So busy with new discoveries in every trench of science has been this latter half of the nineteent• century, that to turn back to the time when our familiar things did not exist almost dislocates our memories—it is like going back to older centuries. One of the most common occurrences of to -day is the use of t6 laughing gas," or of scme other ana'sthetic ; yet surgeons now living and practising can remember the time when operations were performed on persons abso- lutely and entirely conscious of each stroke of the lancet ; for it is not yet fifty years since Horace Wells of Hartford experiment- ed upon himself with "laughing gas," and made the first breach which has enabled the surgeons and chemists of to- day to complete the mastery of pain. Dr. Benjamin Ward Richardson of Lon- don, who was present at the introduction to Great Britain of practical anxsthetics, has contributed his recollections of the won- derful event, indicated for centuries, yet stunning in its effect when finally it occur- red, and momentous in its power to change the destiny of human life. Before the in- troduction of anmsthetics operations were simple, comparatively few plastic operations could be performed ; but the introduction of ether, chloroform, nitrous oxide, and cocaine has broadened the powers of the surgeon as much as the subjugation of electricity has extended the power of the business man. In the oldest days of medicine, says Dr. Richardson, mandragora was used as a po- tion to reduce or remove the pain of surgi- cal operations, and Pliny gave a prescription for a wine of mandragora—a prescription which Dr. Richardson himself followed with success. ice, applied to the skin, had been found to produce local anaesthesia, and compresses applied bef are an operation had been tried by Ambroise Pare and others TO LESSEN PAIN. In 1799 Humphry Davy discovered that nitrous oxide gas rendered him who inhaled it obvious of the common sensibilities. But after Davy came a delay of over forty years until Wells of Hartford experimented with that same gas; and, treading on one another's heels, came after him Morton, Jackson, and Bigelow of Boston, with their discovery of the properties of sulphuric ether. The first operation in England in wbich ether was given occurred on Dec. 19, 1846, when Dr. Booth and Mr. Robinson extract- ed a tooth from the jaw of a Miss Lonsdale. On Dec. 21 or 2.2 the great surgeon Liston administered ether for the first time in the theatre of the University College HospitaL "Among those present on that occasion," writes Dr. Richardson, "was my old friend, Dr. (afterwards Sir John) Forbes. He de- scribed to me that he never felt so near to falling on the floor in all his life as he did when he witnessed the great surgeon Lis- ton amputating a thigh while the patient was in deep sleep. In those days, in order to save pain, the surgeon cultivated rapid- ity of action, and such an adept was Liston that he completed the removal of the limb within the minute. This, combined with momentous result of the annihilation of pain, was the cause of the sensation experi- enced by Forbes. It was not fear, it was not faintness; it was au emotion painful, as he expressed it, from its overwhelming surprise and pleasure. Everybody seemed pale and silent except Liston, who was flushed, and so breathless- that when he broke the silence with the word `Gentlemen' he almost choked." We who take everything for granted simply because we are accustomed to it do not understand readily what the introduc- tion of anxsthetics meant both to operator and patient. Dr. Richardson indicates to some extent the changes produced on the minds as well as the actions of men ; and a history of surgical operations, could one be made, would show the effect more clearly. Says the doctor : "I remember, still even with pain, what operating day meant as each week came round. When I asked my first practical teacher how he thought I should get through the ordesl of seeingand takinga prtinan operation, he replied that, as in learning to smoke, time brought tolerance, but that a man must keep his hand in if he meant to retain his firmness and PRESENCE OF MIND. recall that when I had to witness the first capital operation I sought the companion- ship of a student much older than myself; but it turned out that he was more nervous than -1 was, and prudently left the operat- ing theatre as the patient entered it. I made up my mind to face the ordeal