ONE LUNG IS CUT OUT.
knute Open Safely Deprived of Half
Of Vital Organ.

knute X. Open, a Chicago machin-
list, confined at the county hospital
from a gunshot wound in the left side
OF his lungs, underwent an operation
which deprived him of the injured side
OF that organ and part of the four ribs
covering it. He is now recovering
and the surgeons expect he will be
able to leave the institution in a few
weeks.
After the wound had been dressed
rubber tube was inserted through
the hole made by the bullet in order
to drain off the pus which hourly
formed in the wound. To secure the
tube a safety pin was fastened to the
prOtruding end. After some days the
pin sprung from the catch and worked
it's way into the patients breast. The
lung would not dry up so long as the
pin remained inside, and as it caused
much more pus to be discharged than
formerly the physicians deemed an
operation necessary. Open was chlorO-
formed and placed on the operating
table, and for two hours Drs. Lee,
Murphy and Burton worked on him.
They took out what remained of the
left lung and sawed off portions of the
third, fourth, fifth and sixth ribs.

TO SAVE FROM CRAMPS.
Important Advice Given by Expert
Bathing Instructors, 81 \

| is 1t possible for swimmer affected
with cramps to save himself or be
rescued by others? This question is
| orropos of the unfortunate ending
OF Lieutenant Duncan Sunday after
neon in Lake Michigan, off Fort Sheri-
dan. Could the young officer have re-
manned af1oat by his own exertions
| or were his companions actually COM
| PEELED to abandon him to his fate? This
was the query put to bathing instruc-
| tors.
For an expert swimmer, such as
Duncan is reputed to have been, it
would not be impossible for him to
save his own life," said Professor
Oscar knudson of the Young Mems
Christian association natatorium. "Of
course, [ have got to take into con-
slderatlon that he was not affected in
the stomach. AS he was able to talk,
l think the contortion seized him in
one or both his legs. l have frequently
got cramp in the water When it
catches me in one leg | usually strike
out with the other and increase the
stroke of my arms. IT one has enough
presence Of mind, | think, he would
conquer the feeling by stretching his
leg out to its full length, and thus get
ting the muscles in their natural posi-
ton. When the cramps strike both
legs it is the safest thing to turn over
on the back and scull with the hands,
This movement will keep the body on
the surface OF the water If Duncan'S
companions were at home in the water
they might have been able to save
him. The disabled man should have
lain on his back and placed his hands
on the shoulders of one of his COM
panions. The other soldier could have
pushed his shoulders against the feet
OF the lieutenant, and the progress to
shore would have been slow, but sure"
Cramps prove fatal in the water"
said Professor BertaIot, because the
swimmer loses all control of himself.
He has heard so much about the fanci-
ed deadly nature of the affection that
he Immediately resigns himself to
Watery grave. | venture to say that
il bathers would remember that they
have hands and arms and can turn
over on their backs there would be
notable decrease in the number of
deaths due to drowning from cramps.
Painful though the affection may be,
1t is good scheme for the swimmer,
when he feels the contraction of the
muscles coming on, to kick his leg as
hard as he can. Violent action may
serve to avert the trouble, just as
stamping your foot will relieve you on
the ground. If there is no relief this
way the bather should turn over on
his back and use his hands. Chicago

and 22-inch widths for bodices. Silk
foundations are imperative for these
airy garments.

produce stock of ribbon Of any color
and finish each end in an outstand-

MRS. ASTOR'S KITCHEN.

There is probably no kitchen in the
world aside from those belonging to
the palaces of the monarchs of Europe
where so much has been lavished as
in that of Mrs. Jack Astor on upper
Fifth avenue, New York. 1t is not a
single room, but suite of rooms,
occupying nearly the entire basement
OF the palatial residence 1t consists
of the kitchen proper, the sculIery, the
vegetable room, the bread and pastry
room and small sanctum for the
cOok-Where menus can be studied and
arran ged, and conferences held with
the maids. The floor is as clean as
any table in the land. The scullery
maids are down on their knees every
morning, often as early as O'Clock,
giving it scrubbing which makes it
shine like a waXed floor. Above the
.wainscoting of tiles the walls are
painted a dull gray to harmonic with
the color Of the tiles. Perhaps the
most conspicuous furnishings of the
room are the brightly FURNISHED cop
rers of every conceivable shape and
size. The roasting pans and frying
pans are enameled, and many of the
utensils are nickel-if not silver
plated. These, together with porce-
lain-lined saucepans, folding gridirons,
flesh forks, oyster broilers and lard
ing needles, have hooks and shelves on
either side Of the range, which is q
mammoth affair." divided into compart-
|ments-here a place for broiling and
there one for roasting. There is a
hood above the range to catch odors
and an electric fan to carry them off.
In addition to the range is an open
fireplace, where birds and fowls are
roasted; here one sees all the old
fashioned paraphernalia-cran pot
hooks, spit, skewers, a trivet and a
jack.
All the dressers are of oak, and have
glass doors Of diamond-shaped panes
of glass, but the bright particular in
novation of this fin-de-siecle kitchen
is a huge table which stands over
against the range; it is a metal table,
and constructed in such a way that
lit can be heated by means of pipes
which are laid about the under part
OF the table; the object o< the hot
metal table is to serve as a receptacle
for the different dishes as they are
taken from the fire, that they may
not grow cold while undergoing the
process-always more or less elaborate
of decoration before being borne
forth on costly dishes, by liveried foot
men, to the dining-room.
Only the more substantial part of the
dinner is cooked in the kitchen proper;
little room, separated by glazed slid
ing doors at one side, is the pastry
rcom; this is where the dainties are
manufactured; a marble-up pastry
table and hollow glass rolling pin,
which can be filled with ice, are
features of the pastry-room. Perhaps
the most alluring objects are the rows
OF ramekins and molds of jelly, aspic
and puddings; they are of even shape
melons, birds, birds nests. swans.
GoVes, cornucopias- form that
can be imagined. Gas stoves only are
used here.
In the room where the vegetables are
prepared are enough knives and vege-
