Mandsd a Broken Neck.

Two Cleveland, Ohio, Surgeons of
national repute, B. Humston and
Samuel q. Kaestlin, have succeed in
a triumph of surgery which will
astound the medical world. They
brought to complete recovery Erwin
Keidel, a fourteen -year-cid boy who
sustained complete fracture of the
third cervical vertebrae.
There is no case on record through
out the world where this has been
accomplished before. The greatest
surgical text books cite but two cases
Of even partial recovery. Both are
English cases, and in the one, the
victim died after fourteen months
suffering and in the other after fifteen
years of pain.
In contradistinction, the medical
profession are unanimous in assert
ing that young Keidel is now as ply
sically perfect as he was before the
fracture of the vertebrae was made.
The fracture he sustained is exactly
the same as that which is announced
in the accounts of executions by
hanging, wherein it is stated: "The
neck was broken and death was in
Simultaneous.
Erwin Keidel received his injury
on August "a, when he was run over
by heavy wagon The wheel in
passing over him doubled his head
under his body and the neck vetre-
brae snapped with sound like the
crack of a whip.
DR.. Kaestlin was Immediately on
the scene. He located the injury at
once from the fact that respiration
had ceased, the seat of the respira-
tory powers being located between
the third and second cervical yertre-
brae.
Holding the boys head so that the
returned, the doctor drove
with him to the hospital. There
Humiston was called and the two
surgeons determined to throw prece-
dent aside and enter into struggle
to save the boys life. Delicate oper-
atoms We're entered into with the OBJ
ject of having the fractured verte-
brae knit, and then the boys head
was placed in an immoyable iron
cage, while his body was also strap
ped down immoyably.
A month after the time of the &C
,ident the cage was removed and the
were amazed to find that
heir hopes had been entirely realized.
Young Keidel will be allowed to re
urn to his home next week, when

Love ard Tattooiag.

When young and poor one of the
now wealthy citizens of Waterbury,
Conn, loved poor and beautiful
maiden. So much did he love her
that he had her name and striking
portrait of her tattoced on his right
arm. Her parents opposed the
match and forced her to wed a 1ich
suitor. The young man vowed he
would never marry, and for forty
years he remained a bachelor. He
became many times as rich as the
man who had wrecked his youths
dream of love. A few weeks ago he
capitulated to the charms of one of
Derby's fair bellies, and proposed
marriage. She accepted on condi-
ton that he should have the tattooed
Renaissance OF his first passion re-
moved. The sight of the symbol
could not fail to prove embarrassing
to both. A doctor was called in and
performed q painful but not danger
Gus surgical operation, and the ecu /
terft presentment Of his first love
was replaced with an ugly scar as a
reminder, so be BOW says, to his soon
to be blide of the folly Of youth.

Household Hints.

Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
To prevent the smell OF paint put
a handful of hay in bucket of water
and let it stand in the room over
night.
To clean tinware dampen a cloth
and dip in soda and rub the ware
briskly, after which wipe dry.
One teacup full of ammonia to a
teacup Of water applied with a rag
will clean silver or gold jewelry.
Boil one ounce of fax seed in
pint Of water; strain it and put in an
ounce of rock candy, some honey and
the juice of three lemons; boil again.
Result: A nice old-fashioned cough
medicine. Drink it hot as you can
bear it.
Salt dissolved in alcohol is often
found good thing for removing
grease spots from cloth. Molasses
will remove the grass stains so often
found on the summer clothing of
children. Rub the molasses as if it
were soap on the stained place, and
then wash the garment in the ordi-
nary fashion.
To clean lamp burners take a
piece of sal-soda the size of walnut
put in to a quart Of soft water, put
your lamp burner in it IAN old tomato
can is good enough,) set it on the
stove, after boiling for five minutes
remove the burner, and when put
back on the lamp will be as good as
new. All the carbon of the old lamp
should be removed once every month.
TO keep your wicks from smoking,
immerse in strong vinegar, dry them
thoroughly, and you will be surprised
to see what nice, clear light you
will have.

OF our people who think they should
govern the State by divine right, and
hold office forever, are against him;
and then, the little boot licks of all
those classes are against him.
OF course the old office holders and
the saloon element will never forgive
Tillman for taking Office and then
closing the bar-rooms. In closing
the bar-rooms be did more for the
sobriety of this people than any
man who has held office since the
war. Does anybody doubt that if
Tillman's enemies could get in power
the bar-rooms would be open again
in South Carolina? and the gilded
palaces for the unwary, as well as the
dark alleys for the ensnarement of
the weak, would allure victims and
open pitfalls to destruction. We be-
lieve that three-fourths of the oppo-
nents Of Tillman would reopen the
bars, and We believe that much of
the opposition to Tillman is based on
the hope that we may again have
free liquor in South Carolina to de-
bauch and ruin her people.
Ever since Tillman appeared the
scene we have heard great deal
about "the best element" not sup
porting him. Who are "the best
clement" Is it the bar-room crowd,
or is it the great mass of the people
who propose to shut up the saloon?
Each man can answer for himself,
and choose his own company.
We do not admit that it is within
the power of Tiliman to disgrace
South Carolina, even if he were so
inclined. We can only be disgraced
by our own acts, or by the approval
of disgraceful acts by others. South
Carolina repudiates Tillman's i'll
manners. Nobody endorses that.
We are all sorry that he made the
mistake, but we do not think his ac-
ton excuses the action of others
which is equally reprehensible.
We know of but one community in
the world where dyspepsia is practi-
cally unknown, and that is the Shak-
ers Of Mount Lebanon, N. Y. These |
good people have been studying the
subject of digestion for more than a |
hundred years, and that they under
stand it pretty thoroughly, is evi-
denced in the forging fact. Their
Cordial is the safest and
best remedy in cases of indig aston
that we know of. A trial bottle can
be had through your druggists for
the triting sum of 10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial sup
plies the system with food already
and at the same time aids
the digestion of other foods. 1t will
almost instantly relieve the ordinary
symptoms of indigestion, and no suf-
ferer need to be told what these are.
LAAOL is the best medicine for
children. Doctors recommend it in
place of Castor Oil.

