Into Mr.. Parkman's literary work.
shop one is not allowed to enter, but
Mr.. Prescott's intellectual laboratory
has been opened to the public by his
friend and .biographer, Mr.. George
Ticknor, and he is, perhaps, the only
modern historian whose methods of
work had been made known before the
autobiography of Sir Archibald Alison
appeared and the historian of modern
Europe has told the world how this
work grew into form and comeliness
under his hand. tD
Some points between these two writ
ers are worth bringing out, and DR..
Prescott shall be first upon the witness
stand. Prescott and Alison were In al
most equal circumstances. so far as po-
sition goes. Each deliberately chose q
literary life, and while the one had ia
trinity of sight, and was limited in his
hours of work, the other was obliged to
serve as Sheriff of Lanarkshire in order
that he might increase his daily income.
Prescott laid out course of studies"
in October 1921, which involved O
principles of grammar, correct writing;
(2) compendious history of North Am
erica; (3) fine prose writers of English,
from Roger Ascham to the present day;
(4) Latin classics one hour day.
French and Italian literature followed,
but German he was not able TO master,
choosing Spanish in its place; and here
he struck the field in which he was to
find the work of his life. On January
10, 1926. he made the following entry in
his diary: II subscribe to the history of
Ferdinand and Isabella" and thence
forward his work was laid out for him.
In May, 1S47, he added to his original
record "a Fortunate Choice" But be-
fore he took up the writing of his his
tory he went through with the follow
ing studies: (D General laws, ETC., of
nations; (2) history and constitution of
England; (3) history and government
of other European nations; (4) q gen.
eral history of Spain, and then came
Ferdinand's reign engros, and whatever
concerned such portions of his subject
as he was Immediately to treat of. 1t
was three and one-halt years from the
time when he had selected his subject
and begun work upon it that he finally
broke ground with it's actual compost

Skin Grafting in Paris.

The Paris papers contain de-
tailed accounts of the really remark
able operation of skin-grafting per-
formed by M. Lamalleree of that city,
in which case gratis were employed OBJ
tanned from two different sources, hui
man being and a rabbit--those from the
latter evincing superior amount of Vi
tally. In this case, the patient, man
81 years old, has suffered for six years
from u varicose ulcer of the left thigh,
which resisted every form of treatment;
the ulcer was fourteen centimeters long
and eight deep. AT the request of the
patient, DrLamalerec resorted to skin
grating, procuring for the purpose six
gratis from the shaven abdomen of q
rabbit and two from the forearm of q
man. These having been placed in q
position, Lister dressing was applied;
after the lapse of eight days this was
removed, and it was found that those
furnished by the rabbit had become adj
herent and that new skin was forming
rapidly in their immediate neighbour
hood; while. on the other hand, the two
human pieces had not adhered. The
dressing was continued eight days long
er, and when removed an islct of skin,
ten centimeters long and seven wide,
was seen to have established itself upon
the center of the ulcer. The dressing
was again reapplied and maintained in
place for eight days, at the completion
of which it was taken off and the sore
was found completely cicatrized. Two
months later the healing was progress
ing favorably, the newly-formed skin
showing no trace of its origin.

consists of sixty choristers and musicians
1t can be easily understood that the daily
expenditures must be very large, aggrega
ting 500 dollars per day, the hotel bills
abode amount ng to about $3.50 per day,
Taking this into consideration it requir-
ed extra inducements on the part of Capt.
Shields to persuade the management Of
the company toplace them in Cairo for
even one night only, and that bis efforts
are thoroughly appreciated is shown by
the condition Of the box sheet,
which developed last night q
very gratifying scarcity, in any part Of
house, of seats on sale. Luckily
the arrangement of the Opera
House with reference 10 the
location Of seats is such that all are good
and from any part OF the house good
view Of the stage is obtained.
The acoustic qualities of the house being
perfect, those who arrive late and frd only
back seats at their command, will probably
be better pleased than if they were farther
forward.
II may be said Of Mr.. Hess company
that it is the only one in this country or
ganized to successfully present both grand
and comic opera. There are comic opera
companies ad nauseam, and there are light
opera companies, a few, but the Hess com
pany can and does present both classes,
and presents, them in very superior man.

act. 1t has artists Of peculiar qualifications
for the respective roles assigned them. 1t

last, but not least, the representations are
all properly costumed.

