Tracheot6my.

Tracheotomy IS surgical opera
cion by which the trachea, or wind.
pipe, is opened. 1t is an operation
resorOed to by physicians in cases
where the throat is stopped up and
admission of air to the lungs Is OBJ
structed. 1t has also sometimes been
used in the case of drowned persons
In order to hasten the imitation of the
lungs with air necessary for their re-
yival. 1t Is admitted by all surgeons
that the operation Is not without
danger, and In the cases in which it
Is most frequently performed. those
Of obstruction Of the throat, it does
not cure the disease, but simply pro-
longs the life Of the patient un:u the
trouble can be reached by deliberate
means. The manner uf performing
this operation consists in making an
incision at the middle of the throat
and cutting Into the w!ndpipe, eau
tiously avoiding injury to the nerves
and muscles as far as possible. When
the windplpe IL exposed and the
bleeding, which is slight, is stopped,
the windpipe is cut vertically and a
part Of it removed and into the open

which, when obstructed by mucus,

time. AS soon as the throat disease
Is healed. this silver tube can be
taken out and the edges of the wind.
pipe allowed to heal. There are no
after evil effects from this operation,
except a slight weakening OF the voice
and tendency to construction and
tightness Of the throat upon taking
a slight cold, and perhaps an In
creased sensitiveness to exposure.

Russian obiitty.

The Russian nobility is consuIru-
tionally not an exclusive caste. There
is constant fluctuation In Its numb bers.
Persons of the lower classes are often
raised TO nobility if they make them
selves deserving in the Government
service, and mobiles are degraded IL
for the commission of crime the courts
deprive them Of their titles and pre-
ferences." A complaint has reached
the Senate that an assembly of no.
tles had refused to enter upon their
rolls the names Of persons recently
raised 10 their station. Upon further
inquiry it was found that the assem-
blles Of many districts had made It q
practice to do the same. When a
person who had been made a noble
sought for admission into their coua-
cils they would decide his case by
ballot II he did not receive a SUN,
cient number of votes he was ex.
cluded from their rolls and assem-.
biie5. The pedigree nobility" have
zealOuSly watched over such ballots
and taken care that no new-made
noble should be admitted into their
circle. The Senate, therefore, de-
cided that as soon as any person is
admitted to the privilege OF nobility
he becomes defactO a member OF this
assembly of mobiles Of his district. 1t
is the duty of the assembly TO enter
his name upon their rolls and to
notify him OF the constitutional and
special meetings he'd by their body.
They have no option in this matter,
and their halloting for new candi-
dates is a mere farce.

indian Self Murder and Torture.

"Cases of suicide, especially by hang

believe thst if they die by hanging they
will not enter the happy hunting

much remorse. Indians torture them

Speaking about self-tortJre inflicted
BY Indians reminds me Of the horrible
sight one witnesses when a brave wishes
to demonstrate his fitness to go upon the

an Indian brave must prove his worthi-

cut two deep parallel gashes in the

will hang suspended by the thong several
feet above the ground, writhing aud
twisting in his agony, until the thong
tears itself out of the bleeding fiash and
he falls to the ground, sometimes in
sensible from pain. Frequently tho
struggles of the tortured man are not
sufficient to tear asuuder the quivering
flesh, and he hangs there until he be-

Squaws and braves are seated around
him in a circle, wailing aud howling aud
beating drums. This terrible ordeal
