KANSAS CHURCHES.
Deaf and Dumb.

From the Wichita Eagle
The services ii the South Emporis
NJ. E church Sunday morning and
evening were of character that is
seldom Witnessed in this city. but they
were quite interesting. Rev. Nus5aum
preached both sermons, and they were
interpreted in the deaf and dumb sign
language, by DR.. Walker, of the deaf
and dumb college at Olathe.
There is religious society OF about
thirty members of these people in and
near this city, who hold their regular
services, have their leaders, officers, ETC.,
the same as any other organization.
Occasionally they have public services
or meet, as they did this time. with
another society, and have the sermon
and hymns interpreted.
After the preaching services Sunday
morning the mutes recited psalm and
several hymns in their sign language,
which were interpreted BY DR.. Walker
and were very interesting indeed.
In conversation with an Eagle repre-
sentative the doctor stated that through
his interpretation the mutes obtained
the same expression and feeling from
the Sermons as if they had heard them
and some OF them seemed considerably
affected thereby, too.
Some OF the mutes were baptized BY
Rev. N1sbaum Sunday efternoou.

Renewing the EpI1ernIs

a lew days since, says the Boston
Herald. at the Massachusetts, general
hospital, little instrument, invented
by LII. Mixter. wonderful in its SIM
pnclty, constructed SO a. to separate
quite large portions of epidermis from
the subcutaneous tissue, was used for
the first time.
The patient had been etherized, and
had undergone operation for the re-
moval of cancerous growth from the
left breast, and the wound thus made
was quite An extensive one. The instru-
ment was applied to the anterior portion
OF the right thigh, and three strips,
about an inch wide by six inches long,
were taken off and tranaplanted to the
exposed surface of the breast. The oper-
stion OF removing the skin and trans
planting it to its new quarters did not
occupy more than about six minutes.
A very few days suflced to restore
the denuded surface of the thigh to its
normal condition, leaving few traces Of
the reparative process to which it has
contributed, and, other things being
equal, the surface from which the can
cerous tumor had been excised will heal
over by first intention, thus saving the
patient from prolonged and painful
period of convalescence. OF course,
every precaution is taken, by the use Of
sterillzing processes and anticeptic so
lutions, to render the operation thor
oughly aseptic, so that the chances of
infammatory disturbances from bacte-
rial sources are reduced to the lowest
minimum,

one-sixtieth of an inch, and the result

eous oozing one gets from too earn

Of the new over the old method of cpl
dermic detachment are obvious. It is
expeditions, the sections of shaved cuti-
Gle are much larger and of more uni
form thickness than can be obtained by
the most dexterous manipulation, and
the chances of successful grating are
enhanced by the fact that the skin is
transplanted while the cellular ele'
ments are in their full vital activity.

I resided in England during the whole
of the dreadful year 1893, and portion
of 1874 There WAS welcomed with
the utmost kindness by the Marquis Of
Lansdowne, whom I had known in
Paris; he was anobleman of lofty views,
gifted with abundant and lively powers
Of elocution. He was still free from the
infrmities of old age. Some people
brought against him the commonplace
accusation of being too clever-an 40
cusation by means of which, in England
rs we'll as in France, people keep at q
distance ell the men whose superiority
gives them umbrage That is the only
reason why he never wxs in Office again.

sold 1000 bushels of his crop to the
Hunter Milling company at 20 cents
per bushel.
Wellington Press: A great deal OF
wheat has been sold at 20 cents. Most
of the farmers will store before they
will take this. They are right. There lie
no use Of losing the result o. their
labor and good luck. If the alliance
can prevent the sacrifice of the magnif-
cent crop they will do the people some
good.
Kingman Leader: J. G. Sears, OF
Owego, N. Y, is in the city looking
after important property interests. He
has some 800 acres of wheat in the
county and will remain until it is in the
stack. He is much pleased with the
general outlook in the state and thor
oughly satisfied with his Kansas pos
sessions.
Beloit Gail: It is no extravagant
prediction to believe that many of the
wheat fields of old Mitchell county will
roll in the measure forty bushels of
prime wheat for ed u acre brought to
the machine. We hear of several pieces
containing upwards of hundred acres
that the most conservative estimates
place the yield at the above figures.
Santa Fe Monitor: Uncle John An.
lerson informed us that his wheat,
which he considered almost lost q couple
of weeks ago on account of q local
hail-storm that struck it, is now going
to be about the best he has, the late
rains having brought it out in fine
shape. Thus are the misfortunes of
southwest Kansas turned into bless
ings.
Leavenworth Times: w. 81. Short
ridge, prominent farmer of Little
Stranger, gives very discouraging re-
port of the condition of the wheat in
his part of the county. He says that
the excessive rains have caused the
wheat to rot, and while the straw Is OK
cellent in appearance, the heads are
very bad. Corn will not make half a
crop, and the same can be said of the
potato crop.
Council Grove Republican: Alfalfa
is destined to revolutionize farming in
Kansas, because it will produce three
tons of feed for stock where one is now
grown. A field of alfalfa commences
to grow two months before our native
grass, and continues two months longer.
When cut and cured for hay it retains
its superior fine quality, which is rel
ished by the stock. It produces three
times as much feed to the acre as our
native grass, and twice as much a.
clover.
