Pigskin Grated on Girl.

Richmond, Va, Nov. S.-Her own
mother and relatives having declined
to make the necessary sacrifice TO
save her life, the skin of a young pig
was this afternoon grated on be
back of a 10-year old girl to cover
spot Il inches in diameter. Some
weeks ago the clothing of the girl
took fire and she was frightfully
burned.
Stuart Mcclure, who is a son OF
Doctor Hunter Mcclure, Stonewall
Jackson's surgeon, conceived the
idea OF using the cuticle of a young
and tender pig, The operation was
performed this afternoon. A small
black pig was chlorofOrmed into in.
sensihility, the bristles were shaved
from he skin and with his keen lancet
the young surgeon removed it In
strips.
The skin was laid on in small pieces
until it covered the bare space. The
result of this novel method of aiding
nature will not be known for several
DAYS.

BETTER FEELING. IN NAVY.
Causes of Dissatisfaction Among
OnicsrS and Men l. Removed hy
Action of Secretary MnGdy.

Secretary Moody has ordered the re-
moval Of the causes of dissatisfaction
among the officers and men of the
North Atlantic squadron. There has
been a general decentralization. and de-
sertions were 50 frequent as to cause
alarm. That pierre was something rad
ically wrong with the enlisted person.
mel was demonstrated by the large
number of deSRrtionS during the last
few months. The bureau of navigation
has now completed the investigation
OF complaints. and while no one will
admit there was cause for them. il is
said cheerfulneSs now pervades the
crews and that assertions are decreas-
ing. At one time some officers ON duty
at the navy department were of the
opinion that the recent suicides Of Off
GERS in the squadron were due to some
general cause. but they are now sat-
isfied the causes were individual in each
case of self-destruction and were apart
from the life on shipboard.
II is said that ever since the United
navy was established it has been Gus
tomary to give liberty al least one
day in the week to the enlisted men
of ships at home ports. The rule
worked exceedingly well. The men
were willing TO perform their duties
to the best Of their ability and with
cheerfulne,S throughout the week il
they had before them the prospect of
being permitted To go ashore at the
end. 1t is understood, however, that
the investigation disclosed that this
rule was not observed in the North
Atlantic squadron; that there was no
cessation Of routine, with considerable
additional duties and consequent loss
of sleep entailed hy the squadron eX-
erciSes. and hat the men became surly
over the fact that they were kept con-
stantly on shipboard with the shore
in sight.
4 great many "greenhorns" have
been enlisted in the service recently,
and these. il is said. found the life 50
entirely different from what they en-
pected 1t to he that many Of them de-
serted at the first opportunity. An
other cause Of dissatisfaction, accord
ing to report. was that the men were
frequently called on to perform duties
at their meal hour which could have
been performed just rs well NJ some
subsequent lime. Things of this sort,