brave- ly, and for a time I was quite taken out of myself by seeing the consummate calmness and dexterity with which the operator—the late Prof. Lawrie of Glasgow, ' one of the most splendid operators' (I am using his dis- tinguished rival. Sir William Fergusson's own word) this century, or any century, ever knew'—proceeded in his painful task. ' The quicker the surgeon, the greater the surgeon, was then the order of the day, and such was the rapidity in this case the opera- tion was actually over, in so far as the ma- jor part of it was concerned, before the patient uttered a single cry. If all had stopped there, all had been well : but just at that moment, as if giving vent to a long suppressed agony, the patient uttered a scream that went through me, and, in spite of the tenderness and firmness with which the nurses assured him it was all over, con- tinued to scream and struggle, so that he had to be held while the final steps of the operation were performed. Some of my new comrades became faint and some left the theatre. I turned over, but kept my legs, Saw in a kind of haze the man being carried way, and came back to thorough conscious- ness listening to the short lecture which Dr. Lawrie was delivering in relation to the reasons for the operation, the manner in which it had been conducted, and the hances for and against recovery. " Unless a man kept at work in the oper- ting theatre, he never, in those days, be - me hardened to the business. Even then he hardening was not permanent, and Dr. wrie told me that he never woke on op - rating day without feeling a load of care er-anxiety that would not wear off until thelabots of his day were ended. "In this he was not alone, forCheselden, e leading surgeon of the reign of Queen ne, and the first to restore sight to the blind by an operation, to whom one of his ateful patients addressed the couplet, So swift thy hand, I could not feel The progress of the cutting steel, ver undertook an operation without be- g blancher`. fad experiencing a sensation anxiety that, ems like a seizure, which 1 his moral courage could scarcely con - a c a ca La an th An gr If the €ntrodn, en of anat.'s -thetics made 4i a change fer the operators, shat did it to the paints ? Speaking generally, we ts�Q chat ;nt thembeyond the reach of pain. Dr. Richardson says that the pa- ti ants approached the table sometirn6et in a sort of trance, always nerved up for their ordeal. The women faced the operations BETTER THAN THE MEN, as a rule, and two facts impressed them- selves on bis mind, that he rarely knew a person whose mind was made up to under- go the operation shrink from it at the last through fear of pain, and that he rarely, if ever, saw a patient shed tears during the operation. Submission to the necessity of the ordeal was followed by a sort of holy courage, which lasted until the operation began. Then came an almost certain change of view, and insistence that the operation should be stopped at all risks ; and then a request for the proceedings to finish as rapidly as possible. These different plead- ings, says Dr. Richardson, "frequently re- peated, became stereotyped on the minds of the observers so distinctly that the actual stage of any operation might be cal- culated from them by those accustomed to the proceeding." Besides few cases of weeping there were few faintings during those old operations, unless froth loss of blood. The patients were too much occupied in mind to faint, and the pain seemed to be a stimulating antidote. This fact actually stood in the way of the progress of anaesthetics ; for some surgeons declared that it was bad practice to annul pain, because it was a good stimulant and kept the patient up to the mark. To nitrous oxide succeeded almost imme- diately chloric ether, and then chloroform ; after that came methylene, introduced by Dr. Richardson ; and now, to produce local anaesthesia, coca andits products are used. Meanwhile has sprung up a new school of surgery. In January, 1847. _Dr. (afterward Sir James) Simpson administered ether in a confinement case : and since then have oc- curred those wonderful achievements of abdominal surgery," so common nowadays that the ignorant know not how wonderful they are. One objection offered by a surgeon to the use of anxsthetics bas been mentioned. An- other objection was that man was born to suffer, that pain was a part of the course o Adam, and that the annulment of pain w a sinful and