\ fatal mistake.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
February 23d, 1883, pub-
}in account of a fatal
rgical operation which caused
rreat commotion among rned-
j men throughout the whole
an try, Dr. Thayer, the most
iineut surgeon in Cleveland,
enouncing it scandalous. It
L a rs that a Mrs. King had
U suffering for many years
Dm some disease of the stora-
j which had resisted the
atment of all the physicians
attendance. The disease
aunenced with a slight de-
igcment of the digestion,
th a poor appetite, followed
a peculiar indescribable dis-
:ss in the stomach, a feeling
it has been described as a
nt “all gone” sensation, a
uhy slime collecting about
teeth, causing a disagree-
- taste. This sensation was
removed by food, but, on
contrary, it was increased,
ter a while the hands and
t became cold and sticky—
cold perspiration. There
s a constant tired and lan-
d feeling. Then followed a
adful nervousness, with
imy forebodings. Finally
patient was unable to re-
any food whatever, and
»e was constant pain in the
omen. All prescribed rem-
es failing to n;ive relief, a
sultation was held, when it
decided that the patient
a cancer in the stomach,
in order to save the patient’s
an operation was justifi-
Accordingly, on the 22d
February, 1883, the opera-
was performed by Dr.
■nee in the presence of Dr.
ikerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr.
as, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner,
Dr. Halliwell of the Police
rd. The operation consist-
in laying open the cavity
he abdomen and exposing
stomach and bowels. When
had been done an examin-
n of the organs was made,
to the horror and dismay
the doctors there was no
cer to be found. The pa-
lt did not have a cancer,
len too late the medical men
overed that they had made
<errible mistake; but they
fed the parts together and

An Explorer's Story of the Argen
tine Republic.

World—Falls That Equal Ni

And Proorkssivk Men—

Mr. W. P. Tisdel, the noted African
explorer, has just returned from a
trip to the Argentine Republic. A
writer for the New York Mail and Ex-
press conversed with him about the
magnificent El Dorado, as he termed
the Argentine Republic.
‘‘It is the Utopian country of the
universe,” he said. “In climate, re
sources, energy and future possibilities
that country is the greatest on the face
of the earth. It fulfills in every way
the dream of the poet, the reality of
the liberty loving and the wealth that
first led the adventurous Spaniard to
■eek out and conquer unknown
worlds. The first impetus given to
progress in the Republic was when
1 resident Sarmiento inaugurated the
system of public schools fifteen years
ago. Since then an Eden of prosperi
ty lias followed.”
“How about the attempt to assas
sinate General Roca, the President,
the other day?”
“That was the actof an insane man.
Even model republics are not free
from cranks. President Roca is pop
ular, and the country has made great
progress during his term, which ex
pires on the 8th of October. He will
then resume his position as General-in-
Chief of the army. President Roca
will be succeeded by Juarez Selman;
who was elected by an overwhelming
majority. A Presidential term Is six
years. There are two political par
ties—the Liberals and Conservatives.
The former have won every eleotion,
and perhaps will continue to do so for
many years. The constitution and
laws are fashioned after those of the
United States. The republio contains
4,000,000 people and an area of 1,900,-
000 squares miles. The seasons there
are reversed. I left the last of May;
it was very cold. Now it is dead win
ter there. Thejcliuiate surpasses that
of any country. It is life-giving and
invigorating. Reef hung up in the
open air never decays, but dries to a
state of preservation, and great
quantities are shipped all over the
world.”
“What kind of adebt does the mod
el republic groan over?"
“She smiles under a foreign and
domestic debt of $120,000,000. The
rovenuesfor 1886 were $50,000,000 and
the expenditures $30,000,000. The
foreign commerce of ,1884 amounted
to a grand total of $150,000,000] Gold
has recently been discovered in the
Province of Patagonia, and an ex
pedition has been fitted out under the
direction of the wealthy capita’ist,
Senor Lezaina, who has gone thither
to explore and report. Such things
constantly kept the country booming
and give capital a chance to invest.
The republic owns the great Province
of the Missiones, considered the rich
est in the world.”
“The falls of Ygazu, a few miles
above the intersection of the rivers
Ygazu and Parama, on the borders of
the Missiones, are considered superior
in size, beauty and sublimity to the
falls of Niagara. They are mtich wider
and have a fall of twenty feet great
er than Niagara. The volume of water
is not as great as the latter, but for
picturesqueness they go far ahead of
the world-famous falls.”
“How does Buenos Ayres compare
with other cities?”
“It is the New York of that con
tinent. There is no city in the world
to equal it in enterprise and wealth to
its size. It has a population of 450,-
000, and supports twenty eight daily
newspapers. Everybody reads. The
papers cost two and a half cents per
copy. The majority are printed in
Spanish, but nearly every language
is represented. Buenes Ayres has
more miles of street railroads than
any other city in the world. The
houses are generally one-story high.
Of late, however, bank and public
buildings have been erected three and
four stories high. The only building
material is brick. Telephones are
everywhere, and the city is lit up
with electricity. There are twelve
theatres as finely appointed in every
way as any in Europe or the United
States.
“But the city is shut off from the
world?”
“No, only shut off from the United
States. From thirty to sixty mail
steamers arrive monthly and ride in
one of the finest ports of entry in the
world. One steamer departs monthly
for the United States. There are
several lines of steamers carrying
frozen cattle to Europe. One beef ex
tract company at Fray Bentos kill
over 2,500 head of cattle per day.
Emigration is pouring in from Italy,
Spain, France, Greece and Ireland.
The Americans do not come to any
extent, although they would be gladly
welcomed.
The new city of La Plata, capital
of the Province of Buenos Ayres,
twelve miles from the city of Buenos
Ayres, is considered the most wonder
ful place of its size that has ererbeen
built. It contains 30,000 inhabitants.
The city was constructed at a great
expense by Governor Reoha, witliin a
period of five years. The public
buildings are comparable only to.
some of the finest in the United States.
Electricity, telephones and all the
modern improvements are in use.
Millions upon millions have been
spent in beautifying the city and erect
ing handsome buildings.”
“Well, have they many women in
the model city?”
“Ah! yes, and the most beautiful
that eyes ever gazed upon. Mr.
Frank Vincent, author of the ‘Land
of the White Elephant,’ came up
with me. He declares that the Span
ish women in the. Argentine Republic
are the most beautiful on the face of
the globe.”

