Ants Heads in Surgery.

One of the most curious uses to
which insects are put was related at a
recent meeting of the Ennaean society
of London. 1t was stated that the
Greek barber surgeons of the Levant
employed a large species of ant for the
purpose of holding together the edges
of an incised wound. The ant, held
with a pair of forceps, opens it's mandi-
bles wide, and is brought near to the
cut being treated, so that it can seize
the two edges, which are held together
for the purpose AS soon as the unfor-
tunate ant has obtained a firm grip of
the cut, it's head is severed from its
body. Mr.. Issigonis of Smyrna, who
described the operation to the Linnae-
an society, said that he had seen ma
tives with six or seven ants heads
holding together wounds in the course
of healing. A similar observation was
made some years ago in Brazil, which
fact is interesting from an chronological
point of view, as showing the indepen-
dent existence of the same custom in
countries so far apart as Brazil and
Asia Minor-London Public Opinion.

Chinese Girl for Sale.
rom the san Francisco Call.)


If anybody wishes to buy little Chi
nese girl they have a chance at the
fishing camp on the bay shore, near
Brooks Island The little girls mother
is Mrs, Ping, and the child is named
Pic. She is about twelve years old,
and her mother says that she will take
eight hundred dollars for her at the
camp, although when she brings her to
San Francisco in a few months she will
ask one thousand dollars.
The mother who contemplates this
inhuman act is about thirty-five years
of age. She makes no secret of her in
tention, and looks forward with pleas
ure to the time when she can exchange
her daughter for gold. Pho has been
raised for the purpose of being sold,
and the methods of the work are most
peculiar.
Pho was born in San Francisco, and
before she was a year old was taken to
the fishing camp so as to be properly
trained to bring q good price Both
father and mother went with her The
father worked as a fisherman, and the
mother devoted herself entirely to
training her daughter. Pho is always
dressed in clothes Of the finest silks,
but they are somber in color and cut in
the plainest fashion. Her hair is al
ways brushed back plainly, and she is
never allowed to wear an ornament of
any kind. The reason for this is that
when she is sold and her master gives
her jewels and ornaments she Will be
pleased with them.
In the whole twelve years of her ex-
istence Pho has never been ten feet
from her mothers side, and she has
never been in a different room. She is
occasionally taken to San Pedro, but
has never been anywhere else.
The child is not what would be called
pretty, even for Chinese, She is lit
tie over four feet tall, and must weigh
about one hundred and thirty pounds.
She knows that she will soon be sold,
but does not seem the least concerned
about it. She can speak English, but
it is almost impossible to make her say
O. word.
Like all Chinese, Mr.. and Mrs. Ping
intend to go back to China as soon as
they have sold their daughter and got
the money.

The great actor, Henry Irving, with
Miss Ellen Terry, will presnt the "Mer-
chant of Venice" at the Hyperion on
Saturday evening, May 2. Henry Irv-
ing version of this play, unlike those
commonly given in this country, re-
tains the beautiful, poetical and merry
fifth act. 1t is usual to end the play
with the judgment made upon Shy
lock, and since the principal actor then
disappears from the stage, to sacrifice
the beauty and interest of Bassanio's
return to Portals home because the
star" as the play is commonly given,
has no part In the last act as Shake
speare wrote it. Henry Irving's Shy
lock wins no small measure of respect,
where hatred Is the common verdict.
Miss Ellen Terry's Portia is &C rea-
ton of absolute excellence-sprightly
gay, earnest and lovable. The reten-
ton of the fifth act in the performance
