Expects to Have Arms Grated to Hir

Expects to Have Arms Grated to Him.
Theodore Lee, the armless news.
dealer who went East recently with a
vague idea that he could get arms
grated on to his stumps, has been
heard from. He has been inquiring
among specialists regarding his case,
and he finds that he may yet secure
arms. First, the arms that are to be
grated on to his stumpS must be taken
from a healthy man or woman, and the
hope is held out to Mr.. Lee that he
may find some person-condemned to
be hanged, for instance-who would,
for $1,000 say, to be gwen to relatives
or charity, allow an arm to be ampu-
tated for grating purposes, Mi Lee
has IN substance been informed that
the splice would have to be made just
above the elbow joint
When Mr. Lee has found person
who will submit to the operation, they
will have to be brought together In sucn
a position as 10 permit OF the arms OF
both, which are to be operated upon,
being placed in plaster of paris casts
so that they cannot be moved, Then
it is proposed to cut the back part Of
both arms, also cutting through the
bone. The arm that is to be grated
on TO Mr.. Lees stump, or that portion
of it that is cut away at the first opera
ton, is to be adjusted and fastened t.
the stump and allowed to remain unit.
1t heals and there is evidence Of clrcu
lation between the stump and the par
that is grated on. The second opera
ton will be the cutting Of the remain
Der of the inside portion of the arm
together with the artery and the nerve
This operation, it is proposed, however
is not to be undertaken until the sur
geons are satisfied that the circulation
through the part Of the arm already
grated on is Sufficient to noursh and
support the new forearm--St. PAU

Outdoor Work For Women.

Mary E. Spencer writes for The Globe
Democrat paper on this subject. 1t is
80 full of the flavor of ripe strawberries,
the hum of bees and the perfume of honey
and roses as to make one long for the
fullness of life that comes only from ex-
istence passed in the open air. Mrs.
Spencer believes that it would be for the
Improvement of the race all round if
women and girls went into flower and
small fruit culture and lived more out
doors. She says:
Our homes will be more Astounding in health,
and society will be the better for womanly in
dependence. A woman who fears to do what
is economical and wholesome and invigorating
helps in degenerating the stock. If | were
now young girl, ! would go TO the Pacific
states and engage In horticulture. / would
have my berry gardens and my bees and assert
my independence. | see no reason why q girl
should crowd her way into office employment.
What she needs for the full development of her
nature is the open air and open field. Flori-
culture is peculiarly our natural industry.
do not say that men are cut of place in this
branch of gardening, but. l do say that women
and flowers go well together, and that they
should undertake to control the greenhouse in
dustres and the flower gardens in the suburbs
of cities. In England laundry work is passing
into the hands Of women, where it belongs.
Horticulture also belongs to US. 1 said a young
woman would do well to go to the Pacific coast

farther west we go the larger the freedom and
the less the bondage of prejudice.
1t would not be necessary, however.
for the women and girls who wished to
engage in flower and small fruit culture
to go to the Pacific states. The business
would be eminently successful if carried
Oh wisely III the vicinity of any of the
older cities of the Union. The only in
ducement to go to the far west would be
the fact that women have more rights in
the new states and are not bound down
by conventionalism to the extent they
are in the older portions of the country.

Successful Strategy.

Eight years ago an old sea captain
in Waldo county thought himself en-
titled to the berth Of lighthouse keeper
on the Maine coast. He got up pc
tition that was very strongly Endorsed
numerically. The captain thought the
sheet powerful enough to sail him right
through all the Washington shoals to
the lighthouse. Before presenting his
petition for recognition he thought he
would make one more and last voyage
in his vessel, and leaving the petition
with his wife sailed away. In the same
county was an unpopular politician who
wanted a Post Office. The incumbent
of the office was very popular and was
supported by all the leading men of the
community. Nothing but strategy would
Gust him. One day the unpopular poll
tician called on the wife of the sea cap
tain and borrowed the lighthouse petit
ton. Then he tore off the heading and
made one of his own, praying for the
Post Office, and sent it to Washington.
Shortly afterward, to everybody's sur
prise he got the appointment. 1t was
not to be wondered at, as the captains
petition had the names of not only all
the prominent men, but of the popular
Postmaster himself-Boston Journal.

