A Worthy Creed.

Selected.
If any little word OF ours
Can make one life the brighter;
If any little song OF ours
Can make one heart the lighter;
God help us speak that little word,
Ard take our bit Of singing,
And drop 1t in some lonely vale,
To set the echoes ringing.
If any little love of ours
Can make one life the sweeter;
If any little care of ours
Can make one step the Il eter;
II any little help may ease
The buiden of another;
God give us love and care aud strength
To help along each other.
If any watchtui thought of ours
Can make some work the stronger
II any CHEEKY smile OF ours
Can make its brightness longer
Then let us epeak that thought to-day
With tender eyes a-glowlng,
So God may grant the weary one
Shall reap from our glad sowing.

Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

That awesome bundle Of potential
mysteries we call the body Is made the
subject, in the March McCLURE's, of
an absorbing article on modern surgery
by Samuel HOPKINS Adams. This
writer owns the happy faculty of see-
ing a thing "by the large" of grasp
ing the essential facts and telling them
vividly, with dramatic force. He re-
duces technicalities to their lowest
terms, and makes surgical process as
interesting and as compelling as a tale
of war. The triumpbs OF this most
modern OF sciences are elucidated in
the language of everyday. Here is
the story of the gastric ulcer, an all
ment as serious when cured as In the
vlrulent stage, for as he explains, in
healing it causes a contraction OF the
stomach's wall, narrowing that organ s
exit to the point of uselessness. "In
serious cases the method OF treatment
has been to cut out the ulcer or scar
a complicated and dangerous resource
because OF the proximity to the solar
plexus, which Gas everyone knows,
since Mr.. Fitzsimmons operated upon
Mr.. Corbett at Carson City, for the re-
moval OF q championship belD is a
nerve center highly susceptible to
shock.
"several years ago German surgeon,
named Wolfler, contrived an operation
which is nothing more nor less than q
skiIlful plumbing device. He cut a
hole in the stomach in front OF the
ulcer, clipped of the smaller intestine,
and spliced the two together, leaving
the ulcer to take care Of itself. This
process short-circulted the food route.
The ulcer relieved of irritation from
the passing over of food, soon healed ;
the resultant contraction didn't matter
because the old exit was now out OF
commission, and the system OF plumb
ing properly took its place among
recognized useful operations"
