Defining Appendicitis.

A teachers examination was held at
Seneca, Kan, at which one of the ques-
tions in physiology was as follows:
"What is appendicitis, and what are its
causes and cures?' Below are given a
few of the answers as reported in the
Seneca Tribune:
1T is disease of the appendix,
which is located somewhere between
the liver and the heart, the organ Of the
affections. -
classification of the marrow of the
longitudinal shaft bone.' -
Appendicitis is sunstroke or over,
heating, caused by great heat The
cure is to get the patient into cool
place, battle the face and hand with
water.''

by want of exercise, improper food.
clothing and ventilation.
Appendicitis is a condition caused
by food substances lodging and causing
a blockade in the digestive apparatus.
1t is cured by surgical operation, in
which the obstruction is cut away. A
theory is given that the appendix was
at one time tail on man and is not YET
evolved off. It is cut away by the sur.

Fascinating John Bright.

Sir Wemyss Reid gives some interest,"
ing "reminiscences Of John Bright in
Cassell's Magazine. The great Liberal
leader often sat in an old fashioned
armchair in the Reform club. He de-
lighted in talk and was fond of repeat
ing poetry. On one occasion he began
to talk to Sir Wemyss about his favorite
hymns, and as he warmed to his subject
he repeated some of them. It was
strange subject, perhaps, for a club
smoking room, but it was still stranger
to observe that as be spoke with that
wonderful voice Of his the other men in
the room first looked up and began to
listen, and then, as though drawn by
an irresistible spell, drew nearer to
him, until before long he had them all
sitting round him in a circle enjoying
that Emusic Of the human speech Of
which above all living men he was
master. John Bright reciting hymns in

THOUGHT SHE'D MAKE SURE.

Did Not Understand Theosophy and Sus-
-" pected They Were Muscles.
The girl who has recently become in
terested in theosophy was enjoying her
self immensely, endeavoring in the
most disinse1ested way, of course, to
convert chance acquaintance to her
new views, and the long and hard
sounding words rolled off her nimble
tongue in the manner peculiar to an en-
thusiastio student. ~-
"The luminiferous ether" she was
saying interestedly as the pale young
woman across the car closed the book
which she had been thoughtfully study
ing and fell to listening to the scraps
Of conversation which surrounded her,
lis really nothing more or less than a
big psychical mirror. Everything we
have ever done from the beginning of
the Manvantara, everything we shall
do until we once more reach the repose
Of the Devachanic plane, is reflected in
the Akasaic radiance, and'-
At this point the pale young woman
across the car leaned over and touched
the speakers arm.
"Pardon my interruption and the
seeming impertinence," she murmured
sweetly, as the impromptu lecturer,
brought to an unwilling stop in the full
tide of her eloquence, glared at her
wrathfully, "but would you mind say
ing those words you just used over
again?''
"What words?" inquired the theoso-
phist, slightly Modified by the implied
compliment to her superior knowledge
"Manvantara, do you mean, or was it
Devachan? Oh, I suppose you mean
Akasaic! Well, that's Hindu or East
Indian, or Brahmin word, I'm not quite
sure which, and it means-oh, light,
or radiance. or something like that any.
way. Are you interested in theosophy?"
she fastened to add, anxious to cover
her lack of definite knowledge as to the
meaning of the word under discussion,
"for if you are''-
'I'm not, thank you, interrupted the
thoughtful young woman more sweetly
and alphabetically, 'but I couldn t
help hearing those words, and they
made me anxious. I'm just beginning
to study anatomy, You know, and ]
thought you were talking about some
new muscles, and as I'm going to have
a private examination tomorrow

The Eve of q Child.

Who can explain or fathom the Won
drous instinct of the child? Lying in the
arms of it's nurse, in it's carriage or else
where, it's large, round, wondering eyes
roam over sea of faces till suddenly
it's features break into a sweet smile, a
baby laugh dances in it's eyes, perhaps
the tiny hands are extended, and the lit
tie body gives bound as though it
would throw itself through space. What
has happened? It has recognized a
friend, nothing more and no less. It
makes no mistake. Wiser, perchance,
in that moment of inexperienced
helplessness than it will be years
afterward, when the world and it's in
mates have been studied in the light
Of instruction and experience, it's love
offering is seldom if ever mistakenly
presented. By what power is this child
love directed? BY what subtle influence.

DOCTORS AND SUICIDE,

statistics Show a Peculiar Bond of Sym.
pathy Between the Two.
During the last three years, says The
Medical and Surgical Reporter of Phil
adelphia, nearly one-fiftieth Of all
deaths among physicians have been by
suicide. This is conservative estimate,
as many instances of death are attribut-
ed to accidental overdosing, as the tend
ency is always to hush up a suicide
whenever possible. But without includ-
ing such cases, the fact remains that
the medical profession is more prone to
suicide than any other. These statistics
may be explained by the development
of morbid fancies in the mind Of doc
tor on account of his constant associa-
tion with the sick and dying, or of an
actual Indifference to death, or because
he has the requisite knowledge of how
to die conveniently and painlessly.
Poisoning is favorite method, but
it does not appear from statistics that
the cyanides or morphine have the pref
erence which would exist if epicurean
philosophy were carried into the choice
OF drugs. At the same time, physicians
usually put their knowledge of drugs to
practical execution in selecting poi
son for suicide. But if the mere knowl-
edge of the painlessness of death by GER
tain means is not determining factor
in leading SO many physicians to sui
eide, probably the accessibility of poi
sons is.
Suicide is largely matter of insane
impulse, and such all impulse can often
be ascertained even in the case of those
who have long been Indifferent to life
and have contemplated suicide. If a
man must put on his hat and overcoat,
walk to drug store and tax his inge-
nuity for a lie with which to explain his
desire for poison, he may postpone the
fatal act from mere inertia, or he may
meet a friend or have his interest in life
aroused by one of a multitude of every
day occurrences or physical exercise may
bring him to his senses. If, as is the
case with almost every doctor, he has
simply to feel in his pocket or walk
across his office to get deadly poison,
the impulse may be carried into execu-
ton before anything can happen to sup
plant it in the brain.

