been made possible very largely by the
discovery of new mechanical appli-
ances which have in nearly every in
stance been the invention Of surgeons.
In the treatment Of epileptics, where
the surgical interference consists In
opening the skull over the spot where
the affected motor center is known to
be, and either removing 1t or in taking
away splinter or bone or bullet, which
presses upon it, the success Of the OPP
GRAFTON is vastly increased by the use
of an ingenious instrument, and an even
more adrOit apparatus which has been
very recently invented by able sur
geons.
One of the illustrations of this article
shows the skull Of Il patient opened by
the use Of DR.. Pyle's diamond drill. 1t
is needless to state how vastly superior
is this instrument to that of the ordi.
nary and now old-fashioned trephine.
The trephine entirely removes button
of bone, and to do this it Is necessary
to detach it altogether from the scalp
and perlosteum, and so prevent its fur.
Their usefulness in the healing process
or as a protection to the exposed brain
tissue.
But in the illustration it will be seen
that when the bony protection Of the
brain has been entirely cut through in
all parts except at its base, by these
diamond drills, 1t is pried and broken
back by the use Of lever, which ac-

theatrical performances, concerts or

without ever once going outside Of this
structure, 1t Is designed to have this
city within city covered In It's entirety
by huge plate glass roof like the Crys-
tai Palace at Sydenham. This roof Is
to be so constructed that by the pres

The rapidly enhancing value of real
estate in large cities and the tendency
to utilize to the fullest extent every foot
Of available space by erecting sky
scraping buildings has led Boston
architect to make very bold and strik-
ing prediction, He has put ON paper n
design for what he terms "the building
Of the future" which for originality
probably exceeds anything ever con
ceived in an architects mind. The
building he has drawn Is circular in
shape, with breaks in its interior ut in
tervals for light and air shafts. 1t is II
structure fifty stories high, and is de-
signed to accommodate 10000 people.
1t will not only provide living apart

The surgeon then takes the probe in

By hand of Peace the storm was stayed
Smoothed was the wrinkled brow
OF scowling War. Subdued, dismayed,
Shattered their boastful vow,
Our foemen in their ships again
Sped Ger the trackless sea,
While gladstone notes from myriad
Threats
Praised God for Liberty,
And DER the land by valor saved,
Our war-rent flag in triumph waved.
Then ring the bells, and young and old
With shouts the music swell
Let the glad tale again be told
BY tongue and changing bell.

Oppression's chains were riven.

MRS. Il. KING there would still be
nearly half a million acres outside the
State line Eighteen hundred and
seventy-hve square miles Of absolute
domain, In which one woman's will
is law. This seems incredible, but
such are the realty holdings In farm
lands alone Of Mrs. Richard King, Of
Corpus Christi Texas The whole Of
Southern Texas Is divided into Il few
great estates, one Of which belonged
to Capt. Richard King. He, dying In
1885, left the enormous area to his
widow.
Mrs. King Is 60 years Of age, lady
Of kindly instincts and admirable char
acterlstlcs that have made her greatly
beloved by the community. She lives
very plainly and does not spend 1.-THE
Of her income.
The division Of these pastures, which
the increase in population will soon
render inevitable, will be Of great ben
eft to the country, but 1t will destroy
the entirety Of as remarkable prop
erty as exists in the United States to-
day. The land alone Is worth full
$5,000,000 as it Is. 1t will be worth un-
told millions when 1t is devoted to
vniculture q possibility Of the near
future, for which it Is better suited
than 1t is for the purpose of raising
"scalawags" or long-horned steers.

buildings there is likely to pass away in
teresting relics of the early history of
our country which should be preserved
for the instruction and ediiication of pos
terity. In this article pictures are given
of some few of these interesting places
where Washington and his generals lived
and which were the background for deeds
and counsels 80 important in our coun-
try's early life.
1t was in April, 177G, that Washington
first went to New York and took up his
headquarters there. They were In
house on Pearl street, opposite Cedar.
There he remained until summoned to
visit Congress at Philadelphia toward the
end of May. On his return, June q, he
took up his abode at the Mortimer house,
later known as Richmond Hill. The
presence of Mrs. Washington and the UNI
healthy condition of the city Of New
York at that time induced the command
er-in-chief to change his headquarters
from the Pearl street house to this more
salubrious situation. Here Washington
remained until the evacuation in Septem'
Der, when he removed to the Roger Nor
ris house, Harlem Heights.
1t was October %, 1776, that Washing
ton established himself at White Plains.
His headquarters here were at the Miller
house, then located to the north of the
village. This house, which is still stand
ing and well preserved, gained its name
from its original owner, Elijah Miller, ad-
jutant of Col. James brakes Westches-
ter Regiment of minute men. 1t is q
frame building covered with clapboards.
The roof at the southeast front projects
so that pretty portico is formed. This
style of architecture was very popular In
many of the country cottages of that Pc
riod. Washington remained here until
November IA, when he crossed into New
Jersey and established himself at Hack
ensack.
Another Of the headquarters of Wash
ington about which cluster interesting as
sociations is at Neshaminy. By Sunday,
August 10, 1777, the army had moved
from Schuylkill Falls and Washington
had taken up his headquarters at Nesha-
miny camp, Bucks County, Pa, twenty
miles north of Philadelphia. The house
occupied by Washington was built of
stone and is still standing on the old New
York road, near the bridge over the little
Neshaminy creek, about half mile above
the present village Of Huntsville. The

Another interesting headquarters Of
Washington were In the house Of Chan

where the General arrived September IA,
