There was story told of one of the worlds great vocalists singing as a young girl at a private house. Sue was overwhelmed with praise. By and by says the London News, she came and sat by an elderly lady. who ccngratu lated her on the way she had sang, but ventured to offer one or two suggca tions. The young singer treated the hints with scorn and afterward asked the hostess who the old lady" was who had dared to give her suggestions ''Oh, that was Mme Goldschmi;it, re- piled the lady. And who is Mnle. Goldschmldt?" was the next impatient query. Well. she's better kHown as Jenny Lind." said the hostess.

ELECTRICITY PROVES
A ODEL ANAESTHETIC

Paris. JanI3-That electricity will
supercede all other agents as an
anaesthetic is claimed bp eminent sci
cntists
Prof. lie Luc, of Nantes, has in
vented peculiar process for apply
ing electric currents to animals which
induces electric sleep, which he be-
Eeves, may ndwantageously replace
ether and chloroform for anaesthetic
purposes.
Those who witnessed his expert
ments describe the results as marvel
lous. The animal can be maintained
in an electric sleep for hours at a
time, while sensibility can be restore
at once by merely stopping the cur
rent. It seems also to be unattend-

the best anaestnetics, causing no nau-
