1t was jeffrey who said that '.medi-
cine had been defined to be the art or
science of amusing a sick man with
frivolous speculatiOns about his disOr-
der and of tampering ingeniously till
nature either kills, on cures him." He
might in his time have pronounced sur
gerry to be the profession OF licensed
mayhem. But medicine and surgery
have made great strides not only since
that day, but since the tine when thou
sands died under the lancet In the hos
pitals of our civil war or came home
mere fractions of their former selves.
Some statistics brought forward at the
annual meeting of the Massachusetts
Medical Society are eloquent as proof
of the triumph Of the new surgery over
the old. The comparisons were drawn
from the operations made in the Boston
city hospital between the years 1S64-69
and those of 1S69-94. During the. for
mer period there were treated 120
cases of compound fractures. OF these
G6 per cent. came to amputation. In
the case of compound fractures Of the
upper extremity Al per cent. died; Of
the lower extremity, 90 per cent. were
fatal. This terrible record Of mortal
ity occurred too in new and we'll
equipped hospital. an institution which
would compare favorably with any Of
that time.
In the later period the beds had in
creased from $50 to 800, but in spite
of that fact the number Of amputations
had fallen to eighty-two, and Of these
the mortality was exactly onesthird Of
what it had been. In amputations at
the thigh the mortality was reduced
from So per cent. to 12ll per cent,

All that Is necessary to make any Of
the changes suggested and to adjust

nearly all the changes that are neces-
sary to put women's wheels In proper
condition can be effected.
A proper position for a woman on a
bicycle is shown in figure 8. The rider
there sits easily and gracefully, and the
work OF propelling her wheel is not half
the work exerted by any Of the others.
She not only looks well, but 1t Is posi-

Professor William Nj. Watts, of Still
Pond. has a novelty in the form of b.
cold stove. The stove is for use In the
heated months Of summer for reducing
temperature, just as stoves heated by
fire are used to raise the temperature
in winter. BY the use of salt, a small
quantity Of Ice and patented chem
ical the most intense degree of cold is
secured. So great Is the cold that IL is
as dangerous to touch this cold stove
when in operation as 1t would be to
place the hand on fire stove at high
degree of heat. The skin is instantly
tafen off and painful injuries are the
result of the slightest contact. Pro-
fessor Watts states that during the hot
test weather the temperature of room
may be run down and made pleasant by
the use of this novel device. The new
process was discovered by a college
mate of the teacher of the Still Pond
school. The cost of operating the stove
Is very slight.-Chestertow Transcript

low. II It were raised to its proper
height her knees would not pump up
and down before her chin with every
revolution like a pair Of piston rods.
If It were raised she would have a de-
cidedly better appearance, her skirt
would hang better, she would ride more
easily and Ii would not be hard for
her to guide her wheel, as 1t certainly
is in the position in which she is
shown.
The awkward position shown in fig
ure No. 2 is the result of having the
saddle too far back from the handle
bars. so that the rider can just reach
the steering apparatus and no more
and so that she has to push forward
on the pedals almost as much as down
in propelling her wheel. The position
which that adjustment of the machine
gives makes the rider look as If she
were trying to keep her seat on buck
ing bronco from which she was expect
ing to be thrown at any instant. If the
saddle were brought forward little
and raised slightly the position would
be good. The lady would be sitting
over the pedals, too. rather than behind
them, and would have enough of her
weight on the handle bars to guide her
machine easily and safely.
There is such thing, however, as
having the saddle too far forward and
too high. as Ia shown in figures 3 and
4, which illustrate positions just the
reverse Of those In the figures explain
Ell above. In figure 3 the rider has the
appearance of climbing steep hill and
OF working very hard in the ascent,
simply because her saddle Is too low
and too far forward. She has to push
back on her pedals rather than down
and has not room enough between the
saddle and the pedals to give full swing
to her knees. Raising the saddle and
putting 1t back a little would give the
rider graceful and easy position.
The difficulty shown in figure Is the
opposite of that in figure 1.-The saddle
is too high. The rider has to tip for
ward in order to reach the pedals when
they are at their lowest point In max
ing. revolution. That attitude Is, per-
haps. the most firing that can be as
sumed by rider on long journey, as
It throws the entire body out of posi-
ton. The adjustment would be correct

