Surgical Operation that Gave n BIu-
stefan the Free Use of the Third Fin
ger.
From the Philadelphia Becordl
The success of a surgical operation per-
formed some time age by DIR. William s.
Forbes Professor of Anatomy at the Jeffer-
son Medical College, demonstrates a way in
which musicians may overcome the necessity
of years of constant practice to destroy the
rigidity which naturally exists in the third or
ring finger. This normal infirmity has al
ways been the great drawback to students
To obtain thorough knowledge of the the
DRY of music, fexibility and ease in the
movement of the third finger is absolutely
required.
The subject was brought to the attention
of DR.. Forbes by Professor Zeckwer, a mu-
sic teacher. The physician gave the assu-
rance that if a subject were procured he
would demonstrate that with a not very
painful surgical operation the finger could be
brought under control A young colored
man in the employ of Professor Zeckwer,
who had some musical ability, consented to
subject himself to the surgeons scalpeI. In
the case of the third finger, unlike its neigh
bors, the upper or eNtensor tendon is Joined
with the tendons of the fingers on each side
of it by two smaller or accessory tsndons.
This acts like a martingale, and holds the
finger down SO completely that nothing but
constant strain will loosen the pressure
DIR. Forbes, when the subject was brought
to him, simply made two small openings in
the back of the left hand on each side of the
extensor tendon, and divided the trouble
some accessories. The finger was at once re-
leased, and Immediately after the operation
the young man was able to raise the finger
and describe an arc of q circle an inch and
half greater than he could before. Since the
operation the finger has been rapidly gaining
strength, and now at exercise it does yeoman
service as compared with its twin of the
other hand

General Banks, who has been to Washing
ton and had a long interview with the Presi-
dent, says that there ought to be no grounds
for complaint because of the Presidents de-
lay in making appointments. Such com
plants emanate solely from the office-seekers
and the President realizes what the polite
ians do not seem to realize, that every APP
pie as never before. The respect for the
memory of Garfield has much to do with
this, and the President has great respect for
this feeling, and for this reason makes so
few changes,

committee appointed by the recent Ala.

a long address to the people Of the State re-
citing the great evils resulting from the use
of Intoxicating liquors, and urging that
passive endurance does not suffice, the ques-
ton of prohibition of this traffic should be
no longer kept in allegiance. The committee
explains that the movement is not partisan

compromising opposition to the sale of all
alcoholic liquor for any other than strictly
medicinal, mechanical and sacramental pur-
poses.

The Pail Nall Gazette observes that there
is one feature in the expulsion of Mr. Brad
laugh from the House of Commons which
distinguishes it at once from all the histori-
cal precedents which have been quoted. In
all other cases the person expelled was ex-
PEELED for doing something which, if not le-
gally punishable as crime, was at all events,
morally criminal. Wither was ostensibly ex-
PEELED for publishing works condemned by
the courts as scandalous and seditious lbeIs.
Cochrane was alleged to have committed
frauds upon the Stock Exchange Walpole
was found guilty of having taken bride
So was Sir John Trevor, who, when Speaker,
received 81, 900 from the corporation of the
city for promoting a private bill on their be-
half, and put the question to the House
whether he was or was not guilty, and had
to declare that the yeas had it. But this is
the first time member has been expelled for
mere breach of good manners, or, as Lord
Randolph Churchill phrased it, reiterated
insults to the House, or, in the language of
Sir Stafford Northcote, contempt and con-
tumacy."

On the question of electric lighting, after
a careful examination of the several systems
by Boston insurance company, Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, the president of the company, ex-
presses the opinion that the inoandescent
system may be brought as near to absolute
safety as any method of lighting can be, !"
while the arc system may be made as safe
as gas or oil, probably safer, when carefully
put up by responsible companies and kept I'M
der proper supervision or inspection" The
insurance company has promulgated a series
of rules to be observed by members of the
company in the use of electric lighting ap
paratus, and to copy of these rules are ap-
pended the statements by the officers of the
several lighting companies, showing that they
already do conform to the rules, or promis-
ing that they will do so.

A lady travelling in Switzerland has written
letter for the Buffalo Courier, giving her
impressions of the public schools of that
country. The school buildings are roomy
and well ventilated. The pupils are slower
than Americans, but better drilled and more
thoroughly taught. In teaching history great
principles are dwelt on rather than trivial
details, and sensationalism and narrow sec
tionalism are carefully avoided. The disci.
pline has nothing of the strictness of Ameri-
can schools and longer recesses are given.

