on the popular play by explaining the ap-
parent oddly of priest favorably dis
cussing the modern stage. The popular
play had its origin 10 the miracle plays of
ancient England and these miracle plays
were limitations of Oriental religious
dramas, which were played only by the
clergy for the edification of the people. 1t
was quite natural therefore for the priest
to be interested in the play. Besides, the
popular play is great social force, end
much cleaner on the whole than the mod
ern novel and the journal. With this In
PRODUCTION, the lecture went ON to show
how the play can preach a sermon, illus
trate a great principle, and overthrow the
prejudices of centuries. His descriptions
of scenes from the great plays of the last
twenty years were interesting and power
full. He finds the drama more favorable
to things Catholic than any other depart
ment OF English literature, and In proof
OF this statement he instanced such PLAYS
as Richelieu and Mary Stuart. Father
Smith was listened to with profound at
tention, and the audience went home high
~ pleased, amused and instructed by the
literary treat he furnished them. Besides
the lecture, the entertainment included
several selections Of vocal and instrument
al music. The Citizens band enlivened
the evening with some spirited numbers ;

SURGERY ON WHALE SHIPS.
the Crews Some times Performed
by the Captains.

Some remarkable surgery has been
performed by captains of the whaling
ships in the Arctic ocean. Accidents
sometimes happen on board the whal-
ers. and as there is rarely medical
man in the feet the captain is Obliged
to treat the injured men, says the New
York Sun.
Guided only by common sense, some
OF these captains have managed to per-
form even amputations with success.
When Surgeon Call, of the revenue cut
ter Bear, was in Alaska recently he
was much impressed with the work of
this character that had been done by
Capt. George b. Leavitt, of the whaler
Newport. He asked him for an account
OF his experience. Capt. Leavtt's re-
ply, which has been published by the
revenue cutter service, is in part as
follows:
"The first Of the amputations since
the ships began wintering on Her.
schers island was on Il man belonging
TO the Mary d, Hume. Half his right
used being a butcher knife and hack
saw. 1t was the first attempt of the
kind up there, and putting the patient
under chloroform, which was out Of
our line, was slow process.
1--WE placed the bottle under his nose,
and after he had taken a Whit we would
ask him If he were sleepy. This was
kept up for half an hour without any
effect. We then made paper cone,
put in some waste saturated with chic
reform, and the man went right off.
1t was a square cut across the foot. 1t
turned out well, but the big toe, or
the bone the big toe grows on, was a
long time healing.
my next big contract was taking off
the right arm of Mr.. West, the third
officer of the Navarch. The arm was
amputated few inches below the
shoulder, cleaning off all the burnt
flesh. In putting ligature on the
large artery, gut was used. The small
veins were touched with caustic. Later
] had to make a second operation, this
time laying open the entire shoulder
and taking out the bone to within an
inch of the joint.
'Iodoform was the only antisep tic
that / had in all my surgery. Aftf
such operations as these used cocaine
or morphine whichever ] happened to
have on hand) to deaden the pain. All
the subjects we have worked on have
turned out well. / have not studied
medicine nor had Iseen anything of the
kind done until was compelled to do it
while at Herschel island"
