Successful Mission at Centralia.

The special services at Centralia
in the Catholic church closed one
of the most successful missions ever
held in this section of the state. 1t
appears from the opinion of the
people who attended that no mis-
sion has ever made so profound an
impression and none has had such
far reaching effects as this one.
The confessions that were heard
amounted by actual count to ,6oI;
of these 1881 were adults, divided
as follows: 6Io women and 67I
men. The men exceeded the women
by over sixty. The men out-num-
bered the women in the number OF
Total Abstinence promise cards
signed. There were APT women,
and 474 men who voluntarily en-
rolled themselves under the banner
of total abstinence, making over
600 Catholic adults in the town of
Centralia who do not touch intoXi-
eating drinks in any manner. There
was another feature of the mission
and this was the organization of
Holy Name Society, as protest
against the practice of profane
swearing and in order to elevate
reverence for the Holy Name Of
God. There we're about 400 men
who indicated their intention to
become charter members of this or
ganization. These few facts speak
louder than any amount OF words.
They are the results of the mission.
The services Sunday night were the
renewal Of vows of baptism. The
baptismal font was set up on high
and reautifully decorated with
lights and Easter flowers, and after
an arpropriate sermon all the men
stood up and in voice full Of earn
estness and purpose they solemnly
protested their determination to
stand by the wolk of the mission
and keep the promises made therein.

A Defense of the Surgeon
The Popular DeIusion That Leads to
Aany Deaths.

In recent lecture at the Harv-
ard Medical School DR.. Maurice H.
Richardson set forth the absolute
need of resortiag to the knife in
certain cases. The idea that the
surgeon lacks sensibility and is more
or less Indifferent to human suffer
ing and may even perform an opera
ton when not absolutely necessary
he declared to be all wrong. He
said that the contrary was shown
by the fact that the surgeon in con-
stantly laboring to make his pro-
fession unnecessary, by preventing
the recurrence OF the diseases for
which he oper ties, as well as by
endeavorlng to cure without resort
ing to operation "A popular de-
lusion that the surgeon is simply
looking for an opportunity to keep
busy a the time" DR. Richardson
added, "results in thousands and
thousands of deaths of sufferers
who are persuaded by friends not to
submit to operation, until it is too
late to save the patient"

The secret in growing May
hatched chickens is to feed well,
provide some shade in the runs, and
see that the chicks get some green
food.
The first thing that should be
done after removing the pretty,
downy chicks and their mother from
the nests, is to destroy with fire the
old filling in that nest.
If the chicks are not growing,
something is sure to be wrong with
