The Now York Sun is one of tlh "outbeatineet".newspapers on this in ter-stellar bal of mud. As a pur voyor of promoter or incorrigibl oussedness it is first--"the rest no wher." It is more porvoraely irri tating and persistently annoying than hives or bay fever, but jus when we are about to lose patiene4 with it and bAcomo desperate, some thing like this appears in its colums We take pleasuro in answering a once and thus promiently the com. munioation below, expressing a the same time our groat gratificatioi that Its faithfil author is numberei avaong the frionds of the Sun: "Dear Editor: I am 8 years old.

The Cruel Knife! The alarming increase in the numbe of deaths which occur as the result of i surgical opetation is attracting genera attention, and a strong sentimen against such methods of treatment i fast developing among the most intelli gent classes. It seems that in almnos every case for which the doctors' treat ment is unsuccetsful, the learned physi class decide at once that an operatioE must be performed, and the keen bladq of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to Doctors are human and of course art liable to make mistakes, but their mis Sakes are toe fatal to be indulged iE promiscuousty, and as so many lives ari aerliteed in this waaner, it is but natura for the public to believe that half tht operations are unnecessary, besides be ing a fearful risk to human life, even i succeauful. It,Is a positive fact, however, that al operations are not necessary, and that a majority of them are absolutely under taken without the slightest chance o success. The doctors have sever been able to cure a blood disease, and a sur gical operation is their only method o treating deep-seated cases, such as can car an scrofuleus affections. Asid4 Irom the great danger, an operatiov never did and never will cure cancer, as the disease never falle to return. Can cer is in the blood, and common sense teaches anyone that no disease can bc cut from the blood. Mere is a case whern the pain inflicte, on asiya-l boy was especiall1 cruel, and after undergning the torture produced by the surgeoon's knife he ra~ Idly grew worse. Mr. J. N. Murdoci the father of the boy, residing at s7 en 4gass street, Dallas, Texas, writes "Whon my son, Will, was si= year old. a smallrsore appeared on his lip wh(ch did not yield to the usual treat sient, but before long began to grow. I g?ve h a- great deal of pain, and con Einued to spread. He was treated b' several good doctors, who said he has cancer, sua advised that an operatioi was necessary. "After much reluctance, we consented and they cut down to the jaw bone which tliey,scraped. The operation wa a severe one, but I thought it was th' qnly hope for my boy. Before a gree while the cancer returned, and began ti grow rapidly. We gave him many rern edles without relief, and finally upon th advice of a friend, decided to try 8.8.5 (Swift's Specific), and with the second bottle he began to improve. After twent: Nottleo had been taken, the cancer die pa red entirely and he was cured h.cure was a permanent one, for he I uow sevateen years old, arId has neve had a sign of the dreadful disease to rc turn." 8.5.8. is far ahead of all other bloo remedies, because ~it is the only on which cures deep-seatedl obstinate bloo diseases such as Cancer, Scrofnts Bceetha, Catarnh, Rheumatism, et< It Is the only blood remedy guarantee Purely Vegetabk containing not a particle of mnercurj potash, or other mnineral Ingredien which are so injuriou~s to the systen 8.8.8.

Tbay have been affeoted by the sceptism of a sceptical age. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a more insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless - world about him, as measured by the 3 intelligence capable of grasping the world of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exists, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Clau'. It would be as driary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to wake tolorable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in senso and aight. The otornal light with which child. hood fills the world would be extin guished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not boliovo in fairies! You might got your papa to hire monl to watch in all the chimnoys on Ch, istmas Evo to catch Santa Claus, but oven if they did not soo Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Clause, but that is no proof that there is no Santa Claus. Tho most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you over see faires dancing on the lawn ? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not. there. Nobody can conceivo or imi agine all the wonders thoro aro un seen and unseable in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noiso inside, but thero is a veil covering the unseen world which not tho strongest man, nor ovon the united strength of'nll tho strongest men that over lived could tour apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, lovo, ro. mance, can push asido that curtain and view and picturo the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all 'this world there is nothing else r .1 and nbiding. No Santa Slanus! Thank God! lie I vo, and he lives forever. A thou. sand years from now, Virginia, nay, ton timea ten thousand years from now, lie will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Coming suddenly upon such a fountain of true feeling andl tendler ness in the desert of metropolitan journalism, one must throw off his armor, fling from him his weapons and fall down to drink of its waters. We forget reoentmnent and irrita bility and almost admit that when "you see it in the Sun it is so. Tho marvel is that so much humanity and sentiment could b)e suffioiently agile to escape the flinty-hearted wielder of the blue pencil. "If you cut into thoem they will bleed," wrote Emerson of Montaigno's or seine one else's essays. Tihere is flesh and blood in the Sun's answer to little Virginia O'Hanlon, of 115 WVest 95th street. The Mintier Who Wasn an Eik. [New York Tribune.]~ "An Episcopal clergyman of Grand Itapids, Mich., who belongs to the order of the Elks," says a member of that order, "attended a meeting the other evening. The chairman, noticing his prosenice, said: '1 see our Rev. Birother - among us this evening. As this is such an .uuuloccurence, I think hewill have to be assessed $5.' The rector put his hand into his waist coat pocket and, marching up to the desk, p)ut down his little V, and I made a nice little speech in which lhe told how. glad he was to be with his brother Elks, and ended by inviting r them to come and hear him preach the next Sunday evening. Some 1one moved that the Elks accepte the invitation and go in a body to their brother's church, whioh was uinan imously carr ed. The next Sunday evening the front pews of the ehurch were filled with Elks, and when Rev. Mr.- ascended his pulpit, lhe said: 'I am delighted to see so many of my borther Elks here this even a ing, bnt as it is such an unusual oc S currence with the most of them, I think they should each be assessed $1 Let your light so shine etc.' The way the silver dollars rattled oii that plate was a caution. The contribu tion was ,mnch heavier than usual, and the Elks voted their reverend brother all right." TNU BANNER OP DATI , A oean cannot straddle the fence when it comees to the queation of good health or Ill - health. Hithor he marohes un der the Rag of health or the banner of death. It is the sisplest thing in the world to gain and keep hsaith, if Uten and women only will. Ftor that reason it is almost incredi. ble that men and women will continue to neglect their health even after they must realize that they are marching under the banner of death. The great majority of diseoase have their inception in iudigestiou, biliousness and impure blood. Among these diseases are deadly consumption. nerve-racking, brain. wrecking nervous prostration and exhaus tion, body-torturing rheamatistn, Insanity. breeding neuralgia, etuaedating malaria and all manner of disfiguring blood and skin diseases. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Di. covery is a cure fr all these diseases, if taken in anything like reasonable time. It is not a enre-all, but cures the diseases men. tioned for the reason that they are caused and aggravated by the same disorders. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion per. fect, the liver active, the blood pure and builds firm flesh and healthy nerve iber. Don't be wheedled by a peunuy-grabbiug dealer Into taking something else. "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cured me of a severe case of poisonig .of the blood," writes Mrs. Senl Ricca, of Coest. Santa Cruz Co.. Cal. " Doils, one after another, would break out on any arms. and were very piaftdl. I have tried the loudly praised sanaparillas without any benefit whatever. and not unti I took the * Discovery' did I get well. ''hat was two years Kg asid I have not had a boil or soe o any kd since." Accidents occur in every hotue. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviset tells what to do.

