A Strong Baby.

There is a physician in West Phila-

the world Its father will hold a cane

Chinese Indifference to Pain.

"a very curious thing about the Chin
ese is their Indifference to pain" said
DR.. E. z. Simmons, the veteran mis-
sionary of Canton, who was in the city
a few days ago, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat" I'VE do a great
deal of surgical work in the great city
hospital conducted by the united mis-
sions at Canton, and it was at first
supposed that there would be endless
trouble in persuading the natives to
take anaesthetics, but the doctors
found. to their surprise, that anaesthet-
les were rarely needed, and that their
patients endured the most serious
operations without f1inching the frac-
ton of an inch. The average China
man will assume the required position
and hold it like a, statue. When the
knife touches the flesh he begins
slight, monotonous moan and keeps 1t
I'D until the ordeal is over, but he gives
no other indication of pain. Whether
this is due to nerve bluntness or sto-
icism, or a combination of both, | have
never been able to determine, but the
fact remains that the Canton hospital
uses less chloroform or ether than any
other large institution of the kind on
earth.
