be sufficiently gone throughout this

little inconvenience, and it is hoped
they will start in as soon as possible.
Operators should commence work as

DRESS THEIR WOUNDS.
Certain Birds Display Wonderful
Knowledge of Surgery.

There are not few birds that possess
a knowledge of the principles of surgery
that is not far from supernatural. The
woodcock, the partridge and some other
birds are able to dress their wounds with
considerable skill. A French naturalist
SAYS that on several occasions he has
killed cocks that were when shot conva-
lescing from wounds previously received.
In every instance he found the old injury
neatly dressed with down, plucked from
the stem of feathers and skillfully arrang-
ed over the wound, evidently by the long
beak of the bird. In some instances
solid plaster was thus formed, aud in
others ligatures had been applied to
wounded or broken limbs.
One day he killed a bird that evidently
had been severely wounded at some recent
period. The wound was covered and pro-
tected by sort of network of feathers
which had been plucked by the bird from
plaster completely covering and pro-
tecting the wounded surface. 1t had evil
IDENTIFY acted as hemostatic in the first
place and subsequently as shield cover
ing the wound. The feathers were fairly
mead together passing alternately under
and above each other and forming a tex
tile fabric of great protective power.
Birds are often found whose limbs have
been broken by shot with the fractured
ends neatly joined and ligated NJ Du-
montell tells of a woodcock that had been
shot by n sportsman on the afternoon of
a certain day. After a long search the
bird was given up, but it was discovered
the next morning by an accident. In the
meantime the wounded legs Were found
to be neatly .igated, an exquisitely neat
bandage having been placed around each
limb. The poor bird, however, had, in
dressing its wound, entangled its beak
with some long solf feathers, and had it
not been discovered it would have died
of observation-disclosures Chronicle.

John Joy Edison has been identified with
| the business social. philanthropical, and
civic interests of the Capital City for
twenty-e;ght years. He holds office in
score or more of its organizations. and
Is the head and ruling spirit of many of
Them. He is one of the best-known Wash
ington men throughout the country
through his financial interests and his
conspicuous service with all the recent
inaugural committees. He is considered
thorough business man, rigidly me
thodical, minutelv accurate and vet able
to grasp, clearly and quickly, the wider
problems of big financial enterprises. His
work in the charities of the District has
been important and effective. The success
with which he has filled the positions of
Chairman of the Inaugural Committee and
President of the Washington Board of
Trade and the work that he has done
as a prominent member of the Columbia
Historical Society exhibit in remarka-
BILE way the breadth of his abilities and
energy.
Mr.. Edison was born at Jefferson Ohio,
in 1876. He received his education partly
in Ohio and partly in New York. but be-
fore he had graduated from his last
school, ard when only fifteen years old
becoming a member of the Sixty-first
New York Infantry. On account of his
extreme youth his parents obtained his
discharge at first. but he persuaded them
to his way of thinking and Immediately
re-eniisted. He had two years of active
service with the Army of the Potomac
under Gen. George 3. Mcclellan and Gem
eral Burnside, taking part in number of
battles, among them Antietam and Fred
ericksburg. In 1863 he was discharged at
Armory Square Hospital in this city.
Senator Benjamin F. Wade of OHIO then
secured him a position in the Treasury
Department, where he was a clerk in the
office of the Comptroller of the Treasury.
Meanwhile he studied law at Columbian
University Law School. and in 1858 he
graduated and resigned his Treasury po-
sition.
