president of the Royal Society of Paint
its In Water Colors. In whoso galleries
he has been a constant exhibitor. He
waa knighted more than twenty-flve
years ago. In 1870 ho was elected n
Royal Academician and was also made
a chovuHer of the Legion of Honor.
Sir John for many years refused to
sell any of his paintings, with a view to
nno day presenting them to the nation.
In 1S03 ho divided the collection among
the art galleries of London, Manches

that time ho was presented with the
freedom of the City of London, an hon

Ills Ant Arr Mmle to Tkr till- rie
of .Nrrdlp mill Thrrnit,
Science has mnde vast strides during
the last half of the century, and In no
branch of knowledge Is this progress
more marked than in that of surgery.
Many an operntloi Is now performed
with facility and safety that was not
dreamed of fifty years ago, and many
nn operation that wo now consider
trivial and beneath the remark was
then considered as next to Impossible.
The Introduction of nnaohthetlcs and
tlm rnp!iriliii nf l.oril Lister 111 Illltl- I
septic, surgery account largely for this
state of things. Indeed, before the In
troduction of antiseptic methods In the
operating theatre as many lives we-re
lost from thoso bugbears of all sur
geons, pyemia nnd septicemia, as re
sulted from the. operations themselves,
The method, therefore, of securing a
wound which Is still prevalent nmon
the Brazilian Indians may be looked
upon as at least strictly antiseptic.
The materials required for performing
the operation nro found handy nlmost
anywhere In a Hra.lllan forest. These
arc a species of a very large ant, which
has mandibles that can bite through
almost any substance. The mouth Is
furnished with transversely movable
Jaws and does not possess a sting. A
bite f i om one of these ants Is perfectly
harmless, and Is followed by no swell
ing or other evil results. The lower Up
of the ant. Instead of being a simple
cover to the mouth, Is developed Into a
strange Jointed organ, which can be
shot out much farther than the upper
lip or, when at rest, can bo folded Hat
over the face and can be rapidly pro
truded or withdrawn. It Is furnished
at Its extremity with a pair of forceps,
and Is able to gr.Tjp objects with the
strength and firmness of a Bmall pair of
pincers. Nothing, unless eased In met
al, can resist those jaws. What the
Brazilian Indian dors when he or one
or his patients receives a gash Is this:
He catches some of these ants, and,
holding them to the wound, which he
has previously closed togothcr, lets
them bite. They flx their mandibles
on each side of the wound, nnd then lie
pinches off the rest of tho body, leav
ing the mandibles nnd Jaws to close
up the wound. A row of these ants'
heads keeps a wound together quite ns
effectively as tho nccdlo nnd thread of
a surgeon, hut the pain given to tho
victim of this rude style of surgery
must bo considerable. Rude as this
method may seem, however, It hu Its
advantages In being strictly antiseptic
and causing no evil effects. Tho Jaws
of the ant nro extracted with a pair of
forceps after tho wound has satisfac
torily healed. New York Herald.

has been occupied
for diplomatic pur

or more, theie Is little that H Oriental
In Its appearance. Nothing In the ex
terior denotes the purpose of the build

the national emblem of Japan, over the
main doorway. Scarcely anything In
tho interior Indicates Japanese owner
ship except the richness of the raw silk
hangings and some priceless lacquer-
work and porcelain. It Is a pleasant
thrce-story-und-bascment brick edifice,
well shaded, with grass lawns and gar
dens at the side and In the icar. Con
nected with the residence Is an nnnex,
stretching back to the next street, and
nffortllng accommodation for the at
taches and a separate cut! mice for bus
iness purposes.
The residence of the minister and his
family can bo mado separate from tho
legation ofllccs whenever that Is de
sired. On ceremonial occasions the
portieres of diplomatic etiquette and
precedence, may bo let down, but those
occasions are few. At all other times