A LIE WHICH BECAME FAMOUS.
Origin of the Saying “And It
Wasn't a good Day for
Ducks, Either.”
Atlanta Constitution.
In 1800, the year before the war, a
party of northern Illinois hunters
hied themselves to the lakes of Min
nesota for an animal duck hunt of a
few weeks, says the 8t. Louis Globe-
Democrat, making the journey to St.
Paul, which was at that time but
little more than a frontier village, by a
steamer from Dubuque. Among the
party was a chap named Truax, a
proverbial liar, but a jolly, good-na
tured fellow withal, whose predomin
ant weakness was readily excused
if not entirely overlooked, by those
who knew him well. Abe, that being
his first name, seemed to struggle
more recklessly and naturally with
the truth when a ‘ra]kingabouthis prow
ess as a hunter of game than on any
other subject.
One afternoon, as the steamer was
plowing its way through Lake Peyin,
a number of the male passengers were
seated forward on the boiler deck in
little knots, passing the time away in
conversation. Abe was a prominent
figure in one of the groups, and had
already astonished himself fairly by
the whoppers he had successfully got
off, when tlie subject of duck hunting,
tlie mission which himself <tnd friends
were out on, was adverted to. “I’ve
shot a few ducks in my time,” broke
in Abe during a momentary lull in
talk. “How many did you ever kill
in one day?" queried a cross-eyed
passenger from down about Burling
ton. ‘‘You may not believe me, sir,”
replied Truax, “but in the late fall of
’57 I went out alone one morning
about seven miles with my dog and
gun and brought home 200 ducks by
actual count, and it wasn't a very
good day for ducks, either!” “You did
all that alone, and in one trip?” asked
the cross-eyed man as he put down
some figures on an envelope with a
pencil ne had carelessly taken from
his vest pocket. “Yes, sir, I did,"
said Truax, with a tinge of ill humor
to his tone. “Those ducks would
weigh two and a half pounds apiece,
wouldn’t they?” casually remarked
the Burlington man, as be kept on
making characters with hii pencil.
“I should say they would,” remarked
the unsuspecting Abo. ‘‘Well,
then,” said the persistent querist,
“you killed just 650 pounds of ducks;
and if you can tell me how one man is
able to lug that weight seven miles
and carry a gun at the same time, you
can do something that no other liar
in the Northwest can match.” Abe
reflected a minute, and with “That’s
a whopper, isn’t it gentlemen?” he
invited the whole party to the bar to
take something at his expense.
“The remark “And it wasn’t a good
day for ducks, either,” was used ban-
teringlv on Truax during the remain(
der of the trip, and in time it became
common on the Mississippi, whence it
spread until it became one of the pro
verbial Amerieansisms of the time.

