and Women eager to "express them-
selves," but rather a growth, an or-

the past. Thb observation is per-
fectly, true. The question -with the
men and women of the last century
was not one.. of lighting a fire that
never bad burned till they were born,
but rather one of passing cam a torch
that they had received from the great-
-souls that had gone before. No men
were ever less slaves to tradition

Revival of Ancient Practice in Ito
tse in Surgery.
Moss in medicine and surgery is
no new thing, but a revival of a very
old practice. Mosses are of many
kinds, but that pa -titular member of
this extensive family which is now
serving mankind so well in the mili-
tal°y hospitals in Great Britain,
I met., "fiat ;iia, Italy, Egypt, Meso-
potamia., and in various other lands;
is called cphagnu moss.
Sphagnum moss grows in :great
quantities on. nearly; all the wet parts
of the moors and mountains of Stet-
land,
tetland, and in other parts of the world.
It is a feast to the eye, with its
variety of beautiful colons ---pig,
crinas;on, yellow, green, and russet—
:and it forms anal. a wonderful, • soft
carpet underfoot that it has been
'sound to be of the greatest value in
making surgical dressings for the
wounded, on account of its e#zitaar
dinary absorbent qualities. In the
British isles thousands of workers
have been busy gathering, cleaning,
and drying urge quantities of this
ioss, and many depots have already
