A Long Lived Eagle.
It has been a tradition from tlmo
immemorial that tho caglo renews its
strength when very old. It mounts
aloft until It comes very near tho sun,
when, scorched by tho heat, It throws
itself Into the sea, whence it emerges
full of renewed vigor.
Such havo supposed that Uio passago
in Psalms clii, 5, "Thy youth Is re
newed llko tho eagle's," alludes to this
old fable. But tho more probablo fact
Is that it refers to tho strength and
vigor which characterize tho caglo oven
In old age. ,
A couplo of years ago a largo speck

On opening tho bottio a note was found
written in Danish, which translated
raids ns follows: "Caught nntl ngnln
mado freo by N. and C. Anderson in
the year 1702."
Pain and Appendicitis.
That pain at what doctors call "Me-
Burney's point" is not, ns generally
believed, proof of appendicitis was
demonstrated before a Texan medical
society recently by Dr. P. I. Nixon of
San Antonio In an address published
in the Medical Record.
Dr. Nixon told tho history of several
cases in which operation proved tho
diagnosis of appendicitis to havo been
erroneous and of ono in which an ex
ploratory operation proved appendici
tis to bo tho trouble when thcro was
no pain over McBurncy'a point This

It takes a combination of several dif
