A foreign surgeon has put forward
the suggestion that appendicitis is
caused by the habit of crossing the
legs which restricts the action of the
digestive apparatus. The appendix
is only loosely attached to the caecum,
and there is always some half-digest-
ed food in the caecal bag. BY cross
ing the legs there is liability that
the undigested food may pass into
the vermiform appendix and set up
an Inflammation, in few hours pa
theological process set in and an attack
of appendicitis is developed.-EX.

No, my son, do not argue with

you at his own game and you will only
sink yourself to his low level. Re
member. my son, that Il man without
reputation and who is himself entire
ly devoid of truth cannot in the least
damage your reputation for veracity
by calling you liar. So long as he
produces no proof whatever for his
charge it is empty and entirely harm
less 10 you and will only bring
further contempt upon him. A thief
will naturally charge all men with
stealing. and it is not unlikely that
a bride taker believes all other men
will take brides. Never give battle
to a pole-cat. 1t is no evidence of Il
want OF courage upon your part that
you define to yet down on all tours
and fight skunk: but to do so would
show you to be great fool. The old
saving is true, ''Give villain rope
enough and lie will hang himself" 1t
