Ills Throat in His Stomach.

Samuel Stringer will in a few days
leave the Jefferson Hospital, of this
city, for his home in Niles, Ohio. He
has been the subject of most wonderful
surgical operation, the only one Of ITS
kind ever performed in the United
States.
MIR. Stringer is married man, 4S years
old, and has been engaged for some
years by one of the mining companies in
Ohio. About year and haltago a can
cerous growth made its appearance in his
throat in the region Of the 0sophagus,
and in short time it closed the opening
to such an extent that he found
it impossible to pass solid food of any
kind.
The physicians in charge advised the
use Of liquid food as the only means OF
sustenance; and for thirteen months
Stringer lived on beef broth, milk, soup,
coffee and soft boiled eggs, but the mala-
DIV increased and the growth finally
closed up the aperture entirely, and for
DAYS he was unable to partake ofany form
of nourishment,
Death by starvation was staring him in
the face when be decided to place him
self in tho hands of the surgeons of
one of the institutions of this city. He
selected Jefferson Hospital and arrived
there on the 31st of July, of this year, q
mere shadow of his former self.
An operation was at once decided
upon, and after being etherized an in
cision was made from the middle oi the
abdomen clear through the walls, ex-
posing tho stomach, which was with
drawn from its cavity and a small OPEN
ing made into it. Through the opening
rubber tube was inserted, the parts
were then carefully put back in position
and stayed, and the day after, by means
of a funnel, some beef tea and warm
milk were poured into the stomach fol
the first time. This way Of feeding the
patient has been regularly kept up fol
the past three weeks, and soups, milk
sop, soft-boiled eggs, oat meal and
other LIQUID food is administered three
times day and oftener if Stringer feels
hungry.
He has entirely recovered his health
and is able to walk about, and will leave
for his home in Ohio in few days. Fol
the present he must feed himself through
The rubber trbe by means Of a funnel
which he keeps in a small case in his
pocket, but after some months, when the
aperture and passage becomes defined,
the rubber tube will be taken out and the
opening will then be permanent, requir'
ing only the use of the funnel.
The operation is in every way sue
cessful one, and Stringer will be able tc
live the balance Of his days without swal.

How to Kill Nut Grass.

have seen several inquiries lately
for method of killing nut grass. 1
used to think the only way to get rid
Of it was to move off and leave it, but
I have found better method of treat
ing it. I had about one acre Of very
rich garden land thoroughly seeded
down with it. could raise a winter
or early spring crop, but it would
choke out any corn or cotton crop 1
could plant.
Five years ago 1 raised crop Of
Irish potatoes on it, then planted it in
corn. Before it was large enough to
hoe, it was mass of green nut grass,
and to get it out of the hill I pulled up
nearly all the corn. It was. very dry
at the time, and by the time I was
through my corn was nearly ill dead,
but. the grass was doing finely. L con-
cluded to try heroic treatment on it.
So I took Planet, (Jr.,) cultivator
and tore up every blade Of corn and
grass in the field, using hoe around
the fences.
In about four days new crop came
up. Then I cultivated it the other
way, always in the hot sun. The
fourth time Iplowed it deep and got
another pretty good crop of grass
started, which [ cultivated as before.
In one month, I think, I had sprout-
ed and killed every vestigc Of it, as
not stalk has appeared since, and it
has been planted in corn or sweet po-
tatoes every year since.
You can take this for what's worth,
but the only way to get rid of it is to
keep it from seeding, either top or
root, and cultivate and germinate all
dormant seed and kill them by culti-
vation in the dry, hot weather Of May
and June.

A Tough Witness.

Not even lawyer, however skillful
in cross-examination, can make a wit
ness tell the truth, provided the wit
ness wishes to evade it. 1t is impos-
sible to put the question in such exact
language that it will demand the de-
sired answer. It was necessary on q
certain occasion in court, to compel a

Quick Witted.

A Southern girl anxious to support
herself and to make her way in the
world, entered the training-school
for nurses at Bellevue hospital, New
York. She became an expert nurse,
remarkable for courage and self-posses-
sion.
One night patient, who had been
hastily admitted to the wards without
enquiry respecting her mental condi-.
tion, attempted suicide by throwing
herself from window. The nurse,
by her GOODNESS and quick wit, di.
verted her from her purpose and saved
her life.
The incident made an impression
upon the managers of the school.
When they received .an application
from an insane asylum for nurses to
be employed in the sciel tifc care of
deranged patients, she was highly re-
commended for the, work, and was
subsequently promoted t. the rcspon-
sible position of matrol, in one of
the largest insane hospitals in the
country.
One of the nurses experiences with
insane patients disclosed her nerve
and quicknesss Of mind. She was at
tackled in the ward by powerful wo-
man who had taken offenac. For mis-
conduct she had been forbidden to go
with the other patients to the MONDAY
meal.
The nurse, being alone with her,
had incautiously turned her back upon
the patient. The infur:atcd woman
crept up, and seizing the little nurse
by the waist, lifted her from her feet
and spun round and round with her like
a top.
The nurse was completely in the
power of an uncomfortable lunatic,
whose excitement and frenzy was in
creasing every instant. l.twould have
gone hard with her if she had lost her
presence of mind.
What she did while she was whirl-
ing in the air was to take large pin
fastening the belt of her uniform and
thrust it into the wuman's arm.
The assailant, startled by the sudden
pain, relaxed her grip ant. released her
prisoner.
0Then the nurse faced her, and had
her instantly under control. Looking
her in the eyes, she sternl.7 ordered her
to her room and get into bed. The wo-
man, completely cowed, obeyed like a
child.
The same quick wit enabled a
surgeon to save the life Of hospital
patient who was undergoing critical
operation.
The assistants had dropped their
instruments, for the patients heart
had apparently ceased to beat. "She
is dead" they said. cit is useless to
go on.
The surgeon seized pitcher Of hot
water and poured it into the gaping
wound. ''Go on with your work, he
cried.
The circulation Of the blood vas
Immediately restored by the sudden
access of heat. The operation was
quickly completed. The patient
lived and was soon restored to health.

Quite a Curiosity.

There is ft subject for some enter
prising dime museum manager in the
stock yard near the corner Of McDan
iel and Peters street.
It is five legged cow which has
been standing in the yard for some
time, awaiting a purchaser.
This very peculiarly deformed ami,
NAL is the property Of Mr.. j. 7. Griz.
zard, who brought it to this city some
time ago to sell.
Mr.. Grizzard raised it at his home
in Pike County. When it was born
it was noticeable fact that the cali
had an additional leg to the usual four
with which animals are ordinarily
blessed.
Every care was taken of the little
animal and in short while the fifth
leg had grown to some size. :.
The fifth leg is grown on the LETT
shoulder and is as perfect one as any
of the rest, having a knee joint as well
as hoof.
The hoof, however, is a somewhat
peculiar one for COW to have. 1t is
split into several pieces and resembles
the claws of some large bird very
much.
For gentleness the young COW has
few equals. A child can play with anc
fondle it and it; will not offer to kick
or hook, but will lick the hands just
as does pet dog.
Large crowds are constantly visiting
the little animal, and have beer
since it's arrival at the stock yards
Many ladies and children also go tt
see it.
Mr.. Grizzard says he will keep the
COW here until he can dispose of her,
though she is not giving milk.
The COW is as pretty a little anima
as one ever sees nowadays. She is
only eighteen months old.-Atlanto
