The doctors nave been adoing of it agaic. Give them a earving-Hnife, a, needle and thread, and a "subiect" to operate upon, and they will work miracles. With the one they will put, ca-rve, and dissect you joint by joint in aa quick time us a professional cook can break up a chicken, and without letting you know they have been performingand then after satisfying themselves that they have got you in pieces, they will stitch and sew you together again in as neat a manner as a tailor can make a pair of breeches, and leave no frayed edges to show the job has been bunsied. The modern wielders of the scalpel" can [ heal slashed hearts with almost the same magic rapidity as the Breaoh of Promise Court car. piece a broken one with £500 compensation. A news item is going the I rounds that in Massachusetts some American doctors have entirely and coni--1 plotely "renovated" a patient they had been dealing with in hospital there and the miracle is mentioned in such a mild and modest manner as almost to suggest that such performances were of everyday occurrence. What do you think of tiiis for a piece of up-to-date surgery? A new forehead, new eyelids, new cheeks, new nose, new lips, new neck—all nicely enveloped in new skin. In short, the man had been provided with an entirely now face. The inauguration of the new Old Bailey by the King will constitute a ; record. At least, history does not re-(,-oid the appearance of any previous British Sovereign in those classic precincts. The Old Bailey, as a place for judicial sittings, however, is so old that nobody knows when these sittings beg.m. Strype's ''fair and stately" Old Btiiley was demolished by the Gordon I rioters, in the- lurid light of the blazing distilleries in Holborn. Dance's Old 8.-iiloy that came after tvus much altered land added to; but one feature long reI mained—the room wherein the sheriffs I spread a dining table for the judges twice a day. The rhaplain. of ICewgate ■uas occustoraerl to figure at both reWhen the poet talked of wretchjps swinging that jurymen might dine, he was under a misconception. The pillory. iby the way. which was once an Old Bailey appurtenance, remained so up to r-wO. when the last patient, one P. J. Boissy. stood there for an hour for perjury. President Eoosevelt appears in almost ns varied roles as Kaiser William. Recently he remitted a fine of £60 imposed on Emaiiuel Kane, a gambler, and 'invited him to the White House on his i release from prison after serving a three monthV sentence. Kane went. "(Mad to sec you. Kane: I want to give ! you a new start in life.' 7 said Mr. Roosevelt, who then delivered a severe lecture ;against gambling, and advised Kane to .abandon the liquor habit. "Have you a 'sweetheart? , ' asked Mr. Roosevelt. Kane said he had. Thereupon the President 'paid: "Marry her. Lead a simple life/ The President grasped his hfind. saying: i"G-ood bye, old fellow, You are on the : right track at last."' j ' i Thai apportunities still occur to run 1 oft' with young ladies placed in a very ! much higher social plane, n romantic j affair, in which a young- lady, the dr.ughter of persons of title, was concorned, and which hns created a sensnI tioii in the East Midlands would seem to i indicate. During the absence of her ' parents in another part of the country I the young lady arranged to leave her i homo with a farm hand, whose parents 'occupy n humble position. To the chagrin of the eonple the elopement was t rated. The all air hfd been cleverly planned. The young lady obtained ? drt'.-s from one of the servants, and pvttiiig a veil ever her face left the bouse in this disguise in the temporary absence of her governess. At the nearest station the girl purchased tickets for a town sonic miles distant, and as the train steamed into the station she -was joined by the farm hand. On reaching the town to which they had booked the couple met with a keen disappointment. Somebody who had been watching the girl appeared on the scene, and alter a little persuasion the young lovers were induced to separate and to return home. The Re->. E. Husband, vicar of St. Michael's Church. Folkestone, gave an address on a recent Sunday afternoon on "True Womanhood and the downward grade in the present day.'" In the course of his remarks he said that every advancing >cnv fnid the tale that people by crowds were giving up God for the world. One of the worst instances of I this downward grade was the yearly-in- ' creasing number of women who were [turning their bncks upon their true and noble position in the world, and trying to figure, by their conduct and demeani our,"an men. Look, for instance, at the I golf links, and pee'the daily increase of ! women who were forsaking home to play i n game only suitable for men. After '.•orfdemning "cycling as unfit for women. Itlm rev. gentleman strongly criticised : smoking by women on the railways. A :guard told him a few weeks ago that often of late he had noticed ladies puffiim cigarettes in the carriages as he loasheriup and down the platforms at different stations. The disgraceful scene ;in the Ladies' Gallery of the House of Commons recently was only another evijdence that matters wore going from bad to worse. True womanhood was one ;of the mo.-H Deautiful creations of God, ! and-wo looked to the home, for it. ■ An impression prevails—owiug. peri hnps, to Ouiria's depiction of the scented ' Guardsman—that military officers mess luxuriously, and usually quaff eham- . nu'rmc with their meals. Doubtless there is still some mess extravagance in our " crack"' regiments, but, as " A Senior Officer" points out in the "Naval ; and Military Record," the ordinary ! charge for raesiing is four shillings a I flar— exclusive of aftiyrnocn tea, which, !it appears, is a recognised extra, in the military world. '•Senior Oflicer"' argues, ■ and with some heat, that it i= unfair to j expect military officers to mess as I economically as their naval contempoI raries, and'he is successful in showing j that the naval oflicer derives solid advantages from his right to draw the ration, '• -whereas Ih p military officer—except ! when on active service—has never enj jovPd that privilege. One is confronted here with a curious anomaly, and the I point may be worthy of attention now ' that so many young men are debarred i from seeking commission? in the Army ion financial grounds. Upon what prin- ! ciple. il may be asked, is the military officer denied The ration, while the naval officer draws it —or its equivalent value? Evidently the naval principle helps to i keep down mess bills, since a wardroom officer pays no more than two shillings a ! day for hi* food, and in many ships ob--1 tains his " seven-bell" tea without extra I charge. " Senior Officer' regards the ' four-shillinsr scale as economical, but if , it could be reduced fifty per cent, by the is?ue of the ration —for one may assume that naval and jnilitary officers consume about, the same amount of food —such a decline in the messing charges might assist Mr. Haldane to fill the gaps ii\ the commissioned ranks.
