WORLD FEARS SUFFERING.
Are More Afraid of Pain
Than Ever.

The incident of physician with dis
located shoulder going from one doctor
to another to get it set without an an
aesthetic and finally securing the heroic
treatment at Bellevue is to-day so much
out of the ordinary that it secures liberal
space in the newspapers. The fact that
a painful operation was performed with
out chloroform or ether, says the New
York Tribune, is itself thought worthy
of notice. The refusal of several physi-
clans so to perform it is eloquent of the
state of surgical practice.
Now and then in some doctors office
or medical museum we see case of in
struments which seem better fitted for
the carpenters bench or the butchers
block than for the surgeons table.
There are knives as large as carvers for
cutting through quivering and sensitive
flesh with free sweep and swift stroke,
as if it were dead meat, and great saws
for severing human bones like firewood.
The sight of them is enough to make
one glad not to have lived in the old
days. 1t is much more comfortable to
that anaesthesia was the greatest bless
ing of the nineteenth century to hui
manity, the threat of an amputation
with these old instruments is likely to
change his opinion. Out of the football
field men now and then get joints dislo-
Gated and stoically have them set with
out ether and rush back into the scram-
BILE. Battle and accident and disease
still infiict untold suffering under cir
cumstances which no anodyne can dead
en-. But in ordinary life, for the most
part we have become so accustomed TO
relief from physical pain in surgical
practice that the deliberate preference
for endurance rather than oblivion ex-
cites interest and remark. Yet only a
few years ago such endurance was a
matter of course. To-day many people
even to save their lives, would not face
the pain Of old-time practice, so much
have habit and the knowledge of sur
gical luxury affected us. Just as it is
| impossible for him who has grown into
the life of ease and self-indulgence to
take up the regime of early days, when
| he worked with his hands and lived on
hard fare, so it is impossible for most OF
us to face pain as our fathers and moth
ers did.
Some students of the Chinese tell us
that their remarkable endurance of pain
is not as much stoicism as lack of SEN
sitiveness. They do not feel pain as the
Caucasian does. If that be true, it is
easy to believe in great variations not
merely in self-control, but in sensory
responsiveness. Perhaps our people.
besides being less habituated to the
| endurance of pain as a matter of course,
are also more sensitive to it. not only
mentally. but physically. The modern
nervous tension and quick responsive
! ness may lay upon the hero of to-day a
vastly greater burden than was borne
under the same suffering by the man
of an earlier time, who was not braver
or more self-contained or more the mas
ter of his own soul. but whose physical
being did not vibrate with anything
like the same intensity under external
impulse.

MANEUVERING OF WARSHIPS
In Time of Peace Is of as Much I'M
portance as Target
Practice.

Toward the end of December each
year we read in the public prints that
the fleet has been reviewed by the Sec
retary of the navy or some other Off
Ger high in command, and that it has
departed for the Caribbean for the
winter maneuvers. Usually nothing
more is heard of the fleet, says the
American Review of Reviews, until
about April 1, when it arrives off Pen
sacola for target practice. 1t is not
strange, then, that the public has but
a hazy idea of the relation of these
winter cruises to the preparedness and
efficiency of our navy.
The maneuvering of ship is of an
Importance on a par with accuracy of
gunfire A ship that can make hit
with almost every shot but is badly
handled may be-nay, often is-more
dangerous to its friends than to it's
enemies; and ship that can make but
few hits is almost useless, however
we'll it may be maneuvered. Thus, it
will be seen that a ships fighting
value is equally dependent upon it's
handling and the accuracy of it's gun
fire, and hence the months of hard
work devoted to ship and fleet ma
neuvers and target practice.

and flesh of their flesh? And who can
depict the hopelessness and detection
that hover about the home where the
wife is incapable of becoming mother?
Barrenness proceeds from some derange-
ment of the distinctly feminine organs.
Many of the common ailments known as
"fena1e troubles" cause it. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription overcomes barren
ness by stamping out diseases of women,
and by healing and curing liberation. It
tones up the system, stops drains, and
restores strength. During CESSATION it
modiies morning sickness, gives elastic
ity to the overstrained parts concerned,
makes the hour of baby's coming short
and almost painless, and gives wonderful
recuperative power to the patient. By
making the mother strong and cheerful,
it makes the little one healthy, vigorous
and good natured. Insist upon the med
icine dealer giving you DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription when you ask for it.
Substitutes are often dangerous.

justice to give the enclosed letter pub

the fact that Officer Slayton served a

every charge upon the face Of that war
rant was such as was not borne out by
the facts in the case. In the first place,
did not flourish a loaded revolver in
this Beelman's face, as / can prove BY
unquestioned testimony that I had no
revolver in my possession at the time
mentioned which, by the way, was
Feb. 18th. not March the first as stated
