A DOGS BONEs IN HIS LEG.

The many friends of DR.. a. NJ. Phelps
professor of surgery in tire Medical col
lege. will be interested i'm the following
report of one of his experiments taken
from a New York exchange:
"Francis Cameo, 81 years of age, an
Italian, of No. 119 Mulberry street, sus-
tanned severe fracture of the tibia and
fibula six months ago, but the operation
then performed was unsuccessful, and
Cameo was removed to the hospital. Sill
yer wire was twice inserted in an effort
to heal the fracture. Necrosis had set in
however. and these efforts were unavail-
ing. Cameo was stretched on the operat-
ing table, the old wound was re-opcncd
and the necrotic bone carefully taken out
and the ends freshened and cleaned. A
dog was then chloroformed, and killed
and the bones of one of it's forclegs re-
moved. section of bone was cut into
small pieces and these were packed close
~ into the space that has been occupied
by the diseased part. The limb was then
oncascd in n plaster cast 1t is expected
Inflammation will quickly set in, and that
new bone will then begin TO form. In #
days or two weeks the cast will DO re-
moved and if the operation proves sue
cessful the man will be able to walk In
about two months"

crop to the dctrlment of future crops and
the improvement of the soil.
Third, the character of the soil must
exert influence on the method of applica-
ton. The chief effect thus exerted is
that already described under the action
of the three food essentials, and is the inn
mediate result of the absorptive power of
soils, whereby potash becomes absorbed
and husbanded in the soil till utilized by
the crop, though nitrogen Is lost by leach
ing. sandy soils being the most subject to
both these properties. The state of fer
tility of the soil also influence the manner
of application. with fertile lands the adj
visibility of broadcast application being
diminished.
Fourth the crop to be supplied with nu
triment must be considered in its relations
to the details of fertilizer application.
We are considering how, and what TO
apply or the question would be far more
intricate. Crops, like potatoes, on which
the sulphate Of potash Is supposed to be
preferable to the muriate may receive APP
pllcations of the latter with equal advant-
age If the application is made very early
in the season. Other materials should not
be applied until actually required by the
crop.

VERMONTS GOOD MEN.
(From the Troy Times.)

Remington Centre, VT, with popula-
ton never exceeding 300, has furnished
four governors to the State.-W aterbury
American.
Some of the villages up there furnish
one every other year; in fact, governor
ship in Vermont is something no man in
good society can afford to be without. 1t
doesn't always come high elther.-Spring-
ncld Republican.
The Neimonters believe in giving as
many as possible a chance at political
honor and therefore they stick to the ono
year term for their governor The prac-
tice has its drawbacks, but 1t also has adj
vantages, and not the least is this oppor-
tunity for rewarding deserving statesmen.
OF course a democrat stands no show In
that solid republican state, unless he re-
forms and becomes converted to what the
majority are firmly convinced is the true
faith. However, with all the changing the
Green Mountain state manages to select
pretty good men for office. But that Is not
to be wondered at, for IT Is a section which
produces bright men and clever statesmen

ONE STATE CEREMONIAL.
(Trom the St Adams Messenger)

Vermont will have one State ceremonial
to look after this summer, and that will
be the dedication of the monument to the
memory of Thomas Chittenden, first gov
ernor of Vermont. It Is said that 1t will
take place during the annual encampmcnt
of the Vermont national guard, so that
the troops may be available to take part In
the ceremonies There are those who do
not exactly approve Of The design of the
monument, and who think 1t Is neither
handsome nor costly enough for the pur-
pose, but, of course. it is rather late IN
the day to raise objections to 1t. The only
wonder is that the general assembly was

ACTION OF CANADIAN BANKS.
What officials Say About Their Re-
fusaI to Take Our silver ut Far.

WASHINGTON. Aug. u.-There was
some gossip at the Treasury Department
about the action of the Canadian banks in
deciding not to accept our silver certifi-
Gates except at a discount of 10 per cent.
In the past a considerable amount OF
United States bills have circulated beyond
the border concurrently with Canadian
money They have been receivable for taxes
and have been interchangeable without
discrimination. The present act of the
banks of Canada. it is presumed has been
the result of a fear that the country would
be forced on a silver basis. Greenbacks and
treasury notes are redeemable in gold,
and against such bills the Cana
dian banks make no discrimination.
Some of the Canadian street-railroad COM
panies have also given notice that they
will not accept our silver after Jan. !.
Canadian coins are not accepted now by
the United States street-raiiroad compa-
MES. except along the immediate border,
where they md their way back into
the Dominion at once.
There were baseess rumors afioat about
some sort of retaliation by this govern
nient. Treasury officials pronounced this
absurd. The Treasury Department has not,
and. i'm the nature Of things, will not be
officially informed OF the change of
policy of the Canadian banks. The ques-
ton whether they will receive our silver
certificates at par is fully a question for
them TO determine.
