Two Cases and the Difference in Method
in Operating.

The recent operation performed ir
Toledo whereby u bullet was located il
the brain of a man, by use of the X
Ray, and its subsequent removal by
surgeons, is an evidence of wonderful
advancement in surgery and vastly diff.
ferent from the manner of performing
such operations in the army. In thi,
instance The injured man was placed
under the influence of an anaesthetic
In discussing the case, n number ofgeu'
tlemen compared it with an operation
performed on Perrysburg gentleman
Mr.. James Hayes, who was known as
one of the hravest boys of the old 9th
| o. V. V. l. He was wounded by being
struck with brass plug of a shell, the
piece OF brass striking in his shoulder,
shatteripg the bone and passing into
the left arm and lodging just beneath
the skin, the red hot brass cauterizing
the flesh along its entire course through h
the victims breast, shoulder and arm.
Hayes was lying on the ground, nearly
dead from loss of blood, when Carey
Lindsay, Il comrade, brought the regi-
mental Surgeon TO his aid. The sur
geon said it was only waste of time to
bother with him while there were
others who might be sayed, and walked
away, leaving him to die. Jack Me-
Capghey, Gall the 9th boys know jack
came up and throwing down several
blankets, (he could always find blankets
when afrieud needed theml made Hayes
as comfortable as possible and then went
after a surgeon, the only one he could
find being Il little fellow who was two
thirds drunk, but who went to work to
save the dying soldier. Hayes was too
weak to take an apaesthetic and the sur
geop simply made an incision in the
flesh and seizing the piece of brass with
his forceps eXerted his full strength in
pulling the piece of shell from its place.
Once the forceps slipped off; again he
tried, this time being successful and
bringing with The brass plug large
piece of cauterizsd flesh. The wounded
man endured the eXcruciating pain
without murmur, and strange as it
may seem recovered and is to-day an
honored citizen of our village. There
was considerable difference in the man.

THE CHEMISTRY OF CHARACTER.

THE CHEMISTRY OF CHARACTER
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God in His wisdom created them all.
John was statesman and Peter Il slave,
Robert preacher, and Paul-was Il knave.
Evil or good. MS the case may be,
White or colored, or tond or free
John, and Peter, ard Robert and Paul.
cd in His wisdom created them all.
Out of carths elements, mingled with flame,
Out of lifc't compound of glory and shame,
Fashioned and shaped by no will OF their own
And helplcssly into lies history thrown;
Born by the law that comres men to be.
Born to conditions they could not loresee,
| John. and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God in His wisdom created them all.
! John was the head and heart OF his state,
| Was trusted and honored and great.
feter was made meath life's burdens to groan,
| And never once dreamed that his soul was his
own.
Robert great glory and honor received, .r
For zealously preaching what no one believed,
While Paul OF the pleasures OF sin took his fill
And gave up his life 10 The service ofill.
1t CHANGED that these men, in their passing away
From earth and its conflicts all died the same
day.
John was mourned through the length and
breadth of the land;
Peter fell meath the lash IN merciless hand;
Robert died with the praise of the Lord on his
tongue,
While Paul was convicted of murder and hung.
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
The purpose OF life was fulfilled in them all.
Men said of the statesman, "How noble ant
braveY"
But Peter, alas! she was only slave.'
OF Robert, "'tis well with his soul-it is WE'LL
While Paul they consigned to the torments o
hell.
Born by one law through all nature the same,
What made them differ, and who was to blame
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God in His wisdom created them all.
Out in that region OF infinite light,
Where the soul OF the black man is pure as tn
white,
Out where the spirit, through sorrow made wise
No longer resorts to deception and lies
Out where the flesh can no longer control,
The freedom and faith OF q God-giyen soul
Who can determine what fate may befall
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul?
John may in goodness and wisdon increase;
Peter rejoice in an infinite peace;
Robert may learn that the truths of the Lord
Are more in the spirit and less N the word
And Paul may be blessed with holier birth
Than the passions OF men had allowed him o.
earth.
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God in His wisdom created them all.

