I.OSt-A Finger Tip.

A peculiar case is reported in one
of the medical journals OF the union
of a severed finger tip thlrty.six hours
after theamputation. The story comes
from McCook, Nob. A bicycle rider
there. while applying lubricant to
the chain OF bis bicycle caught the in
dex finger of the right hand between
the chain and the rear sprocket. The
pressure Of the opposing surfaces com
plete]y severed the finger at the root
of the nail, cutting through the mid.
die of the last,phalanx.
The bicyclist went to a physician OF d
had the wound dressed. Inc tip OF
the finger was picked up by by
stander aud wac passed to several peo'
pic as curious ,nemento Of tho acct
dent. Eventually it reuched friend
of the physician who had dressed the
wound, aud he took it to the doctor
more as medical curiosity than any
thing else. The patient Was sent Tor,
and thlrty.six hours after the accident
the tip was joined to :be stump Of the
finger. Strange to soy, the union was
effected all right, and the finger is now
almost as good as it was before the
accident. New York Journal.

ClS,O00 Full Moons.

Many people suppose that moonlight
possesses great potency and has won
derful influence on or over animate
and inanimate things on our planet.
Such persons should remember that
moonlight is only reflected sunlight,
and that the quality and quantity Of
the light thus reflected is not what is
generally imagined. In fact, it is q
truth which has often been demon.
strated by the speculative astronomers
that it would take GlS,00 full moons
to afford an amount Of light equal to
that emitted by the sun; and further
more, there is only sky space for Is,
600 such discs.
1t has been noted that some heat
comes from moonlight. However, it
is in quantities so small that it cannot
be measured by ordinary instruments.
Flammarion says that the amount OF
heat emitted by full moon while at
the zenith cannot be one eighty. thou
sandth OF the amount that the san
supplies when standing on the meridian
on a favorable day in July. Such be-
ing the case it is really surprising
that intelligent people should consider
that the moon has such a wonderful
"inauence" over terrestrial affairs.

Dreadful,

I cut the following advertisement
from the columns of London daily
newspaper:
"Old Artificial Teeth Bought. -
Persons Wishing to receive full value
should apply to the Manufacturing
Dentists, Messrs. Browning, instead
of to wardrobe buyers. II forwarded
by post, value,per return.-Chief o.
flee, 1913 Oxford street Opposite
Berners street,, London. Est. 100
years."
Do you know what strikes me as to
the most terrible statement in this
advertisement? ''Est. 100 years. !"
To think that for one hundred years
q firm of dentists has been selling sec.
ondhand false teeth to confding
public, and that such an offense to de-.
cency is carried on by . firm bearing
the name of one OF England's greatest
''oets Critic.

Frozen Mutton.

The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is Of inferior price to that Of
New Zealand has three-fold cxplana-
ton. in tho first place, New Zealand
possesses to-day q mutton-producing
breed superior to that grown in the
Plate. In tho second, the New Zea-
lander feeds his stock during the win
ter time with extra forage, while in
the Argentine the sheep are allowed to
Craze upon the same bare pampa dur
ing the dead season. The result of
this is that the New Zealander pro-
luces m even, well.grown~ carcass,
while there is sent home from the Plate
ono upon which hasty covering Of
fat has been PIT during the spring
months of the year. The differ
euce between tho two carcasses
will readily be noted by anyone who
pays visit to the cattle market.
Thirdly, the freezer i'll New Zealand
freezes the mutton on account of the
breeder; and in the Argentine the
freezer buys from the breeder. The
disadvantage OF the latter system, go
long as the breeder has no knowledge
of the requirements II the market, is
apparent. The New Zealand breeder
selects his wethers with care, rejecting
any which will give IN inferior weight,
or which are insuficiently fattened for
the butcher. He RENTS them in small
lroves to the freezing establishments.
and takes every care that they shall
arrive in perfect order. The Argen-
tine breeder, on the other hand, makes
contract with the representative Of
the freezer to sell q given number !;
AID the latter binds himself to remove
them within q certain date. New York

Artistic S liver Certificates.

The new issue of United States sill
yer certificates, for one, two and five
dollars respectively, ranks, by virtue
Of beautiful design and effective en-
craving, a. tho most artistic paper
money ever put in circulation. We
90 not see on these bills the confusion
OF titles, portraits, vignettes and lathe
work scrolls and borders usually found
on bank notes, bat consistent deco
rative picture embodying thought
wrought out in unity of purpose, which
both plcases the eye and makes coun"
terfeiting more difficult. Thus utility
is served no less than art.
In other respects the certificates do
credit to the intelligence and Ameri'
can spirit of the officials who have
taken part in their preparation, For
instance, due honor has been done. for
the first time in this way, to American
invention and American literature, by
the excellent engraved portraits OF
Fulton and Morse which decorate the
back of the two dollar certificate, and
by the names OF great writer's and in
ventors which appear among those OF
warriors and statesmen on the face OF
the ones.
Thus sthe vital Importance of the
industrial AMI social sides Of the Ma.
TONS life are avowed on its currency
as never before; thus, at last, the
stamp on money signifies not Caesar
only, not authority and force only.
but the people themselves. 1t is we'll
that our!country hos led the world in
this matter, as is eviuced by the praise
with which the new certificates have
been greeted by the artists of:Europe.

sudden blindness at night, the result
OF that strange disease OF the eyes
prevalent in the tropics, and known to
the sailors as ''moonblink." One

When tho watch was changed at mid

fed to find himself blind. At first the
captain thought the man might be
shamming to avoid going on duty, but
an in Investigation was made, and
it was found that no could not

diagnosed as case of ''moon-

his men against running such risks.
