A Remarkable Operation.

One of the most remarkable
cases ever treated at the Willis
Eye Hospital is that of William
Heritage, one of whose eyes had
been cut i'll two by a piece of
glass, resulting in the destruc-
tion of its power Of vision, and
who has had the use of the or
gan almost completely restored
by an operation which included
the sewing together of the cor
nea-the outer portion of the
eye which resembles glass-with
five silk threads.
Heritage, who is 20 years old,
was employed as grinder of glass
"stoppers' at the GlassborO
works when the accident occurr-
ed.
The iris had been cut through
penetrating the cornea, the lac
Grafton extending down three
quarters of an inch into the
ciliary. A part of the sitreous
fluid was also lost, and the lower
lid of the eye was cut for five
eighths of an inch.

Religious Rumor.

The Salesiau fathers and Bene.
dictine missionaries report great
progress this year in upper Bra
I'll.
The ear of Russia has given
the Greek Orthodox Christians
of Boston 1000 toward erecting
a place of worship,
The papal decree with regard
to plain chant has been put into
practical effect throughout Spain,
the choirs of all the large
churches now rendering the same
according to the Solesmer re-
vision.
The full official report of the
papers, speeches and proceedings
of the church congress of the
Episcopal church, recently in
session in Brooklyn, N. Y, is be-
ing prepared by Thomas Whit
taker. The edition will be linn

BY the side of the bishop of
st. Adams, special preacher, the
other day, at the church for the
deaf and dumb, Oxford street,
London, stood curate who with
nimble fingers translated the
sermon, sentence by sentence,
into the deaf and dumb alphabet.
A spiritual awakening is being
experienced in Christiania, Nor
way, worthy to be compared with
that in Wales. The young evan
gelist, Albert Lunde, who has
been working until recently
among the Morse and Danish
people III various parts OF this
country, has found the people of
Norway ripe for an awakening.
The growth of Professionalism in
France during the last century is
prophetic of larger progress when
the separation between church
and state is completed. In loo
years Protestant church build.
ings have increased from 50 to
1900; pastors from 1870 to nearly
1000, besides 200 evangelists
while more than 100 religious
societies and charities have
sprung up and 65 periodicals arc

Hello!

At the present time the aver
age business firm gets a large
per cent Of its entire business
over the telephone. 1t is fire.
quently the case that the duty
of answering the telephone is
given to some subordinate in the
Office who is not interested in the
business, and generally cares
very little whether sale is
made. AS long as the telephone
holds such an important place in
business, the business man who
is not giving careful attention to
this feature, is losing trade that
someone else will get. To make
a successful telephone salesman,
more tact is required than to
make a successful personal sales
man.
Have your telephone answered
so that people will feel You W ere
glad they rang you up. 1t they
give you an order, thank them
for it, and if they do not, thank
them for making the inquiry.
Above all things, answer your
'phone calls promptly; nothing
will put persons at the other endof
the line in a worse humor than to
wait an unreasonable length OF
time before they geta response
to their call. The best plan is
for the dealer to answer the
'phone himself, unless he hap,
pens to have a grouchy DISPOSE
ton, and then he had better hire
some one to answer the phone
who possesses the neccessar,
qualifications.

A Mountain of Soft Ceal.

The largest stock of soft coal
to be found in this country,
aside from storage heaps at one
or two of the large western mines
is owned by the New York Edison
Company, at Shadyside, on the
Hudson. Persons walking on
Riverside Drive stop and gaze
across the river wondering what
the huge black pile is.
The Edison company has 160,-
600 tons of coal stored in this
yard, which covers as much
ground as eight city blocks. If
there was a big coal strike the
supply would last the company
nearly a year. A high fence
surrounds the big coal pile, which
is guarded by armed watchmen
day and night. The yard is
about 300 yards back from the
pier, where the coal is landed in
barges. An endless chain of
bags conveys the coal from the
barges to the yard, so arranged
that their contents are distribut-
ed automatically and evenly
over the yard, and not dumped
in one place to be distributed by
Showers, The coal plant is said
to represent an investment OF

Half His Shirt.

They had finished the parish
tea, and the curate stood up to
say a few words to the recipients
before they dispersed. He spoke
in eloquent terms of the i'm
pecuniosity of curates in general
and then went on to say in ap-
parently touching tones, "Why,
even as | stand before you now
| have only half a shirt to my
back.n A few days later the
reverend gentleman received a
parcel containing half a dozen
new shirts, accompanied by u
card bearing the name of his fair
parishioners. At the earliest op-
portunity he called upon the lady
and thanked her for her gift and
then proceeded to ask what had
prompted the kind action.
"Why," she replied, "you told
us the other night that you only
had half a shirt to your back"
"True," answered he, "but the
other half was in front"

Gravestone Alarm Clock.

The Indians of Pala, in the
foothills of the Coast range in
the southern part of the state of
California, were converted to the
Catholic faith by the Jesuit
Fathers, who founded mission
among them. Though some su-
perstitions prevail their belief in
the resurrection is strong, says
the American Inventor.
Believing that the dead must
remain for sometime in the
gray e, they observe exactly the
hour at which the spirit departs,
! and the rude wooden cross over
each grave in the cemetery states
| the exact hour, minute and day
on which the person died. Sus-
pended from the arms of one o.
the crosses is all alarm clock, Will
the hands set at 6 81. The alarm
at the back of the clock has beer
| set at the same moment. The
person who placed the clock there
believes that at the proper mo
ment the alarm will sound an(
will awaken the sleeping spirit
Another alarm clock that ono
hung from the cross above it
| has fallen down and now lies il
q damaged condition on tn
ground. Bottles, lamps, pitcher
and other pieces of crockery an,
glassware are also seen on tn
graves. The cemetery is at Agu
Caliente or Warm Spring.

