WEAK CAN BEAR PAIN BEST
Physical Power Net Always Best in
Severe Operations, Declares
Famous Surgeon.

DR.. ]. P. Lockart Mummery, the IA
nous British surgeon, says it is often
extremely difficult to estimate the con-
dition of a patient with regard to his
power of standing a severe operation.
Often a weakly looking individual. who
looks as IL he would not stand a severe
operation well, stands it quite well, and
vice versa
This is accounted for by the fact
that a person Of poor physique who
leads a strenuous life has often much
more highly developed nerve centers
than one Of robust physique who leads
a life of ease and Incidence, which
makes but slight calls upon his nerve
centers for great or sudden activity.
The mental condition of a patient
prior to operation has a considerable
influence upon the development Of
shock. Patients who dread an opera
ton and who are in a state Of consid-
cradle mental anxiety before the an
aesthetic is administered are more liza
BILE, other things being equal, to devel-
op shock than those whose mental
equilibrium Ii undisturbed.

TIE IN BRITISH COMMONS
An Unusual Occurrence in This Famous
Body-Has Happened Three
Times in a Century.

London journalists were reminded of
an interesting bit Of political history
by a recent incident at the British
house of commons. A division in the
house upon a question relating to Lon
don street railways resulted in tie
III members on each side. Thereupon
the speaker gave the casting vote in
the negative. A tie in the house Of
commons is unusual, for this was the
first time in many years that one had
occurred. The last important division
previously that called for the vote Of
the speaker took place in 1861. But
just a century ago. in April, 1905, a
resolution aimed at Lord Melville, q
leading member of the cabinet, re-
ceive PIC votes, and an equal number
was given in opposition. The speaker
gave the casting vote in favor Of the
resolution. In consequence of this vote,
Lord Melville was impeached the next
year, 1906. He was accused of appro-
priating public funds. but was finally
acquitted. He was a great friend Of
Mr.. Pitt, the prime minister, who did
his utmost to prote6 him, and who
was greatly grieved at the vote Of the
speaker.

Color Treatment of Disease.

In long experimenting with grass So
lutions, an English biologist has no
ticed that putrefaction does not occur
in strong red or blue light, is only sim
ulated in clear yellow, but really takes
place In dirty yellow light or in dark
ness. He has also seen that workers
behind dirty yellow screens are subject
to skin eruptions- This has suggested
to him the novel idea Of color treat
ment Of disease, dirty yellow Of the
skin being assumed to indicate q de-
generation Of the yellow fluids Of the
body-the bile, etc.-and to require q
yellow restorative, ike dandelion, lem
on or sulphur, while lack Of healthful
redness shows the need Of q red tonic
and massage with q red stone. Blue IL
needed for black blood" congestion,
chills and to destroy mold fungus.

On last Sunday, July 2, being the
second Sunday after Trinity, there
were two celebrations. of the Blessed
Sacrament. 1t also being the Feast
of the Visitation of the Blessed Wiz
gin Mary, a name very dear to all
Catholics, the color Of the vestments
Of priest and the altar hangings are
green. 1t is a fact worth mentioning
that many of the religious bodies
that used to point the finger at the
Catholic Church for using the Prayer
Book Service are now trying to adopt
the same, also trying to use the same
vestments. Would it not be better
to come over and get the real thing?
Our blessed Lord only established one
church, and that nearly two thousand
years ago.

A FEW FASHION NOTES.
Soft Kid Waistcoats Remain in Fa-
vor and Velvet Collars and
Cuffs Again Return.

