1000 SKIN CRAFTS.
After Suffering $50 Days Burned Woman
Leaves a Hospital.

AIter Suuerluy <oO Days q Burned W oman
Leaves Hospital.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29-After suffering for
26o days Mrs. Mary Reilly, OF Port Rich
mond, was discharged from the Episcopal
Hospital recently perfectly well
woman. In the early part OF
last May, while lighting q fire at
her home, Mrs. Reilly was badly burned.
Finally Dr. J. P. Tunis, who had charge of
her case, determined to try a new process of
skin grating. Instead of the large gratis,
therefore, DIR. Tunis used small specks
of skin, which he carefully lifted on
the point OF needle from the arm
of q healthy person and then with a
sharp knife clipped Off and Immediately
transferred to the patients wounds. He
was greatly assisted IN his work by a con-
vnlescent female patient who willingly
barred her arm to the knife to assist her
sister sufferer.
DR.. Hazeltine, who was then on duty at
the hospital, also allowed numerous CRAFTS
to be taken from his arm. The husband of
the woman, who was unceasing in his asten-
tion to his wire. was also willing subject
for the surgeons scalpel.
In all about 1000 gratis were taken, and
the physicians were highly gratlfed to find
that the minute particles of skin were adj
herring to the wound, thereby forming
healthy centers for new growth. Finally
the wound became covered and Mrs. Reilly
was as well as ever. She undoubtedly owes
her life to the skill of the surgeons and
to the careful nursing which she received.

HEREDITARY BONE BREAKERa

Remarkable Record OF Disasters in =
Montana Family.
HELENA, Jan. 29.-Harold Nelson, lad Of
13, broke his left forearm in two places while
coasting a few nights ago, and the circum-
stances brought to light remarkable record
of broken bones in the family of his father,
the Hon. A. H. Nelson, for many years chief
law clerk of the General Land Office at
Washington. Mr.. Nelson's father had both
arms and legs broken and also suffered a
fracture of one arm before he reached the
age of l3.
Mr.. Nelson has so far come through life
with only one broken bone, that being a
finger, but in his children the fragility of
bone, notable in the father, reappears.
Harold is bur 1S years old, yet these two
breaks in his left forearm represent but
portion of the broken bones he has had set
He broke his right forearm in two places by
falling on a sidewalk in Washington, and
previous to that broke his right leg while
living in New Orleans and also his shoulder
blade. MIR. Nelson's first boy, who died at
the age of 5, had six of his bones broken.
His next child, Argyle. has had four bones
broken, and Harold has scored six breaks.
A surgeon says it is an hereditary matter
which skipped one generation and then re-
appeared.

A Minister Said to Have Switched Churches
-Four Times in a Month.
ATLANTA, GA. Jan. ga few mon this ago
the Rev. Ancil Tull, a Methodist minister, of
Wisconsin, came to Atlanta. The Southern
Methodists received him with open arms.
1t was with sorrow on their part, and to the
joy of the Baptists that he publicly an
nounced his adhesion to the latter church
three weeks ago. His coordination as Bap-
tist preacher was made notable event
marred only by a remarkable publication in
the Methodist Adrocote. 1t was to the effect
that but II days before the reverend gentle
man had applied to the North Georgia Con-
ference for assignment and that he had
asked for years freedom in order to get a
good one.
The inference was that he did not get as
good place as he wanted, and therefore he
had changed faith5 for prudential reasons.
The situation is now complicated by the fur
ther announcement that coincident with
his negotiations with the BaptiStS Mr.. Tull
had made similar terms with the Presbyter-
ians, and had been fully accepted by them.
He thus presents the spectacle of having
been, within 80 days, a Northern Methodist,
Southern Methodist, a Presbyterian and a
Baptist. The Methodists are no longer mad
but simply amused

OPPOSED TO DocTREssEs
A Fight Over q Bill Concerning Them in
the Virginia Legislature.

tne virginia Legislature.
RICHMOND, VA, Jan. ga remarkable con-
test is being made in the Virginia Senate
over the appointment of a female physician
in the female wards of the insane asylum of
the State. The bill passed the House almost
unanimously, but physicians have bitterly
1obbied against it in the Senate. Within re-
cent years there have been shameful scan
dals in some of the Virginia asylums, and
one of the male physicians was found guilty
of gross conduct toward some of the un-
fortunate women in his charge.
This was potent fact in the introduction
of this measure. The indications now are
that it will be defeated. The arguments
against it are the stock ones against women
physicians, with the addition that il would
mean the importation of "short-haired
Yankee women doctors to Virginia, and
that no first-class female medical talent can
be secured in the United States. One promi-
nent physician OF the city argued that
female doctors in the asylum might hirt
with male doctors.

curious state of affairs prevails in Nanticoke
q mining town of 1000 inhabitants. Two
thirds OF the population are foreigners,
mostly Huns, Poles and Italians. Three
months ago the free mail delivery system
was inaugurated in the town. 1t has proven
a failure. A great deal of foreign mail mat
ter was received at the postofice daily but
no streets or numbers are given. The letter
carriers simply take e bag of mail and
march through the town blowing q whistle.
The people turn out and the carrier allows
them to examine the letters. In this way he
delivers letters to the owners.
The people are honest enough and will not
take letter that does not belong to them.
The postof1ce authorities at Washington,
how ever, don't like this mode OF delivery,
and it is likely that the free delivery system
will be discontinued at the end Of the
month.

Joker. Then Philanthropist.

The late DR.. S. G. Howe during his
student life at Brown university was
more distinguished for fun and practical
joking than for scholarship. Perhaps
not one of his college associates antici-
pated that their leader in frolicsome
mischief would become an eminent phi.
lanthropist. For when he graduated he
left behind a reputation for skill in
breaking up the dull routine of college
! life which survived for years. Mr.. San.
born, in his biography of DR.. Howe, tells
an anecdote which shows the impression
he left behind him. Some years after
DR.. Howe had left college, and after he
had become favorably known to the
public, he was in Providence attending
the annual commencement.
The venerable DR.. Messer, who had
been president of the university while
Howe was student, was then living in
retirement. Howe thought he would
call on him and apologize for the trouble
he had given him while in college and
for the many interruptions to his night
ly repose.
The venerable ex-president received
his caller with evident marks of dis
trust, and though he asked him to be
seated he himself took a seat at re-
spectful distance. DR.. Howe began his
apology and the good old man moved
his chair little farther back. "Howe,"
said he, explaining the movement, "Pm

He Is a Happy Boy at Times.

There is at least one boy in this city
who is overjoyed by the news of every
funeral the services of which are to be
held in the church to which he is at
tached. He is only nine years old and is
very poor lad, the child of needy
parents. He sings in the church choir,
and whenever the choir is called upon
to sing at a funeral lie is paid the sum
of one dollar for his service in it. Yes
terday forenoon he rushed home to tell
his mamma that there were to be two
funerals in the afternoon. He laughed
beyond measure as lie shouted, "Good
news, nam! two funerals" He danced
and was filled with bliss over the pros
pect. He had not sung at funeral for
nearly week, and had been disconso-
late. His mother, too. was happy over
the news, for she needed money and her
husband was out of work. When the
lad returned home with two dollars
after the funerals the household was
cheered up and the family got good