The Unwelcome Baby.
[Detroit Free Press.]
“Another mouth to feed,” said John
Allen when the new baby came.
"God never sends months but wluvt
lie sends bread to fill them,” said his
employer piouslv.
"Aye. Only He semis the mouth to
me and the bread to you,” asserted
John Allen.
I guess God made a mistake when
He sent that baby here,” remarked
John Allen, Jr., aged eight, the baby
himself until now.
God never makes mistakes,” an
swered his pale, tearful mother, the
baby’s only friend.
It is sad enough to many people to
have to come into the world at all,
but to come into a world where no
one wants you, to be in everybody’s
way, to have your food and drink
and wherewithal yon shall be clothed
reckoned up and grudged to you—oh,
poor little unwelcome babe, who
would be in your place?
They christened the Allen baby by
the quaint and pretty name of Bar
bara. Mrs. Allen hoped it would
bring good luck, because it had been
the name of a sweet woman who was
dead—her own mother. And it re
minded her of that other Barbara
Allen, and the song she oftenest croon
ed to the baby was that old love song
with its sad refrain.
I suppose the unwelcome baby
ought to have been a pale, pensive
child, Jwho never smiled, if there is
anything in antenatal theories. But
ti uth compels me to say that she was
not. She grew and thrived, and
looked pretty in the bnly clothes that
were hers, the cast-off and out-groWn
wardrobe of John Allen, Jr. And she
just bubbled over with laughter and
cooings, and would be noticed and
petted, as if she come to stay.
“You’ll be late for work, John,” his
wife would say to John Allen.
“One more romp with little Bab,”
would be the answer, as he tossed her
high in Ills strong arms, and kissed
her again and yet again. And when
the man went to his work, there
were smiles mixed with the crow’s-
feet of enro on his face, as he thought
of the baby that at last had found its
welcome. So with them all. The big
sister “wasted her time” as she ex
pressed it-as if time could ever be
wasted in that way—gettiug down
on her knees to worship “that baby.
Ami her voice grew low and soft, be-
cause^of the new love in her heart.
And when little Bab could toddle
about you would have thought them
a family of lunatics. She was their
darling, their queen, their idol. Ah!
it lias been well said that—
God In cursing
Gives better gifts than men In benediction.
When the unwelcome baby had won
its crown of consecration, a voice cal
led, and it weut through the open
arms of God into the new home,
where no child is ever unwelcome.
And Mint was ull -quite ull! No, surely!
But
The child roil cried so, when le-r eyes were
shut.
A Cure For Consumption.
A NOVEL METHOD OF TREATING l'A-
Tl K NTS llKVISKD HY A FRENCH
PHYSICIAN.
A novel method of treating patients
suffering from phthisis is described in
the current number of The Medical
Record. It was devised by a French
physician, Dr. Borgeon, of Lyons,
who has been applying it for two
years to cases of chronic pulmonary
and throat disease. The results are
said to be remarkable. In acute gen
eral phthisis there has been an arrest
of the progress of the disease and a
cure in a few months. In advanced
consumption marked improvement
of symptoms is rapidly secured, night
sweats ceasing and the cough becom
ing less harassing. Two hundred
oases have been treated with singu
lar sucoess by Dr. Borgeon In Lyons,
where the climate is unfavorable for
consumptives. His method has been
introduced in the hospitals there and
in Paris, and the medical authorities
are favorably impressed with it.
The treatment consists of daily In
jections by enema of medicated gases.
Carbonic acid gas when introduced
into the system by this method is
found to be harmless and pajnless.
Sulphuretted hydrogen is mingled
with it, the entire structure of the
lungs is permeated by the medicated
gas and remarkable curative effects
are observed. The carbonic acid gas
is practically inert when taken up by
the veins of the intestines, but the
sulphurious gas reaches every parti
cle of diseased tissue in the lungs and
throat, and is eliminated from the
system in the process of expiration.
The volume of gas used is very large.
At the outset a single litre is intro
duced, but the quantity is rapidly in
creased to ten or twelve litres for each
injection.
The results of this new system of
treating consumption are so well
vouched for that we commend the
subject to the critical examination of
medical circles in this couLtry. Con
sumption is the chief scourge of the
Atlantic seaboard. Any departure in
therapeutics so radical as this French
method deserves to be thoroughly in
vestigated and adequately tested in
American hospitals. Dr. Borgeon
is not a sciolist, but a reputable phy
sician of large practice and good
standing. If his method is as effective
and successful as he asserts it merits
general attention from the profession
in the United States.—New York
Tribune.
G-ood TXesults in Every Case.
D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer
o! Chattanooga, 'Lwm., writes that he was
seriously afflicted with a severe cold that
settle i on his lungs; had tried many rem
edies without benefit. Being induced to
try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption, did so and was entirely cured
by use of a few bottles. Since which time
he has used it in Ids family for all Coughs
and Colds with best results. This Is urn
experience of thousands whose lives have
been saved by this Wonderful Discovery.

