A Leg of Mutton Drama.

A curious affair with a serious ending
happened to butcher in the Central
Market in Paris, yesterday. 1t appears
that the keeper of restaurant in the
Ternes quarter bought ten-pound leg of
mutton from him, and to his surprise,
about an hour afterwards the butcher
called and asked to be allowed to take
the Joint back again. The restaurant
keeper wondered what the reason was
and refused his wonder increased when
the butcher offered him $50 for the joint,
and it increased still more, when on his
refusing, the man uouurcu ms Uncr.
Thinking there must be some reason for
this absurd liberality. for the butcher
seemed perfectly sane, mine host held of
and the butcher made final bid of 500.
This convinced the hotel proprietor that
the leg must be stuffed with something
valuable. perhaps with gold, as the but
cher became very excited. So he re-
fused.
When the joint was cooked and
brought to the table the host as he put
his knife in, struck something hard, and
expecting rich find removed slice after
slice until he came to an iron weight
which turned the scale at two pounds
The irate proprietor went to the market,
found the butcher, and had him arrested,
and to add insult to injury gave him a
thorough kicking. Though whether
it was for blighting his hopes or for sell
ing iron at the price of meat, he did not
condescend to say Boston Transcript.

A NEW BONE GROWS.
Remarkable Surgical Case in q Bos.
ton Hospital.

Last April DIR. +. II. Bradford. OF
Boston, removed diseased thigh bone
from the ley of boy at the Children
Hospital in that city. Since that time q
new bone has grown in place, and the
prospects are the boy will have n sound
limb to walk with before next Christ
mas.
The operation of sesquiotomy is not
new to surgery, but the cases are ex-
tremely rare in which so large bone has
been replaced by nature. In this instance
the piece cut away was about nine
inches in length. The limb was laid
open from the knee joint to the hip aud
the disease bone tissue removed. The
periosteum, or skin of the bone, how
ever, was carefully preserved, for upon
1t depended the success Of the opera
ton, it being a well-cstablishcd fact in
surgery that healthy periosteum will re-
produce lost bone tissue.
The wound in the leg was kept open
to prevent the flesh from healing into
the place intended for the new bone. In
the course of time delicate shoots. re-
sembling cora; growths, appeared upon
the periOsteum. and these gradually in
terlaced and knit together, filing the
hiatus between the hip and the knee.
When the new growth was sufficiently
established, the lips of the wound were
sewed together and the boy was dis
charged from the hospital as cured.
1t will be some months yet before the
leg will be serviceable, but there is every
reason to believe that it will eventually
become as sound as its mate. During
the time required for the growth of the
new tissue the limb was extended to its
full length by an arrangement Of weights
and pulleys and kept in position by
plaster of Paris bandages. This was TO
prevent shrinkage and consequent
shortening of the limb.
A similar operation was successfully
performed few years ago by DIR. George
i. Shrady at the Presbyterian Hospital
in this city. An entirely new bone was
reproduced from the shoulder to the ell
bow in the arm of man who had lost
the original bone as the result of an ac-
cident.-LNew York Recorder.

Electricity for Rheumatism.

Standing among the electrical devices
exhibited at Washington recently an old
doctor with nearly hatf century OF
of electricity in case of sciatic rheuma-
tism. He did not apply the current to
cure the rheumatism, but for a very differ
ent purpose The current was so applied
that it would run along the patients leg.
That was the part affected. All previous
treatment had failed to give relief. AS
the current coursed along it created no
unpleasant sensation save in one pan ticu-
lar spot, where it burned so that the pa
tient screamed out. That spot the doctor
cues: ed was the seat of all the trouble.
He applied fly blister directly over tile
spot OF course the skin came off. The
doctor put on another blister. The result,
quickly, was deep sore which dis
charged freely for a few days. There
was Immediate relief from the rheuma-
tism. The sore rapidly healed. The
patient left his bed and walked. No
other attack has occurred.
was that the sheath Of the nerve had be.
como attached to the nerve, and there
was an impediment of the nerve cir
culation and consequent rheumatism of
the whole limb. The electric current
ran along the nerve until it struck the
part where the sheath interfered.
There it burned. The blistering started
the sore and relieved the interference
of the sheath with the nerve. Then
the whole trouble was removed. Il New

Mrs. Maybrick had murdered her husband
