NEW USE OF THE KANGAROO.
The TeDdOns OF His Tail Serving an
Importnnt PurpOse In surgery.

Surgeons of Oakland, on the bay OPP
posite 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 painter, and this is the second
time he has broken bone of his left
leg in the same place. TO reset the
fracture and place the limb in a 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 first
setting. WeNave decided to make ar
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
dCns, 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 ben:
each day while the bone is knitting.
Kangaroo tendon is as strong as sill
yer wire. It is taken from the tail of
the kangaroo, and being animal III
its nature, it is absorbed, and the leg
does not have to be again cut open,
as Is necessary when silver wire is
used"

FRESHMAN GETS A LESSON.
Bryn sIawr Girls Teach n SpOrtive
Huryarl Youth Manners,

y Chicago young man in Cambridge
found recently that lie could not make
fun of the women's colleges with i'm
punity. In his letters to his sister, re-
ports the Chronicle of that city, he had
spoken of her college as an incubator
several times and said he wondered
when the chicks would hatch and if
they would take a postgraduate in Il
brooder. His sister didn't care much
for that sort of thing from a brother,
who was only freshman himself, albeit
a Harvard freshman. nor did the other
Rryn Mawr girls, to whom she repeated
his remarks.
On the day of the receipt of a letter
from him saving he was coming down
TO inspect the apparatus" the mem
bers of his sisters class held a meeting
in her room. On his arrival, two days
later, he was ushered with some cere-
mony into the reception-room.
After waiting 20 minutes a girl came
in hurriedly, looked fairly at him and
said OH" Then she left abruptly. In
five minutes a second girl rushed in,
saying oh" turned round and walked
out. Five minutes later third girl did
likewise. and in another five minutes it
happened again. This continued for
Just one hour. when all of the 90 girls
that had said oh" together with
about as many more, all strangers,
came in in body, said oh" and filed
out.
Then the freshman's sister came in,
by which time the youth was ready to
collapse. and asked him how he liked
the chicks, and ii he didn't think they
conld peep prettiiy, after which she in
vited him to a spread in her room with
the chicks, where they demonstrated
they could pick up crumbs rs well as

She Defeated Them.

The Oil City (Pa.) Derrick tells of 4
party of boys of about II years of age
who were teasing a girl of about the
same age who was hauling her little
sister on handsled. The girl evidently
had temper, and also self-reliance.
Singing out the largest boy in the lot,
she sailed into him like an Infatuated
tomcat and had him thoroughly
whipped, and was chasing him up the
railroad track before the surprised
spectators recovered presence Of mind
enough 10 part the combatants. The
other boys viewed the fate of their late
companion with CONSERVATION, and
when the girl returned and resumed
possession of the sled there was not one
in the crowd with courage enough to re-
sumo the teasing operations.

BOOK BUYERS.
Errors They Sometimes Make Are
Quite Amusing.

During the recent book sale in this
city, says the Chicago Chronicle, there
were many calls for Henryx Sienkie-
VICES Quo Vadis." One girl appeared
with a card bearing this: "Qwadiz," by
"Stinkwitz." Another reader asked for
Two Waaers," by "Sinkers," while
third demanded THAT book by the man
whose name ends in itch"
while the sale was going on a wom-
an asked a cash girl:
Can you find David Copperfeld?'
I'll see" said the girl, and disap-
peared. She presently returned and
said:
No, mum. He don't work here no
more"
Another customer at the sale was a
woman who drove up in her carriage.
She explained to the clerk that she had
just moved into her own house.
The library" she said, us one by
twenty and the shelves run around the
whole shootin' match" She looked at
the stock of books and sweeping her
hand over a lot of shelving containing
about $500 volumes, she said Send
those books up" As the assortment
contained broken sets, odd volumes,
duplicates and paper covered novels,
her library" will be q motley collec-
Gon.

PIN HOLES IN THE CHECKS.
Only One of the Cashiers Precautions
Overlooked by the Forger.

ohIy oEe the IaShlcFS Precautions
Overlooked by the Forger.
In the course of lecture delivered
recently on chemical tests used in dis
covering by the ink the age of docu-
mentS, and whether there have been in
Temptations. Prof. c. A. Doremus told
of a curious discovery in the case of q
raised check, made by his father, who
is an expert in chemistry and in docu-
mentS. The interests involved in this
case, says the New York Sun, We're
very large, and it was not practicable
that the original check should be tam
pered with or chemically treated. For
purposes of testimony an enlarged pho
tograph of the check was taken by Dr.
Doremus, who was called az an expert
in the case. The first trial resulted in
no decision, and on the second trial
what purported to be the original check
was produced. 1t was handed to the
cashier of the bank for Identification
He examined it and said:
This is not the origin7' check"
How do you know that?" demanded
the amazed lawyer.
because IN the heading or the orig
inal check pricked hole in the center
Of each of the 'o's' with PIN" was the
reply. This check has not those
holes"
In all other respects the check
seemed to be identical. The court
called for DR.. Doremus' photograph to
be produced. 1t plainly showed the pin
holes. Upon this the lawyer for the de-
Tense threw up his case, and the guilty
substitutor of the false check fled the
country.

JUNGLE" HlRAM'S ODD MISTAKE.
How Commissioner Jones Affixed a
Church Seal to City Documents.

The death Of Hiram J. 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 "Unc,e" 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
CT the Epiphany, and the church bust
ness he transacted at the office of com
missioner of public works.
One day an exceedingly large number
of contracts. requiring the signature of
the commissioner and the seal of the de
partment, were placed on his desk.
At night when the batch of several
hundred city documents was turned
over to the assistant commissioner it
was found that each bore a beautiful
imprint Of the seal of the Church Of the
FDiDhanv

An Intricate Question.

Officialdom in Germany has been
compelled by a bicyclist to give deep
thought to the question: when two
streets intersect, in which street is the
point of intersection? At Rreslau BIZ
cycles are forbidden on certain streets
y rider going along a street where they
are allowed, followed it across a pro-
hibited street and was arrested in the
middle Of the road. He asserted that
he was in one street, the policeman that
he was in the other, the lower court
that he was in neither and should not be
fined, and the upper court tina, he was
in both, therefore on the forbidden
street, and must pay IS cents.

New YORK, March 10.-A dispatch
to the Press from Ottawa says: Sir
Julian Pauncefote. the British am
bassador, has informed the Canadian
ministry officially that he has arrang
ed a convention with the United
States, whereby the Alaskan boundary
question has been settled.
Under the terms of the convention
the British government has conceded
the claim of the United States, that
the three marine leagues should be
measured from the shore of the main
land, and should proceed along the
shore of the mainland, and should
proceed along the shores of the inlets,
which are thus recognized as arms of
the ocean and not as rivers.
