A trip on the steamer Pearl leaves
very agreeable impressions on the
mind of a person who travels on that
steamboat. He will not soon forget
the genial captain, John Edwards, and
the affable and obliging clerk, Mr..
Clark, and he will also come to the
conclusion that the rest of the officials
are a first-class set of men, who are
going to do the best they can to please
their patrons. These, together with
the comfortable berths, well-cooked
meals, and a boat that can make good
time, are what makes the Pearl so
popular.

The Michigan State Gazetteer and
Business Directory. for 1888, places
the population of Alpena county at
1888, and the population of Alpena
city at $500. This would leave the
population of the county, outside OF
the city, at 2S9, which every one who
is posted knows is not correct. The
last census taken places the popula-
ton of Alpena city at 6,153, so that
the Gazetteer was only 2,347 out of
the way. 1t also speaks of the aver
age value of land at from S65 to 500
per acre, a misstatement that would
be apt to deter settlers from coming
to Alpena to take up farms. AS a
matter of fact six dollars or less per
acre will buy considerable land in a
new county like Alpena, but of course
there are improved farms that can not
be purchased at that figure.

was able to SO perfectly describe and

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

The death Of Prot. Van Buren, will re-
call to the medical profession one of the
most remarkable cases Of the tEausfuslon
of blood thar have ever occurred In this
country, and one which at the time when
the operation was performed attracted
universal attention among men of science.
A poor patient had lain IN the hospital
at the island for nearly ten years, slowly
dying of mortal disease cf the wasting
and degeneratlve type. The disease was
one that modern pathology has found
allied to leprOsy- equally malignant and
scarcely more curable than its dreadful
relative. The mans limbs were covered
with liberated spots, his fingers and toes
were useless and lad been nearly obllt-
Grated by the disease, and the dorsai
surfaces were marked by large areas of
pigmentation such as occur Ia leprous
taint. In addition To the original dis
ease, the left lung was deeply excayated
with tube1cle, and the man had at most
only q few weeks to live. Under the cir
cumstances, although TRANSMISSION had
never been tried as a remedy for diseases
of the blood, Prof. Howe decided to see
what coulj be accomplished 10y transfu-
sion, and, as a first experiment, injected
into the patients circulation between five
and six ounces Of urdeti b1iuaied blocd,
mixed with a little ammouia. The effect
was wonderful. Within short peliod The
ulcerated surface began 10 heal; the spots
of pigmentation began 10 vanish; strength
returned, and the improvement in every
respect was marked. The TRANSMISSION
which bad resulted so favorabIv was re-
peated With equally beneficial conse-
quences, aud such was the attention ex-
cited by il that DR.. Van Buren, exhibited
The man to his class IN the medical de-
partment OF the University OF the City
OF New York as new departure in sur
gical science. The operation was after
ward performed IN four other cases of the
same kind, complicated with pbthisis.
In one Cf these cases the phthisis had
made such progress that the transfusion
induced hemOrrage Of the lungs. In the
other three the improvement was marked
and immediate, though not so extraordi-
nary as In tie case shown by DR.. Van
BuTen, who for The last four years, has
been one of the most steadfast advocates
Of the operation, not alone in instances
of exhaustion from loss Of blood, but in
cases Of wasting disease. The report of
these remarkable cases IN the medical
journals Of the day gave new impulse
to the waning popularity Of TRANSMISSION
in Europe, and it has since taken its
place as a legitimate surgical procedure
among such authorities as TAFT and Ian
penbecE

4 Reminiscence Of Judge Stor, .

lJo' lab Quincy's Diary, 1921
The invitation to go to Washington
with Judge Story did not imply any
promise Of attention after we arrived in
that city, as he was careful to point out
when l received it. 1.-THE fact is" said
he, :" [ can do very little for you there,
as We judges take no part in the society
Of the place. We dine once a year with
the President, and that Is all. On other
days we take our dinner together, and
discuss at table the questions which are
argued before US. We are great ascetics,
and even deny ourselves wine, except III
wet weather" Here the Judge paused,
as if thinking that the act Of mortifea-
tion he had mentioned placed too severe
a tax upon human credulity, and pres
emily added; "What l say about the
wine, sir, gives you oar rule; but it does
sometimes happen II It the chief justice
will say to me, whel the cloth Is re-
moved: Brother Story, step to the win
dow and see if it does not look ike rain ,
And if | tell him that the sun is shining
brightly, Judge Marshall will sometimes
reply: All the better, for our iurisdic-
ton extends over so large territory that
the doctrine of chances makes it certain
that it must be raining somewhere, and

BankruptS in China.

Bankrupts have hard time in China.
The North Carolina Herald of Jan. 24th
says that the broker of the silk firm
of the Red Peacock shop Of Shanghai,
which has suspended payment, was walk
ing on the street, when he was set upon
by crowd OF bankers. creditors of the
firm, who carried him off to a house,
where they hung him up by the queue
so that his feet were off the ground, and
otherwise maltreated him. A foreigner
heard the disturbance and informed the
police, some of whom were sent to the
house, where they found the man still
hanging. He was taken to the police
