AFTER 81 OPERATIONS
WOMAN STILL CHEERFUL
MRS. JOSEPH VITAL, OF YONk-
ERS, NJ. ", SAYS SHE HAS NO
FEAR OF SURGEONS KNIFE OR
OF DEATH

YONKERS, N. V, Feb. 16.-Mrs.
Rosalie Vital, one of the most active
workers among the poor in this city,
will undergo her ninety-eighth opera
ton, which will be her seventeenth
major operation, in few days. And
yet she is one of the most cheerful
persons in Yonkers.
The first operation, for appendicitis,
was performed in New Orleans nine
years ago. 1t resulted in a dozen or
more diseases which also required
surgical operations.
Since her husband. the late Rev.
Joseph Vital moved to Yonkers seven
years ago, Mrs. Vita1 mas been under
the care of Dr. William G. cambridge,
of New York. Not two months have
elapsed in that time in which he has
not performed at least one operation
upon her, and through his study of
her case he has become noted as an
authority upon laparotomy.
81 am not at all afraid of the knife, y
said Mrs. Vital today. but the only
trouble now is in finding place to
make an incision where one has not
been made before Therefore, it is
very difficult to get the mending
stitches to hold.
81 never have any fear OF death
when / enter the operating room.
Most persons avoid operations through
fear of death, and most of those who
die while or after being operated upon
had an intense fear they would die.

The History of Other Countries.

1t is not at all the history of ou-
own country which is all-important,
overshadowing all the rest, not the his
tory of the times nearest to our own,
says Frederic Harrison. If his
tory be the continuous biography of
the human race, it may we'll
be that the history of remoter times,
which have the least resemblance to
our own, may often be the more valu-
able to US. as correcting national pref
udices and the narrow ideas bred in
US by daily custom The his
tory of other races, and of different
customs, may be of all things the best
to correct our vanities, and
our conventional prejudices. We have
indeed to know the history of our own
country, OF the latter ages. But the
danger is, tnat We may know little
