mont bores its way through the bone. If
any parts Of the skull had fallen into the
brain, which is exposed just as the instru-
mont picrces entirely through the skull it
would have meant certain death for the
animal.
Whom the trephine had reached the in
side of the skull the instrument was given
"a quick turn, which broke the thin inside
covering, and the small particles were
caught with pair of strong forceps and
pulled out in pieces. TIE opening into
the skull was made an inch to the left of
the depression. When the opening had
been finished, small instrument was in
serted. The instrument is of peculiar
shape and is curved at the end. Down
through the skull the piece Of steel was
pressed and then turned directly under the
depression. After this was done it was an
easy matter to lift the bone from the brain.
The bone was restored to its former posi-
ton, and then the inCisiOn was sewed up
and the place dressed.

A UNIQUE CLUB.
Formed by Henpecked Husbands In New
York.

York.
The nucleus of u unique society has
been organized by some well known young
bGncdicts in New York 1t is called the
Henpecked Husbands club. The club
promises to fill a proyorbial long felt want
in matrimony for concerted action against
the tyranny exercised by married women.
There are several good and sufficient
reasons for the existence of such IN or
ganization, say the members. Why, for in
stance, they argue, should the lord of crea-
ton be obliged to account for his absence
until O'Clock in the morning? And why
should II mans wife look at him suspi-
Ciously if he chance to have the odor of
cloves on his breath? These and other
cogent reasons have caused the married
men on the upper west side to revolt.
The leading clause in the constitution
of the Henpeckcd Husbands club reads as
follows: Resolved, That the wives Of
members Of this society shall be at liberty
to go where they like and to do as they
choose between the hours Of q. m. and 6
p. m, provided, however, that the same
privilege is allowed the husbands during
the remaining hours Of the "a. -
But those strange and unreasonable
creatures, the wives, have strenuOusly OBJ
jeCtcd to the formation of the society and
have refused the use Of their parlors or
drawing rooms for meeting places. In
this emergency the men have organized a
society in the cellar of brownstone front

A GOLD BOTTOMED LAKE,
kSory of Remarkable Discovery of Loose
Wealth In Alaska.

ktory of Remarkable Discovery of Loose
Wealth In Alaska.
Returning miners and prospectors from
Alaska tell differing stories Of their hunt
for gold. Some have been successful; some
have failed. There is one man, however,
who came down on the last trip of the
steamer Topeka who thinks he has found
such Il fortune that he is almost afraid 10
talk about it, for, as he says people
could not believe it"
Hans Christian Pando, m oil sea cap
tain and former resident Of Tacoma, is
the man who believes he has found u
treasure He, with seven others, has taken
up 1873 acres about Is miles from Stka,
and it is called "Pandc's basin placer
claim" Within the limits of the claim is
a lake 1000 yards long, 400 yards wide
and $50 feet deep. The lake is fed by VIA
ter from glacier above and its outlet is
only two feet deep, IA little stream that
hurrics ut lightning speed down the can
yon below. The action of the glacier
which has been going on for centuries
probably has brought down from the
mountains above large deposits of flour
gold and this has all, of necessity, been
held within the boundaries of tho little
body of water. The action of the glacier,
the dcCpness Of the lake and the shallow
ness Of the outlet are tho agencies
which, Mr. Pande thinks, have covered tho
bottom Of the lake with millions Of dollars
in -four gold.
Assays Of sand from the shores of the
lake, made by j. A. Becker, an assiycr at
Sitka, show that it will produce the al
most unbelievable result Of IS and $40
cubic yard. The statement that half n
cent cubic yard will allow II man to
make $lOO 600 year will illustrate the
size of Mr. Pando's find. He says that he
cannot Of course, believe or hope that
these assays will be borne out by future
Development, but if he can get only IL COM
paratiyely small part of that amount he
will be satisfied. What Mr.. Pande and his
associates want to do is to tap the rock
wall of tho lake on the lower side, so that
the water can be almost entirely drained
out. Then, Mr.. Pande thinks, u field of
flour gold will lie before him.
Mr.. Pandr's golden Mecca is reached
only by the greatest hardship and danger,
and he and two companions, he claims
are the only persons who have ever come
back alive from the little lake. The out
let scream, while only two feet deep, has
such u swift current that when the dis
cuvcrcrs were crossing it the icy waters
swept up over their heads, and it was only
by clinging with tenacious grip to "a rope
that had been caught on the other side
that they were saved from destruction. 1t
is impossible to reach the place in winter,
and Mr.. PaDde and his companions will
not make another attempt to visit their
lake until spring.-Seattlo Post-IntGlli.

Harrison G. Hobart, IL Wisconsin law
yer, had enlisted rs private and been
| chosen captain within week from Major
Anderson discussion with the South Car
Olinians at Sumter. The last wear Of the
war General Sherman and corps COM
mandcr called him TO headquarters and
offered him division. That would make
him an acting major general. He was to
take General Blanks division. Sherman
had blamed Blank for a shortcoming and
he sent III his resignation. Hobart left
headquarters with general who was
Blank 5 friend. Hobart they have naggcd
Blank into reSigning. 1t is an outrage. |
am going to tell him to Withdraw his res
ignation. Will you help me to show him
he should not resign" Hobart has Il
smile that is unforgcttablc. He INDUCED
in one of them ut that request, but prom
ised to help, knowing that success would
remove his last chance to become a major
general They sucGeudcd the resignation
was withdrawn. Blank did so well in the
engagements which followed that sherman
complimontod him and Abraham Lincoln
sent him commission as major general.
The evening after ShcrmGn's army had
its great review in Washington, Blank,
Hobart and the FREUD, brigadicr and
Two major generals, had IA social session.
Unwrittcn history was revealed. clio
bart, said the friend, Il think we ought
to tell Blank how he escaped being Il back
number brigadier instead of major gen-
eral whose division attracted much atten-
ton on Pennsylvania avenue today. 1t
was told Blank was grateful and pro-
posed the health of his friends. As the
glasses clinked Hobart INDUCED in anoth-
er of his grim smiles. That's the second
time I've seen that smile, " said the friend.
You smiled that way when asked you
to help keep Blank from going to the rear
when there was handsome fighting coming
on" Both successfully urged the Wiscon-
sin man to tell tho cause of those smiles.
Hobart, said Blank after the general
had spoken, "these two starred shoulder
straps are yours. l would have stood off
our friend here, but when both of you
opened battery on me surrendered and
recalled the resignation. But for your act
should be at home despising myself for
quitting the army too soon, and you would
be wearing these stars; you would have
led the division down the avenue today;
you would be on the eve of returning to
Wisconsin major general instead of u
captain, as you left it," ave did for you
what soldiers should be ready to do for
each other under like circumstances.
Then the astonished friend spoke: "Why
didn't you tell me they wanted you to take
the division? 1t was cruel to ask you to
Kill yourself and then take hand in your
burial. But mover mind. While you missed !
that other star you did an act that will |
give you crown of stars at tho end of our |
earthly campaigns. But 1 say, general, |
that smile of yours is the queerest thing l !
ever saw on human face" This sally |
helped them to happy parting an hour
later.

that he had 81, 800 to his credit in tbs

being that the book value of his associ.
