Wells street that started to raising

morning a gang of some twenty
dagos came down to the city and
waited around the corner of Wells
and Charles street until the foreman
of the gang came along and meas
ured off the distance and marked
the line for the railroad track in
Sistersville. The gang began to
tear up the brick opposite the
First National Bank. A crowd OF
at least a hundred citiz:ns stood
and watched the first brick being
removed. 1t was a very pleasant
sight to the OH Review man. 1t

Public Hospital Dietary.
New York Tribune

From the New York tribune
The new dietary arranged by Miss Flor
ence Corbett for inmates of the Blackwell S
Island hospitals some two months ago has
accomplished such satisfactory results that
1t is now intended to have similar schedules
for all the city's dependents and also a
menu for employees on BlackwelPs Island
A civil service examination will be held In
the near future, and under this several
additional diettians will be appointed. Now
Miss Kingsland and Miss George are Miss
Corbett's only assistants.
Though in a general way the dietary has
been a success so far, Miss Corbett thinks
a test Of six months the shortest on which
any final judgment as to definite changes
could be given. The menu is sufficiently
flexible to serve in basic way for the en-
tire year, but probably by the first Of Oc-
tober the wisdom or unwisdom of every de-
tail will have been thoroughly tested, and
changes, If any are necessary, will be made
then. More fruit than ever before is given
to the patients, and variety of cereals,
as monotony even Of the very bsst things
is more or less injurious. OF course, for
those whose disease demands an Individual
diet there are specially prepared dishes.
For all others in the hospitals there is a
bill of fare the details of which are not
the same on any two consecutive days.
For each individual there is a breakfast of
cereal, eight ounces; of bread, four ounces;
of butter, one-half ounce, and Of coffee,
sixteen ounces. Dinner soup. twelve
ounces; meat, five to seven ounces. or fish
eight ounces; vegetables, eight ounces, and
bread, four ounces. Supper-bread four
ounces; butter. one-half ounce, and tea,
sixteen ounces with either twelve ounces
of soup and four ounces OF crackers, or
eight ounces of fruit sauce or six of farina
pudding. All quantities are Of the cooked
foods, ready to serve. At o'clock pm.
eight ounces of milk are served to each in
mate. The patients themselves, mary of
whom have known quite another regime on
the island, are eager in their praise Of the
changed conditions.
consequently many Independent subheads
the hospitals did not fare alike, and there
was much discomfort. Now all share equal
ly the means allotted for their provisions.
and through Miss Corbett's efforts the
greatest amount of nutriment and the par
ticular sort of nutrition required under the
circumstances are obtained at the lowest

SURGERY IN BRIGHT's DISEASE.
Hopelessness Of the Malady Justifies
Risk of Operation.

From the New York Sun.
Nothing could better illustrate the ire
mendous progress made in modern surgery
than the invasion of the field formerly sup
posed to belong entirely to the medical slde
of practice. In fact, the surgery of today
has small respect for the expectant meth
DDS of medicine. Pasteurs demonstration
of the causative relation Of bacteria to dis
ease and the control of germ infection by
careful antisepsis, as shown by Lister, en-
couraged the surgeon in his aggressiveness
The experience gained by Marion Sims IN
his treatment of gunshot wounds received
at the battle Of Sedan opened the way to
the peritoneal cavity, long forbidden
ground to surgery He called the attention
of the profession throughout the world to
the necessity of opening into this cavity In
the treatment of gunshot and other wounds
of the bowels in the famous telegram from
Paris to the surgeons in charge of Prest-
dent Garfield, who was dying from septic
infection. 1t was to "cut open the man
abdomen, find the bullet, cleanse and drain
the infected area.
The liver, gall bladder, gall ducts, the
stomach (even to the complete removal or
this organ), the spleen. intestines and the
vermiform appendix (to which great opera
ton DR.. Simon Baruch Of New York com.
PEELED the attention of surgeons), the spinal
BRAIN came one by one within the domain
of the scalpel, and now let us hope that
the claim Of another American surgeon,
Dr. George H. Edebohls of New York-that
chronic nephritis is a surgical disease-may
be established by successful demonstra-
tions While many Of the most distin-
guished and capable surgeons do not as
yet admit this claim, ltra-conservatism
should not be a bar to the efforts at a
further and satisfactory demonstration of
this new procedure. 1t is well to be con-
sentative in all things, and especially in
surgery, but too much conservatism may
shut the door to progress and may be
proved equally dangerous with the radical
ism of the enthusiast
The hopelessness of many phases of
Bright's disease justifes a very considera-
BILE risk in the effort to relieve or cure its
unfortunate victims The removal of the
capsule, or the surrounding membrane. of
the kidney by surgical operation is claimed
to free the diseased and weakened kidney
substance from too great compression and
to increase the circulation in this organ
by the formation of new blood vessels be-
tween the released kidney and the sur
rounding tissues. That the death rate
should be comparatively high after such an
operation, even when most skillfully per-
formed, is to be expected, for Bright's dis
ease exaggerates the danger of any surgical
procedure; but the proportion of cases al
ready reported as cured or improved justi-
fees further trial.

