She was lying upon the lounge at

her side with hand in hers.
How could the little f1ve-year.old

derstand that the words meant some
thing bad for her sick mamma.
At. bedtime the nurse found her
leaning out Of an open window, with
the rain beating against her little
face. When spoken TO she held up
her hand as signal for silence, and
then after a moment allowed the win

not learn why she was so quiet.
The next morning she burst into
Mrs. Flitner's room.

Dear little Cricket. yonr love and

Scarless Surgery.

Scarless surgery is numbered among
the most recent achievements in medi.
cal science. 1t is explained that in
making the first incislon the scalpel
does not cut the skin at right angles
with the surface, but passes through
1t at a slant. After the operation is
performed a rigid dressing of wool
and glass is applied to prevent con.
traction and as much pressure Is
brought to bear on the wound as is
safe. According to foreign advices,

idea and successfully put 1t in prac-
tice Is unable to meet the demands
