Bone-Cntilnr br ,lrcirlclir.

Removal Of sections OF bone IN surgical
operations has heretofore been long, tedi.
Gus process, effected with inallet, chisel,
Rouges, etc. II is, perhaps, the most brutal
and unscientiic method which could be
adopted, and sounds like the operative
butchery which existed in the last century.
This has all been reformed by an invention
called the electric osteotome, says the Lon.
don Electrical Engineer, which is an instru.
ment holding circular saw at its extrem.
ity, revolved with lightning speed by an
electric motor. This, when held against
bone, makes a clean cut through IL In a
few seconds; In fact, It's action is instantane-
ous. BY holding the osteotome in q slant
Ing position, wedge-shsped pieces can be
cut out with equal promptitude. There is
no danger Of the saw cutting the soft parts,
as they are protected by retractor, an in
strument which is passed down and under
the bone.

An English lady living temporarily In the
United States notices that the house sery.
ants do q deal moro work here than in the old
country; yet that our servants are relieved
Of some work that is necessary there-the
taking OF hot and cold water 10 sleeping.
rooms In some houses, and the care OF O fire
In every room by reason OF no furnace in
the cellar. She insists upon the superiority
OF stoves here over fire-places In England
In cold weather, and says that the kitchen
stove here burns much less coal than II
does there. The use OF bltuminous coal IN
England Is one cause OF some OF these
troubles. The independence Of the domestic
servants In America is another noticeable
fact Us might be expected in democratic
country. As a sample OF the greater con-
veniences here. the carpet sweeper Is men
