TRANSPLANTING HUMAN
FLESH.
philadelphia Record. !

TTansplanting human flesh has always
been considered a difficult operation; hut
the success attending two TCmaI kauie
operations of this kind recently per
formed 10y DR.. Richard j. Lewis, at the
Pennsy lvania Hospital, has attracted
the attention of the entire medical pro-
fessiOn. The subject that received the
severest cutting from the surgeons
knife is coal miner named John Della
ney, from the Lehigh Valley district,
who received terrible injuries about the
head and breast by the explosion of
can of blasting powder. The accident
happened five years ago, and after the
wounds had healed the man was hOTTi-
bly, disfigured, presenting a sickening
appearance. The head was drawn so
far forward that his chin had grown
fast to his breast, while the eyes were
without lids. 1t was impossible for him
to shut his eyes, and food could be taken
with only the greatest difficulty. In
this condition life was misery to the
unfortunate man, while his TepulsiYe
appearance was no less q source of an
nOyance to his friends. In this con-
ditiOn he came to the Pennsylvania
Hospital about fifteen months ago and
was placed under the care of DR.. Lewis.
The head was first brought to an up
right position by what is known as the
plastic operation. The flesh that held
the chin down was cut, and to prevent
this new wound from drawing the chin
to its former position it was covered by
skin turned up from adjacent parts of
the breast. The chin was held in pO-
sitiOn by props and bandages, and with
in a few weeks time the patient was
able to hold his head erect.
But the eyes were still a source of
great ANNOYANCE to him. The upper
and lower lids were burned off, leaving
the inflamed edges turned outward.
The upper lids we're supplied by flesh
from little finger which it was neces-
saTy to amputate. The application
healed, and in a short time Delaney re-
turned home greatly improved in ap-
peaTance. He was able to partially
close his eyes, but the under lids were
still sore. A few weeks ago he came
again to the hospital, and was supplied
with new lids taken from the flesh of
an arm. This application was no less
successful than those that had preceded
it, and in a short time the man was
able to leave.
The second operation performed by
DR.. Lewis was one requiring even more
skill than the preceding, although the
results obtained were not as great. The
patient in this case was young wO-
man, the corner of whose mouth and the
upper lip were eaten away by disease.
The flesh was gone even down to the
Jaw bone. To heal this, a portion of
the upper lip was cut and turned over,
so as to fill the place of the part eaten
away. The wound is healing rapidly,
and within a short time the mouth will
be whole and without Disagreement,
only a slight scar showing.

COST OF THE SURVIVAL OF
THE FITTEST.

1t has been calculated by a recent
writer on vital statistics that of ten
children born in Norway little over
seven reach their twentieth year; that
in England and the United States of
America somewhat less than seven
reach that stage; that in France only
five reach it, and in hrtand- less than
five. He tells us that in Norway, out of
l6,OCO born, rather more than one out
0t three reaches the age OF seventy; in
England one out of four; in the United
States, If both sexes be cOmruted. less
than one out of four; in Fiunce less
than one out Of eight, and in Ireland
less than one out of eleven, and he adds
this significant computation, based on
what may be called the commercial
view of the vital question. In prOduc-
ing dead machinery the cost of all that
Is broken in the making is charged to
the cost of that which is completed.
If We estimate by this same rule the
cost of rearing children to manhood, if
we calculate up the number of years of
those who passed successfully to man.
hood, there would be found between
the two extremes presented in Norway
and lreland-bOth, be it observed. un-
natuTal-a loss of 120 per cent. greater
In the first year of life, 70 per cent.
greater in the first four years of life,
and 12O per cent. greater in the years
between the fifth and the twentieth, in
Ireland than in Norway. In Norway
the average length of life of the effect
i've population is 80 and rather more
than half year, in England 351%
years, in France not quite 33 years, and
in Ireland not quite 20 years. Thus,
again comparing the best with the
worst of a scale of vitality, in which
both are bad, in Norway the proportion
of the population that reaches 20 sur
wives nearly 40 years, or fOuT-fifths of
the effective period, to contribute to
the wealth of the community, while in
Ireland the same proportion survives
less than 30, or considerably under
thTee-tifths of the effective period

TAMMANY AND THE REPUBLICANS.

If any doubt has anywhere existed
respecting the bargain between Mr..
Kelly, on behalf of Tammany Hall, and
Mr.. James Belden, as the representative
of the Republican party in the Legisla-
ture, that doubt must be entirely re-
moved by the composition of the commit
tees which the Republican Lieutenant
Governor announced in the Senate on
Tuesday. In all those committees Tam
many Hall has the upper hand.
Through this bargain Mr.. Kelly be-
comes, for the time being, a more i'm
portant power in the State than he has
ever been before. And, what is more
interesting, he now stands forth as in
many important matters the dictator
and master of the Republican party
itself.
OF course the fruits and consequences
of this new accession to the Republican
forces do not all appear at once; but
there is no doubt that they will rapidly
be developed. The reorganization of
this city and the expulsion of the DEM
Ocrats from every accessible seat of
power in every department of the COM
mOnWealth, are among the results
which may earliest be expected.
Meanwhile we earnestly congratulate
the Democracy on this turn of events.
Nothing has happened for years which
should so much encourage every sincere
Democrat as the open transfer of John
Kelly and his followers to the ranks of
the RepubllcanS.-N. Y. Sun.

A ALONG-LIVED RACE OF TO-
.BACCO-USERS.

D. A. Hulett, member of the Demo-
cratic General Committee in Brooklyn,
while standing in the City Hall yester-
day smoking, said, when asked if he was
not great smoker:
yes, an uncle of mine has just died
from excessive smoking. He was 81
years old, and both smoked and chewed.
My father refuses to take warning by
him, and, although he is ninety years
old, he keeps on smoking and chewing
as he has done for half-centuTy. A
grandfather Of mine died in 1850 after
having used tobacco freely for eighty
five years. Tobacco must have killed
him. He was within two months of
being 100 years old when he died.

TOM AND FANNY.

They were engaged to be married and
called each other by their first names,
Tom and Fanny, and he was telling
her how he had always liked the name
of Fanny and how it sounded like sweet
music in his ears.
81 like that name so WE'LL" he added,
as a sort of clincher to his argument,
that, when sister Clara asked me to
name her pet terrier, l at once called
it Fanny, after you, dearest"
81 don't think that's very nice," said
the fair girl, edging away from him.
"How would you like to have a dog
named after yOu?"
"Why that isn't anything" answered
Tom, airily; "half the cats in the cOun-
try are named after me-"

A New York clergyman, IN a sermon
on cOurtship and marriage, said he be-
one if they will but wait till the right
one comes along" The female portion
of his congregation who have passed
two score years said they never heard
such nonsense, and that the man didn't
know what he was talking about. If
the right one doesn't come along before
a woman reaches forty the chances are
nine in ten that he is showed under, or
dead, OF, worse still, has married the
wrong woman.