Most work is uncongenial, and
the great majority of men and
women think they would be hap
pier in some other place. To
almost everyone the day of choice
comes. What career? What
shall my life's work be? If in
st'nct and heart ask for carpen-
try be carpenter; if for medi-
cine, be a physician. With a
firm choice and earnest work, a
young man or woman cannot
help but succeed. But if there
be no instinct, OF it it be weak
or faint, one should choose eau
tiously along the line of his best
adaptibility or opportunity. No
one need doubt that the world
has use for him, but great honor
and fortune are not for all. True
success lies in acting we'll your
part, and this everyone can do.
Better be a first rate hod. carrier
than a second rate anything.

Frsnehman's Sliding Boat.

The fact that o stone can skim
the water If its fiat surface
strikes squarely has recently
been put in practice in the con-
struction of sliding boat by a
French inventor, NJ. de Lambert.
The friction which is present
when the de Lambert boat slides
over the water is very slight, and
the power which is necessary in
order to make the boat glide is
not high. When the boat is at
rest it is supported by floats, says
the American inventor.
The boat constructed by M. de
Lambert has total length of 20
feet, with a width of ten feet
between the inclined planes up
on which it slides. The boat has
parallel floats resembling certain
Asiatic canoes. The two floats
are very narrow and are united
by crosspieces, partly of wood
and partly of aluminium, a metal
which has been used to large
extent in the construction of the
boat because of its slight weight.
The motor used lisa IL horse
power, but the essential parts of
the boat are fixed sliding planes,
adjusted under the boat at care
fully regulated distances from
each other. These planes, which
are made of wood, are immersed
to a depth of several centimeters
when the boat is at rest, and
they are inclined at an angle
which has been decided upon af-
ter wide experimentation. The
total weight of the boat is about
| 200 pounds, but in order to
move this weight 1t requires a
motor of only 12 horse power,
while in the case Of automobile
boats the motors required are go,
so and even 100 horse power.
M. Belief says that M. de Lam
bert's boat has been timed by
official chronometers, and that
the results have been surprising.
When the motor is started the
boat commences to move with
the planes still submerged, cut.
ting the water horizontally. But
this lasts only a short time; the
planes show an instantaneous
tendency to rise, and they are
practically on the water at the
end Of few meters. Then the
speed quickly increases because
of the immense diminution in
resistance, and soon the boat is
sliding on the water or more
exactly, on q layer Of air resting
between the planes and the
water, at a speed Of IA, Is or 20
miles an hour.

What.a ridiculous exhibition a
great truck horse would make on
the race track; yet this is no
more incogruous than the popu-
lar idea that law, medicine, and
theology are the desirable pro-
LESSONS. How ridiculous, too,
for fifty-two per cent of our
American college graduates to
study law How many young
men become poor clergymen by
trying to initiate their fathers,
who were good ones; or poor
doctors and lawyers for the same
reason. The country is full of
men who are out of place, eds
appointed, soured, ruined, out of
office, out of money, out of cour-
age, out at elbows, out in the
cold" The fact is nearly every
college graduate who succeeds in
the true sense of the word, pre-.
pares himself in school, but
makes himself after he is gradu-
ated. The best thing his teach
ers have taught him is how t.
study. The moment he is be
yond the college walls he ceases
to use books and helps which dc
not feed him, AMI seizes upon
that do.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
UNCLE TOMS CHAT,

Not many years ago a fail
young lady was wooed and wor
by handsome young man of one
our middle Tennessee counties
Every one thought and believed
it was u splendid match. AL
went well for a year or more
when John, for so | will call him
began to neglect the handsome
woman he called wife. From
neglect he began to add drink
and was often seen to stagger un.
der its influence. Friends inter.
ested themselves and expostulat
ed with him for his course of con
duct, telling him he had beau
tiful wife and child. John
would say, | know it and | love
them, but not another word
would he say. All of us knew
he was troubled about something
but what it was none could say.
In the same community there was
one of the wisest and best old
women | ever knew. She be-
came interested in John and
Fannie, so she made visit to
Johns home. He was away as
she expected, After Fannie's
greeting and few common
place remarks she asked whe re
John was. The wife says don't
know and don't much care aud
proceeded to tell how he had
done and how he was neglecting
her. The old lady sat and lis
tened patiently. After Fannie
had told all the old lady says,
Fannie do you talk this way to
John?"
eyes / do" says Fannie.
''Now Fannie | want to ask you
a few questions. When John
was away from home longer than
you wished him to be, when he
did come what did you say and
do?n
Said Fannie, 81 gave him a
piece of my mind"
You did, eh, and you have con-
tinued to do SOP
"Yes.n
"Fannie," said the old lady,
edo you love John?"
eyes ] used to, but he treats me
so bad | can hardly stand it.
"Well, show do you reckon
John feels toward you for your
scolding and quarreling at him?h
81 don't know"
81 suppose you don't care. "
Well Fannie really did care
but too stubborn to acknowledge
it. Finally the old lady told her
that John had always acknowl-
edged he loved her but no one
has been able to get him to tell
the reason of his conduct, and !
guess Fannie | am the only one
who knows and then she gave
Fannie lecture ON the art OF
building a home. Fannie follow.
ed the old lady's advice and
am glad to say there is not q
more pleasant home in Tennes
sec. His friends were astonish
ed at Johns reformation. John
and his wife keeps their owl
! secrets but Aunt Jane fathomed
the trouble and caused peace
Now perhaps there may be some
"Doubting Thomases," if there
are | guess Fannie could tel
these unhappy women something
useful; and a few good old Aun
James are needed in every com
munity to make peace and stol
divorce proceedings. In short
Fannie was more to blame thar
