Extraordinary Surgical Operation.

A most extraordinary and daring surgi-
cal operation has recently been performed
by Drs. Covers and Horsley. Of London.
A man who had suffered intense agony
for several years was diagnosed to have a
tumor of the spinal cord. The spines and
parts Of the laminG OF the fourth and
fifth dorsal vertebr,p were removed, but
the tumor was not found until the third
vertebre had been so treated. The tu-
NOR was shelled out and treated antisep-
ticallv with entire success. The pain
gradually ceased, the wound healed. and
the sensation and motion of the body and
legs were almost entirely restored. At
this rate it may oe possible for man to

"- HOMEMADE CANDY.
Directions for Making an Endless Variety
of Toothsomo SMccts.

Five pounds of sugar will make
enough for a small evening company.
Buy xxx confectioner's sugar at n
wholesale grocer's, and do not be de-
luded into taking powdered sugar, as 1T
is useless. One can make rs many
varieties as she chooses, and good
way is to make lone egg quantity" of
each kind as follows: Take the white
from an egg and measure it. Put with
it an equal number of spoonfuls of wa
ter. Stir in sugar until it can be mixed
with the hand. Do not get it too stiff.
Experience is the best teacher here,
when one can flatten it onto the mold
ing board without its sticking is good
test. Vanilla is the best flavor for all
but lemon and almond candies, and pos
sibly few others. For chocolate drops,
roll the cream into balls with the fin
gers. Drop into melted chocolate and
roll around with n fork till the balls
nre thickly coated. Take out with a
fork-better still, long pin-and place
them on slightly buttered light brown
paper, not near enough to touch each
other Orange and lemon candy: Crate
the rind OF one orange or one lemon
for the quantity above mentioned. Mix
this thoroughly into the cream. Flavor
with lemon or orange juice. The best
way to find out when the mass is sufii-
ciently favored is to taste it. Form
these candies into long strips and
cut in squares. A pretty combi-
nation is a layer OF lemon, then one
of chocolate, then one of orange.
The chocolate is made by mixing grated
chocolate with the cream and flavoring
it with vanilla. For almond oblongs
cover almonds with the cream. For
almond squares chop some almonds
very fine and mix with the cream; then
roll into strips and cut in squares.
Flavor these with either almond or va
nilla, or mixture of both. For nut
squares make the cream into larger,
flatter squares and place the half of an
English walnut on one or each side.
For fig and date creams open the fruit
about two-thirds OF its oblong circum-
ference. Remove the stone of the date
and fill with cream. Roll in granulated
sugar to give them the usual chrystal-
lied appearance. For the popular rose
tint, which makes pretty combination
with layers OF white, lemon, orange
and chocolate, flavor with raspberry or
strawberry juice, taking care to strain
out all seeds. Pineapple juice makes
delicious flavor and gives very deli
cate tint For the pistache shade,
bruise lettuce, pour hot water on it,
strain carefully and let it stand. Ones

Weak carbolic acid sponged on the

protection against the bites of gnats

TO keep saturated solution of the acid.
The solution can not contain more than
six or seven per cent, and it may be
added to water until the latter smells
strongly. This may be readily and
safely applied with sponge. Horses
and cattle could, perhaps, be protected
in the same way.-London Lancet.
