Attacked the Wrong Dog.

From the Philadelphia Record
There was tremendous rumpus and excite
ment in a prominent drug store ON Chestnut
street near 18th yesterday afternoon. A fair
maid, strolling down the street with . iarev
mastiff, stopped in the store for soda. Ths
place was crowded, and among the crowd wses
two other ladies with two other dogs
The other dogs were considerably smaller

In one fifth the space of time it takes 10 vrits

growls, dog hair, female shrieks, childreuT
howls and screams, soda water, nrnkfs mali

children clambered upon the counters or ned
into the street; the clerks and soda water boys
grabbed the fighting dogs and the big masti6

Electricity in a Surgical Operation,

Electricity In n Surgical Operation
From. Electricity.
One of the most delicate surgical operations
ever performed in San Francisco was that to
which A. Baehm, a patient at the City and
County Hospital subjected recently. The
operation was remarkable in that an endoscops
or small electric light was used during the pro-
cess. This was thrust into the thoracic cavity,
and by Its illumination the action OF the heart
and lungs was plainly visible. This is the first
case reported on the Pacific coast where the
electric endoscope was used in difficult surgery
with beneficial results.
Baeh:n was afflicted with an abscess, which
had formed in the pleural cavity and attacked
the left lung The operation was an exceed
ingly dangerous one. and in order not 90 shock
the patient no mention of the intention OF the
PHYSICIANS was made to him.
The SICK man WAS quickly anRsthetized and
the inflated breast was exposed TO view
discoloratiOn ON the left side showed that tho
trouble lay under the tissue in that direction
and Dr. Ellinwood began operations at once hy
making two deep incisioas crosswise. from
which the blood spurtei in streams. Several
OF the larger blood vessels were necessarily
cut. but these were quickly ligatured with Dr.
Stillman's assistance. The flaps of flesh were
laid TO one side, exposing the third rib TO VIEW
Inns rib was resected for three inches. and
when II was cut away dark ana bloody OPEN
ing was revealed, through winch the thoracis
cavity and the space between the lungs could
be seen. DIR. Hirschfelder inserted the endo-
scope through the opening IN Daehm's breast
and the hGht was turned on. illuminating the
interior of the cavity with remarkable distinct
ness.
The heart worked slowly, owing TO the effect
OF ether. The aorta d.lated and fell with every
heart beat. The lang was also plainly visible.
During the one hour and half consumed IN
nf ha pear
was distinctly visible, and the unusual sight
was the subject OF much comment upon the
part of the operators and spectators.
When the process was completed and every
vestige OF pus removed. the endoscope was
withdrawn and the opening in Baehms breast
closed. The operation was a highly successful
one in every particular and Baehms condition
shows that he is gaining strength.

Johnny's Opinion.

From the Boston Herald.
Who does not remember the blood-surdinQ
picture in the old Sunday school books where
the two she bears were devouring the haplsss
children who had pointed out the excelsior
path to Elisha Of the high forehead? A few
days ago bright little boy of -four, whe, though
most carefully guarded, sometimes picks up
phrases which are the last his parents would
have HIM hear, saw o company of Saliva
tionists pass him with their beating Of drums
and their odd attire. He hailed them from the
door steps with, Pound it harder, Aunt Thunp-
Thump! Step higher, Uncle Big Hat" DC. His
grandmother from the country heard and WAS
horrilied She at once proceeded 70 teach
him lesson in reverence. Don't ven
know, Johnny" she said, that those
people are working for the Lord, lust
as the prophets used to do in old timesS
1t is wicked to make fun of them. Once some
children cried out as the prophet Elisha
passed, GO up, thou bald headr and God sent
two she bears cut Of the woods, and they ate
them all upw Johnny's eyes grew big, and,
bursting into tears, he chilled the pious ex-
pectations Of his anxious teacher by exclaininR
between his sobs: "I-think-it-was

CorneA's Crews Afioat.

The Cornell crews were able, owing to the
6ne weather, to get upon the water nearly two
weeks earlier than usual. They have been row.
ing daily since March 26, and are making ex-

The decision Of the intercollegiate regatta
committee to hold the race at Ithaca during
commencement week was a surprise to almost
every one, but 1t has been wei received, and
great interest has been aroused among the
students, who have the prospect of seeing one
Of the best races ever rowed.

The hat worn with this charming spring toilet
is OF black lace with bows of yellow and lilac

SUMNER DRESSES.
You can't go amiss in ordering your summer
dresses made up with vests and waistcoats,
sometimes made full and covered below the
wais. with lace or net bibs, or else plain silk
vests, fastening invislbly on one side and set
off with ornaments set band or bracewise. The
corselet. too, accentuating, as it does the wasp
like smallness of the fashionable waist, is sure
to be extremely popular. l saw very stylish
skirt and corselet made up IN changeable green
silk over o nuns waist Of white silk gauze.
The effect was a bit eccentric, but in summer
modes are very apt to run a bit wild.

6AUZY EFFECra,

In the fourth illustration you will find pic
tured the appropriate style in which to wear
one of these filmy wraps entwined around the
neck The hat, too, is prettily trimmed with
chiffon.
In spite Of threats Of pouf and panier. it is
only too evident that the clinging bell or UNI
brella skirt is to hold its own, Notwithstanding
its being such a trying style for women who
are inclined to be stout. and there seems to be
hosts Of them nowadays. The American wo-
man no longer fits the type to which all for
eigners thinks she belongs, namely, the tall.
thin, angular and sharp-featured type. 1t may
be that she has abandoned the puritanical
meagerness OF diet, and hence the change In
the national figure. Anyway, the clingirg bell
skirt calls for appropriate foot trimming,
either narrow or broad box-pleated ruches.
Vandyke founces with filings Of lace in cas-
cades, od-fashioned ruckles, made by three

vogue, sucll as imitation feather, pleated vel
vet, passementerie braids and jet and there
is no tendency to mix these styles Of trimming.

afternoon costume, the
bottom of the skirt of
which is in a striped
wooden material. having

ruchings around its

SUMNER HATS.
April showers have brought May flowers with
vengeance. and the summer girl bids fair to
require table all to herself in order that she
may wear her hat into the dining room. But
street dresses show no tendency to run to snowy
materials. The tailOr-mades especially, affect
low tones. such as dove gray. slate. suede. CUR
and putty. i notice that there IS always an
elegant simplicity about these street gowns.
For instance. the bottom of the skirt has three
or four rows of stitching and there is on the
underside bias of velvet to hold it up. For
young people foulards and crepes de chine
figured with all sorts of flowers will be favorite
summer fabrics. There will be a craze for thin
materials, you may depend upon it
SEGLIaE.
II you are fond Of something q bit eccentric
you will find it in my initial illustration, a very
pretty neglige made up in Turkish stuff. You
cut the breadths bias at the top. in order to
form the pleats and train. and the sides are also
bias above the waist. You don't make the usual
cores, but substitute very small ones at the
waist: and there must be material enough on
the right to make the fold over. Cut the left
side usual and finish with a velvet rever.
On the right the rever is sewed on with re-
versed seam. The cascade IN jabot style may
be of surah or crepe de chine. There is
straight collar, and pocket flaps and cuffs are
