My black coat was so thread bare. the
cloth was so worn that l dared not put
it on or take it off without the greatest
precautions; the knees of my panta-
looms shone like satin; my hat was at

BRAIN SURGERY.
Some Delicate Operations Performed -
Save Human Life.

Some Delicate Operations Performed -
Save Human Life.
There is form of cranial injury in
which surgical aid is especially bene-
fetal. and in which by prompt action
life may frequently be saved. a man
falls down an area, for instance, strik-
ing his head on the hard substance be-
low. He is stunned for a few minutes
and then partially RECEIVERS conscious
ness, which. however. is gradually lost
and profound stupor sets in. IN such
an instance there is proba bly, the rup
ture of blood vessel in the mem bra ne
of the brain between this organ and
the skull, and the blood is effused,
which, by its pressure on the brain,
produces stupor and eventually death.
Such cases were until within the last
few years invariab bly, fatal, and even
now such is the usual result. for COM
ratively few surgeons know what
great advances have recently been made
in the science and art of brain surgery.
remarks DIR. William A. Hammond.
Only few weeks ago case of this
kind occurred in Washington, in
which a man was passiveiy al
lowed to die. when in all proba bility
his life could have been saved by an
operation. And this operation is a
very simple one. We ascertain. from an
inspection of the seat of in Jury on what
part of the skull the blow has been re-
ceived. and we are further strength
ened 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 consciousness is re-
gained and the patient lives.
Quite recently opera tons have been
performed upon the skull in cases of
idiocy innate or acquired. with the view
of thus removing a supposed dispropor-
ton between the side of the brain and
the skull, and thus allowing the organ
space in which to grow. A French sur
geon proposed the removal of strips of
the Uranium in cases of idiocy in which
the skull was undulv small and in
which, as he supposed. there was no
room for the brain to expand. Several
of his cases and those performed accord
ing to his method by other surgeons
have been in a measure successful so
that there is decided announcement to
persevere with the operation in in
stances in which it appears to be suit
able. Several years before the publica-
ton of his results the writer had per-
formed similar operations for the cure
of epilepsy. and in few cases with
complete success North American Re-

The war with France to prevent
Philip of Anjou from succeeding to the
Spanish empire. according to the be-
quest of Charles H., the last of the
Spanish HapsDurgs, is represented I'M
der the guise of lawsuit commenced
by two worthy traders-namely, John
Bull and Nick Frog 1.-THE DUTCH
against Louis Baboon Louis XIV to
prevent him from persuading young
Philip Baboon to transfer his customs
to himself.
The late king, of Spain figures as
Lord Strut: and the contention set up
by Bull and Frog was that contracts ex-
listed between their firms and the Lord
Struts binding the latter and their
successors to deal exclusively with the
plaintiffs for cloth and linen. Louis
Baboon was trying TO induce the
youhg man to violate this contract,
and hence the action. The case is
represented as being carried from court
to court and being tried over and over
again, the verdict being always in
favor of the plaintiffs. without their
getting any nearer to the termination
of the suit. This, of course, il the do
ing of their attorney. old Hocus. who
is feathering his nest at the expense of
mis- clients and naturally does all he
can in secret to prolOng the litigation.
Hocus is the duke of Marlborough,
whose numerous victories. represented
as verdictS. brought the allies no nearer
to peace, and who certainly had ex-
ccllent pccuniary reasons for continu-
ing the war.
Many other personageS are intro
duced, but the above little sketch is
sufficient to explain the ground plan of
this famous satire. The allegory. il
must be owned. is rather far fetched.
But the fun here and there is exquisite,
especially where John-herein remind
ing lis of Mr.. Saddletree in The Heart
of Midlothian begins to fancy himself
