How a Woman Doctor Treated a
Female Patient.

The patient YVES girl under treatment
for tumor in the stomach. After several
months of fruitless medical treatment the
female physicians in charge decided to re-
sort to the knife. Accordingly the victim
was placed under the influence of apes-
thetics, laid out on slab in the presence
of numerous doctors and nurses of the
female persuasion, and the carving began.
The maiden was opened in scientific style
and the tumOr successfully remove as were
also several large antiseptic sponges which
had been placed in the abdominal cavity
to absorb the blood during the operation.
Then the incision was neatly stitched
with silver wire, the boss surgeon had
rolled down her sleeves and was receiving
congratulations, when young doctress,
who had taken the precaution to count the
spt nges before and after using, suddenly
exclaimed: "Oh, doctor. you have left a
sponge inside the patient %
At first the doctor secuted the idea that
she could possibly make such q blunder,
but as one of the sponges was missing,
which careful search of the room failed
to discover, she thought perhaps it might
have got lost in the shuttle. The stitches
were removed, and sure enough there lay a
sponge as big as half grown mud turtle
snugly reposipg among the Latin arrange
ments of the young women. The sponge
was rescued, and as the surgeon was sew
ing the girl together again she calmly re-
marked: "Tm glad my attention was
called to the matter, as that sponge is
worth sixty five cents"

Appraising Diamonds.

the scales being so delicate that even the
vibration of the human voice would stir
them, and an eyelash accidentally dropped
on one of them would send one side or the
other flying up. Every gem is examined
with the most absolute precision, powerful
magnifying glass being used to detect
any flaws. This has to be done. and
most particularly with the larger
stones, for flaws invisible to the
naked eye, but which according to their
location, seriously affect he value of any
of them, are discovered by the magnifying
glass. This tries the eyes severely. the
many different colors of the stone dancing
continuously before the eyes. From the
Judgment of this government expert no ap.
peal is possible, and so well is this under
s ood that there is seldom a false invoice
made on the stones sent into this country.
Millions ofdol'ars worth of stones are an
nually imported by us. They come in
small wooden boxes about six inches long
and three inches wide and deep An air
Of mystery and secrecy pervades the ap-
praising room when these are opened, the
experts being shut in behind carefully
closed and guarded doors.

STARVING THE TEETH.
Something About the Proper Food
for Building Bones and Teeth.

Something About the Proper Food
for Building Bones and Teeth.
[American Analyst
Teeth are just as easily starved to death
as the stomach. In one way it is blessing
to have been born of poor parents What
food the poor give their children is of tie
variety that goes to make strong bones
and teeth. 1t is the outside of all the
grains, of all cereal foods, that contains the
carbonate and phosphate of lime and traces
of other earthly salts which nourish The
bony tissue and build the frame up.
If we do not furnish to the teeth of tine
young that pbulum they require, they
cannot possibly be built up. 1t is the out
side of corn, oates, wheat, barley, and the
like, or the bran so called, that we sifr
away and feed TO the ewine, that the teeth
actually require for their proper nourish-
ment. The wisdom of man has proven
his folly, shown in every succeeding genera
tion of teeth. which become more fragile
and weak. These Touring mills are work
ing destruction upon the teeth of every
man, woman and child who p5rtakes of
their fine bolted -four. They slft out the
carbonstes and the phosphates of lime in
order that they may provide that fioe
white -four which is proving whitened
sepulchre to the teeth.
Oatmeal is one of the best foods for sup
plying the teeth with nourshment. 1t
makes the bedtime, cementum and enamel
strong, flint-like and able to resist all
forms of decay If you have children
never allow any white bread upon your
table Bread made of whole wheat ground,
not bolted, so that the bran which con-
tains the minute quantities of lime is pres
snt, is best. To make good, wholesome,
nourishing bread, take two bowls of wheat
meal and one FOWL of white or bolted -four
and make by the usual process Nothing
is superior to brown bread for bone and
tooth building. This is made out of rye
meal and corn meal. Baked beans, too,
have considerable supply of these salts
and should be on your table, hot or cold,
three times q week. In brushing the
teeth always brush up and down from the
gums inste I'D of across. Brush away from
the gum and on the grinding surface of the
teeth.

"Ah here we are; now, then. Fits you

They seem to Re all right. By the way,
are these the same make of shoes that Mrs.

