Skin-Graftfup.

A remarkable case in skin-grafting has
been in progress at Bellevue Hospital the
last six months. Mrs. Minnie L. Wilcke is
the person who has been operated on. She
l. the woman whose entire scalp and left
ear were torn off en- December 26th of last
year by some machinery in the Cooperative
Laundry. Eighth avenue and Twenty-third
street. The operation Of grating skin
from the limbs Of Mr.. WiIcke, her husband,
was commenced a few days after Mrs.
Wilcke's removal to the hospital by DR..
Woods, the house surgeon. The operations
were performed at long intervals by Dr.
Woods and were continued by his successor,
DIR. Zerega.
As only narrow strip three inches long
and an inch wide cnuld be transplanted at
one time, the process Of covering the raw
flesh on Mrs. Wilcke's head was slow. BY
patching the left eyebrow the power Of
using the eyelid has been restored. No eff
forts have ever been made to replace the
left ear. Only about half of the scalp has
been grated.
Mrs. Wilcke was seen Monday in Ward 10
of Bellevue Hospital by Times reporter.
She said that she was feeling perfectly well,
but she feared that she would have to re-
main in the hospital until next Christmas"
at the rate the operations were being per-
formed.-N. Y. Times.

PERILS OF GLACIER BAY.
An Exciting Passage Through a Fleet O
Icebergs.

An Exciting Passage Through a Fleet of
Icebergs.
In Mrs. Coils narrative of her voyage
through the inland seas of the Sitkan Archi-
pelago she describes somewhat exciting
passage through fleet of icebergs in Glacier
Bay. 1t was of the greatest Importance to
keep the ship moving ahead, though her ad-
vance could be measured only by inches
At one time the captain ran halfway up the
foremast, glasses in hand, and for some
MINUTES, like the icture of Farragut in
Mobile Bay, shouted his orders to the vince J.
house.
After this he resumed his monotonous and
nervous pacing upon the bridge, all the while
steering his immense vessel with such deX-
terty aud mathematical precision that as the
cakes of ice were upturned and fell grace
fully in our wake, it was easy to see that the
course selected was always the one of least
resistance.
IL took note of few of the expressions
whose magnetic influence twisted and
turned u around in such beautiful curves,
some of which were: 'Starboard, sir!
Slow her! why don't he slow her when
tell himY Stop herr Go tell that en-
gineer if he don't obey the signals quicker.
the first thing he knows he'll have one of
these boys III his engine-ro0m! .Hard-a-
port, sir! Port herr steady, now! Keep
your eye on the compass, thereP Put an
extra man at the wheel!'
In the midst OF this strain, when the
slightest error of judgment might have been
fraught with disaster, the chief steward-it
was his first voyage with Captain Carroll
was seen ascending the ladder with a bowl
of steaming coffee.
i've brought you a cup Of coffee" said
the steward, with outstretched hand.
Take it away, sir ! When | want coffee
I'll send for it," shouted the skipper.
What became of the steward FL don't
know, but do know that few scraps of
sentences were floating about the asmos-
phere for several mnutes, such as:
Nice time for coffee! Port her! Steady !
Pretty time to be drinking coff"e Star
board little! Coffee, indeed! Slow her,
sir! Slow her, l say! Coffee!
1t is proper to add, however, that few
hours later the poor frightened steward was
addressed in different language.
I'll take that coffee now, steward, but
don't ever bother me again when I've got
my hands full"-Youth's Companion.
