Great London Surgeons Kindness.

4 poor man from the west had been
treated by his club doctor-a busy, over
worked, good-hearted fellOW-for glandu-
lar swelling in the neck. The merest
chance brought the patient to London,
and a confederation of coincidents led to
his meeting a st. ThOmas,s hospital
surgeon. You come up to the hospital,
said the latter. you've no glandular
swelling there" The poor, fellow Went
They looked him over. That suppositl-
tious glanduIar swelling was a thyroid
abscess of particularly malignant form.
The man, seemingly so healthy, was what
an insurance actuary would term ten
minutes life.
Can you come in?' they asked him.
took him in hand. This is the most
delicate of operations" he said. "WiH
you trust us?' He would. In due course,
before quite a gathering of surgical nOta-
biltles, Sir William operated. The case
was as bad as it possibly could be, and
the faintest fraction of error would have
meant certain death; but the operation
was perfect, one of those performances
of which We laymen never dream, but
which these inspired giants in life saving
at the hospitals are accomplishing every
day Of their splendid lives. Next morn
ing. before { o'clock, the patient was
gently reused from sleep. He opened his
eyes and saw the strong, kindly face of
a man beaming in delight upon him. 1t
was the GREAT and wealthy surgeon, who
had left his bed before o'clock that
bitter morning to come to see this poor,
friendless man from the Wilds of the
west. The patient is a hale man today
and in his part of the world they regard
st. ThOmas's hospital as temple Of
miracles far more awe inspiring than any
holy Well.-St. James Gazette.

He Voted.

A negro preacher Of Brooklyn tells an
interesting story of political campaigns

Springfield, O., at one time he said, a
negro could not vote, but any man who
could prove that he was two-thirds white
had the right to cast a ballot The
preacher is not Of swarthy skin nor Of
deep ebony hue.
''Some one told me- he said, 'that |
would be able to pass as two-thirds
white. In the polling place there was a
big burly Irishman who at once chal-
lenged my vote.
Judge, yer HONOR said the Irish
man, this man cannot vote as his father
was not a white man.
Are you two-thirds white?' said the
judge, addressing me.

We'll, was your father white?' asked
the Irshman.
* I don't know [ repeated.
Well did your mother ever tell Won
that your father was a white man? per

"'No,' said l. addressing the Judge.
my mother never told me that my father
was white man, but [ do remember her
telling me that he was Irish.

Wealth in Pennies.

Inez Gates, daughter of the keeper of a
small store at Rockford, H., deposited
with the Rockford National bank at one
time 11,700 pennies to start savings
account. Her father had been giving
her the excess of pennies each night for
long time and she had kept them in a
soap box, not spending or counting them.
A few days ago she conceived the idea
Of getting interest on the money, and
went to a bank to see if the pennies
would be received She was told to wrap
in packages of twenty-five and bring
them down. She spent more than a day
making up the packages and then carried
the pennies to the teller on a dray, the
mass weighing over seventy pounds.

The burbank PIumcot.

In his researches into plum life Mr..
Burbank had tried to combine a plum
and an almond to see what the result
would be. Interesting as it was from
a spectacular point Of view, it was not
Of sufficient Importance to warrant
further development, but the study led
to the consideration of the crossing of
two other species, an apricot and a
plum.
A common wild American plum, a
Japanese plum and an apricot formed
the basis Of the experiment, and in
course Of time that which scientific
men had said was an impossibility-the
making of a new fruit-lay before him
accomplished. Nothing stranger has
ever been done by him.
The apricot form and color persist
in the outside of the new fruit, but
the flesh may be crimson, yellow, pink
or pure white. The pits are sometimes
those of the apricot and sometimes
those Of the plum. Because in the tree
itself there are certain hmperfections
not yet overcome, the fruit has not
been given to the world, other work
upon It being still under way. The
flavor of the plumcot, which is the
name Of the combination, is pronounc-
ed by some superior to that Of any
similar fruit and absolutely unlike any
thing ever before tasted.-Century.

.he Pearl rn rne orster.


The supreme court at Hamburg, Ger
many. has decided who owns the pearl
in the oyster.
A young woman who was eating Oys-
ters in a restaurant found a pearl worth
$3.50. Naturally she claimed It. A
young man who had paid for the young
woman's oysters was gallant enough to
support her claim. Findings keep
ings" seems to be a rule peculiar to no
country. But the hard hearted restau-
rant keeper wanted the pearl too. So
he sued to recover it. If the chicken
bones belonged to him, why not the
oyster shells-and this particular pearl?
When the case came to trial the court
held that the disputed pearl belonged
neither to the young woman who found
it nor to the restaurant keeper who
sold the oysters. By right it went to
the young man who paid for the oys-
ters. As he had already declared that
1t belonged to his fair companion, he
was doubtless logical enough to give
it to her and she grateful enough to
take 1t and him. Romance has its re-
luirements as well as law.-New York
