CRAFTS ON WOUNDS.
An Operation Frequently Performed

An Operations Frequently Performed by
Skillful Surgeons.
DIR. Redard has communicated to the
Academic de Medicine Of Paris some
observations regarding animal gratis on
wounds in human beings. In case Of
severe burn of the scalp. Of eight
months standing, In child Of two
years of age, he obtained q rapid
cicatrization by means Of gratis from
fowl. He first tried gratis of frogs'
skin, but as these proved to be repul-
sive to patients, and did not give very
good results, he substituted others
from the fowl; and the wound, which
measured three inches by two and q
half, had completely healed In two
months. He had been equally success
full in other and subsequent cases. He
takes the skin from beneath the wing
OF o, chicken, carefully securing the
adjacent cellular tissue. but avoiding
adipose tissue. The transplanted
pieces varied from sixth to a third OF
an inch in size, and they were main-
tanned in position by means of q little
cottonwood and iodofOrm gauze. The
skin of birds and fowls has the advan-
ge of being supple, delicate, and
ascular; it adapts itself readily to the
surface of the wound, and adheres
without undergoing absorption. Medt-
cal Record.

SENSE OF HuMOR.

1t Ts Well Developed Among the Natives
of Yorkshire.
DR.. Hook possessed a gift without
which he could never have got on in
Yorkshire, and that was sense of
humor. Sydney Smith said that it
needed surgical operation to get a
joke into a Scotchman's head-an
opinion in which no one who has read
Dean Ramsay "reminiscences of Scot
tish Life and Character can possibly
agree, and there is something akin in
the grim Caledonian and West Riding
humor. I was preaching one of
course of sermons in the open air in
non-church-going part of a town parish,
when | was pleasantly struck By the
polite attention of the landlord of
small public house close by, who had
placed chair and table at my disposal
for temporary pulpit. So remarked
on it to one of my hearers .sWhy,
you see. said he, s.he reckons on
some of 'em dropping in for glass
when you've done" A curate was
trying to make a religious census of Ills
| flock, and asked working man wfat
religion he was. why, you may rut
me down as the religion of whesl-
barrow; go whichever way thsy
shove me-. b. e., whichever way suited
his interest. Another man. with
grin on his face, boasted of his regular
attendance at church; his conrad ss
| burst out laughing the fellow had just
left prison, where attendance at public
| worship was, of course. compulsory.
But Yorkshiremen men are civil after
a fashion. One day / paid visit to a
hand-loom weaver busy throwing his
shuttle, while his loom creaked ard
groaned so that could not get word
in. So I asked him il he earned a
penny in five minutes '.No;n he said,
show should Ipn So I laid down a
penny. Now" I said, ..let us tax
for five minutes. The man stopped,
looked at the clock-"Five minutes is
up he said at the end of the time,
.sbut take back your penny; your tax
has been worth more than the 'brass'
| (money.) You may look in again il
you've amind. .n-T Temple Bar.

LABOR NOTES.

The new steel plate works TO be established
at Joliet, ILL.,, will furnish employment to /, 900
men.
1t is said that the spring OF 1890 is the time
set by carpenters and joiners for making
combined effort for an eight-hour day.
All the l'ittsburg furnaces are in full blast.
Business is very pressing, and iron workers
wages are running from $50 to $50 a week.
The Cigarmakers' International union,
which was organized in 1854, now numbers
2S00 members, and has in its funds over
$3.50, 900.
There is strong desire among the bakers
to join the knights of Labor The bakers
have nearly all belonged to the Central La
Dor union.
firm of cigar manufacturers in Phladel-
phia, employing non-union men, has threat
ened TO employ Cinnamon unless the boy
colt against their goods is raised.
A new organization in labor is the Brother.

in Philadelphia. There are now four branches
of the order, all founded within the last four
weeks
A brother of Lord wolseley, Mr. Frederick
Wuseey, claims recognition for having in

The feather-workers Of New York have
organized and decided upon a uniform scale
of wages. Heretofore the workers in this
branch of industry have had no organization
whatever.

price of their loavcs cent on account of the
fall in the price of wheat

handed over the treasure, which Van Dyke
straightway carried into the shop. Query:
Where is Van Dyke and the diamonds! Ac-
cording to the description of those who saw
him. Van Dyke is man rather under the
medium height, with dark complexion,
clean shaven face, hair dark, nose narrow
and sharp with Jewish prominence, and
lips so thin and Dloodless as to be almost in
visible. The most remarkable of all are his
massive eyebrows, which form black line
across his forehead over pair of piercing
eyes, deep set in the head. He bears him
self with the dignity of grand Seigneur and
tries to impress people with his Importance.
He is about thirtytwo years of age.
