With Surgeon. 3 6 story of a surgeon go- w rming an opera- ried by the St. Peters- the "Petit scene was Chita, in Siberia, e doctor's patient was a working man whose condition ad- mitted of no delay. He was chloro- formed, two assistants had the doctor when the latter, much to their surprise, began to make irrelevant remarks. took up his bistoury, however, anu made the Toduired incision with his. usual ill and precision, his assistants being there 7 reassured. } Suddenly he burst into a laugh, saying that all their trouble was useless, adding: *It would be better if we finished him off with a stroke of the knife.' Ina flash the assist- ants realised that their chief had gone mad, and one of them placed imself between the doctor and the patient, whilst the ' other threw; himself upon the lunatic and en- deavored to wrest the knife from grasp. . With maniacal rage the doctor struggled with. his assistant, while the nurses fled from the surgery in terror. Another assistant, how- ever, with ready resource, con- tinued the operation already be- gun, and when the madman had been overpowered succesgfully completed it. The doctor has been placed in an asylum. --_-- THE BIRD CAGE DANGER. Poison Gets Into the System Through Carelessness. Bedsteads and birdcages are among the sources of plumbism-- the deadly lead poison disease--ac- cording to a report by Dr. Robert Edginton in the current 'British Medical JournaF' on the industrial diseases of Birmingham. 'In put- ting together chandeliers and gas fittings, white lead is used in the joints,"" he says, "and it is the cus- tom of the workmen to test the joints by sucking the air out of the tubes, so that in this case the lead is probably conveyed directly into the stomach." The process which figures highest (with seventeen cases in a list of eight-four 1in- stances of plumbism) is the paint- ing of metor-car and coach bodies, safes, and stoves, whose glossy, en- jamel-like surfacd exacts m heavy toll from the workers owing to the lead dust inhaled during the repeat- ed and sand-papering involved in securing a perfectly smooth surface. House painters come next, and on the same level as regards fre- quency of poisoning are the girls who smooth down the paint of bed- steads and birdcages with their hands to get an enamel-like surface. Cases of lead poisoning among tin- ners and kettle ers are ascrib- ed to the mixture of lead and tin used for the inside surface of kettles and saucepans. N.S 14 YEARS WITHOUT A ROOF. Aged Couple Prefer to Sleep Under the Stars. Living near Womenswould, a somewhat remote district of East Kent, England, are two remarkable disciples. of open-air life. One is known as "Molly," who is 80 years of age, and the other is her son "Billy," aged '60, who is a chimney sweep. ""Molly," and "Billy" are inveterate believers in fresh air, and carry their convictions so far that they will not'have a roof above their heads. For 14 years they have lived in & chalk pit however inclement the weather may have been. 'Some time ago a friend pre- sented them with a hut, thinking they would 'appreciate it.

Lesson IL The lif Ezek. 47, 1-12, Golden Toxt, Rev. 22. 17, 'Chapter '47.--This ~ chapter: be- longs to the third and last great section of the latter half of the forth a vision of the final glory and peace of the redeemed people of Israel. The preceding chapters of the section give an account of the temple buildings, and of the ordin- ances of the temple. The two clos- ing chapters, including the lesson, deal with the life-giving stream is- suing from the temple, the boun- daries of the holy land, and the dis- position of the tribes. Verse 1. Brought me back -- He had been in the outer court of the house of the Lord. There the peo- ple were accustomed to worship. Now he is conducted into the tem- ple proper again. Eaekjel, belong- ing to the priestly class, was mi- nutely familiar with everything that pertained to the temple, as an ex- amination of previous chapters will quickly show. It must be borne in mind, of course, that he is still in the land of captivity. What he de- soribes is part of a vision. Waters issued out--This figure evidently had its basis in the fact that there existed a fountain, in connection with the temple hill, from which the waters flowed into the valley east of the city and so made their way toward the sea. This stream had, before Ezekiel's time, supplied a beautiful figure to the prophets (compare Isa. 8. 6). The Orientals enlarged upon the blessings brought them by such streams of water. This passage was the basis of Rev. 22. 