German chemists have been expert
menting with Irish peat, and have Sc
cured such remarkable results that
syndicate has been formed for the
manufacture, on a commercial scale,
of the various products that may be
obtained from Ireland's boglands. One
of these products is an antiseptic
wool for dressing wounds. 1t pos
sesses absorbent qualities so great
that it will soak up nine times its
weight of moisture. The medical Ge-
partment of the French army has
adopted this substitute for lint, and
~, 600 kilogrammes OF it were sent
with the expeditionary force to NADIA
gascar. BY n different process of
chemical treatment the peat is formed
into material from which any article
requiring hardness and durability can
be produced. The German syndicate
has now on exhibition in London in
sulators, axle boxes, machinery bear
ings, gun stocks, pianoforte legs and
numerous other things to illustrate
the possibilities of this new material.
Peat has been used IN this country

Recovering From n Broken Neck.

There is n remarkable case of bro
ken neck being successfully set and
the patient showing every sign of re-
pital in Second avenue and Twentieth
street. The case is that of Miss Abbie
McCully, of West Fifty-sixth street.
She is the seventeen-year- old daughter
of John V. McCully, piano manufac-
turer in this city. Miss McCully lives
with her aunt. Mrs. Anna Smith, and
attends IA private school. During the
vacation Miss McCully visited another
aunt, Mrs. Harris, of Jersey City, and
while at this house ten days ago the
accident by which Miss McCully's
neck was broken occurred. She was
swinging in hammock with the two
children of Mrs. Harris. when in their
frolic the hammock was overturned.
1t was swung on the vernnda, and al
though it was only two feet from the
floor where Miss McCully fell, the
contact on the solid flooring broke her
neck. She had fallen on the back of
her head.
Medical assistance was sent for, and
after a careful examination the doctor
said that the neck was broken Mt the
fifth vertebra, and he pronounced the
case almost hopeless.
Anxious to resort to every expedi-
ent to save his daughters life, Mr..
McCully decided to send her to the
Post Graduate Hospital in this city,
and the girl was taken there in an
n lNt1lo in oh &c Il
Oxygen was administered at frequent
intervals to sustain her until she
reached the hospital. Immediately
upon her arrival there she was placed
upon the operating table and the
delicate and dangerous operation of
removing the broken vertebra was
performed by DIR. w. o. Plympton in
the presence of Professors Dana and
Kelsey. 1t was discovered that the
shattered vertsbra was pressing
against the spiral cord. Every parti-
Gle of the broken bone was carefully
removed and then her neck was ban
daged. All this time the girl had been
under the influence of an anaesthetic.
Soon afterward she showed signs of
consciousness, and it was not long be-
fore she entirely regained conscious
ness. The operation was complete
success, and Miss McCully has re-
NAMED at the hospital under the care
of the doctor and is rapidly recover
ing, so that in n month it is hoped
that she will be able to leave the
building. The doctors are hopeful of
her complete recovery, although they
think she will always have stiff neck.

elbow Shines n Good Deed -

One of the women attendants out at
the Children's Sanitarium on the Lin
coin Park lake shore. says the Chicago
Chronicle, tells pretty story.
"a woman who was sick enough
herself to be in the hospital came up
here with her child. 1t was n tiny
thing and SO weak that it could hardly
cry. The mother had to be assisted
under the shelter, and then we gave
her reclining place from which she
could see the lake. Soon after there
stopped in front of the building an
imposing carriage and team. The oc-
cupnnts were woman, whose dress
indicated riches and refinement; n
pretty and deliberately dressed baby
and the nurse. The three came in.
The mistress of the party saw the sick
woman and spoke to her. / did not
hear what was said at first, but a few
moments later | heard the woman
say:
Don't be afraid. / will leave YOU
my child as security. And with that
the rich woman picked up the tiny
child that was so weak and carried it
herself to the carriage and got in and
was driven away. The nurse and the
rich baby remained at the sanltarium
and entertained the sick woman, and
when the other returned the sick child
had on n new dress and bunch of
sweet peas was fastened about its
neck. 1t was SO quietly done and so
pretty, too, Just went off alone and
cried from 10y"

CuriOsities From the Koreans.

Frank G. Carpenter, writing about
the peculiarities OF Korea, says, among
other things:
lone of our ponies had to be shod,
and another time we put shoes on the
bull which carried the baggage. The
pony was first thrown to the ground,
and his four legs were tied together
SO that he couldn't possibly kick.
"Then the blacksmith pounded
hoop-iron shoes on his feet with a
rude iron hammer. 1t was the same
with the bull, though one man had to
sit on his head while he was being
shod. The iron seemed to be very
good, and it comes from the mines in
the northern part of the country. The
tools OF the country are made of it,
and the farming tools are very in
genious, the three and four. pronged
hoes being quito as good as anything
we have in America. They were max
ing tools in this blacksmith's shop.
and all the tools and plows are made
by hand
THE blacksmith had rude bel
lows, which was worked by boy, who
stood on see-saw, and by moving
up and down pumped the fire into IA
blaze. In other places L saw bellows
which boys worked by pulling stick
In and out like that of squirt gun,
and everything is rude in the extreme.
Sometimes horses are shod by
being strapped up to poles, so that
only two of their feet can rest on the
ground, and the band which goes
around the belly holds the horse up
while he is shod."

Japanese House Interiors.

There IS no decoration on the walls
of japanese houses. The woodwork
is usually polished in the natural
grain or covered with lacquer. The
walls are always of some soft gray
color, without the slightest thing to
vary the moDotony. The ceilings are
usually of polished cedar in small
panels. The partitions are made with
sliding screens, many of them being
simple frames of pine wood, with
windows of oiled paper or stained
glass; but in the reception rooms and
other portions of the lower floors
where company is entertained they
are often Of beautiful lacquer and
gold work, and are sometimes painted
by famous artists. Some of the screens
are very valuable. A single one may
be worth as much as all the rest OF the
dwelling. The only other ornaments
are placed In little recess called
'tokomona, which is raised about
six or eight inches from the floor and
IS considered the place of honor. The
Emperor would sit there if he ever
visited the house, but as he does not
enter the homes of his subjects under
any circumstances his statue or his
portrait is often placed there, with mn
ancestral tablet, IL kokemono or pic
ture roll and vase of flowers. Chi
