fof hDOut u year llille Hlfl, ten
years of age, has been a patient in the
county hospital, Chicago, suffering
from a burn so extensive that the or
binary treatment by skin grating
hopelessly failed TO effect cure. II
was therefore decided to try the ex.
pertinent Of trsnsplanting a large sec
ton Of skin partially detached from
a healthy subject, the girls twelve
year.old brother conserving TO he ilayed
for his sisters sake. Drs. Lee and
Feuger conducted the operation, which
is described as follows by a reporter
Of the Chicago Tribune: A curious
box had been constructed under the
supervision Of DIR. Murphy. II re-
sembled nothing more than a pair Of
scissors opened out, except that one
part was about four inches higher than
the other. On one face of the cross the
little girl was laid face downwards.
On the other the boy lay on his side
so that his leg crossed his sister, the
part Of the thigh from which the skin
was to be taken being just over the
burn on the girl. The children were
kept unconscious during the entire
operation by the use of ether, and
two assistants constantly directed the
vapor Of carbolic acid on the wounds
of both the boy and the girl. The
surgeons then cut from the boy's thigh
a leaf Of skin four inches wide, FIVE
inches long. leaving il attached by
the under side. The wound Of the
girl was then cleared Of its decayed
matter. The flap Of the boys skin
was then laid on the wound and
stitched to the outer edge Of the skin
about the wound, without cutting the
edge. which rendered il still a part Of
the boys ileshy covering. This was
done to secure the vitality of the boy
for the skin which is expected to grow
to be a part of his exhausted sister.
The boys wound was ugly in appear
ance, but the skin had been separated
or dissected so neatly that il will be
easy to heal over by the usual process
Of grating. The children, as they
lay in this position, were so bandaged
that they cannot possibly tear the flap
Of skin or move from their position.
Thus their dual existence was begun,
which will last about three weeks
BY that time the success of the oper-
alton may be known. During that
length of time the boys vital forces
will be in a measure transferred to
the assistance Of his sister, and, at
the end Of that time, il is hoped that
the transplanting will be complete
and the skin firmly grown on the
burned portion. The iiapis not quite
large enough, and, before the skin is
finally severed from the boy, still
further portion will be dissected and
applied to the remainder of the
wound. The little girls pulse drop.
ped considerably toward the close Of
the operation, but she was revived by
the application to the nostrils of a
cloth dipped in brandy. The opera
ton was a success as far as il went,
and, il nature takes hold in the man
ner expected. the brave boy can con
graduate himself on having saved his
sisters life.

ROMANCE READING. - There is
nothing good comes from the intellect
alone. All true sentiments, all noble
and all tender telling, comes not Of
the understanding, but of the mind
or heart, if We so please to call it,
which imagination raises, educate.
and perfects. Even feelings are to be
made-are much the result OF educa-
ton. The widest romances will, in
this respect, teach nothing wrong. II
is not true that such reading enervates
the mind. We firmly believe it
strengthens it in every respect, by un-
claiming it from a low and cowardly
caution. 1t encourages action and
endurance. We have not high ma.
lures till we learn to suffer. We
have seen the unromantic drop like
sheep under the rot of their calami
ties, while the romantic have been
buoyant, and mastered them.

his last illness, in 1870, lived sixty
three days with but a spoonful Of
water daily. The character of his
disease was such that he was unable
to eat, and his prolonged fast, which
was followed by death, created a good

death he was eighty years old, and,
