AMONG ANCIENT PERUvIANs.
The Early Tribes TrePhined Sknni
with stone InasSu1nents.

With stone InASS uIneAtS'
Prof. W. q. MCGEE OF the bureau o.
ethnology, in Washington, has received
official permission to exhibit at the Pan
american exposition in Buffalo his
studies of trephining among the early
Peruvfaps. He WIN show ancient skulls
Srephined by stone implements and IN
connection with this, some animal
skulls, showing experimental work done
under Prof. McGesss direction, using the
same flint implements which the a5er-
fgines were forced to employ. 1t is
doubtful whether the ancient operations
were performed for a distinctly surgical
purpose or whether the operation was OF
some mystic significance. In some cases
the freshness of the wounds in the bone
survive the operation, and in one or
two instances it is plain that the ancient
operator must have cut down upon a
large blood vessel, causing almost in
stantaneous death, but in other cases
the operation was more successful and
the patient must have survived for some
years at least. Prof. w H. Holmes, o.
the National Museum, will exhibit a
dozen groups of Elodels representing tbs
domestic life of the aborigines Of both
North and South America, and will
show also the houses in which they
lived and some of the garments and
implements of their daily life. This
exhibit, although under the auspices OF
the National Museum, has been planned
Ito supplement the regular ethnolog1c
and archaelogic exhibit of the exposi-
tion.

Eccentric Characters OF JeRer.
son City.

son City.
Lawyer George O.. White was one Of
the state capitals early day residents.
He had some eccentric characteristics
which made him noted man abou:
Jefferson City, relates DR.. Young In
his "reminiscences in the Tribune,
He told a good story, and when he
reached the laughing point he would
cut up some antics that were quite as
laughable as the story he told. He was
also noted for his chirography. It was
told OF him that once he was away from
home and wrote his wife to sell some
stock he had on his farm. The story
goes that when he returned she showed
hin the letter, and he remarked people
ought to write so ether people coul1
re- it. When she told him he wrote
it, then said it was plain enough
An. cher characteristic of his was TO
dress peculiarly. cannot describe nls
dress. He was always cleanly, but the
cut of his garments and the way he put
them on was certainly peculiar. He and
Judge z. L. Edwards were accustoneu
to travelling around the circuit together
in the days when they had to make the
trip on horseback. AIr. White was q
very persistent man in any proposition
he asserted. 3udge Edwards was quick
In temper and could not endure Whites
persistency. Once when they were
about to disrobe for the night, and were
taking OFF their watches, White remark
ed that he always wound his watch al
night. Edwards casually remarked tnai
he wound up his in the morning. Wnles
then proceeded to convince EDWARDS
that at night was the better tme' Oe-
cause you had less to think about ana
was not so likely to forget, whereas III
the morning the duties of the day Woulo
have possession Of the mind, ana one
would be more likely to forget 10 VIM
up his watch. Edwards remarked tnat
he never forget to wind his watch, ana
that he was in the habit fof winding u
then and could see no reason why ne
shouhd change. White persisted in his
iargurnent, conteRdtng that night was
the better time. By this time Edwards
had lost his patience, and getting INTO
bed saida wind your ID Oh
watch when you please, and Will 90
HE same!'' Those unpleasant incidents
did not AFFECT their friendship, for no
better friends ever lived.
