A sRIlruL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Am AMBASSADOR at Vienna,
MIR. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con
sisted in the removal of portion
of the human stomach, involving
nearly ono-third of the organ-and,
strange TO say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer OF the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is peculiar indies.
cribable distress in the stomach, a feel
ing that has been described as Il faint
"0H gone" sensation; a sticky slime col.
lects about the teeth, especially in the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears TO aggravatc the feeling. The
eyes are sunkcn, Hinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired ali the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa.
ticnt becomes nervous and irritable,

bodings. When rising suddenly from
a recumbent position there is dizziness,
q whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costive, the skin
dry and hot at tines the blood becom-
ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After a time the
patient spits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in a sour and fcrmcntcd con-
dition, sometimes swedish TO the taste.
Oftcntimes there is a nalpitation of the
| heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
| patient is unable to retain any food
whatever, as the opening in the intes.
| tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL
though this disease is indeed alarming,
| sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, disease easily removed if
| treated in u proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Scigcl's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-

cine vendors throughout the world, and

USE OF GOLD IN THE ARTS.

The consumption or gold for other
than monetary purposes has more
than quadrupled in thirty years. 1t
is more than five times what it was
a century ago, when gold was used
for personal ornament to a greater
amount per capita than to-day. The
great mass of gold which has flowed
from the mines has been absorbed
in the same opulence and luxury of
the times which have swallowed up
the flood of genuine gems, great in
volume beyond any former preced-
ent and almost Outnumbering the
pasty jewels of the glassmaker's art.
Five.sixths of the current produc-
ton of gold is absorbed in the arts
and manufactures of the Western
world and in British India. A part
of the remaining sixth is lost by the
wear of coins, the forgotten boards
of misers and in war, shipwrecks
and fires a great proportion is lost
and destroyed. 1t is possible that
the production of gold may increase.
1t is also possible that it may de-
crease, as it actually has been de-
creasing for many years; but there
is no uncertainty about the consump-
ton, which is sure to grow with the
growing opulence and luxury of the
world. The consumption of precious
metal has been trebled within the
past twenty years, and if it only

doubles within the next twenty years
it will exceed the production.
In the United States great guam
titles of il are used in iewelry and
plating, while comparatively large
proportion Of the entire amount is
used in gliding porcelain and glass
ware, and it is in this particular
branch of business that marked
increase in the price of gold would
have a serious effect. Richly-linishcd
decorations cannot be produced
without more or less gold, and in
many instances it is applied with u
lavish hand, as may be seen in Royal
Worcester, Crown Derby, old or
new Satsuma, old Beehive Vienna,
and various other fabrics of rich
goods, in which gold ornaments are
the predominating feature. Of
course, gold paste assists very much
in making the relief of patterns, but
the amount of gold applied is by no
means insignificant. Indeed, every
decorating shop in the world uses
more or less of it, and when the ex-
penses of preparation are added to
the cost of the metal, it becomes no
inconslderable item in the cost of
decorating. Various methods have
been employed in reducing gold to
the state of an ordinary pigment,
and the processes have been guard
ed with the greatest secrecy. In
stances are not wanting where dec
orators, coming to this country and
finding an opportunity open for bust
ness, have been compelled to pay
heavily for gold recipe.
One of the English methods was
to reduce the gold to an oxide by
amalgamation with mercury, the
proportion being about one ounce of
gold to one-half pound of mercury.
The gold was put into ladle and
allowed to acquire high tempera-
ture then the mercury was poured
in upon it and stirred until amalga-
nation was completed. The mass
was then turned into basin Of
cold water and washed until it was
clear, and then the whole was passed
through piece of chamois. Flux
and fat oil was then added, and the
mass was ground until it was fine
enough for application to the ware.
The general method employed in
this country in the early days OF
decoration was to take sovereign
or five-dollar gold piece to a dentist,
and get him to roll the coin out into
a ribbon; one-half pound of nitric
acid was put into a bottle, and into
it bits of gold ribbon were dropped
and the bottle set in warm sand to
accelerate the action of the acid on
the gold a certain amount of mer-
curry and nitric acid was put into
another bottle, and both mixtures
were allowed to stand until perfectly
clear. Both mixtures were ther
put into a common receptacle, like q
hand-basin, the gold first and the
mercury following. The action Of
the mercury was to precipitate the
gold to the bottom of the vessel
where it lay in rich, brown Jumps OF
soft oxide. Washing, huxing ant
grinding followed, until ready fol
use. In this way many coin of the
realm found its way to the decora
tors palette.-Americam Stationer

A 100000 fire lately occurred in

Two boys gave warning of a
bridge washed away on the Alabama
and Great Southern Railway. They

hours to warn the train. Pierre

He gave five dollars to the purse
taken up on the train for them.
Under the terms of the "Foreign
Enlistment Act" the British author
tiles refused to allow q French man
of-war to refit at Hong kong. This
has caused great annoyance in Paris,
one paper denouncing the conduct
as especially unfriendly and urging
the French Government to retaliate
by Immediately blockading all
Chinese ports. 1t says France has
hitherto rcfrained from doing so be-
cause she regarded England as q
friendly Power, and the blockading
of the Chinese ports would have
hampered English commerce. 1t
was reported in London, Jan. 2Sth,
that France had decided officially to
declare war against China, in conse-
quence of England's enforcement of
the Foreign Enlistment Act. The
war in Tonquin is denounced by
superior officer of the French army
in Paris as one of the greatest mis-
takes ever committed by any Govern
ment. He says peace should have
been made Immediately after the
naval victory at Foo-Chow.

"Women and Skepticism," in the
course of which he spoke of the
Woman's Suffrage Convention, held

opinion that when women are given
too much liberty they branch off into
skepticsm and immortality. He said,
among other things, that the lives
of such women as George Eliot,
Madame Roland and Harriet Marti-

assertion and he referred to Victoria
Woodruff as the representative of
the Woman's Suffrage movement.
Among his audience were Miss
