celebrated surgeon:
Il studied under DR.. Sem when he
was professor Of surgery at Rush Med
zeal College. | remember how, one
day. he asked me a question that l did
noe know, and in order to hide my igno-

DIR. Sem smiled.
"He said | reminded him of a school
boy. who, taking q written examination
in history, came to the question:
".Which was the greater general
Caesar or Hannibal?'
THE boy answered this question as
follows:
"If we consider who Caesar and
Hannibal were, and ask ourselves
which of them was the greater, we
must unhesitatingly answer in the
Affirmative.

k-Rakine the Old Patriots.

| In a paper before the New England
! Genealogical Society the other day
John Henry Stark, whose name some
| how hes sort of a patriotic SOUND IN
view of Revolutionary memories, took
occasion to say some very unkind
| things about several of the eminent
Bostonians who figured most promi-
nertly in the war for independence. For
| instance. he declared that John Han
cock was The greatest smugsler OF h!$
| time and that as treasurer of Harvard
college he stole the funds of the instl-
tuition which, however, it recovered lat
er from his estate. AT the time of the
| Revolution said Mr.. Stark, John
Hancock was under Indictment for
| smuggling operations involving over
half a million dollars And this
charge is made against the old patriot
whose bold signature. standing hrst
among those attached to the Declara-
ton of Independence, is 50 familiar to
every American school boy,
Not content with upsettinS this idol
Mr.. Stark took a fall out of that very
eminent Bostonian of colonial times
Samuel Adams. Samuel Adams" he
said, ..as tax collector of the city Of
Boston, defaulted and his bOndsmcn
were sued by a vote Of the town. JudG-
nent was rendered in this case for
$4,000. The city of Boston recently
paid Sl6S for the documents, which are
signed in Adams own handwriting.
This document is now in the city
clerks office at city hall"
Having muckraked the memory of
these and other famous patriots OF
those days, Mr. Stark went on to de-
clare that the Loyalsts represented
the best class of people at the time Of
The Anne an Revolution. They We're
he said, tie class Of educated and
wealthy people whose prominence in
affairs and whose rich estate: made
them enVied by their neiehborS. There
fore. when they opposed the idea Of
independence the patriot leaders We're
prompt to contiscate their estates and
drive them from the country" Mr.
Stark went 50 far as to declare that
selfish and mercenary motives caused
most of the leaders of the American
Revolution 20 take part in that StruS-
GLE
Of course we do not know j;ist how
much historical foundation Mr.. Stark
had to rest his paper upon. put il IS
very safe to assume that he Will not
change American history as it has been
written non cause in any degree the
people of this country to revise their
cherished ideas regarding the Ameri-
cans of the Revolutionary period, thoae
who were leaders in the patriot cause
and those who opposed the war Tor
independence and We're in consequence
compelled to leave the country. There
We're probably bad men and good men
in both oi those groups of Americans,
and Mr. stark mas taken too big Il con-
tract when he tries 10 demonstrate that
the patriot leaders were a set of selfish
ana diShonC st ScoundrelS and that tn"
type.

Little Of Everythin J
Clean Watches with Bread.

Perhaps the most novel use to which
bread is put may he seen in the great
watch factories at Elgin, ILL.,, where
more than forty loaves of fresh bread
are required each day. Superintendent
George e. Hunter of the watch factory
is quoted as saying: prom the earliest
times in the history of matchmaking
il has been the custom of watchmakers
to reduce fresh bread to the form of
dough. This is done by steaniing ard
kneading. They then use this dough
for removing oil and chips that natur-
ally adhere in course Of manufacture
to pieces as small as the parts of 4
watch. There are many parts of a
watch, by the way. that are SO small
as to be barely visible to the naked
eye The oil is absorbed by this dough
and the chips stick to il. and there is:
no other known substance which can
De used as Il wiper without leaving
some of its particles attached to the
thing wiped. This accounts for the con-
tinued use CT bread dough in the watch
making industry

Portland does not pose as an agricul

which is evidently carried on in a bust
ness like fashion. The receipts from
the sale of farm products in 1897
amounted to $la,11S.26 and the expendi-
lures $4115.33, leaving Il balance uf
$6042.93 to the credit of the farm The
piggery account is kept separate from
the farm and from this source hogs
were sold to the amount of S9433.S0 The
expenses of this department Including
the cost of teams, etc, for collecting of
offal amounted 10 $685.. 49, which leaves
a balance of $354n.41 to the credit OF the
farm account. The amount nette,l
from the farm and piggery for the year
was S9jS334. The year before the re-
ports show that the net income was
but S4062, but this was accounted for
by the fact that the farm was worked
