TOO FOND OF OPERATIONS.
Surgeons Of the Work. Criticised by a
New Zealand Brother.

A New Zealand surgeon has started
a discussion of modern operative
methods in surgery which has awak-
ened great wrath in the hoc.rps of
specialists. They resent, bitterly, this
surgeon s suggestion. offered with true
fTaternaI courtesy, that operations,
such as that for appendicitis. are of.
ten performed just to be adding.
For instance attention is called to
the removal of the appendix every
tine when an abdominal operation
makes it easily accessible. To this a
London specialist makes the tart re-
ply that abdominal operations may
be likened to the art of burglary. The
risk is in entering the house. That
safely achieved, the wise burglar is
not satisfied with two spoons. but
takes all the family plate"
This similitude has been caught up
again by the opposition and carried on
into the subject of fees. 1t is strong
ly intimated that the surgical ideal is
a hollow shell with all the organs re.
moved by operation and the pockets
inside out.

CARE OF A RAZOR.
Its Occasional Real Need is the Rest
Cure--Steei Gets Tired.

The average man who shaves him
self doesn't know how TO take care
of his razor despite all the advice
that has been given to him in the
public prints from time TO time" says
G A, Helglass. expert barber
''fie will get a good razor and use
it day after day, then wonder why at
the end Of q short time it loses Its
edge even though he strops it most
carefully. A razor needs brief inter
walls of rest or it viii grow dull, no
matter what efforts are made TO keep
il sharp. II you have q good razor
and it appears TO be losing its edge,
just try a rest for it, instead Of
having it sharpened up again. The
chances are that when you put it
into use again, at the expiration of
three or four days, it will prove as
sharp as if it had been carefully
honed

remain If a retired officer accepts active duty
(Which hitherto has seldom been given him at sea-
and then not positions OF great responsibility he
receives full pay.
1t is necessary to state these facts in advance
to prevent far may be the continuance of the
public misconception concerning retirement-name-
ly that it is return to civil life-an which
seems to be working against relief from the
dtions which this article seeks to explain. Briefly
therefore, retirement, or even enforced retirement
for age, does not involve withdrawal or dismissal
from the navy, does not necessarily even involve
dscontinuance of active work in it, unless the
individual so desires, and indeed if he be Civil
War veteran he gains by retirement since he is
Immediately promoted to the next higher grade.
The object of age retirement at sxty-two 1.-TWO
years earlier than prevails the army to pro-
vide for flow of promotion and thus to insure
far may be that officers shall reach the places
of most responsibility when their physical and
mental powers at the best. That particular
age, sixty-two, established shortly after the
beginning of the Civil War, prior to which we had
regular retirement system. and it represents the
general of opinion then existing in the
vice to the best period for the REIMBURSEMENT of
active work. Some years previously we had got
into much the trouble we in now. Having
then no way of disposing of old officers they had
accumulated and filled the lists Not merely in
1855 there still in active service who
had been midshipmen in the War of 1872, like
Farragut and Goldsborough, but men who had been
captains and heading the latter still remained
Charles Stewart, the victorious commander of the
Constitution in her fight with the Cyane and
LeVant.
1t is important now to recall the precedent which
Congress then made. 1t cut the Gordian knot of
the difficulty by summarily removing half of the
captains one-third of the commanders and even
one-ffth of the lieutenants-all the grades then
existing. twenty-five of these men it dropped
from the navy altogether, and it put the remainder
reserved list " and relieved them from active
duty. The juniors at once rose into their places,
and the personnel thus organized continued
until the advent of the Civil War.
All this, it is true, was in the days of the old
navy: which nevertheless continued for nearly
twenty years longer during which time the steam
frigates supplied with full sail power and
captains of all steam vessels were prohibited from
