1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

A New York surgeon, connected
with one a postgraduate medical
schools of that city, was one day on
the point of lancing felon for one OF
the students, young southern pbysi'
clan. The patient paled at sight of the
knife. "It won't hurt" observed the
the surgeon, with sympathetic smile.
81 sometimes think" he added, "that
it is well for surgeon to feel the point
of the knife at least once in his life.
~ saw my first hospital service in
this city with Doctor ST." he went on,
"and no better surgeon was then to be
found in America. He had large
dispensary clinic, and rarely a day
passed that one or more cases OF telon
did not appear.
"It won't hurt was always his
comforting assurance to the patient.
"The old doctor was very irritable
if a patient made any outcry or bother
over the lancing of felon. Put your
finger down there, indicating the edge
of the table, 'and keep still ! he com.
manded; and truth to tell, patients, as
a rule, made little fuss.
"Time passed on, and in the muta-
tions of life Doctor S. had felon on
his left forefnger, and it was bad one.
He poulticed it and fused with it for
about a week, and walked the floor
with pain at night. At last it became
unendurable, and he went to his assis-
tant surgeon and said, nervously.
"I say, doctor, will you take look
at my finger?'
"The assistant surgeon looked, and
remarked, gravely, That ought to
have been lanced BEFORE
'Possibly-but-' said Doctor S.
and then, with long breath, perhaps
you'd better lance it now
Certainly said the assistant sur
geon. Put your finger on the table
doctor S. complied, and with face
as white as paper, watched the knife.
BE GENTLE he cautioned; that's an
awful sore fngern
"Tt won't hurt remarked the as
sistant surgeon, and the sharp steel
descended.
"There was howl of agony from
Doctor S., and with his finger in his
other hand, he danced about the room
crying, 'Oh! oh ! oh !
"Why,' remarked the assistant sur
geon, Il have heard you tell patients
hundreds of times that it didn't hurt
to lance felon.'

HEART DISEASE.

1t is safe 10 say that a far greater
amount of misery is caused by sup.
posed heart trouble than by actual
disease of that organ. This is due in
the first place to the fact that supposed
heart troubles, functional troubles,
as they are called, are much more
numerous than the real, the organic
diseases and in the second place to
the fact that true heart disease shows
itself with comparative infrequency, by
symptoms which the patient himself
can discover, whereas the palpitations,
the humping in the chest, and the
sound of surging blood in the ears, or
the noise of the labored pumping, are
the common expressions of a nervous
or functional disturbance of the hearts
action.
The most common causes of false
heart disease are dyspepsia, nervous
prostration, and excessive smoking.
1t is often difficult to persuade the
supposed sufferer from heart disease
that the stomach is the offending or
gan. There may be no other dys-
peptic symptoms, and it seems ab-
surd to argue that one organ can be
diseased without any symptoms, while
another presents symptoms without
being diseased. Furthermore, some
people feel a little consolatory pride
in having heart affection, and do not
like their diagnosis to be brushed aside
and their trouble referred to the un-
romatic stomach.
Such an unbeliever should credit
his doctor with good intentions, at
least, and give his treatment a fair
trial, when be will probably find that
"his faith has made him WHOLE" and
his heart disease will disappear as his
digestion improves.
One fairly distinctive difference be-
tween functional and organic heart
disease is that the symptoms-the pal
pitation, the irregular pulse, and the
consciousness of the hearts action
are persistent in cases of organic dis
ease, but uncertain and of varying in
tensity in cases of functional difficulty.
A regularly irregular pulse, for ex-
ample, is more apt to belong to real
disease of the heart il; yet this is not
an infallible rule, for the cause OF
the functional disturhance-excessive
smoking, for instance-may be so con-
stantly active that the functional dis.
turbance is allowed no recess.
The anxiety aroused by the supposed
presence of heart disease and the con-
sequent foreboding of sudden death
have a very natural tendency also to
intensity and make permanent the
disquieting symptoms.
The safest and wisest course for one
who thinks be has heart disease is to
seek the opinion and abide by the ad-
wise of skillful physician. Self dag
nosis and consequent worry are worse
than useless.

TESTING HEZEKIAH.

