INSURANCE OF DOGS.

A novel insurance company has been
organized, and it is already doing a
large business in this city insuring
dogs against loss, stealing or i'm
pounding. This is done by registering
the dog with this company, with its full
description, and receiving a tag to be
worn with the city license tag. The
company has man at each pound to
release any dog bearing such tag and
return it Immediately to the owner.
This is a great advantage, as dogs often
contract diseases in such place. 1t
also saves both dog and owner much
misery, anxiety and trouble, to say
nothing of the expense and tiresome
travelling and red tape which are neces-
sary to rescue dog from the pound

MADE A NEW NOSE FOR HER.
Remarkable Surgical Operation Per-
formed Upon a New York Woman.

Surgeons in Bellevue hospital have
added to the list of accomplishments
by making a woman's nose to order.
The extraordinary operation was per-
formed in thirty five minutes, and the
patient will return to her home in a
| few days.
Mrs. Sophia Galderer OF 20 Bartlett
street, Brooklyn, has the satisfaction of
| figuring in this feat of modern surgery.
| Mrs. Galderer two weeks ago had no
nose. She has one now that is said to
be quite as useful and of as good ap-
pearance as the nasal member with
which nature endows the average per-
son. The operation was performed un-
der the direction of DR.. Joseph D.
Bryant.
Mrs. Galderer, whose husband is a
machinist, came to this country four
years ago from Australia. She long
has suffered from necrosis of the bones
in her nose. She went to several hos
itals in Brooklyn and this city for
treatment. She consulted specialists,
but could get only temporary relief.
she went to Bellevue hospital in May,
at DR.. Bryant's suggestion. Her nose
then had almost entirely disappeared,
and she readily agreed to trust the sur
geons to make another nose for her.
The operation was performed on
Monday, June Z. 1t was the first Of
the kind to be undertaken in Bellevue
hospital, and has attracted the atten-
ton of many surgeons. In the pres
ence of several eminent surgeons Mrs.
Galderer was placed under the intlu-
ence of ether, and DR.. Bryant directed
the work of making new nose for her.
An incsion was made, beginning
at the base of the nose and extending
on an oblique line an inch and quar-
t.: outward on the cheek. Another in
cision was made one inch below the
first one. The skin and tissue to
thickness of sixth of an inch then
was cut away from the cheek. These
operations were duplicated on the
other side of the face.
On the raw surfaces thus exposed the
surgeons grated heSh taken from an
other part of the patients body. This
flesh resembled nose in shape, and
nostrils were arranged for by the in
sertion of two silver tubes. The new
organ was carefully encased and has
been developing satisfactorily.
Before Mrs. Galderer leaves the hos
pital pieces of skin will be taken from
other parts of her body and engrafted
on the surface of the new nose. AS
soon as this heals The patient will be
ready to return home, the possessor
of a very satisfactory nose.
DR. Bryant was reluctant to discuss
the operation when asked about it.
DR.. Robertson. the house surgeon of
the third division. also declined to talk
about it.

She was asked where her right hand
was. She did not know. What was it
doing? She did not know. The paper
and pencil were removed and she was
unblindfolded. The sentence was read
to her from the paper as she had just
written it, but she did not remember Of
ever hearing it before, nor was she
aware that she had written anything,
although she admitted the writing
looked something like hers.
Dora" said the operator, 81 want
you to see that man over there. See,
he is tanning himself. Now | am go
ing to wake you again and then you
rap on the table. l want you to go and
take that fan away from him. She
was again awakened and soon entered
into conversation with all of the doc
tors, unhesitatingly answering any Of
their questions. She was asked to
point out DR.. Farnham, but she had
never heard of him. In the midst of
conversation DR.. White raped on the
table and instantly she arose and went
and took the fan from DR.. Farnham's
hand. An instant later she was COM
pletely surprised at her action. Asked
why she had done it, she replied that
she could not tell, except that an i'm
pulse just seized her to do it.
DR.. White used this last experiment
to point out the importance of the ex-
detrimental study of impulses original
ing in this way and the possible rela-
ton between such impulses and those
which result in criminal actions or sui
cidal or homicidal impulses. DR..
White explained that this girl is rap
idly improving from her mental disor-
der, for which she is confined in the
hospital.

SHREWDNESs OF THE RABBIT.

The negroes Of the south tell many
stories of the cleverness of the rabbit
in outwitting its natural enemies. the
dog, the fox and the wolf in circum-
venting every scheme intended for its
punishment. This belief in the sagac-
ity of the living rabbit gave rise to a
belief that dead rabbit has certain
magic powers, and one of the evidences
of the superstition is the habit Of car
rying a rabbits foot for good luck"
and also as charm against disease.
1t is the left hind foot that is preferred,
and if it be taken from a rabbit that
was in the habit of running through a
graveyard its efficacy is largely in
creased Times.

GIRL WITH A DUAL MENTALITY.
Remarkable Results of Experiments by
Binghampton Physician.

