Bone Graftiug.

A. G. Miller, in the Lancet, reports the
history of case in which he used de-
calcified bone chips successfully to fill
up large cavity in the head of the
tibia. A piece of the rib of an OK was
used, being first scraped and then de-
calcified in a weak solution of hydro
chloric acid. After cleansing, by pres
sure, it was placed for forty eight hours
in carbolic acid solution, one to twenty,
then removed, and cut into small pieces.
During the scraping out of the cavity in
the knee, preparatory to the grating, a
number of small pieces of bone were re-
NOV, 1. These were placed in solu-
tion { boric acid for use later in the
operation. The cavity was then stuffed
with the decalcified bone shavings, the
pieces of fresh bone being added last.
The cavity thus filled was about two
inches in diameter. Granulation and
healing took place rapidly; the only
pieces of bone that became necrosed were
from the patients own body. The author
is convinced, from his observation of
this case, that the healing of large bone
cavities, the result of injury or disease,
is greatly facilitated by stuffing them
with decalcified-bone chips, that these
are superior to fresh bone, aud that
fresh bone not only is of no use, but
actually hinders the process of granula-

Zululand and Cetewayo.

Zululand is situated on the eastern
coast Of Africa, north of Natal. Its
area is about 10000 square miles, and
its population before the war with Eng
land, in 1879, was about 250p00. This
war, which brought the Zulus and their
king, Cetewayo, into prominent notice,
was forced upon them by the representa-
tives of the British Government in Natal,
who had long been anxious to annex the
country. In order to have some pre-
tense for a forcible occupation of the
land, Sir Bartle Frere demanded of
Cetewayo that large fines in cattle should
be paid for offenses of the Zulus on the
border; that he should disband his
army, and not attempt to form it again;
and that he should allow British officer
to live in Zululand and assist him in adj
ministering the government. This,
naturally, brought about the desired
war.
At first the Zulu army, which num-
bered about 1900 men, was successful
in every battle, and had Cetewayo de-
sired TO push his advantage after the
battle at Isandlwana he could have
crossed the border and completely ami
hilated the English; but from the first
he insisted that he was fighting on the
defensive only, and his soldiers were
under strict orders not to go over into
Natal to fight. The final battle in the
war was fought on July A, 1879, result
ing in total defeat of the Zulu army,
and on August 13 Cetewayo was taken to
Cape Town as prisoner. Subsequently
he was taken to England, but in Decem-
Der, 1882, he was reinstated King of
Zululand, to rule it as a vassal of Eng
land. In 1883 he was wounded in
battle with one of the subordinate chiefs,
who had been left in possession of a
large tract of country at the north, and
died at Natal in March, 1884. 1t was
in the Zulu war that the young Prince
Imperial of France was killed, he having
joined the English army in search of
renown.-Brooklyn Citizen.

WINTER WEATHER.

When stems OF elms may rise in row,
Dark-brown, from hillocks under snow.
And woods may reach as black as night,
BY sloping fields Of cleanest white:-
If shooters by the snowy rick
Where trees are light, and wood is thick,
Can mark the tracks the game may prick,
They like the winter weather.
Or where may spread the gray-blue sheet
Office, for skaters gliding feet,
That they uplift, from side to side,
Long yards, and sit them down to slide.
Ot sliders, one that totters slack
OF limb; and one that's ON his back;
And one upright that keeps his track,
Have fun in winter weather
When we at night, in snow and gloom,
May seek some neighbor's lighted room;
Though snow may show no path before
The house, we still can find ths door;
And there as round the brands may spread
The creeping fire, of CHEEKY red
Our feet from snow, from wind our head,
Are warm in winter weather.
Wherever day may give our road,
By hills or hollows over showed,
By windy gaps or sheltered hooks,
Or bridged ice of frozen brooks.
Still may we all, as night may come,
Know where to find peaceful home,
And glowing fire for fingers numb
With cold in winter weather.

Blue Jaekets Are MOstly AmerIcang.

