BOYS JUGULAR REMOVED.
Fart OF This Great Vein Cut Out in q
Most Remarkable Surgical
Operation.

A surgical operation which has at
tracted a great deal of attention in med
ical circles, and from which only three
people have ever recovered, was per-
formed few days ago at the New York
eye and ear infrmary, and the pa
tents recovery is thought to be GER
tain. William Jennings, 10 years old,
of Greenport, L. l., is the patient. 1t
was found necessary to remove por-
tion of the left jugular vein. The op-
Grafton was performed by DR.. Gorham
Bacon, with 12 physicians in attend
ance. The jugular vein was severed
just above the collar bone, and then cut
from the upper part of the head and
the ends knotted, the portion taken out
being several inches long. At this point
the patient passed through the most
critical period. He was not under the
influence of drug, but lost all con-
seriousness. Twice his pulse disap-
peared entirely. The best methods
known to medical science to induce
respiration were employed, with the
result that he was brought back to
consciousness.

OIL TRADE FALLING OFF.
Great Decrease I'm the Export of OIL
from PhiladeIphia-Caus-
ing Alarm.

The exports from Philadelphia of
petroleum to foreign ports for the first
three months of this year shows fall
ing off of 22,OOo,oOO gallons in the ship
ments for corresponding period of
last year. This fact, coupled with the
shipments for 1898, which showed a
falling off of over 100000 compared
with 1897, has caused some alarm In
shipping circles, and expression is
given to the belief that Bornean oil
Is being brought into direct competi-
ton in the far east with the products Of
the domestic market. The statement is
made among oil men that until 1898,
when the Bornean oil fields were ex-
tensively developed, the export trade Of
Philadelphia for over quarter of a
century showed rapid gains. Com
ment is also made upon the fact that a
large number of tank steamers have
been withdrawn from this port and en-
tered into the Bornean trade.

TO RAISE POTATOES.
White House Grounds to Be Plowed
and Planted.
Beauties of the Country TO he Placed
Right mt Presidenrs Door
Effort Ia to Enrich
Grass Plat.

Midsummer visitors next year will
witness the novel sight of corn and po-
tatoes growing in the grounds imme-
diately in front of the executive man
sion. The president will not need to
leave his official home to seek the beau
ties of the country, for the country is
to be brought to him. He may stand
upon the front portico of the white
house, view a field of waving corn and
revel in the sweet music of the winds
blowing through the stalks. 1t will
carry him back to the scenes of his
youth and the Trumbull county farm to
gaze upon the growing corn and pota-
toes.
The plat In front of the presidential
home Is not to be converted into a truck
garden solely to give rurahstic appear
ance, however, nor is it in emulation of
Gov. Pingree's scheme to utilize public
grounds for the cultivation of tubers
for the benefit of the poor. The agri-
culturists who have made the public
grounds a study have failed so far to
devise means by which a beautiful
green sward may be successfully culti-
waited, and have conceived the idea that
grass can only be successfully grown
by adopting heroic measures. They say
the soil must be restored to it's virgin
condition. Those properties of which
1t has been robbed by being kept "too
long to grass" can only be restored by
planting corn and potatoes. Garlic and
dandelions have taken almost complete
possession of the lawn, and it is large
lyto getrido of these OBJ Objectionable plants
that the ground is to be plowed and
seeded.
When the plowman invades the pre-
cincts of the presidential home and be-
gins turning over the sod passers-by
will doubtless stare at him in amaze
ment, but when the corn and potato
plants peep through the ground his
wonder will grow to bewilderment. The
sedate senators and members of the
house will also be treated to surprise,
for it is proposed to give the lawn just
porth Of the capitol similar treatment;
but when the constituents of the con-
gressmen from the back counties call
upon them they will have no trouble
In making them feel perfectly at home.
They will only need to take them for
stroll through the capitol grounds and
talk crop prospects with them.

NOVEL SIGN OF RECOGNITION.

Gov. Stanley, of Kansas, is the origi-
nator of an appropriate sign Of recogni-
ton by members of the Twentieth Kan

Gov. Stanley declared that this sign
of recognition should be the elevation
of the right hand, with two fingers
straight and the thumb and other fin.

''Every schoolboy who has attended
school in the country districts during
the summer months will know what

SPANISH AMERICAN REvoLTS.
HeVoIutionists Keep Alive Their
Struggles, Using Nedghboring
Countries as Their Base.

