A SKITTISH DOCTOR.
He Forgot That He Was Not Behind
His Horse.
Harper's Magazine.


DR.. s. was noted among his profess
sional brethren for his power of concentra-
tiOn. When once lie bent his mind to
problem he became totally oblivious Of
everything about him.
The doctor had horse that was almost
as famous as himself. Among her pecu-
liarities was the habit of shying. She
would not shy at things which most horses
consider lit subjects for that sort of digres-
sion. She would pay no attention whatever
TO a newspaper blowing about the streets,
but was mUrtally afraid of a covered
wagon. tie sight of one OF New Ravens
suburban stages she would run over the
curbstOne and threaten not only the doc
tors life, but THAI of the chance Dasser. OF
this habit she could not be broken. It
seemed as though she could smell q stage
long before 1t came in sight, so that the
doctor would go half deem blocks out OF
his way rather than meet one.
Early one morning lie received telephone
call to the effect that one of his patients
had become alarmnglY worse Without
waiting for his carriage, he started to walk,
the distance being about mile. His mind
became at once absorbed in the case, but
not so much so that he did not remember
that the course Of the Seymour stage lay
right in his path. He looked at his watch
and saw that he would be sure to meet it II
lie went the shortest way. He was in
hurry to get to his patient, but there was no
help for it. He uttered q maledictiOn over
the circumstances and turned off at the
first corner. This obliged him TO nearly
double the distance, and the day was warm.
he walked as he never walked before, and
failed to recognize a couple of Ultimate
friends whom he nearly ran over.
II was not until he had spent two hours
with his patient and came out 70 look for
his horse that he began to realize that he
had walked mile out OF his way so that he
need not shy at the Seymour stage

BRAIN SURGERY.
Some Important Advances Made in
Recent Years.

Recent Years.
Dr. W. a. Hammond in North American Review.
There is form Of cranial injury in which
surgical aid is especially beneficial and in
which by prompt action life may frequently
be saved. man falls down an area, for
instance. striking his head on the hard sur
face below. He is stunned for few min
utes and then partially RECEIVERS conscious
ness, which, however, is gradually lost and
profound stupor sets in. In such an in
stance there is probably the rupture of
blood vessel in the membranes of the brain
between this organ and the skull and blood
is effused. which, by its pressure On the
brain, produces stupor and eventually
death. Such cases were until within the
last few years Invariably fatal, and even
now such is the usual result, for compare
lively few surgeons know what great ad.
vances have recently been made in the
science and art of brain surgery. Only
few weeks ago a case of the kind occurred
in Washington City in which a man was
passiyely allowed to die when in all proba-
bility his life could have been saved by an
operation And this operation is very
simple one.
We ascertain from an inspection OF the
seat of injury on what part of the skull the
blow has been received, and we are further
strengthened In our search for evidence by
the symptoms exhibited by the patient. We
trephine the skull at the injured point and
let out the blood that has been extravasated.
As soon as the pressure is relieved con-
seriousness is reganed and the patient lives.
Quite recently operations have been per-
formed upon the skull in cases of idiocy
innate or acquired with the view of remoy-
Ing supposed disproportion between the
size Of the brain and the skull, and thus
allowing the organ space to grow. A French
surgeon proposed the removal of strips of
the Uranium in cases OF idiocy In which the
skull was unduly small. and in which as he
supposed there was no room for the brain to
expand Several OF his cases and those per-
formed according to his method by other
surgeons have been in measure successful.
so that there Is decided encouragement to
perseyere with the operation In instances in
which 1t appears TO be suitable. Several
years before the publication of his results
the writer had performed similar operations
for the cure Of epilepsy, and in a few cases
with complete success

DONE IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY
He Says That Incompetent Teachers

Discipline, one of the most important
factors in the educational system, is very
much at a discount in our public schools
just now.
A spirit of revelation is rife among the
youngsters who fl i the schoolhouses which
threatens to assume the proportions of a
riot at any moment.
The lady teachers who have charge of the
various classes are subjected 10 humlllating

Young America, with the avdity which
characterizes the boys and girls of a free
nation, has caught on" and the recent
publications of the school scandals have
brought about sad state of affairs.
Before school hours. during recess and on
their way home the children are deeply alb
sorbed in the discussion OF all the details of
the bribery cases now before the Grand

County Names.

County names in the New England and

English or Indian origin. In tho border
States OF the South they are Chiefly English /;
In the Gulf States English and Indian, with
French in Louisiana and traces of Spanish
origin in Florida and Texas In the Mis-
sissippi Valley they are again of English
ana Indian origin, with some French names
coming down from the Jesuit explorers. In
the Rocky Mountain States they are again
English and Indian, with larger proportion
OF the latter than elsewhere, and on the
Pacific Coast Spanish county names again
crop out. Texas has Deaf Smith County,

been fixed upon an important political
division. A pretty fair history of the
