dynamite blast, is recovering as the
result of clever piece of surgery per-
formed by DR.. George G. Weiss, who
inserted metal and rubber tubing in
the place Of the crushed organs. In
addition to "a coil Of rubber tubing,
through which Stranino is fed, there
are two metal couplers in his abdomen
which join intestines which were torn
apart. Truly wonderful are the adj
vances Of surgical science The day
has not yet arrived when a complete
living man may be made Of metal and
rubber and rabbits skin, but it is ap-
preaching. Men walking about with
active brains incaSed in silver skulls
are not at all uncommon. Metal bars
have supplemented bones in instances
too numerous to compute. Skin-graft
ing is an everyday affair. Persons
with wire-and-rubber noses have
ceased to be rare. False ears and glass
eyes are almost as commonplace as
wigs. Complexion-making has been
reduced to a simple art. The latest
achievement shows that a man now
adays may have metal bones, rubber
throat, stomach and intestines rabbit
skin, wire nose, glass eyes, false ears,
wig and made-up complexion, and
still not only live, but go about and
attend to business. Wonderful in
deed, is the advancement Of surgical
science! But, for all that, men with
all their organs intact continue to die
Of no greater ailment than a stomach
ache.

Moisture in a room in winter saves
fuel. This tip is not given by the coal
dealers, but has been published in the
weekly bulletins of the health depart

too. Scientific tests, moreover, have
amply proved that percentage of
moisture of about so with tempera.

RIGHT THOUGHT BARS OLD AGE.

CheerfulneSS.
Bitter memories of Sinful life
which has gone all wrong make prem

Success, and make ones life sapless
and uninteresting.
We grow old because we do not
know enough to keep young, just az
we become sick and diseased because
we do not know enough to keep well.
Sickness is result of ignorance and
wrong thinking The time will come
when man will no more harbor
thoughts that will make him sick or
weak than he would think of putting
his hands into fire. No man can be
sick if he always has right thoughts
and takes ordinary care of his body.
If he will think only youthful thou ghts.
he can maintain his youth far beyond
the usual period.
If you would "be young when DID,

periences; let the other drop into.
oblivion.
1t is said that long livers are great
hopers." If you keep your hope bright
in spite of diScoura gements. and meet
all difficulties with a cheerful face, it
will be very difficult for age to trace
it's burrows on your brow. There is
longevity in cheerfulness.

1t is preposterous to pretend, as has
been done in certain quarters, that
transactions which involve the solven-
cy Of banks are nobody's business but
that of the persons to whom loans are
made and the officials who jeopardize
the deposits Of their clients and the
welfare Of the communities in which
they live. Everybody is interested, and
has a right to act accordingly, when
Lealings of mysterious and question
able nature involve the security and
strength of banking institutions. Pub
licity, when shady financial deals are
in progress, is like the use Of the sur
geon's knife, which may cause immedi-

manded to prevent the spread of gan

LIFE ON THE "DOGGER."
Peri1s of Trawling in the North Sea-
Boats Built for Work.

Fer1ls or crawling IN the North Sea-
Boats Built for Work.
The lives of the fishermen of the
North Sea are full of hardship and
peril, says London Answers. They
have always dangers enough to face
without the added terror of lombard
ment from panic-stricken Russian cow
ards.
For years past the ever-hungry sea
has taken on an average one British
fisherman each working day. The an
nual toll of lives is close upon 300, and
sometimes in great gale hundreds
will be drowned in a few hours.
But when one remembers that
through all the terrible storms that
sweep our coasts these brave men are
out in their small vessels, it becomes
obvious that but for their marvellous
skill and hardihood the loss of lives
would be even greater.
There are only three fleets Of Eng
fish trawlers-the "Gamecock" fleet,
which was fired upon by the Russians;
the "Great Northern" fleet and the
"Red Cross" Each fleet is composed
Of 30 steam trawlers-boats 105 feet
long, manned by nine hands and cost
ing $4,000. All these boats hail from
Hull, and work on the Dogger Bank, in
the middle Of the North Sea.
There are, Of course, hundreds more
English trawlers and our men scour
the seas from the Spanish coast to
Iceland in search of fish; but all the
other boats work single handed, and
bring home their own catches. These
three fleets work together, each under
an admiral, who orders wnere and how
they shall fish, ana they are attended
by steam carriers, who bring their
catches back to the ports every day.
"These trawlers are built for work,
not for comfort, and 1 have seen great
seas sweeping over them in the most
bitter weather" says Dr. Willway, the
superintendent of the Mission to Deep
Sea Fishermen.
1.-THE great beam of their trawling
net is nearly half as long as the boat,
and when they haul it up in rough
weather, with tons Of fish in the great
net attached to it, their boats are alb
solutely at the mercy of the waves.
The men work for hours waist deep in
water, their hands are numbed and cut
handling the fish, and heaving boats
throw them down, and our doctors
have many cases Of broken limbs to
attend to. They work, with hardly any
intermission, through snow and sleet
through frost and storm"
One Of the most dangerous duties OF
the trawlers is the carrying Of their
fish, in boxes containing about eighty
pounds, from their own vessels to the
carriers. With the sea running noun.
tains high, their small rowing boats
carry heavy cargoes, and transferring
these heavy boxes from the tossing
boats to the carriers is terrible work
Should wet box slip from the hands
Of man on the carrier, it may fall
on the boatmen below with disastrous
results. There is mission ship, with
a doctor on board, attached to each
fleet, and the doctors are always busy
A few months ago one Of them, while
| getting out of small boat into g
trawler, where there was a man whose
broken thigh wanted setting, had his
finger nipped off between the boat and
| the side Of the trawler.
