All surgeons preKr.to operate in hotoitahs,rlsee they an,itteeause9tte tittr'r'rAt'it everything in "0ntifii readiness before, during, and after the oper- ation. But many a country doctor performs ditheuit and dangerous operaticms at a. minute's notice. and under the must dimcult and dis- muraging conditions as to appli- ances and help. He must often use a smoking kitchen lamp because there is no other, foregu almost all attempts at surgical cleanliness be- cause there are none of the requis- ites at hand, and make use of the clumsy and terriiied people round him because there is no other help. Yet he often saves his patknt. Therefore, when an immediate and serious operation must be un- dertaken in a cleanly private heme, no one need be panic-stricken. When no nurse can be had. the sur- gem) will say what he needs. Most of all he needs a quiet. self-control- l led assistant who has plentv of cool. ness' and common sense. If there is} any choice in the matter. it is a; good plan not to operate in the room where the patient is to be kept, but in an adjoining one. It is better that, a surgical patient shall not see all the preparations for an operation, and he should not be carried far after it is over. Light is a very important cun- sideration; the surgeon must have all he can get. If the kitchen table has to be turned into an operating table, put it near the best light to be bad. Cleanliness is the preat thing for the assi'mnt to keep in mind,--mot ordinary domestic cleanliness but, a very different thing.--surgiel cleanliness. Be bure that there is a constant supply of hauling water for sterilizing instruments. If wa- 'ter cannot be boiled in the operat- ling room. you can set an alcohol llamp in the bath tub. and put the sterilizing pan on it.

A mother of pearl ikon, of the “Lord's Last Supper," almost identical to that presented to the Emperor of Russia by the Sultan of Turkey as a peace offering on the outbreak of the late In with Italy, is in London seeking e. chimt. It was destined for King George, but became it is not In oneial gift it cannot be presented to him, and, since no one else Ins a right to ae- cept it, the ikon remains without u mater.

It was a wonderful receptim which Jesus received upon this fin- al Occasion of His entry Into Jeru, salem. It marked without any ques- tion the flood tide of Bis popularity and fame. Here were people gather- ed 'from all the four quarters of Palestine, and some of them tut- doubtedly from foreign lands, bu celebrate the great feast of the Passover. And here they were ail rushing out, clad in holiday guru ments to bid welcome to Him who was now hailed for the flrct time perhaps as the long promised Mes- viah, and crowds of them accompany Him before and bchind, as he made His way into the city, with daneing 3nd singing and ringing shouts of Hosanna! Hosanna in the Highest. Inspiring, indeed, was this popu- lar triumph in the Holy City. And yet, if we can judge from the mea- gre reports which have been left us of this great day, Jesus does not seem to have been at all elated by His reception. On the contrary, Luke tells us speeifieally that as “He drew nigh" he looked across to the valley to the city. gleaming white as Ilabaster in the blazing sun. "and wept over it'." In the very midst of all this enthusiasm Hill, of Liverpool. who maintains a, winter home on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Ladv Hill paid the tribesmen for their work and brought the ikon to London. The ikon is made in the form of a half room with the front eleva- tion surmounted by the royal arms. The figure of the Saviour and His disciples about the table are done in full relief in solid mother of pearl. The work is very complete, even the smallest table utensils in mother of pearl occupying their or- dinary place on the table. The workmanship is exquisite and the design excellently done. It is pro- bnble that if no means can be found for delivering the ikon to the King, it will find a resting place in some London museum. Sign of Their Disappearance in the “out.
