THE DOCTORS DISAGREE.
COULD THE sIAMEsE TWINS HAVE BEEN SEP
ARATED-DR. SAYRE SAYS YES.

ARATED-DR. SAYRE SAYS YES.
The Chicago Tribune has the following
from Philadelphia regarding the autopsy of
the late representatives from Siam: Dr.
Louis A. Sayre, professor of orthopoedic sur
gerry in Bellevue hospital, New York City,
came to the city Yesterday and examined the
bodies of he Sismese twins, now lying at
the college of physicians. The professor,
who is a most distinguished surgeon in his
specialty-the deformity of the human body
is thoroughly convinced that these twins
might have been separated in life with per-
feet safety by simple process well known
in the profession and frequently practiced,
most often in cutting horses tails of. This
process is to run a silver wire or piece
of silk through the centre Of the band. By
tying the ends together and making a stric
ture around the part of the band encircled,
the tight impression would cause the wire
to gradually cut through the band, the
flesh sloughing away until the whole struc-
ture was cut in two. The severance in this
way would have been gradual that the
shock to the system and the danger of peri
tonitis would have been avoided. The ar
terial circulation between the two was so
slight that when one twin was chafed by
the doctor at Apollo Hall, New York, in
1S43, though his pulse increased greatly in
rapdity, that OF the other was perfectly
regular. The doctor was then convinced
that his theory could have been carried
out in practice. The professor, then a
young doctor actually proposed TO attempt
1t; but the twins preferred to continue their
profitable partnership. He removed to New
York at midnight. The hearts, livers,
and other viscera of the bodies have been
removed, and are preserved separately. The
bodies, according to DIR. Sayre, are in a
remarkable state Of preservation. owing to
DIR. Pancoast's skill in embalming. They
are now subject to the orders of the families.
A detailed scientific report, with a large
number of drawings. will be made in a week
or two, and published either by the Smith
sonian Institute or the Philosophical Soci-

INDIANAPOLIS EarcN :, ISL.
We invite your attention to the following
points of advantage possessed by Indian
apolis, and solicit correspondence with you,
with view 20 securing your residence and
business tn this city.
l. We are the most centrally located city in
the United States. -.t
2. We are the nucleus of the greatest net
work of railroads in the world.
g. We are near the point OF the funnel
through which the whole west and south
west cattle trade must pass on its way east.
4. We are near the center of the corn belt.
5. This, with our climate, gives US great
advantage in pork packing.
6. Our numerous competing trunk lines
of railroads give US superior advantages in
freights, making us one of the best whole
sale centers in the west.
Z We have inexhaustible deposits near
the city of superior quality of coal, which
can be delivered in the city for steam pur-
poses at and cents per bushel, and which
makes as good iron as charcoal, without
cooking.
8. We have vast deposits of iron ore
within a few miles of the city which viii
largely take the place of Lake Superior ore.
| 8. We are in the center OF a timbered
| region which is unsurpassed in the world
| for quality, variety and quantity.
1 10. The Ohio river on the south, and Lake
| Michigan on the north, gives us a peculiar
geographical position near the centre of a
marrow belt through which everything NOV
| ing from the east to the west or from the
west to the east by rail passes.
ii. We are building the only complete
| double-track belt railroad around the city in
| America, thus bringing every mandatory
which locates on it, or any OF its switches, in
direct communication with every part of the
vast network of railroads which surround Us.
u. Indiana has the largest school fund OF
any state in the union, and indianapolis has
fully awaited herself of this advantage.
l3. Our city debt is only IA per cent of the
taxables.
IA. Our entire state, county, township and
city tax is only 81 rs on the 500.
Is. II is claimed that statistics show that
we have the lowest desth rate Of any city in
the United States. Address

A FIERCE OUTBURST.
THE ELEMENTS on THE RAMPAGE.

