IIse of Electricity for Surgery.

An electrically driven saw has been
found to be of great use in surgery.
The shaft upon which it Is run Is
connected with the motor by q flexible
spiral coil encased in a BRAIDED
sheath, the whole being three feet
long The saw Is not connected d.
rectly with the end Of the shaft, but
,s attached to it through right-angle
bevel, so that 1t operates in plane
with the end of the shaft, which
makes it more convenient for hand

with the new one, delicacy Of cutting

AN ARMY ON THE MARCH
A Single Corps Extends Over Thlrty.four
Miles of Road.

Few persons have any notion of the
vast length Of an army on the march.
A single buttalion of infantry, 1000
strong-which is the strength of an
English battallon-takes up a road
length of 525 yards, including about
eighty yards for stragglers. A bat.
terry Of field artillery takes up 2G0
yards. and regiment Of cavalry takes
when marching four abreast, $50 yards.
AN army corps, with its stnff, wagons,
guns, hospitals, ETC., would extend over
thlrty-four miles of road.
An army marches slowly on the best
Of roads. 1t Is much more tirlng
marching in a crowd than walking
nlone Soldiers go at the rate Of about
two and one-half or two and three
quarter miles an hour, and In the Eng
lsh army they do good days march
when they cover thirteen miles. This
accounts for the fact that when news
Is printed Of an army marching to at
tack surprise is expressed that the at
tackled layed so long. 1t takes day or
more for all the men to assemble on the
battlefield
The rates Of march for the various
arms differ, of course; but the fastest
arm has to suit It's pace to the slowest.
Here are the English official rates: In
fantry in small bodies, three miles an
hour; infantry in large bodies, two and
half to two and three-quarter miles;
cavalry, walking, four miles; cavalry,
trotting, nine miles, cavalry, galloping,
fifteen miles; artillery, walking, three
smiles; artillery, trotting, eight miles.
In our army the average march for
Infantry is from fifteen to twenty miles
q day. When troops move IN large
bodies, and particularly In the vicinity
of the enemy, the march is conducted
in several columns so as to diminish
the depth of the column and to ex,
pedlte the deployment into line OF
battle. In large commands the roads,
If possible, are left to the artillery and
trains. When long distances have to
be covered rapidly, 1t Is done by chang
Ing gaits. The most favorable ground
Is selected for the double time, but care

For the Piazza Plants.

When choosing pots for piazza
plants, as 80 many busy housewives
are doing just now, great care should
be taken to avoid inharmonious color
schemes. The decorated stone flower
pots are picturesque in themselves,
but when plant, the hue of whose
blossoms wars with the color of the
pot, is placed among the greenery it
strikes q discordant note in the rost-
full, pleasing effect "bowery" piazza
is supposed to produce. Plain jars
are best for Towering plauts, while
palms look we'll in those which are
ornamented with figures in relief.
Leeds warei is inexpensive and the
colors are clear and exquisite, those
in deep yellow and palo blue being
particularly desirable. There is also
a deep, rich red bowl in this ware
made in several sizes, in which palms
and other Howerless plants look su-
perb, and the Tokonabi iars, terra
Gotta with raised decoration in gold,
are very desirable for drawing room
use, as they harmonize with almost any
surroundings. The blue and white
Owari ware is also popular and7well
suited to any of the dirk oliaged
plants. The custom which has5pre-
vailed of late of putting palms and
rubber plants in the vestibules and on
the entrance steps of houses as soon
as the weather is mild enough to per-
NIT is pleasing one, and very good
for the plants, which have been
housed so long, but when there are a
number, and one bowl is yellow,
another bright blue and another4red,
the appearance is much that of a,shop
with the various wares exposed out
side for sale.

Hints for the Kitchen.

Gases Of poisoning have arisen
through careless disregard for tho
cleanliness OF the cooking utensils or
of their perfect condition. Directly
copper saucepan shows signs of being
at oil worn it should be retinned, and
III any case nothing of IN acid nature
should be allowed to remain in it
while cooling. The same with regard
to zinc and lead vessels, which are
unsafe for cooking purposes. Those
of tin, steel, iron or nickel are the
safest to employ. Remember, too,
that it is better to use wooden spoon
than one of metal when stirring milk
or soups, and that before using baking
tins You should grease them inside
thoroughly either with butter or lard.
In order to prevent them from burn
ing it is as we'll to take the precaution
of sprinking the shelves of the oven

Caring for kindergarten Flock.

