SURGERY In EANQR.
People Now submit to Operations who
Once shrank.


Once Shrank.
Not SO many years ago surgical op.
erations were generally regarded by
the public as n 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 1t is asserted by
medical men that the large mortality
in 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 may be
termed the greater popularity of sur
gerry. OF course, 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 so
exhausted or they cannot stand the
shock they must necessarily sustain.
To-day 1t is appreciated by all stu.
dents of the ills TO which flesh is heir
that IL the knife is to be used the
sooner 1t Is Gone the better: just as
everybody knows that IL disease is
TO be checked. the sooner medicine is
administered the better. And TO this
view of the matter the doctor and the
surgeon have gradually educated the
people. This accounts for the popu-
larity Of surgery and for the material
diminishing of the death rate of per.
sons passing under the knife.-Baltl.

A Lesson in PeDuriousness.

This incident from the Saturday
Evening Post illustrates the thrift
which has always been present ip all
transactions made by Russell Sage:
A prominent New York financier
says that recently, while on 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 train. The device in question re.
sembled stcam-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 Il moments
pause he looked up at Mr.. Gould and
asked with the greatest solemhity:
Does 1t earn anything?"
NO, ! think not" answered the pres.
ident Of the system smilingly.
Does 1t save anythingg'
"No."
"Then," concluded Mr.. Sage decided.

PORTABLE COTTAGES.

A Joke an n .JoLer

When Bill Nye and VIII Visscher
