Primitive Surgery.

1t is difficult at this day to realize the
horrors of a surgical operation before
the discovery of an9sthesia. The sur
geon's knife was necessarily pitiless,
and the victim could only writhe and
scream under the torture The horror of
an operation, even to a hero, may be
better understood by story Of Nelson,
included in a paper by DR.. John Ash
hurst ON Surgery Before the Days of
An9sthetics, published in the Phila-
delphia Record:
No Drawer or more gallant gentleman
ever lived than Admiral Viscount Mel
son, and after his right elbow had been
shattered by French bullet in the as
sault at Tenerife he manifested the ut
most courage, refusing to be taken to
the nearest ship lest the sight of his in
jury should alarm the wife Of a fellow
officer whose own fate was uncertain.
When his own ship was reached, he
climbed up its side without assistance,
saying:
Tell the surgeon to make haste and
get his instruments. know must lose
my right arm, so the sooner it is off the
better"
He underwent the amputation, :" so
says a private letter of one of his mid
shipmen, with the same firmness and
courage that have always marked his
character. "
And yet SO painfully was Nelson
affected by the GOODNESS Of the operators
knife that when next going into action
at the famous battle of the Nile he gave
standing orders to his surgeons that hot
water should always be kept in readi-
ness during an engagement, so that if
another operation should be required he
might at least have the poor comfort of
being cut with warm instruments.

FAITH IN HUMAN NATURE.
A New York Cafe That RepOses Implicit
Confidence In Its Customers.

New York Cafe That Reposes Implicit
Confidence In Its Customers.
1t is rather surprising to find right on
Park row a cafe that trusts its custom
ers perfectly. This place has probably
300 regular callers. 1t is open day and
night, and is run on a system Of i'm
plicit faith in the honesty Of man.
While not place strictly high class, it
offers what might be called a very
comfortable" meal, with trimmings
before or after. Altogether, it is simply
plain place for an everyday man, with
occasionally a little something extra
on the bill Of fare equaling anything in
the city
This, of course, can be said Of hun
dreds of similar places, but the system
of payment is something novel. The
proprietor, stout German, boasts no
cashier, as there is very little cash to
take in. On the cigar counter is day
book. The customer comes in, goes to
the ice chest in the corner if he wishes
and takes a quiet nip out Of a black
bottle Then he orders what he wants
on the bill of fare. 1t is served quickly
and neatly. He then counts up his own
Indebtedness and puts it opposite his
name i'll the book, including the nip, 3"
or cigar, if he prefers that. He then
walks serenely out, knowing no proprie-
tor is glaring at him and no cashier
yelling for,h to come back and make
the cash register good.
This sort Of childlike simplicity in
running a business in the very heart of
a city filled with bunkoers, green goods
men and gold bricks without number
is said to be winning venture Gus
toners invariably settle weekly, Friday
and Saturday being pay days, and the
proprietor says he has as yet to lose q
bill through deliberate fraud. A little
experience with a man like that is al
most enough to renew ones confidence
in human nature. New York Letter in
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Only one treasure to bring with you
Your heart. What matters the restP
Only one word to implore Of you
Word that isl Couldn't you guess2
Only one whisper-no mors-of you.
Say-shall that whisper be-''Yes?"