Man observes the same attitude
towards the editor as he does towards
his wife. 1t the woman lays an elegant
repast before her liege lord, he bolts it
down and says never u word, but if

Complaint is frequently made that
country editors are not good business
men. This certainly cannot be said of
an eastern editor who offered prize of
$50 for the best written proposal of
marriage by a lady. He selected one
written by rich widow, and answered
with letter of acceptance. When she
refused to marry he sued her for a
breach of promise. That man has
missed his calling. He should have
been IL lawyer.-Ex.

1t is now claimed that one important
reason why Gov. Bushnell has decided
not to be candidate for U. S, Senator
next year, is owing to the injury to his
business interests caused by his atten-
tion being given to politics. The Gov
ernor will probably retire after his sec
ond term of Office as Governor. The
office of Governor of Ohio, is an honor
that pays very poorly.

More than one boy has climbed q
tree thinking that he could knock of
the squirrel when he had cornerec
him at the top where there was no es.

he has reached the very top and sees
the boy coming he will jump for his
life from a tree 30 or 40 feet high to
the ground-landing dead or crippled
Oh, no, he spreads out his legs
and tail, and with a jump slides
through the air like thrown shingle
and alights safely, to scamper joyfulIy
away. And the boy comes down with
his labor for his pains.
There is perpetual battle between
the squirrels and the birds. Nothing
suits a red squirrel better than plump
young robin or sparrow or bluebird for
breakfast, and he will resort to almost
any trick to get the mother bird off its
nest long enough for him to commit
the theft.
The hapless and featherless bird strug.
giles family for few moments, but
it's captor soon puts it beyond suffering
and then eats it with as much relish as
a schoolgirl shows for a pickle or an
olive. These little lunches, however
often are rudely broken in upon by the
wrathful parents of the unhappy bird
lings, and then follows scene which
is worth seeing. The squirrel has need
of all his agility to dodge the blows

outraged birds. Not infrequently sew
eral pairs of birds, and even several spe
cies, unite in the attack on the common
enemy, but after many narrow escapes

may dress his ruffled coat and effect OIL

One of the most elegant mourning
costumes of the season is made of
Priestley silk warp Henrietta cloth.
The skirt, waist and sleeves are plain
and exquisitely fitted. Three Grape
ruffies, with headings, are set on at the
foot of the skirt; the waist has an an.
piled vest of the Grape, with a yoke at
the back. Over the shoulders are deep
ruffies of the Grape graduated to run
Into the darts on either side of the vest
A high collar with Grape ruchs and
Grape ruffies at the wrists complete the
trimming. The bonnet IS made of puffs
of Grape, with crimped fans at either
side. These fans are spread and wired
up in wing fashion.
A novelty waist is of old rose and
green and gray brocade. The body is
modified bolero, pointed over a corse-
let on either side and at the back. The
front is gathered where it is drawn
across the bust. There are enormously
wide revers, with sharp points. These
extend out over the sleeve tops and also
| over the fronts of the sleeves just above
the bust; the sleeves are shirred in full
| puffs at the tops and have fancy cuffs
| of the material, with galloon and loops
| of ribbon.
An exceedingly stylish costume is
made of green velvet. The skirt is
plain, with the exception of large box
| plat at one side of the front. The waist
has fiat plaits from the cellar and shout
der seams to wide corselet. There are
three fiounces on either sleeve between
the shoulders and elbows; the sleeve
founces, plaits and cuffs are edged with
gold gimp.
There is nothing in the way of use
full dresses that the average woman
finds mere profitable than good
cheviot or serge. Made in tailor fash
Ion, skirt and jacket of this fabric
will wear long enough to satisfy the
most eXacting woman in the world.
But to get the very best wear it must
be of the very best quality and made in
the very best manner.
A round hat has puff of velvet en-
tirely covering the low crown. Above
this is futing of chiffon stiffened with
foundation or wire. This projects in a
circle about half as large as the brim of
the hat. A cluster of quill feathers
stands up at one side. Under the brim
Is a plating of chiffon.
A pretty and becoming hat has the
brim almost entirely concealed by puffs
and loops of gauze ribbon. Only por,
ton of the crown is visible. At one
side are clusters of quilts and loops
of ribbon.-N. Y. Ledger.