WOULD wish to
say a few words, In
e o n c luslon, con
cerning the spirit
of unrest which Is
so visible almost
everywheie In the
India of to-day,
nays a Poona cor
tcMinudi'iit of the
uiloii Standard.
of the Eng
lish papers appear to be Inclined to ex
aggerate things, to mix up the Pooua
murders and the Calcutta riots, as If
they were both ciiuhimI by the same peo
ple. No tine who has any knowledge
of India todav thinks that there was
any ical connection between these
events. Both weie hi ought about by
puiely local causes, Still less has the
shooting of an old sentry or two In the
Tochl valley anything to do with the
disturbances lu India proper, although
I have seen that some London papers
have lumped them all together as If
they were part and parcel of the same
conspiracy. Hut, though the causes of
the Calcutta riots and the Poona mur
ders were puiely local, there was cue
point of lesembbince between them and
between all the serious bleaches of the
peace that have taken place dining re
cent years. I mean that tbeio Is a
whlcspicad Idea that the government,
no matter whether It Is that of Bengal
or Bombay or any other part of India,
Is afraid to take severe measures lu
quelling disturbances. There Is an
idea that the authorities will allow
their district olllcers no sort of dUcro
crctlou lu dealing with lints and the
like, nnd that It is perfectly safe to
embark In the pronounced outrages
and breaches of tho peace, because the
government Is either unwilling or un
abln to suppress them. The nativo
press hns so eneruached on the tolera
tion of tho government, so freely
passed tho line which divides liberty
from license, has Indulged with Impun
ity with such outrageous slanders and
libels on the olllcers of the government,
even tho very highest, that there Is no
wonder that a belief has spread abroad
that the government Is afraid to exer
cise Its full powers and that it will not
extend to Its olllcers any sort of pro
tection when they are assailed with
tho nbusn and reviling of the native
press. In fact, In Bengal It has been a
custom of recent years to positively en
courage the attacks of tlu nativo press
on the Indian civilians who ndnilulster
that province. Slnilliuly, we have seen
how nothing was done to protect Mr.
Hand from tho slanders nf the Mali
ratta press. All this, and many other
things dating from recent years have
resulted In n loss of prestige which It
will tnkc years to remedy. On, every
side there are rumors of disaffection;
It Is said that Brahuuin emissaries nro
attempting to tamper with the men of
the native corps containing Hindoos,
and so long as the government shows
a weak front to tho seditious attacks nf
disaffected persons In tho press mid
elsewhere, so long may we expect to
seo this spirit of unrest, which Is so
marked a characteristic of tho India
of today, increasing and multiplying on
every side, it Is hardly necessary to
add that the news of tho frontier disas
ters and murders of Isolntcd British
officers which have been coming In so
frequently of lato only tend to encour
age and Ht lengthen this spirit of un
rest. Already the Ignorant peasantry
In various parts of tho country fully
believe that tho British raj must sine
ly be coming to an end. Evil disposed
persons go freely among them telling
how tho famine, the earthquake, the
want of rain, nnd 'every other evil Is
directly attributable to the alien rulers
against whom Mr. Dndabhal Naorojl
and his followers nro so fond of In
veighing. Whnt we want In India now
are strong men. This Is no time for
tho dissemination of radical doctrines
or congress remedies. If we are to
maintain our position in the country
wo must assume a more determined nt
titude than we have done of lato.
TALLY STICKS.
ItoniHit Niiinrriil. .n Drrlio' from
M-orc lllil C'rllle AlnlwlHT.
That tnlly stlckH wore at ono time
pretty general may be concluded from
the derivation of the word score. In
Its original signification, a "scoro" Is
a "scar," a cut made In a counting
stick. So also a "tally" Is derived from
(ho French tallle, says Chambers'
Journal,
Tho Roman numerals are derived
from scoies, They were mere notches
cut lu wood oilglnally The V for llvu
was n rude representation of the out
spread hand, and the X In like man
ner symbolized nil ten lingers; the IV
was a comparatively late Innovation;
originally the IV was represented by
four strokes, or notches, as In clock
dials.
The old Celtic alphabet tho Ogham
wilting -was of very similar nature.
It consisted of notches cut at the co--tier
of a square stone, or else from a
stem Hue. The lcttern II, L, F, S. N are
formed by cutting strokes tit light an
gles to the stem line of the right hand,
utiil tho letters II, I), T, C, Q by strokes
at light angles to the left. Thus, a
simple stroke of the right Is B nnd to
the left Is II. two to the light Is L
ntul the same number to the left Is
I). Three to one side Is F, threo to the
other Is V. Long strokes, ntMiiherlng
fiom one to live, cutting the stem diag
onally, expressed M, G, Ng, St. R, and
slim I strokes, numbering from one to
live, cutting across the stem at right
ungles, give the vowels. It It! easy to
see that the tally stick was used for
numbers before the alphabet was
thought of by our CelMe, forefathers.
Having proved the tolly stick valuable
for accounts, they applied It for writ
ing messages on mils and memorials
on tombs. The old Runic stnves for
calendars were Boinewhnt similar.
Strange symbols were Introduced to
mark (he several festivals, but the dayi
were Indicated by notches.
