Packing Plants and Rose Bushes for Ship
ment to Congressman.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-One of the busiest
places in Washington at present is the packing
house Of the Botanical Garden. In one room Of
this structure are several hundred boxes marked
with the names and addresses of as many con-
gressmen while half dozen men in the next
room are busy sorting and tying up plants.
Through some sort of MEANS not exactly under
stood. each member of Congress and each SELL
ator is allotted about one hundred plants and
few dozen rose bushes each year. These are
sent by express to the member or he gives an
order directing that they be forwarded to hos
pitfalls or other charitable institutions in his dis
trict Some members care nothing for their
quota Of plants, but turn them over to the en-
ployes Of the House or Senate, and the lucky
ones frequently do thriving business in dis
posing of them to the market people.
1t is interesting to watch some Of the coun-
try members select their plants The man from
Texas took stroll through the green houses
aud picked out about hundred plants which he
requested the superintendent to send to his
house The hair Of the latter fairly stood on
end with establishment as he looked over the as
sortment. The Texan had chosen twenty-five
of the most valuable orchids in Washington.
Some of them were worth upwards of fifty dol
lars each. He had filed up with palms and
other tropical vegetation from the rarest in the
garden. The aggregate value of the whole was
something more than the salary of the member
for year He will have to take up with less
expensive variety.
Nearly all the plants for the South and South
west were sent out some weeks ago. Those for
the North and West will be shipped during the
coming two weeks

THE MAN WITH A NOSE.
A Most Remarkable and Successful Surgical
Operation at Troy. N. Y.

Troy, N. Y, May 5.-On the morning of Dec.
last during a row between ex-Supervisor
Jones, of Albany, and man named McQuirk, Of
Cohoes, the lower portion of the formers nose
was bitten off while he lay in the gutter on
Maiden lane. He was taken to DIR. Fisk's Office,
but as the dismembered part was not found the
doctor could do nothing but stop the flow of
blood. This was done and Mr.. Jones was
taken home. Soon afterward the portion
bit off was found by two citizens, who brought it
to DR.. Fisks Office, and the surgeon Immediately
placed it in pail of hot water. A carriage was
procured and the party started for Mr.. Joness
residence, mile distant. Two hours and a half
had elapsed from the time the crime was COM
mitted until the surgeons arrival at the house
The lower part of the nasal bone was rinsed and
the dismembered portion, after being thoroughly
cleansed, was then sewed on, applications of hot
water being constantly employed during the OPP
Grafton, so that the blood might be kept in cir
culation. The following day it was found by
picking the dlsmembered portion that circulation
had been reestablished through the portion that
had been stitched on. The entire portion that
had been bitten off remained in that condition
for eight days. At that time it was
found that the lower part was ''sloughing," yet
the great portion remained intact The surgeon
then made up his mind that to preserve the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Jones face it would be necessa-
ry to resort to what is known as the ''rhinoplas-
tic operation'-an operation that had never been
attempted in this part of the country. and few
are reported in medical annals The sloughed
part was removed and the arm brought into use
Flesh was raised from the left fore arm, the in
cision being one inch wide and one and three
quarters inches long, with an additional three
quarters of an inch, narrowed down for ''fexi-
BILE hinges" The flap was then stitched to the
nose, the fore arm remaining in that position for
nineteen days, the flap then being cut from the
arm. After three months further treatment,
during which time the nostrils were cut the sep
tum formed and perfect nose was made. No
trace of the operation is perceptible.

IT have recently drummed the Dominion from
find that all along the line the large business
houses are preparing to reap the benefits of the
coming reduction in American postage"
''How do they propose to do ita'
Every easily, assure you. You see, postage
in Canada is three cents for each half ounce.
Now, there are thousands of letters mailed in
the Canadian postoffices but a comparatively
short distance from the border that weigh up
upwards of half an ounce. BY our
treaties the United States local postage
rate is all that is required to carry
letter mailed in the United States to any part
of Canada, while Canadians sending mail matter
into the United States must pay the Canadian
local rate, three cents per half ounce After
July Letters weighing upwards of half an ounce,
and not more than one ounce if mailed in any
United States postoffice will be carried into Can
ada and delivered to the address for two cents.
The same letter mailed across the line would cost
six cents learned on my recent trip that the
thrifty Canadians, or great many of them,
have determined to send their letters across the
line, and, by combining they can employ men
TO carry them, and still make a handsome profit"
"Wili this be done in the case of letters ad-
dressed to Canadal"
Certainly. Those engaged in the scheme
will mail all their letters in United States post
offices. 1t is very unpatriotic move, but there
