Facts In Regard to Appendicitis.

The position is taken by DR.. Nc
Burney, in the London Medical News,
that there really is no medical cure
for appendicitis, even though some
cases recover without operation; he
considers, too, that, though appendi-
citis is surgical disease, yet opera
ton may not be necessary in every
case, the fact being that this ailment is
a stoppage of the drainage from the
appendix to the colon, and preliminary
treatment is often worse than useless.
Thus the opium treatment relieves
pain and discomfort, but entirely masks
the symptoms at most important
time, for it is in the first twenty-four
hours from the beginning of The at
tack that physicians can decide not
only as to the diagnosis, but as to the
result and course probably of the case.
Ii, for instance, there is no increase
IN urgency in five or six hours, the pa
tient is not in immediate danger il
Kept at perfect rest in bed; on the
other hand, if in twelve hours there is
still no increase in the severity of the
symptoms, the patient should begin to
improve. But, if the urgency of the
case has steadily increased in twelve
hours from the time when the diagno-
SIS was made, an operation will prob
ably be called for. After two attacks.
patient is sure to have a third, and
each attack renders operation more
difficult and dangerous all the advan-
tages lie with operation between the
attacks, and in an operation during
an acute attack the prognosis is worse.

THE WIND THAT SLOWS"

whichever way the wind doth blow,
Some heart Is glad to have 1t 30,
Then blow II east or blow Il west,
The wind that blows, that wind Is best
My little craft sails not alone;
A thousand fleets from every zono
Are out upon thousand seas,
And what for me were fayoring breeze
Might clash another with the shock
or doom, upon some hidden rock.
And so do not dare TO play
For winds TO wait me on my ways
But leave me to higher will
10 stay or speed me, trusting still
That all Ia we'll, and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail with me
Through storm aud calm. and will not fail
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me, every peril past,
Within His sheltering heaven at last.
Then, whatsoever wind doth blow,
My heart Is glad to have It so.
And blow II east or blow II west,
The wind that blows, that wind IL best.

InslsieI on Her RInhfa

The Duchess of Aosta, who is close
ly related to the King of Italy, is a
woman with a distinct mind OF her
own. When she first began to cycle
the king gave orders that she should
not be saluted by a sentry as she rode
by on her wheel. Obedient to the
royal command, the first sentry ig.
nored her presence, whereupon the
duchess quietly dismounted and boxed
the mans ears. Now, however, the
omnipotent cycle rules the court of
Italy, just as it does all the other
courts in the world, and the sentry
salutes the royal family as it goes
wheeling by.

Why should not staff of servants
be organized to do, at any rate, the
rougher part of the domestic service
in, say, fifty or hundred federal
households, just in the same way that
single staff could be organized TO
cook their meals? Why should / not
pay 80 much year, either to n bona
fide cooperative society, or to private
Spectator, to have my beds made, my
floors scrubbed, my knives and boots
cleaned, and other similar work per-
formed at stated hours every day and
every week. An agency organized to
to do this service would fill great
domestic want.

Cheap Electric LIGHT

In spite of the fact that Chicago is
generally associated with the idea of
municipal ownership in the considera.
tion OF all questions of public light.
ing, 1t is fact that the city depends
upon central station companies for
considerable current to operate street
lights, particularly in the southern
part OF the city. Two of the com.
panies, the Peoples Electric Light
and Power company and the HYDE
Park Electric Light and Power com
pany, have been engaged in a spirited
rate-cutting war for some time. and
wherever the lines of both companies
were to be found the people secured
their service at very small cost. The
city controller, becoming cognizapt Of
this fact, determined to secure some
advantage for the city, and he has
accordingly asked both companies 20
bid upon the city lighting for the
district which they occupy.-wes.srn

According 10 the Northwestern
Lumberman, one of the favorable
signs Of improved conditions in gen.
eral business is the new demand
which has arisen for railroad and car.
building material. Reports from the
yellow pine mills in the South, from
the Norway pine mills of Manistee
and other points in Michigan, from
the oak mills and markets of the lower
Mississippi valley, and from the fir
mills Of the Pacific northwest, are re-
plete with mention Of the large amount
of car stills, ear oak, track oak, and
lumber for car siding, roofing, deck
ing, etc, that are being ordered for
the railroad shops and car factories
oi the country. Now that this de-
mand has already swelled to good
proportions, and promises to enlarge
and continue for year or two, il is
evident that il will be contribution
TO the Roadway that the lumber bust.
ness has made within three months.

