NEW EAR GRATED ON MANS HEAD.

-
Surgeons at the Presbyterian Hos
pital are much gratified over the sue
cess of 1.-The operation performed on
Alexander Hammond, by which the
latter was provided with n new ear.
The man has just returned to his home
in Malvern, Pa, well satisfied with
modern surgery. 49,
Hammond had his left ear frozen
about four years ago. A cancerous
growth developed, and three weeks
ago he was sent by his family physi-
clan, DR.. Curtz, to the Presbyterian
Hospital. The ear was amputated,
leaving only stump. 40 -
DR.. Henry Wharton, of the hospital
staff, then made an incision back of
the ear stump and lifted up flap of
skin in the shape of peninsula, with
the connection just back Of the root of
the ear.
The flap was then nodded into the
shape of an ear and sewed up to place.
The place where the flap had been was
covered by pulling the skin up over it.
The operation is called in surgical par
lance ''plastic operation"
The man was able to leave the hos
pital in a little over two weeks. The
hospital surgeons say that the opera
tion is rare one, and in this case re-
suited very uccessfully.-Philadcl

meut does more credit to Mr. Welles'
imagination than to his reasoning
powers, and such fanciful myths may
very we'll be set on one side as outside
arguments. All that has been known
hitherto for a certainty Is that the
Washingtons were a widespread group
Of English country families, descended
from one Laurence Washington, some
time Mayor of Northampton. In 1888
Bluff King Hal. having successfully
despoiled the priories, granted the
manor of Sulgrave, part of his gains,
to Laurence, who forthwith set up as
prosperous country squire. His
descendants spread to all parts of
England. There were Washingtons in
Lancashire, Warwickshlre, Wiltshire
and many other counties.
Now. by the whlrllgig of fate. n San
Francisco citizen has become possessed
of one of the most valuable relics yet
discovered in connection with this old
established family, and which goes far
towards settling the disputed question
Of Washington's English ancestry. r.
Davis, who Is the curator of the Col.
lege of Physicians and Surgeons in
Fourteenth street, is the man who has
come into possession of this unique
find. His brother, Thomas Davis, is
the rector Of the parish Of Malmes-
bury, in Wiltshire. Two miles away Is
the little village of Garsdon, a mere
insignificant hamlet, important only as
having been the seat of a branch of
the Washington family.
The old manor house Is still in exist
ence. Here many generations of Wash
ingtons lived and flourlshed as good
old country squires. Their lands
spread far and wide, their farms were
rich, they were absolute lords of their
own domain. When they died they
were buried in the little parish church
yard hard by, where stood the stately
family tomb. And it Is the escutcheon
from this tomb, bearing the complete
family arms, which Mr.. Davis has Sc
cured.

The benevolent pauper would prob.

two plump sparrows which had just

that, as he could not satisfy his appe-
