the surgical treatment OF WOUNDS by bnds
were recently brought by NJ Fatio before
the Physical society of Geneva. Hequoted
the case Of the snipe, which he had often
observed engaged in repairing damages.
With its beak and feathers it makes a very
creditable dressing, applying plasters to
bleeding wounds, and even securing a
broken limb by means of a stout ligature.
On one occasion he killed "a snipe which
had on the chest large dressing composed
of down taken from other parts of the
body and securely fixed to the wound by
the coagulated blood. Twice he had
brought hoEle snipe with interviewer feath-
ers strapped on to the site of the fracture
of one or other limb.
The most interesting example was that
of snipe, both of whose legs he had I'M
fortunately broken by misdirected shot.
He recovered the animal only on the day
following, and he then found that the poor
bird had contrived to apply dressings and
a sort of splint to both limbs. In carrying
out this operation some feathers had be-
come entangled around the beak, and not
being able to use its claws to get rid of
them, it was almost dead from hunger
when discovered In a case recorded by
M. Magnin, snipe which was observed to
fly away with a broken leg was subsequent
ly found to have forced the fragments into
a parallel position, the upper fragments
reaching to the knee, and secured there by
means of strong band of feathers and
moss intermingled The observers were
particularly struck by the application of a
ligature of kind of fiat leafed grass
wound round the limb, of spiral form,
and fixed by means of a sort of glue, Med

What One Girl Did with SO a Week.

of six dollars a week or less, never more,
how is a girl to dress herself respectfully,
go to an occasional ball, pay her share of
the weekly family expenses, give away

Only one girl has thus far arrived at the
solution, and she is the girl who accom-.

girls in the up town working girls club
to which she belongs.

did duty three years with such variety of
