MEDICAL PROGRESS.
An Explanation Of the Marvellous Process
Of Skin Grating.


An Explanation of the Marvellous Procsss
Of Skin Grating.
When large areas Of skin are de-
stroyed, as happens in the case Of
severe burns or extensive injuries, 1t
u sometimes months before the sur
face is again covered with epidermis.
Repair may have gone on till the sur
face is on level with the surrounding
parts, and all that remains Is for the
skin to creep In from the edges; but
this process, especially In persons
weakened by long confinement in bed.
is very slow, and the constant dis
charge OF matter from the open SUR
face causes irritation, as well as weak.
ness.
II has been known for many years
that flap OF skin might be lifted from
IT'D place and made to adhere In an ad-
joining spot. provided its connection
with the surrounding skin were not
cut of. But now we can 60 farther
than this. In 1860 French physician
discovered that small bits OF sound
skin might be shipped off and applied
to the surface Of the sore, and that
under certain conditions they would
adhere and form new centers from
which the process OF healing might go
on.
In order TO have graft stake" we'll,
the surface OF the ulcer must be in
suitable condition. If it is rough, or
discharges too freely, or projects too
far above the surrounding level, there
Is danger that the small bits Of skin
will fall off.
The process Is as follows: The SUR
face OF the ulcer, as well as that Of the
sound skin from which the gratis are
to be taken, having been carefully
cleansed with carbolic acid, or other
solution that serves the same purpose.
the bit OF skin is picked up in a small
pair of forceps or on the point Of a
needle. and is shipped of with pair
OF sharp scissors or a small knife.
Only the superficial layer Of skin is
taken, and IL this is properly done
there is no bleeding.
The bit OF skin, which is generally
not larger than the head OF a pin. Is
then placed firmly upon the ulcer,
with the cut side down. and preferably
about a quarter OF an inch from the
free border. A line of gratis may be
placed at equal distances completely
across the denuded surface. and thus
bridge Of skin is soon formed. for the
gratis spread and unite, and thus con.
vert the original ulcer into two smaller
ones. BY similar process these two
parts may be again divided, and the
process continued till the whole sur
face is covered.
In few instances larger portions Of
skin have been made to grow to the
liberated surface. but in general the
smaller bits cause repair to go on as
and are more easily applied
and cared for. Youths Companion

 BOSTON, Aug. yO-President Soden said to-day that MT. Billings telegram to Manager Hart was wholly unauthor- ized by the Board of Directors of the Boston Club and that he and Mir. Conant do not endorse It. He thought that MT. Hart was wholly wrong, however, in making public the contents of tho tele- gram, which was clearly private.
 Mir. Soden has received a letter from Mir. Hart, who is willing to resign If re- Quested and feels very sore over the matter. The affair Is not worth half the fuss that has beon made, and had MT. Hart pocketed the telegrams, acting on them as he saw fit, there would have been nothing to disturb the feelings of the players.
 A conference between Messrs. Soden and Conant to-day resulted in the fol lowing:

A BOSTON HEROINE.
An Old Lady Scares or Robbers with tho
 Silver They Arc After.

An Old Lady Scares or Robbers with tho
 Silver They Arc After.
 There is an old lady living on Columbus avenue, writes the Boston correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, whose particular weakness has always been dread that she would be robbed of her silver. She has great quantity of valuable old family plate, some of it dating back to revolutionary times, when such treasure was not so very plentiful among the early colonists. For fear of burglars she always keeps it in her bedroom at night, mad servant assisting her each evening to lug it up in big basket to the third story front One night last week the robbers so long expected came. The old lady. ever on the alert for such an event, heard them below. She was fright ened for her own safety, nobody else being in the house at the time but the maid-serv ant aforesaid, and yet her chief anxiety was for tho silver. No pistol or other weapon was at hand, as she was afraid of firearms. She might howl from the window for po- liceman; bpt suppose none would be within hearing. The predatory ruf1ans might come up and take the plunder before help would come. The case was desperate and called for corresponding action, no sooner thought of than performed.
 She sclzed tho big basket by the handle 0t one end, and, having opened the door softly, dragged tho wicker receptacle with it's precious contents as noiselessly as pos sible along the entry to the stair wall. She looked down and distinctly saw, by ray of moonlight that -me through an entry win dow, two men, who presently disappeared, presumably into the dining room. Without losing a moment she strove to get the basket on the top of trunk which stood against the rail at the landing. By great effort she succeeded, and another hoist bal. onced it fairly on top of tho rail. A turn o1 the hand aii,: the entire mass of knives and spoons, ica urrs. napkin rings, mugs, etc., was dumped out and prccipitated two stories distance to the hardwood floor o1 the hall below. The crash was something g appalling. The robbers must havo supposed that hades had broken loose. They were so frightened that they jumped through a glass window from the dining room to the garden and ran into the arms of police man on tho next corner. And the old ladys friends say she ought to be embalmed in history as heroine, together with Mol Pitcher and other locally celebrated females of dauntless courage,
