JUNGLE" HIRAM's ODD MISTAKE.

How Commissioner Jone. Amxed .
Church Seal to City Documents.
The death of Hiram ]. Jones. Uncle
Hiram. as he was called in the city hall,
where he was an official for so many
years. recalls one of the most curious
proceedings of his official career, and
one which, at the time, created no end
of merriment, says the Chicago Times
Herald
During the last administration of the
elder Carter II. Harrison Uncle" Hiram
was commissioner of public works. and
one of his most irksome duties was the
signing of thousands of contracts for
the performance of work or the supply
ing of that vast variety Of material
which is used by the city on its streets
and in its numerous shops and machine
plants Uncle" Hiram used to do this
work and attend to callers at the same
time. for an assistant had carefully
gone over each contract before it was
handed to the chief. and there was no
need of careful inspection by him. Mr.
Jones was also treasurer of the Church
of the Epiphany, and the church bust
ness he transacted al the office of com
missioner of public works.
One day an exceedir gly large number
of contracts requiring the signature of
the commissioner and the seal of the de-
partmeut. were placed on his desk.
AT night when the batch of several
hundred city documents was turned
over to the assistant commissioner II
was found that each bore beautiful
imprint of the seal Of the Church of the
Epiphany

The most remarkable thing about Mrs

is that she is alive to-day.
No one, perhaps, Is more surprised at
this than Mrs Lord hsrssH. She looS tsck
at the day when she stood on the verge Of
death and shudders- She looks ahead at a
life of happiness with her CHILDREN, her hts
band and her home with joy that caiY a
mother can realize.
MIS-. Lord Is the mother Of three children,
two Of whom are twins; until the twins
came nothing n,arred the JOY Of her lie.
Then she was attacked with heart failure
and for year was unable to attend to the
primary duties Of the home. In describing
her own experience Mrs. Lord says:
II had heart failure SO bad ! was often
thought to be dead.
With this had neuralgia Of the sto1r-

morphine to deaden the pain.

NEW USE OF THE KANGAROO.
The Tendon. of HI. Tail Serving an
Important Purpose In surRer1.

Surgeons of Oakland, on the bay op-
posiie San Francisco. have resorted to
the use of Kangaroo tendons TO tie up
the fractured bones of broken leg.
in order that the patient may have
use of his knee. while the bones are
knitting together, says an exchange.
He is a painter. and this is the second
time he has broken bone OF bis left
leg in the same place To reset the
fracture and place the limb in plas-
Ter cast until the bone knits would de-
stroy the use of the knee joint said
Dr.. Stratton- The knee had already
become somewhat stiff from the tirsf
setting. We have decided to make al
incision in the leg At the point of the
fracture of the bone and will bore
holes in the broken bones. Through
the holes we will draw kangaroo ten
duus, and they will hold the bones
together until they knit, without the
use of a plaster cast about the knee
This will enable the knee to be beet
each day while the bone is knitting.
Kangaroo tendon is as strong as sill

the kangaroo, and being animal in
its nature, it is absorbed, and the leg
does not have to be again cut open.

A Suggestion.

Rtlitor Inteliigencer: suggest to tho
incoming City Council, just elected for
the next two years, to have the City tii-
v.ded into suitable wards before the cleo
tion two yeara hence, and to procure the
necessary legislation for the division of
the city into wards, and for the election
OF an Alderman frcm each ward. Two
OF the Aldermen. just elected, reside on
adjoining lots, ano third almost within
n stone throw. In any subdivision into
wards that would be made they would
probably fall in the same ward. This is
not their fault, but the fault Of the sys-
eem under which they have been elected.
They are all good men, and would not
be understood as making any objection
TO them. My only purpose is to call at
tention TO the fact as an object lesson at q
niotpal elections. Perhaps this Ia the
only city Of It's size in the State where the
city is not divided into wards and rep
resentatiOn by wards provided for on the
Council. 1t is the very essence Of local
government which our municipalities
are designed to secure and fulfill. It
would certainly tond to secure more
equal application OF the police reeula-
tiOnB In matters of health, repair of the
streets. sidewalks, &c, because each
member OF the Council il apt to know
what is needed in his own ward, while
he may be wholly ignorant Of the needs
Of other portions OF the city. 1t would
tend, too, to increase the sense Of respou-
eibility of each Alderman, as the special
representative Of his own particular
ward, and in this way the wants of every
looked after, and the good Of tho whole
be thereby promoted. Itwould certainly
be juster mode Of representation.
