Thanks to Pasteur and Lister. the
surgeon OF to-day can do some aston
ishing things in the way of grating
one piece of living tissue on another.
A remarkable case is furnished by a
doctor who writes to the British Medi-
cal Journal. His patient had finger
bitten clean off by pig, through the
shaft of its middle bone. He put the
finger in his pocket, among lot of
tobacco dust and other rubbish, and
walked with friend six miles to the
doctor, who demanded to see 1t. The
finger had been cut off for about two
hours. The doctor applied antiseptics
to the end of the finger after wiping
of the tobacco and ashes and dirt,
similarly cleansed the stump that re-
mained on the patients hand, put the
two together, applied a couple of
splints, and the patient uses his fin.
ger to-day. Such are the healing pow
ers of the healthy body.

Bunyan Warrant for Sale

The announcement of the impending
sale of the original warrant on which
John Bunyan was arrested 2S0 years
ago and clapped into Bedford Jail
for a canting. crop-headed vagabond

vent hope from English bibliophiles
that the document will not be allowed
to cross the Atlantic.
Interest in Bunyan relics is very
keen among collectors, and it is sure
to fetch big price. Three years ago

was first offered for sale at Sotheby's S
many years ago, in some inexplicable
way it eluded the vigilance of some of
the keenest eyes among European
antiquaries. Perhaps this was due TO
the way 1t was catalogued among a
lot of valuable old manuscripts, the

Compromised with the Rat.

A Portland man who maintains a

Tucked on the trucks and clutching

And here In the ways of his boyhooo

He stumbled and cursed the wretch he
was with something like honest scorn.
He thought of the lies his letters had told
to the loving folks back there
Protestations of decent ways and vows
that his deeds were square.
Lies and les-the scoffing lesl He had
held them better than truth.
But here, In the hush of the helds or

For Wickeder far his mock OF loVe--anu

And under the lilacs shrouding shade. in
the lamplights mellow glare,
He knelt by the window-sill and gazed on
the old folks sitting there.
Staring in from the chill of night on the

And hearing the trustful boasts of those
to whom his letters lied.
They were telling one who sat with them
the news of their worthy son,

There are lots of hard things that

not to seem discouraged when the
