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.

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.

New Orleans, June 15.—St, Julian lieufr» f the young man ZJZ Ulis mornin stlUed „ he w „ , lmv Brlnlv COllv ; llceJ ’ erc ; 8 Snprell |e rejn „ 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*
