MobEPN SURGERY.
The Large Part Tint Absolute Cleanliness
Plays In Its Operations.


There are three locations, SO to speak,
the absolute cleanliness of which must
be above suspicion before the operator is
justified in proceeding to his work.
These are the surgeons hands, his in
struments and the integulnent covering
the part of the patients body at which
the operation is about to be performed.
How is the requisite cleanliness in each
case secured? 50 far as the hands TIRE
concerned, by profuse %scrubbiag with Il
nailbrush in soap and hot water, fol-
lowed by a thorough drenching i'll some
antiseptic solution, us that of | i'll ., 900
of ~perohloride Of mercury. So far az
ilizing theni-that is, by boiling them
i'll water. or by passing them through
the fame of a spirit lamp, or placing
them in a steam, sterilizer, and then,
when the operator is ready to begin, by
putting them into Il receptacle contain
ing an antiseptic solution-as, for exam
pie, that of carbolic acid. Lastly, SO
far as the patients integument is con-
cerned, by washing the part first thor
oughly with soap and water, having
previously shaved it, if necessary, and
afterward with a perchloride of mercu-
ry solution, on, if the part be greasy,
by removing all the greasy material by
%scrubbing it with ether.
Without going into further details
these are the cardinal precepts of tho
science of operating in the present day.
OF course each wound which in this
manner 10 made under aseptic condi-
tions, as it is called, is kept aseptic by
the use OF antiseptic dressings until
healing has taken place. The results Of
nothing less than wonderful in compar-
ison with those which the earlier sur
geons were able to obtain. What hap

limb nowadays? Tho rule Isl nothing

the temperature and tho pulse of the pa

wound. The temperature and the pulse

HIGHER EDUCATION.
The Interesting Results of the Study of o
Frogs Tiny Muscle.

Frogs Tiny Muscle.
The young man who has had the
priceless experience of self nj 4 donment
to some happily chosen poilS was well
illustrated in u MAJ / lnow, writes q.
Stanley Hall in The Forum. With the
dignity and sense of finality of the
American senior year quick within him
his first teacher i'll Germany told him
to study experimentally Il of the II
muscles of a frogs leg. The mild dis
sipation of a somewhat too prolonged
general culture, aided by some taste for
breezy philosophic speculation, almost
diverted him from so mean an object.
But as he progressed he found that he
must know in a more minute and prac-
teal way than before-in a way that
made previous knowledge seem unreal
certain definite points in electricity,
chemistry, mechanics, physiology, ETC.,
and bring them to bear in fruitful rela-
ton to each other. AS the winter pro-
ceeded the history of previous views
was studied and broader biological re-
lations seen, and as the summer waned
and o second year was begun in the
study Of this tiny muscle it was seen
that its laws are the same in frogs and
men; that just such c~ontractile tissue
had done all that man had accomplish
ed in the world, and that muscles are
the only organs of the will. AS the
work went on many of the mysteries Of
the universe seemed to enter in his
theme. In the study of this minute OBJ
ject he gradually passed from the atti-
tude of Peter Bell, of whom the poet
says:
A primrose by q rivers brim
A yellow primrose was to him.
And it was nothing more
up to the standpoint of the seer who
''plucked a flower from the crannied
WALL and realized that could he but
understand what it was, root and all,
and all in all, he would know what
God and man is. Even if my friend
had contributed nothing in discovery to
the temple of science, he had felt the
profound and religious conviction that
the world is lawful to the core and had
experienced what a truly liberal and
higher educatiou-in the modern as dis
tinct from themcdiaval sense-really is.

Mr.. GRAuBER'S fire.
One Barber Chair and a Boiled "
Shirt Ruined.
incidentally There Was a Fight and
and a Weeping Match.
Now the Boss Shaver Wants His
Insurance Money.

Barber Charles Graubcr, who has a
little shop at lis Attorney street, had
his first experience with fire at .
o'clock this morning. 1t caused him so
much trouble. and he caused so much
trouble in his excitement, hat he is
likely to remember the day for a long
time.
The shop Is only ten feet square, and is
BACK Of a shoe store. Grauber lives on
the floor above 1t. Formerly he had to
go through the shoe store and into the
street to get upstairs to his rooms. He
thought that was too long a way, so he
cut a trap door in the floor, and now he
just drops from his room into the shop.
This morning he woke up and detected
the odor of smoke. He jumped from his
bed and awakened his family. Then he
took two Of his children under his arm,
his wife Frederick took the third, and
they got out OF the house.
In the street they all yelled fire so lus-
tlly that Policeman Balm turned in an
alarm.
The hremen responded in a few min
utcs. When they broke into the burn
ing shop they found Granber's head
barber and assistant fast asleep in the
smoke-hlled place, The head barber is
Elias Horse. the assistant is Tony Nag-
encr. They are usually called Horse and

With Grauhe, but b,ing II stout man

Since then he has slept down stairs.
The iremen got Horse out easy enough,
but they couldn't arouse Wagner. 50
they carried him out. Whether he was
overcome by thss moke. or only u sound
sleeper no ns could say.
He revived. or woke up. as soon as he
got into the cool air, and Immediately
began TO cry. The only whit Airt
he possessed had been burned, As he

CALL UP The BOSSES!

Corrupt Practices Law.
They Were the lnstigators Of the
Fraud in the Second,
Offered Prizes for Big Votes and
Now Desert Their Tools.

The testimony in the trial of James A.
Dooley, who was convicted of tampecing
with the ballots while acting as inspector
in the Nineteenth Election District of
the Second Assembly District, shows
how banncr districts are made and car
ried by Tammany Hall.
In the Nineteenth Election Precinct OF
the Second Assembly District 27l votes,
all that were registered, were recorded
for Maynard, and none for Bartlett, al
though eleven or twelve men swore they
either voted the Republican ticket or
were registered. but did not vote.
There are thirteen other election dis
tricts in this Assembly district in which
similar liberties were taken with the
ballot. In some the Tammany in
spcctors, in their zeal to carry off the
banner, did not ever allow the ballots of
the Republican inspectors and watchers
will snow. In fourteen districts Paddy
DIVERS heelers surpassed themselves
and all records of ballot-boX stuffins In
New York. They gave Tammany Hall
i,7O6 votes, and the Republicans nifty.
The 4,7W Tammany votes cast in the
fourteen election districts in question
almost equal the honest Democratic vote
of the entire Assembly district, the nor
NAL vote being estimated at 5000. There
are thirty-four other election districts in
the Second, but the. fourteen mentioned
take the palm for fraud.