THE ELEMENTS on THE RAMPAGE
The thunder, hail and rain storm was very
severe for an hour or so last evening. The
hail at some times was so heavy that there
was some CONSERVATION as to the safety OF
windows. There were some persons who as
serted that there were hailstones the size of
hens eggs, large marbles and such. At all
events it was heavy shower, and
reporterial eyes saw stones at least as
large as pins head. The streets for time
resembled those of Venice, being completely
overfowed. All of winch brought up the
old subject of sewerage. In front of the
Bates House the overflow exceedingly
heavy. Pogues run, as usual on such occa-
sions, got on high. For short timethere
was but small opening in the arches at
the east end of the union depot. To
add to all the gas was not lighted
as perhaps the almanac said that the
night of the 3rd of March was to be moon
light. The lightning however was vivid
enough to allow pedestrians to keep in the
middle of the road. At one o'clock it was
all over and the moon could be seen and the
southern breeze was speaking in gentle tones
for pleasant morning, sir.' fh

EDITOR WORLD:-In my last letter from
Fairvew, promised to write to you again. and
will keep my word good by writing to you from
the so called liveliest mining camp on this coast.
In strolling around the town. / notice uulner-
GUS old citizens of Idaho City and vicinity. and
all like to glance at the WORLD for it looks like
an old and we'll esteemed friend to them. At
present there are but two mills running here;
namely: New York g. Owyhee and Cosmos,
but am told that the Ida Elmore will start up
soon again. These three mills are the prihci-
pal ones in this camp and have the capacity OF
crushing and milling some seventy tons in
twenty.f -four hours, and usually keep eleven
four horse teams busy in hauling quartz to
them.
Amusements are plenty, and the people here
seem to appreciate it, for there is dance every
Wednesday evening. and skating at the rink
every afternoon and evening, besides which,
Mr.. G.. c. Patton, formerly Of Centervie, has
organized a dramatic troupe, who will give en-
tertanments once a week. Mr.. Patton is the
leading star and manager of the concern The
editor and one of the compositors of the IRA
lanche are the leading attractions among roller
skaters in this place, and am told that they
challenge any one in this Territory for either
grace or swiftness in movements. The IRA

ASHES AND BONES FOR GRAPEs.-We are
fully convinced of another fact regarding the
FERTILIZATION of the grape, which is Of the high
est Importance. Animal excrement or stable
manure we regard as unsuited to its successful
cultivation: or at least it is far better to em-
ploy the fertalizing agents which are so largely
found in the plant-structure and in the fruit.
Potash, phosphoric acid, and lime are great
food staples which the grape demands, and they
cannot flourish unless these elements are abund-
antly supplied. We fertalize our vineyards
and grape borders with unleached ashes and
dissolved bones, and obtain most abundant re-
turns-Dr. Nichols.

alpacas may also be restored almost to their
first beauty by using thimblefal OF borax dis

with nail-brush. If the dress skirt is much
worn and soied around the bottom, add fresh

which is also worn on the edge-and cover the
Joining with q newer and simpler trimming
made of the upper founces. The reaction in
favor OF plainly trimmed skirts is making itself
evident daily. We do not mean that dress
skirts are most usually made entirely plain,
but. as an excellent French authority says, bor'
dered skirts, not flounced ones, are the fashion.
Instead of being covered with trimmings OF
one kind in front, another sort on the sides,
and third behind, there is now strait around
the skirt border, perhaps of Aounces, or it
may be of folds, but quite narrow, and giving
a most artistic finish to the costume. For this
border on silk dresses use single hounce fully
gathered and edged with narrow pleated
rufle, and similar pleating for heading. or
else have two pleatings four or five inches wide,
overlapping, and headed by a cluster of very
small folds. A single pleating is also consider
ed sufficient border for cloth and heavy wool
dresses. All this conduces greatly to economy
as three or four yards of silk now serve for
trimming, instead Of ten or twelve formerly
required.

The Horticultural gives this timely caution
to planters of trees and shrubs: A mistaken
opinion seems to be entertained by many that
any manure will do for trees and shrubs, and
the amateur planter thinking that wood mold,
chip, manure, and decaying sods from cesspools
will prove desirable, at once uses them freely
in filling up the holes dug for new trees. Per-
haps no greater injury has ever been done IN
horticulture than the recommendation. by ex-
perienced writer's, of "chip manure' as
dressing. It's danger arises mainly from its
disposition to spread fungi, which inevitably
arise in soils naturally little moist and tena-
cious; and when once formed they spread with
astonishing rapidity, totally preventing growth
and finally killing the tree or shrub.
