The YAK, or wild OK Of Tibet, has
suflcieI. spirit to turn and attack a
hunter. If 1t had more perseverance It
would prove a dangerous enemy. Col.
Prjsvalski, in his account Of his travels
in the Tibetan mountains, narrates an
adventure which illustrates the yaks
disposition:
I was returning to camp when saw
several old yaks grazing on a little pia-
teau. fired on them, and one fell and
slipped down the snowy slope. Stunned
by his fall, he lay motlOnless at the
bottom of the ravine / ran to him. AS
soon as he saw me, some hundred feet
away, he rose.and tried to fee. l fred,
but the ball did not touch him.
Then no turned and rushed at me. I
had only two cartridges; fred one at
q distance of seventy feet, and one at
q distance Of fifty feet. He stopped
when he was quite near me, holding his
head down and flashing his sides with
his tail.
was near enough to see his little
eyes and the blood which ran from his
nostrils. If he had had a little more
decision and energy should have been
lost. I could not get away, and had
no weapon but my empty gun.
We stood looking at each other. Pres
entity he raised his head and stopped
flashing his sides. Evidently he was
getting over his anger. threw myself
on the ground, and without taking my
eyes fromh him, era Wled backward some
sixty feet. Then I jumped up and
walked away as fast as possible. did
not breathe freely until some 200 feet
lay between US.

AOIK 4OySs -
A dolls house can be completely fur
nished with cork furniture for the
girls, and all the toy animals a boy
could wish for can be made for the
boys. All the materials needed to make
these toys are some corks, yarn, pins,
toothpicks, pasteboard and a sharp
knife and matches. To make q chair
take cork and stick five pins around
the edge, pretty close together. Now
fasten the yarn on the first pin, then
weave in and out, back and forth, until
you cover the pins to the top. Fasten
the yarn and you have made the back
of your chair. To make the legs stick
four pins at equal distances from one
another, In the other end of the cork.
Begin winding the yarn at the top Of
the pins, and wind round and round,
one pin at time, till you reach the
head of. the pin, then over and over
back again, then cross over to the
next pin and do the same till all are
covered and your chair is made. A
sofa can be made in about the same
way by using larger cork for the
seat. You can make tables by using
large fat corks, and putting pins in for
legs. Now for the boys: First make
horse, because that is what the boys
like best. Fake four matches for the
legs, and sharpen them so that they
will go into the cork. Then cut the
head out of pasteboard and a dot Of ink
will do for eyes. Make the hair with
pen and ink, then cut a slit in one end
Of the cork and stick this in. Make a
tail out Of some worsted and cut a hole
in the back Of the cork, placing this In
1t. You can make a bird by using q
cork for the body, matches for the neck
and legs, and split cork in two for
standard. Cut the head out Of paste
board and stick chicken feathers in 1t
and in the body.

his operations have succeeded. 1t
should, however, be stated that chill
dren alone have been treated.
A hunchback is a person whose verte-
bral column has broken down. What
should be done to correct this? First
pick up the vertebral column, straight
en- it out and keep it upright by an ap-
paratus until nature allows 1t to knit
together. This operation is made when
the patient is under the influence Of
chloroform. The child is laid on it's
stomach. Two nurses at its head and
two at its feet pull so as to stretch the
child. The others support him under
the umbilcal region and under the
sternum. With his hands the Doctor
makes an extremely vigorous pressure
on the hump, proceeding with method
until all the vertebrate have gone down
to the level or are even beneath the
neighboring vertebrae.
One perceives under ones hand, and
sometimes even hears, bony crackings,
which are evidence of the impairment
of the two spinal segments and Of the
slipping of the vertebrae one over the
other. The time required to arrange
the spinal column properly is from one
to two minutes.
The Doctor has not had one accident
in thirty-seven cases. He has even
been surprised at the facility with
which the operation has been done.
The great difficulty Of the operation
was to maintain the loosened spinal
column in it's normal position. The
slightest false movement might bring
about rupture Of the spinal cord and
so cause instant death. A circular
bandage Of plaster Is laid on bed Of
Wadding. Then over the vertebrae that.
constituted the hump are plugs Of wad-
ding, laid crosswise, allowing Of the
tightening of the plaster band without
having to fear for the child any incon-
venience in the functions Of the abdOm-
inal thoracic viscera. Ten to fifteen
minutes suffice for the construction of
the apparatus. After that time the plas-
ter is firm, the child can be brought to,
and the operation is over.
This plaster apparatus should remain

Then the first apparatus is replaced by
q similar one for the same length Of
time. After the second or third appar7

escence. The absolute removal of the
deformity has taken exactly ten
months.
