AN ARAB SURGEON
His Own Story of a Wonderful Opera
tion Ho Performed
Mr Walter B Harris In his account
of n Journey to Tafllct tells the story
of a wonderful operation in surgery
as It was reported to him by a native
doctor who was
traveling
In his coin-
puny
I think the old man fancied that I
doubted lite 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
iacts and details of hl3 most success
ful operation There Is a sect in Mo
rocco called Hamacha who are fol
lowers of a certain saint buried near
Meklnez These devotees amuse their
audience and themselves too let us
hope by throwing Into the air heavy
cannon balls which they allow to fail
upon their shaven crowns On the oc
casion in question a Hamdushi had
unfortunately been wanting in reli
gious power for the cannon ball
crushed his skull
My old sliereef friend bad 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 n mouths time he said
the patient was not only convalescent
but was once more hard at work prac
ticing his religio aerobatic feats with
not only a remodeled and renovated
skull but even a new crop of hair
f
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 Tbe silver fox is
not of different kind but a glorified
freak of the red race His parents mav
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 him with speed and wind
and 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
tho 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 tbe 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
brain 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 think of tbe theory
that food has a potent influence in
determining character asked Mr
Suiithfield 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 Suiithfield good
humoredly 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
scraps
themselves to a diet of
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 you
that there is really no such thing as
noise It is merely a matter of sub
jective impression
No Flies on Him
Two Irishmen just landed stopped
at a private boarding house on one hot
July night Retiring early they left
the window open and the light burn
ing brightly The mosquitoes swarm
ed into the room and began biting
Mike awakening called to Pat to
put out tho light Pat got up and put
it out and crawled back to bed again
Pat awoke about an hour later and
found the room full of fireflies and
paid Its no use Mike They are
coming in with lanterns
Pleasure Trips
Going to the north pole is no pleas
tire trip said the sympathetic friend
Well answered the arctic explorer
it reminds me somewhat of the arer
hcre pleasure trip Everybody is so anx
ious to sLirt and so glad to get home
Washington Star
They never taste who always drink
They always talk who never think
