A Novel Surgical Device,

In cases of stricture of the esopha- gus, which is the canal through which food passes to the stomach and which is situated behind the windpipe, it is important to secure an early diagnosis. Popular Mechanics magazine tells of a new method, reported by q New York hospital physician, which gives a clear outline of malignant strictures and is also a readily applied aid in the treat ment of moderate cases. A small length of sausage skin, which is the fibrous coat of the intestine of the hog, is thoroughly washed and treated with fOrmaldehyde and glycerin, then formed into a bag by tying one end with silk floss, the other end being slipped over a rubber tube and tied. The bag, which is now only string, is then easily swallowed by the patient with the aid of a little water, and a thick bismuth mixture is allowed to flow into it, after which X-ray pictures show the outline of the structure clearly.

PURITAN WAS EARLY RISER
eetting-Up Bell Rang at Five o'clock in Morning in Boston Two
 Hundred Years Ago.

The nine-OclOck bell in the evening was an early observance by the Mas sachusetts colony of the old English curfew bell. says the Boston Tran script. It was rung in Boston previous to 1850 by the town bell ringer, who later also had charge of the town clock A century ago three bells were rung in BOstOn-at eight in the morning, one in the afternoon and nine in the eve ming. Two hundred years ago the hours were five in the morning, eleven in the morning and nine at night. At that date the inhabitants were not So prompt in rising as in the previous century, when the bell was rung at 1 80 by the first bell ringer.
 The midday bell was not first runa to call people to their monday meal in Boston. In 1864. flor the more con venient and expeditions dispatch of Merchants, assayers or any ether re- lating to strangers and our inhabitants. it is ordered that the bell shall be runge att Ii of ye clOcke every work ing day to give notis thereof to all per sons concerned and that the ringer shall be allowed 12p. per peare by every person that commonly resort thereuntO and that they may assemble in the Rome under the TOwne house, for the space of one hover for the ends above expressed"
 About 1730 the practice of ringing a bell at one was begun, though for some years later requests were made for an eleven o'clock bell at some of the churches, and that practice continued in the last half of the eighteenth cen tury. During that century bells were rung between eight and nine in the morning on the day of a town meeting. On days of rejoicing the bells were rung from six to seven in the morning till noon, and from two to six in the afternoon. The allowances by the town to seXtOns for daily ringing were, for one ringing f1O, for two E20 and for three e30 per annum.
 The Civil war did more to abolish the observance of Saturday night as the beginning of Sunday, and finished the falling away of the previous 20 years. To the war must also be credit ed the abandonment of New England farms, started by the more frequent in tercourse between town and country by railroads.

A CompIete Education.

By heritage, by breeding, by educa- tiOn, by inclination, by profession, l was literary. Seven generations of my family had been college bred. Many of the literary men of the first half of the nineteenth century had been enter tained by my family; and those who remembered the happy experience had always encouraged me to emulate, if possible, the lives of Agassiz, Holmes, LOngfellOw and Hawthorne. In the university I was one of the few un- usual creatures who delighted to delve (fOr the pure love of it) into old poems and ancient plays. My face was almost as familiar a feature of the library as was the marble bust of Homer there. The college authorities made me the editor of two publications; my class mates indicated by their choice that they believed I could write a class poem. True. I had never visited Bos- ton, but about the time of my gradU- alton q third cousin of mine from the far South spent a few days in the Hub, so l felt that in some subtle way my education had been completed-Atlan- tic.

Out of Her Line.

Among her presents was a large bow of goldfish. Now it happened that hel literary tastes were well known, and there was little in the world of litera- ture from the AnabasiS to Zwingli with which she was not thoroughly famil- iar-but goldfish-well, they were out of her line. So in order to familiarize herself with the life, habits, appetite, prejudices and idiOsyncrasies of gold fish, so as to be able to assist them in their physical and moral development, she went to a book store.
 T want q goldfish book" she told the young man who waited on her.
 A puzzled look OYerspread his cOun- tenance as he asked, "A what?"
 "A goldfish book, a goldfish book, {" she replied.
 Suddenly his face frightened as, with a lOrdly air of condescending su- periOrity, he said: "Oh, yes, I know what you want. You mean Goldsmith's works. Indianapolis News.

Undercround EeIs.

Some years ago, says a contributor to Answers, the AIessrs. Boyd sank a small hole for water on their Austra- Han farm, and struck a running stream at a depth of three feet. One evening a large eel came up in the bucket, and, a light having been obtained, the work men watched the hole. Fish in cOnsid- erable numbers were constantly dart ing across the open hole, and subse- quently several hundred eels were caught.
 It is a mystery where the fish came from and whither they were going {; they seemed always to travel in the same direction.
 Recently the present owner of the farm sank well about a mile away and found the stream at eight eet.-At nighttime, if you have a light, you can see the eels flashing by, still going with the stream in the direction of the coast. Some of the fish weigh as much as six pounds.