“Pellets,” tor *11
[Written for the Y. F. D. of the Cour
ier Journal by Miss Mary E.
Collins.]
A certain mining town of the west*
mn portion of Montana is distin
guished by the following bit of ro
mance which is said to havo been en
acted within its limits: When the
town was but a mining camp where a
company of hardy miners had struck
a new “prospect,” an Indian tribe of
that vicinity made overtures for a
treaty, whereby they expected to ob
tain tobacco and arms in return for
the protection which they offered the
miners against the other savage tribes
of that section. The miners, however,
feeling confident of their own ability
to defend themselves, declined the
negotiations, and the Indians took
offense at what they termed an insult
to their dignity, and true to that pro
pensity of their race to avenge them
selves for the slightest provocation,
at once set about to pica a quarrel
with their offensive neighbors. For
several days in succession they rode in
state through the camp in an ex
tremely warlike attitude, which wa9
picturesque indeed. The central
figure whs a young white girl, fifteen
years old, dressed in Indian style, her
lmir reaching almost to her feet.
Whether this spectacte meant a de
fiant taunt or a challenge for a ran
som the miners could not exactly de
cide, hut one of them, an Englisninun, t
who because he had been educated at
a German University, was called
“Dutch Pete,” was so moved by his
chivalrous sensibilities that he halted
the leader of the red warriors, with
his rifle in hand, and demanded the
release of the beautiful white captive.
Through an interpreter the painted
chieftain replied that if the girl was a
captive she nad been such since her
earliest infancy, when he had taken
her from a train of emigrants on the
plains, and as for surrendering her he
should do no such thing unless her
white brother chose to fight or give in
exchange a liberal amount of tobacco
and ammunition. The miners were
first Inclined to try the virtue of their
rifles without stipulations of any
kind, but satisfying themselveB that
the girl was a veritable savage, and
had no wish to be rescued, they left
the Englishman to make his bargain
as best lie could. The artioles de
manded by the red chieftain were ac
cordingly given, after which the old
savage bade the pale face to take pos
session of his prize. Upon compre
hending the situation the young lady
exhibited no gratification for her res
cue, but kicked and screamed and bit
at her new master like a furious colt.
Seeing her savage friends depart, ac
tually to leave her behind, her frenzy
became so great that it was necessary
to confine her in a cabin under bolt
and bar. A majority of the miners
concluded that they had made a most
unprofitable bargain, and doubted
that the “young wild beast,” as they
called her would ever be tame, and
would eventually kill herself or some
of them before her freak was over.
The Englishman offered to pay her
entire ransom himself out of his first
gold dust, and by sheer force of kind
ness tame her into civilization. In
his undertaking he encountered dan
ger, as well iiH trouble, for the white
savage bit him through his palm ns he
offered her food, anti scalded him
fearfully in the face at another time
with a pot of coffee. Patiently, how
ever, and with unwavering kindness,
ho succeeded in teacning her to speak
English, and finally toned down her
savage disposition till she manifested
affection rather than dislike for her
master, and they ended the romance
by becoming husband and wife.
A man who has practiced medicine
for 40 years ought to know salt from
sugar; read what he says:
Toledo, O., Jan. 10, 1887.
Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co.-—Gentle
men:—I have been in the general
practice of medicine for most 40 years,
and would say in all my practice and
experience, have never seen a prepar
ation that I could prescribe with as
much confidence of success as I can
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by you. Have prescribed it a great
many times and its effect Is wonder
ful, and would say in conclusion that
I have yet to find a case of Catarrh
that it would not cure, if they would
take It according to directions.
Yours truly.
L. L. GORSUCH, M. D.
Office. 215 Summit St.
We will give $100 for any case of
Catarrh that can not be cured with
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Taken inter
nally. F. J. CHENEY & CO.,
Prop’s. Toledo, O.

A beggar, to all appearance slightly
befogged, thus accosted a passer-by:
“Sir would you please give me a lit
tle money to buy a bit of bread, for 1
am so dreadfully thirsty that I don't
know where I am to get a night's
lodging.”

paste, roll thin, cover with berries,
apples, cherries, or any fruit desired,
roll up and lay in a pan, spread bits
of butter over the top, sprinkle with

in the pan. Bake, and eat with sauce.
March, April, May,
Are the months in which to purify
the blood, as the system is now most
susceptible to benefit from medicine.
Hence now is the time to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla, a medicine peculiarly
adapted for the purpose, possessing
peculiar curative powers. It expels
every impurity from the blood, and
also gives it vitality and richness.
It creates an appetite, tones the di
gestion, invigorates the liver, and
gives new life and energy lo every
function of t lie body. The testimony
of thousands, as to the great benefit
derived from Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
should convince everybody that it is
peculiarly the best blood purifier and
spring medicine. [34 lm
