A Hum mingbird's Umbrella.

In front of n window where l worked
was a butternut tree. A humming- bird
built her nest on limb that grew near
the window, says writer in the Ameri-
can Sportsman, and we had an Op-
portuDity to watch her closely. In fact,
we could look right into the nest. One
day when there was a heavy shower
coming up we thought we would see If
she covered her young during the rain.
Well, when the first drops fell she came
and took in her bill one of two or three
large leaves growing close by, and laid
this leaf over the nest so as to COM
pletely cover it; then she flew away. On
examining the leaf, we found hole in
1t, and in the side of the nest was a
small stick that the leaf was fastened
to or hooked upon. After the storm
was over, the old bird came back and
unlocked the leaf, and the nest was

LIFE SAVED BY SURGERY.
Remarkable Operation Performed for Os-
teoSdrcomd.

Remarkable Operation Performed for Os-
teosarcoma.
After an operation resulting in the loss
of his left arm, shoulder blade, collar
hone and portion of his ribs, Alfred
Taylor is able to perform the duties of
orderly in the Pennsylvania Hospital at
Philadelphia. From the point of the
jaw to the hip bone, the line of Taylor's
body on the left side is almost straight.
Taylor is a victim of disease of the bone
-osteosarcoma. He was sailor on a
British schooner, and arrived in Phila-
delphia with his arm and side terribly
enlarged, and suffering intense pain. Lit
tie hope was given the man when he pre-
sented himself at the hospital, but the
operation was resorted to as possible
means of saving his life. DIR. Robert
Leconte performed the operation, assist
ed by Drs. Hart and Stewart. Within
week Taylor had improved sufficiently TO
walk about, and his recovery was rapid.
Since then his case has been the subject
of many lectures and he has been exam
ined by hundreds Of medical men. Not
since 1887 has a similar case been re-
corded in the annals Of surgery.

battalions Of infantry during the even
ing to capture San Mateo. where three
hundred insurgents had entrenched
themselves. The press dispatch an
nOuncing Gen. Lawton's death, when re-
ceived in Washington, was sent lmme-
diately to the White House, where the
cabinet meeting was in progress. The
news was received with expressions of
profound sorrow and regret.
At the War Department instructions
had been received Monday from the
President to prepare Gen. Lawton's COM
mission as a brigadier general in the
regular army, to fill one of the existing
vacancies and the adjutant general S
clerks were at work on the commission
when the information of Gen. Lawton's S
death was conveyed to the department.
Gen. Lawton was n native of Indiana
and won his commission in the army by
signal gallantry during the war between
the States and in the Indian wars. 1t
comes only to q great nation that has
been rent with civil war, menaced by
frontier strife with fierce Indians and
burdened with the responsibilities of n
contest like the Spanish war and the
subsequent actions in the tropical Philip
pines, to produce such a typical fighter
as Maj. Gen. Henry w. LawtOn. Per-
sonally leading troops in battle, where
it would appear that no soldier could es-
cape the death-dealing bullet, Gen. Law
ton went through an experience that
would have covered his breast with med
ais had he fought beneath the flag of
an empire. When death came to him it
was as if a personal blow had been dealt
to every loyal American who had read
Of the deeds of the brave man.
Gen. Lawton was one of the born
fighting machines that the United States
army acquired at the outbreak of the re-
belliOn, from private life. Acts of hero
ism marked his honorable career in the
volunteer army that saved the nation,
and, bearing the brevet of colonel for dis
tinguished services i'll action, and proud
in the possession of Il medal of honor for
signal acts of bravery before Atlanta in
1864, Gen. Lawton elected to make war
his profession.
He was made a lieutenant in the reg
ular army, first serving with the Forty
first infantry, but subsequently joining
the cavalry arm OF the service. When
President Mckinley made him a major
general May 4. 1898, he was a lieuten-
ant colonel in the regular army. To
millions the story OF the hero of Ell
Caney" is much fresher and much more
vivid than the work of the intrepid In
dian fighter who chung doggedly to the
trail of that willy chieftain of the mur-
derOus Apaches, Geronimo, until he had
successfully carried out his plan for the
Indians capture.

"BLACK WEEK" LONDON.
Total British Losses Since War Began
Are Now 1890

-
Are Now 1880.
BLACK week." as last week is now uni
versally called in London, has evidently
aroused the British Government and the
war Office to a full sense of their respon-
sibility and of the magnitude of the task
before them. The papers unanimously
applaud this awakening, despite the fact
that they recognize that the heroic meas
ures now decided upon SAVIOR rather of
weakness than of strength. 1t was high
time that something very energetic was
done. The British losses in killed, wound
ed, prisoners and missing throughout the
campaign now reach the enormous total
of 1850.
AS result of the British reverses the
whole South African country northwest
is in rebellion. The natives there, as
well as those in Basutoland, are said to
be much disturbed and losing heart re-
specting the strength of the British.
A dispatch from Rome says that all the
news of the British reverses have been
telegraphed to Abyssinia as far as the
wires go, and then rushed by couriers to
Menelek. 1t is believed Menelek is con-
templating war against Britain and is
only awaiting the opportunity when the
British are weaker.

Moody Is Dead.

Dwight L. Moody, the worldfamous
evangelist, and one of the most remark
able men of the time, passed away at his
home in Northfield, Mass. Mr.. Moody was
revival meetings in Kansas City. 1t was
not supposed by his friends that it was an
attack that would end fatally, but it was
thought that it was a weakness of the
heart brought on by his increasing weight
and the tremendous strain of the meetings.
Mr.. Moody arrived at his home in North
field Nov. l9, and 1t was then that his ILL
ness first assumed an alarming character.
The diagnosis was Bright's disease of the
kidneys and the most careful medical
treatment could not prolong life.

Colonel MilliRan Dead.

Gel. l.. p. Milligan, who more than a
third OF century ago was a national fig
ure, and during the war was one of the
ablest and most prominent of the proseces-
sion leaders in the North, died at his resi-
dence in Huntington, Ind, after an illness
covering period Of three months. Death
resulted from ravages Of old age, Col. Mil
ligan being within three months of eighty
eight years old. Col. Milligan was one Of
the Oldest lawyers In the West, and in his
intellectual prime was man Of pre-emi
nent abilities. 1t was, however, as leader
OF the Knights of the Golden Circle and as
q man condemned to die for treason that
national interest centered about him.
