The stomach.

Large portions of the stomach may
be excised, or even the whole may be
removed, with no very great mortality,
and in successful cases with wonder
fully little effect on the patients d.
gestion. The stomach hardly Occu-
pies in our present opinion so impor-
tant place in digestion as it formerly
held. We know that it is rather pre-
parer for the exercise of the digestive
powers of the pancreas than an active
digestive agent itself and that one Of
its functions is to render innocuous
many of the heterogeneous which
enter with the food. So we can
understand to some extent the small
amount of interference with digestion
produced by even considerable resec-
tons of the stomach.-Lancet-

Remembered the one at Home.

A Lebanon man tells the following
for fact: One day a Linn county
farmer bought banana at his store,
the first one he had ever eaten. After
finishing 1t he threw the peel on the
floor. After gazing at it moment he
picked 1t up and wrapped it in piece
of paper and remarked:
Guess I'll take that home to my
wife and let her see what a banana
looks like. She never seed one"
And the man had an income of sew
eral thousand dollars year.-Portland

The ORIGIN OF phnn11 PARE.

The origin of the name Of Phoenix
park has puzzled many scholars unac-
quainted with the Irish language. The
manor was called in the Irish vernacu-
lar Fionn-uisge, pronounced finniske,
which signifies clear or fair water, and
which, articulated in the brief English
manner, exactly resembled the word
phoenix. The spring or well SO called
from which the park derives Its
name still exists close to the Dublin en-
trance of the viceregal lodge. 1t is
situated in glen beside the lower
lake and is one of the romantic objects
Of the park.-London News.

TUSCAN SONG.

When in the west the red sun sinks in glory,
The cypress tree stands up like gold, fine
gold,
And then the mother tells the child the story
OF the gold trees the heavenly gardens hold.
In golden dreams the child sees golden rivers,
Gold trees, gold blossoms golden boughs and
leaves.
Without the cypress in the night wind shivers,
Weeps with the rain and with the darkness
grieves.
