serves as example. He writes:
"I had Bronchitis for three years
and dt.crored all the time with¬

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.
Woderful things are done for
the human b -dy I»y surgery. Or¬
gans are taken out and scraped
and polished and put back, or
they maybe removed entirely;
bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are
applied to wounds, bruises, hums
and like injuries before inflam¬
mation sets in, which causes
th-*m to heal without maturation
and in one-third the time re¬
quired by tho old treatment.

VOLTAIRE AND ROUSSEAU.
Polutcd Jokes That l’asned Between
the Two Authors.
Voltaire anil Itousseau, though on
frieudly terms, were in the habit of
firing off pointed jokes at one another.
One day Rousseau was diuiug with
Voltaire, and oysters were brought on
the table, for. as soiyebcdy has remark¬
ed, no dinner could be complete with¬
out them. The author of “Emile,” aft¬
er helping himself pretty freely, made
the somewhat injudicious remark:
“I am sure I could eat as many oys¬
ters as Samson slew Philistines.”
“With the same weapon?” (the Jaw¬
bone of an ass) slyly inquired Voltaire.
Rousseau did not soon forget the lit¬
tle Joke at his expense and sought an
opportunity for rerenge. Not long aft¬
erward Voltaire called at his house
during his absence. The door being
open, be walked into the library, and,
finding all tlie books thrown alamt in
confusion and covered with dust, he
traced on one of them the word “co¬
chon” (pig) with his finger. Next day
he met Rousseau and said to him:
“I called at your bouse yesterday,
but did not find you in.”
“I know,” replied the latter. “I found
card.”
Tbe Oldest Church Id Eur«|ic.
Canon Routledge in his “History of
St. Martin, Canterbury,” claims the
proud distinction of the oldest church
in Europe for that venerable edifice.
He describes it as occupying the
unique position of being the only exist¬
ing church that was originally built as
a church during the first four centu¬
ries and has remained a church till the
present day. St. Martin’s has a sort of
rival in St. Mnry-in-tbe-Castle, Dover,
which Canon Puckle believes to have
been erected by British workmen some
time in the fourth century.
Looking For a Cinch.
Tommy—Arc you and Sister Ethel
golu’ to get married? Mr. Stediiy—
Why—er—what put sueb a question in
your head, Tommy? Tommy — Oh,
nothin’, only Billy Daly wanted to bel
me a nickel against a cen£ that the
match ’d never come off, and t’d like
a little inside information.— Puck.
Tlie mind ought sometimes to be
amused that it may the better return
to, and to itself.

In telling the story of'l.ow |„
became afflicted Renfro write,
, vlljle ,, e lvn3 pl „ vi „ „
of wWst with three of
„p j,, tlle Windy City the subject
of religion was brought up and
discussed at length. Renfro
sti>tedi or w “„,
friends were firm believers inthe
Supreme Being, while he did not
believe in God.
“Ill this part of the religious
discussion,” Renfro wrote, “I
told my friends that unless the
God they believed would strike
me deaf and dum I would not be.
lieve there was one. Almost as
soon as I finished the sentence
the power of speech was taken
from me, and a few minutes af¬
terward l was unable to hear
anything my friends were saying,
nor was I aware of any noise
going on about me. 1 wnsstrick*
on so suddenly 1 hardly knew
what had happened. I tried to
address my friends, hut that was
impossible, and since that day I
have been unable to bear or utter
a word. The affliction befell me
last Tuesday evening,” Jiero
Renfro gave a sign and showed
evidences of feeling his affliction
keenly. v
J us * as soon as I lost my henr-
j . 11 ” P°"cis I saw of the a beautiful light
*** one corner room. It re-
in | n ^ e ^ ,ne °1 lightning. In the
midst of this light there appeared
,tu an ^ e ^' ^ remember the scene
P°*fectly. The vision lasted for
1 ^ fcW n ” m R ea only, and then dis-
*M , P eare d as suddenly as it had
come.
“M 3 ’ friends spoke to me, and
wlun they learned what had hap-
p3iied they were greatly surprised.
I wrote them of my feeling and
also the visit n I saw. It was u 11-
doubtedly tli 3 most remarkable
thing I had ever experienced in
my life. When I told my friend*
that if there was a God, I would
believe it if he struck me deaf
and dum, I did lot mean this as
a defi. I merely said it because
I felt that there was no God.
“Now I am sure there is a God
and have every reason to believe
that God,wants me to work for
him. From now on I sioui speiftl
my life in his service .' 5
“I am perfectly contented with
my present condition. I have
nothing to fear, and am living in
the hopee of having my lost pow¬
ers returned to me by Him. My
condition has not alarmed i»
the leas}. I am convinced. >Kat
there is a God now. I have not
seen any specialists regarding iny
condition, and as a matter of fact
I odn’t intend employing tbe ser¬
vices of any one. I donrt believe
it is possible for me ta regain tlie
powers I have lost through any
other source but by which they
were taken away from me. I*
have not even consulted a special¬
ist, and where the correspondent
got his infoinnatien from in this,
regard I an> enable to say. There
are hut few people who, know of
my affliction, and I have men¬
tioned nothing about a specialist
to them .’ 5
Rvnfro is emphatic in his state¬
ment when he says that his. afflic¬
tion is due to the visitation from
God. It is utterly impossible, to
change i-bila belief'of his. Renfro
is a Methodist, those friends with
whom he discussed religion in
Chicago were all members of thfc
Catholic faith*
