MARVELLOUS SURGERY.
Part or the Brain of Four-Year- Old
Child Amputatoi.

Part OF the Israin of Four-Year- Old
Child Amputatoi.
A remarkable operation vas success
fully performed at the Cook County
hospital recently on littlo four-year-
old child named Mamie Brown.
Last August, says the Chicago Daily
Globe, Manic was admitted to the hos
pital suffering from q severe fracture OF
the skull. The entire left side of tho
head had been crushed in by a kick
from horse. A trephining operation
was performed and the patient seemed
on the road to rapid recovery. After
several days curious growth was no
tlced on the head and behind and above
tho left ear. An examination revealed
the fact that tho dura matter. or tho
tough membrane covering the brain,
had been broken and the brain was
forcing itscl. through the aperture and
out through tho fractured skull. The
brain continued to run out, forming
what is called hernia Of the brain, until
enough had como out to make lump
rs large as n walnut. 1t was decided
tiat tho only way TO save tho child's
;ifo was TO remove tho matter. 1t was
seen that an attempt to replace it. would
be useless, and 1t was determined to re-
move the protruding portion.
Tho patient was chloroformcd and the
surgeons removed tho brain mattcr.
Tho operation was in every way sue
ccsSful, and in Il short time tho little
gil was running around the wards as
bright as any little four-year-old in
town.
There was great danger of impairing
either her speech organs or her eye
sight, but neither have suffered.

eARNum's ATHLETIC TRAINING.
Tho Old Showman's Experience Ia tho
S,,wdust Ring.

Tho Old showman's Experience Ia tho
s,,wdust Ring.
It is not gcndSally known that BAR
mum has all his life long been an ath-
'ete. and that In his younger days he
was as slsillful performer on he
trapezc as some OF the professional
acrobats in his employ. When he first
went into the circus business, says the
Chicago Evening journal, Barnum
satisfied himself thnt in order To make
n success of it he would have to TO
familiar with every department and all
matters pertaining TO it. He accord
ingly went into training. and within n
year was able to turn IL handspring and.
walk the tight rope with the best Of
them. On several occasions when his
principal performers were taken i'll,
Barnum disguised himself and did their
turns" OF course, the audience was
not aware Of this, for Barnum always
dislikcd to be known as n performer.
But when he had begun togrow pros
porous and it was no longer necessary
for him to act Barnum stopped per-
practicing in private. When he built
the wonderful Persian palncc. Iran
istan. in Bridgeport, he had large
room set apart as gymnasium. where
he exercised one or two hours every
day. 1t was fitted up with nll the APP
pliances and improvements of n gym
nasium, and there Barnum used to
swing Indian clubs, practice jumping.
tumbling and all the other acrobatic
tricks OF bone and limb. In all tho
exercises he was Of course nttircd in
tights.
His athletic costume consisted OF n
white shirt. blue silk trunks, yellow
hose and cream slippers, with black
tips. Sometimes he varied his appear
nncc by wearing green satin trunks or
Il buff-colored shirt He still has these
garments preserved in trunk. which
is not open to general inspection. When
Iranistan was destroyed by fire Barnum
built Wnldcrnere. and there, too. he had
private gymnasium. fitted up like the
first, with all the improvements. There
he continued his acrobatic capers in
private, and so built up the splendid CON
stitution which has just carried him
through almost n fatal illness.
Waldcmcre gave place in time to his
present residence, Marina, which faces
the sound. and. although age has stolen
uponhim. Barnum when in health keecs
up his old habits OF exercise, though of
course In modified degree. lie has
gymnasium connected with his house,
and there he still swings clubs occa-
or works the dumb bells. He
does not turn hnndsprings any more,
nor walk the tight rope. He has as well
discarded his athletic costume, but he
exercises sufficiently to retain his vigor
and cheerfulness. There are no trees
on his grounds. SO he is deprived of
Gladstone's favorite pursuit of wood
chopping. The ncrobatic side of Bar
NUNS nature has never before been
written up. This is because his innate
modesty made him hesitate about tell
ing Of 1t to more than few friends,
who were pledged to secrecy, but like
every thing else it had to come out, and
now it Is u secret no longer.
