A Triumph in Horse Surgery,

The success OF Griffith G.. Williams, a
merchant of Utica, in treating and saving
valued horse that had broken leg, is
proved to be complete, and it naturally
attracts much attention, and provokes no
little discussion among men who have to
do with horses. The practice from all
time has been to regard a broken-limbed
horse as ruined and to kill it. In view of
Mr.. Wil!ams's experience, it may not be
uninteresting to recall the circumstances
and the treatment.
The animal was black mare that
easily made her mile in three minutes, a
model Of grace and beauty, and of such
excellent disposition that women and
childen drove her with safety. Mr..
Williams valued her at $1,000, not so
much for her speed as for her rare COM
bination Of good qualities. A twist in a
rut broke her right hind leg between the
fetlock and the gambrel joint. The
break could not have been made in a
worse place. The advice of veterinary
surgeons that she be killed was disregard
ed. The mare was slung up in blanket
and precisely the same treatment was
given as is employed in broken limbs in
men, The bones were placed carefully
In position, the limb was bandaged, and
then set in plaster. In six weeks the
animal could bear her weight, and in
seven weeks she was taken from the sling.
AT tie broken part there was consider
able enlargement, and there was not
wanting evidences of the limbs weak
ness. The case was widely commented
ON at the time, and the prediction of those
who saw the mare and of writers who
Joined in the discussion was unfavorable
to the getting of any practical service
from her. The New York sportingjour-
mails in particular expressed the opinion
that the cost and bother must come to
more than the animals worth, even
though the operation were successful.
This was in March, 1876. The repre-
sentative of the Utica Morning Herald,
who has visited the mare within week,
pronounces her absolutely cured and
seemingly as sound in the injured limb
! as she was on the day before it was
broken. The enlargement has entirely
passed away, and the mare spins around
the Driving Park track or over the smootf
Oneida County roads at her old-limt
three minute gait as readily as before
While moving at her fastest she shows ne
sign of having been injured. She is th'
mother of promising Hambletonian col
tive months old. Experienced horsemer
pronounce her absolutely as good as pre-
vious to The accident. The total cost O
the treatment was less than 500.
Mr.. Williams who is something of |
horse fancier, is strongly of opinion tina
nina ont of ten similarly broken lep
may be reset and the horse saved by thu
simple process he used. Whether thi
be so or not, it is plain that veterinary
surgeons cannot longer ridicule his ex
pertinent; and it is altogether quite pos
sible that he has opened to them nev
door for study and practice.-N. Y. Sun

For fifteen years Thomas Conroy has

FOR PLANTING
CRAP ES.

Any soil that is sufficiently rich for
garden vegetables, is rich enough for
grape s. Very wet or heavy clay lands,
however, should not be selected, unless
first we'll drained. Plant either eight,
zen or twelve feet apart, usually ten feet
apart is best. Spade the soil about one
foot deep, and plant vines six or eight
inches deep, without placing any man
ure in contract with the roots. Their
alter trea atment is very simple and can
be easily practiced by all. After plant
Ing, cut of the canes so as to leave only
two or three buds. A little latter allow
one cane to grow, selecting the strongest:
Late in the fall cut back one year OLD
vines to four buds, and two year Old
vines to within two or three feet Of the
ground. Then bend canes 10 srcuhu,
covering them with little soil, or straw
or evergreen boughs. The second year
allow two Of the strongest canes to grow
from each plant, trimming OF a little
of the new growth each fall, and giving
a slight protection each wiDter.-W eStefn

The Experiment Of the Co Education

The Experiment oft Co Education
qfthe Seres.
oBERLIN, Ohio, Nov. 1.-THE educa-
tional institutions of Oberlin have
always been regarded as furnishing a
conspicuous ex ample Of the benefits TO
oe derived from co-education of the
sexes. To all objections that have been
onei ed, the answer invariably has been
returned "No scandal has ever blolted
the iair fame Of our village or its iDsti-
tutlons, and years of trial have given the
experiment thorough test" From all
parts OF the country have been gathered
here some 800 students, some 25O of
whom are ladies. For their government
a strict code of rules has been enforced.
They are required to attend payers In
the morning, al noon, and at 5 P. NJ.
Al 10 o'clock t hey also have prayers, and
before retiring they have prayers again.
AS the inhabitants go through very much
OF the same Programme, some idea may
be formed Of the morals of Oberlin. On
Thursday evening at 6 O'Clock the mer-
chants close their places of business, and
under pain Of losing trade are expected
to attend prayer meeting.
| One Of the strictest rules of the col
lege is that which requires ladies 10
be in their rooms by Z. o'clock and
gentlemen by 10 O'Clock, and to remain
In their rooms for the remainder Of the
night. A widespread violation of this
rule has lately been discovered. For
a number of weeks some eight or ten
students OF both sexes have been hold.
ing clandestine meetings. On a starry
night they made their escape from theiI
rooms, some by the back stairs, Other
by convenient roofs of summer kitchens
and others still by knot.ing together
several sheets, the rope thus made being
securely fastened to the furniture, anC
affording risky but certain means o
Preaching the ground. Among those who
thus violated the rules were two pretty
Isirls-one from Michigan, aged 81 th'
other from the city Of Mansfield, not ye
out OF her teens. Each OF these girl
had two devoted admirers, and carried
on double courtships.
The morning after one OF these meet
ings, one Of these young women begaI
to reflect upon the possible'consequences
For several days remorse preyed upoI
her, and. seeking sympathy aud advic
she counseled with trusted classmate
She was advised to go to her sister
home, in neighboring town, and con
Tess all, and on the following day, afte
obtalning permission, she sought th
house OF her relatives. Her sister wa
overwhelmed with grief, but iDstructe,
her to return at once to Oberlin an,
state her case to the lady principal. Th'
result was an immediate meeting Of th'
faculty and the prompt expulsion Of tn
offending students. Six were expelle
at once, and Investigations are progress
ing that will probably result in the ex
pulsion OF others.
One professor said to-day that
would rather have all the building
burn to the ground than have such
thing happen. 1t was blot upo

blow at the co>ed ucation OF sexes.

50 Sir Leonord Fioravanti, of Bologna,
states that when in Africa he saw q quar-
rel between a Spanish gentleman and q
military officer, in Which the latter
struck off the nose of the formery and it
fell in the sand. The surgeon washed
it in warm water, carefully replaced it,
bound it up, and at the end of eight
days foundsitI perfectly healed. Tall
acotus records aasimilar case,1 in which
ia man, losing bis nose, left it in the gut
ter while he pursued his opponent. On
his return the nose was applied, and ad-
hesion followed DR. Bartheleny re-
cords the case of an officer at'Lyons, in
1915, who had the end OF This nose cut

replaced it, and adhesion followed. q DR.!
Reynault givesia case in which . nose
adhered after it had been bitten off and
kept in the owners pocket for five
hours. Garengeot, q celebrated French
surgeon, asserts that he has seen q nose,
which had been bitten off in q quarrel,
thrown upon the ground, allowed to
cool, taken up, fixed to the face and
made to adhere again ;Qand he records
in his third volume that M. Calm pro-
duced similar union when large por-
ton Of nose had been bitten off and
spit out in dirty gutter. The soldier
who had lost it pursued his adversary,
and the nose was replaced on bis return,
