Surgery for q Degenerate.

Harry Knox, the ten-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. W. c. Knox, lies on
cot in the surgical ward at the Ala
medo county, Cal, hospital, the SUBJ
ject Of one of the most remarkable op-
e-atiors ever recorded in tie history
of medical science.
To relieve this boy from condition
which has developed all the evidences
of complete moral degeneracy, surgi-
cal skill has been invoked.
Several years ago the lad was struck
on the head with an axe falling from
building. Scientific treatment has
been of no avail to check the steady
degeneration Of his mind, evidenced
by his acts Of extreme cruelty and his
wanton thsits and destructive habits.
His play-mates on many occasions
barely escaped murder or torture at
his hands. Although of tender years,
the child was absolutely beyond pa
rental control.
His pernicious habits developed i'm
mediately after the injury to his head.
Last Tuesday the boy was sent to Su-
perintendent Clark, at the county hos
pital. 1t was decided that there
might be a serious pressure upon some
brain tract. A scar on the hair line
above the right eye marked where
the axe had inflicted injury.
DR.. Clark decided to trephine the
skull. This was done day or two
ago. Pressure on the brain was dis
covered and with this removed the
surgeons in charge of the case look for
a complete moral change in the boy

Introductions.

Several years after the Civil War a
steamer sailed from southampton for
the United States. The exigencies OF
getting off had detained the captain
on deck, and the guests at his table
sat through the first meal in silence,
ignorant of even one anothers names.
A little later, as an elderly lady hur-
ried down with a letter to so back by
the pilot, her vis-a-vis at table, gen.
tleman of striking face and winning
manner, stepped to her side and begged
to do her errand. On his return, the
lady bowed her thanks and seemed 70
invite him to walk the deck by her
side.
In the course of brief conversation
the woman remarked that she had not
seen the passenger-list, and asked if
he could tell her the name of another
gentleman whom she believed to be an
old acquaintance.
mo, madam" was the quiet reply,
81 know nobody on this boat except
the person who is now addressing you,
and who feels that he must not do
even that without telling you his
name"
Greatly surprised, the woman an
swered that she would be glad to
know to whom she was indebted for
the kindly service he had done her.
"My name, came the reply, "is JEFF
ferson Davis.
Far more self-assertive, but equally
impressive, was the Standardization
of another American officer on foreign
shores. Gen. Meredith Read, United
States envoy at Athens, once entered
the council chamber Of Gambetta at
Paris, carrying in his hand volume.
This he opened without word, laid
it on Gambetta's desk, and pointing
to a eulogistic notice of himself, said,
Kindly read that.
When Gambetta had complied, Gen
eral Read rose from his chair, pointed
to himself, and in tones of pardonable
pride exclaimed, "That is l." Then
and not until then did he extend his
hand to the great tribune, who had
meanwhile risen and expressed his
pleasure at making the acquaintance
of SO distinguished an officer who had
rendered such valuable service to the
United States. Gambetta said after
ward that in long experience Of public
life he had never known man to in
troduce himself in so delightfully."- orig
inal a manner. He thought it dis
tinctly American.-Kou C0npan-

A Pigry Watch.

In Berlin there is timepiece which,
says Science Siftings, is considered to
be the most marvellous piece Of mech
anism that human skill ever put to-
gether. 1t measures less than one
quarter of an inch in diameter, or one
with face about the size Of the head
of large.szed tack or nail. The case
is made of the very finest Of gold, and
the whole watch weighs less than two
grains, Troy. 1t can only be realized
how exceedingly light this is when We
consider that in Troy weight il takes
4S0 grains to make an ounce and that
y ounces constitute pound, or that
800 grains are contained in pound.
The numerals on the face Of the watch
are in Arabic, and if the hands were
put end to end they would not meas.
ure five-twenty-iourths oil an inch IN
length, the large one being less than
one.eighth and the small one less than
one-twelfth OF an inch long. II has,
besides, just as an ordinary watch,
or clock, second dial, which is less
than one-sixteenth Of an inch in
length. The works and hands are
made Of the finest tempered steel, and
are set throughout in diamond chips.
II is constructed on the most modern
plan, being wound by the stem and
get by pulling the stem out short
distance. 1t is said to be an excel
lent timekeeper.

