save Human Life.
There is form of cranial injury In
which surgical aid is especially bene-
3cial and 10 which by prompt action
life may frequently be saved. A man
lalls down an area, for instance, stflk-
Ing his head on the hard substance
below. He is stunned for a few min
utes and then partially recovers con-
sciousness, which, however, Is
gradually lost and profound stupor
sets in.
In such an instance there is prop
ably the rupture of blood vessel IN
the membranes of the brain between
this organ and the skull and the blood
is effused, which by its pressure on
the brain produces stuDor and event
ually DEATH Such cases were until
within the last few years invariably
fatal, and even now such is the usual,
for comparatively few surgeons know
what great advances have recently
been made in the science and art OF
brain surgery, remarks DR.. William
A. Hammond.
Only few weeks ago case ofthis
kind occurred in Washington City, in
which man was pasSiyely allowed
to die, when in all probability his life
could have been saved by an operation.
And this operation is a very simple
one. We ascertain from an inspec-
tion of the seat of injury on what
part of the skull the blow has been
received, and we are further strength.
ened in our search for evidence by
the symptoms exhibited by the pa
tient.
We trephine the skull at the in
jured point and let out the blood that
has been extravasated. AS soon as
the pressure is relieved consciousness
is regained and the patient lives.
Quite recently operations have been
performed upon the skull in cases OF
idiocy innate or acquired with the
view of thus removing supposed dis
proportion between the side Of the
brain and the skull, and thus allow
ing the organ space in which to grow.
A french surgeon proposed the re-
moval of strips of the Uranium in cases
of idiocY in which the skull was un-
duly small and in which, as he sup
posed, there was no room for the
brain to expand.
Several Of his cases and those per-
formed according to his method by
other surgeons have been in meas
ure successful, so that there is decided
encouragement to perseyere with the
operation in instances in which it ap-
pears to be suitable. Several years
before the publication Of his results
the writer had performed similar
operations for the cure of epilepsy,
and in a few cases with complete sue,

He bowed tremendously to his

In referring to the cowardly copper
head sneaks now engaged in denounc-
ing pensions and pensioners that loyal
and honorable newspaper, the New
York Press, of recent number, truth
fully says: They claim to be unearth-
ing fraud when they are simply graft
flying malice. Their pretenses deceive
nobody. The people understand them
and despise them. The popular heart
is with the men who fought for the life
of the republic. Patriotism is as strong
as ever in the ranks of real Americans,
and those who are counting upon popu-
lar sympathy in their attack upon the
union veterans are only inviting con-
tempt and detestation."

On the 3Oth of June of last yeal

whom has since died, had passed their
Lundredth year; six were more than

appears that one Anna of Bohemia, wife
of an English king, invented the side
saddle, not from any delicate repulsiOn
to the mode in vogue, but because she
was afflicted with some defOrmity which
made 1t impossible for her to ride upon
the saddles in common use, and riding
for women was Imperative in those days.
Royalty had then, as now, snobbish fol-
lowers ever on the alert to adopt fashions
honoreo by its patronage, and In few
months every woman of rank in Eng
land possessed side saddle, and the
old way of riding was tabooed. Ever
since then women have been trying to
believe themselves safe and comfortable
on the side saddle in the heavy skirts
which invariably catch in the pommel
with disastrous results in case of acct
dent. The fashion of ladies to ride
astride is, however, now rapidly spread

HOW TO BUY A HORSE.

An old horseman says: "If you want
to buy horse, don't believe your own
brother. Take no mans word for it.
Your eye is your market. Don't buy a
horse in harness. Unhitch him and take
everything off but his halter, and lead
him around. If he has corn or is stiff,
or has any other failing, you can see it,
Let him go by himself always, and if he

THE ORIGIN OF THE SIDE SADDLE

The new style of riding, en- cavalier,
which is already well established in the
West, turns out to be, after all, says a
California exchange, like most new
fashions, only an old mode revived. In
the early days all women used the cross
saddle. Great queens rode at the head
OF their armies, and wonderful tales
are told of their endurance In the saddle.
Women might be riding In the same way
still but for an accident of fortune. 1t

thoroughbred stallion is only sixteen
years. Galopin, however, comes of a
hardy race. His sire. Vedette, lived to
"A good old age, and his grandsire, VOltig-
eur, was twenty-seven when he broke his
leg and had to be shot. This was the age
of King Tom when he died. Stockwell,
who was the most famous stallion of this
century, was twenty-One, and his great
rival, Newminster, twenty. The Methu-

lando twenty-seven, Marsyas twenty-five
and Hermit twenty-seven. GunbOat, by
Sir Hercules, was shot when he was
twenty-nine. Lord PalmerstOn's only
Derby horse, Mainstone, lived to be
twenty-seven. 1t will be seen from these
figures that with luck there are four OF
