(Continued from last week)       *"
cn&iast spring  I"\ operated  on a
of about 18 years of age taking
P«ui-& her  tonsils.    I   thought nothing
^-fore af it except Cb-otleed  that the
'^fcar of the girl ':.*m  very  grateful
•i appreciative and seemed to be a
£* > floe type of an edocatedGhinese.
gJ__few days ago, I received a telephone
Neell asking if I was to be at the _»os-
for a while as Mr    Lbin   wished
present me with a congratulatory
b$e£. I did not know what it was
about but aaid I would be at the
SSosijital. About half an hour later, I
^eiard tbe noise of drums and horns
3|uph~aa are used at weddings or at
lj_U5»rals, but it was a little different
rrtooked out of tbe window and saw
>iRht^men carrying a gayly bedecked
'and decorated chair covered with a
little elnopy. In tbe^ eb-ir 'in place
of « person a tablet was resting and
os tt I recognized my name in Chinese.
!7#ebic<i the carriers came a nice Cbi-
^wteff/*mtt carrying tbe girl on whom
klTh*** operated and ber father. Tbe
-*rr*«ier came to the front door of the
haot»pttsl and thenthe muaic(?)stopped
'And the father __d thegirlgotoutof the
«art and came inatthe door. Of course
1 g_reete<Ltbem io my be_t mshiver and
asked them --to be seated, but tbe
'fa har was master of ceremonies and
I was the guest even though it was in
nsy clinic rcom. I was most graciojis-
ily bowed to a seat and tben four mep
eame in bearing-the tablet which was
.about 15 inches by 30 in size and was
-oade of brass and cloisonne work
-very beautifully done.. On the front
surface were four Chinese characters
deer, in cloisenne worn wbich when
--translated " meant something to the
effect that among surgeons I was cue
<rf-_he first rank. Then it also bore
my name and the came of the giver.
-The n*ten bad brongbt -'hammer. * big
brass nails and all the tools necessary
te fasten it to tbe wall and it was up
in abort order; the donor choosing
the most conspicuous place on tbe
wall for its location. He then gave
*taa his card and wrotertbe translation
out in French. ., Further conversa-
j^c-arV-ritb him brought! out the fact
.that be was one of the veryiflret^ Chi
r»e*e students to go abroad for study
^bont 50 years ago.; He,had been to
America tbree times and _-«__ spent
several years in France. Wben he
LUrst went to America there was no
trans continental railroad. He eaid
momma very liice and complimentary
-_h_ajge abont America. My wits bad
dererted me, but the clinic? coolie
fortunately kept his head and brought
weeoe tea from some where and so did
_*&>■*-tterly smash all customs and etiquette. The coolie also suggested
l*bat I bad best give the bearers of
the tablet a tip. I had only a 20 cent
piece and a few coppers in my pocket
•nd ao had to borrow a dollar from
rthe «*sh drawer. ' jr   •••*".-; '.
A very- pretty wedciIng waa solemnized on Thanksgiving Day at 1 30 at

it does not draw on the vitality of the

the milk flow because a cow will not

In a word, the whole *;_cret of the

are forced out by steam expansion every time It get!? fined up. The Yellowstone park is a region which not so
very long osro was fiercely
In that role it 1ms ceased,to jriay an
alarming part, but locally the earth's
crust is extremely thin. A very literal hell rages not jfar beneath the places frequented by tourists, and th£n<_e
Is derived the heat that causes thfe oat-
bursts of the geysers. /

The phrase "amen corner/* is said to

Slang Among the Ancient*.
An ancient use of a modern slang
idiom was mentioned recently by T. EL
Peet, the lecturer 'In Egyptology at
Manchester university. _, He said that
the Egyptians always used the verb
'*to do*r in referring to a visit to'a

Young <jalves ought to have new

weaned from new milk to skim milk,
and at three or four weeks of age you
can, take the -kin* milk away from
them by substituting a combination
uf grains and hay, or any other dry
forage that they win coompne. Then
gradually teach them to eat whole
grain, like voeta and corn, ted give
