M. Waller. OLD TIME SURGERY. The Barbarous Methods of the Six- teenth Century. Ambroise Pare, a barber surgeon of the sixteenth century, tells in his notes how in 1537 he weut to the long wars to get practice in surgery. He invent- ed some new processes, particularly in the treatment of amputated limbs. Up to Pare's time the most barba- rous means had been used to stop the | bleeding. In his own words: "So soon | as the limb was removed the surgeons would use many cauteries to stop the | flow of blood, a thing very horrible | and cruel in the mere telling. And truly of six thus cruelly treated scarce two ever escaped, and even these were long ill, and the wounds thus burned were slow to heal, because the burning caused such vehement pains that they fell into fever, convulsions and other mortal accidents. In most of them, moreover, when the scar fell off there came fresh bleeding, which must again be stancbed with the cauterles. So that for many healing was impossible, and they had an ulcer to the end of their lives, which prevented them from baving an artificial Hmb." : The idea of abolishing such cruelty by using the ligature occurred to Pare | fo one of his war journeys, and bis success went beyond his own expecta- tions. His other discovery was made within a few bours of his joining the | army. It was believed by the surgeons of the day that there was poison in a gunshot wound, and one of the accept: ed authorities insisted that they must be cauterized "with oll of elders seald- ing hot, mixed with a litile treacle." The pain was intolerable. It happened that at his first treatment of guashot wounds Pare's oll ran short, and he used lustead "a digestive made of the yolks of eggs, oll of roses and turpen- | tine." ' To his surprise he found next morning that the patients he bad thus treated were in better condition than the others. "Then [ resolved never more to burn thus cruelly poor men with gunshot wounds." Newton's Fearful Crime. At the end of a meal at Haydons house Keats proposed a toast iu these terms: "Dishonor to the memory of Newton." The guests stared at him In question- y ing surprise, and Wordsworth asked for an explanation, "It 1s." answered Keats, "because be destroyed the poetry of the rainbow by reducing It to a prism." And the art ists all drank, with oue consent, con: i quite | er's look of uncertainty. *"Take another { to in the morning?" | on, "the night maghifies.

Something Worth Knowing For Those Who Lie Awake and Worry. i "You. have Jain awake at night" | i sald a physician, "and have beard a | mouse gnawing at the woodwork! somewhere down in a kitchen cup- board?" The listener nodded. "How, loud did it sound to you--as | loud as a burglar splintering the door | jambs with a jimmy? ! Another nod. i "You have been awakened at 1:30 a. m. by the crying of a teething in- | | fant next door?' i A'shudder. : i "And It sounded iike the hoarse mur murs of mingled ululations of a fren- zied mob assembled outside to demand somebody's Llpod " y Partial collapse, "Along toward morning you have lis- tene the thin, small volce of a mos- irculating above your head?" An involuntary slap. "Did it sound like the screech of a | planing mill turning out clapboards for a barn?" Two nods. "Would you have minded any of those sounds in the daytime?' A shake of the head. "Now, 1 have no doubt you think that the seeming loudness of these sounds was due to the contrasting si- lence of the night, But take another test. You have been in love?" Um-um (without utterance). "And do you remember how much softer and warmer and more thrilling was the touch of your best girl's hand as you strolled with her on the way home from singing school at the witch. ing hour of half past 9 p. m. than It was when you called in the forenoon to ask if you might escort her to the aforesaid vocal exercises?' An unspoken yum yum. "Was it the night silence that added the finishing touch? "It was not," the physician replied to his own question, noting his listen- instance: You think you know how to write--a little." A smile of gratification. "Well, you find yourself awake at night and thiiking. A gem of an idea suddenly. sparkles in the darkness. You surround it with epigrams, and while elaborating the setting you fall asleep. What does this jewel amount A sig "There you are. You recall the idea and some of the epigrams and a little of the setting and all of it so common- place that you wouldn't think of try- ing to make anything presentable out of it. "The fact is," the physiclan went pleasures are mare keen, our pains more distressing, our small successes are triomphs, our little failures are calamities, "You find yourself awake in the night, and your thenghts wander back to some time in your youth when in the presence of those older and wiser you-as you now see it--were guilty of some little offense to good taste in | speech, and you dwell upon the con- | demnuation that must have fallen upon | you.

"Such things as I have men- | tioned prove it. It is partly due to the | silence, but more to ourselves. To ac- | count for the latter would keep me | talking. | "But take it for granted that what- ever your cause for worry at night it will look smaller by daylight and re- | fuse to dwell on it.

To the English victors of Havana belonged the spoils, and very*rich and important these were. Besides the nine Spanish men-of-war found intact in the harbor, which added to the three sunk at the en- trance and to one or two others cap- tured outside in 'the course of the op- erations formed about one-fifth of the naval power of Spain and seriously crippled her for the rest of the war. uo less an amount than £3,000,000 was realized In prize money by; the cap-- ture of this wealthy city. Of this great sam we are tgid that Albemarle and Pocock as commanding respective- Iy the land and sea forces suceived no less than £122,697 each, while Commo- dore Keppe"s share amousted to as much as £24539, and doubtless his brother, Major General Keppel, receiv- ed an almost equal sum.

Teppence--mweaning, of course, two petice and equal to the sum of 4 cents | in United States currency--is the dom- inating sum in London. It Is as much | an institution as the war debt, beer or the game of cricket. Wherever you | gn whatever you do, whatever you sell or whenever you open your mouth it is tuppence or a series of that sum that is extracted from you. It more than takes the place of the five cent plece in America or. the threepenny Lit in the British possessions. Tuppence Is as much as a fairly well to do worker can afford for his meal at midday. In the poorer restaurants big mug, or three slices and a Jittle mug, or a portion of cake and a drink, or a fried egg, slice and small mug, or a saonsage with mash or bread, or a rasher of bacon. In the next higher | class everything drinkable is twopence | | per cup, while pastry, ples, etc, are the same sum per head. At the "popular"~L e, "no gratuities"---res- taurants the waiters expect a tuppen- uy tip (though it is advertised other- wise by the proprietors), and the non- | tipper has a bad time. At most cafes tipping is the usual thing, and tup- | pence is expecjed and is accepted with the servile bow and pleased expression that distinguish the English and con- tinental 'waiter upon such occasions. The tuppenny tube is well known. You deposit that sum, and you get in anywhere and get out anywhere else you please. On trolley cars and buses that amount will carry you for an hour or two very often, usually to the ter- minus. The railroad porter' who car- ries your rug a few yards or who says "Yus" when you ask if the train has stopped always has his hand out for the usual fee, though he will carry your two large bags and whatever else you have for half a mile over high stairs and low' lines and accept the same amount with the same satisfac- | tion.

"To be a successful juggler it Is neces- sary to possess infinite patience. Some tricks require such long and continuous | practice that unless a man possessed | great patience and unlimited powers of perseverance he would despair of ever being able to perform them," says Paul Cinquevalll in the St Louis Post-Dis- patch.
