The
Cruel Knife!

Il is absolutely useless to expect Q
surgical operation to cure cancer, OF
any other blood disease. The cruelty
of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re-
suit from it. The disease is in the
blood, and hence can not be cut out.

the sun is under a cloud. He is con-
fident that his invention will work "a
revolution as radical as that which fol-
lowed the invention of the steam en-

to find a way in which the heat and

rect source of all power, could be d.
rectly utilized in a practical way. II
was the dream of Herschel and of
Ericsson. Professor Langley of the
Institution has declared
that such an invention will, sooner or
later, become an absolute necessity.
Now Dr. Calver insists that his hello
meter has passed the experimental
stage and is ready for practical appli-
cation. The apparatus employed con-
sists of several large frames, in each of
which are set nearly a thousand small
mirrors The frames run on circular
tracks, so that they may follow the APP
parent revolution of the sun. Each of
the small mirrors is operated by an
gearing device, by means of
which they can be so turned that the
light reflected by all of them may be
in the same place. In this
way an intense heat is engendered,

periments to 10000 degrees Fahrenheit.

DUSK.

The frightened herds of clouds across
the sky
Trample the sunshine down, and
chase the day
Into the dusky forest lands of gray
And somber twilight. Far, and faint,
and high,
The wild goose trails his barrow, with
cry
Sad as the wall of some poor cast
away
Who sees vessel drifting far astray
OF his last hope, and lays him down
to die.
The children, riotous from school,
grow bold,
And quarrel with the wind whose
angry gust
Plucks off the summer hat and flaps
the fold
OF many a crimson cloak, and twirls
the dust
In spiral shapes grotesque, and dims
the gold
OF cleaning tresses with the blur OF
rust.

LIBRARY TELLS THE TALE.
Rogue Who Made Everyone Think He
Was Irreproachable.

The library of William Young of
Philadelphia, which was recently sold
at auction, was another illustration of
the fact that what a man knows about
his best friend is little after all.
To all appearances William Young
was respectable, mediocre man, who
logged along on a moderate income.
He was commonplace and middle class.
He lived in contentment with his wife
and children at Glenolden, where he
was respected.
He was one of the mainstays of the
church he attended He was so de-
vout that he was not content with go
ing to church twice Sunday, but went
Friday night as well. His private life
was above reproach.
His business, like himself, was COM
monplace and respectable. 1t was real
estate He was prosperous and re-
garded as a substantial business man.
He was trusted by shrewd men, who
believed implicitly in his honor.
His face and manner inspired conf
dence. He had a certain pleasing
frankness about him that attracted.
He never said or did anything un-
usual to the knowledge of his most in
innate friend. Even his name was
commonplace.
July William Young disappeared
as if the earth had opened and swal-
lowed him, instantly closing and OBJ
literating every trace. He left his
wife and children with SO.
When the affairs of William Young
were examined it was found that he
had appropriated other peoples money
to the amount of s51 900. and was a
forger as well as thief.
The friends who had visited his
home observed that he had a library
of about 300 volumes. When his es-
tate was sold it was discovered that he
had a library containing more than
1,200 volumes, which he had left con-
cealed in his attic.
His library showed the real William
Young, not the respectable, mediocre
William Young that the neighbors
saw in mis- pew each Sunday, but the
William Young whose thoughts and
tastes ran to vice and wild adventure.
He left orders for such books at the
book stores, where he was frequent
visitor. And the mild, inoffensive real
estate dealer who came down on the
cars each morning and returned at s
at night with the regularity of clock
work, spent his evenings and his Sun
day after church in reading bloody
tales of the border and Indian mas
sacres.-New York Telegraph.
