A Great Surgical Feat-A Man GRATED
Like q Tree.
From the Sedalia (Mo.) Times.

The case Of George Gardner, of this
city, who, as our readers may remem-
Der, had his foot crushed on the III. *.
and I. r. r., some time since, has given
rise to an experiment and result in
surgery of great interest to the profess
sion and destined to command the at
tention of scientific readers everywhere
A report of the case will doubtless find
its way to the medical journals, but we
may, without improperly, give an out
line Of the experiment.
1t has always been difficult to cause
the healing of wounds where any large
surface of the skin was gone, as nothing
but skin will produce new skin, and
this only for a short distance (less than
an inch) around the margin. Hence,
in making amputations, it has always
been considered necessary to preserve
flap of skin to fold over the exposed
end of the limb in order to form GOV.

IN Gardeners case the patient was toe
weak to admit Of amputation, and il
was a question Of life or death to save

not so large as a grain of wheat were

TO be the most clearly defined and EN-

the United States, and as such will ur
doubtedly excite much interest in SC

FREE Administration family to
family, from city to city, from state to

TABLE VINEGAR BITTERs as a specific for
all arrangements of the stomach, bowels

Every invalid who tries the great res

witnessed its effect, becomes its spoa-

THERE is great deal of theology in
the idea of the little girl who wished
she could be good without obeying her
dying grandmother. She said it was
easy enough to read books and pray,
but pretty hard to mind grandmother.

THERE OCCURRED touchingly beauti-
full incident at the close of the recent
conservation service at the new Episco-
pal church in Steuben, n. Y. The
Courier of that place says that during
the conservation service proper, heavy
clouds overhung the sky, the rain fell
steadily, and, the gas giving out, deep
shadows, amounting almost to gloom,
overspread the church and the vast au-
dience assembled. The conservation
ended, Bishop Coke requested the class
for confirmation to present themselves
for confirmation within the chancel. AS
the little host-there were tfty-five in
the class-moved toward, all at once the
clouds lifted, the glorious sun burst
asunder the prevailing gloom, lighting
up the scene with a heavenly radiance
and impressing every beholder with that
sense of admiration and reverence FOL
the holy scene.

A GOOD JOKE is told of little four
year-old fellow who, having disobeyed
his father, was about to incur the pen
alty-a switching The father deliber-
ately prepared rod, while his son stood
a sad and silent spectator. AS the pa
rent approached to the unpleasant duty
the boy started at brisk run toward a
neighboring hill. The father pursued,
and for a time the youngster increased
the distance between them; but gradu-
ally his strength began to fail, and when
he reached the hill and began to ascend
he soon lost his vantage ground. Nearer
and nearer the irate father approached,
and just as the top of the hill was reach
ed, and he came within arms length of
the little fugitive, who was ready to fall
from exhaustion, the boy quickly faced
about, dropped upon the ground, and
with an Undesirable cast of counte-
nance exclaimed Papa, that-makes
a fellow-blow-don ?' This chang
ing Of the subject was so extremely
ludicrous that the father laughed heart
lily over the strategy which his hopeful
son exhibited, and the rod was not used.

The Local Attraction ef We1,an

Here is an argument for the Natiss. which
opposes woman suffrage upon the ground
that the introduction of the element of sex
into politics would insensibly but inevitably
dernnge the conduct of the public service:
IAN English commander found his steam.
ship some thirty miles out OF her course.
He was sorely troubled. and could not &C.
count for the local attraction that had cent
him 50 fur out of the way. Instruments and
calculations appeared equally faultless.
sorely troubled from having passed sleep
less, watchful night, the captain went on
deck after breakfast. Seeing . lady sitting
(as was her custom) and working near the
binaaclc, it occurred to him that propably
the scissors were resting on the edge of it.
Detecting nothing of the sort. and bent on
closer investigation, he discovered that the
chair had an iron frame It also reasonably
flashed across him that the ladys ample
crinoline was extended by steel hoops So
mastering all his facultics, he exclaimed
with as much forgiveness and q little re-
proach in his eye ~ possible, .Madam, you
have, by your local attraction, drawn my
ship some thirty miles from her course"
Such being the magnetic influence of wo-
man. it is perhaps we'll to consider how far
her presence near the helm would cause the

Korn dodgers arc made out ov water,

When you kant drive tenpenny nail