A young woman who conducts a
kindergarten in Chicago showed one
day recently that she is ready to meet
any emergency.
Every morning she starts out early
in big bus and calls ut the houses
of her patrons, collecting the little
ones intrusted to her care, and driving
with them to the scene of their
studies. In the afternoon they are
taken home again in the same way.
On the morning in question, through
some unexplained accident, the bus
got in front of grip car, or grip
car ran into the bus. Fortunately
none of the children were hurt, but
one of the hind wheels was knocked
off the bus and the twenty little chill
dren tumbled and scrambled out into
the street. The bus was useless, and
the schoolroom was half a mile away
too far for the little ones to walk in
the cold weather. Then the teacher
showed how kindergarten training
makes one ready to meet every emer-
gency. She marshaled her charges
and let them into the closed car i'm
mediately behind the grip, which hap
pened, fortunately, to be entirely
empty. The party almost filed the
seats on both sides of the car.
Presently the conductor entered,
intent on collecting fares. When he
came in the kindergarten teacher
handed him FIVE cents. The conductor
took the money and looked question
ingly at the seats crowded with small
children.
"Who's goin' to pay fer de kids?"
he asked.
"My dear sir, said the kindergar.
ton teacher, '.these children are all
under FIVE years old, and I am their
guardian. They ride free"
And they did. Chicago Tribune.

HOW THE BUFFALO WAS DROWNED.
A Texas Cowboys Most Brilliant Feat OF
Ropiug,

A group Of cattlemen at the Live
Stock Convention at Ell Reno were talk
ing about the skill of the Oklahoma
cowboys in throwing the lariat, when
r. E. Word, Sr., whose home is Ut
Higgins, Texas, but whose cattle are
mostly in Oklahoma, said: Il had an
experience roping when was young
man which put me through a lively
gait. AS q Texan who had followed the
range all his life, felt that there was
not bronco on top of the ground that
could throw me, and nothing on four
legs that I couldn't rope and tie. In
the summer of 1871 was on the Little
Arkansas River, five miles south of
Wichita, Kan. I had splendid horse,
trained for the range and almost as IN
telligent as a man. One afternoon
came suddenly upon five big buffalo
bulls that had wandered away from
the main herd. I pulled my pistol,
killed one of them, and not having time
to reload decided to rope one. Shortly
afterward 1 found myself with big
job on my hands.
''At the first throw my rope dropped
around the old bulls horns. Now, when
q buffalo makes up his mind to go
anywhere in rush he travels In a
straight line. You may be able to
turn him little, but in the main he
will keep his course. That was what
this bull did He headed toward the
Little Arkansas, with the evident in.
tention of crossing it. My horse, al
ways fearless when handling cattle,
was timid when in close quarters with
n buffalo, and was unable to check
the bull, who soon had me going south
ut a lively clip. 1 was becoming of
the opinion that the ony way out of
my trouble was to cut my rope and
lei, the bull carry it of.
"The Little Arkansas Is narrow IN
places, while at no great distance c.way
will be found pools four and five feet
deep and from twenty-five to forty feet
wide. The bull rushed headlong into
one Of these pools. The opposite bank
was perpendicular and about foot
and a half above the water. Taking in
the situation quickly, 1 saw that I
could run out my rope far enough
TO enable my horse to cross at a mar
row, shallow place. He jumped across
in fact ahead to keep going and jerked
the rope taut just as the bull started
to climb the bank. The jerk pulled
the bulls nose into the water and his
shaggy head against the perpendicular
bank. He made great uproar, but
my horse held him there as in wise.
Strange as 1t may seem, I succeeded
in keeping that bulls nose under wa
ter until he drowned. I always re-
sarded this as my most brilliant feat
In roping."

HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
For yonr Glassware.

In washing glassware beware OF
placing it in hot water bottom down,
for that is the time that an ominous
sound will tell OF crack from sudden
expansion. Very hot water will not
hurt any piece of glassware if only
the inside as we'll as the outside comes
into contact with the water. The
best way to wash cut glass is to first
put it into warm water in which lit
tie soap has been dissolved and then
rinse it in warm water to which M al

"By Eve, I believe? I don't fancy
he wanted the apple much, did he?"

than this, anyhow" She looked right
at me at last. Her eyes said quite
plainly, "You needn't tell mother. ?"
AS ii I had auy such intention!

"I-I am sorry, she said, in a sub.

"Please don't say that, or you will

it with a laugh.
Soon afterward I went, assuring
Mrs. Parker that I should soon avail
myself of her kind invitation to call
again. I hope they did not hear me
laughing when I got indoors.

afternoon Eve sat under the shade of
my apple tree reading book. SO I
strolled out and looked over the wall.

she looked down.

pretending to cut the pages of her
book. They were cut already.

me out of the corne' of her eyes.
"Adam was better without the
apple, you know" she assured me.
