His Moments of Joy.

Did you ever hear of the strange
man who went out to summer hotel
once for holiday? He impressed on
the clerk the first day he was there
that 1t was Of vital Importance that he
be called at o'clock next morning.
He was called. He didn't come down
stairs till 2 in the afternoon. The in
junction to the clerk was repeated ev-
cry day, and every day the mysterious
guest staid in his room till late in the
afternoon. When he had been at the
place a week and was about to leave.
the clerk said to him:
II beg your pardon, sir; it's none of
my business. but why have you left or
ders to be called at 6 o'clock every
morning and never got out Of bed till
several hours laterT'
"Well." he replied, "J'll tell you.
Back In the city I've got a job that
compels me to get up every morning,
summer and winter. at 8 O'clock. This
Is my first vacation for five years. Ev-
cry day when your bellboy has come
up stairs and banged at the door I've
started up to dress and get down to the
Office and then suddenly let the convic-
tion steal blissfully over my brain that
/ didn't have to. Then I've gone back
to bed. hugged the pillow and dreamed
that was In the Elysian fields. That
moment Of joy that has followed the
banging on my door every morning has
been worth three times the price Of the
bill."-Chicago imes-Herald.

Surgery without Pain.

The discovery that local anasthesia
may be successfully applied in cases Of
major surgical operations may well
mark the commencement Of new
epoch In medicine. Heretofore chloro-
form and ether have been the only
agents used in serious operations, and
the fact that they sometimes have
serious effect on the vital organs and
always produce unconsciousness has
lent an additional terror to the dread
with which such emergencies are faced.
Now, according to the reports from
the international medical congress ,e-
Gently held In Paris, II is possible to
apply local anasthesia so that while
the patient retains consciousness the
operation Is painless. and at the same
time there is no danger of after effects.
A discovery Of this kind which lessons
human suffering and makes it possible
to save a greater percentage of human
lives is really of greater Importance
and significance than some or the more
celebrated inventions which while
helping to save time and work add at
the same time to the countless dangers
with which civilization surrounds peo-
pie.
1t is a striking thing that while the
man who invents new way Of con-
veying or of storing the deadly electric
fiuid or new and more wholesale way
of killing men Is richly rewarded In
financial way the man who has made
this great discovery in painless surgery
gives 1t to the world without thought
of reward except such as shall come to
him in the way Of enhanced profession
al reputation.

Reason for the Delay.

Seven hundred and seventy-six
rural mail delivery routes have
been established since the lst of
July and they are so popular that
the postofice department is fairly
swamped with applications forthe
establishment of others. William
E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record,
says that congress appropriated
ST., 10000 for the establishment
of rural free-delivery mail service
during the current fiscal year and
it is unfortunate that the amount
was not four times as large, be-
cause the funds available do not
permit the postmaster-general to
comply with more than a small
percentage of the demands that
are daily coming to the depart
ment. The new service is so pop
ular with the farmers that almost
every candidate for congress is
beseeching the acknowledgement
to establish few routes in his
district, but the money will not &c
round and the rule is to take the
applications in the order in which
they were fled. The first who
came will be the first served, for !
would not do to discriminate in sc
popular and important an enter
prise. Farmers in the vicinity o
Brookings win therefore under
stand why their petitions for thi'
service have not been granted. al
though their applications ma!
have been on file at the postoffic'
department for some time.

Bote aus Zion, a mission journal pub
lished at Jerusalem. gives an account
Of the undermining Of the ancient Jew
ish capital which Is Of especial interest
In connection with the proceedings Of
the Zionist congress In London. Dur
ing the present century the sleeping
city has been thoroughly modernized.
and II is since that time that Christians
have been given the right to acquire
property, for until recently, even In Off
cial utterances. Christians were desig-
mated as dogs" Recently the city has
prospered greatly, the population hav-
ing increased from $4,000 in 1851 to
about 10000 In 1900. Pilgrims from all
parts of the world go there. and there
has been a great revival OF trade and
business. Modern hotels followed the
construction of the railroad from jana,
and during the last five years tele-
phones, telegraphs and other modern
inventions have been installed In the
City of David. If the ambition Of the
Zionists to restore to Judaism its an
cient capital Is ever realized, they will
find 1t very much like other modern
cities.