THE CAR ROLLED ON.

And He Was Still Nickel Ahead of the
Woman In Black.
A red faced woman in black gown
and black bonnet came aboard Eu-
cid avenue car last Monday and seated
herself next to a young man whose face
was concealed behind Plain Dealer.
When the conductor came around,
she handed him ticket.
''Not good on this line, ma'am," he
said and handed it back.
The woman in black gave sniff.
''That's too bad," she said. IT
s'posed it was just as good on this line
as any other. The conductor told me it
was. And I'm sure haven't got any
more change. I'm goin out to my daugh-
ter's house. She's sent for me. She's
very sick and so anxious to see me. I
don't know what I'll do" And she
shifted again.
"Well," said the conductor coolly,
''I'm sorry, of course, but no pay no
ride" And he reached for the bell.
The woman in black looked at the
young man with the newspaper. He
met her gaze.
Madam" he said, "I'l buy your
ticket for Nickel
The woman hesitated, and the con-
ductor smiled and furtively winked at
fat man in the rear seat. The ex-
change was made, and the conductor
passed along.
II hoped" said the young man,
"that your unfortunate daughter was
better by this time.''
The woman in black darted venom
Gus look at him.
"Oh, yes," he said, "we have met
before, and you are still a nickel ahead
of me.'
| Then he went back to his Plain
Dealer, and the car rolled on.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

CAT. HORSES HARD TO GET.
The Demand Is Now So Small That the
Trade Neglects Them.

The Demand Is Now So Small That the
Trade Neglects Them.
One Of the most curious effects of the
general replacing of horses by eleotrici-
ty and cable traction for drawing street
cars is being experienced by one of the
extensive car lines in this city which
still uses horses. One would suppose
that, since the only lines in the whole
country which continue to use horses
now form but very small percentage
Of those which used them five years
ago, these lines would have much
wider range of choice and could get
horses Of grade superior to the gen.
eral run of those which used to be
offered to them. Remarkable as it may
seem, this is the exact opposite of the
truth.
The New York city line referred to
runs in direct competition with the
cable lines of the upper west side, and
its managers, who recently purchased
it, determined as soon as they came in
to possession to place upon it superior
lot of horses, and in this way improve
its running until mechanical propulsion
could be introduced. Orders were sent
out to buy the needed horses. Much to
the surprise Of the managers, it was
discovered that there were almost no
street Car horses Of any kind to be
bought.
The explanation of this situation lies
in the fact that since the demand for
street car horses almost ceased the trade
machinery by which they were gathered
has fallen into disuse. A few years ago
the street car horses were one of the
most important features of the horse
market. They we're animals of !; stand
ard grade and Of almost stable price,
and every part of the country contributed
it's quota. The street car horse had to
be big and able and sound of limb and
wind, but it might be Of any age. Few
lasted long enough in the service to
make the question of a few years more
or less of any consequence. The demand
was constant, and the price never varied
in New York more than from about
1925 to $3.50 each. Dealers could always
count upon getting this price and get
ting it promptly, and as consequence
every horse which would answer the
purpose was safe investment at lit
tie smaller price, and clean profit of
$40 horse was regarded as fair mar
gin in handling them.
Horses of all sorts, which lacked the
qualities of speed, beauty or youth, but
possessed the other requirements, were
quickly sorted ont from the markets Of
the whole country, and every big dealer
was always able to gather droves of car
horses as fast as the companies needed
them. The trolley has superseded the
Car horses, and car horses are no longer
quoted as staples in the market. The
companies which still use them are
obliged to go out and search the marts
and buy them one by one instead of
simply sending out an order for 100 or
900 or 500 and getting them as readily
as they would so many loads of hay or
grain. -New York Sun.

Greco Egyptian Painting.

The remarkable series of portraits
found in Egypt are described in The
Monthly illustrator and the methods Of
the old artists employed.
The methods of these ancient days
were totally different from those of the
present day and were evidently vastly
more durable. Panels Of wood were
used to paint on-sycamore and cypress
also panels of papier mache, and &C.
casionally they were formed by gluing
three thicknesses Of canvas together.
These panels were usually about IA
inches long by Z inches wide. The artist
used liquid wax instead Of oil to mix
the colors, which were made not from
vegetable, but from mineral substances
and were of marvellous brilliancy and
commemorative powdered lapis lazu-
Ii, green malachite, red oxide Of iron,
etc. The colors were laid on in patches,
somewhat after the fashion Of a mosaic,
and afterward blended with an instru-
ment called the cestrum, which appears
to have been lancet shaped spatula,
long handled, with at one end curved
point, at the other finely dentated
edge. With the toothed edge the wax
could be equalized and smoothed, while
the point was used for placing high
lights, marking lips, eyebrows, etc.
The final process, which gives the
name encaustic to this kind of painting,
was the burning in Of the colors. This
was done by the application of heated
surface to the panel, though George
Ebers believes that in Egypt the heat
Of the Gun was probably all that was
needed to complete the artists work.
