Journalism Extraordinary.
The New York Herald of las

The New York Herald of last
Sunday was an extraordinary
paper. It was presented in sex
tuple form of a pages. being the
largest regular issue ever made
by any daily newspaper in the
history of journalism. It con-
taips 4 ,437 advertisements, filing
1861 columns, being three times
as much space AS the advertise
ments in the London Times. The
public are quick to see the ad-
vantages Of advertising in the
most widely circulated and most
enterprising newspaper in the
world.-[Cotton. 5s

Tommy Cculter's New Nose.

Crowds of visitors are calling
daily AT Bellevue Hospital to see
Thomas Coulter, the patient who
is now TIE possessor OF nose
which was but recently bis mid
die finger. About three weeks
AGO the plaster of Paris bandage
was removed from his face, aud
careful examination showed
that the finger had grown fast to
the site Of the former nose. DR..
Sabine decided at once to sever
the hand from the twa ioiuts
which were thereafter TO serve
as nose. Tommy was rendered
partially unconcious by the use
Of anaesthetics, and the amputa-
ton was performed without much
trouble. During the two months
in which the finger had been
growing to the face the blood had
tetreated from the hand and arm
because of its peculiar position,
leaving them as white as snow.
Shortly after the operation, the
tube through which Tommy
breathed was removed from its
position in The lasynx. The pa
tent is at present in peculiar
position. In order to have a
shapely nasal organ the second
joint of the amputatei finger WAS
crooked so that the elbow forms
the top of the nose. The end OF
the finger was stitched to the
upper lip in a neat manner. The
next step in the process was to
remove pieces Of skin from he
cheeks and forehead and allow
them TO grow on the lacerAted
and stitched portions OF the
new nose. The consequence
is that there are no nos
trils at present, and Tommy
breathes through lis mouth and
ears. Ii order to avoid this To-
convenient mode OF inhaling and
exhaling an operation is shortly
to be performed with view to
providing the new organ with
nostrils. CouIter's articulation is
good, bat his voice sounds as.
though he were speaking through
rams horn, The Surgeons in
charge Of the case are contident
that they will be able to remove
this impeachment very easily.
The wonderful patience which
Tommy displayed during his try
ing ordeal enabled them to oper-
ate with more success than in
ordinary cases. 1t is proposed
to remove all scars from his face
by the progress of skin graft..|

at the same time while they do

How an Indian Runs Down A Deer.

J
ter takes his aim, and making q
slight noise with his foot on the
ground, which causes the deer to
turn toward him, has d good
chance to hit it in the middle of
the forehead. But if he misses
the mark, Or his gun misses fge,
then the fan begins in earnest,
and one OF the finest races in the
world can be witnessed-a naked
Indian and frightened deer at
full speed. Ii the deer should
happen to be not more than
year old, it is of no use following
it, as it will then outrun any In
dian, and run longer without
giving out, but if two or three
years old, or older, good run-
ner will bring it down in a fe"
hours, or certainly within fifty
or sixty miles. (The narrator
Jose Mendivil, here insists that
a good runner among the
Apaches can run one hundred
and twenty-five miles in twenty
four hours easlly.) The deer
starts at full speed, making long
leaps Of from ten to thirty feet.
At first he gains rapidly on the
Indian, but the latter follows,
every now and then uttering
frightful yells, but never for a
moment halting or losing the
trail. The deer, when cut OF
sight, halts and looks back, but
soon his pursuer comes in sight,
when he bounds on with longer
leaps than at first; finally he
makes for water, a spring Or
stream. and when be gets there
halts and drinks all he wants.
Now there is no hope for him, for
after he drinks he cannot run 80
fast or leap SO far. Pretty soon
the Indian comes in sight again,
while the tired deer re IS a mo-
ment, but the tired hunter never
halts to drink, not if his mouth is
as dry as ashes, for by so doing
he not only loses time, but can
not run so fast afterward.
On he goes, never resting,
either on the hill or on the
If the deer takes to
the top Of the highest mountain,
right on his track the Apache
follows. By and by the Indian
sees a blood stain on rock,
where the deer has stumble and
skinned his knee or struck his
nose. He knows now the race
will soon be ended, and runs
faster than at first while the deer.
loses ground every minute.
When the deer sees the Apache
close upon him he stops sud-
denly by a rock or bush and
turns. Sometimes as soon as he
stops he drops down fainting, o,
even dead from fatigue. II not
dead already when the Indian
seizes him by the head and hind
legs he makes but little resist
ance and is despatched with the
knife. The hunter now cuts out
a fine piece and eats il, takiag
not a moments rest for fear Of
stiff, but puts the deer on
his shoulders, or if too heavy, q
part Of it, placing the rest in
secure place, and then trots back
10 his camp, having travelled per-
haps a hundred miles without
resting. The next day some one
will take his back track for the
balance of the game.-[San

This field for exploration has been con-

systematic effort has been made by
American scientists to gather together
the valuable treasures to be found
along the Pacific slope, and our coun-
try is sadly neglecting the trcasuring
up of her own historical monuments
