Modern Surgical Ritual.

The scene at an operating table in one of our hospitals now would make one of the old masters of surgery stare. The operator himself and all his staff are dressed like the old holy priests of Solomons Temple, wearing white caps and gowns, with the nurses standing around like priestesses all in spotless white, while everyone about the table has gone through as many ablutions as befits the occasion of a bloody sacrifice under the auspices of the immaculate Goddess of Cleanli- ness A minute and elaborate ritual has been observed of sterilizing every thing towels, threads, needles. for ceps, instruments, and what not, while the floor itself is made Of glass or glazed tiles, rather than of wood The surgeon himself does not venture to cut the victim till he has put on his sterilized gloves, because he cannot possibly clean his own fingers enough Should any onlooker take his hand out of his pocket to reach for the gap- ing wound. he would be elected in- stanter for spelling the whole per formance with his dehling touch Everybody's Magazine.

PARsON LOOKED, BUT IN VAIN.
His Heart Grieved Over Fashionable
 FoIies of His Wife.

A typical parson of long ago, the sternly consistent man who sounded consciences regardless of conse- quences, figures in a recent book of "reminiscences, "Old Schuylkill Tales" by Mrs. Ella Zerbey Elliott
 PaTson M, one of the early minis ters of Pottsville, Pa, was never more earnestly eloquent than when preach ing against the love of dress. His wife, Mrs. M., who was a handsome woman, nevertheless wore very elabo- rate gowns, and openly avowed her in- terest in such frivolities. The parson expostulated against this love of dress in private, but although she was an excellent wife. and obedient to his wishes in other respects. she pursued her own way in silk and lace.
 One Sunday morning the minister preached sermon on humility, and bore down upon the vanities of dress most powerfully. At the conclusion he leaned over the high board of the pulpit. his face pale and determined.
 You may think he said to his congregation, when I preach against the love of dress and the sin of it that I ought to look at home I want to tell you, dear friends, that do look, and look until my heart aches. - Youths Companion.

NOT FITTED FOR STREET CAR.
Large Hat Made Trouble for Others
 ts Besides the Conductor.


 T wish you would stop hitting my hat!" snapped the girl in tho end seat of an open car to the con ductor
 T can't help 1t, miss" replied the conductor. Your hat is in the way. It Is interfering with my work, that's what. Every time I have to walk past you on this footboard to collect fare your hat spreads out like ean umbrella and I have to run against It."
 e"Well If you do 1t again, will take your number and report you at the office!Y said the girl wrathfully.
 YAH right" answered the wrathful conductor; report as soon as you please You women ain't got no busi- ness to ride in cars with umbrellas on your heads ..-a "a ...
 At this point little woman sitting next the girl with the exaggerated head gear joined in the discussion.
 T must enter my protest against your hat" said she quietly, "and re quest you to keep it off the top of my hat. It is crushing my feather. l quite agree with the conductor that women with hats two yards and a half in circumference have no busi- ness on street cars"
 And the girl said nothing.-N. Y Press

A Woman Famine There.

In the Slavic colonies in this coun- try" says Emily Greene Balch in Char ities and the Commons. there is a great excess of unmarried men. and, since those of each national group sell dom marry outside 1t, wives are much in demand. Consequently a girl very generally marries on her arrival in America or as soon as she Is old enough, or else works a few years and then marries.
 Women have. indeed. not only a scarcity value as wives, but consider able economic importance. The man who is so fortunate as to be married can take boarders and lodgers from among his own countrymen and thus perhaps double the family income. be- sides gaining in social importance as boarding boss -,~s.-.ss

Cold Bedrooms Mako Rosy Cheeks.

A beauty doctor. pausing to change the roller in an electrical massage ma chine, said with a sigh:
 Tt is true, madam, that my art brings to your cheek transient flush and bloom, but I can do nothing for you. really, till you stop sleeping in an overloaded bedroom. Won't you change to cold room?
 The secret of the English complex ion is not the moist climate. We have districts as moist as a wet sponge, and in them our women go about with faces like old leather No, the Eng lish secret is the cold bedroom In England, with the open fires, heated bedroom is unknown.
 There they sleep all night, under heavy blankets, with open windows. the body warm, the head cool, the lungs inhaling the pure. cold. winter air As a result, they awake in the morning with shining eyes and cheeks like roses
 The beauty doctor turned on the current and began to iron out an eye wrinkle
 "So should we awake" she said. If we removed the radiators from our bedrooms. And then our skins would no longer be dry, opaque and yellow, but a clear pink like the petal of a rose

COMPLAINS OF SHORT HAPPENS.
Seven Inches Not Long Enough for
 Modern Millinery.

If l were a hatpin manufacturer, !" said the girl fretfully, as she jabbed tiercely at hat big enough for three girls, I'd consult the milliners before l made up the seasons supply of pins How in the world do they suppose we can make these mammoth hats stay on our heads if we only have these tiny things to fasten them with?" And she held up pin about seven inches long. Might just as well try to keep them on with a common pin. You stick this hatpin in one side of your hat and 1t doesn't come out at all It just stays with it's point imbedded in your hair somewhere, and your hat wobbles every step you take. It's no use using three or four pins If they won't reach clear across your hat. They'll just meet in the center and get all tangled up with one another. I've spent all the morning on hunt for a hatpin long enough to be of any use at all, and there's none in the market So suppose my nerves will be worn to frazzle this winter stabbing and jabbing with these baby hatpins in an endeavor to make them of some use. and I'll look like a fright with my hat bobbing all over my head"

Commissioned officers in the British army are supposed to wear uniform only when in barracks or on duty An officer on furlough. and when not en- gagged in military duty, is supposed to wear civilian clothes or multi. There Is no hard and fast rule laid down by the military authorities, but the unwritten law of good form, as upheld by the officers themselves, makes it imperative on all members. when attending private functions or otherwise engaged in non-military pursuits, to wear civilian clothes.

EFFEcr OF MUSIC ON MORALS.
English Composer Says Emotional
 Trash Causes Harm. o

A disciple of Tolstoi's theory that music may affect the morals has come forward in England in the person of Sir Walter Parratt. He has practically proposed a censorship of music which In the face of the growing bitterness against the dramatic censorship cer tainly shows him to be daring if somewhat misguided person.
 When one considers the style of bal lad overwhelmingly popular in London to-day, with Its. trashy, reminiscent melody and it's everlasting refrain of the wounded heart pierced by Cupid s dart" or "the little bird which sings. sings, sings, "-their name Is legion one can't help but feel there is method in Sir Walters madness.
 He emphatically denounces senti- mental, weak and washy music as really wicked.
 There is very pressing need" he says, flor the wedding out of the many so-called musical compositions on the market today. Many are written in sentimental vein which Is most objectionable and deteriorating in tendency,
 Even in our present-day hymn books there are many tunes which we could well do without.
 T should not like 1t to be thought that object to all forms of emotional music. There is a certain kind of 'emotionalism' of which am an ad- mirer; the other kind I would do any thing in my power to suppress"
