A strange story of a surgeon go- ing mad 'senile performing an opera- tion: is reported by the at. Peal's - burg correspondent of tee "emelt Journal," The scene was Chita, in Siberia, and the doctor's - patient was a working man whose condition ad- ntitted•of no delay, He was chloro- formed, and tem assistants bad placed everything ready fur use by the doctor when the latter, much to their surprise, began to make. ier'elevenrt, remarks. He took pup his bistoury, however, ant made the required incision with his usual skill and precision, his as'sistanta being thereby reassured. Suddenly he burst into a laugh, saying that •all their trouble was useless, adding "It would be better if we finislied hum off with a stroke of the knife," In a flash the assist- ants realised that their chief had gone mad, and one of them placed himself between the doctor and the patient, whilst the other threwi himself upon the lunatic and en- deavored to wrest the knife from his grasp, With maniacal rage the doctor struggled with his assistant, while the nurses fled from the surgery in terror.Another' assistant, how- ever, with ready resource, con- tinued the operation already .be- gun, and when the madman had been overpowered sueeesefu'lly completed it. The doctor has been placed in an asylum. THE BIRD CAGE DANGER. Poison Gets Into the Sy'steiu Through Carelessnt 5s. Bedsteads and birdcages are among the sources of plumbism- the deadly lead poison disease -ac- cording to a report by Dr. Robert Edginton in the current "British Medical Journal" on the industrial diseases of Birmiugham, "In put- ting together chandeliers and gas fittings, white lead is used in the joints," he says, "and it is the cus- tom of the workmen to test the joints by sucking the air out of the tubes, so that in this ease the lead is. probably conveyed directly into the stomach," The process which figures highest (with seventeen cases in a list of ,eight -four in- stances of plumbism) is the paint- ing of motor -car and coach bodies, safes, and stoves, whose glossy, en- jamel-L'ike .surfacer exacts nil heavy toll from the workers owing to the lead dust inhaled during the repeat- ed and sand -papering involved in securing aperfectly smooth surface. House painters come next, and on the same level as regards fre- quency •of poisoning arc the girls who smooth down the paint of bed- steads and birdcages with their lierelr,to get an enamel -like surface.

Aged Couple Prefer to Sleep Under the Stars. • Living near Womenswould, a somewhat remote district of East Kent, England, aro two remarkable disciples of open-air life. One is known as "Molly," who is 80 years of age, anti the other is her son "Billy," aged 60, who is a chimney sweep. "Molly," and "Billy" are inveterate-lrielievers in fresh air, and carry their convictions so far that they will not have a roof above their heads. For 14 years they have lived in a chalk pit hews -en inclement the weather may have been. Some time ago a friend pre- sented them with .a hut, thinking they woulcl appreciate it. They slept in it for one night, but the next morning they set fire to it, de - elating that it was "too stuffy a place to sleep in," One morning in the depth; af win- ter "Billy" found a foot and a half of snow on him when be awoke, but he said "it was quite warm underneath."