Home ak.

Take heed to your conversation at
home. What is its tone? Do you give
quarter to criticism and censorious-
ness? Do you say harsh things about
people? Do you impeach the motives
and discount the doings Of the more
prominent and active people in your
community? Have you unkind things
to say of the minister, the doctor, the
teacher, the Judge, the grocer, the next
door neighbor? Look out. The meas
ure of injustice which enters into the
conversation in some homes is amazing.
The habit grows insidiously and does
not willingly loosen its hold. What
an atmosphere to live in What
chance is there for the growth Of re-
spect and confidence toward society
and the church? That boy has wide
open eyes and ears. That girl is amaz-
ingly susceptible to impressions just
now. You do not want them TO grow
up to distrust everybody and every
thing, and to look upon the world as a
hollow, painted mockerY. There Is
much goodness and realness all about
you. Talk about that. Quote the
good words people speak, the good
deeds they perform. Let the cOnver-
sation of the home inspire confidence
in virtue, manliness, righteousness
and all things that are Of good report.

SEALED ORDERS.

Out she swung from her moorinsS,
And over the harbor bar.
As the moon was slowly rising.
She faded from sight afar,
And we traced her cleaning canvas
By the twinkling evening star
None knew the port she sailed for.
Nor whittier her cruise would be:
Her future course was shrouded
In silence and mystery.
She was sailing beneath sealed orders"
To be opened out at sea.
Some souls cut off from moorings.
Go drifting into the night
Darkness before and around them,
With scarce a glimmer of light;
They are acting beneath sealed orders
And sailing by faith. not sight.
Keeping the line Of duty
Through good and evil report.
They shall ride the storms out safely,
Be the passage long or short;
For the ship that carries Gods orders
Shall anchor at last in port

most frightful corruption ever dessimi-

SENSATIONAL
Inquest Into the Death of a
Young Telephone Operator
At Sebring.

Alliance Review: Mrs. Helen Bald
win Holt, Of Massillon, died at Sebring
Sunday, aged 20 years. She was bride
Of three weeks, and was taken i'll one
week ago. Deceased was a member Of
the Disciple church. She was a relative
Of r. M. Wick, of Wayne street, and
had many friends about this section.
The funeral will be held at o'clock
Tuesday at Atwater, her old home.
Mrs. Holt was operator for the Column
biana county telephone company at
Sebring. Quite a sensation was sprung
in that section when Coroner Morrison
Of Youngstown, arrived this morning
and held an inquest into the cause of
the young woman's death. After a
preliminary examination the conclu-
sion was reached that death may have
resulted from a criminal operation.
Two Alliance physicians were said to
have been consulted in the case and one
doctor agreed to perform the operation
for $25. Much of the testimony was
conflicting and it was finally shown
that the deceased came to her death
from blood poisoning.

CIRCUS WAGON
Driven By the Brother She Had
Long MOurned As
Dead.

Wabash, Ind, May 22.-There was a
strange meeting between Mrs. Will
Sturkin and her brother, John Wissen-
berger, at Logansport yesterday, after
an absence by the latter of IA years.
during which time he was mourned as
dead. In 1886 Wissenberger was en-
ployed in a IIogansport factory. One
day he mysteriously disappeared, and
after numerous and unsuccessful at
tempts on the part of his relatives to
obtain trace of him Wissenberger was
given up as a suicide or the victim of an
accident. Yesterday while Mrs. Stur-
kin was standing on the street in Lo-
gansport, viewing the parade of Le-
mems circus, she was astonished to see
her brother John seated on a wagon
and driving four gray horses. She
could with difficulty restrain herself,
but later attempted to catch his eye.
Failing in this she FASTENED to the
circus grounds in the afternoon and
found Wissenberger, who was equally
astounded at seeing her. He admitted
that he was the real John and with
some persuasion Mrs. Sturkin induced
him to quit the circus. He will remain
In Logansport.
