Operations are becoming a fad; every
young man, as soon as he is graduated from
a medical college, considers himself oapa-
BILE OF undertaking the most serious and
complicated surgical work, and hundreds of
lives are sacrificed annually to this mad
frenzy of incompetent men, TO rush into
work which should only be undertaken as
last resort. and then only by the most ex-
perieneed and careful surgeons.

The ChiIdren's FavorIte.

One of the greatest difficulties encoun-
tered when children are i'll is the objection
they have to taking medicine. The remedy

administered. Mr.. G. G. Wagner of Spring
Grove, Pa, overcomes this annoyance by

THREW HERSELF FROM A TRAIN
Syrian Girl Preferred Death to Separation
From Lover

Detroit, Sept. 26.--Driven to des-
peratlon by the prospect of being for
ever separated from her lover, in the
expectation Of marrying whom she had
nearly circled the globe, Alexandra Jo-
seph, young Syrian girl, threw her
self from the window of a Michigan
Central passenger train running fifty
miles an hour yesterday afternoon and
was instantly killed. The tragedy oc-
CURED two miles north of Newport
and was the elimination Of years OF
effort on the part of Joseph Abodee, of
Cedar Rapids. Ia, TO lead his Old
World sweetheart TO the altar. When
he had saved enough money to bring
the girl to this country and she had
come as far as Montreal last May, the
United States immigration bureau
reached out to separate the lovers, and
the plucky fight which the young man
attempted against fate ended yesterday
in his sweethearts death. The girl
was refused admittance to the United
States on the charge that she was af-
iiicted with trachoma.
The girl was being taken to New
York, from where she was to have
been deported to Syria.

QUEER GID FLASKS
New YOfk Wine NJ reliant Has an In-
tcresIiUg Collection

There is ar old wine merchant in
New York who has a curious collection
Of old bottles.
One, which he believes to be the old
est bottle used for holding liquor in
this country, came from Nassau, In the
Bahamas, originally filed with snun.
1t Is made of a coarse, seaweed colorel
glass and Is shaped somewhat like q
chestnut standing upright upon its
broad end. There IS broad bottomed
bottle which held madeira in Charles
ton in 1910 and a Viennese bottle 125
years old, whose slender, graceful
curves have been supplanted today by
more commercial shape. The first
American gin bottle, from the Schuch-
adt estate, has a pouter pigeon shape,
which is delightful to the eye.
Among the later bottles are some
which constitute the product Of the
bottle makers art when impressed
glass came into use. on each side fig
ures are nodded into the glass. There
are a number OF railroad bottles" On
one wagon running on rails and
drawn by horse is depicted on both
sides, with the motto, Success to the
Railroad." On another the same primi-
tive arrangements are shown, commem-
Grating the railroad at Lowell, and on
the reverse Of the bottle a spread eagle
imbedded In thirteen stars.
George Washington figures on one
bottle, upon the reverse Of which was
Zachary Taylor, who, so says the glass,
"never surrenders." A spread eagle
and what appears to be Masonic
shrine, fruit basket and horn of plen-
ty and two trees, one In leaf. the other
bare, representing summer and win
ter" are both two faced designs. a
large, round bottle, which in these days
would contain Holland gin, is impress
ed with series of monks at their
prayers. 1t was called the apostles

who had it put, by cdict, out Of general

ENeLAND's SEA eYPsIEs.
A Strange Little Tribe Phat Lives
Always ON Bonts.

Always on Boats.
A strange and almost unknown part
Of the population Qf 1t can be called
that of the British isles is the queer
semiwild folk known as sea gypsies.
Real gypsies they are, differing from
their fellow gypsles In the fact that
they always live ON the sea and that,
never having mingled with landsmen,
their type is much purer and more
nearly resembles the original.
There are about 500 sea gypsies In
Britain. They cruise along the coast,
seldom touching the land. but always
close to 1t, in old and weatherbeaten
craft that may have carried their
grandfathers.
When the tide Is out, the old craft
will often drop anchor by sand bank
island far out at sea, and her crew will
grub for cookies with their hands, fill
ing n score Of baskets but saying moth
ing TO each other, for they are almost
out Of the habit Of speech. They flnd
fifty shellnsh where the ordinary fisher
man finds one, but they rarely do the
same thing two days running, and in
the next hour they may be snarlng rab-
bits on headland miles away.
The sea gypsies are wild eyed and
thickset Their hair is always either
Jet black or golden. They are still OF
almost pure Morse or Danish descent
never having used the land and mixed
with the shore folk to any extent
Their hands seem to be all thumbs in
stead Of fingers, so powerful and stubby
are the diglts, because they have done
nothing but haul ropes and dig In th'
wet sand.-New York Press.