1-2. Right side of the house -- This would be the south. The stream pursued its course eastward, pass- ing the altar on the south side, and coming forth into the open on the right hand of the outer east gate. 2. He brought me out--As both the inner and outer east gates were closed (Ezek. 44 and 46), the pro- phet was led from the inner court by way of the north gate, round to the outer east gate, where, from the outside, he saw the stream emerge into the open at the south side of the gate. 3. The man--He is not to be iden- tified with Jehovah, but is an im- aginary being, a symbol of the re- velation of God. He has the attri- butes of God, being bright like brass (Ezek. 1. 7), and speaking with authority (Ezek. 40. 3-4). The line in his hand was of flax, and was used for measuring grecter dis- tances, as the reed was used for shorter. With it he proceeded a thousand cubits (about a third of a mile) from the point where the water emerged from the gate. At the beginning the stream barely "trickled forth" (margin to verse 2), but already it has become ankle deep. ¢ 4-5.--The .water rapidly deepens until, a mile from the temple, it has become deep enough to reach a man's loins, and, with another thousand cubits, it becomes an im- passable river, one that a man can- not pass through unless he swim. S80 God's blessings grow more and more abounding as they flow on from life to life. This is the first fact about the river of life--its full- ness. It is a picture of the new f era of restored hope and felicity in Israel. God is enthroned in' the temple, so the waters are repre- sented as issuing from the sanctu- ary. joyed in the better day will be from God, and there will be an abund- ance about them that will leave no- thing to be desired. #7 On thé orie side and on the other--The river flowed "dowa through a gorge, or valley, and, as | was usual, there were trees on ei- ther side. , This suggests freshaess and fruitfulness: The Paradise on the. first page of Scripture, as well. a8 that on the last page, had trees «on the, banks of the living streams. The righteous man is like a tree , the river. There he is perpetu, aly nourished, e palm tree of the East attains its full per fection only as itis planted by'the plante Water, ou g, Toker, wath .8..

Whose leaf shall not wither. --Compare Psalm 1, and Rev. 22. 2. The leaf is a thing of the spring- time. But, with the godly man, it has a perennial freshness. The storms and frosts of the year can- not blight it, for it draws stores of hope and promise eternally from God. Moreover, it is for healing. The sympathy of the godly man is a potion of healing for the wounds and sorrows of the world. Neither shall the fruit thereof fail.--There is a seasonable fruit- fulness, as well as an undying fresh- ness about the good man's life. The end of the good man's life, its purpose, is fruit. The freshness and beauty are a form full of pro- mise. But the tree must ever reach forth to the bearing of fruit, as it will always under the enrichment of the divine life. --% ANCIENT COINS. Jar Full of Gold and Bronze Ro- man Money Discovered. A find of gold coins was made by two workmen at. the Roman ex- cavations at Corstopitum, the old Roman city near Corbridge, Nerth- umberland, England. This season the excavations have been conducted in a new field to the west of the excavations made in former years. The coins were in a small bronze jar, and as Mr. Fost- er, the director of the works, was not present at the time, the foreman took charge of the coins. When an examination was made it was found that there was 169 gold and two bronze coins in a very good state of preservation. They ranged from the period of Nero to that of Mar- cus Aurolius. The largest number were of the Emperor Trajan, 51 in number. The ancient coins found at Black- hills, Corsock, Kirkcubrightshire, some time ago have been submitted to an expert on behalf of the crown. A number have been retained for the National Museum of Antiqui- ties and the crown propose to re- ward the finders for those kept, handing them back the remainder, All the coins are silver pennies, with the exception of a silver half- penny and a silver farthing. The pennies includes Scottish (long cross) coins of the reigns of Alex- ander III.,"John Baliol, and Ro- bert the Bruce. The Irish pennies belong to the reigns of Edward I. and II., and had been minted at Dublin and Waterford. English pennies of the same reigns wero minted in Londort, Durham, Cant- erbury, Berwick, Bristol, York and elsewhere. There are also a num- ber of foreign "sterlings,"" The halfpenny is of the reign of Edward I. and was minted at Berwick, while the farthing, minted in Lon- don, is supposed to belong to the same reign or that of Edward II. UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW On the One Priceless Treasure Which all Men Share Alike, "Stevey, my boy," said Uncle Hiram, "one man may have more talent than another or more cour- age or more money, but there is one thing that no man on earth can have any more of than you have, and that is time.
