The latest thing in surgery is re-
ported from the Chambers street
hospital, New York. A truck driver
was accidentally shot in the abdomen.
The bullet could not be found and
peritonitis threatened. The surgeons
opened the abdominal cavity, re-
moved the entire intestines, examin-
ed them minuteIy for wounds, found
and sewed up seven perforations, re.
moved the bullet, put every thing
back in good shape and the patient
experienced a perfect recovery in
three weeks. There have been as
daring operations performed before,

death. 1t seems that q wound Of

that the king once offered him the Order
Pour lie Merite, with flattering express
sions of the royal regard. INLAND, how
ever, declined to accept it. While he
was explaining to his wife the reason
which moved him t. refuse the distinc-
ton, there was knock at the door. A
working. class girl from the reighbor-
hood entered, and presenting INLAND
with bunch of violets, said: "This is
an offering from my mother" "Your

An original and very clever method of
smuggling was found out short time
ago at Hull. While unloading the
steamer Elizabeth, from Hamburg, the
men came upon several beams of wood.
The end of one of these was bent
through coming in violent contact with
some other object. The custom house
officer discovered that the beam was
hollow, and filled with tobacco and
cigars. The rest of the beams, about
eight or nine, were also stuffed full with
tobacco.

more correctly, the extended application

Ages of Animals.

Camels live from forty to fifty years;
horses average twenty-five to thirty !;
oxen about twenty; sheep eight to nine,
and dogs from twelve to fourteen. Con-
corning the ages attained by non-domes-
tic animals, only few isolated facts are
known. The East Indians believe that
the life period of elephants is about 800
years-instances being recorded of these
animals having lived 1870 years in con-
finement, after capture at an unknown
age. Whales are estimated to reach the
age of 400 years. Some reptiles are very
long lived, an instance being furnished
by tortoise, which was confined in
1888 and existed until 1853, when it
persisted by an accident. Birds some
times attain great age, the eagle and
the swan having been known to reach
100. The longevity of fishes is often re-
markable-carp having been known to
reach 200; common river trout fifty
years, and the pike ninety years; while
Gessner, Swiss naturalist, relates that
pike caught in 1897 bore a ring re-
cording the capture of the same fish 267
years before.