AN INDIANA IDEA.
An Act of the Legislature to Encourages
Tree Planting.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Indiana has undertaken the work of en-.
couraging tree planting and forest cultiva-
ton in a practical way. It is calculated
that, under the provision Of act of the
legislature now in force, less than half
a million trees will be planted in the state
during the year.
These trees are to be planted under the
supervision Of the state forester, who is
empowered to purchase a state reservation
of 1900 acres, to be planted in hard wood
timber. But the greatest progress in the
work of reforestation viii very likely be
made by private effort since 1t will be to
the decided advantage Of large and small
land owners to set aside portions Of their
holdings for the raising of trees.
Under the law not to exceed one-eighth
of the total area of the land owned shall
be appraised for taxation at 81 an acre II
1t is set aside as a permanent forest reser-
walton. The majority of farmers own lands
which they could well afford to plant in
trees with the assurance that they will not
only make saving in the taxes, but that
in the course of few years they will have
a crop which will yield large returns on
the Investment. The difference between the
Indiana plan and that generally pursued in
that the former appeals to the selfish side
of human nature rather than to the senti-
mental.

German Custard Cream.


Put one cup of milk and one cup of water
in double boiler and scald. Thicken with
little well-dried -four or rice -four wet
with cold milk. add pinch Of salt and a
very little of the thin yellow peel of lem
on; sweeten slightly and cook well. then
add the beaten yolk of an egg and cook
few minutes longer. Beat the white Of
the egg stiff with a favoring Of nutmeg
or cinnamon and serve heaped on top Of
the soup.
Wheat Jelly.
This is a most excellent dish for the
sick. Add a scant quarter of a teaspoonful
of salt to one and one-quarter cups of
water and let 1t come to a boil, then add
a quarter Of cup of entire wheat in some
coarse granulated form. Cook in an earth
en- crock on back Of range for an hour:
then add as much hot milk as you had
water and let it cook slowly for another
hour. Stir often enough to prevent stick
ing; it will not burn unless you allow it
When done stir and pour into small cups
wet with cold water and set away to get
cold and firm.

This makes very acceptable nourishment
stifr and pack 1t in little molds with the
fruit imbedded in the center, or else serve
with the fruit as garnish.
Eggnog Junket.
Junkets are a most wholesome and pala-
table addition to the sick diet and are also
nutritious and easily digested.

quantity than required for one feeding;

That Corn Beef Mine.
From the St. Louis Star.

After all, it may not be necessary to conc
tinue the fight against the meat combine,
as word comes from the Yellowstone Park
of the discovery Of a deposit OF corned beef
sufficient to feed the world for a long time
to come. That the information comes by
way of Munich does not make it any the
less reliable. The discovery Is credited to
a cowboy. The only trouble possible In
utilizing the deposit would seem to be In
running the park by mining operations.

New Tramway Opened.

Visitors to London this year will be able
to travel by electric tramway all the way
from Shepherds Bush or Hammersmith
Broadway to the gates of Hampton Court
palace. The new line is an extension of
the one at present in operation as far as
,Twickenham. and will be open tomorrow.
The distance of the whole journey, most Of
which is through very picturesque scenery
full of historical associations. Is twelve
miles and the fare Is sixpence. BY taking
the Central London railway Cthe twopenny
from the city to Hampton Court for eight
pence. Another section of the Thames Val
ley system will also be opened on the same
day. This is an extension on the lines from
Richmond bridge. and they win be con-
unued through Teddington and Hampton
Wick, and past Kingston to Hampton
Court palace. The number of luxurious
cars now running on this system will be
materially increased. and 1t is expected
that from S0,O0O.OOO to 100 600, 600 passen-
egrs will travel by them every year.
Attractive Homes for Workngmen.
Some Of the temptations Of workingmen

class dwellings built by the London county
council at the back of the 1iolborn town

object of the council Is to provide good,
healthy dwellings at the lowest possible
price. Yet here the workingman must pay
9s. Cd. week for three rooms or Is. Cd for
two. How men with three or four children
earn it is difficult to understand. But for
their purpose the rooms are excellent. Each

Clifford Haddon. He was then studying and
learning the business of pleasing customers
and making money under as good teachers
and as successful merchants as ever sold
goods. Their motto has been to sell honest
goods at honest prices, and when goods were
a little late in the season, they went for what
ever they would bring.
Taking lessons from the successful and

not surprised at Clifford Haddon's success
In fact, We would have been surprised II he
had not succeeded. Ifhs doesn't prosper and

sweets and the comforting assurances OF our
holy religion, We are afraid that our neigh

What would the heathen lands, or what
would the followers Of Confucius think If
they knew that amidst our Bibles, and in
sight OF the spires of the temples in which
our affairs are erected, the people were al
tscking funeral professions? What would
they think If they knew that this christian

If more disgraceful scenes ever occurred
among the followers of Confucins than have
been recently enacted in Chicago in attack.
Ing funeral professions, we are not Informed
OF the fact.

undertake TO bring the violators Of law and
decency in that city under the banner OF

We see by the News and Courier that the

made an interesting program for the dedica-

dedication right and proper.

people 10 dedicate their homes9 The faith
which Christians profess promotes the purity
and the sweetness Of the fireside as we'll as

the family goes In, why not dedicate 1t, and