4 Hoboken woman has made a strange use
of the harmless, necessary cat" Suspect
ing the presence of sewer gas in her house,
she tried the customary peppermint test, and
when the peppermint odor appeared on the
lower floor she went triumphantly to the
house agent and demanded PREPARATION" of
the leak. The sceptical agent declined on
the ground that peppermint odor was per
vasiye and that it penetrated the whole House
The Hoboken woman, not to be disconnected,
then poured valerian into the waste pipes and
borrowed two cats as private detectives. The
cats caught the delightful odor, went to the
door of closet when the door was opened,
entered the closet, leaped to a shelf and
purred and rubbed against the wall This
was too much for the house agent; he yielded
at once. The wall was broken in and then
the leak was found.

We welcome thee Spring. from the far, sunny south.
With thy soft breezes wooing the flowers
From their slumbers gladden. and brighten again

The sun smiles welcome and through the far depths
Of the calm sky's eerulean his beams
Dance gladly and feetly in seeming delight
10 the music Of u,erriest streams
The birds have returned and their soulthrng songs
Swell melodiuusiy oct on the breeze,
As gaily they fit like the sunbeanis. among
The boughs of the blosSoming trees.
And joyfuily through thy bright garland OF days
AL nature awakyns and smiles;
And sunbeams and melody niirthfully fit
Through the woodlands bright, fower-broidersd
aisles.
Bright smiles wreath the lips Of the youthful
And the heart with now happiness thrills
While viewing thy earliest, fresh-sfringing plants
Which crown the rich valleys and hills.
The invalid catches bright glimpses of thee
From her couch to the window close drawns
And wr:Aths OF delight crown her beautiful brow
As she welcomes thy sunlighted dawn.
The aged and weary. forgetfu Of pain,
Rejoice in the light of Try sun.
And dream Of Springtime of endless repose-
When lifes toilsone journey is done.
Then welcome, thrice welcome. thou beautiful Spring
Since thy coming aw kens delight
Alike in the bosom OF childhood and age,
And gilds darkest pathways With Light.

Fair Play for thc Hog.

IF our forefathers had studied the
hoy with any closeness we would
have been spared the sayings OF:
''Se:fish as q hog" ''hungry az a
pig" che eats like regular hoL,
etc. To begin with, the hog is mt
a selfi.h creature. Two hogs will
agree about as well as two men. and
IA hog who was taken along On a
steamboat excursion would have
cause to say to his porkers "Y"u
re like men and women." The hog
is not hungry animal. Give him
three square meals day, aud he is
content, while most men must chew
smoke assd nibbse between meal.
and have a lunch at bedtime. II
"act like hog" would be TO minf
ones own business, go to bed early
and be satisfied with the situation
The hog is not a liar, hypocrite O
dead beat. He acts on the square
S alwavs a. represented, aud in his
disposition has few equals in th'
human race. He has been misunder
stood and abused, and it is time tha
his friends rallied to give him fai

About Advertising.

If YOU can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement it is great point
gained. The fair sex dent hold all
the curiosity in the world.
A thing worth doing is worth do
ing well. A thing worth advertising
is worth advertising well. A news
paper worth advertising in once is
worth making a contract with.
1t j, a mistaken notion that fine
store in an eligible location, surroun-
ded ty attractive signs, is superior
advertisement; for the experience OF
the most entrrprising merchants il
that it pays better TO spend less i'll
rent and more in advertising.
Advertising is the pole that knocks
the pcrsimmons.
Don't be afraid to invest in prln-
tcr's ink, lest your sands Of life be
nearly run out.
Trying 20 do business without ad-
verlising is like winking at pre!' y
girl through, a pair Of green goggles
You may know what you are doing
but nobody else does.
The enterprising advertiser proves
that he understands how TO buy. be-
cause in advertising he knows how tt
sell.
Bread is the staff of human life e,and
advertising is the staff of business.
A simple card may proftably stane
years without change, but sensa-
tioual advertise ment should b'
changed as often az you can get th'
printer to do it.
A heavy advertisement once il
more than quadrnpled in value by
small card, published fer few
months after, giving your address.
You can't cat enough in week t
has, you a year, and you can't aiver-
l:se On that plan either.
Now is the time to think about ad
vertising, and reflection should b
followed by judicious action.
TO make man realize all idea a
Won realize it is what is necessary I
make him understand his needs. Ad
vcrtisemcnts should aim to place
matter 20 clearly before the publ
that they see it as cl=arly IS TIE a,
