A Fair Fraud.

A FARNrER named Schmidt, living near
Oshkosh, reported to the police that he
had been robbed of $50 by farm hand.
He said year agoa young man came to
him for employment. He hired him, but
he could not stand the field work, and,
as he proved to be handy around the
house, he was put to work there. The
wife of the farmer discovered. week
ago, that their empioye was girl, mas
querading in male attire The latter
suspected that her sex was known to the
farmers wife and fed, taking the $50
with her. She gave the name of Robert
Johnson, of Pine River.

Water an Anasthetic.

A rather remarkable discovery has Just
been made by DR.. G. l.. SLEIGH, of Ber-
lin, Germany. He was conducting ex-
periments with q view to determine how
weak solution of cocoaine would prove
eficacious as a local anasthetic in minor
surgical operations, when he stumbled on
the fact that simple water injected under
the skin with q syringe rendered the flesh
at that point insensible to pain.
The effect of the water is to create a
slight swelling resembling that caused by
the sting of a gnat. The space marked
by the swelling remains insensible TO
pain for some minutes, so that missions
can be made without causing the slight
est pain. The method of procedure is
very simple. The skin at the point
where the injection is to be made is first
made perfectly aseptic, then the point of
a Pravaz syringe filled with distilled
water is inserted. The syringe is slowly
emptied, and a white blister appears,
similar to that caused by gnat's sting.
The size of the swelling will depend upon
the amount of water used. A half min
ute after the syringe is withdrawn, the
space distinctly marked by the blister is
insensible, and can be cut into without
causing pain. The pain caused by the
insertion of the syringe can be at once
allayed by spraying with ether.
To what extent this novel discovery
will prove of practical worth in surgery
cannot yet be determined. DIR. SLEIGH
made use of it in the case of huge car
buncle on the upper thigh. After the in
lection Of water the doctor laid the car
buncle open by cross missions eight
centimeters in length, and scooped out
the dead tissue, the patient declaring
that the operation gave slight pain. This
treatment has no ilI-effect on the healing
of the wound. In the case mentioned the
cuts at once reunited and healed per-
fectly.

THE VOICES or EARTH.


We have not heard the music off,, spheres,
The song of star 10 star; but there are
sounds
More deep than human Joy or human tears,
That natu uses in her common rounds;
The fall of streams the cry of winds that
strain
The oak, the roaring of the seas surge,
might
Of thunder breaking afar off, CIR rain
That falls by m nutes in the summer night.
These are the voices of earth>s secret soul,
Uttering the mystery from which she came;
To him who hears them grief beyond control,
Or JOY inscrutable without name
Wakes in his heart thoughts Luried there,
impearled
Before the birth and maxi of the world.
