John Gordon, 80 years of age, found
by the light of the X-ray that he was
recovering the use of a fractured leg,
the bone in which had been sewn to-
gether with silver threads. This man
owes the saving of his limb to one Of
the most remarkable surgical opera
tiOns of the age, performed by Profes-
sor Reginald Sayre, the eminent spe
cialist, at Bellevue hospital.
Gordon sustained compound frac-
ture of the femur, the largest bone in
the leg and the longest in the entire
body. 1t was the result of a bad fall.
Amputation seemed imperative. but he
pleaded against the loss of limb, and
his sister had him removed from his
home to Bellevue hospital.
There DR.. Sayre and DR.. A. W. Will
Iams decided upon a daring operation,
uniting the bone and tying 1t In place
with the silver films. The greatest fear
was that blood poisoning might result.
Gordon began to improve at once, how
ever, and for a month past has been
able to walk about with only the as
sistance of a cane.
In order to ascertain whether the ex-
perimeutal operation was a success OF
not DR.. Sayre and DR.. Williams had
Gordon removed in carriage to the
studio of Professor Martin, where the
limb was observed in the glare of the
X-ray The fractured bone was found
to be knitting together and fast heal
ing. The silver strands were still IL
place and those he Will have with him

Under the tide Of "Some Reminis.

Most Irritating to the former is a pro-
rincial habit Of turning heads zen

tain who is coming in. DR.. Wilson tells
a story Of a lecturer who, when any

usual clumsy fashion. was in the habit
Of stopping short and watching the in
truder to his seat, generally with the
effect of making him look sheepish and
disconnected. 1t happened. however,
one day, while he was lecturing in a
provincial town. that he was interrupt
ed by gentleman coming in late with
a particularly irritating pair of creak
ing boots. The lecturer stopped, &C
cording to his custom, and stared a,
the intruder. who seemed to be not in
the least conscious that all eyes were
upon him. At length. getting out Of pa

An article on French Wives and
Mothers" written by Miss Anna L.
Bicknell, and Illustrated by Boutet de

author says: The pot-au-feu, or meat
soup, IS in fact a festive meal; more
often the mother has made soup with
dry crusts soaked In the water which
has boiled vegetables, and the addition
of pea-pods or some such delicacy. If
they live near the Halles Centrales, or
principal markets, the mother goes
there late IN the afternoon and looks
out for articles of food which would
not bear a days delay. and pounces up
on these because they are sold at any
price. In the case Of old bachelors or
widowers, lone and lorn," who are not
SO expert at bargaining, there Is the
characteristic resource of what are
called les bijoux, namely, the remnants
sold by cooks of large establishments
and by frst-class restaurants. These
are collected from door to door, and
tumbled together In no very appetizing
fashion; but the retailer sorts and ar
ranges the various articles, which are
then properly adorned (pares), scraped,
and cut into neat pieces, nicely garnish.
