There Was No Applause.

Just before the operation began the operating surgeon said to the students, "Now, gentlemen. no applause, if you please"
 When he was cdnvalescing the pa- tient declared that that warning re- mained his most vivid impression of the ordeal.
 T wondered then how any human being could have the heart to applaud nn act that had brought another face to face with death, but later I under stood. On account of heart trouble they did not dare administer an anaes- thetic. so. was conscious of every thing, and in spite of the pain re- alized that the surgeon was doing a mighty skillful piece of work. No wonder the students wanted to ap- plaud. They were justified in 1t.
 Some years ago they would have clapped the house down afser an ex- hibition of that kind an old hospital attendant told me, but nowadays doc tors discourage any such demonstra- tion.' "-New York Sun.i

Origin of Budget"

It is difficult to realize that the term budget" now so often in ev- cry ones mouth, is term less than 200 years old, the earliest mention of the word dating no further back than 1733. We borrowed it from the old French language-bougette, meaning small bag, in which in former times it was the custom to put the estimates of receipts and expenditures when presented to parliament; hence the chancellor of the exchequer, in making his an- nual statement, was formerly said to open his budget. Tn time the term passed from the receptacle to the contents, and, curiously, this new signifcation was returned from England to France, where it was first used in an official manner in the early part of the nineteenth century.-London Chronicle.

"Do as Rome poes.U

The saying Do as Rome does'' originated with St Ambrose in the fourth century. It arose from di- yersity of the observance of Saturday. The Milanese made it feast, the Ro- mans fast. St. Ambrose, being ask ed what should be done in such a case, replied: Tn matters of little con sequence it is better to be guided by the general usage. When I am at Milan I do not fast on Saturday, but when am at Rome do as they do in RQme.' -------------

ESPERANTISTS TO MEET.
Local Society Will Hear of DR..
Reeds Appointment.

The monthly meeting OF the Washing

Chamber Of Commerce rooms tomorrow
(Tuesday) evening at o'clock. and not

the announcements to be made is the ap-
pointment Of DIR. E. c. Reed, secretary Of
the national society, associate general
secretary OF the Esperanto Society of the
World. and his designation to act as full
general secretary as far as American af-
fairs are concerned.
With regard to stir created recently
by reported attempt to force Dr. Reed
doctor said today:
'None OF the members of the local
branch OF the Esperanto Society who have
participated in the movement against me
has ever been distinguished for his labors
In the cause. Their activity heretofore
has been confined to offering advice on
various matters, which they followed with
an i told you SO IL things went wrong. l
cannot imagine why they should hold me
to blame for their imaginary troubles,
but If they expect me to resign for their
benefit they are mistaken. I am ma
tional officer and ann responsible for my
actions only to the national executive
committee. AS mater of fact, believe
that majority of the members of the
local association are behind me, and that
/ am justified in disregarding these
charges after a consideration of their
source
