A SkiIIftsI Equine Operation.

Edging around in front OF the animal
the reporter saw that sure enough tube
had been inserted in the windpipe mid
way between the head and shoulders,
through the opening of which the horse
was inhaling and exhaling oxygen with
all the force and capacity OF black
smiths bellows. A little inquiry elected
the facts from Mr.. Woodin. The horse
"a fine large black had formerly been
used as a bus horse for the Bellows
House in Rock Island. Some two
months ago the animal had Il violent at
tack of epizootic-so severe, indeed,
that the larynx, or opening OF the wind
pipe, had been swollen shut, and the
horse seemed likely to die of suffocation.
He was then taken to Matt. Fishers
stables, in Davenport, where veterinary
surgeon cut the windpipe as described
aud inserted siphon-shaped silver tube
about six inches in length, through
which the animal obtained his allowances
of air. The tube has a thin facing, to
which the straps are attached which
keep it in place. The horse does not
suffer the least inconvenience from the
arrangement, and is as full of life as
ever. 1t will be seen that by this mode
OF treatment all strain is removed from
the obstructed larynx, leaving it in the
best possible shape for doctoring. AS
soon as the swelling subsidies and the
natural passage. is again open, the tube
will be removed, the hole sewed up ana
the horse is himself again. As we have
said the horse was used at the Bellows
House before his sickness, but when
Mr.. Jarvis, the present proprietor, took
charge, he shipped the animal down 70
his Island Farm, in exchange for one
that was sound, which accounts for shs
presence OF the horse on our Htree's '

4 discussion in the convention of Ii
brarians at London, brought out some
curious facts concerning the British
Museum. Several speakers advocated
the compiling of a complete catalogue Of
the books in the museum, which, it is
estimated, would cost not less than
81, 100000. 1t would have to contain
10000 titles. A quarter of century
would be taken up in the printing of the
catalogue, and by that time there would
be an accumulation of 300,0 900 to 400, 900
new titles.
The New York san says New York
contains to-day hard ON 1 300, 600 inhabi-

York City 1,S5O,OOO. If, however, we
take in Jersey City and Staten Island,
which clearly belong to this agglomera-

a metropolis, is the second largest city
of the civilized world, containing over

A Wouder of precocifti.

Christian Heinecker was born at Lu-
beck on the 9th of February, 1921.
When only ten months old he could re-
peat every word that was said to him ;
at twelve months he knew the principal
events in the Pentateuch by heart at
two years he learned the historical parts
of the Old and New Testaments'; i'll his
third year he could reply to most ques-
tions on universal history and geography,
and in the same year he learned to speak
Latin and French in his fourth year he
employed himself in the study of religion
and the history of the church, and he
was able not only TO repeat what he had
read, but also to reason upon it, and ex-
press his own judgment. The King OF
Denmark wished TO see this wonderful
child, so he was taken to Copenhagen,
there examined before the court, and
proclaimed to be wonder. On his re,
turn home he learned to write, but his
constitution being weak he shortly
afterward fell i'll. He died ON the 27tl
of June, 1926.

The Fashions.

