BEWARE OF CANCER OF LARyNx
English Specialist Says Middle Aged
Men Especially Liable.

New York Nov. s--Hundreds ot
| specialists In disease of the throat
from this and many other cities have
gathered to hear what they consider
one OF the most interesting papers on
cancer of the larynx ever presented In
this country. II was prepared and read
by Sir Felix Semon OF London. under
the auspices of the section ON
larynology and rhlnology of the New
York Academy of Medicine, Sir
Felix laid great stress on the neces-
sity for men who had reached the age
of 40 to watch closely for symptoms
of cancer OF the larynx lie advised
those approaching that age not to de-
lay In seeing physician II he were
troubled by hoarness. The redness
of the throat and the formation of IA
nodule In the vicinity of the larynx
were danger signs, which. he said
should not be neglected. Sir Felix
also contradicted the theories Of many
American practitioners that II the
cancer were recognized In its early
stage II could be cured without the re-
moval Of the larynx.
Attention was drawn to the impor-
tance of making microscopic ex-
animation Of patient who develops
suspicious symptoms. In describing
his method of treatment. he said the
operation (known os throtemy) con-
sists merely In laying back the flaps
of the cartilage known as the thyroIis
and removing diseased tissue found
In the larynx. In this way the pa
tients' power of speech is saved.
DR.. Semon took the ground that OPP
erations which resulted In the loss Of
voice and weakened the patient were
scarcely worth the trouble Of prolonging
a life which was attended with con-
stant misery.

TUNIs SHEEP AT THE FAIR.
Remnant of Once Famous Breed
From Africa.

The only flock of Tunis sheep ex-
hibited at the Worlds fair was that
of Charles Rountree of Crawfords-
vile, Ind. The Tunis type of sheep
is rare breed and the flock which
was exhibited is descended directly
from two animals that were brought
to this country from Africa in 1899
by General William Eaton, who was
at that time United States consul to
Tunis.
He purchased them from the Bey
of Tunis, but only one ram and one
eve survived the voyage to this coun-
try This pair, Caramelli and Sellni,
were placed under the care of Judge
Richard Peters, a noted sheep breed
er. near Philadelphia, and a flock of
Tunis sheep was raised.
These were all sent south to North
and South Carolina, Virginia and
Georgia, where they were successfully
bred until the beginning of the Civil
war. The breed was then entirely
lost until small flock was discover
ed in the swamps of South Carolina
in 1890, by Maynard II. Springer of
Columbia. The half dozen were
caught and the breed was again start
ed.
The flock exhibited at the Worlds
fair are the progeny of this remnant
of the flock of Tunis sheep that was
lost sight of for so years.

vide the tone which is the life of the

II may be impOlite to repeat what
one overhears at dinner. but | cannot
resist telling some of the interesting
things | heard as | sat in my corner
of the old cafe on Santa Lucia. At a
table a stranger is being told the his
tory of Santa Lucia In the begin
ming it was merely a barren rock lift
ing it's bald head above the dusty
plain. In it's bosom there were num-
berless caves where robbers fed after
committing their nefariou9 acts. 1t
was safe retreat for thief and assas-
sin. And many maiden was forcibly
carried to captivity in this rookery of
devils imps. Now the robbers are
gone and their haunt has become one
of the fairest garden spots in the
world.
The arrival of another party
arouses new interest, and the little
gossip bees begin TO DuZZ. me ROD
bers and their dark deeds are soon
forgotten as the dowager seats her
self and begins her study of the wine
list. They say her thirst is quite in
keeping with her size, and thai after
her third glass OF wine she always
tells stories'that make the men laugh
and the women blush. The slender lit
tie girl in pink belongs to a good
family that is very bad off financially.
The girl is pretty and sweet, and it is
to be hoped she will marry well. A
rich foreigner has called upon her sew
eral times. Every one hopes he will
propose. If he does, the roomers
will be turned out, and next year
the mother will have a new gown
when the president entertains.

The pride OF Santiago and of Chill
is the wonderful hill OF Santa Lucia.
1t is towering pile of volcanic rock
so covered by trees and vines and
flowers that it looks like a great gar
den hanging in the air. It's sides are
scanned by walks and roads that coil
about it like the clinging folds of
a serpent, and to follow them is like
turning the pages of a book Of views.
Here is a spreading tree with vine
about its stout trunk, and a flower in
full bloom among it's thick branches !;
there is a white fountain with goldfish
leaping about the feet of the stone
mermaid reclining in the water; in
that grotto the marble image Of a
saint has been bending over it's pray
or book for so many years that a
cushion Of moss has grown about its
knees, and a coat of dust has settled
upon it's shoulders.
Below is the vista Of the city, it's
many blocks looking like tiny squares
in great checker board, split here
and there by long, slender streamers
Of green, which are rows of trees

The Rosary of Years.

Some reckon their age by years.
Some reckon their life by art
But some tell their days by the flow OF
their tears,
And their life by the means of their
heart.
The dials of earth may show
The length. not the depth. of years;
Few or many they come-few or many
But our time is best measured by tears
All, not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass OIL
cur way
And not by the burrows the finger o:
care
on the forehead and face have made,
Not so do We count our years:
Not BIZ the sun Of the Carth-but the
shade
OF or souls, and the fall of our tears.
For the young are sometimes old.
While their blood beats warm, their heart
lies cold
Ger them the sprlngtime-but winter is
there.
And the cid are ofttimcs young.
When their hair is thin and white;
And they sing in age as in youth they
And they laugh, for their cross was
liGh,
thousand of joys may foam
: ON the pillows of all the years:
But never the foam brings the brave bark
home:
1t reaches the haven through tears.
Father Ryan.

Used Philosophy In Fishing.

Herbert Spencer once won curious
wager. He was staying for fishing
holiday in the house of Sir Francis
Powell the president of the Scottish
academy, and while angling for trout
he happened to drop his eye glasses
into deep pool of the river. In the
evening he related his misadventure
TO his most and the guests, and said
that he was prepared to bet that he
would recover the pince-nez from the
bottom of the pool. His friends de-
clared that this was an impossible
feat, but Herbert Spencer still offered
to make the bet. His challenge was
accepted by one of the visitors Upon
the following morning Spencer re.
turned to the house with the missing
eyeglasses. He had fastened a strong
magnet on the end of his fishing line
and sished for the glasses until it
came into contact with their steel
rims.

And it was worth it," he nodded.
Five minutes later little girls came
