The scalpal Cure For Idiocy.


The cure of IN idiot by means of the
surgeons knife is the unique task now
being attempted at the Hahnemann hos
pital, and it bids fair to prove entirely
successful. The second and final opera
ton was performed yesterday afternoon.
1t is one of the rarest and most delicate
operations in medical science.
The patient is a little 4-year-old boy
named Freddie. When brought to the
hospital, his case seemed one of hopeless
idiocy. Hewas utterly incapable ofspeech
as well. The usual openings in the skull
allowing the brain to attain its normal
development were in his case absent.
The sole hope was to perform the opera
ton of craniotomy-that is, to create
these openings artifcially.
Two linear sutures had to be cut in
the skull, one on each side of the head.
The first was successfully made some
time ago. and even that half operation
produced immediate and noticeable re-
suits. The poor little lad became able
to articulate o few words and gave won
derful promise Of a return of the brain
to its normal functions, in case the sec
ond suture could be as successfully per-
formed. This operation was necessarily
delayed owing to the shock to the pa
tient. The second suture was cut, how
ever, yesterday, and the triumph OF the
entire surgical feat seems assured

THE SLEEPING DRUMMER.

He Was Dreaming, and His Comrades
Started In to Have Some Fun.
They were a jolly lotof travelling men,
and they had been out on a lark, and re-
turning to their rooms found their friend
Dolliver sitting in a chair waiting for
them and sound asleep.
He did not even hear them come in.
He was dreaming, and a smile disturbed
the corners of his bearded mouth, and
his breathing rose and fell in regular
beat as if it were keeping tally Of the
passing moments in a rhythmic record.
"He's good looking fellow, consider
Ing that he's asleep" said one Of his
chums, admiring the strong mans un-
broken repose.
"Must have clear conscience to sleep
like that in such racket, interposed an
other.
1I'll bet he's dreaming of some wom-
an, said another. ..These shy old bach
elors have their little bouts with Cupid
even If they don't get caught"
"Here, Dolliver, wake up. Stetson says
you're dreaming about some woman .
said one Of the men roughly giving the
sleeping man q shake.
But re was loath to let the vision of his
dream go, and he breathed her name in
supplication, but so softly the men stand
ing near could not understand.
"Here's q go" said one. "Won't it be
sport to tell him whom he was dreaming
of when he awakes? How the fellow does
sleep! Listenr'
Again he breathed her name, and the
smile came back to his face as his spirit
seemed withdrawn from recognition of
present surroundings.
But at that name his rough, noisy
comrades started and looked into each
others faces with shame and surprise.
They exchanged chances of regret, of
yearning. almost of pain. And as again
the lips Of the sleeping man uttered the
name they all knew SO well, their hands
stole to their heads to remove reverently
the hats they were still wearing, and
then they withdrew silently and left
their mate to his dreaming.
For the name he had unconsciously
breathed each one bore deep in his heart
It was the sacred name of mother

F1OQskN y lsI LIN Dl11lS0 AII11OOhs
popular name from its habit Of alighting
around the horn to rest when not biting,
as being place where the animal cannot
easily reach to brush it off, but 1t does no
damage to the horn. It shows the same
instinct in selecting its places for biting,
usually attacking the back, TANKS, under
side Of the belly and the neck or head.
1t works it's way beneath the hair and
gorges itself with blood as soon as it
can enter its dagger shaped proboscis.
These bites are very irritating, and as
they usually appear in great numbers
cattle are made nearly frantic by them,
and also are liable to make themselves
sore by rubbing the bitten parts against
trees.
To prevent the biting smear the cattle
with some cheap oil, such as train oil,
fish oil, tallow or axle grease. If to a
half gallon of this is added about Ia
blespoonful of either carboic acid or oil
of tar, it will keep the flies away and
also reduce the irritation Of bites already
made and be healing to the sores If there
are any. Kerosene emulsion also has
been used with good success when di1ut-
ed with nine times it's bulk of water and
used in spraying the cattle, but we pre-
fer the other prescription, as it will not
need to be renewed as soon.

worlds Fair People Admonished.

With the best wishes for the success of
the fair and for Chicago, we offer the
local managers Of the exposition bit Of
advice. We counsel them not to impose
charge Of cent a glass for Hygeia wa
ter on the grounds, even if an abundant
supply Of other drinking water be fur
nished free. Hygeia water was given
without charge at the Democratic con-
vention last year, and the good will of

as valuable to Chicago as was the friend

Mr.. Ruskin's Opinion.
,e Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
If Mr.. Ruskin be responsible for the,
words quoted in ga Reply to the Church
man. in the PRESS of May 18th, he must
have used them in quite another connec-
ton than that instanced for they are al
together opposed to his spirit and teach
ing.
Perhaps the following statement of
his may have helped spread such an i'm
preston.
THE fact is give what IEgiv e almost in an
people who will relieve hopeless distress for
one who will help at hopeful pinch; and when

where would not for a distressed author; and

vention but not unlesS had no other object
his widow after he was gone. In a word, like
to prop the falling more than to feed the fall
en-"
Mr.. Ruskin's views upon Econamics
are set forth in his s'Fors Clavigera'' and
are thus condensed.
He aimed at the gradual introduction
of higher aims into ordinary life; at
ytOtfty UU6 TtJtGoHt6itt " tiI6 tOU6T CtuSo6o,
true simplicity to the upper. He pro-
posed that idle hands should reclaim
waste land; that healthy work and
country homes should be offered to
townsfolks who would ''come out of the
gutter"
He asked landowners and employers to
furnish opportunities for. such reforms
which would involve no elaborate organ
ization nor unelastic rules-simplicity
the one thing needful, the refusal of com
mercialism.
AS before, he scorned the idea that any
good could be done by political agitation
Any government would work, he said, if
it were Fan efficient government. No
| government was efficient unless it saw
that eoery one had the necessaries of life,
for body and soul; and that eUery one
earned them By some avork or other.''

The fly deposits it's eggs in the freshly
dropped dung, where the maggot is
Matched out, and on which it feeds until
ready to pupate. It usually brings out
several broods in a season, the last brood
remaining in the pupa form until spring.
To destroy them throw shovelfu1 Of

droppings every day both in the yard
and pasture This will serve also the
purpose Of making more and richer fer

Another way would be to have all tbs

The coming summer will be alive with
interest. The dreaded Asiatic Cholera
threatens us, and the Columbian Exhibi-
ton diverts our thoughts to pleasante1
things. Everyone is awake to watchful-
ness in the former, and all are hoping the
scourge may be kept away.
Scientists state that Cholera is always
introduced into the system through the
stomach.
The food we eat and the water we
drink are our sources of danger.
Cholera says one, will not develop
if the person exposed is perfectly healthy.
1t is the weak, debilitated and improper
lylnourished who areprey to epidemics. y
Here is the danger to many.
The Worlds Fair will tempt them to
Chicago. A change of water,-at all
4 times more or less harmful, lis doubly
/. dangerous, from the fact that the city
water of Chicago has been pronounced
vile and unfit for drinking purposes.
Spring waters will be sold, OF course, but
their origin will be unknown, and the
temptation to quench ones thirst at every
opportunity will often be yielded to, re-
CARELESS of consequences.
80 Careless eating and drinking, if the
: system is run down, will be sure to pro-
duce, if not Cholera, at least an attack
of some sort.
Officials will be on the alert for cases
of suspected sickness.