In making plaits Of any kind for trim
ming, the fact should be borne in mind
that it is good policy to leave the bast-
ings in the plaits until the garment is
entirely finished. Many home dress
makers are in too big hurry to take
out basting threads. In buying ready
made box plated or plated skirt,
it will be noticed that when il
reaches home the garment still
has the plaits stitched down
with hastings. and that ought TO
be hint enough to induce the amateur
to leave her hastings in place till she is
almost ready to wear the garment. OF
course. this does not apply in the case OF
hastings for seams or hens. but Just for
those which are put to hold certain
things in place and which can just as
well remain in the garment till such
time as it is completed. Plaits in waists
especially sleeves, can be left in, though
the temptation is strong in the amateur
to remove them and ''see how il looks
But the exercise Of little patience in
this respect means added comeliness tC
the completed garment
The soft kid waistcOat is as popular
as ever. 1t is generally made double
breasted. and cut away to take in a
chemisette of plated muslin and Valen-
ciennes lace, or one of coarse lace and
perhaps a rolled collar of some colored
velvet. A touch of velvet is always q
welcome finish to a cloth frock. and on
a plain sleeve buttoning tightly down tc
the wrist We often note a small, turned
back cuff Of velvet to match the rolled
collar Of velvet at the neck of the habit
bodice.
The changes that have been made in
tailor mades are not so great as those
that have been made in other branches
OF dress, because for some time past the
pioneers in the sartorial world have de-
termined that the tailor made frock
should be plain in cut, with sleeves OF
small, neat dimensions, and the note
OF elaboration is struck by braidings and
similar trimmings.

sAY BRIDE cLINos TO VEIL
Artists Declare Newly Married Wom-
an Loves Her Costume and
Always Wears It.

Artists say that only on rare occa-
sions will q bride take her veil from
her head and lay it aside when she Is
photographed. They assert that prob
ably once In a hundred times will such
a thing happen, for they want the veil
to show up prominently in the photo
graph.
H. w. Mills, Of Wheaton, Ill, says q
bride and groom came into his studio
the other day, and he was surprised TO
see the bride remOSe her veil and.
with the flowers she carried, arrange II
on a table. Then she drew the table
close beside her and told the artist she
was ready.
Nothing will tempt q bride to part
with a veil that she has once had pho
tographed as a part Of her wedding
dress. In Du Page county, Illinois, q
singular custom regarding the preser-
walton Of the veil prevails. A large
box-like frame is constructed and
cabinet portrait is placed in the center
of the background. Then the veil Is
neatly arranged around the picture,
and the outer edge of the frame is en-
twined with artificial flowers to repre-
sent the ones that the bride held or
wore when she was married.
Such frames adorn hundreds Of walls
In Du Page county farms and other
homes. A wedding frame will occupy
one part Of the wall. and another frame
will hold the silver nameplate that has
been taken from the comm Of some
member of the family Of either the
groom or bride.

will be many happy experiences during
the present summer. One favorite pas
time for the president and his four
boys is to go on to the woods or
along the bay shore, away from any
sign Of human habitation, and have a
genuine camping-out party. Simple
provisions are taken along, End these,
with the fish they take from the bay,

dent instructs his boys how to build
camps, make camp fires and cook. The
latter he has to do himself II q bite
properly prepared is to be had. He
knows all about camp cooking, and can
broil steak or ish TO a turn. His
boys declare that no white house cook
can approach their father in the prep
aration Of a dinner
At Sagmore Hill the president has
all sorts Of callers. II is his home,
and he delights in having men from
all walks Of life call to see him there.
The most dignifed statesman and
learned lnancier Is apt to sit down to
the table In the Roosevelt home with
the cowboy from the west or an &C.
centric genius from anywhere. The
president pays no attention to the out
ward appearance Of his guests, and the
flannel shirt is just as welcome IS the
dinner coat.

During the South African war the
censorship Of soldiers letters home
was very strict. One soldier, who al
way sent an account Of the doings Of
the regiment, which account was al
ways blotted out by the censor, laid Q
plan for revenge. At the foot Of his
next letter he wrote: Look under the
stamp" The censor did so, after
spending considerable time in steam
ing the stamp from the envelope. And
he found these words: WAS It hard

Strange It is that the colored peo-

are and how important it is that they

ice as newspapers only can give than
do the colored people; and yet, per

with more contempt. How easy 4

in the interest of the race If the peo-
pie could only appreciate the fact.

residence he will meet such men as
Senator Aldrich, Senator Burrows, Sen

others who are admittedly experts on
this question, and will confer with
them upon the tariff. Between his