The news-gatherers who give us
frequent symposiums upon the we'll
worn theme, "Why people don't 60
TO church." might we'll afford to take
up the opposite inquiry. Why do
people 60 to church, II costs moth
ing to stay away from church, but it
costs upwards Of $40, 900, 900 a year
in the states to go to church, beside
about $40, 900, 900 a year collected in
the church to give away. And yet
there are upwards of 20, 900, 900 in the
churches at every principal service on
the Lords Day. The alienation of
'the masses" from the church has
been greatly exaggerated; and as long
as II is susceptible of proof that church
membership is on the increase it can
hardly be accepted that church attend.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Among the noteworthy announce
ments made at the recent medical con-
Rress at Moscow was that the lungs
had recently been operated on sue
cessfully.
Electricity is used to ignite the wick
of an oil lamp recently placed on the
market, the battery and push button
TO turn on the current being mounted
in the base Of the lamp.
Fountain brushes for painting are
made with a socket in place OF a
handle, and screw over the neck OF a
paint can, from which paint feeds
through an orifce to the bristles.
Scboolboys should beware of licking
pens or blots with their tongues.
According to Mr.. Marpmann of Leip-
sic there are microbes in ink, and it
may be dangerous to prick the skin
with pen.
The insect which is destroying cab
bage in Howard county, Maryland,
has been identified as the harlequin
cabbage bug. 1t came originally from
Central America and first appeared in
this country in Texas in 1866.
The lightning specialist connected
with the government weather bureau
maintains that rods are no protection.
and that most precautions taken by
people to keep out of the path Of a
possible electrical discharge are use
less.
A scientific expedition has gone from
Australia to the Ellice islands, 700
miles north of Fiji, to test Darwin's
theory that coral reefs are constructed
on gradually sinking islands. The
expedition will make deep borings
into the reefs.
Sir William Thompson calculates
that the number Of molecules in o
cubic inch Of any gas is 100, ,000,-
900, 900, 900, 900, 900, and in each of
these molecules there are several atoms
moving among themselves at the rate
of 20 miles minute.
There has recently been cast by the
Bethlehem Iron foundry nickel.steel
ingot weighing 900, 300 pounds, said
to be the largest ingot ever cast in
this country. 1t is 16 feet inches
long, "a inches in diameter, and from
it will be made a l6-inch gun for coast

To facilitate the transportation and
preservation of hay an apparatus has
been devised at Buenos Ayres for COM
pressing it to one-tenth its normal
bulk. In this form, as hay biscuits,
it can be preserved dry and sound for
an indefinite period, without losing its
flavor or value as food.
A citizen just returned from Paris
describes very ingenious device that
has been adopted there for use in cabs.
III is a register that indicates the exact
distance, automatically, the cab travels
on trip, and at the end displays the
amount of the legal fare for that dis
lance for the information of the pas
senger.

Port Blakely, Wash, is practically
owned by the sawmill company operat-
ing there and which is said to be the
largest in the world. The plant is
novel, in that electricity furnishes the
motive power in the sawmill, the
blacksmith's shop, planning and fin
ishing works, and a grist mill which
is run in connection with the plant
for the benefit of the residents of the
logging camps all about the country.

Trees and Men.

A single tree, according to a compu-
tation in knowledge, is able, through
its leaves, to purify the air from the
carbonic acid arising from the respira-
ton of considerable number of men.
perhaps a dozen or even score. The
volume of carbonic acid exhaled by a
human being in twenty-four hours is
put at about 100 gallons; but by
Boussingault's estimate, single
square yard OF leaf-surface, counting
both the upper and under sides of the
leaves, can, under favorable circum.
stances, decompose at least a gallon
of carbonic acid in day. One hum
dred square yards of leaf-surface then
would suffice to keep the air pure for
one man, but the leaves of tree of
moderate size present surface of
many hundred square yards.

Right Rev. George Herbert Kin.
solving, assistant Episcopal Bishop OF
Texas, is giant of six feet four
inches and walks along with an easy

rying along the street in n
strange city, wearing n big SLOUGH
hat, when newsboy, who had been
following him, with great curiosity,
at length called out: "Say, mister,

waited patiently, with her hands IN
his, her thoughts flew swiftly back
over their short acquaintance, aud
she began to realize how surel y this
plain, quiet man had taken Roland 8
place in her affections.
"How do you know she said,
obeying q sudden roguish impulse,
that shall not accept you out OF
spite?"
He smiled quietly,
"You are child, Stephie.-you do
not understand yourself. l know that
you love me-"
He said it simply. From another
man such statement would have been
intolerable, but he was so utterly free
from self-love that Stephie's momen-
tary vexation died out instantly, and
she said, softly:
Eyes, believe do"
His call upon her father that even
ing created good deal of surprise.
The weak little man was quite taken
aback, and Stephies stepmother ran
into the girls room after David had
gone and laughed meaningly.
"Well, you are pretty clever girl

Stephie, trying not to show her annoy

you know that that man who wants to
marry you is Charles d. Preston, the
great artist? / heard few days ago
that he was boarding at the lower vii
lage, but / hadn't the slightest idea
of this!'
Neither had Stephie.
Poor Stephiel She remembered
with sudden shame how condescend-
ingly she had talked to him of Rolands
talents. How she had thought of him,
even with her growing regard, as a
matter man, with not much
poetry or appreciation of the beauti.
full in his nature. And ho was a great
landscape painter whose name was in
everybody's mouth. And he asked
her-a poor, little, lonely girl to marry
him!
She pondered for n long while over
this, and when he came to see her on
the following day he found very
shame-faced little maiden.
They were married in the fall, and
Stephie went away from the old, toll
some life into a comfortable home Of
her own.
Roland Harvey degenerated into an
idle, seedy-looking fellow, his fancied
talents amounting to nothing at all.
He had Tilted Stephie for an heiress
who had been fascinated by his
grace and beauty, and after having
spent her money, they lived from
hand to mouth, until David Preston
got situation for him at cabinet
where he managed to earn o
fair salary.
As for Stephie she has found her
real hero. Saturday Night.