opposed to the divine decree. In answer to this, Dr. Simpson showed that the first operation performed on man was the ex- cision of a rib from Adain, out of which to make man, and that before beginning to operate God Himself cast the man into a deep sleep. We can laugh now at the ob- jection and the argument ; but fifty years ago it was on such objections and arguments that hung the question of the continuation or cessation of the conquest of pain. Canadian flosses in England. The following extract from the London Daily Graphic will be read with interest: "At a time when Canada is ask- ing the mother country to consider the question of a preferential tariff for t;anadian exports, it may be of interest to know that one export from the Dominion to England is increasing and thriving. It is horseflesh, the market for which in the United States has been closed to Canadians by the Mc- Kinley tariff impost of 30 per cent. on the declared value. It now pays better to ex- port the horses to England, where, although the cost of collecting the horses and of bringing them over is considerable, the very good prices paid for them makes it fairly worth the while of the importer. The horses which pay the importer best are heavy draught horses, but those imported by Mr. R. W. Ffolkes, of Acton, and which are for the main part hacks and carriage horses, realize very good prices. ' At the last sale, which was the sixth, the prices averaged £65, and the highest price realized was 160 guineas. Among the horses sold by Mr. Ffolkes yesterday were : Florence, a bay mare, sold for 75 guineas ; Emperor, a black gelding sixteen hands high, for 80 guineas; Tom and Jerre, brown geldings, a pair of well -matched carriage horses, for 140 guineas ; and Boston, bay gelding, for 110 guineas. The horses are farm bled, and are bred generally from English sires." An Interview with the German Emperor. The -Pall Mall Gazette of London publish es what is described as a chance interview between Emperor William of Germany and an Englishman, who had taken shelter m a shed from the rain while walking from the Grunewald forest to Charlottenbnrg. After the traveller had been in the shed a few moments, a man wearing a forester's uni- form entered, also to take refuge from the storm. The newcomer took a seat near the Englishman and opened a conversation with him. In the course of the chat the English- man somewhat severely criticised the Ger- man school system, which he alleged made slaves of the pupils. His companion took a different view of the subject, and defended the system in the main, though he express- ed the belief that someehanges would shortly be made. The conversation turned upon the Emperor, whom the Englishman praised as a bright young man. He thought, however, that his Majesty ought to read English news- papers more and consider the criticisms they contained. To this the German re- plied that he happened to know that the Emperor did read the foreign newspapers extensively, and, furthermore, that he was never angry at what he saw in them, as had been falsely reported. The Englishman finally summed up his commentary upon the Kaiser by saying that hewould un- doubtedly turn out to be a great man. " He has a sense of duty to God and men," he continued, "and he has energy. if he only acquires modesty he will succeed, if—" " If what?" interrupted the German. " If the condition of his health does not prevent," added the Englishman. " I thank you for your good opinion," re- sponded the man in forester's garb ; with God's help I shall do the best for my people. I myself am the Emperor, Pray tell your countrymen that I like their straightfor- wardness." With this the Emperor rose, extended his hand to his astonished companion, and with the parting words " Leben Sie wohl !" tepped from the shed and resumed his ourney, the storm having passed away. s j Badly Tangled. "Chi -chi -children," began a timid young man, who had just been appointed superin- tendent oftheSunday-school, "of course you are all familiar with thestory of the swallow that whaled Jonah--er--er--I mean the swale that wallowed Jonah—er—er—that is, the whale that Jonahed—nm—um—the Joliow that wonahed the swale—I mean—er—the jail that swallowed wonah—er—er—gug— gug----�� (chokes). I presume, brother Sims," said one of the teachers kindly, "you mean the Jonah that swallowed the--er—er— that is—" " Ye—yes, sir," responded the timid young man ; " that is ei hat 1 mean !"

