The OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD
At recent meeting of physicians in
Bogota, DR.. LUZ Hernandes read a paper
of unusual interest. 1t was an account of
visit he paid to one Miguel Soils, half
breed farmer living in the foot hills OF the
Sierra Mesilla.' The remarkable thing
about Miguel is that he gives himself out
as $50 years old, more or less," and his
neighbors believe it is a good deal more
rather than less. Gray headed men told
the doctor that they remember Miguel as
reputed centenarian when they were
boys; also that the name of Miguel Soils,
colored farmer, appears in q list, still pre-
served, of the contributors to the building
fund of Franciscan Monastery near San
Sebastian, which was founded in 1911, and
and that the present a blot is positive it is
the same man. The doctor found the old
fellow at work In his orchard-parchment
skinned, robust, active, his snow white
hair twisted turban fashion around his
head, and his eyes so bright that the doc
tor felt uncomfortable when they were
turned upon him. Questioned as to his
habits, Miguel told the doctor that the Sc
cret OF living a century or two was very
simple-merely never getting drunk and
never overlooking.
II eat only once day big hearty meal,
which often takes me half an hour to get
through With; but you see it is not posi-
BILE in half an hour to eat more than you
can digest the next twenty-four.'
He went on to say that he hadn't made
up his mind about meat, but did not eat
much of it; he tasted on the first and mid
die days of each month, eating nothing,
but drinking all the water he could swal
low; he always let cooked food cool before
eating it; that was why his teeth were as
sound as $50 years ago 1t is hardly ne
cessary to add that all the Indians in the
neighborhood firmly believe that old Migu-
ell has sold himself to the devil.

BLooDLEss AMPUTATIoN. the
last five years surgical science has made
some wonderful improvements in It's opera
tions, among which may be mentioned the
grating of human skin and freezing with
ether spray tumors to be operated upon;
but nothing that modern surgeons have
achieved is so calculated to ease mankind
and preserve life as the invention of the
Esmarche bandage for performing blood
less operations. 1t is an invention of very
recent date, not yet in use by all practicing
surgeons, and almost unknown to the ply
sicians of the back country. There is used
an elastic bandage of rubber and cord,
called from the French surgeon who in
vented it the Esmarche bandage, which is
wrapped very tightly about the leg or arm
to be operated upon. The wrapping be-
gins at the extremity of the limb and is
continued to point about the place of
cision very tightly. The wrapping drives
all the blood from the limb. AT the top of
the bandage tourniquet is placed, which
gives a heavy pressure upon the principal
artery. The bandage is then removed, and
the operation is then performed. Ampu-
tations are made by this plan where the
knife is unstained, and not drop of blood
is shed during the cision. The flesh is
white, and the operation may be perform
ed with more ease than when, as formerly,
the blood was squirting forth. All the
blood of the body is saved to strengthen
the patient. BY this method hundreds of
lives have been saved during last year.
After the limb has been amputated the
blood must be allowed to flow little in
order that the arteries may be discovered
ard bound up. In no case by this method,
is over an ounce of blood shed. By the
old method patients often died on the am
putatlon couch, or soon afterwards, from
excessive hemorrhage. Like all new
methods, it is blindly rejected by old
school physicians, who regard Nothing good
save the antiquated.

And about rs much water fell in half
IN hour as is often seen. And Sunday
night. who can tell how much it rained
that night? The water carried out two
bridges in the south part of Westside.
Whereat the people laugh. Those
bridges were put there by order of the
Supervisors of Westside, when they
were of no earthly use to any one, not
team having ever crossed them, as
any one has heard Of, and they were put
there year ago, while there are almost
impossible places needing bridges on
main lines of travel in the same locality.
hut bridges in those places might bene-
fit some one outside OF Westside.

is again heard il, the land. No less than
four are running now in this town; one
