POOR NAME FOR DOCTOR.

"Down in the little town of Frank lin in the southern part of this state," remarked a guest at local hotel, q saw on a sign in front of his office the name of a doctor Eho must have had an unusual share of human courage to take up the medical profession without changing his name.
 "Just listen to the mortuary cog nomen of the doctor: 'Dr. H. J. Death'-that's the name that ap- peared on the plate at the front of his house, I suppose a man can't help his name, but it must take a whole lot of courage to start out to be a physician handicapped by such a name" ."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SURGEONS NOW USE SCREWS
Fractured Parts of the Human Anato- my Held Together Much as
 In Carpenter Work.

Screws are now being used by surgeons to hold together fractured parts of the human anatomy. These screws, ranging in size from a quar- ter of an inch to three inches, are silver plated. When these are placed to hold a fracture they must remain in the patient for life, but the limb can be used very soon after the oper- ation, and there is no future danger that the bones will become displaced. A species of twin tacks is also recom- mended in ''bone carpentry"-two tacks united at the head, which is used to bridge a fracture and IS simply hammered home.
 Thanks to the latest form of anes- thesia, which leaves the patient con- scious, but incapable of feeling pain, a strong nerved Cease" could dis passionately watch these new points in surgery as illustrated on his own limbs. The new anesthesia IS due to the discovery of novocain. When injected directly into the spinal cord complete paralysis and senseless- ness ensue. Even now patients can and do talk or read while they are being deprived of limbs, a screen over the leg or part operated upon being all that is necessary.-The Pathfinder.

He pulled out the map and showed her the route of their pros- pective elopement.
 "And where is the place you have marked with a white starr" she asked innocently.
 "That is Cleveland. There we write home for forgiveness"
 "And the red star, George?"
 Niagara Falls. There we write home for money to get back with" Which shows that he was far seeing young man.

WOMEN DAIRY INSPECTORS.

The last office to be created for women in New Zealand is that of dairy inspector. There are now 54O,O0O dairy COWS in New Zealand, producing more than 52,000,0O0 pounds of butter a year, besides 500 private dairies and S9 cheese fac tories. T..a department of agricul- ture appointed women inspectors to visit the dairies and factories and give instruction and advice to the wives and daughters of the dairy men.

Mr. Newrieh's Visiting Card Left
Friend In the Shade.

Mi. Newrich, the dust contractor,
having made fortune, part of which
be had invested in house property in
the east of London, wished to rise,
like Phoenix, from his ashes into
some sort of society. His golden key,
applied tc. the Golfers of an impecuni.
GUS aristorcrat, opened the way.
His new friend, among other things,
advised him that visiting cards were a
necessity, and, as guide to drawing
one up ready for the printer, handed
him one of his own, which read, "Har-
old De We're, Iona House, Portsmouth

Two days later as De We're was sit.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its CON-

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-

Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark

That is one of many, reasons why

AT GETTYSBURG

How soon the first fierce rain of death,
In big drops dancing on the trees,
Withers the foliage.-At a BREATH
Hot as the blast that dried old seas,
The clover falls like drops of blood
From mortal hurts. and stains the sod:
The wheat is clipped, but the ripe grain,
Here long ungarnered shall remain;
And many who at the drums long roll
Sprung to the charge and swelled the
cheer
And set their flags high on the knoll.
Ne'er knew how went the fight fought
here:
For them knell tumultuous shells
Shook from the consecrated bclls.
AS here they formed that silent rank,
Whose glorious star at twilight sank.
And night which lulls all discords-night,
Which stills the folds and vocal wood,
And, with the touch of finger light,
Quiets the pink-lipped brooks wild mood,
Which sends the wind to seek the latch,
And seals young eyes while mothers
watch
Night stays the battle, but with day
Their lives, themselves, foes hurl away,
Shall be to-morrow's battlefield.
Ere dying died or dead were cold.
New hosts pressed on the lines to hold,
And held them-hold them now in sleep,
While stars and sentinels go around,
And war-worn chargers shrink like sheep
Beside their riders on the ground.