We'll, to tell you the truth, no. She
always wears make that cost dollar
pair more"
"But you said these were the very
best"
For wear and quality-so they are"
"Then why should Mrs. Lightfoot pay
dollar extra for hers?"
why she won't have any shoe but Fitem
& Co.'s, because she can wear size small
ler of theirs than she can of any
Others"
"Oh! but you really don't mean to say
that 1 could wear a number 2 shoe of
What's-his-name's make, do you ?"
Certainly you could. You see they
have got designer of patterns who is
perfect genius and who understands the
human foot the same as the schoolmaster
Goes his A B C's. He explained his system
to me one day, and find he is thoroughly
posted His idea is, in the first place, to
abbreviate the longitudinal pressure for
ward, and then, by propelling the lateral
distention sideways, he of course makes
the shoe a size shorter than it would have
been had he made it the full length"
Dear me! how simple that seems. And
you are sure 1 could wear No. of this
make? ?"
positive. Here's pair. Try them on and
see for yourself"
why, these are Just too nice for any
thing. They fit perfectly. They amt
BIT tight. Are you sure they are only twos ?"
"You can see for yourself. Size mark
stamped in plain figures on sole and lining.
There it is size No. 2, width A"
well, I'll take this pair, and after this
you won't catch me wearing any other
make"
This sounds like fiction, but it is literal
fact. The conversation took place just as
it is written with the exception of the
names. Although the measurement of the
woman's foot called for No. 3, she was
fitted perfectly with No.2. The explana-
ton is simply this: There are manufactur-
ers who, when ordering sets of lasts, in
struct the sellers to deliver them un-
stamped. The stamping is done in the
shoe factory, each last being marked half
size or q size smaller than it measures.
The uppers are numbered to match the
lasts and the deception is complete.

GEORGE L. WATSON.
Designer of the English Yacht Which
is to Contest for the Americas
Cup.

1t seems to be settled thing that Lord
Dunraven's new yacht, the Valkyrie, will
race against the Volunteer or another
American yacht, for the Americas cup, in
the fall of this year. The portrait is of
George L. Watson, the man who designed
the Valkyrie, and who also designed the
unsuccessful Thistle. Mr.. Watson is a
Scotchman and has an Office in Glasgow,
the city of his birth, which took place
about thirty seven years ago. His faith
was physician. When the time came for
DR.. Watson's son to choose profession he
preferred that of naval architect, and he
was articled to noted firm of shipbuild-
ers. After his apprenticeship was con-
cluded he served with firm specially in
terested in yachting In 1874 Mr.. Watson
began business for himself, as naval ar
chitect. The next year he made hit
with five tonner which easily beat the
best boat en- the Clyde. Since that time he
has designed yachts of reputation includ-
ing the Madge and the Thistle known in
this country.

CULTIVATION OF FLAX.
Its Production and Manufacture to be
thoroughly Tested.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Sipce the recent
publication in these dispatches of a letter
by the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
respecting the existence of machine that
will take flax fibre from the stalk without
wetting, the mail of the Department has
been burdened with letters on the subject,
showing the national interest. One re-
ceived was from q manufacturer in the
Northwest who has invested 100000 in
the business of fax manufacture. The
writer says he bad made two trips to Ire
land and Belgium and seen the machinery
referred to, and it confirms all that is
claimed. He further agrees with the
original writer that the country is on the
verge of great revolution in the produc-
tion and manufacture of fax. Consider
able interest is shown in the correspond
ence in the success of the experiment of
growing fax more abundantly, as a solu-
tion of the difficulties and burdens which
it is said are forced on the farmers of the
Northwest by the twine trust. The De-
partment is considering in connection with
the fax question the whole subject of the
growth of fibrous plants. especially ramie,
hemp and jute.

Pension Disburseme ents.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The pension ap-
preparation act for the current fiscal year
appropriated $50, 100000. 1t also appropri-
ated $1,000, 900 for the same purpose, to meet
threatened deficiency, making the total
appropriation $8s400,000. This whole
amount will be necess ary to meet the de-
mands of The pensioners and it may be
that there will be deficiency but it is
said at the pension office that there is no
truth in the statement. The sum of $685.
100000 will be expended for pensions dur
ing the fiscal year. II. G. Bell, chief of the
agents division of the pension office, to
whom is entrusted the duty of seeing to
the expenditures, says the appropriation
for the next iscal year of $50, 100000 is too
small and that there will be deficiency of
s15,O00,000. General T lack gays that they

The Mysterious Disappearance of a
Chicago Doctor.

The mystery of the disappearance of DR..
Cronip, of Chicago, deepens rather than
lessons. No dependence is placed in the
stories of his having been seen in Buffalo
and Toronto, and the presumption is that
these and other stories are manufactured
with the purpose of covering up crime
There seems to be evidence that the miss
ing man had foes who are members of
secret society. He was actively inter-
ested in the Irish question, and was a
member of a number of Irish societies.
Cronin went to Chicago from st. Louis,
taking with him letters of recommended
ton from Bishop Rya and General Sher-
man. He disappeared on Saturday even
ipg, May 4, when he was called away from
a patient by a man who importuned him
to assist a person that, he said, had been
severely injured. Cronin yielded and rode
off in the callers carriage. No certain
trace of him has been disclosed since.

The action of that New Jersey bank in
dumping $4,000 in silver on its floor in

Greenbacks are, but gold and silver GER
tifcates are not, except on taxes, custom
taxes and public dues. National bank
notes are not legal tenders, and can and
have often been refused in payment of
debts. Subsidiary coin is legal tender only
in limited quantities.
A gentleman went to the stamp window
of the post Office in a neighboring city and
called for 100 one cent stamps, rendering
in payment 100 one cent pieces.
Those are not legal tender in any such
amounts" growled the stamp clerk. Il