State Care of the Insane

Under the new law passed in New
York the care of insane persons is taken
entirely out of the hands of county au-
thorities and turned over to the state. A
state tax of one-third of mill was levied
for this purpose. 1t will yield s., $50, 900.
New York and Kings counties, in which
are situated the cities of New York and
Brooklyn, choose to remain outside of
the combine and provide for their own
insane. These counties, however, con-
tribute their share of the state tax.
Insane patients in New York are to be
turned over to the state hospitals, where
they will be duly cared for by superin-
tendents appointed by the state. In con-
nection with them is state commission
of lunacy, to whom the superintendent
are responsible. Each month the super
intendents meet the commissioners for q
conference.
Governor Flower, first class fnancier
that he is, is particularly impressed with
the favorable economic aspects of the
new law. At his suggestion provision
was incorporated in the bill requiring
that all supplies to be purchased for the
asylums should be vised monthly in adj
vance by the state commission. This he
believes will place the buying of sup
plies upon strict businesslike and eco
nomical basis and result in great saving
to the counties over the former method.

Moving.


It Is the moving time of the year. Not
only are our emotions moved unseemly,
but our bodies and all our belongings
are changed to uncomfortable, unfamil-
lar places, About this time respectable
heads of families consult anxiously.
There is an ominous feeling Of impend-
ing doom In the air. Madame goes house
hunting after the consultation. She
comes home tired ont, taking refuge in
tea, not to say tears. Day after day it
goes on till at last the house Is chosen.
If we could afford to go out and set
fire to all our household goods and burn
them up, buy new ones and start all
over again as when we first went to
housekeeping, what relief 1t would be-!
But we cannot afford that. We are not
rich, most of us. We must "move" the
things. If we have been housekeeping
several years, we have varied assort-
ment of rusty old trunks with the hinges
broken off, ancient overcoats that we
have carted around with us through
three moves, old bedsteads and wash
stands and half worn shoes enough to
stock secondhand store. We have al
ways moved them. We have never
needed them. We vow not to take them
with us this year, and we throw part of
the rubbish away. When we get moved"
we find we have thrown away just what
we needed in the new place. 1t is strange
how things work anyhow.
1t costs never less than whole months
rent to move, and if we get off with that
we are lucky. Some house agents take
this into account and let the tenant have
the first months rent free. He ought to,
and pay us for coming into his house be-
sides, considering the horror of moving.
lacking down the carpets is perhaps the
worst. 1t is always put off till Saturday
night, because the husband and father
can help and will not have to get up
early Sunday morning. He tacks his.
fingers, and he uses bad language, but the
thing goes on till long past midnight.
He must tack gently, and with subdued
lacking, to keep from waking the people
in the next house and letting them know
how he is breaking the Sabbath
Bachelors and single women do not
have all this trouble. They can look on
and smile serenely at the married peo-
pies torment. But the married people
are the ones who rent rooms to the single
and charge them enough to cover all the
expenses of moving and make a profit
besides. So the married get even at last.

Have we lost Willie Waldorf Aston
forever from his own native land2 We
fear we have, since Willie Waldorf has
bought Chveden, one of the ancestral
seats of the Duke Of Westminster. The
head of the Astor family is now Brit
Usher. The only thing lacking to perfect
felicity is title. 1t used to be that
rich citizens could buy that, too, but
those happy days are past. The only
hope for Willie Waldorf is that some
lucky accident or scheme may bring him
to the favorable notice of Queen Victoria
or the Prince of Wales. We do not know
what his title should be, but we can tell
the coat of arms. Let it be coonskin