Lc son II, The. life giving telrealn, Ezek. 47.'1-12. Golden Text, Rev. 22. 17. Chapter 47. -This chapter be- longs to the third!' and last great section of the .latter half ofthe book, -chapters 40.48 -which sat. forth, a vision 4f the final glory and peace of the redeemed people of Israel,- The preceding chapters of the section give an account of the temple buildings, and of the ordin- ances of the temple. The two clos- ing chapters, including the lesson, deal with the life-giving stream is- suing from the temple, the bone- daries of the holy land, and the dis- position of the tribes. Verse 1. Brought me back - He had been in the outer court of the house of the Lord, There the peo- ple were aceustomecl to worship. Now . he is conducted into the tem- ple proper again, Ezekiel, belong- ing to the priestly class, was mi- nutely familiar with everything that pertained to the temple, as an ex- amination of previous chapters will quickly show. It must he borne in mind, of course, that he is still in the land of captivity. What he de- scribes is part of a vision. Waters issued out --This figure evidently hadits basis in the fact that there existed a fountain, in connection with the temple hill, from which the waters flowed into the valley east of the city and so made their way toward the sea. This stream had, before Ezekiel's time, supplied a. beautiful figure to the prophets (compare Isa. 8. 0). The Orientals enlarged upon the blessings brought them by such streams of water. This passage west the basis of Rev. 22. 1-2. Right sidle of the house - This! would be the south. The stream' pursued its course eastward, pass -r ing the altar on the south side, and coming forth into the open on the, right hand of the outer east] gate. 2. He brought me out -As both • the inner and outer east gates were chased (Ezek. 44 and 46), the pro -1 phet was led from the inner court by way of the north gate, sound to the outer east gate, where, from the outside, he saw the stream emerge into the open at the south side of the gate. 3. Theman-He is not to be Iden- tified with Jehovah, but is an. im- aginary being, a symbol of the re- velation of God. He has the attri- butes of God, being bright like brass (Ezek. 1, 7), and speaking with authority (Ezek. 40. 3-4). The line in his 'hand was of flax, and was used for measuring gre-ter dis- tances, as the reed was used for shorter. With it he proceeded a thousand cubits (about a third of a mile) from the point where the water emerged from the gate. At the beginning the stream barely "trickled forth" (margin to verse 2), but already it has become ankle deep. 4 -5. -The water rapidly deepenc until, a mile from. the -temple, it dies become deep enough to reach a man's 1' ins, and, with another thousand ciibits, it becomes an im- passable river, one that man can- not pass through unless he iavinl. So God's blessings grow more and inure abounding as they flow on from life to life. This is the first fact about the river of life -its full- ness. It is a picture of the new era of restored hupe and felicity in Israel. God is enthroned in the temple, so the waters are repre- sented as issuing from the sanctu- ary. Whatever blessings are en- joyed in the better clay will be from God, and there will be an abund- ance about them that will leave no- thing to be desired. 7. On the one side and on the other -The river flowed down through a gorge, or valley, and, as was usual, there were trees on ei- ther side. This suggests Freshness and fruitfulness. The Paradise on the first page of Scripture, as well as that on the last page, bad trees on the banks of the living streams. The righteous man is like a tree planted by the river, There he is perpetually nourished. The palm tree of the East attains its fall per- fection only as it is planted by the seater, 8. Into the Arabah-This is the depression of the Dead Sea, and southward as far as the grill of Akabah, a distance of 105 miles.

Whose leaf Shall not wither, -Compare Psalm 1, and Rev. 22. 2, The leaf is a thing of the spring - then, ' But, with the godly man, it has a perennial freshness; The storms andfrosts of the year can- not blight it, for it draws stores of hope and promise eternally from God, Moreover, iL• is for healing, The sympathy of the godly man is a potion of healing for the wounds and sorrows of the world. Neither shall the fruit thereof fail. -There is a seasonable fruit- fulness, as well as an undying fresh- ness about the good man's life. The end of the good man's life, its purpose, is fruit. The freshness and beauty are form full of pro- mise. But the tree must ever reach forth to the bearing of fruit, as it will always under the enrichment of the divine life,. ANCIENT COINS.. Jar Full of Gold and Bronze Roe man Meloy Discovered. A find of gold coins was made by two workmen at the Roman ex- cavations at Corstopitum, the old Roman city near Corbridge, North- umberland, England. This season tee excavations have been conducted in a new field to the west of the excavations made in former years. The coins were in a :small' bronze jar, and as Mr. Fost- er, the director of the works, was not present at the time,the foreman took charge of the coins. When an examination was made it was found that there was 159 gold and two bronze coins in a. very good state of preservation. They ranged from the period of Nero to that of Mar- cus Aurolius. The largest number were of the Emperor Trajan, 51 in number, The ancient coins found at Black - hills, Corsock, K'irkeubrightshire, some time ago have been submitted to an expert on behalf of the crown. A number have been retained for the National Museum of Antiqui- ties and the crown propose to re- ward the finders for those kept, handing them back the remainder. All the coins are silver pennies, with the exception of a silver half- penny and a siker farthing. The pennies includes Scottish (long cross) coins of the reigns of Alex- ander. III., John Ballo", and Ro- bert the Bruce. The Irish pennies belong to the reigns of Edward h and II., and had been minted at Dublin and Waterford. English pennies of the same reigns were minted in' London, Durham, Cant- erbury, Berwick, Bristol, York and elsewhere. There are also a num- ber of foreign "sterlings," The halfpenny is of the reign of li dweed I. and was minted at Berwick,- while erwick;while the farthing, minted in Lon- don, is supposed to belong to the same reign or that of Edward II. ---1 --- s iCLE llln-1ll '10 RIS NEPHEW On the One 13rit'elers Treasure Whiek all Men Skase, .,like.