It is to De hoped that the following
story, printed in Harper's Bazaar, is at
least exaggerated. 1t is funny, at all
events, and may be said 10 teach an
important lesson, although not the
unfeeling and selfish one which the
second character in the story drew
from it.
SQUIRE Leathers had son Hezekiah.
Also he had fine watermelon patch,
of which he was very proud but be
annually lost a good many melons
through the raids Of tramps and other
predatory persons. At last he became
angry, and declared that he would
protect his own interests. So he load
ed his shotgun pretty near 10 the muz-
zle with bird shot, and gave it TO
Hezekiah. and sent him out 10 stand
guard one night.
The boy made some objections to
going, and the squire thought he was
afraid. He rebuked him roundly, told
him he was unworthy to bear the
proud name of Leathers, and pushed
him out into the night. Then the
squire went grumbling to bed. In halt
an hour he got up, saying that he was
going out to test the boy.
"'Taint necessary TO make fool OF
yourself, JONAS" says his wife; 81
admit it."
"Admit he's coward ?" says the
squire. -.
"No; admit you're foolish" says bis
wife.
"Mebby am," says the squire; "but
that boys a coward. He takes after
your family. I'll show you he's afraid
to pull the trigger" and the squire
went out doors and into the melon
patch. ,
Hezekiah was in one corner behind
a burdock, waiting for game. The
strange figure attracted his attention
through the darkness, and he gave 1t
the left barrel.
The doubling parent jumped into
the air, howled murder, and ran TOR
the fence. Hezekiah's instructions
had been to make thorough work OF
it, so he let the prowling object nave
the other barrel.
This settled the squire, and he crawl
ed to the house and sent for the doctor,
listening meanwhile to remarks appro-
pirate to the occasion from his irate
wife.
The old man was always a little
lame after this, and it used TO be q
pathetic thing to hear him tell the
story of the occurrence, and at the end
shake his head as he observed:
II seen when it was too late that
what ought 10 "a done was to "a sent
the hired man out to test that boy.
Hezekiah was a true Leathers, after

SCORE AND TALLY.

To keep score and to keep tally are
common enough phrases; but few OF
the ardent boys and girls who keep
the score of an exciting game of base
ball, and afterwards compare score
cards TO see if the records tally, have
any idea where these two words were
derived.
Originally, they were exact syno'
nyms a score being to scar or notch
upon a tally.stick, while tally comes
direct from the French taller, to cut,
whittle or notch. The use of tally
sticks, one would think, must belong
either to remote antiquity or to regions
beyond civilization and its accompany
ing school arithmetics; yet such is by
no means the case. That it still sur
wives in rural France is attested by
Mr.. S. Barring Gould, who writes of
tallies in recent English magazine.
Sitting among a group of blue
bloused peasants before the fireplace
of a country inn, the landlady of which
also conducted the village bakery, he
noticed hanging from the mantle two
great bundles of sticks. Examining
them, he found that each rod was
about 1S inches in length, and was
split up more than three-quarters of
its length, the split portion being cover
ed with notches, while upon the han
die was inscribed a name. The mis-
tress of the inn observed him puzzling
over these mysterious objects, and
coming TO his side good naturely ex-
planned that they were tallies, and that
all the bakery accounts of the house
were kept in this manner.
"Every customer was provided with
hazel stick split through the greater
part of its length, and with his name
written on the handle. The split-of'
piece of wood was retained by the
customer the principal stick by the
baker. When the customer desired a
loaf or two, he came to the shop with
his stick, it was placed in connection
with the piece from which it had orr
ginally been taken and then with a
knife a notch was cut a. the point of
contact at one side, so as to mark both
pieces of wood. When one side had
been thus scored full, the score was
carried down the other junction. AS
soon as the account was paid, the tally
stick was thrust into the fire."
The visitor carried away the tally
stick as curiosity, but on showing it
at home was surprised to learn that
farmers wife in his own neighborhood
kept her account for butter and milk
on a notched stick. She did not, how
ever, employ the checking system of
the split-off' piece-a system which,
simple and old-fashioned as it is, rem
ders Justification on either side impos-
sible.
Records of elections were kept on
tally sticks until 1926, in the English
house of commons, and an overheated
stove in which useless and discarded
tallies were burned, in 1884, started
confagration which destroyed both
houses of parliament.
