Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken ont and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced: pipes take
the place of diseased sections OF veins;
anuseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and Ike injur-
les before inflammation sets IN. which
causes them TO heal without matura-
tiou and in one-third the time required
by the old treatment. ChamberIain's
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
II is an antiseptic and when applied
10 such injuries. causes them 10 heal
very qzickly. Il also allays the pain
and soreness. Keep q bottle OF Pain
Balm in your home and it VIII save

such injuries entail. For sale by all

The Acrobutic Gibbon.

A great ape which makes its home
In Borneo is the gibbon, which is a
small animal compared with the orang,
weighing only about forty or fifty
pounds 1t is very frall in its bodily
makeup. The head is set squarely on
the shoulders, and it looks upward.
When walking on the ground 1t bal
ances itself along like a walker on a
tight rope. Its remarkable power Of
grasp and deXterity In using Its hands
are equally with the shape of its
Uranium indexes of its superior lntelll-
gence, perhaps because 1t is able to
take hold of greater number Of
things and examine them. The gibbons
go in droves, whereas orangs live by
families, and one of the most interest
ing spectacles imaginable is to see Il
troop of them crossing great gap in
the forest by throwing themselves in
succession through the air, each one
taking swing or two to gather mo-
mentum before launching himself. So
great is their agility that in executing
feats of this sort they seem like birds.

Looking one In the Eyes.

There is a venerable specimen OF
proverbial philosophy which says that
the man who cannot look you in the
face is dishonest No other saying has
received greater currency. 1t strikes
the popular mind with automatic force,
and yet II is not a reliable test Of char
acter. Every confidence man who sue
ceeds in his calling has the steady gaze
of the immaculate person. No person
who is skilled in the fine art Of decep-
ton fails to take an obvious precaution
10 impress his dupes, On the other
hand, many persons Of unqueStionable
integrity are put out of countenance'
by mere shynesS. So morbidly was this
trait developed in the case of Haw-
thorne, in his earlier years at least, that
he would so out of his way to avoid
meeting these who desired to converse
with him. 1t would be impossible for
such a man to cash forged check, to
borrow money from a bank on bogus
collateral.

SNAKE. Arc Creot Fn,ter,.

Snakes, though at times they gorge
themselves, are great fasters. In the
French museum an anaconda twenty
feet long was very small feeder,
though he gained in weight. Taken
there in 1885, he had only thirty-four
meals during the next five years, con-
sisting of a small goat or a few rab-
bits. The interval between these meals
varied from twenty-three to 204 days.
He would not touch food unless he was
in real need of 1t, and it was only by
watching him and noticing when he
seemed to be uneasy that his keepers
could conclude that he was hungry.
During the long fast, which was in
1886, many strenuous efforts were
made to tempt or force him to eat with
out the least success.

Mrs. McJarvis agreed, and within
a few hours the dinner was well under

Later In the day she visited the

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
May Attempt a Fusion With Inde-

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 16.-The
democratic state convention met here
in adjourned session in the Lyceum
theater at noon, for the purpose Of
nominating a candidate for the su-

called the convention to order and ex-
planned the object Of the meeting.
After the usual committees had been
appointed the convention took a re-
cess.
There is a strong sentiment in favor
OF endorsing John Stewart, the re-
publican nominee for the supreme
court, 70 follow the fusion with the
Independent republicans OF the state
IN favor Of william II. Berry. on the
democratic ticket for state treasurer.
An effort was made to induce the
democratic state central committee to
endorse Stewart, tut Chairman Hall
ruled out the proposition. AS there is
no other candidate OF Importance in
the field, the candidacy Of Stewart
will probably be endorsed by the con-
vention.

Reams Of advice are unloaded upon
woman telling. instructing and admon-
ishing her how TO make home pleasant,
so that the lord and master may find
comfort therein. SO, then, why should
not some advice be given to the said
lord and master? For verify there is
more than one of them who make
home mighty unpleasant There is the
man who does not realize that it takes
money to make home pleasant. There
is the man who does not realize that
his wife needs recreation and outside
amusement once in awhile, so that she
can continue to make home pleasant
There is the man who does not realize
that silence and grumpiness and a
crouch now and then do not make
home pleasant. There is the man who
does not realize that children must be
noisy sometimes and play and romp if
home is to be pleasant to them.-A
