THRILLING NEWS.
How the Discovery Of Ether Excited
the Medical World.

the Medical World.
1t is difficult at this day to re-
alize what the excitement must have
been both in the world at large and
among the medical profession on
the discovery of ether. The late
Sir Benjamin Richardson in his
"Vita Medica" gives an account of
the commotion which prevailed in
the medical college at Glasgow
when the news reached the physi-
clans of the city.
According to custom, large
class was seated in the college thea
ter, waiting for the midday lecture,
The professor, DR.. Moses Buchanan,
was always scrupulously punctual,
but minute after minute went by
and he did not appear. Finally he
came, but only to say, to the stu
dents great surprise, that there
would be no lecture that day, He
had, he announced, wonderful
piece of news to tell-the fact that
method had been discovered
through which surgical operations
could be performed without pain,
II am" said he, son my way to
the Royal infrmary to take part
there In the trial Of the new system,
and by and by we shall meet to
learn II the news which has reach
ed us is really true. IL it be, this
day is red letter day in all our
lives" asszssas ->F '-'~
The announcement created the
greatest excitement, and all the stu
dents trooped off at once to the
Royal iniirmary. There Professor
Andrew Buchanan, who was to per-
form the operation, stepped forward
and repeated the news which had
eame from the Massachusetts, hos
pitai and described the process SO
far as he knew it. Fhe patient was
then sent for, and he came in quite
smilingly. Father proud of being the
first man IN Scotland to enjoy the
honor and good fortune Of being
cut without pain.
The usual programme followed.
He laughed, wept and went through
the gamut of emotions produced by
ether, but ha finally sank to sleep,
and the operation was brilliantly
performed. --..----.-.-AeA...

THE SILENT OPINION.
What Men Think Of Women and Wo-
men of Men.

What Men Think Of Women and Wo-
men of Men.
Most men have some silent opin-
ions about women and most wom-
en- about men. There are certain
types of face, certain kinds of man
ner, certain methods of expression
even, for which many men and wo-
men are utterly condemned in the
minds of some of their brothers and
sisters. A disposition to dislike Ger
tain types of face is at times SO
strong as to suggest previous ex-
istence.
We do not openly say that all
women with such and such eye
brows are hard hearted OF that a
man must be charlatan if the col
or of his eyes and hair contradict
each other. But we act continually
upon notions hardly less unreason-
able. Educated men with small yO-
cabularies, for instance, are divided,
as rule, by clever women into
fools by birth and self made fools,
according to whether their want of
equipment be ascribed to nature or
to affection.
To the first they are Indifferent.
To the latter they have almost al
ways more or less active dislike.
Such men are often able, fact
their own sex invariably recognize.
The man whose words are few and
i'll chosen may be man of prompt
and reasoned action, who, having
been brought up among the silent
wise or the garrulous silly, depre-
Gates the waste of pains occasioned
by the game of talk. All mental
athletics bore him just as physical
athletics bore others.
In the same way the fact that a
man pretends to know no more
words than savage may be mat
ter of awkward though genuine hu-
mility-a fear of pretending to
culture he does not possess-or an
act of superficial conformity to q
passing fashion among small set.
1t may have no more to do with his,
real mind than an ugly OF an ill cut
coat. Circumstances viii some
times convince even clever woman
OF these facts so far as given man
IS concerned, hut she will never
alter her silent opinion as to the
generality,
Clever women are very hard ON
the men they imagine to be fools.
Able men, on the other hand, are
not at all hard on women they
know to be stupid. Where youth
and beauty are concerned the fact
is easily understood. But youth and
beauty by no means explain the
whole of this phenomenon. Many
men are inclined to think that the
kind of mental power in women
which we colloquially call brains
exists in inverse ratio to their com
mon sense and serves only To- carry
them with fatiguine rapidity
through verbal fallacies TO false
conclusion.-Lon1oA Spectator.
