A New Surgical Operation.

I witnessed novel and decidedly in
teresting surgical operation at clinic OF
the new Ophthalmic college this week.
1t consisted of what is known as '.intur-
baton of the larnyx, an operation which
is superseding tracheotomy, or cutting
into the wind-pipe or larnyx. The pa
tient was little child, almost suffocat-
ing from the effects of membranus Group.
Hitherto children so afflicted or suffer
ing from diptheria have had to undergo
the old-fashioned process of cutting from
the outside an operation at once cruel and
painful. Many children have succumb-
ed to these diseases because their parents
objected to tracheotomy and the dread
full pains their children would have to
endure, but it would appear, from the
experiments and evidence of experts,
that this old fogy carving is to be
shelved. In inturbation the operation
consists in passing small silver tube
through the mouth and down to the vo-
cal cords, through which it passed. The
handle, or carrier" is then detached by
a spring and withdrawn, leaving the lit
tie tube in position, fange at it's SUI
perior extremity preventing its slipping
through the vocal cords into the wind
pipe. By the introduction of the tube
instant relief from sufforcation is obtain
ed, and the child falls at once into an
easy, refreshing sleep. After three or
four days the handle is passed down the
throat and attached by simple nechan-
ism, and the tube brought out. By this
means the patient is afforded free breath
ing, and respiration, and, with other
treatment of a medical kind, soon recov-
ers. In explanation the operation to a
post graduate class, Professor Greene
said: II regard this operation as a
triumph in surgery, as it is bloodless,
painless, rapid and leaves no open
wound subject to infection. The old
operation of cutting into the windpipe
was horritying to the mother, who usu-
ally hesitated between sure death by
suffocation and the obligation to see her
own offspring winch under the often
times brutal surgeons knife. She
would not as rule submit her babe to
the sanguinary operation, until the
poison had taken hold of his system,
and all hope was lost"

A French HerOfDe's Funeral.
London Daily Telegraph.

London Daily Telegraph.
Recently there was large gathering
in the church of st. Eustache, opposite
the Halles, or Central market, on the &C.
casion of the funeral of venerable
widow, named Lemonnier, who played a
very gallant part during the commune.
The Able Simon, rector of st. Eustache,
had been taken as hostage by the COM
munists and was in imminent danger Of
being shot, when Nine Lemonnier boldly
placed herself at the head of deputation
of the Danes des Halles, and proceeded
to the Hotel de Vile. Pluckily facing
the executive committee, she declared
that unless the rector were in his church
on the following day, which happened to
be Easter Sunday, the committee would
hear more ON the subject from the mar
ket women. The Danes des Halles were
successful in their appeal and at 4
o'clock next morning the Able Simon
was set free. All the clergy Of st.
Eustache attended the funeral Of the
worthy Nina. Lemnnier.

Theodore Tilton's Vanity.

I followed T1ton in lecture course
in western town once, and was half
paralyzed during my conference by the
glare of fearfully strong lamp which
was set up in front of me. After the
lecture was over I said to the committee,
'-Oh, that light is terrible I! What is it ?
WHAT made you put it there" They
answered: sit is the headlight of a loco
motive. We put it there at the sugges-
ton of Theodore Tilton, who said he
wanted his features thrown out to the
audience" That gave me rather a
powerful idea of Tilton's vanity.

Some Points About Feet.

San Francisco Chronicle.
I don't believe that it is when a wo-
man has small foot that she wants to
show it just little. am open to seri-
GUS correction, but there seems to be
quite satisfaction to a woman in know
ing that she has pretty foot, and a wo-
man has way anyhow of believing ev-
erybody knows what she knows unless
it be secret. Then she never believes
that anybody else knows it even if she's
told it to them dozen times. But
when woman has small foot and has
had it all her Life, and known it and
been told about it for twenty years.
beg pardon, no lady is ever over that
age, say ten years-she gets so accus-
toned TO it that it ceases to be piece of
vanity. It's the woman with the long
feet and the high instep that wants to
show them. The high instep sometime )
goes before fall, and that's why people
with high insteps are always said to have
plenty of pride When a woman has sue
ceeded in pinching big foot into very
small shoe she does not propose that all
that trouble is to be gone to and all that
agony suffered for nothing. So she al
ways makes point of having it display
ed somehow. I beg pardon of the Ia
dies for thus drawing attention to some
thing I have no business with. I think
the rudest thing I ever heard of was
what one of the papers said about Mrs.
Langtry, that after one of her scenes sew
eral Of the ladies threw flowers at her
feet. Mobbing her was all very well,
but throwing flowers at her feet was car
rying things too far, and an outrage.
Did you ever see woman try on pair
of shoes? You have! Then you're eth
er married or engaged in shoe store, 1
hope.
She had a lovely foot and her visitors
were admiring it. They were ladies of
course. A man who is not shoemaker
dares not mention such a thing unless
they are alone in dim corner of the
drawing room where nobody scan over

Southeast Kansas farmers want it un-
derstood that the stock interest of the
state is not confined to the north or west
part, but say they have as fine every
day stock farms as can be found in the
west and to get up something more than
ordinary interest, they are having cattle
shows in some of their county towns.
We know of nothing better adopted to
attract attention to their stock than
these shows, and if they keep them up
until in the fall, the whole country will
be talking about the live stock shows in
southeastern Kansas.

of pride among American citizens oyel
the rapid growth of population BY
accessions from abroad; and when the
census returns are in and the figures
totaled, we are apt to rejoice over the
showing in the foreign column. In
view OF the demonstrations and out
breaks on the part of the foreign ele-
ment during the past SIX or eight
months, it begins to be a question
whether or not the additions from
abroad are altogether desirable. It is
certain that it is not desirable if so large
