FROM the WIDE w ORD Magazine.
In Spanish speaking countries young
women are allowed but little of the
liberty that they enjoy in lands where
English is the native tongue. They
rarely meet young men at social enter
tainments, and are never permitted to
converse with them except In the pres
ence of older people. They do. of
course contrive To carry on 1lirtations
but chiefly with the eyes. In every
town In Spanish speaking country
there Is a plaza where band plays
one or two evenings of the week
The young men and women congregate
there, the former walking round and
round in one direction and the latter
in the opposite direction. Thus they
are constantly meeting and making
eyes at each other, but they do not pair
off or sit down on the benches to-
gether When ii young man wants to
pay his attentions to girl, he must
get notes struggled to her or play the
beal"-that is, stand under the win
dow of her room and try to attract her
attention, either serenading her with
some musical instrument, or. If he has
no gift that way, by simply waiting
patiently until she chances to look out
| and cast him an encouraging glance
In Spite however, Of all difficulties AND
obstacles, Cupid contrives to find &
way, and young people fall In love anc
marry just us in lands where etiquette
is less strict and opportunities for tete-
la-tete conversations more frequent.

A Quarter Century Of Appendicitis.

The dinner which his appendicitis pa
tients are to give to a Philadelphia. sur
geon is not essentially novels appendicitis
clubs exist in various cities. What makes
the event remarkable Is that there are
expected to be present fully 100 guests
whom the surgeon In question has person
ally relieved of this Intestinal encum-
brance. That this Is the record OF sin
gle physician bears witness to the extra
ordinary vogue of one of the most popular
medical fads of the century.
The first typical operation for appendi-
ctis appears to have been performed In
New York in 1856. In the following year
at Philadelphia occurred the first recorded
removal of the appendix as precaution-
airy measure. Appendicitis surgery is thus
less than a quarter OF Il century old and
distinctly American in its origin and de-
velopment. The professional standing of
the surgeons whose names were associ-
ated with the early operations. among
them Dr. W. T. Bull and Dr. Charles Nc
Burrey, and the prominence of the first
patients gave a wide impetus to the sur
gical treatment of the disease. How many
tens of thousands of appendices We're sac
ritfced to science during the decade from
1890 to 1900 is Il subject for curious specu-
lation The first flush of appendicitis sur
gerry has long since passed The knife
is now less often resorted to. having given
way to medical and hygienc treatment
I one regrettabe feature of the scare is
| the survival of Il popular fear of grapes
! raisns, figs and other seed fruits as a
predisposing cause of Inflammation of the
| appendix. The foolishness of this view is
! shown by the fact that of LOCO cases
treated at Johns Hopkins hospital only
| four revealed the presence of foreign
bodies Far more conducive to appendi-
1 cits than food substances are violent ex-
| ertion bruises, exposure to cold and d.
