the expression in refen nee to a dead mill,
it's too suggestive of combustion Job had

een at that earl) ill was a war like en

quiet, but the secret liiull) came out on
I11111, and tlie) advised him to have It
lanced. When the boil appeared, he stood
it like a man He stood it because it hurt
his feelinira to sit down There are cases
in w Inch it is w ell to treat a boil w ith resi-e t
and stand erect in its presence. even if )ou
can't meit it face to face Job tinall) had
to eit his supper off the what-not in tint

while that eer) loafer of a boil in his vot

a Job and select linn. He bore It all like
a Christian, and managed todrle them out
at last b) stan ation pure and simple starvation-total
abstinence from food and
raiment. Hence the origin of Job printer.
The other di) I felt a sudden twinge in
the back of the neck I was present at the
time, and tne sensation was unpleasant. I
consulted a physician and he told me it was
nothing, but charged one uonar ior ine ab

the cost, if it had been something. Next
morning the place smarted again and I went
to a ph)siciau of another school.

lteltat that instant as if I were going to

of boils whether it cost much to keep

trouble after all. Ihe doctor slid did I

to think that it had been going on behind
my back for nearl) a quarter of acentur).
les, the boil w. is there, it looked like a
single sohtar) measle If anvthing could
grow on that bleak and desolate looking
neck it was a good one.
I asked the doctor w hat was to bo done.
He said the boil must be bnught to a head.
I answered w ith some irritition that the
neck was as close to tlie head as 1 cared to
have it. He expliiued that it
must be hurried up. so It would

said no, b.it I must use a nax-seea poultice.
When, according to the accepted recipe for
new spiper humor, I asked. "Inteniallv or

extended all around Ins neck. If he should
ever hipjien to have a boil where I had it,
and should smile, he would break it the

I too high. This confused me, but I said 1
that the elevator ran up lour stones and 1
didn't mind the other flights much, except
once or tvv Ice a w eek after a full meal.
The doctor helped me on with mj overcoat,
and just as he got the garment up to the
wish-bone and was pulling like a traction
engine, with both knees braced against the
author of these lines, his right fixit slipped
and he caught me with a dull thud on the
boll. I thought I should die for a minute
or two. I didn't care about dying any
longer than that. The doctor turned white
but after a critical examination of the
wounded bi) -window, said it didn't matter.
It felt like it was about to, though.
1 left the doctor and bought some flax
seed. I next got soap and w ater and took
su. h steps as caution suggested to keep the
flax-seed from sprouting. I had a poultice
constructed out of the flix-seed and ap
plied it to the boil Outside of this 1 got

the stamp-clerk, while that gentlemin went
to supper The clerks and carriers all gath

though some racket was brewing. George

and spoke as fol mvs:

only awaiting his coming to par

Congratulations were offered on all

NEW SURCICAL TABLE.
ASprlnellrl.l riij.lclan Trlrs III. Hiod In
Getting Up J"t What He WailU.
Dr. Hussell has had a new surgical table
of his own invention, placed In his office,
which Is very unique. The table is capable
of being folded up into er) small compiss,
and when closed may serve as a revolving
center table. It is the full length of a man,
is constructed of heav y two-inch cherry,
eighteen Inches wide. One end is cut out
so as to receiv e the two legs separately.
The pieces are hinged at the knees and are
capable of being adpisted at aur angle de
sired, each independent of the other.
'Ihe leg supiKirts, when not in use,
hang down out of the way. The remaining
part of tlie table is hinged In the center,
permitting of the elevation and lowering of
the head and shoulders. This, too, will
be made adjutable at any angle desired.
The support to the table is of Iron, well
bracecl.abd pivoted with the bearing through
tlio floor aud well secured to the joist. B)
this method the whole arrangement can, if
necessary, be lifted up and taken aw a), and
when in place, does not harbor dirt, but on
thecontrar), can easily swept and kept
clean around It) being made to revolve,
either extrennt) can be brought to the most
desirable ositioii for any oiieration. Th-n
the form of the table admits of the patient
being securel) bound, making it possible
for a surgeon to handle even a violent case
almost b) himself. If the doctor concludes
to put Ins table on the market, he claims he
i an sell them at half the price of the cheaj
est now in the market.
