POINTS IN ANESTHESIA.

The medical profession in especial
will be interested in the statement late
! ly made by a prominent London chloro-
formist, namely: that the dangers TO
| both nearJ and respiration are occa-
stoned, reflexly, by the irritating action
of the chloroform on the teminations
of the trigeminus distributed to the
mucous membrane of the nose, and that
the same point applies to any other
aresthetic taken through the nose; and
the means of obviating this consists in
first anesthetizing such membrane OF
! the nose by using cocaine, which is an
antidote to chlorOfOrm. In fifty cases
in which cocaine was employed in this
manner the following conclusions were
arrived at: First, the commencement
of anesthesia is less disagreeable to the
patient, who never makes defensive
movements; second, oftentimes the ex-
element stage is wanting, and is al
ways slight, except in cases OF alcohol
les: third, during anesthesia the pa
tient rarely vomits, and if vomiting
does occur it is accompanied with
slight retching; fourth, upon awaken
ing, the patient experiences no dis
agreeable sensation, and is not troub, ed
by the after-smell of chloroform or
ether. The method Of preparing the
petient is to direct him to blow his
nose, in order thoroughly to clear the
mucous membrane; then, leaning for
ward or sitting, but never lying, to
snuff a centigramme Of a powder con-
sisting Of 10 per cent. OF cocaine hydro
chlorate and some inert substance.
Repeat in about three minutes, and
commence general anesthesia.

THE RUINED CITY OF COPAN.

In 1891 the Peabody museum, through
the efforts of Mr.. Charles B. BOwditch,
acquired the care of the antiquities OF
Honduras. The work of this and OF
subsequent expeditions has been rich
IN results. In the central part OF the
ruins of Copan are the great pyram1dal
foundations on which the temples
arose The principal ruins are grouped
about a main structure, a vast Irregular
pile rising from the plain in steps and
terraces, and terminating in huge ter
raced elevations, each topped by the
remnants OF a temple. The summit OF
the highest of these is about 100 feet
above the level Of the river, which laps
the foundations of the fallen structures.
Only the foundations and parts of the
lower walls Of the temples now remain
ir position, and these are marked with

WORKS AS A MAIL CARRIER.
Miss Emma Stoddard Of Canton, Mass
a. Government Employe.

Another young woman who is earn
ng livelihood by carrying mail for the
government is Miss Emma StOddard OF
Canton, Mass. She was recently awar-
ded the contract for carrying the United
States mails between Canton and Pom
kapoag till the year 1901. Early this
summer Miss Stoddard submitted the
lowest bid for the contract, underbid-
ding John Abbott, the veteran mail
carrier, who had done the work for
sixteen consecutive years. She was
awarded the contract and entered up
on her duties at once. She makes two
trips each way per day, covering a dis
lance of about eighteen miles. She says
she is well pleased with her work as
mail carrier, and considers the salary
attached fully adequate to the service
rendered.
Miss Stoddard was born in Canton
June "a, 1875. She is the daughter of
Elijah and Mary A. Stoddard, we'll
known and highly respected residents
OF Ponkapoag. Miss Stoddard's grand
mother on her mothers side is the ven
cradle Mrs. Mary G. Hunt, 80 years old.

A WISE FOOL.

The function of the kings fool was,
in mediaevtl times, very important,
and he who filled this post had great
most astute men was Triboulet, the
influence over the king. One OF the
favorite fool of Francis I.
The king, who was of a very gener-
GUS nature. had acceded to a request Oh
Charles ", the emperor of Germany,
that he might pass through France on
his way from Spain to the Netherlands.
Francis put aside all recollection OF
what he had suffered ait the emperor
hands when he was a captive in Spain,
and received him with great splendor.
This conduct gave rise to much COM
ment. and afforded Triboulet an oppOr-
tunity to give some sensible advice.
One morning Francis came in and
observed that Triboulet was scribbling
away very busily on bit OF paper.
"What are you doing? inquired His
Majesty.
81 am writing a name down on the
register of FOOLS" answered Trtboulet.
"What name?' asked the ki"g.
"That of the Emperor Charles, who
is committing the folly OF intrustlng
himself to you by passing through your
kingdom"
"But if let him pass safely?
@Then I shall substitute your name
for HIS was the retort.
Once a powerful nobleman who had
suffered from the gibes of the kings
fool threatened to have him fogged.
Tribou1et appealed to the king.
stHave no fear" said Francis. eff

she conceived the idea OF engaging in
business for herself, and being posses
sed of more than ordinary business
tact for one of her years and sex she
opened a lunchroom near the foot OF
Blue hill. Her winning manner and
the neatness of her little establishment
soon made the place extremely pop
ular among the bicycle riders and
pleasure seekers generally who ire
ouent the much-traveled thoroughfare
leading to the Blue hills.
Now that the days are growing shorter
one would naturally suppose that she
would feel a little tinaid about travel
ing over the dark country roads
which she lis obliged to clio every day
in carrying the evening mail, but,
being possessed of that plucky spirit
which characterizes the actions of our
New England girls, she makes her
evening "trip with the same fearless
ness that she does in making he'll
morning journey.
Judge Wellhouse is called the apple
king of the world. His orchards, IN
Kansas, says the Kansas City Times,
consist of 1,640 apple trees and are To-
Gated in the counties of LeavenWorth,
Miami and Usage. In thirteen years
he has picked over 100000 bushels OF
apples. and whenever he has LITTLE
money to spare he buys little more
land and sets out some more apple
trees. Growing apple trees is his pas
sion, just as gambling is the passion
of some men and raising fast horses
the passion of others York her

"A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.

A dictionary containing the definitions
OF 10000 Of the most useful and import
ant words in the English language is
published by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. While it contains
some advertising, it is a complete diction-
airy, concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common
words whose spelling or exact use occa-
sions at times a momentary difficulty,
even to well educated people. The main
aim has been to give as much useful in
formation as possible in limited space.
With this in view, where noun, adjective
and verb are all obviously connected in
meaning, usually one only has been in
serted. The volume will thus be found to
contain the meaning of very many more
words than it processes to explain.
To those who already have a diction-
airy, this book will commend itself be-
cause it is compact, light and convenient;
to those who have no dictionary what
ever, it will be invaluable. One may be
secured by writing to the above concern,
mentioning this paper, and enclosing
tWO-cent stamp.

Have you thought of engineering?
Thought of it in all it's branches;

all grossly oVercrowded. Everything

DON'T FRET.

There is very little trouble
That happens us today;
It is the sorrows Of tomorrow
That drive our joys away.
We sometimes sit and wonder,
And stew, and foam and fret
For fear something may happen
But it hasn't happened yet.
There was once a lonely woman
Who cried down by the sea:
What if my pretty children
All should persisted be-"
Now this particular woman,
Who thus did fret and fret,
Is still a maiden lady
And it hasn't happened yet.
