Tho Triunlplls Of Modern Sur
gerry,

From the Youths Companion.
While annsthetics have rendered the
grnvcst surgical operations well-nigh
painless, other still more recent I'M
provelncnts have rendered them COM
parativcly safe.
II is important that this should be
understood. because dread of the sur
gcon's knife, once reasonable, cause
many operations to be put off until
the increase OF the trouble and its cf
feet on the general health may have
rendered the system unable to rally
from tine shock. In all cases the carli-
cr the operation, the satcrit will be.
The changes in surgical methods
within IL single decade amounts to q
revolution. The surgeon himself looks
back with horror on the surgery of
ten years ago. Then the danccr-and
it was u great and ever present one
wasfrom suppuration and consequent
blood-poisonine.
Snppuration was looked on ns inev-
table. But science now shows that
no suppuration is possible, unless the
germs OF it are introduced from with
out. The germs were formerly intro.
duced with the hand of tho operator,
or those OF his assistants, or by his
instruments, his threads, his spongcs,
his plasters. or his bandages; or they
tloated in with the infected air, with
which every hospital was especially
charged.
Now it is known that various solu.
tions destroy all such germs. The
opernting-room is therefore kept dis.
infected. So arc the surgeons and ut
tendants, especially their hands and
nails.
Instruments and spongcs are taken,
at using, directly from the carbolic so
luton. Plastcrs and buntla:cs, and
all lisatures for tying blood vessels or
sewing up wounds. are rendered asep.
tic. The skin of the patient i, scrub
bed with soap and water, and the
parts adjacent to tho wound covered
with disinfectins towels.
"Puss is u thing OF the past" says
tho Medical Recorder. 1.-The wound
is now dressed with no expectation
that fever will arise, or that suppura.
ton will occur, or that the dressings
will require renewal. The patient eats
and sleeps well from the first, and the
surgeon :emoves the dressing only to
find the wound united"-and this,
too, though the largest wounds are
fully sswed up, and without drainage.
tubes.
Formerly, tho simplest cases OF
compound fracture were treated with
many missivings; now the worst cases
give no special trouble. Formerly, the
larger amputations were trribly fatal;
now, even in amputations OF the thigh,
death by suppuration and its results
does not occur. Formerly. after ty-
ing a blood vessel, there was great dan
ger OF its bursting out again, through
the effect OF suppuration; this danger
has ceased to exist.
Enormous assesses are now freely
opened, cleansed with disinfecting
solution, and their walls-sometimes
having many square feet OF surface
being pressed together, promptly unite
with uniform success.

The Farm Garden.

Most gar'lncrs lnugha our advice,
butwe wtalkingto farmers who
have IL small garden. II your gar
den is a little pent up affair, with Il
fence around it in Which your work
is mostly done by hand, weurge that
the whole system be changed. A
fhrmcr cannot afford to cultivate q
garden that way. lie must, tomakc
the garden profitable, do most of the
work with n horse. 1t is better to
have two or three rows along the
edge of the cornficld devoted to the
smaller garden truck than to have O
little patch with beds in it that re-
quirllcs hand labor entirely to tendit.
1t does notmatter if carrots, lettuce,
satisfy. parsnips, and peppers grow
in one row forty rods long, if they
are only grown. The reason that
SO few farm houses are sup
piled with vegetables is due to the
unfortunate method of gardening
pursued. There are IL number Of
farmers gardens we see each sum-
mer upon which n large portion of
the contents is put in every spring
and the seeds sown, but after this no
attention is given to it, and weeds of
cnormus growth are the leading
crop every season. There is one
farmer of our acquaintance who has
half Il dozen rows across u large
field given up to the garden and in
these he grows everything needed in
the family i'll the way OF small fruit
and vegetables. The horse and cul-
tivator do most of the work and
the aggregate expense Of caring for
each row is not much more than if it
were planted to potatoes. Insowing
seeds n great many people make the
mistake of planting too deep. Nearly
oil of the smaller garden seeds if COW
cred with II light sprinkling Of fine
soil and pressed down with the foot
are in good shape to grow. We pre-
fer the pressure of the foot to any
rolling that can be done.

Make Farm Life Interesting.

The Pennsylvania Farmer gives o
sure recipe for making farm life in
teresting and for stopping the grum-
bling of the boys. 1t is to awaken
IN interest in the remarkable things
to lie found in nature on a f;lrm.
Have one of the boys explain why
grass is dark green when it grows
rapidly. Tell him that clover is not
grass, then have him find out what
tits. Give linn the books to find out
these things. Give him something
totl,ink and talk about connected
with the intensely interesting opera
tions ofnaturc going onaroun,l him,
and the burrows will lie shorter, the
hot days cooler, the commands to
horses and COWS more pleasant but
just us impressive; his t;,ce will he
drawn in lIunlsomer lines, and lis
thoughts purer ideals.

The worst campaign fight Of the season oc-
Cured at Sxth-ave. and Twenty-hfth-st shortly
after 0 o'clock last night 1t was brought about
by an attempt on the part Of Democratic pro-
ccsson to break through the ranks of division
of colorcd clubs, and a number Of persons were
severely injured.
It seems from the statements of several eye
witnesses that the colored clubs, which included
two organizations from the Vth and XIth As
sembly Districts and one unnamed club, number
ing altogether about three hundred, came into
collision with their aggressive opponents as they
were turning up the street to pass by the
Republican Headquarters The Democrats, who
halted for moment, were preceded by a
platoon of nine policemen, following which
came the Jeffersonian Club the George b. McClel-
Ian Club, the Andrew Jackson Club, the Samuel j.
Tilden Club the Winfield Scott Hancock Club, and
the Thomas A. Hendricks Club The Democrats
were marching up on the east side and the Repub-
iican clubs on the west side of the avenue
One of the colored clubs had passed by and left
a momcntary break in the ranks, when the Demo-
Gratis, who had been taunting and jeering them,
jumped by the policemen in front and at
tempted to break through the lines Of
colored battery which had just come up.
George Peterson, one of the colorcd battery,
began to hit Democratic heads with lantern,
and was arrested and taken to the Thrteth Street
Police Station Torches, imitation muskets, and
even knives and pistols were freely used, and the
crowd which numbered a thousand or more,
joined in the scrmmage
The policemen who were with the procession,
though using their clubs freely were unable to
quell the disturbance, and Officer Johnson went to
the station for help. Immediately twenty-five re-
serves were dispatched to the scene. They speedily
quieted matters
When the fight was over it was found that
Thomas Murphy, Of No. 267 Houston-st, had
been stabbed in the back. An ambulance was
sent for but he refused to go to the hospital.
Peter Mcdonnell, of No. 759 Westinghouse, was
badly injured in the face and head. but went
home. An old man named Kday was thrown
against showcase and severely cut and injured,
and another man named Jarvis, whose first name
could not be learned. was battered
ovar the head with lantern.
The colored men suffered most severely
from the clubbing, and many of them Will mourn
their broken heads for some time.
Ponce Commissioners McClave and French
heard OF the trouble, and went rushing to the
police station in hot haste, but by the time they
arrived everything quiet In fact, hali an
hour after the trouble occurred it was difficult to
find any one in the neighborhood who knew any
thing about it,