" How irrigating this is !" he cried._ t s TROT—GALLOP—CHARGE ;The Feelings of a Cavalryman When in the Jaws of Death. A regiment, brigade, or division of in- fantry may charge at a run, but the move- ment is as often made at a steady step, so the alignment can be maintained nearly perfect. With cavalry it is always " Trot —gallop—charge !" There is therefore, an excitement about it that puts the fear of death away. Cavalry in waiting -may ex- hibit signs of nervousness, and the faces of the men will grow pale and fingers clinch more tightly, but when the advance begins those same pale faces flush with excitement and every man feels like cheering and does Omer. It matters not what you are charging against—lines of infantry, a battery, or masses of cavalry—there is no mental figur- ing on the result. You feel. yourself a part of a living wave which is bound to roll on and on and overwhelm everything before it. This result does not always follow, but you forget that. A charge of cavalry has been completely checked by two or three murderous volleys, but no such instance occurs to your mind as you grip your sabre and feel your horse strong and steady under the saddle. What are the thoughts of a cavalryman as he charges ? It would be bard for him to answer. He does not always know what he is riding at. The lines may have been facing the west, where the enemy was visi- ble at the edge of a wood or behind fences a long way off. A danger threatens which even his officers with their glasses have not seen. An aid rides up, delivers an order and the lines wheel to the south and go rushing away as if the fate of the battle de- pended on the few hundred men. The smoke may float about so as to obscure the vision, or the field in that direction may be perfectly clear—it's all the same to the rider. He is listening for the further notes of the bugle ; perhaps having some trouble with his over -exerted horse ; looking at the earth immediately in front to guard against ditch or log or stump. He cannot tell whether he has galloped eighty rods or a full mile. Bullets are whizzing about his ears, but there is no ducking and dodging. The scream of shell comes to his ears above the dim of the charge, but he does not wonder it it is in line with him. It may explode to his right or left and blot out three or four men and horses, but he simply hears the explosion, and does not turn his head to ascertain what attended. Of a sudden a mass of cavalry appears before him. They were quietly moving around for a charge on the flank, and this movement is to check them. They were marching by fours, but have wheeled into line, and there is some confusion among them. He has only observed this and heard the shouts of their officers when the shock has taken place. After that no man can say what really happens. The horses meet head on. Scores of them are knocked down. if you are in the front rank you may be tumbled out of your saddle by a shot from a revolver, your horse dropped under you by a bullet in the brain, or you may strike your enemy and roll him over and over and then go down after him. If you are in the rear rank the horse ahead may stumble over some obstruction or be- come one himself, and it is nine chances to one that you are unhorsed. It is a melee, a riot, a free fight after the collision. The smoke speedily obscures, all formation is lost, and friend and foe are sounding bugle calls at the same time. You are there to strike—to wound and kill. The entire mass of cavalry seems to be circling to the right or left. It is sometimes so, but you would have the same idea if ad- vancing or retreating. .You • fire your re- volver at the half -hidden figures before you —you may fling it at some of them when it is empty. You may be thoroughly up in sabre exercise, but you will use only the down cut in the melee. How long has it lasted ? You have no idea. What has happened? The enemy has retreated, overpowered and defeated, and all at once you recognize the " rally " call of your familiar bugle. The troopers rally, horsed or unhorsed, lines are re-form- ed in a confused way and presently the smoke thins out until you can see the field over which you have fought. Wounded men limping and crawling about—horses galloping wild and furious, or dead or wounded on the earth—dead hien here and there until the number is over a hundred. The lines move back toward our original position. Horses are panting and men in- clined to be hysterical Within ten min- utes you cannot find a face which does not show pallor -a trooper who is not trem- bling. That's a reaction of a charge into the jaws of death. He Denied,Everything- He was brought up before the magistrate on the charge of drunkenness. Do you plead guilty or not ?" " I don't plead at all." " You don't deny having been drunk ?" "Yes, I do—I deny everything." "You certainly don't deny having been here before ?" " I should smile ! Why, Judge, I deny being here right now. I deny everything. I'm on the deny, I am." " You are? Well, there is nothing like self-denial, and the best place to practice it is in the county jail for, say, thirty days." Hereditary Feature.—Mrs. A.: " What black eyes that baby has !"

Rheumatic Pains Require no description, since, with rare exceptions,_ all at some time have ex- perienced their twinges. Rheumatism is not easily dislodged, only the most power- fully penetrating remedies reach to its very foundations. The most successful treat- ment known, and it is _ now frequently re- sorted to by medical men, is the application of that now famous remedy for. pain—Pol- son's Nerviline. - It is safe to say that nothing yet discovered has afforded equal satisfaction to the suffering, and no matter how bad the case may be Nerviline is sure to cure it.

Matching of Teeth. Perhaps the greatest difficulty that den- tists meet with is the matching of false teeth with the natural teeth of their customers. The tooth factories supply dentists with rings upon which are strung thin short metal bars, each carrying a tooth at its ex- tremity. There are twenty-five of these sample teeth, that run all the way from nearly white to a shade that is almost olive. Some one of the twenty-five usually almost matches the patient's natural teeth, and, at any rate, enables the dentist to match the teeth by application at the factory.