THE OSTRICH HATCHING. Some will
sit throughout with themost solicitous
maternal instinct;
others manifest such anxiety that, when
the hen has been little late in taking
her morning turn upon the nest, he has
gone out, and, hunting her up, has kicked
her to the nest in the most unmanly
manner. Some are very affectionate
over their young, others the reverse;
thus do individuals differ among os-
triches. As a rule the cockbird forms
the nest, sits the longest, and takes the
burden Of the work Of Matching and rear
ing, Contrary to what has been cur
rently understood, and what is still
stated in recent colonial accounts, the
cockbird sits at night, not the hen. In
this popularity the hand of Providence
may be seen, for the worst enemies of the
nest appear at night, and the cock, being
stronger and Drawer, is better able to re-
sist them; moreover, the feathers of the
cock being black, night sitting would not
expose him to that exhaustion from the
suns rays which would ensue if he sat
during the day; while at the same time
the gray feathers of the female are less
conspicuous while she sits during the
day London Field.

LOWER CALIFORNIA MINES.

The peninsula of Lower California no
doubt has many places where gold exists,
which have not yet been found, but the
region is sucha barren and dry one that
there is little encouragement for pros
pectors. Even if they do find gold, if it
~ not on very rich ground it will not pay
to work, owing to scarcity of water.
There have been mines worked there on
a small scale, in different localities, but
Americans have made very little money
in the country. Every now and then,
however, we hear of new mines being
discovered, and news Of one CT those dis
covered reached here this week. A dis
patch from Guaymas says: By the ar.
rival of the schooner Rambler, twenty
hours from Moleje, the news of the placer
discovery in Lower California is con-
firmed. Manuel Grejalba came over di-
rect from the mines and brings some six
pounds Of coarse gold, among which is
gold nugget weighing sixteen ounces.
The major part Of the gold resembles that
found at Mormon Gulch in California.
being interviewed, Mr.. Grejalba said that
the mines, so far as prospected, were
about FIVE miles wide by about twenty in
length, and situated in a valley in the
mountains some two hundred miles from
Moleje. There were only few natives
at the mines when he left, but quite
crowd ON their way there. Mr.. Grejalba
has found gold quartz mine near the
seat OF the placers, and only came over
to get supplies and tools for the working
Of his claim. The mines are only some
fourteen miles inland from the Angel
Gardia bay. opposite to Buron island,
where there is good harbor, plenty of
water, wood, etc. A large party starts
from here ON the Rambler, which leaves
on Friday and takes all she can carry.
Mr.. Garcia also came over on the Ram
bier, and brings about seven pounds Of
coarse gold. The town of Guaymas is
alive with miners anxious to reach the
other side. Another schooner has been
laid on, and will sail by the end Of the
week. rs. F. Mining and Scientific

much of the Corsioan vendetta spirit in
Kentucky; too many neighborhood feuds;
too much of the violence which takes
away human life. and exhorts the people
to a reform Of morals. 1t illustrates how
injurious the frequent hostile collisions
are to the State, and contrasts its stand
still condition with the goaheadativeness
of West Virginia by saying:
Kentucky has vaster and richer re-
sources. Why do we not have capital
pouring in, and tide of immigration? 1t
is because We invoke ''the higher law I"
and the shotgun. 1t is because the dolts,
elevated to office. and made thereby
representatives of the sentiment Of the
State, insist that Kentucky must be for
KentucAians. 1t is because We have
such idiotic hostility to railroads, and
such Jealousy of new -comers and new en-
terprises. 1t is because the lunatics are
on top.
