MAKING A NEW SCALP.
Physicians are Trying to do This for
a Philadelphia Girl.

In the Methodist Hospital in Phila-
delphia physicians are engaged in
grating skin on the head of a small
girl whose scalp had been torn off by
machinery in her fathers mill. DR.
John b. Roberts, chief surgeon, and
DR.. j. r. Crawford are in charge OF
this unusual work, and express nc
doubt of entire success, which will be
triumph of up-tO-date surgery.
A square inch of small bits of skin
taken from the arm of another patient
was grated on the top of the childs
head, and if healthy growth takes
place the father and friends of the
girl win be asked to sacrifice larger
pieces of their own skin. Even with
fair skill, years may elapse before
enough skin is grated to supply the
place of the lost scalp.
Clara Hixon is the name of the
young patient. She is 10 years old.
She was in her fathers grist mill in
Emmaville, near Altoona. and her long
hair catching in a belt, her scalp was
torn off from above her eyebrows to
the base of the skull. She was brought
to the Methodist Hospital in this city
and recovered from the shock.
A woman patient whose skin is per-
fectly healthy expressed her willing
ness to part with square inch, and
the grating was done.
1t is not a very painful operation
for persons supplying the skin, and
later when larger patches are to be
grated there will be a number of
other courageous young women ready
to sacrifice portions of their cuticle
The skin at present is being taken
in tiny circles, lifted on the point OF a
needle and shipped off with a sharp
knife.-New York Herald.

Lord Charles Ber esford is anticipated
with keen interest. This report,
which extends to some four hundred
pages, will be published by the Har-
pers simultaneously in England and
the United States. l have had the OPP
portunity of perusing the book, and
though Of course its contents cannot
be divulged, l may say that students
of high politics, and the general pub
lie, will, for the first time, have the
China question put before them in a
coherent and connected form. The
narrative is deeply interesting and the
plea for the maintenance of the open
door is sustained in measured Sc
quence Of fact and argument that will
appeal to the conscience as we'll as to
the interests of the Anglo-Saxon peo-
pie. Lord Charles deeply feels the
ignominious reversal of British tradi-
tons which has characterized our
treatment of China. There was a
time when the hereditary policy of
Britain was to befriend weak nations
That is ancient history. England has
taken what does not belong to her in
China, under threats of guns and
ships, for no better reason than that
the military powers of Europe were
doing the same.-Arnold White in

COQUELIN AND CYRANO.

The gossip of Paris centers round
the heir and successor to "Cyrano" at
the Porte st. Martin, in which Co
quelin-ye gods think of it!-plays
Napoleon. The other evening at a din
ner met most charming old French
man, with souvenirs, who told me
charming tales of the little Coquelins,
Constant and Cadet, as boys in Boulo-
gne-sur-Mer.
Their father kept boulangerie,
and as a good baker and good pere de
famille, he sent his boys to learn the
rudiments to ''le pere Taverne," who
kept an exceedingly elementary school.
He considered his further duty done
by them when he had clothed them
in white drilling, put little white
bakers caps on to them, and set them
respectively to watching the oven, or
trotting through the streets with bas-
ketS of cakes on their heads or long
metres of French bread under their
arms, or great rounds of the same ap-
petizing necessity slung over their
waists
1t was soon to be observed, however,
that Constant, the elder, was a youth
OF most unfortunate proclivities for
one destined for the bakers profess
sion. Like Rostand's cuisinier poete,
he let the bread burn for verses, but
in declaiming, not composing them.
The boys would not have been boys
if they had not organized some sort of
a barn circus in their case amateur
theatricals, played in an old abandon
ed theater.
Il am organizing for this week a
grand representation extraordinaire, -
said the elder Coquelin one day to his
admiring little brother.
What role shall you play?" asked
Cadet, awe-struck
Il shall play all the roles" was the
answer, and that might almost be
taken as the watchword of Coquelin's
career.
He had not boosted over his repre-
sentation extraordinaire" He played
the leading character in four roles, one
tragic, one bouffe, one serious, one
sentimental, and so worked himself
up in the last that he tainted away as
he left the stage.
Cadet, pale and excited, conducted
his brother home, and the father, evil

o BEAUTIFUL, MY COUNTRY.