winter DOnnetS appear IN the revived
coronet shape. Some of these have the
face trimming formed exclusively of
clair de lune beads laid on in close rows
of gimp and dropping fringe. There
are less flowers seen as the season adj
vances. In their place are wavy plumes,
birds, aigrettes, beads and fringes.
The latest importations of trimmings
for costly dresses show still richer de-
signs than the first. They come in large
feathery ferns, odd leaves, flowers,
palms, arabesques, stars and crescents.
All styles of architecture are initiated in
the heavy wide passementeries. Balls,
acorns and tassels of chenille and satin
are introduced in fringe and other orna-
ments; and in other styles are sh hown all
of the colors found in the bourette and
Roumanian fabrics. Braids and gimps
for woolen dresses show all manner of
arabesques, geometrical designs in
squares and diamonds, coral branches
and blocks these may be used as head
ing to hounces, plaitings or to fringes
of corresponding style. Black laces
are beautifully ornamented with colored
silk embroideries, into which are inter-
woven the rainbow and clair de lune
beads. Guipure and thread laces are
still fashionable, and will be combined
with bands of fur for trimming velvet
garments. French lace closely imitat-
ing Ohantilly in design and quality, will
be used exclusively for full ruchings
and plaitings ; into some of these laces
cut Jet beads are thickly interviewer.
The new black net wells are ornamented
with fringes and loops of clair de lune
or modore, and cut jet beads. The two
styles of wells come in the nook shape,
and in a scarf three yards long, which is
gracefully laid over the face, then
crossed behind and brought forward and
tied just below the chin in a large bow,
or fastened with a gold lace pin. They
are made of plain and embroidered net.
Fashion has rarely offered so many
inducements for economy as this sea-
sea-so many pretty inexpensive ways to
make up inside and over costumes, and
SO many accompaniments to dress, unit
ing beauty to utility. One principle
must be understood that it is upon cor
rect contrast and harmonious associa-
ton, and not alone upon the absolute
beauty of the colors, that fine effect
depends. Combinations of materials are
still employed in dressmaking-the
foundation being composed of solid
colored fabric with a relief of some fancy
stuff, such as the Roumanian, Reumelian,
and Turkish moss cloths, or any fancy
material, such as bourette, French cor
duroy, and soft twiiled woolen stuffs.
The front and side cores must be of the
heavier fabric, and the train-which is
set in, in wide plats, in the centre seam
OF the back-is of the plain material with
which the sleeves must correspond. Pip
ing, of. some distinctive color, appears in
all the long seams, and adds finish to
the collar, cuffs, or wherever piping may
be used. This effect is also seen in the
polonaise, which triumphs over all at
tempts to put it down, and comes again
this season in another shape of exceed
ing grace-the long-waisted, slender

Ecce Guam ROnham,

In the last issue of the Ninety-Sia
Guardian, our worthy contemporary
modestly and manfully speaks up for the
interests OF the young journal. The In
hahitants of that town and neighborhooc
will show themselves blind to their owr
advantages if the do not support by al
means in their power the lively newspa'
per that Mr.. insolvency and Mr.. Bon
ham have established for them. 1t is q
well-conducted sheet. edited by an intelli-
gent and enterprising editor. lie is right
when he says that "a good paper is the
exponent which shows to the world the
activity and progress OF q place, and Is OF
~incalculable benefit to that place"
Greenville can testify to the truth o
this. Mr.. Spcights by establishing the
Daily News did more to induce and in
sure the progress of that thriving town
than was or could have been accomplish
ed by n other means. The people, and
especially the merchants of Ninety-Six
should practice a wise s~cltishnnss, and
give their Guardian generous support.
They should put it out of the power, OF
Mr.. Bonham t say that "men in this
community, when they wish to give no
tice OF a sale, or anything Of that sort,
put up a notice on some building, tree or
telegraph post, instead Of adycrtlslngl III

ALTOGETHER LovELY.-General But
Ter and General Gary have healed their
past differences and have clasped hands
over the bloody chasm that so recently
separated them. They are friendly now
and dwell together in unity" We have
not learned how this great change of SEN
timent and feeling was brought about,
but We are pleased that these prominent
citizens of Edgeield are no longer enc
mies. We learn that General Butler Is
anxious that Patterson should receive
immunity for past sins for seating him,
Butler, in the Senate, while on the other
hand, Governor Hampton desires to see
him prosecuted to the extent of the law.
1t is also said that General Butler is now
anxious for General Gary to fill Patter-
sons place in the Senate, whenever it
should be made vacant by Honest
Johns" resignation, or by the expiration
of his term. We believe the sentiment OF
the State at present Is about equally di-
vided as to the proper.course to be pursued
towards Patterson, but as soon as Hamp--
toms wishes are known 1t Is expected
that those who depend upon him to do
their thinking, will lean to his side OF the
question.
