Amcsthetics Wore Iacd.


An"sthetics Were Used.
Before anpsthctics We're known the
surgeons only expedlent was to abridgc
his patients sufferings by working
rapidly. In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had control and a
surety in their hands that are now sell
dom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon Maisonneure had to amputate
the leg of poor devil who began to
howl in advance. 'l'Il give you my
watch" said the surgeon, Elf the oper-
alton lasts more than minute" The
man accepted the offer. but was obliged
to forego the handsome watch, as the
operation took less time than 1t re-
quires to describe.
TO amputate an arm at the shoulder
Is n most difficult operation. DIR. Ian
genbeck of Germany did it In two min
utes. 4 young physician who came TO
see him perform the operation adjusted
his spectacles to his nose so as not to
lose a single movement, but when the
spectacles were in place the operation
was over, and the severed arm lay on
the floor
Times have changed much since then
1t suiiices to put bit of chloroform or
ether on n compress and let the patient
breathe through 1t for few minutes
TO put him into slumber so deep that
he remains inert while the surgeon
makes his incsiOn, cuts, files the bone
and sews up the flesh. On awaking the
operation is over, and the patient
knows nothing of It, Thanks to chloro-
form, surgeons can practice operations
today which arouse our admiration.

Nearly every nation has its own par
ticular form of food, and things which
some races would not, as the express
sion goes, touch with the tongs" are
considered by others as the greatest
luxury.
For instance, while the Arab eats his
lotus bread and dhourra with the relish
of fresh dates, the Greenlander gorges
himself on animal fat and whale oil as
the necessary means of keeping
warmth In his body. Hindoos will not
touch any form of flesh, but live happi
ly on rice and rancid butter. An Eng
lishman is supposed to value beef and
bacon above all other articles of food
while the jewellers in the Apennines
live on cheStnuts. In ancient days the
Roman emperors We're accustomed to
have peacock served at all great
feasts as one of the principal dainties,
while in these days birds nests and
rats form choice dishes in Chinese
menu.
Some people say that snail soup is
delicious, while the French assure you
that there are few more delicate dishes
than those made out of frogs legs

THE STATELY STORK.
His Immense Power ON the Wing
and Ills Lnck of Voice.

and Ills Lnck of Voice.
In Holland the nests of storks are
generally on the summit of a tall post,
put up on purpose for them, on which
is fixed an old cart wheel. Says an
English writer: Il Dutch gentleman
of my acquaintance has one such post
in his grounds within sight of his IL
brary window, but he improves on the
cart wheel by having an iron frame
work for the reception of the nest. The
first year ii was put UP, toward the
end of June, n solitary young stork
used to come daily and inspect this
framework. l saw him there myself
one day, standing In the empty recep-
tacle exactly like would be Benedict
inspecting an empty house, contem-
plating the view and wondering if the
drains are all right. The verdict was
apparently favorable for next season
saw the nest occupied by the newly
welded pair, Their power of wing is
very fine, and on hot days l have
watched them ascending spiral circles,
hardly moving their broad, black
wings, till they have looked no bigger
than flies. After the young are hatch
ed they appear to he suspicious of one
another and unwilling TO leave the
nest unguarded.'
Storks have no voice. The only noise
they make is "klappering' Swapping
their great red mandibles rapidly and
loudly. Thus they greet one another,
generally by throwing back the head
until the upper mandible rests on the
back, but occasionally "klapperlng" is
performed with the head and bill in
the former position.