The Board Of State Auditors allowed
the claim of Charles Howind, of Jackson,
against the State for $4,000. The State
Legislature passed joint resolution for
the relief Of Mr.. Howind, giving the
Board of auditors power to adjust the
claim ut any sum not to exceed $4,000,
and II was decided that he was entitled to
the full amount. Howind was injured
while in the employ Of the State at the
Jackson prison, where he was engaged on
contract. His clothing caught on some
shafting and he was badly injured. Sew

changes to realize the extent of the cal
culation and responsibility.
When spring changes are to be made
the train dispatchers of the division are
sent for and assemble in the cardroom.
There they meet the superintendent's
clerks and begin manipulation Of the
boards. This would seem to be a small
affair, but the change Of the time mt one
station In that division of one train
necessitates the change of the time not
only at every station on the division,
but also frequently involves the time Of
other trains. Then the clerks and dis
patchers must compute the changes,
verify them, make the changes by a
general shifting Of the station pins and
check off on the printed card.
While at the boards the men present
group work on n board twenty-six feet
I'm length. Stations are scattered down
the board, but the enormous number
Of trains involving the suburban SER

studded spider web. The men take

vice or some through train. AS the
change of time Is called for the start

ding the train or series cuts out the
pin and makes the shift to comply with
the new time. He corrects it by check

short, the mortality from compound
fractures was two-thirds less than un-
der the old methods. The physicians
attribute this saving OF life to asepsis.
The new surgery permitted the sur
geons to wait much, longer than for
merly before operating. They could
now wait until the aseptic regime to
see If the compound fracture did not
heal itself, which 1t frequently did, and
in the majority Of cases amputation
was unnecessary
Under the new surgery healing is
painless. The only pain now felt Is that
of the incisions. After that has sub
sided there Is no pain i'm aseptic heal

IT. 1t IS not bit harder to have pi-
cycle adjusted to fit than to have 1t
adjusted 30 that 1t does not fit, and the
difference In appearance is everything.
In most cases the changes necessary to
alter the position and appearance or
rider from bad to good can be made by
raising or lowering the handle bars or
the saddle, or moving the latter a little
forward or little back In nine cases
out of ten women who look and feel
awkward on wheels do so because the
seats and handle-bars of their machines
are not properly adjusted.
The accompanying pictures show
some Of the many shades of difference
between the right position, In which
woman may ride gracefully and easily.
and the wrong positions, In which she
Is sure to look awkward and uncom-
Portable. Many women may find in
these pictures, too, hints that will help
them to correct their styles Of riding
and enable them to better enjoy an ex-
ercise which has been only half pleas
urable In the past because they did not
know how to follow 1t.

Is done until an absolutely correct table
Is turned out from the press.
This Is a fair explanation Of the trou-
BILE 1t causes the employees of q great
railroad system In the mere arrange
ment Of tables for the operation OF the
trains. The cards thus compiled are
the result Of painstaking effort In the
superintendent once, based on the ar
bitrary natural conditions Of the road.
In the city. for instance; there lss an
ordinance which compels the trainnien
to hold their trains always In full con-
troll and not exceed a given rate an
hour. Then there are heavy grades at
certain points and the trains can only
make certain speed. These are arbi-
trary points and the time needed to
cover them must be deducted first and
then added in the whole distance to be
covered on a single trip.
Any failure to make due allowance
for these arbitrary points will throw
the whole schedule out of running or
der and make wonderful amount of
trouble for somebody. Hence the men
are selected for their accuracy as well
as knowledge, and what seems to be a
trifing employment Is really the one
thing which makes travel by rail a
thing of safety and dispatch. The de-
lay Of train running on a schedule
thus compiled will throw everything
out of order and cause no end Of trou-
BILE from one end OF the system to the
other. 1t is no mean task to get out a
time card for a modern railroad with
thousands Of miles Of tracks to cover
and hundreds OF stations to provide
with adequate service.

Whether the Bay City lumbermen feel
that Canada will put an export duty on
logs brought to this country cannot be
told from the quantity that was towed
there in June. The custom house figures
show a total of 40, 1875 900 feet, but this
is no more than in Jun. last year. There
are several RATS on the way. They av-
eragc about 3,0OO,00O feet. OF the thir-
teen RATS towed in June, the largest con-
tain.d 4.500.OOO feet. in addition to this
quantity of logs, there were received g.
10000 feet of lumber from Canada and
3,7Si,0OO feet from the United States
ports, making total greater than the
quantity shipped from Bay City, which
was $3.50, ,035 feet. The great bulk Of

Lace Making I'm Ireland.

Among the different industries pur-
sued by Irish women lace making has
become by far the most general.
Needlework Of various kinds was ac-
lively promoted in Ireland during the
years Of the great famine as a means
of preserving the poorer classes from
starvation. At that period, when men
could do but little for their families,
nearly 100000 women were engaged
between sewed-muslin work and lace.
This industry, however, subsequently
declined. and 1t is only within the last
few years that 1t has begun to be re-
vived and to receive a thorough de-
velopment. Depots for the sale Of lace
and other textile commodities were es-
tablished by Lady Aberdeen Mt Lon
