AN ARAB SURGEON
His Own Stftry of a Wonderful Opera
tion He Performed
Mr Walter B Harris in Ills account
of a journey to Tnlllet tells the story
of n wouderful operation in surgery
as Jt wan reported to him by a native
dojlor who was traveling In his com
pany
I think the old man larcied that 1
doubted hi skill At least he was al
ways holding forth upon the subject
and continually repeating the story
that when in Algeria he had been of
fered a fabulous salary the sum va
ried each time the tale was told to re
main in charge of the military hos
pital at Algiers an honor which he
had declined
He never tired of narrating the
facts and details of his most success
ful operation There is a sect in Mo
rocco called Ilamacha who are fol
lowers of a certain saint buried near
Mekinez These devotees amuse their
audience and themselves too let us
hope by throwing into the air heavy
cannon balls which they allow to fall
upon their shaven crowns On the oc
casion In question a Ilamdushi had
unfortunately been wanting in reli
gious power for the cannon ball
crushed his skull
My old shereef friend had been call
ed to the rescue According to his ac
count he removed the broken patch
of skull replacing It with the rind of
n green pumpkin and closed the skin
over it In a months time he said
the patient was not only convalescent
but was once more hard at work prac
ticing ids religio acrobatic feats with
not only a remodeled and renovated
fikull but even a new crop of hair
THE SILVER FOX
He Is a Glorified Freak of the Red
Fox Breed
Only those -wise in the woodlore of
the north can fully know the magic in
the name silver fox The silver fox is
not of different kind but a glorified
freak of the red race llis parents may
have been the commonest kind of red
foxes yet nature in extravagant mood
may have showered all her gifts on
this favored one of the offspring and
not only clad him in a marvelous coat
but gifted hira with speed and wind
nnd brains above his kind to guard his
perilous wealth And need he has of
all such power for this exquisite robe
is so mellow rich so wonderful in
style with its gloss black and delicate
frosting that it is the most desirable
the most precious of all furs -worth
many times its weight in gold the no
blest peltry known to man It is the
proper robe of kings the appanage of
great imperial thrones today as was
the tyrian purple in the days of Rome
This is indeed the hunters highest
prize but so guarded by the cunning
braiu and the wind and limb of the
beast himself that it is through rare
good luck more than hunter skill that
a few of these fur jewels are taken
each year in the woods
There are degrees of rank among
these patricians They range in qual
ity even as diamonds range and the
hunters have a jargon of their own to
express all shades between the cross
and the finest silver black Ernest
Thompson Seton in Century Magazine
influence of Food
What do you thluk of the theory
that food has a potent influence in
determining character asked Mr
Smithfleld as he put three lumps of
sugar in his coffee
I guess its all right replied Mr
Wood as he severed a portion of his
beefsteak It always seems a little
cannibalistic to me when you order
lobster
Well retorted Mr Smithfleld good
hunioredly I ought to have known
it was dangerous to lend you money
after I discovered your fondness for
beets But seriously if there were
anything in the theory wouldnt it
make a man sheepish to eat mutton
It would and prize fighters ought
to restrict themselves to a diet of
scraps
All In the Mind
On the opening day of one winter
session the late Professor Tait of Edin
burgh university entered the natural
philosophy class room in the midst of
the uproarious applause common to
those occasions
Presently he looked up at the tumul
tuous benches above him with the
smile- of one who had known the ways
of students for a lifetime At last
when a momentary lull came he re
marked his gray eyes twinkling
Gentlemen I must remind yon
that there is really no such thing as
noise It is merely a matter of sub
jective impression

Prior
An Amateur Conjurer
During a little pedestrian trip a gen
tleman came unexpectedly upon a
country race course and on one por
tion of the ground found a thimhlerlg
establishment in full work Notwith
standing the remonstrance of his com
panion the gentleman who was a bit
of a madcap insisted on watching the
game
Now would the gent like to wager
a crown he could Gnd the pea re
marked the expert
Yes was the reply
The money was on both sides depos
ited and the pedestrian lifting up the
thimble pointed out the required pea
and took the stakes
A second bet double or quits end
ed to the surprise of the expert in the
same result
Then a third wager a pound or
nothing steadied the nerves of the
loser and the trick was accomplished
with great caution The gentleman
lifted up the thimble and showed the
pea at the same time pocketing the
stakes
Rhelp me etc I didnt put it
theie exclaimed the bewildered art
ist
No but I always carry my own
pea rejoined the man who had come
out right as he went on his way with
the spoils of war London Tit Bits
In Modern Egypt
Douglas Slodens book on Egypt
contains some curious anecdotes For
instance My doctor was called to see
an Egjptian who was in a very low
state What is the matter he asked
I think it is only depression I have
been a fool and lost a law case I
would not backsheesh the other mans
lawyer and he backsheeshed mine
Later on when another Egyptian told
my friend that he had won a law case
my friend said I suppose you back
sheeshed the other mans lawyer
The Egyptian gave a beautiful smile
and said How did you know
And again I was at Luxor when
they were recruiting for the army If
a young man was found to be phys
ically fit his relations were plunged in
grief Professional mourners were
hired to squat outside the police sta
tion where the recruiting took place
yelling and weeping If on the other
hand he was rejected as undersized
or a weakling or tainted with a loath
some disease his relations and friends
flew to him rejoicing and kissed him
and hung an his neck
Goes of Whisky
Forty goes of whi y had been
consumed by the licensed victualer
and still he was sober at least so he
told the city coroner Goes is a com
mon term in this connection but it
lacks tho full appropriateness to the
situation of its Scottish equivalent in
the story of another big drink told by
Dean Eamsay It was at a party near
Arbroath held to celebrate the recon
ciliation of two farmers who had long
been enemies When the party at last
broke up at a morning hour the pe
nurious lady of the house who had not
been able to sleep a wink for anxiety
called over the stairs to the servant
How many bottles of whisky have
they used Betty
I dinna ken mem was the answer
but theyve druncken six gang o wa

to the well for the qualifying fluid
