A HEART IN HIS LEG,
Operation In n st. Louis Hospital Upon n
Patient Peculiarly Afflicted.

operation In n st. Louis Hospital Upon n
Patient Peculiarly Afflicted.
DIR. Marks, superintendent of the City
hospital, cut heart out of mans leg
recently. Instead of being necessary to
the patients existence as hearts usually
are, this organ was very dangerous
possession and was likely to end his life
ut any moment. The heart was almost
as large as the one usually found inside
n mans ribs and beat in very much the
same manner It was situated upon the
inside of the right leg, four or five inches
above the knee, and was more tender
than the ball of the owners eye.
Charles Gentry, laborer, was the
owner of this very remarkable organ.
To the surgeons the phenomenon is called
n traumatic aneurism of the femoral ar
terry. This artery is the big blood feeding
pipe that runs from the heart down
through the body and leg, furnishing life
TO the different parts of the anatomy as
IL goes. About two months ago Gentry
was struck upon the leg just over the ar
terry by shaft of piece Of machinery.
The inner wall Of the artery was burst,
and the big pipe began TO bulge out Mt
this point. The outer wall, or coat Of
the artery, luckily stretched and held the
blood, or Gentry would have bled to death
in no time.
The artery kept on swelling with ev-
cry pulsation Of the patients heart.
From the size Of hazelnut the bulge
grew and grew until 1t was larger than
mans fist. How the artery managed
to stand IL without bursting was mat
ter for wonder even to the surgeons. The
least touch given to the skin over the
swelling caused Gentry horrible pain,
and he was obliged to keep very still lest
any sudden movement or contact would
break IL and by the hemorrhage bring on
death. The aneurism could be seen to
beat to all intents and purposes like any
other heart. II one brought his ear close
to 1t, he could hear constantly repeated
blowing or breathing sound coming from
beneath the skin. This noise was caused
by the vacant air space around the
swollen artery where it had crowded the
muscles aside.
The patient was laid upon the operat-
ing table and placed under the influence
Of chloroform. A sharp knife laid the
tissues aside and exposed the femoral ar
terry with its apple shaped bulb. The ar
terry was then tied or ligated two inches
above and two inches below the swelling
and the big bulb cut open. Nearly
pint of blood gushed forth, and then there
was no heart left. The slit artery was
then sewed together with fine silk threads
previously soaked in antiseptic solution
and left to heal.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

Tricoupis and His Dog.

M. Tricoupis, who may be regarded as
the foremost statesmen in King Georges
dominions, and who has repeatedly held
the Office Of premier, is distinguished
for the store set by him on canine friend
ship. One day when he was crossing
from the Pireus to Constantinople on
board an English steamer, his dog fell
overheard. Tricoupis, who was not in
office at the time and @ stranger to the
captain, entreated the latter to stop the
vessel in order that he might rescue the
hound.
"Impossiblel'' replied the Englishman.
my orders are very strict. dare not
stop, even were it man instead Of q
dog drowning"
"Good" laconically answered the
Greek, and at the same time he sprang
over the ships side and swan toward
his dog, although sharks abound in those
waters. The sequel may be guessed.
The English captain could not resist
such a spectacle of pluck, and in spite
of his strict orders to the contrary he
stopped the ship and saved both man
and dog.--New York Tribune.

Joined local gymnasium not long ago,
and after watching the members once or
twice going through their exercises came
away with the feeling that he was full
fledged athlete. Walking on East Court
street alongside of the Jail. he espied two
women ahead of him walking abreast
and carrying basket of freshly washed
clothes between them. The street being
narrow at this point, they took up the
full width. The young man, being in q
hurry, thought he could save time by
jumping over the basket, but his calcu-
lation was not acute enough, and he
kicked some of the wash off. After
walking few steps he turned around to
ascertain the result of his maneuver and
was just in time to see an umbrella
hurled at him by the unerring aim of an
enraged woman. He tried to dodge, but
was too slow.--Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.

Women In Medicine.

At the beginning of 1893 the number
of women who had entered their names
in the British medical register amounted
to 1853, of whom nine have died since
registration. About 80 are in practice in
India and other parts Of the east, chiefly
as medical missionaries; some of the
younger women-perhaps 20-are still
engaged in study at various schools and
hospitals, chiefly on the continent, and
the remainder are in practice in various
parts Of Great Britain, more than half
of these having settled in London. The
number of posts thrown open to medical
women increases every day, and the de-
mand for their services in various direc-
hons is still considerably in excess of the
supply.--Medical Magazine.

The answers, which should contain prac.

A London correspondent says: 1t is
evident that the Manchester Ship canal,
which will open on Jan. /, will obtain a
large share of its business from cotton
carrying steamers. The managers of the
canal say that several steamers have al
ready engaged to bring cotton from New
Orleans and Galveston to Manchester
direct, and 323 spinners, owning more
than 2O,0OO.0 900 spindles and consuming
about 35O.000 tons of raw cotton yearly,
have signed statement booming the
new route. They pledge themselves to
give preference, when buying to arrive,
to cotton shipped direct, and when buy
ing on spot to cotton imported direct
and stored in Manchester.

Public Men Say 1t Is the Most Dangerous
Since the Existence of the Kingdom.
The news from Italy this week has
been each day worse than the last. ST.
gnor Villari, many times cabinet minis
ter and powerful leader, publishes
remarkable article in Rome appealing to
the king to save the country from the
most dangerous crisis since the existence
of the kingdom by proclaiming dicta-
torship which shall put an end to power
less parliamentarism. Nothing else, he
declares. will avert the triumph of revo-
lutionary socialism which will destroy
existing institutions. The article has
won the approval of many conservative
persons, and even the selection of die
tator is being discussed. He would be
Signor Crispi or some general. Crispi
is quoted as saying to his friends that
his hour is not yet come, but when an
appeal is made he will be ready.
The government dare not reduce the
army for domestic as well as interna-
tional reasons. The situation in Sicily
is as threatening as ever, and there is no
telling at what moment the large force
now there will be required to suppress a
rebellion at home. The forces are being
prepared for such an emergency, but
there are grave doubts whether any body
Of troops would obey an order to fire
upon their rebellious countrymen. The
government is undoubtedly cherishing
strong hopes of the naval cooperation
of Great Britain in any emergency
