POSTAL FACILITIES IN 1900.
A business Letters slow Stages a.
Century Ago.

A business Letters Slow Stages a.
Century Ago.
In 1900 not only was the field OF busi-
ness enterprise restricted, but the trans-
action Of business within that field was
slow and difficult, says the Atlantic.
The merchant kept his own books, or
as we would have said. his own nc.
counts; wrote all his letters with a.
quill and when they were written let
the ink dry by sprinkling IL with sand.
There were then no envelopes, no post
age stamps, no letter boxes in the
streets, no collection of the mail. The
letter written, the paper was carefully
folded, sealed with wax or wafer, adj
dressed and carried to the post office,
where postage was prepaid at rates
which would now seem extortionate.
To send a letter which was single
sheet Of paper, large OF small, from Bos-
ton TO New York or Philadelphia cost
1917 and to Washington 25 cents; and
this when the purchasing power Of a
cent was five times whatit is at present.
To carry letter from philadelphia.
then the capital OF the United States,
to Boston and bring back an answer by
return mail would have consumed from
12 to is days. according to the season of
the year and weather.

nIeItlnr In I,IcctrIrIir.

Prof. Elihu Thompson, an eminent
authority on electric Woodworking,
believes that there is no doubt whatever
of the possibility of melting through
masses or iron and steel OF even cons
siderable thickness. provided there is
time enough to do it and sufficient cur
rent is available; but he thinks the
paraphernalia which the burglar
would have to carry along and have at
mis- disposal for the attempted work
would be a sufficient discouragement in
itself, while the time required and the
risk Of discovery would be so great as
TO remove the operation from among
the possibilities.

FELT eY RABBIT NERVE.
Lifeiess Arm Restored by Graft from
Freshly Killed Animal.

Lffeiess Arm Restored by Graft from
Freshly Killed Animal.
To have the sense of touch and power
of action restored in the lower half of
a lifeless arm is the experience recently
bestowed on an English gardener. The.
case IS noted in the British Medical
Journal and has attracted widespread
attention in Europe. The upper and
inner half of the right arm was severed
with scythe. The artery was ligated
and the two ends of the divided nerve
sutured.
In the absence of more suitable tissue
the spinal cord of a rabbit just killed
was used as a graft to connect the ends
OF the median nerve, the inserted cord
Tying loose and quite free from tension
when finally placed in position. Fine
catgut suturcs were used throughout.
Eleven days after the operation the pa
tient could feel the scratch Of pin on
the fexor aspect OF the first phalanx of
the thumb, as well as at the root Of the
index finger. lie could tell when the
hairs on the back of the first phalanges
Of the ring and little fingers were
touched, but could not feel the scratch
of pin in that situation. Seven days
later sensation had returned over the
whole Of the palmar surface OF the
thumb and the pro1imate phalanS Of
the index finger
After an interval OF 16 days sensation
seemed to be creeping slowly along the
first finger and TO be present over the
whole of the palmar area supplied by
the median nerve and extending down
as far as the web of the fingers and q
short distance along the middle finger
The muscles presented evidences oi
gradual development and the general
nutrition of the hand improved, and
soon the hand was "as good as new"

DIFFERENT TYPES OF JEWS.
The Israeiitish Race Is Divided Into
Two Parts.

The Israeiitish Race IL Divided Into
Two Parts.
We continually hear of the Israelitish
race. IL is spoken Of as the most homo
geneous OF races, and the most refrac-
tory, says the Monist. But il is strong
" diverse. Anthropologists are accus-
toned to divide it into two parts well
distinguished-th dolichocephalic and
the brachycephalic To the first type
belong the Sephardim Jews, the Span
ish and the Portuguese Jews, even the
larger part of the Jews of Italy and
southern France To the second belong
