down. The raw spot on Mr..
Smiths arm was dressed and ban
daged and he went away with the
assurance that in ten days it
would be all healed up without
a scar to show where it had been.
The subjects came rapidly and
were handled with readiness by
the expert attendants. A few were
dismissed because of advanced age
or some physical disqualification,
but very large majority of the
self-sacrificing templars barred their
arms to the bright blade and gave
away part Of themselves with
with commendable unconcern.
Thomas Currier made such an
excellent subject that three large
pieces were razored off.
The grating proceeded with
great rapidity and soon became q
matter of routine to the busy sur
geons in the operating-room. The
work was so divided and alternat-
ed that there was no delay and it
required only two minutes for the
transfer of one epidermal section.
Mr.. Dickerson was given no anaes-
thetics after the operatian began
and was wide awake most of the
time. He watched the busy sur
roundings with degree of interest,
returned the salutations of many
friends who entered and appeared
to be in a confident and comforta-
bic frame of mind. He went
through. the trial more creditably
than some of his fraternity BROTH
ers, as two of them tainted during
the proceedings, and many more
inquired anxiously for cold water.
Early in the work several favor
able subjects had been relieved Of
two or three large pieces, SO that
those who came at the last escaped
more easily. During the operation,
George L: Ward stood at the front
door of the hospital to exclude all
who could not give the proper
masonic signs and grips. He said
that it was private affair and
must not be interrupted by the
prying public. His responsible
duties at the front door prevented
him from submitting to the surgi.
cal razor.
It is the hope and belief of the
knights that their afflicted brother
will soon recover and take his
place among them. DIR. Fenger
and the other physicians held out
much encouragement. 1t will be
ten days before the success or fail
ure of the experiment will be
known. If successful the place
should be thoroughly healed over
in thirty days. 1t is thought that
the carcinoma or cancer is entirely
removed and if the grated skin
takes hold and grows Mr.. Dicker-
son will soon be almost as we'll as
ever. Even if some of the pieces
fail to attach themselves the others
will spread over the small uncov-
cred surfaces and complete the
mending process.

KNIGHTS OF OLD OUTDONE.
To Save Brothers. Life, 1872 knights
Templar Submit to the Knife.
John O. Dickerson has been for
the last twenty years connected
with a Chicago gas office. He
is A years of age and widower,
his wife having died several years
ago. Since 1870 he has been
recorder of the St. Bernard COM
mandery of the Knights Templar
and during that time has been act
i've in masonic work. About a
year ago he became affected with a
cancerous growth on his thigh and
right hip, which rapidly developed
into a dangerous condition. Last
summer DR.. Fenger performed a
surgical operation, cutting away
the diseased portions of the skin
and flesh to such an extent that
the epidermis could not again join
and cover the exposed surface. In
other respects the patient improved
rapidly. The surgeons made an
attempt to cover the place with a
piece of goat-ekin. This promised
to be successful, but the piece was
too large and had to be removed.
Then DR.. Fenger announced that
the only certain method of healing
the patient was to graft small
pieces ofhuman skin on the exposed
and tender surface. St. Bernard
commandery heard Of this and
Immediately offered to furnish as
many subjects as the surgeons de-
sired. It was suggested that $50
members volunteer to assist in
patching up the afflicted brother.
The volunteers were readily forth
: coming, and yesterday at the emer-
gency hospital, where Mr.. DECKER
son has been lying for a long time,
a dozen surgeons assisted in trans
ferring strips Of epidermis from the
intrepid knights to the body Of the
patient sufferer on the cot.
Whed the last patch was neatly
set in to fill up small corner
Surgeon Fenger announced with
some satisfaction that the opera
ton gave every appearance Of being
a signal success.
Elaborate instructions had been
cent to those who had volunteered
to pass through the ordeal. Each
candidate was to avoid undue exer-
else and abstain from alchoholic
stimulants for twenty.four hours
preceding the operation. He was
to take a tub or sponge bath and

ing and come to the hospital with

tons had been conscientio usly fol-
lowed.
Everything was in readiness
when they arrived and Sir knight
Smith was led into the operating
room to contribute the first patch
toward the IA square inches re-
quired. DR.. Plattenburg had ad-
ministered small quantity of
nitrous oxide gas to the patient on
the operating table-enough to
make him partially unconscious.
Mr.. Smith slipped off his coat and
vest, rolled up the left sleeve of his
shirt aud placed himself at the
mercy Of the wise men. Two of
them with brush and sponge
scrubbed the fiexor or under sur
face of his arm until it tingled to

hol to dissolve and wash away any
microbes or minute particles. When

The Word Cash"

The word "cash" is understood to be
derived from the Italian "cassa,' the
chest where Italian merchants kept their
money, as do at the present time the
Spaniards in their "caja," the Portu-
guese in their "caza" and the French in
their "caisse." The application of the
word leash" to money is English, it not
having a corresponding term in any
other European language. "Cash" hav-
ing been so inconsiderably adopted in
stead of "cassa" (chest), entries to the
cash book Gt should be chest bool) are
made in American and English count
ing houses in this unmeaning way,
Cash Dr." and "Cash Cr.," whereas the
chest, and not the money, is debtor to
what is put into it and creditor for what
is taken out.
Great mischief has too often arisen, as
is well known, in bankrupt trials from
misuse Of the word "cash," in which
large deficiencies often appear, and
which would not be the case if the word
chest were used, as it ought to be. In
stead of the cash account in the ledger
it should be the "chest" account.
