Mr.. Wamburton is in New York to

a po,NTress SPOON.


IAshasn Cries ''Cheskmste" % the Ma
who Uses One Head ON.
Destiny is shaping the end OF the man
who for years has been breaking hearts
BY his efforts to fetch the point OF his
soup spoon head ON between the wings
Of his mustache he may refuse to
be shaped, of course, and may con-
tinue to dislocate his shoulder at each
mouthful and to wreck frill OF his
neighbor's sleeve at each hosting OF his
elbow, but he cannot longer in fashion

into his mouth.
And the reason is like tina, which the
little boy gave for refusing to give the
core of his apple. There wasn't going
to be- any oore." and there isn't any
point to the new soup spoon. A round
spoon. not 30 very unlike q miniature
ladle in its shape as to entirely escape
calumny, has been eagerly adopted by
those who like up to date services and
is now being bought at the rate Of thou
sands week by those who follow fash
ion.
To make rather aesthetic companion
for the new soup spoon, that it may not

speak. there is positively new pastry
fork.
A "pie fork" they would probably
call this in the land where Ralph Waldo
Emerson, favorite son, is reverenced
for having opce answered a man who
asked him if he really ate pie at break
fast, ''But, my dear sir. what is pie
for?''
A pastry fork" it is called. But by
even more euphemistic name yet. it
would be an interesting invention and
a high novelty. The wavy edge, which
has made certain sort of bread knife
famous, has been applied to the pastry
fork, together with curving shape.
which makes it possible for even nerv-
ous man to keep the tip Of the fork on
his plate and saw through an obstinate
bit of puff paste. To be spared the old
familiar agony Of seeing the soft and
melting heart of his ''sweetie" 60 sail

A Cent q Child Had Swallowed Located

A Roentgen ray surgical operation
was performed by DR.. F. w. thinner of
Rochester, N. Y, which will be Of great
interest to surgeons. A child % months
old swallowed cent recently. With q
radiograph the cent was approximately
located in the esophagus. A prolonged
attempt was then made by ordinary
means to extract the coin, but without
success.
It was finally determined to use the
horoscope during the operation, the
observer directing the movements from
his observation Of the coin and metal
instruments as they appeared on the
Horoscope screen. Thin boards were
plAced across two boxes. and the patient
was placed under the Crookes tube.
The observer placed himself beneath,
and with the use Of the new metallic
screen Of inch mesh definitely located
the coin. The tube was then placed un-
der the patient, and DR.. thinner pro-
oeeded to grasp the coin, under the direc-
tion Of the observer.
It was highly successful, the coin be-
ing removed after slipping once or twice
from the forceps. The patient was un-
der the influence Of ether. aud the OBJ
server saw every movement of the for
oeps. The patient is now considered out
Of danger. New York Sun.
