Kept Carefully by the Telegraph

From the Chicago News.
Telegraph companies guard their blanks

lie is supposed never to get possession Of
them, and 1t cannot do SO without collusion
Of some Of the operators, says the New
York Press General Superintendent Tinker
Of the Western Union Company says these
blanks are kept under lock in the store
room. They are issued to the receiving
operators without the formaity Of re-
QUESTION, and the operators do not have to
account for what they do not use. The
telegraph company always is able to pro-
Of these blanks by outside persons because
Of the checks Of the sending and receiving
operators, time sent and received. etc. So.
beyond ordinary precautions, the company
does not go. An operator can take couple
Of dozen receiving blanks out with him If
he 30 minds.
The public, however, has no means Of
Judging for itself whether a cleverly got

Some years ago. when Senator Bradley
started the five-cent stage line that ran the
length Of the Park, the route became pop

put In service to accommodate the travel.
One day a man came along with a large
blind horse, which he wanted to sell. It
was truly a fine animal, but being blind its
value had deprecated

So the blind nag was bought and went
into the stage business. At the close Of his
1rst days work the driver reported that he
did all the pulling; in fact, the horse drag
geo mas mate along. and was a perfect
steam engine. Mr.. Bradley tried him to his
buggy, and the familiar snort and long
strides Of the big horse will be remember

buggy for years. and literally died In the

Embnlming Instead of Amputntfon,

Embnlming Instead of Amput.t,or
From the Hospital
A new and simple mode OF treatment has
been introduced in France, by which. It
Is Claimed, large proportion of injured
limbs now usually amputared can be saved.
Inc method. which is due to Dr. Reclus.
was recently described before the French
congress of surgery. and is thus explained:
Whatever the extent or gravity of the
LESSONS, he CDR. Reclus) never under any
circumstances. amputates the injured limb,
hut merely wraps it in antiseptic SUBJ
stances by a veritable enlAa lining process.
leaving nature to separate the dead from
the living tissues. This method of treat
ment possesses the double adyanta ge of he
Ing much less fatal than surgical exaeresis,
and OF preserving for the use Of the patient
II not the entire limb, at any rate a much
larger part than would be left after ampu-
tation. He advocates this very conservative
treatment on account OF the excellent ef-
fects OF hot water, which he uses freely.
After the skin has been shaved and cleans
ed from all fatty substances by ether, etc,
In the usual way, jet Of hot water 60
to 62 degrees c. Q4O to 144 degrees), but
not higher, Is made to irrigate all the in
1ured surfaces, and to penetrate into all
the hollows and under all the detached
parts of the wound, without exception
This is the only way Of removing all clots
and to wash away all foreign bodies, to-
6eehei Will TIC HlCio-of sdniSfnS tney may
contain. The advantages of hot water at
this high temperature are threefold: a.
hot water at this temperature is antiseptic,
heat greatly increases the potency of anti
septic substances; C2) 1t is hemostatic Chat
Is, stanches the flow Of blood; (3) it helps
to compensate for the loss of heat result
ing from the bleeding. and especially from
the traumatic shock After the 'embalm-
ing process, and the dead tissue has been
separated from the living, the surgeon has
nothing to do except to divide the bone at a
suitable spot. According to Reclus. the
results attained are remarka ble'
