Remarkable Surgery.

To a New York hospital was brought
lately a little lad of years, suffering from
epilepsy. 4 hurt to his head year or two
before was believed to be the cause. lie
was put into oae - be U'e-;;i,s 40 faithful
nurse with him, and carefully watched
For some time he remained. Every con
vulsiou was noted. 1t was set down in a
book how the attacks seized him, which
way he threw up his arms, which way he
tossed his head, which part of his body
stiiiened and became helpless under the
paroxysms
The surgeon in attendance decided, from
a study of these notes, that the injury to
the child's head had caused lesion in n
certain part of the brain, and that was the
source of the epilepsy. He located to his
own satisfaction the spot where the brain
lesion existed.
On given day an operation was per
formed. The boy was rendered insensible
| by ether. Then a piece of his skull was
delicately and skillfully cut out over the
| place where the doctor had located the
lesion The piece of skull was deposited
in vessel of warm, sterilized water while
the operation was in progress.
Ii was moment of in'~r~~ interest
when the h~cir wa uncovered to vsevv snd
there exactly where the surgeon had
located it, was the wound he had expect
ed. The injured part was removed by the
surgeons knife, the circular piece of skull
quickly and skillfully sewn on again, the
head bound mp and the little patient allow
ed to come to life.
To prove that the surgeon was right in
his diagnosis as to the cause of the cpl
lepsy the commissions ceased after the in
jured brain was removed, and the child
was recovering rapidly at last accounts.

Salem Witchcraft.

Some yonng girls have of late been do
ing such things at Salem in Massachusetts,
as would have caused very serious trouble
had they been done two centuries ago in
that sleepy old town. A short time since
it was found that the organ in the North
Church refused to work, and investigation
showed that the water motor of the in8tru-
ment had been tampered with by some
person or persons unknown. Then the
ceiling, which had hitherto maintained it's
integrity, was discovered to be cracked in
various places. as if by the presence OF
some heavy weight bearing down upon it.
Traces Of birthstone were found in the
belfry, and the hymn books of the choir
were inscribed with names which should
never have appeared in them. All these
things troubled the inhabitants of Salem,
but little quiet examination resulted in
showing that there was nothing of more
Importance in them than the fact that, at
loss for something better 10 do num-
ber of Salem girls had formed an "invinci-
Bile league" each member of which was in
honor bound to do what the leader did.
One of their ambitions was to climb every
church tower in town, and in the pursuit
of this lofty ambition one of the girls had
fallen from beam above the ceiling of the
North Church, and had cracked the plas.

Girls Not So Anxious TO Wed.

One of the most striking features of the
century now dragging to close, to those
who can remember clearly the last thirty
years, is the changed attitude of the fairer
sex toward the world and its affairs. Then
the ambition OF every young woman was
to be married. Marriage was success in
life, spinsterhood was failure. Nothing
but some pronounced and approved mis-
sion in life could excuse single blessedness
in woman.
Today our young girls are more likely
to show a desire to be self. supporting and
independent The term "old maid" is no
longer obnoxious To them. They pant for
practical education. The girls of the fam
lily are often more earnest students than
the boys. They think more Of making
their own living than they do of making
an advantageous match. They envy those
of their sex who make good incomes by
the work of brains and hands instead of
disparaging such work. - Detroit Free