20 beautiful, my country"
Be thine a noble care
Than all thy wealth of commerce
Thy harvest waving fair;
Be it thy pride to life up
The manhood of the poor;
Be thou to the oppressed
Fair freedoms open door!
For thee our fathers suffered;
For thee they toiled and prayed;
Upon thy holy altar
Their willing lives they laid.
Thou hast no common birthright;
Grand memories on thee shine;
The blood of pilgrim nations
Commingled flows in thine.
o Beautiful, our country!
Round thee in love we draw;
Thine is the grace of freedom,
The majesty of law.
Be righteousness thy sceptre,
Justice thy diadem;
And on thy shining forehead
Be peace the browning gem.

ETHER WAVES.

From the purely scientific side the
phenomena of wireless telegraphy are
most marvellous. They show us that
this remarkable medium the ether,
which encompasses us about on every
side, penetrating the densest as well
as the rarest forms of matter and fill
ing the whole of celestial space, is in
a state Of endless disturbance, crossed
and recrossed by waves in infinite
variety. In his address on the six
Gateways of knowledge" Lord KEEL
win has called attention to the vast
gap between four hundred vibrations
per second, the sound of a rather high
tenor voice, and four hundred million
millions per second, the number of
vibrations corresponding to dull red
light, and therefore the lowest rate in
the spectrum" But now that Hertz has
given us ether waves millions of miles
long. how enormously has this range
been widened? Within this range
there is room for twenty senses in
place of five, each equal in range to
those we have at present. And If each
should reveal to us as much as does
the eye, what an amazing wealth of
knowledge would be ours? Indeed,
Lodge has suggested an electrical
theory of vision based on coherer ac-
ton. But why may not these Hert-
ian waves have been already utilized
by our organism?
We are told that the day that Gen.
Gordon was killed at Khartoum the
people in the streets and bazaars of
Cairo knew of it. though the distance
in a direct line is a thousand miles,
and no telegraph connects these cities.
And a British officer in Afghanistan
narrates that in formation of the in
tended movement of troops during the
war at distances fifty or one hundred
miles away was known to the natives
at these points almost Immediately.
though no signaling of any sort could
be detected. What worlds of pos
sible sensation lie all about us in
these ether waves, and when these are
fully recognized, with what tremendous
capabilities will the human race be
endowed! In the eloquent words of
ryndall. 1.-The air about us may be
hull of heavens hallelujahs, while we
hear only the feeble whisper of our
own prayers. "-Lippincott's.

CHRISTMAS BELLS.

] heard the bells on Christmas day
Their OIL, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, good will to men"
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Now roll along
The unbroken song
OF Peace on earth, good will to men"
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, chime,
A chant sublime,
OF Peace on earth, good will to men,"
But in despair | bowed my head
There is no peace on earth" said;
For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
OF Peace on earth, good will to men,"
Then pealed the bells, more loud and
deep,
God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail, the Right pre-
vail,
With peace on earth, good will to
men"

THE GAR AND WAR.

NJ. Bloch, the Polish banker, whose
book on war has made such stir in
Europe, has been paying a brief visit
TO London. He leaves this morning

BY his appearance I should Judge NJ
Bloch to be a man of so or thereabout
He has compact, business-like head
a keenly intellectual face and a kindly
eye. In stature he is under the aver
age hight, but he has a dignity of man
ner such as becomes an eminent sub
ject of the czar.
1t has been said that NJ. Bloch s
book moved the car to issue the
rescript which is shortly to bring the
nations together in conference at The
Hague. l put that point to NJ Block,
and what he said was, ooh, the sub

"But he read your book, did he
not?"

zines. When the book was coming
out, however. certain points were
raised by the censor, and said, They

then read the magazine articles very
carefully"

that you were enabled to make a very

expression in your book"

and as we talked he would say. oh,

us go on to the next point. Before
you had time to make all your ex-
plantations the emperor had grasped
the subject and was waiting upon new
