A Lesson in Penuriousness.

This incident from the Saturday
Evening Post illustrates the thrift
which has always been present in all
transactions made by Russell Sage:
I. A prominent New York fnancier
says that recently, while on a tour Of
inspection over the Missouri Pacific
system, President Gould took great
pride in pointing out to Russell Sage
the late improvements in equipment,
and various new and ingenious de-
vices and attachments. Among the lat
ter Mr.. Gould was especially pleased
to show to Mr.. Sage a certain device
by which there is, registered the speed
OF a train. The device in question re-
sembled a steam-gauge, and was con
nected with an axle. so that the pointer
registered the number of revolutions
every minute.
MI. Sage examined the device with
great interest. Then, after a moments
pause be looked up at Mr.. Gould and
asked with the greatest solemnity:>
Does it earn anything?"

ldent of the system smilingly.

ERRORS OF THE TYPES.

A Few of the Misprints That Shorten
Editors Lives.
At a literary dinner in New York
G. D. Gibson, the illustrator, quoted a
number of amusing misprints for sew.
eral years, and already had in his
collection 200 good specimens.
He first quoted a misprint about a
bishop who was confined to the house
with a violent cold. The newspaper
that mentioned the prelate's illness
said he was confined to the house
with a violent scold."
Another quotation concerned a Brit.
ish nobleman who had Joined a party
of friends in Hampshire for the pur.
pose of shooting %pheasants. This
the compositor had made to read:
"He has joined a party of friends in
Hampshire for the purpose Of shoot
ing peasants"
THAT, though" said Mr.. Gibson, is
an old and famous misprint, and you
may have heard of it before. You
may, too, have heard of the one about
a surgeon taken alive in the river
that sold for six cents a pound But
I doubt if any of you have ever heard
of the misprint that appeared last
February in a Vermont newspaper.
This paper wished to say in praise OF
a very aged and distinguished citi-
zen:

J CHER, proudly loving his native state
"But the types made this sentence
run:
"John Green is a hobby old burglar,

SURGERY IN FAVOR.

People Now Submit to Operations VINO
Once Shrank.
Not so many years ago surgical op-
erations were generally regarded by
the public as a-means of last resort,
and were submitted to only when the
patient or his family was advised that
no other escape was open for the suf-
ferer. Frequently the sick man was
in extremes when he went under the
surgeons knife, and it is asserted by
medical men that the large mortality
in a given number of operations was
due to this fact. In this way the popu-
lar fear Of going through these or
deals was increased. the surgeons gen.
orally being held responsible for the
| fatal outcome
To-day there is less fear Of the
| knife, and statistics show that the
mortality is far less, This is attribut-
ed by. the profession to the advanced
| views now held and what nay be
termed the greater popularity of sur
gerry. Of course, a most potent con-
tribution to this condition of affairs
is the more extensive knowledge pos
sessed by the modern surgeon and his
greater skill. But there is another
source from which help comes; that
is, that cases requiring the services
Of surgeons are not delayed until the
last minute when the patients are sc
exhausted or they cannot stand the
shock they must necessarily sustain.
To-day it is appreciated by all stu
dents of the ills to which flesh is he'll
that if the knife is to- be used the
sooner it is Gone the better; just as
everybody knows that if a disease is
to be checked, the sooner medicine is
administered the better. And to this
view of the matter the doctor and TIT
surgeon have gradually educated the
people. This accounts for the popu
larity of surgery and for the materia
diminishing of the death rate of per
sons passing under the knife.-Balti
