The Garden Help to Good Living.

should be, best shows what advanta-
ges farm life may offer 1t is not cred
liable to farmers that the residents Of

ought not to be so. Even In the matter
of earliness, it is within the power OF
the farmer with a good greenhouse to
compete for his own table with the
market gardener, even in the winter
and early spring. But if he does not
care to 20 TO this expense. he will be
inexcusable If he does not provide an
abundant variety of everything that
can be grown in the garden in the open
air. If the farmer was obliged as his
wife Is, to provide the material three
times day for wholesome and palata-
BILE meals, he would pay more attention
to the garden than he does. In any
well-ordered family the garden ought
to furnish half of what is eaten during
the summer and fall months. and the
half that will certainly give the great
est pleasure to unperverted tastes and
appetites.

REMARKABLE SURGERY.
Skin Taken From a Girls Arm and
Grated ON AnOther's Face.

One of the most remarkable cases of skin
grating has just been completed at the Allie
gheny general hospital. DR.. r. L. McGrew
is the surgeon who has made the record, and
he finished his work yesterday says the
Pittsburg Post.
Some four weeks ago Ida Chapman, four
years old, was badly burned at her home
in New Cumberland, W. Va. The lgaments
of her face were so drawn up that it was i'm
possible for her parents to recognize her.
When the child was taken to the hospital
DR.. McGrew successfully operated upon her.

had sunk deep into the chin. The operation

curves and line of the mouth. The two lines
which run from the extremities of the mouth
had been entirely obliterated by the fire.
DR.. McGrew by taking the skin from the
girls arm, and sewing Il TO the disfgured
part of the face, was able to restore the line
feature of the face.
Exactly was done with the lines of the
face was done with the nose. The girls nose
had been utterly disfgured and contracted

The girls features have now been entirely

as she ever did, and will be able to leave

Physicians consider this one Of the most
remarkable operations that has ever been
known. Altogether there were thirty-two
stitches required to saw the skin from the

WOMEN HUNTERS.
Many OF Them Expert WITH the
Rife.

newspaper said the other day that as
rifle shooting required a steady nerve and
good eye, few women were capable of US
ing the most delicate of firearms. AS mat
ter of fact, when a woman has had an equal
chance with men at rife practice she has
more than demonstrated her ability to equal
man with the weapon, says the New York
Sun.
Every year men go to Maine to Canada
to the Rockies, to Africa, to India, and shoot
from the runways,- moose from boats and
tigers from the backs of elephants. They
also take their alpen-stocks and strap cramp-
ons on their feet, to seek the chamois of the
bleak Alps. and it is pleasing to note that
the difficulties of the precipices and the shy
ness of much-hunted game are not too much
for the hUntress, with cheeks made rosy
by the thin cold air Of high ATTITUDES, since
she fetches her game down man fashion. So
far as is known no woman has ever killed
an elephant, but lions, tigers grizzly. Rus
sian and black bears, pantherss leopards
deer of most II not all kinds; and
the uplands long shore and sea birds
have fallen when women have pressed the
triggers of their weapons.
So important has woman become in the
hunting field that the manufacturers have
had to pay special attention to weapons for
her use The guns must not be so heavy as
those for men. The coming of smokeless
powders and long. slender bullets fired from
six to seven-pound rifles. has put women on
a footing beside men, for the new rifles will
kill anything.
