MADE A BUFFALO.
Membership in the Order Con-
ferred Upon Mrs. Nation.

Mrs Carrie Nation this morning re-
ceived q letter from Bill Smart Of Ash
worth. Texas. enclosing a card Of MEM
bership to the Arkansas Buffalo Pond
on Kings Creek Of the Order Of Bunaloes
in the jurisdiction of Texas. Her name
appears on the card as secretary OF TIE
Arkansaw Buffalo Pond.
When Mrs Nation read the letter she
laughed and said that it was the second
one she had received. This order Of
Bufaloes.v she said, ..is the most disre-
putable organization ever heard of. =

an Optician.s He was afraid the op-
ticians would be hurt and had the clause
inserted for their protection, whereas il
it were followed, it might instead prove
i hardship. An oculist is a. specialist
who makes a practice of treating an
organ Of the body with other remedies
than mere s2ectacles- 1t is right he
should be included.
we protested against the inclusion of
opticians The idea of making a six
months study Of the anatomy Of the eye
and contiguous parts is amusing. Phys
icians have to study four years to be put
in a professional class and the time to
make a professional optician is SO small
as to be almost absurd. They should not
be included in the law. There is no need
or reason for it.
Besides. the clause being inserted as
it was, there is no mention of opticians
in the title and that part of the law
would be invalid in the courts. The law
says opticians will be eligible to regis
ter. 1 do not think they viii be COM
PEELED to do so. There is no fee stated
for them to pay.
Opticians need not be alarmed. 1t
is doubtful if that part of the law will
be enforced by the board. unless the op-
ticians want to force it themselves"

PAIN WITHOUT SUFFERING.
A Physicians View Of the Use Of Anaes-
thetlCS.

pain Is a great mystery" remarked
a physician who has fondness for the
recondite side of his profession. ut
is claimed by certain theorists that
people who are placed under the influ
ence of an anaesthetic for surgical OPP
erations really suffer everything they
would otherwise. but forget about 1t
when they return to consciousness, and
good many ingenious arguments are
advanced to support the proposition
1t is a rather CHASTITY idea, and l am
glad to say that the real evidence is all
the other way, but it is a pretty well
established fact that certain anaethet-
ics-ether, for instance, and nitrous
oxide gas-will sometimes prevent suf =
fering without destroying conscious
ness of pain.
THAT sounds like a paradox, and IS
somewhat difficult to explain without
becoming more paradoxical still. The
effect of the anaesthetic, in the strange
cases to which | refer, is to render pain
pleasant. While apparently insensi-
BILE, the patient is fully conscious of ev-
erything that is going on
and the nerves respond as
readily as ever, but instead of
producing physical discomfort the ef-
feet is exactly the reverse. l have en-
countered several anomalies of that
kind and one quite recently. The sub
ject was a middle-aged man whose
foot had been injured by an accident.
| had to amputate the two last toes,
and the oUeration, which was under
ether, lasted about twenty minutes.
When the man recovered from the in
fiuence of the drug he tried to tell me
about his sensations, but although he
struggled hard he could find no words
in which to express them. L felt all
the pain he said, 'but somehow 1T
didn't seem to hurt me- Then 1T
wasn't pain said l, cndeavoring to
draw him out. oh, yes it was he re-
piled, earnestly, but liked it; | didn' {
want you to stop He repeated a num-
ber of things that had ben said during
the operation, and it was evident that
he had been conscious all the while
at least conscious of his surroundings.
1.-The other patients seemed to have
had practically the same experience
and encountered the same difficulties
in making themselves understood.
They were trying to express the mex
pressible. Such instances are, OF
course, rare but they are familiar to
almost every surgeon in general prac-
rice. Explain them7 ] don't attempt

SAINT PAUL
Was the Dominant Factor in the Days Trad

by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
New York. Jan. 2S.-The huge pro-
portion of dealings in st. Paul made it
the dominant factor in today's market
It's Influence was marked on a very
few stocks nearly affiliated with it,
and the general list showed a drag
ging tendency both on the upward AN l
downward course. The violent and
erratic movements in st. Paul kept the
market confused and unsettled for the
greater part of the day.
Considerable gains were established
during the early dealings and later in
the day prices fell considerable be
low Saturdays level. but the net
changes are for the most part small
and some gains are mixed with pre-
ponderant losses. st. Paul at one time
was nearly three points above Satur-
day and at another time over two
points below. and closed the day with
a net loss of IL.
A very noticeable feature of trading
was the much heavier volume of tran
sactions on the advance than on the
decline. Very heavy offerings had to
be taken before the advance was in
augurated, prices running off a point
from the opening under the crushing
weight of offerings and very heavy
blocks being taken at each stage of the
advance. The closing was generally
heavy and dull
