgical sci
ence was demonstrated within the past
few days at the Johns Hopkins hospital.
This case-a difficult one of long stand
ing and obscure symptoms-was that of
u young lady. into whose side an incision
was made and diseased kidney was
treated. The incision was then sewed
up, and she is now recovering, suffering
no pain or Inconvenience whatever.
This difficult and painful as we'll as
dangerous operation was done while the
patient was under hypnotic suggestion,
being hypnotized by one Of the med
ical staff. The patient was in the hyp-
MOTTO state for about half an hour. and
when seen at the hospital was delight
ed with the success of the experiment,
declaring she felt no pain or conscious
ness whatever when the operation was
in progress save that she had a confused
and not unpleasant impression that some
one stood by her side and was cutting
paper with pair Of scissors.
After consciousness had returned she
said she felt the natural pain consequent
to any surgical operation done while I'M

her case, was limited only to the time it
required for the operation. 1t is, how

COMPOSITION OF SEA WATER.
1t Holds All Soluble Substances Found on
the Earth.

1t Holds All Soluble Substances Found on
the Earth.
It Is stated by chemists that sea water
holds in solution every soluble sub
stance found on the earth. 1t is easy
to see why this should be so, and also
why common salt should form the most
considerable element. In the course of
countless ages, the rains falling on the
earth, dissolving and carrying down to
the sea whatever is soluble in water.
the mysterious chemistry of water, al :
ways at work, separating from each
other elements not soluble, in water
alone, have impregnated the ocean
water with scores of different sub
stances. The conspicuousness Of salt
is readily explained by it's abundance
in nature, being everywhere present,
and also by the fact that there are be-
meath the ocean bed, as on land, exten-
sive deposits of the substance, together
with salt springs, which add their por
tion to the amount brought down by
the rivers. Though seldom thought Of
in this way, thesaltness of the ocean is
a marvellous provision of nature for the
perpetuation of the human race on the
earth. No putrefaction can occur in sea
water, and were it not for this fact the
waters of the ocean would, in O few hun
dred years, become q solid mass of de-
caying animal and vegetable matter and
human life on the earth would be i'm
possible.-St. Louis Globs-Democrat.

Rapid Eating.

There is prevalent idea that slow
eating is favorable to digestion, but
this is often fallacious. The important
point is not that we eat slowly or eat
fast, but that when we do eat
we chew with energy. OF course,
where the haste is due to some
mental anxiety, this may injuriously
inhibit the secretions. Slow eating be-
gets habit of simply mumbling the
food withut really masticating it, while
the hurried eater is inclined to swallow
his food before proper mastication.
Hence hurried eating is bad, but rapid
mastication may be advantageous. 1t
concentrates our energies on the act
In question, and hence more thorough
ly accomplishes it. Moreover, ener-
getic chewing stimulates the secretion
of saliva in the most favorable manner.

A QUALITY MOST DESIRED.
Young Girls Should Cultivate High
Sense of Honor.

Young Girls Should Cultivate q High
Sense of Honor.
Among the qualities most to be de-
sired in young girls character is a
high sense Of honor. wish I could
impress on every reader the need of
being always above everything petty or
small, so that one would not for q single
moment ever be tempted to do mean
or underhand thing, to speak unkindly
of friend, or to repeat a conversation
which was confidential.
1t may happen to you, for instance, to
be visiting in the home of relative or
friend, where there may be a little fric-
ton at the table, or where some enXiety
arises about the course of a member of
the family. No matter what you see or
hear, in such circumstances you are
bound, if you are an honorable person,
to be silent about it, neither making
comments nor looking as if you could
tell something If you choose, nor in any
way alluding to what is unpleasant, at
any future time. A guest in a home
cannot be too careful to guard the good
name of those under Its roof, for it is an
honor to be guest, in the first place,
and honor is demanded in return.
Again, nice sense of honor in mat
ters connected with money is very i'm
portant. Polly is treasurer of society,
and has the care of the funds. She must
never for an instant, or in an emerg-
ency, lend funds to other people, or
borrow them for her own use. knew
girl-Polly was her name, by the way
who was induced, being treasurer of
a certain guild, to lend her brother, for
one day, the money she had in her care.
The brother was older than Polly, and a
very persuasive person. He said:
"Why should you hesitate? I'll bring
it back tonight, and 1t will oblige me
very much If I can take that $50 and pay
bill owe before noon to-day" Foolish
Polly permitted her scruples to be over
ruled. The money was not brought
hack, and but for her fathers kindness
in making it good she would have been
discharged as dishonest treasurer.
She told me long afterwards that the
lesson had been burned in on her mind
never to take liberties with money
which she held in trust.-Harper's

Gentlemen" said the barker on the
Midway at Coney island, in confden-

He was a short and wiry individual.

With that he paraded before the tent
on small platform fat female with
copper-colored skin, who appeared in a
pair of pink tights, transparent shawl
and veil of gorgeous tinsel.
After disclosing her personal charms