A Word About Pastures.

Remember that close grazing is ruin
GUS to any pasture. There is no economy
in it, for what the close grazing does
not destroy the hot sun will finish.
Don't destroy these valuable portions OF
your farm by being penny wise and
pound foolish. If you haven't sufficient
pasture for all your stock, sell some Of
the stock or feed grain. 1t has been dem
onstrated at the experiment stations that
by feeding grain to COWS while they are
being pastured we not only save the
pasture land, but in the end save money.
A little grain fed to the dairy COWS
every day during pasturing makes the
cream richer and the butter much supe-
rior than if given nothing but grass.
But before the grass is destroyed and
close cropping begins the grain feeding
should begin. Feed little grain morn
ing and night and restrict the animals
in their grazing, so that no one part Of the
field can be cropped too close.

Early Tomatoes. .

To make the tomato crop a pavino
one earliness, size and quality are more
inportant than bulk; hence market oar.
deners start their seed early in hotheds
As soon as the ground is warm enongh
the Seeding should be transplanted to
the garden or field Four feet either
way in the rows is a good distance for
the plants to be set apart, and this gives
one plenty Of space to work with the
hoe and later for the vines to spread. IF
the top soil is kept loose and well pul-
verified, it is an easy work to go over the
whole field once week and stir the
earth around the hills until the plants
begin to spread. After that they need
hoeing only after rains when the ground
is apt to got hard. A little nitrate Of
soda and wood ashes scattered in each
hill at the time the plants begin to vine
will greatly help them in their growth,
and the result will be shown in earlier
and better tomatoes, according to the tes-
timony Of a correspondent of American
Cultivator, who also makes suggestions
about stalking the plants. He says:
The easiest way to stake tomatoes is
to drive stake five feet long in each
hill and then attach the vines to it with
wool Irvine, adding more string as
new shoots grow and the vines begin to
droop in different places The cost of
this is very little-half cent hill
and it will save enough tomatoes from
rotting and increase the rapid growth Of
all sufficiently to pay in the end. On the
other hand, too expensive supports fail
to make proper returns. The outlay is
never really paid back.

WHEN A COLONY swARMs.

Which Orders the Proceeding, the Bee
Queen or the Workers?
A subject discussed in the columns of
The American Bee Journal, which clio
tied opinions from some of the best bee
keepers Of the country, was which Or
ders the swarming-the queen or the
workers. Seven out Of 23 apairists af-
frmed that the worker bees controlled
the proceedings, three thought that the
queen leads, several believed that both
worked together, and two did not know.
W. M. Barnum said: II don't know,
but think there is usually an under
standing between bees and queen. Pos
sibly the bees create the emergency, and
the queen gives the signal
Dadout g. Son said: "We think they
are unanimous on that point The queen
is angry because young queens are
reared, and the bees are uncomfortable
for want of room
Mrs. J. N. Heater expressed the opin-
ion that, with a normal first swarm, the
queen is among the last to leave the
hive, while with after swarms with viz
gin queens the queen is about the first
one to leave the hive.
E. T. Abbott remarked: ''Neither of
them. The economy of beehive is not
managed on the Debs plan. Each one
has mind to work the best she knows
how, and when the time comes for doing
a thing they all do it without any Or
dering The workers generally go out
first, however.
G. W. Demaree said: 'FThe worker
bees control the whole proceeding. Last
season was watching for the queen at
the entrance of hive where the bees
were in the act of swarming, and the
queen did not make her appearance IN
til three-quarters Of the swarm was in
the air, and when she did appear she
was being hustled out by force of arms,
/ distinctly saw an ireful worker bite
her as she sullenly vacated. I once
had swarm to issue while I had tbe
hive open and saw the internal excite
ment. and saw the queen make repeat
+ ed attacks on a sealed queen cell. but
the guards stood firmly and even used
force to drive her away. The old idea
that the queen leads out the swarm
looks rom antic and all that, bat it is
not according to solid facts. +"

Corn and Cotton Worms.

AS explained by Rural New Yorker,
what is known as the cotton worm con-
fines its work almost entirely to the
cotton fields of the south. It is differ
emit insect from what is known as the
boil worm in the south, and this boil
worm is the corn worm Of both northern
and southern cornfelds In the north
this boil worm also works in tomatoes
usually in the fruits-and in the pods
of peas. Thus the cotton worms and
boil worms are different kinds of species
Of inseots-but the adults of both are
moths-and it is the boil worm which
works on corn, tomatoes, ETC., In the
north. The cotton worm rarely occurs
very far north Of Mason and Dixon's
line.
