The Bottle at Ship Launches.

which some high parsonage went on

he drank, naming the ship, and poured
a libation on the quarter deck. The
cup was then generally given to the
doclSyard master shipwright as me-
mento. When did the present usage
of naming and baptizing ship before
she is sent afoat come in? l trace the
last explicit mention of the old method
to 1864, when the Royal Katherine was

Hunor ons Philosophy
By DUNCAN N. SMITH
AN IMPATIENT PATRIOT.

Willie is waiting for Fourth of July,
Counting the days to a fraction,
When he can listen to nothing but noise
And get his savings in action,
Carefully counting and adding thereto
All of the coins in his pocket,
Wondering If when the crackers are
bought
Some will be left for a rocket.
Willie is willing to patiently work;
Labor to him is a pleasure.
Any old job on the list will suffice
If it will add to his treasure.
Fireworks are not expensive; but, then,
If he could get satisfaction
He must have money enough so he may
Make it Wholesale transaction
Persons much older and somewhat sedate
Are not in much of hurry.
They do not see. if the time drags along.
Any occasion for worry.
They have had since they We're kids years
ago,
Fourth of July every season.
He has had less than dozen of them.
That may be part of the reason.
Willie is waiting Ills all he can do.
Time like sluggard is creeping
Even with pleasures like that in advance
Still the old pace it is keeping.
Everything eliminates with that event,
Day of rejoicing and powder.
Just one Improvement that he could sug-
gest-
Make it little bit louder.

Baltimore, May 2.--When DR.. Harry
Gross made an incision into Harry
Boehms side at the Franklin Square
hospital to perform an operation for
appendicitis he discovered TO his dis
may that there was no appendix there.
The case had been diagnosed as APP
pendicitis, requiring an immediate
operation. Several other assistant
physicians were called in and they, too,
were surprised After the operation
DR.. Gross said.
The case OF Mr.. Boehm was a very
unusual one. In my opinion the APP
pendix was obliterated by previous in
ILLUMINATION. All we found was grain
of corn ia the region wher the appen-
dix Is located. It was surroundel by
inflamed tissues and had evidently
been in there for years" Q
Mrs. S. IL. Boehm, mother OF Harry
Boehm, when seen, said her son was
evidently suffering from pain inst as
before the operation.
Il told the. doctors from the start
that my son did not have appendici-
tis,p said Mrs. Boehm between sobs.

an abscess on his liver and told them
so before the operation. rhey SO
