IDENTIFIED BY A SKULL CHIP.
Odd Experience of Medical Mission
airy with Native African.
From the Louisville Commercial,


Probably the oldest case within my ex-
perience was that of Lapuie. who made
himself known to me through the use of
detached piece of his own skull" said
medical missionary on furlough from his
work among the heather. ''One morning
| went out to look over the specimens of
real or fancied injury which were awaiting
treatment. There was pretty nearly every
kind of tropical disease in the OUTFIT, from
sore finger to dropsy. Most OF the patients
were well known to me, but among them
was one man whose face was unfamiliar,
and who seemed to belong to different
tribe. AS l stopped at his place he leaped
to his feet actively as a cat, and from
somewhere in his scanty apparel dug up an
object which he promptly handed to me.
1t was a circular piece of human skull as
big around as a dollar, and very nearly as
thick. On the outer surface some one had
carefully written in ink the name Lapuie.
This must be, / think, the first case in
which man has used part of his skull in
stead Of a visiting card.
Il looked the man over at once to find
out what the trouble was. He had had
some sort of a difference of opinion with
his chiefs and as the result of such pre-
sumption had received a stout clubbing
One of the blows had fractured the skull
and for the time had knocked him out
When the old women who look after the
science of medicine among these particular
heather got hold of Lapuie they found
that part of his skull was loose. To save
difficulty they pried the loose piece off with
the blade of a knife, poulticed up the
wound and let nature do the rest The pa
tent kept the chip of his skull and the in
scriptlon upon 1t was the work of some
passing trader.
when the case came under my notice
there was scarcely more than the thickness
of a piece of parchment left of the skull
over the brain, and the wound had practi-
cally healed. 1t turned out that Lapuie
had made the long journey to his distant
home to see me. because this degree of
damage troubled him. He had the idea
that the piece of the skull should be set
back in place. and he seemed to have great
confidence in my ability to do it. 1t was a
great disappointment to him that his skull
chin could not be stuck back. Although I
did all that surgical science prescribes for
the protection of the thin spot in the Grant
UNI my patient kept harping on the fear
that he might lose his fragment of bone
which might fall into improper hands and
thus play the mischief with him. The only
way to pacify him was to string the chip
on a copper wire and solder it about his
neck"

Ancient GaIlantry.

The respect and veneration paid to
the fair sex formed an essential in
gredient in chivalry. This, it is sup
posed, was derived from the customs
Of the primitive Germans, whose fe-
males are represented TO have been very
high-spirited and to have exercised con-
siderable sway over the other sex.
Whatever truth there may be in this
statement, certain it is that a high spe-
cies of gallantry forms the very spirit
of modern chivalry; and, as proof
of this we have only to refer to the
classification of q knights duty, to fear
God and love the ladies, to perceive how
necessary female alteration is to the
very existence of this order. This prin-
ciple of female alteration, so promi-
nently displayed in every aspect Of
chivalry, extended its influence to the
laws of the times; for we find James
II. of Arragon ordering in this manner:
"We will that every man, who shall
be in company with lady, pass safe
and unmolested unless he be guilty of
murder" And Louis H., duke of Bour-
bon, instituting the order of the Golden
Shield, enjoins his knights to honor,
above all, the ladies, and not permit
anyone to slander them; because"
adds he, from them, after God, comes
all the honor that man can acquire