"There is a general impression that
our naval service is full OF foreigners, 4"
said Lieutenant Simonson to me. The
lieutenant was formerly in the navy, but
is now engaged in private enterprises.
He continued: 81 often hear gentlemen
say with great assurance that our navy
is recruited largely from natives of Nor
way and Sweden, who are good sailors.
This is only true in so far as it imputes
sailorlike qualities to the scandinavian
race. The facts are that about one-half
the men in the naval service of the United
States are native born Americans. l was
at the navy yard in Brooklyn when the
Maine was launched, and ran over the
roster of her men. She has a total of
AT, not counting officers. OF these 1913
were native Americans. The next high
est nationality was Irish, 50; then the
Scandinavlans, 70; and after that l did
not explore any further. have no doubt
but the men on the Maine are a far ex-
ample of the entire navy. Nearly all of
the sailors are naturalized Americans,
whether born in France, Germany or
Great Britain. "-NetO FORK Press.

SlaYOnic Customs.

1t is customary in Polish villages to
strew straw over the Christmas Eve sup
per tables, and for the young people,
blindfolded or in the dark, to pick out
each a straw therelrom. Should the
straw be green, the lucky maiden ex-
poets to wear bridal wreath or the
youth to lead 1 bride to the altar during
the approaching year; but a dried straw
foretells either long waiting, possibly
even until death
sin other rural Polish districts, on the
'Christ's Eve, wine, beer and water are
placed by a girl between two candles on
a table. She then retircs into a corner
or an adjoining room to watch the re-
suit reflected in a mirror hung for this
purpose. If, as the clock strikes mid
night, a man enters and drinks the wine,
she is happy, for her wooer will be
rich. Should he drink the beer, she
may be content, for the wooer will be
'well-to do If the water be chosen,
her husband will be very poor. But if,
as the clock strikes, no man comes to
her table, the anxious maiden shiyers
with more than midnight terror, believ-
ing that she is doomed to be early the
bride of death.
"Poland is peculiarly rich in these ob
servances, spreading themselves through
out the year, both sexes being equally
superstitious in this respect. On New
Years Eve the young unmarried men
place themselves before a fire, and bend
ing down, look beneath their legs. Should
a woman appeer in the back ground, it
is the one they will marry; but if they
see a shape as Of a coffin, it forbodes for
them death during the year close at
hand. - MamJerS's Journal.

An Ocean Paradise.

The Island of Hogolen, in the Poly
nesia, is an immense coral atoll, 1870
miles in circumference, having four en-
trance passages. On the reef and with
in it are seventy islands, four of which,
near the middle, are high basatic masses
about thirty miles each in circumference,
magnifcently fertile, yielding spontan-
eously many valuable products, situ-
ated in the midst of rockbound lake
ninety miles long by half that width.
This unknown ocean paradise has been
for ages an arena of combat between two
hostile races, one copper colored, inhab-
iting the two western of the great inte-
rior isles, the other upon the two eastern,
a darker people with long, straight hair.
The two tribes are supposed to number
over 20, OOO.-Asiatie quarterly Re0ieo.

THE RAcA

To live is but to nobly strive
To strive against the savage earth,A
Against the tireless days that drive 9,
Men deathward from their hours Of birth
Hope, love and prayer-these things are real,
More sweet and precious than we know;
Yet, like star-glimpses, they reveal
The sombre skies above below.
And whatif some cry; God, forbeari
And others still: Why live at all?
Life moves through triumph or despair
Toits Creators deathless call.
Though one man falters on his way,
And one stands railing TO the end,
There is no hand nor will to stay
That purpose which is foe or friend.
That purpose which exalts soul,
Even while it robs a soul of grace,
Which sinks the atom in the whole,
The individual in the race.

so easily corroded, can be worked more
readily, and could be soldered as easily
as bronze.

No matter how high the rank of a
Chinese official he seldom recovers from
his greed Tor presents. A Canton man.
DARN is now bewailing this fact, for on
a recent visit of the Viceroy Iii to his
province he presented that dignitary with
a pair of lions, cut in jade stone, of great
value. He imagined the Viceroy would
admire the work and then return it, but
what was his amazement when he re-
ceived a gracious letter accepting his
gift. 1t seems he borrowed the jade
lions, and now he is negotiating with the
owner, who demands a small fortune for
the property. 1t will go hard with the
mandarin's subjects this winter, as it will
take many squeeze of rich and poor
in the province to reeoup his loss.

Japan now has on paper complete
legal system, abreast of the times. The
remaining portions of the Civil Code
have been promulgated, and the Criminal
Codes, which went into effect in 1882
have been revised. These latter take
effect at once, but the Civil Code does
not go into operation till January LIST,
1893. This appears to be very simple
