The Arm shas sasssd the

The New York Times is responsible
for the story Of a remarkable surgical
operation lately perlormed in Germany.
1t appears that German woman lost
nearly the whole of her right biceps
muscle, in consequence Of a difference
Of opinion with the family dog. So
much of the muscle was lost that it
could not restore itself by growing.
The surgeon determined to transplant
q piece Of muscle from some other
body. After considerable investiga-
tion and thought, the law Of poetic
Justice lit upon the big muscles ct the
dogs tail as the best available substi-
tute for the woman's missing link.
Accordingly, the matter was explained
to the dog and ell his objections over
ruled. The tail was cut off, the de-
sired piece disseoted out, and the
tra~nsplanting effected. L Invoked ad-
mirably. 1t healed kindly. But at
first it would not obey the win. The
application Of electricity awakened it
to life, and presently it became strong
and serviceable, like the other. Super
s~ervioeable, in fact, for the Woman's
right arm manifests a number of peou
liarities not looked for. AT the sight
of a friend her right arm begins Il
sway laterally. At the bark of a dos
it seems to grow larger and to erect
itself ominously. Atchurch one day
during a lovely sermon on heaven, tn.
right arm so persistently wagged itsrl

IL ~
Wallace to friend in Drayton, we are
furnished the following extract which
will be of interest to our readers. Tt
seems to tally one for our Dakota climate.
~ "When my friends at home, as
some of them have done, speak of the
pleasure am having here in the Sunny
South" compared. with fighting with the
rigors of a Dakota winter as you all have
done, they get very far astray. I know
what each means, and the odds are as a
thousand to one in your favor. Distance
does indeed lend enchantment to the
view of Florida or Georgia either, and
the pleasure of spending the winter
there. Florida is the most wretchcd,
desolate looking part of the country
have ever seen. 1t is low, wet, sandy
waste, a huge swamp with diminutive,
struggling growth of pine, broken oc:
casionally by low, barren tracts where
supplies for peanut stands may be grown
by careful cultivation and the liberal aid
of fertilizers. True, it has mild winter
climate, and Northern enterprise has
taken advantage Of that fact, and North
ern capitalists have built fine hotels and
established SO called "health resorts,
which arc immensely advertised by the
Northern press, and the sick Yankee is
induced to come to this Gland of flowers
and perpetual flows" until the whole
State has become one vast hospital.
Seventy-five per cent. of the people l
have associated with this winter are, like
myself, here against their inclination,
and most of them drearily passing away
the days and weeks. anxiously waiting
the time when they dare 60 north. Here
we see sickness and suffering in all its
varied forms and degrees. The con-
sumptive's cough is sound as familiar to
me as the cackling Of a hen or the bark
ing ola dog, and don't like to say that l
have seen as many boxes with dead
bodies shipped north as I have boxes of
oranges. You may rightly imagine that
spending the winter with such surround
inss and associations is not SO fraught
with pleasure rs the fertile fancy of the
"prosaic stay-at-homes" may often paint.
1 might 80 on to describe the "beauty"
of the towns where half the buildings
are "niggers' shantics, and the style of
living how we cannot get q glass ofmilk,
a piece of beef, or even a potato that is
fit to cat except what is imported from
the North. Even the water is so warm
and insipid when fresh drawn from the
we'll that it is allowed to cool as best it
may in this warm climate before using. ]
have written in this way to help give you
realistic idea of what a winter sojourll
in the South means. The statements in
some of the letters have received almost
envying me the good time am having
in the South, have astonished me not I