DR.. White of the Binghampton, N.
Y, state hospital staff has been making
some interesting experiments with a
little girl who has been placed under
his care. AS result of his efforts he
has demonstrated the dual condition OF
the child's mind and the existence of a
subconscience state. When the child
first arrived at the hospital she cou-
not see out of the left eye. Or. White
has proved that this eye does see, al
though the child Is unconscious Of the
fact. The patient while in one mental
state acts upon the subconscience
state. A second experiment proved
the reverse. A third experiment
showed the two divisions of the brain
acting simultaneously, yet independ-
emily of each other. DR.. White had
the child close to her right eye. He
held two fingers at an angle from her
left eye.
"Do you see my hand?" he asked,
NO." was the reply.
How many fingers am holding
up?"
1.-TWO, but | can't see them" was
the correct reply.
Under the docto's treatment the left
retina, which had been closed, is rap.a
ly charging and the child will soon be
able to use the defective eye.
The second experiment proves that
the conscious mental state acts upon
the sub-conscious mental state. The
child was blind-folded and asked to
think intently of some name. DR..
White slipped pencil and paper into
her hand, which was resting on the
table. After moment the pencil hand
began to write. The pencil and
paper were removed and the child s
bandages taken from her eyes. TIE
girl was asked what she had written,
but she said she had written nothing.
She did not known that a pencil had
been in her hand nor that her hand had
moved She admitted the name on
the paper was the one she had been
thinking of. No hypnotism was
used in this experiment.
At DR.. Whites suggestion one of the
gentlemen present chose sentence,
which DR.. White repeated to her sew
eral times until her subconscious men,
tai nature hau II memoriZed. She was
then told that she had lost the feeling
Of her right hand and arm and
awakened. She appeared wholly con-
scious of everything, but had no feel
ing in the right arm.
The other physicians engaged the
girl in conversation and she readily
answered their questions. While she
was thus talking with the others Dr..
White. questioning the subconscious
side of her nature. asked her to write
something. and instantly the sentence
learner few minutes before was writ
ten with the senseless hs.nd, but all the
| while she was talking With the others

Providence, r. l., July 24,-Presi-
dent E. Benjamin Andrews has re-

Vegetation on Glacial Moraines.

In the Century John Muir writes of
"Ihe Alaska Trip" Mr.. Muir says:
The wilderness presses close up to
the town, and it is wonderfully rich
and luXuriant. The forests almost rival
those of Puget Sound: wild roses are
three inches in diameter, and ferns ten
feet high. And strange to say, all this
~eXuberant vegetation is growing on
moraine material that has been scarce
ly moved or modified in any way by
poslglac,al agents. Rounded masses
OF hard, resisting rocks rise everywhere
along the shore and in the woods, their
scored and polished surfaces still I'M
wasted, telling of II time, so lately
gone. when the whole region lay in
darkness beneath an all-embracing
mantle Of lee. Even in the streets Of
the town glaciated mosses are exposed,
the telling inscriptions Of which have
not been elfaced by the wear Of either
weather or travel. And in the orchards
fruitful boughs shade the edges of gla-
cial pavements, and drop apples and
peaches on them. Nowhere, as far as I
have seen are the benefcent influences
Of glaciers made manifest in palmer
terms or with more striking contrasts.
No tale of enchantment is so marvel
Gus, so exciting to the imagination, as
the story Of the works and ways Of
snow-dowers banded together as gla-
ciers, and marching forth from their
encampments on the mountains to de-
yelop the beauty of landscapes and
make them fruitful.

TAPPED THE WATER SUPPLY
A New Well Intericrcs with the
low O" an Old one.

Chamberlain, sept. lS.-A peculiarly
in the volume Of artesian water supply
was recently noted here. The city l2-
eeives IT. water supply from an arteslan
well, situated on the side II a hill about
200 feet above the principal street. L
flow from the well has always been am
pie TO supply the needs of the lnhaD-
itants and for fire protection. y snort
inc ago an artesian well Nas sunk for
the purpose OF furnishing power for
running a roller mill. This Is at a point
more than 200 feet lower than the city
We'll, and distant from it probably hair
a milo. About TIE time water was
struck in the new well the flow Of the
city well began to diminish and contin-
ued u do 50 until the force was hardly
sufficient to force the water over the top
of the casing. 4 few days ago the flow
Of the new wen was reduced sufficiently
to furnish the power necessary for rum
ming the nil. Within a short tirle tn"
flow OF tire city well commenced to in
crease and has now reached practically
its former volume. This would indicate
that tie new well affected it, bat in
some quarters it is believed that 1t was
only q coincidence, and that the de.
crease and subsequent increase Of the
flow OF the city well was due to other
causes, one 81 them being the probable
temporary choking of the pipe.

GREAT DISMAL SWAMP is ON FIRE
Four Hundred Square Miles of
Flame Caused by the
Drouth.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 20.-The Great Dis
trict Swamp of Virginia and North Car
DINA, covering an area Of perhaps 400
square miles, is afire from n end to
the other, the result Of an unprecedent-
ed drouth and excessively hot weather.
No n inhabits the swamp but wild
animals. therefore no attempt was made
to check the flames. Bear, wild cats,
deer and reptiles fled before the flames
and their cries as they were cremated
filed the hearts of railroad passengers
with terror.
The smoke was SO dense that the crew
and passengers on an incoming train
last night were nearly stifed. Columns
of flame from thirty TO fifty feet in
height extended for miles.
When the great swamps get afire.
which is about once in every seven
years. the fire generally burns Itself out.
Forest fires are also raging in ad-
joining counties, and unless rain comes
soon crops will be burned up. the loss

result in the death Of many rural inhab-