Aloney In liushmands. Tho "now woian,'' as tho phraiso zoos, is pushing her way into many [low 1ioldsH of industry, but Mrs. Iruitt, of St. Louis, nilet sho in anuch malignled, ham discoverod an )ntirely now tioureo of rovonuo. Hero is tho story is tho wires b ting it: St. Louis, Oct. 1.-According to to Post-Dispatch John A. Truitt, a 1on1ductor on tho Northern Coralrid Alect ri e t reta car lino, wia sold to lay by his wifeor $4,000 to a woman who doclarei that sho loves tho man11 mnoro than hiti wift dJoeqi. The dol was tho tie(giol to the following remiarkablo 81 ittement, imado to Mrs. Truitt by a Mr'-s. Stephens, Who livOs in thin city with her father: "mrs. Truitt, I lovo your husband atnd I want hin. I havo traveled the world over and ho is the first marn I over loved. I will givo you $4,000 cash for him if you will givo himn ip." Trnitt, who is th faf,her of four childron, 80o11 to lagreo to the deail. It is stited that last Tuesday Mrts. Truitt, knowing that her husband loved another, attompted to tako htor life by swallowing mor0 phine. But on Friday she adopted the more unique coturso of coniverting him into monley and livimg to enjoy it, instead of dloinig such' a conventional thing as suiciding. Marny womeni have swallowed mnorp)hmo. it in com muonplace. Bunt so far as the public record goen Mrs. Truitt is the first woman to turn her dlisloyal husband into cash. If this St. Louis episode should become a pre3odent it oper s tip a new road to fortune for women, and places a nowv value on husbands. If a street car conductor sells for $4,000, who shall name the valno of a goodi husband in a more exalted social station P T1he matter is worth looking into. In this era of the now woman men wvill have [to unite for muttual protection. In the St. Loums cane the husband seems to be a willing party to the sale, but if this barter of husbands should become a society fad, wvhat assurance has the fascinating hus band that lie miay not be sold to some very objectionable purchaser simtply because of her ability,to pay a high price. T1hiis is a.serious mat-. tor', and men should assert their rights. Johnson's Chll and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. An Etssay by Tommy.

Sleeplessness, fear of imagin ary danger or disaster, worry and trouble over insigniticant trifles, irri tableness, loss of strength and vigor; each or all indicate nervous prostra tion, which can be prevented or cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine. That ominous dead pain at the base of the brain, those frequent recurring attacks of headache, nausea, dyspep sia; may be permanently cured if Dr. Miles' Nervine is taken. It restores deranged nerve centers of the brain to their normal condition, builds up the exhausted worn-out nerve tissue, gives strength, brings good health and. clearheadedness. ON. W. IL ANDERSON, Cedar Keys, Fla., writes June 18, '96: "I take great pleasure in add ing my tribute to the merit of Dr. Miles' great remedy, Restorative Nervine. Two years ago I had a se vere attack of LaGrippe; my recovery was slow, and I was left in a very weak, prostrated condition. My ner vous system seemed completely broken up. I suffered for months with in somnia, unable to sleep day or night, though utterly worn out for want of sleep. I fell off in weight from 145 to 118 lbs.

"From insomnia to nervous prostration is a short stage, and from nervous prostra tion to conditions and symptoms akin to those of insanity is a shorter one.
