The Enallshman Spoke.

In q second class railway carriage
going from Lausanne to Paris, once
passed a night Of conflict. On my side
were a Swiss who spoke English and
an Englishman who didn't speak. Oul
opponents were two members Of n Lat
In race. They wanted the windows
shut We wanted ut least one window
open. Our common cause drew the
three Of US together. At first the Eng
lishman's expression had seemed te
wonder whether the Swiss and the
American were quite worthy to prefer
fresh dir. AS the night wore on this
expression waned, and thought ! de-
tectcd truce Of sympathy in the
glances he sparingly aimed at US.
In answer to my question the Swiss
explained his mastery Of the English
language by saying he had learned
without teacher. just by sitting near
an open window In tub Of cold wa
ter. At this the Englishman almost
spoke. Morning came. He filed his
pipe and began to hunt through his
pockets for matches. The Swiss offer.
ed him a box. Thank you," he said
gravely; ~ prefer my own." and went

Cojors Of the OPAL.

In Judging an opal color IS Of the
greatest importance. Red fire or red
In combination with yellow, blue and

quite valueless. and the green opal Is
not Of great value unless the color Is
very vivid and the pattern very good.
The color must be true-that Is to say,
1t must not run In streaks or patches.
alternating with cOlorless or inferior

as pin fire" when the grain Is very
small, harlequin when the color Is In

why Early Cancer Is Durable.

There Ii still widespread misappre.
hension. that cancer 10 constitutional
disease caused by some substance or pol.
son In the blood. Those who hold this
mistaken opinion commonly believe that
the disease is hereditary, and 10 . vague
way they think there must be some faint
handed down from one generation to an
other which causes cancer to flourish In
certain families. In the minds OF people
not we'll informed on the subject this be.
lief may we'll cause q feeling that 1t IL
somehow shameful to have the disease.
Such Misrepresentation, combined with
the notion which has long prevailed
that cancer 10 . hopeless, incurable
affection, and that Il 10 Of no use to try
to have anything done for 1t, may we'll
account for the extraordinary delay OF
many sufferers In seeking treatment. A
further cause 10 the fact that cancer, In
the early stages, often causes little or no
pain. Many q surgeon has wished that
cancer, In Its early manifestations, might
cause the sufferer half a. much trouble
a. q toothache, for then the patient
would surely be driven to seek relief 80
quickly that he or she would be easily
cured.
That cancer is at frat q local growth
and no, general disease OF the system
is now clearly established. This fact 10
of the utmost importance, since 1t holds
out high hope Of cure II the malignant
growth is removed before 1t has time to
spread to other parts of the body. Can
Ger beginning In one spot later appears
elsew here, because small particles or
cells are carried away from the first site
and start other growths, not because
there ext sts previously some poison In
the blood which causes the disease to
break out in different parts Of the body.
The great hope of cure, therefore, lies 10
removing cancer entirely from the sys.
tenn before 1t has chance to spread
from its first foothOld,
The reason why so many people came
to believe that cancer was blood dis
ease is doubtless because 1t was observ-
ed to come again in tue same or other
parts of the body after having been ap
parently cut out. 1t was natural to as
sumo that when the disease kept coming
back in this manner there must be some
cause or faint in the blood which led to
its breaking out in different places much
tlko CoEtotu uioO0oOos oO tsoeSAS
which started this fallacious reasoning
| was that In those earlier days cancer
was not so we'll understood as 1t now is.
Surgeons then did the best they knew
how, but without the advantages OF
modern methods they were unable sue
cessfully to exterminate the disease.
The microscope has now shown US the
paths by which cancer cells start their
invasion If the body II the first and focal
appearance ia neglected. Modern sur.
geons are, therefore, repeatedly success
full in removing the disease once for all.
Al an eminent American doctor has we'll
said, at is not surgery, but delayed sur
gerry that fails to cure"
