"i» gave it up because there was too much to do. Performing big operations every morning mak"es exis- tence rather ti-jiug. I got tired of my duties; they bored mt; to death; so after six and twenty years of practice I retired." This is the way in wli^ch Sir Fred- erick Treves, the eminent surgeon, explains in an interview appearing in a Loudon journal how he came to practically give up his profession. "Not that my laboi's were break- ing me down," ho goes on to explain, "Nothing would, I think, do that. I have no nervous system, not hav- ing had need of one, and I have never had to keep to my bed." "I was invariably downstairs at 5 o'clock. I breakfasted at half-past seven, and almost without exception, there was an operation at nine. "Then, right up to one o'clock, there were patients to see. After that I went out, and having lunched in my carriage, devoted the after- noon to consultations. When did 1 get homo? At all hours. This, as I have said, was a sort, of existence of which anybody was liable to grow fired." One of Sir Frederick's personal tri'imphs was mentioned by him last week at the meeting of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society. "It is as long ago as 1887," he Said, "that I ventured to suggest that cases of recurrent appendicitis should be treated by removal of the appendix during the period of quies- cence. "My proposal was not very enthu- siastically received at the time, but of late years I have no ground for complaint on this head. "'The procedure is one of the most common of abdominal operations, find certainly oi'e of the most satis- factory. It is attended with but trilling risk and with but little dis- tress to the patient, while in the vast majority of instances it is fol- lowed by a complete and uncondi- tional cure."

He Represented His Country in AU Parts of the World. Lord DufTerjn's biography is just published in London. It is from the able pen of Sir Alfred Lyall, P. C. The late Marquis, it will be remem- bereti. achieved his most brilliant successes as his country's ambassa- dor to the French capital, where in 189<5 he closed his great diplomatic career. A great man. Hear how- he got angry with the Sultan: "Ho (the Sultan) said something about England wi.shing to acquire a Protectorate over Turkey. Upon this I turned upon him in great wrath, and told him I could not ac- cept such a statement, and required to know the grounds upon which it was founded. He suid that it was what other people suggested, upon which, with great warmth, I told him he was surrounded in his palace by people who knew nothing of Eur- ope and European politics, or of the political forces of the world, and that they were driving him and his Empire to the devil, I could not help thinking that the Sultan was rather pleased than otherwise at hearing his friends abused. We tlion both calmed down, and I led the con- versation into a plcasanter chan- nel.'i • liut everything concerning Russia is now of interest, and Sir Alfred Lyall writes: •On February 18th, 1880, Lord DufTerin wa.s dining with the French .\mbassador, when Monsieur de Oiers, the Russian Minister, who was al-so present, mentioned that he had heard A LOUD EXPLOSIOM in the direction of the Palace, and had sent for information. A mes- senger soon brought news of an attempt to blow up the Emperor's apartments. This broke up the party, and Lord Pufforin hur- ried to the Palace, where the Em- peror, accompanied by the Duchess of Edinburgh, came out to speak with him. His first words were: 'Providence has again mercifully sav- ed me." In a letter to Lord Salisbury de- scribing the dreadful atTair, Lord Dufierin wrote: "He (the Emperor) then told me that the Empress was asleep when the catastrophe occurred â€" that the noise had not awoke her. and that she was still unaware of what had happened. The Duchess of Edinburgh I am told, showed remarkable cour- age and presence of mind, her apart- ments being in very close proximity to the scene of the catastrophe." A mine had been fixed in the base- ment under the room whore the JSm- peror was to dine. 13ut the Czar wan late, and had not ai'rived. While he escaped scathTess, eight soldiers of the guard were killed and forty-five wounded. One can imagine the undignified plight of the Russian general as re- vealed by the following extract: "Humors had been abroad for months past (wrote Lord Duffcrin) of a conspiracy to blow up the Palace, which had been kept crammed with soldiers ever since the Emper- or's return â€" a strange method of precaution against a gunpowder plot; but, according to Lord DufTer- in, the imbecility of the special household police had been super- human. The general coomianding the Palace was in a lift when the mine blew up; the men working the pulleys fled, and left him sn.speudcd midway FOR JJEAHLY TWO HOURS, while everyone was searching for him; and 'his friends imagined that, having been at the bottom of the plot, he had withdrawn himself froiu public observation.' Military rein- forcements were hurriedly suiiunoned; the soldiers dropped cartridges as they ran through the streets, and these were exploded by the wheels of pa.ssing carriages, increasing the Iianic and bewildering the police, who pounced upon the diosky of an un- lucky Engli.sh governess, and drag- ged her olT to prison on the charge of having lired a pistol.'' Poor little English governess! It is to be hoped the police got over their fright. Queen Victoria was a devoted mother te her children, and occasion- ally went to e.xtremes in her mater- 1 nui solicitude. Wrote Lord Dufferin to a corre.i|)<indent in regard to thei funeral of the Czar, whom shortly afterwards the Nihilists after all succeeded in blowing to pieces: "1 Was all in favor of the Prince (ot Wale.i) coming, and of bringing his wife too. 1 knew that the risk, | though not ab.^olutely "" ^^^"" "" i one can calculate upon what these j fniuitics will do), was almost inap-' pri-ciable, and consiilering what ncar| relations our Ho.valtics now are to those in Uu.saia. and the fact that all the other Princes of Europe were flocking to St. I'ptersburg, it would have looked very ill if » brother-in-law and sister had been deterred from coming by the fear of any personal risk. Consequently I telegraphed to the Queen in that Bonr.e. in .spile of the r«'sponsil>ility. Her Slajesty telegraphed hack thot she would hold me persiinally liabK' for any harm that ndght haplH'n to either of them. "Which, under the circiimstance.-c," .said the andnissador. plnintlvely. was iM>t a very pleasant niossnpe."

Davis, the man who at eighty-two was vigorous enough to be Ilemotratic candidate for the Vi'-e-Presidency of the United States, the other day, says his rules of good living and long lite are as follows: "I never allow anything to worry me. "My conscience is always reason- ably clear. "I sleep eight hours every night. "I eat three square nieals in twen- ty-four hours. "I drink a little wine at times, but that is all. "I do not use tobacco in any form. "I take a good long walk every- day." A stranger asked one of his neigh- bors if he did not think Mr. Davis was getting too old to transact bu- siness. "Think so'.'" was the reply. "I guess you haven't swapped hoi sea with him lately, have you?" WORSE THAN EVER. One of the hardest things in the world is to condole with an,vbody in a misfortune or a bereavement. If it were not that the matter i.s generally serious, a great many funny stories could be printed about the condolencoii people offer to the bereaved. But at Manchester some time ago a hard-working Irishman fell out of a fourth-story window and bi'oke his neck'. His wife was, of course, in great distress. After the funeral a neighbor called to offer her sympathy and condo- lence. "It wn.'j a very sad thing, indeed." "Indeed it was. To die like that â€" to fall out of a fourth-storey win- dow." "An' was it so bad?" asked the visitor. "Sure, an' I heard it was only a third-storey window." A KOYAL noOICLET.
