There are two jewellers in Chinatown,
but their establishments do not resemble
the ordinary places known as jewelry
shops. The Chinese jeweler is manu-
facturer as well as shopkeeper. dis
establishment is a tiny room up one or

in one place is divided by an openwork
iron partition, with an arch and coun-

stands at work He is an elderly China
man, wearing glasses, and he WORKS

same way. They are fine rings, made OF
"a carat gold. Almost nothing is kept
in stock There may chance to be few
rings and bracelets, which are taken
from small safe. Most OF the goods
are made TO order. When the manufac'
turer is asked the price of ring, ne

Surgery In the Middle Ages.

In the middle Of the twelfth century
priests were the only doctors. By an
edict of the council of Tours surgery
WAS separated from medicine and the
practice of the former forbidden to the
clergy The latter then employed their
BARRIERS to perform surgical operations
This arose from the fact of the monks
having their heads shaved frequently
and observing the dexterity acquired by
the BARRIERS in the use of edge tools.
The knights of the razor, from cupping
and bleeding, passed on to tooth draw
ing and finally to other operations re-
curing skill and dizziness, If not much
knowledge. They knew practically moth
ing of anatomy. 1t is said surgery was
denied to the clergy by canon OF the
church which forbade them to shec
blood. This was considered the dark age
of medicine, and somber indeed Il
must have been to the worthy citoyel
who, perhaps, placing himself in thu
hands of his barber for relief, might, a
the same time that he was getting ri
of a tumor, also part company with nj

The following ~ by
friend, is absolutely true, say ritter
in the London Sketch. A LACY 'ecently
touring in the highlands-for obvious
reasons / omit the lady's name and the
name Of the district-had the misfor-
tune, while riding alone through pic
turesque but scantily populated glen,
to meet with an accident, being thrown
from her machine, badly bruised and
shaken and more or less cut and scratch
a about the hands. Upon recovering
,er equanimity she made her way to the
earest habitation, which CHANGED to be
g rnanse, and asked to be allowed to
wash the mud off her hands and then
10 rest awhile The minister was ab-
sent, but his housekeeper received her
kindly, and, having attended to her
wants, offered and gave her a cup of tea.
Soon afterward the minister returned
and was, of course, duly informed or
the presence of the unexpected guest
| Thereupon his reverence entered the
| kitchen, where the lady was resting,
and, after surveying her critically with
| a suspicious eye for several moments,
he addressed her in the following friend
| " manner: "Ma'am," he said, I'm
sure don't know who you are, and
| don't know where you come from, and,
for anything know, you may carry Oh
some of my property, so l think the
sooner you leave my house the better. .
The poor lady, in dire distress, promptly
rose and complied with this inhospitabl'
request and was shortly afterward found
by pleasant woman sitting by TIT
roadside and in tears. This good Sa
marian quickly led the wanderer to tn
nearest inn, where dogcart was sool
procured, in which the unfortunate lad.
and her damaged bicycle were conveye'
| home.

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. M.
Topic, The Highway of Holiness.

SCRIPTURE READING.-Isa. XIV, $40.
The reigns of Uzziah and lothian
we're prosperous in material things, but
religious corruption was strong. The
reign of Ahaz brought disaster to the
armies of Israel and shame upon her re-
ligion. Idolatry of the worst type was
encouraged by the king, and the wor.
ship of Jehovah in the temple ceased.
Purity of morals and holiness of heart
were the things fartbest from the prac.
tees of the idolatry of those times. The
deepest depravity of heart, cruelty and
RIGHTEOUSNESS of conduct characterized
the worship
Isaiah, the prophet, whose name itself
signifed Saved by Jehovah, " faithfully
warned the people of the consequences
of their sinfulness and urged them to re-
pent and serve the true God. He clearly
sees in vision the time coming when the
house Of God shall be opened again, the
sacrifices resumed, priests and Levites
standing to their appointed services and
Gods people coming to the service of
Jehovah with gladness and bringing
multitudcs of sacrifices. Then the peo-
pie shall not find the path of righteous.
ness difficult and despised. 1t shall he a
royal highway protected with great care
and secure from dangers, so that one can
do right without persecution and dan
ger of death. Joyousnesa shall charac-
terize this time of turning from idols tc
the living God. The whole of the thirty.
fifth chapter is an outburst of glorious
anticipation of the good time coming.
This was literally fulfilled during the
lifetime of Isaiah. When the next king
Hezekiah, came to the throne, one of the
first acts of his reign was the opening o
the temple and the establishment O
Jehovah worship. The passover wa
kept as never before since the days o
David and Solomon. Throughout tn
whole land of Israel as well as Judal
the idol groves and affairs were destroy
ed and the people brought back to pur
worship and godly living.
A farreaching, prophetic meanln
also underles this whole section an
points to the gospel dispensation whe
the church of Jesus Christ shall be firm
ly established in righteousness and tru
holiness.
