EXTRAORDINARY
Surgical Triumph In Tendon Grating
and IL one Setting.

and Bone Setting.
Two notable surgical operations
the first successful ones of their kind
in a New York hospital-were per-
formed at the Hospital for Cripples at
Forty-Second street and Lexington
avenue. BY one Virginia girl, Ia
years old, who has been paralyzed for
eleven years, will regain the use of her
limbs through tendon grating. In the
other patients thigh bone, dislocated
at birth, was taken from its original
socket and placed fully two inches to
one side In socket or acetabullum
made for the purpose. DR.. Royal Whit

operated. Matte Mayhem, the para
lytic, lost the use of both feet from
infantile paralysis in her third year.
DR.. Whitman first ascertained what
tendons were degenerate and then
made an incision In the thigh and en-
grated small parts of healthy tendons
where the degenerate parts had been
cut away. When the operation was
finished the feet were placed in plaster
casts. The doctors say the child will
have the full use of her limbs in two
months. The operation Is Of French
origin, and yet even in France sur
geons have not yet attempted to per-
form the operation on any but very
young children. The other operation
was what Is called the Lorenz opera
ton, from DR.. Lorenz, a Frenchman.
Rosa Denizetti, years old, Of Italian
parentage, was the patient. An incl
sion was made in her hip and the ball
and socket joint laid bare. The thigh
bone was removed from its socket and
another socket was cut in the pelvis
bone two inches from the one which
had caused the dislocation. Then the
thigh bone was placed In the new
socket, the incision was sewed up and
the hip placed in a plaster cast. In
two months the patient will be able to
walk.-New York World.

Surgery has successfully achieved
the feat of restoring lost memory and
speech. A blow on the skull from a
falling piece of timber rendered Eu-

Not such Poor Land After All.

Although the experimental station
of the Agricultural college, which was
located in Crawford county near Gray
ling, was abandoned because of the
alleged unfruitfulness of the soil, the
farmers who have settled on the So
called pine barrens In that section
have no complaint to make. Farmers
living within a radius of four miles of
the abandoned experimental station
have this year purchased 10 mowers,
one reaper, eight binders and IL farm

FORCED TO CHEER.
Lesson Given Defiant Spaniards by
American Tars-HavanH Har-
Dor the Scene.

New York, Jan. PA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says that Capt.
Eaton, of the auxiliary cruiser Reso-
Lutte, captured a 2O-foot Spanish flag in
the harbor and incidentally taught 80
Spaniards a lesson in manners.
\ Spanish schooner of about 70 tons
sailed alongside the Resolute, where it
hove to and with a cheer of defiance
from the men aboard an immense
Spanish flag was run up to the mast
head, with the Cuban flag beneath it,
Capt Eaton was forced to recognize
the insult and ordered Naval Cadet Tar
rant and Marine Officer Thorpe, with a
file of marines, into a steam launch
which speedily overlook the Spaniard.
The captain refused TO obey the order
to lower the flag, whereupon the ma
rines went aboard and took forcible
possession of the Spanish flag, leaving
the Cuban flag flying at the masthead.
The occupants of the schooner were
then compelled to give three cheers for
the Cuban and American flags, after
which the vessel was allowed to pro-
coed The captured flag will be held as
a prize.

Sunday Trading.

A German shopkeeper went one sun
day morning to a customer in order to
demand the payment of long-neg-
lected account. The police heard of
this, and regarded it as violation of
the new law against trading during the
hours of worship. The offender was
cited and fined. He appealed to the
kammergericht, and was discharged as
innocent. What the law expressly for
bids, said the kammergericht, is any
public or open labor or trading with
in the prescribed time" On the police
Interpretation, two men who talked in
cidentaIly about their business rela-
tions on Sunday morning on their way
to church might be arrested as violators
of the law, which would be palpab bly,
tyrannical and absurd. This recalls
the good old tale of two Sabbataran
farmers who hit upon a casuistical
method of doing trade on the Lord
day without breaking the fourth com

The great east room was magnificent
in its simplicity, 10 over-adorn that
spleudidly spacious apartment would
have married its grandeur. Under the
direction of Mrs. Mckinley the floral
decorations were meager, occupying
little space. and leaving ample room
for the throngs which were to come and
fiji it almost to sutfocation. In the
east room and south windows palms
were massed from floor to ceiling, and
on the mantels were numerous grow
ing plants; among them most COR
spicuously blooming were thousands
of white primroses. In the blue room,
where the presidential receiving party
stood. there were palms intermingled
with ferns, and glowing American
Beauties, scarlet pionsettes, white
blossoms, red and purple flowers Of

others with empty sleeves; the sons
of veterans; the half-dozen survivors of
the Mexican war, and the plain private

SHY OF WINDSTORMS.
Tactics That Sea Birds IndustriOusIy
Pursue to Escape Impend-
ing Danger.

The power of the winds is dreaded by
almost all ordinary birds, and an in
stinctive knowledge seems to be pos
sessed by them that if they once sur
render to the force of the winds I'M
| known dangers will have to be faced
| Consequently, when a high storm pre-
walls all birds seek shelter of some
kind. The strong winged sea birds are
the last to take fright at the approach
ing hurricane, but even they will final
| " try to escape its fury beneath the
shelter of some cliff or sand dune
| During tremendous windstorms birds
may sometimes be seen flying overhead
at great altitude. When this phe-
nomenon is observed it may be taken
| for granted that the upper atmos-
| phere is paratiyely quiet, and that
the disturbance is confined chiefly to
the lower regions. Many sea birds seek
the upper air of common quietness dur
| ing tropical hurricanes.
When heavy wind or gale springs
up the gulls, terms and petrels will fly
back and forth over the waters sur
face, rising and falling, and uttering
their peculiar cries of warning. If the
storm extends too high up they will
drift gradually with the wind or fly
away to the edge of the hurricane.
Very often they get caught unexpect-
eddy in the gales of wind, and they
find themselves in a dangerous posi-
ton. Then they struggle with might
and main against the powers of the air
currents. knowing that danger and
death face them if they once come I'M
der the dominion of the wind, they
use all the strength and tactics they
are capable of to combat the elements.
A young herring gull, petrol or tern
thus surprised will beat up against the
wind with powerful fight. 1t will rise
high in the air, facing the gale, and
making IA little progress forwards as
we'll as upward Then it will suddenly
descend with rapid flight toward one
side of the stormswept path, but fall
ing off at the same time in the direc-
ton of the blowing wind. Once more
it will sweep around and face the
storm, ascending heavenward, and
striking desperately out toward the di-
rection of the storm. By pursuing
these tactics the bird will gradually
work itself to one side of the storm
center.-Boston Transcript.