The most frequent cause of troubles
between the Spanish-American repub-
lies lies in the fact that, generally, revo-
lutionary movements In any one of
them have some affiliation with and sup
port OF people living in the neighbor-
ing state. For instance, the political
exiles from Guatemala go to live in Hon
cduras or Salvador, where they concoct
any kind Of plan to further their re-
turn to their country, prepare ways to
invade IT and overthrow the actual gov.
ernment. In South America the Ecua-
dorian rebels are, as usual, drawing
arms, recruits and ammunition from
Colombia. Whenever rebellion breaks
out in Colombia it succeeds or fails, ac-
cording to the means of vitality fur
nished to it from Ecuador. The diplo-
macy of Spanish-American countries,
therefore, is often employed in negoti-
ating to prevent or to have furnished
any assembling of political refugees
along the frontier of neigboring state.
This is the object of the mission in
trusted at the beginning of last March
by the. government of Ecuador to Senior
Luis +. Cerbo. He was sent to Bogota
with instructions to urge the Colom-
bian authorities to adopt more serious
and efficacious measures than those
taken before In order to stop all kinds
OF assistance In the way of recruiting
or buying ammunition and provisions,
given to the revolutionists of Ecuador
by their friends, the clerical and reac-
tionary leaders who had taken refuge
IN Colombia, whose neutrality they con-
stantiy violate.--N. Y. Tribup1

HE LOST ALL.
on Whom He Dotted, the Lovely
Birdy Jones.

1t was the first perfect day of the glad
springtime. The warm sun frightened
the country landscape, and the odor of
opening apple blossoms came upon the
laden atmosphere. The lazy clouds
hoated dreamily in the sky overhead,
chiefly because they could not go afoot
nor on the trolley cars. The rural roads
were smooth under the hammer Of in
Vulnerable wheels, and Clarence Wheel
er had stolen Birdy Jones from her
naughty Soho home for ramble on his
'97 tandem among the highways of the
townships. Stopping from their run,
they rested beneath a great oak tree
which overhung a wayside spring.
.Cowbells tinkled In the woodlot below
the meadow, and little lambs with wab-
bly, legs three sizes too big for them
gamboled on the short green grass. On
broad, fiat stone that looked down
upon the crystal water Birdy spread the
lunch they had carried in the tandem
box, and Clarence brought water in a
romantic tin can that he had found
hard by.
The soft winds toyed with the girls
bleached tresses, which streamed over
her face like photogravure picture of
the west wind to illustrate Longfellow's
poems. Her cheeks flushed with the
vigor of exercise and robust health, and
when the young man approached her
from the spring his whole thought was
centered upon the winsome beauty of
the divine creature. He sat down by her
side. His soul drank in the charm of the
picture. She looked up from the can
of embalmed beef that shewas opening,
with smile of confident approval on
her young face. Suddenly her eye
kindled and the rosy flush OF young
womanhood gave way to ghastly pal
lor. Her lip curled in scorn. Her clas-
sic head was lifted in anger. "Merciful
heaven!" shrieked the young man.
"Tell me, dearest girl, what is the mat
ter?"
But she stepped back, and, striking
the attitude that she had learned at the
Soho Amateur Dramatic club, she point
ed her finger at him and said in tones
that would wither load of hay; "Allis
lost, Clarence Wheeler. You are sitting
In the piel"--Pittsburgh Times.

The Legend of Eve.

Allusions to Eden in the Old Testa.
ment literature are extremely scarce.
and the story of Ewes temptation first
assumes prominence in the writings OF
st. Paul. The marks of Zoroastrian
thought in it have often been pointed
out. This garden of Eden is a true Per-
sian paradise, situated somewhere In
that remote wonderland of Aryana
Vaejo to which all Iranian tradition Ia
80 fond of pointing back. The willy ser,
pent is a genuine Parsee serpent, and
the spirit which animates him is that ot
the malicious and tricksome Ahriman
who takes delight in going about after
the good creator Ormuzd and spoilina
his handiwork. He is not yet identified
with the terrible Satan, the accusing
angel who finds out mems evil thoughts
and deeds. He is simply a mischief.
maker, and the punishment meted out
to him for his mischief reminds one OF
many curious passage IN the beast
epochs of primitive peoples. AS in the
stories which tell why the mole Is blind
or why the fox has bushy tail, the ser
pent's conduct Is made to account fol-
some Of his peculiar attributes. AS 9
punishment he is made to crawl upor
his belly, and be forever an object OF
especial dread and loathing to all tn,
