THE PRACTICAL LAUNDRY.
II Has Been Established BY Tho City Missionary
SocIeiy, and Is Open For Inspection.

The practical laundry, established by
the Women's Missionary society. and
which is located at No. 100 Cranston
street, is open TO the inspection OF vis-
itors at all hours. the matron, Mrs.
Mason, being ready TO answer all in
quiries. The laundry has been estab-
lished, first because IL furnishes place
where many none can obtain work and
help support themselves in self-re-
specting manner instead OF being a
charge upon the society or their more
fortunate neighbors.
1t will also give TO many Of these wo-
men an oportunity TO rearn, under COM
petent instruction. the proper manner
of doing laundry work, so that they
may be able TO take emplayoment In pri-
vate families whenever chance may
offer. one OF the important features is
that the laundry provides place where
individuals and families may have their
work done entirely by hand under care
ful supervision, without the use OF
chemicals or machinery; where each
wash is done separately and where the
prices are as low as possible for work
done altogether by hand, family wash
ing being taken in at reduced rates.
SO far the laundry has not received
the generous support which Its pur-
pose and work warrant and unless its
patronage is much increased il Will be
forced TO close at the end or its second
year. The promoters hope To receive
sufficient encouragement 10 keep the
laundry in operation.

POPE LEO'S CASE EXPLAINED.
Surgeons Tell What Cyst Means Resort 10
,he Knife Necessary.

Boston, March 6.-Surgeons are at
loss TO speak on the "hematic cyst,
the removal of which has made the
Popes health a matter of immediate
international interest. The word he
matte" has no meaning in English.
Words beginning in "haemo" refer TO
the blood, and il Is conjectured that
some Italian word that might mean
blood cyst has been garbled in transla-
ton Even that would be a rather
blind clew.
A cyst. as was explained yesterday TO
n reporter by DR.. Knight of the city
hospital, is a saclike body, containing
fluid or semi i-fiuid contents. The con-
tents may reach in some kinds a
cheoselike consistency. They are usual
ly "A gland distended by accumulations
that cannot escape normally, on ac-
count of some obstruction. A cyst in
the skin may, for example, begin by
the plugging of pore, the contents or
the dermal cell below slowly accumu-
lating behind the plug. The gland may
originally be of very small size, the
slowness of the accumulation permit
ting the walls to stretch. without break
ing, to considerable dimensions. The
Pope's cyst is said TO have been grow
ing for 80 years, and TO have reached
the size of an orange.
If allowed to go on long enough, there
comes "A time when the size of the cyst
interferes with the circulation, or the
stretching limits of the sac are reached

dangerous operation. In the Pope's
case the patients great age has been
most dwelt upon a difficulty, princi-
pally as affecting the use of anaes-
thetics.
The Italian physicians appear to have
been afraid TO use chloroform or ether,
and TO have relied on rendering only
the parts operated upon insensibe TO

available for this purpose-cocaine, the
application OF ice, sprays of ether or

of the wound and are usually painful
i'm their after effects. particularly the
freezing process, the thawing out be-
ing a decided trial, If extensive areas
are included.
The report that the Pope had an adj

tion. although bearing the operation
with eauanimity. would bear out the
presumption that the cyst was frozen
solid by the surgeons and then cut out,
the thawing afterward being the pain

The battered wreck of the three

she is "a picturesque sight with her
masts gone and minus bowsprit and
headgear While bound for Providence
with a cargo OF lumber the vessel en-
countered the blizzard Of February II
near Vineyard Haven. and finally
grounded in Muskeget sound. The

sci was run down by the storm-driven
schooner Erie and her headgear carried
away. The captain and crew escaped

Capt John a. Ewing the underwrit-
or's agent who came up with the tug,
stated today, that it could not be said
whether the vessel is "a total loss or
not until her bottom has been seen. II

cargo and then viii go on the dry dock.
1he Emma was built In East Deering,
Me-, about IL years ago. and is the
property of Alfred Winsor & Sons or
Boston. 1t is feared that both points
on her anchors are still sticking in her
hull, and that il will be difficult TO re-
pair her so that she will be OF any SER
vice. At the time that she was drag

down upon them so hard that the points

but the attempt was unsuccessful. The
vessel is now tied up at the wharf of
