In general the profession in this
country is united in the belief that
ether is a much more satisfactory an
aesthetic than chloroform. A not in
considerable number, however, pre-
fer chloroform, particularly under
especial circumstances, and some op-
orators who have no well-equipped
clinics at their command tend to use
chloroform when working by artif-
cial light, and particularly in ILL
equipped houses. 1t is, however, known
by most pharmacologists and by many
others that .chloroform has dangers
when used by artificial light, but this
fact is by no means generally recog.
nized. Persons have been killed by the
decomposition of chioroform by gas
light. 1t has been attempted to over.
come the danger of the production OF
this form of poisoning by placing soda
or borax solution of milk of lime in
the operating room, but these methods
have been shown to be wholly Insult
cient.--Philadelphia Medical Journal

MRS. ANNIE BEsANT.


The end of Annie Besant is not yet,
This seems to be the feeling which has
been created in England, where the
most famous Of living theosophists
has been making three months visit.
Mrs. .Besant left England . few days
ago, on her way to India, where mat
tiers connected with the school for
natives which she founded at Benarcs
several years ago claim her attention.
She is going by way of the continent
and will hold theosophical meetings in
Germany, Switzerland and Italy
evidently sailing from a southern
port Mrs. Besant win return to Eng
land in June and pursue her calling as
latter day Blavatsky in the vicinity
Of London.
A few years ago IL was prophesied
fully that Annie Besant was about to
be ignored by the world at large and
England in particular. But this proph-
ecy has not been fulfilled. In fact,
the little part. of the universe repre-
scented by this island. at least, thinks
more kindly of Mrs. Besant than 1t
ever did before. She seems to have
lived down much of the antagonism
her earlier life aroused and to have
inspired kindlier feeling among her
countrymen than they were wont to
show her. While in England Mrs.
Besant held many lectures aud it was
only a few days before her departure
that she spoke to great audience in
London.
She retains her marvellous charm

Once upon a time there was fair
young girl who had many suitors, but
she received them all with equal gra-
ciousness and waited for her affec-
tions to dictate which should be the
especially favored one.
Finally, she heard that rich uncle
of one of her wooers had died leaving
him clear and unencumbered title to
many acres of very valuable land.
When next she met the young man she
showed quite plainly that her affec-
tions had begun to dictate.
The result was that they were mar
ried when the next June came around.

you up to justice, but for the sake Of

He fixed his sad gaze upon me and
said: do not trouble yourself, dear
madam, it was justice, for brought it
on myself by my rashness and fiery
temper, but God only knows how
bless you for giving me even few
hours of freedom.
He left us and hurried away toward
his home. My heart felt lighter than
it had for years, and ! prayed that the
poor fellow would have the privilege
of seeing his mother and sweetheart
again. But my hopes were dashed
away as number of officers dashed

TO PUT OUT GOOD TEAM.
o. A. c. Football Aggregation VIII
Have Strong Lineup.

The football team of O. A. c.
is gradually assuming a football
aspect, 1t is too early to predict
what will be the chance of the
Agricultural College team in car
rying off the championship. All
of the old men have not yet ar
rived, but enough are back to in
sure at least good team. Some
new material is evident and may
bring forth some surprises among
them. Vanderhellen is the most
promising. He is a six-footer
with good leg and can punt the
ball fifty yards with ease. Jack
son is an old o. A. e. boy, but
new to the football gridiron and
if strength and weight count for
anything will make a strong bid
for guard.
Nothing but light work has
been attempted SO far, as the first
game is still three weeks off.
Next week will find the squad
working hard and some scrim-
mage work work will be done.
Bert Pilkington, the captain, is
a hard worker and keeps his
men enthused and will be world
of strength to his team, if his
ankles will carry him through
the season. The back field is
we'll cared for in Williams, Root
and Pilkington. The line is
heavy but inexperienced, which
is a fault that time and practice
alone can remedy. Rhinehart is
a good man at quarter, but rather
light, but can handle the ball
and team i'll good style. The
coach is pleased with the outlook,
but realizes the team has plenty
of ha1dwork ahead.
If signs can be relied upon
Corvallis win have the strongest
team in years. ....
