''The philosophy is that the Indian

THE MULE AS A KICKER.
There Are Those Who Profess to Be-
lieve the Animal Is SLAM
dered

It has become an everyday assertion
that nothing, or hardly anything, is
sacred in this generation, says the Phil
adelphia Record. Traditions which
have had the sanction of uncounted ages
and which were never before questioned
are now glibly and contemptuously de-
MED by the confident present. Perhaps
the most appalling instance of icono-
clasm is that of Col. Jenkins, of the
Nebraska national guard, who protests
that the mule is the most maligned of
all amiable creatures, and that it has
never, in any circumstances, kicked a
man.
There could be no more striking proof
of the incredulity, the rank agnosticism
of the time than this attempt to set
up the mule as a gentle, affectionate
and forbearing beast, which bears no
malice and would allow a man to tack
a placard on it's rump without kicking
out But it is not mainly because of
it's significance in this regard that the
denial of the mules kicking DISPOSE
ton is mischievous. Should Col. Jen-
kins' estimate of the mule accepted.
q vast amount of profanity which has
been looked upon as eXcusable or neces-
sary must be charged against mankind
as both wantOn and cruel. Even the
army chaplains were induced to con-
cede the blamelessness of the passion
ate language aimed at the army mule.
The obstinacy or inveterate wickedness
of the mule, it has been universally be-
lieved, required of its differentiation
an army teamster or plantation negro
"a flow of vitriolic profanity which, if
inexcusable and unnecessary, must con-
sign the human race to torment. It
may be amusing to light-minded per-
sons to assail cherished traditions, but
it is important that thoughtful men
should consider the consequences of
accepting the statement of the incred-
ulOus.

Rural Delivery History.
Against the resistance of Judge Hol-
man, Of Indiana, Mr. Loud, of California,
and others, passed through the house
the first appropriation which this gov
eminent ever made for the free delivery
Of mail to the people who live outside
cities, towns and villages. That resolu-
ton, which was defeated on the first
vote, but which I carried through on the
second February 18th, 1881 is the
foundation of the present rural free de-
livery system which gives employment
to 10000 men, and which carries civiliza-
ton to the remotest meek of the woods. u
The farmers Of America have seldom
asked anything in the way of favors from
the government: more seldom have they
got anything even when they asked The
rural free delivery does more for the
farmer than any law on the statute book
of this republic, and before all of the

PREPARING FOR OPERATION.
Surgeons Careful Attention to De"
tails and Few Moments
of Privacy.

Not long since we happened to Do
personally interested in a grave sur
gical operation about to be performed
in one of our hospitals, says Medical
Talk for the Home.
The surgeon who was to perform the
operation was in preparation for the
ordeal before him. He had thorough
ly disinfected his hands and clothing.
He had donned the operating robe OF
spotless white. His beard and hair
and nails mad been given the usual
attention.
After all this, he had retired to a
private room to spend few minutes
by himself
What was he doing?
In our opinion he was doing very
important thing before taking up the
task that lay before him. He was ly-
ing down on couch, in a dark room.
where no noise nor interruption could
disturb him. He was lying on his
back, with his eyes closed, going over
mentally every detail of the surgical
operation which he was about to per-
form. He was meditating upon the
solemn responsibility which he had
undertaken Whether the woman
about to be operated upon should re-
turn to her family, we'll and happy, to
take up again those duties that had
been interrupted by her sickness, or
whether she was miserably to perish,
victim of horrible disease, all de-
pended upon this surgeon.
Perhaps he was praying. Praying
for himself Praying for steady
nerve, clear eyesight, a courageous
but kindly spirit We hope so.
But whether or not he was praying,
at least he was doing very wise
thing. A few minutes of silence, of
calm deliberation, before entering up
on his task, Was a precaution which
we recommend to all surgeons.
We also recommend all surgeons
who use such precautiOn. Far bet
ter is such a procedure than to do
what so many surgeons do, nerve
themselves up with glass of whisky
or possibly hypodermic injection Of
morphine
The surgeon. like the priest. should
feel that his function in the world IS
holy one. If any man is in need
of divine guidance and strength more
than the priest it is the surgeon.
