THE X RAYS.
Their Value in Surgery Recog-
nized in New York.
Buckshot Located in the Hand OF
Member of a Big Law Firm.
Tho Shot wcro Sharply Pictured, and
Whom Counted Were Found to BE Forty
In Numbcr--Ths Bones of the Hand.
Wore Pictured as n Faint Shell.

NEW YoI;K. Feb. 2l..-Prof. Pupin, OF
Columbia college, in his experiments
with X rays. has obtained some very
striking pictures, one that of the hand
of q member of a big law firm in
Wall street. This lawyer, while
cleaning gun two months
ago, sent load of shot into
his right hand, rendering it useless.
Many of the shot were dug out, but
the surgeon knew there were still
many embedded in the hand, but he
was unable to locate them. On his adj
vice the lawyer went to the laboratory
in Columbia college on Wednesday
night To have photograph taken of
his hand by X rays.
Prof. pupin readily agreed, and for
So minutes the lawyers hand, strapped
to a Photographic plate-holder, in
which there was highly sensitized
plate, was exposed to the X rays
from Crookc tube, the back OF the
hand being toward the rays. When the
plate had been developed, it was found
that there was the merest suggestion
of the flesh on the plate, while the
bones were pictured as a faint shell.
The shot were sharply pictured, and
when counted were found to be 40 in
number.
The plate was put in it's rack to dry,
but one of Prof. Pupin's assistants,
jealous to dry it in n hurry. held the
plate over n lamp, melting the gelatine
coating where the thumb was pictured,
and spelling it for the purpose of the
surgeon. The lawyer will have his
hand photographed again.

MERCHANT VS. DRUGGIST

If a merchant offers you dollar
bottle of medicine for 33c, you can
make up your mind you are being
swindled. So says one OF our bright (?)
druggists. But if you buy the same
identical bottle from the bright (?)
druggist and pay one dollar for it, then
who is swndled? It's all bosb for these
stores that make from 50 to 1000 per
cent to claim, because they have the
cheek to ask such outrageous prices for
their goods, that they are better. The
people of this city are getting their
eyes open to these facts, and assertions
don't go-quality tells as well as prices
Our goods are open for inspection to
every one; and the thousands of satis-
fled customers who visit our stores
every week proves more than one dis
gruntled competitor.

coNscslPTloN IN FRANCE.
Pc French Army Il One of the Greatest
OF Modern Time4.


Every Frenchman owes service to
the state in return for the protection it
affords his person, his rights and his
property" This principle is the foun-
dation Of the military administration Of
the French, whose army is one of the
greatest CT modern times, and whose
military discipline is said TO approach
as near to perfection as is considered
possible in so great an organization.
Formerly the period of active military
service was five years. but recently the
chamber passed bill reducing it to
three, at the same time lengthening the
periods spent with the various stages Of
the reserve force. AS in Germany, it is
possible to get a reduction OF this term
provided the young man can produce
proof Of certain standard OF education.
The degree Of bachelor, the certifi-
cate d'etude or the passing OF G special
examination set for the purpose enables,
though it does not entitle, the recruit to
get his period Of service reduced to Gre
year. This Communication is only granted
where there is sufficient ground for be-
licving the men are adequately trained
and up to the required standard.
Once out Of the active army, the men
PASS into the reserve fer six years, where
| they undergo short annual period Of
training until thoroughly efficient SOL
| diers. The next six years are spent with
the reserve, after which they are drafted
into the territorial army, or third line
Of defense, for another six years, frc-
qucntly rising in rank to the position Of
lieutenant, but not higher. Thence they
are rut on the reserve territorial list.
This system gives France q peace army
Of over 500. 900, which in time Of war
can be augmented to 2,5CG, Geo men, or
| even more.
Partly as result Of the republican
nature Of the Fronchman, and the adj
ministrative government. there is hardly
ever trace of class feeling in the rank
The man of gcCd blood receives no bet
ter and 10 worse treatment ut the hands
Of his fellows and his superior officers
than does the recruited farmland, and
rich and poor share equally and good
natuIedly the pleasant duties and the
dirty work.
OF course there rs everywhere a well
lined purse Is II passport TO certain de-
gree Of comfort and exemption from the
distastcfIl, but the unfortunate indi-
vidual who is foolish enough to give
demonstration of too much love foI

NOT 4 PHiLaNTHROF,ST.
Although He Willingly Gave . New Floor
For m Old One.

1t is not very often that such a SEEM
ingly philanthropic offer is made by one
business man TO another as that told Of
by a partner IN an old bullion house to
q reporter.
'Not long ago." he said, "a dealer
in gold and silver heard that one floor
of building which had not been coed
pied for some time was to be rented,
but that the prospective tenant had in
sisted that q new tioor be laid before he
take posse ssion, as the old one had be-
como very much won. The bullion
dealer knew that the previous occupant
had been manufacturer of jcwelry and
had been in business III the place for
many years. He promptly visited the
owner of the property and told him that
he would put i'll u new floor Of the best
wood for nothing. The owner made u
few inquiries, but the dealer said very
little in reply, except that he thought
he would manage TO scrapc n GCcd deal

Tor the now f!oCr and the labor for lay
ing it cost about $500.
1.-The old flooring was burned and
the ashes put through u course of rc-
duction. The rcsalt was that the bullion
dealer obtained nearly $500 for the gold
and silver which were brought out, or a
profit of about 100 per cent on the oper-
alton.

THE BROTHER srArEsMEN.

The appearance in Lexington of the
distinguished Tennessee brothers, ex-
Governor Bob and ex-Congressman Ali
Taylor is a matter of more han passing
interest. They are to present their
musical and h~istrionic novelty at the New
Grand opera house Tuesday, March Sd,
and it seems from whct the newspapers
say OF it and from the immense audiences
they have drawn that it is something
unusually entertaining. These are the
men who were called a few years ago the
''iddling statesmen and who were the
talk of the country when they ran against
each other for governor, Bob q democrat
and ALI a republican.
yankee Doodle and Dixie'' is their
theme. It is described not as q lecture nor
two lectures, but as a dramatization Of
patriotism-a moasic Of brilliant ideas,
farcial situations,fu provoking incidents,
anecdotes and old folk songs. Alt
Taylor is the first actor in this peculiar
drama aud he Ii a master of his theme.
Bob Taylor brings up the second act.
The Birmingham Herald calls him b
"~archangel of fun" lie IL q pleasing
orator, can sing like Rrignoli and his
part OF the joint programme is very
funny, and yet never descends from the
high plane of intellectualtty.
One of the most remarkable features of
this entertainment which seems to defy
analysis is the quartette IN which Bob
Taylor sings the second tenor.
