How Things Get Lost.


The inexcusable carelessness exhibited by
some people In the handling tf valuable
property, and the ease with which things
may be mislaid and lost, are illustrated by
a lecture lately delivered by DIR. Wilson
before the American genealogical society.
He gave thirty instances. in which various
articles, such as sponges, forceps and other
things, had been left in the abdominal cav
ity Of patients who had undergone the oper-
alton Of laparo omy. This operation, it may
be stated, consists of cutting through the
walls Of the abdomen in the lumbar region,
and in it many appliances are employed.
IL is in this direction that the care
lessness referred to occurs Here are thirty
instances in which physicians have left their
instruments in the abdominal cavities Of
patients, have sewed up the opening and
gone away. and did not probably discover
their loss until the patients were dead and
buried. Some steps should be taken to end
this ruinous waste. Possibly there might
be appointed by the state an official whose
duty it should be to attend ali the opera
lions ending In ''otomy," and see that no
valuable property Is lost by being left in
the incised regions.
o. course these implements so left are Of
no value TO the patient, but a dead loss to
the surgeon. The habit Is one that should
b. discouraged, and when a surgeon has
become confirmed in leaving his tools
around in this careless way ha should net
be allowed to replace them by circulating q
subscription paper.

Exclusive wheat farming is as disastrous

In making pumpkin pies, 1t improves them
greatly to add small quantity Of cinpa-

Lima beans ripen very late They are
better gathered before they are quite ripe,
and left to dry out in cool place.

wicked peidlers Of hog cholera cures.
