A distinguished surgeon, who was
also a detective I'm embryo, was called
to perform an operation upon a man
who had been shot by an unknown as
sassin. The position OF the man and
the mystery of the shooting rendered
the case notorious. The man was un.
conscious at the time OF the operation,
and nothing could be obtained from
him. When the doctor examined the
wound, he said to his assistant:
"A pistol has been fred at him by q
person who is left handed"
While he was explaining the reasons
for his conclusion Mr.. 's partner, d
MFR. *, entered the room. Something
about his manner attracted the atten-
ton of the eminent surgeon, and he
whispered to his colleague:
IF that man were left handed, |
should at once suspect him of the
crime"
The next instant he turned to x. ana
said:
"Will you kindly hand me that llnt?'
X. did so, using his left hand. The
man died. X. was accused of the MUIR
der and upon being tried and condemn.
ed confessed his guilt.

A WONDERFUL FACTORY.
The sleepless and Busy workmen of
the Human Body.

the Human Body.
Andrew Wilson, the English scien-
fist, says the human body is work
shop. 1.-THE manufacturers are the
cells which form the essential parts
of every gland. Indeed cells appear be-
fore us as the yeritable workmen of
the whole body, ranging from nerve
cells, which rule us, to the cells that
build up and produce our bones. Now,
In the glands of the body these work
men, each a microscopic unit of proto-
plasm or living matter, discharge the
function of making from the blood
whatever product a gland may offer as
its contribution to life's processes. The
cells which compose our liver are bile
makers in addition to their performing
certain other curious works represent
ing the ltyer's duties. Other cells in the
glands of our eyes manufacture our
tears. Others again secrete the gastric
juice by which the food is acted upon
in the stomach. A fourth set Of cells
produces pancreatic juice in the sweet
bread, and fifth set supplies the sa-
Iva.
Tears, saliva and bile and SO forth
are all employed directly through their
being poured outward on the food or
into various organs. Even the oil that
lubricates our joints represents a Sc
erection which is perpetually being pro-
duced and insinuated between the sur
faces that move one upon the other.
When, however, we come to consider
internal secretions' very different
state of matters falls to be noted.
Here we meet with substances that
are not poured outwardly, but inward
ly. The work of internal secretion is
performed by certain glands. The thy
roid gland In the neck is one of them.
This is a gland which grows very
large In goiter or 'Derbyshire neck an
ailment of hard water districts. If the
secretion of this gland is not duly add
ed to the blood disease of q very dis
tinct type appears, and it is cured
when the physician administers to the
patient the thyroid gland substance of
the sheep.
''Eyen the sweetbread itself, though
it does make definite fluid of use in
digestion, seems also to supply some
thing necessary to the blood, for we
find that diabetes is always of more
serious type where the sweetbread is
involved. Such discoveries bring us to
the very limit of present day research
into living functions. Their most graft
flying feature in addition to their
throwing light on lifes workings is
that which places in the hands of the
physician knowledge both of the cause
of disease and of its cure

The carp, which plays so prominent
a part in Japanese decorations, is also
the principal dish at high class Jap
anese dinner. 1t is deemed to be the
dish above all others upon which young
men who desire a martial career
should be fed, as its eaters are sup
posed to imbibe the courage of the fish.
1t is the brayest of all the Japanese
fish. and the only one that can swim up
a waterfall. Yet when finally caught
it will lie perfectly still while waiting
to be killed These qualities Of brav-
.ery. strength and resignation are much
desired by japanese young men, ali
happy is the family on whose table
carp appears at frequent intervals.
