EXTRAORDINARY srReICAI orEaAr.ox

The new antiseptio method Of sur
gerry which has but recently been intro.
duced into this country, has been twice
successfully tried at the Alexian Broth
ers' Hospital, Chicago, during the past
three weeks. In each case a leg was
amputated, and the patient rapidly re-
covered, experiencing no pain whatever
from the uso Of surgical instruments.
The method Of operation is as follows !:
The surface of tha limb to be- ampn-
tated is first sponged with solution Of
one part carbolie. acid to forty Of water,
into the wound This makes the oper
alton perfectly painless. The wound is
then dressed with oiled silk, saturated
with sulphate. OF lead, which indicates
the presence Of the sulphate Of hydros
gen by turning black, and shows
whether the wound is suppurating. Six
layers Of medicated ga1ze are then
placed over the wound and the whole is.
covered vito Mackintosh CLOTH.

1t Is often said, and not without
some truth, that friendship between
men endures through trials and tests
that would break between women a
thousand times over. When men con-
clude to trust one another, that is the
end Of it. They trust absolutely and
wholly but between members of the
other sex there always seems
to be mental reservation, Just enough
to insure break at the least Jar. Cas-

Speaking Of how a man goes to bad.

"John, come to bed, and not keep the
gas burning here all night, and mur,

the cold sheets, while John sits u1acid-

rises, yawns, stretches himself, throws
the paper on the floor, and ;seixing the

Then he discovers that there is coal

More than once the dancer begged to
be allowed to stop, but that pistol,
held by an iron hand, kept him NOV
ing. Had the weapon been aimed at
his head or heart, he might have run
a risk of the mans firing, but he
really believed that the irrate trav-
eler would as lief break his legs as
not.
At length the visitor went to the
Fireplace and discharged his pistol
up the chimney, and the Major was
suffered to sit down. AS old Pompey
passed him he stopped, and bent
over and whispered into his masters
ear

Major Manloy opened his eyes wide.
There is no knowing what he might
have done, but as he was starting up,
pale and afIrighted, his visitor, who
had heard Pompey's revelation, put
out his hand and said, with a smile;
"Hold on, Major. Not word. If
you can be satisfied, can. Let us
have a bit of repose-a bit of punch
with it,"
The punch was brought, and as
soon as the host could regain his
spirits, jollity ruled the hour.
OF course the Major had to tell the
story of the coming of his illustri-
Gus visitor, and through the weak
ness Of old Pompcy the rest of the
scene leakedout.
