 ''rhe victims Of the recent blizzard thDt swept 'over the northern portion of that srate, killing thousands of lambs and number of cattle are now being found with the passing of the snDw.

THE BIXBYS' EXPERIMENT.
They Longed to Watch the Unfolding of the Infant Mind-Their
 Longing Appeased.

Mir. and Mrs. Bixby had been mar Tied ten years and the blessing Of ehii- dren had been denied them. fact that caused them deep regret, relates Lon don Tit-Bits. Mrs Bixby often said:
 ''It must be sweet and interesting to witness the unfolding and development of the infant mind
 "Ah. yes" said Bixby; "a child in the home must indeed be a well-spring of joy, sort of perpetual poem.
 It was soon after making these speeches that they went to an orphan asylum and adopted little Jaeky.' an interesting youth of about nine years.
 They hurried home with their prize, eager to witness the unfolding of the juvenile mind.
 It began to unfold and develop before he had been ten minutes in the house. Latent and unsupported as well as un- desired tendencies began to manifest themselves in Bixbys perpetual poem.
 Before a week Bixby had changed his mind about child in the house being a 'wel-spring of joy" At the end of six weeks Bixby trans ferred the boy and all his right to a farmer who was on a hunt for per petual poems" out of which he might make Sood blow boys.
 Bixby thought Jacky was just the boy the farmer wanted. lie had formed this opinion from the unfolding he had witnessed of Jacky's young mind and the development of six weeks.
 In summing up his losses afterwards BiXby said to a friend:
 T wouldn't have one of these things in the house again for five pounds q week. If l thought I'd ever have one Of my own now I'd go and take poison ! and Mrs. BiXby would drown herself 1 That boy had for six weeks didn't 1 leave whole piece of furniture in the | house.

Golf Players Left Shoulder

The right shoulders of persistent
golfers coats have to be padded, for
golf develops the left shoulder so alb
normally that, without this padding,
the young men would look little de-
formed.
In driving the players right arm and
shoulder only guide the balls course.
It is the left arm and shoulder that do
the work; hence the excessive left side
development, to counteract which it is
sometimes necessary to put in the
right shoulder Of the coat padding an
inch deep.
Tailors can always tell a golfer by
this peculiar development of his left
shoulder. Sometimes young women
play enough to get uneven shoulders
too. The deformity, though, is rare
among young women, whereas among
young men it is common.-Louisvi1lc

NERVE SPLICING.
One Of the Great Achievements OF
:. Modern Surgery.

One Of the Great Achievements Of
Modern Surgery.
Nerve splicing, or restoring dead
nerves to life, is one of the latest
achievements of surgery. And, though
the process is still in its infancy, it is
believed In medical circles that the op-
GRAFTON will one day become as CON-
mon as trepanning. Three cases have
already resulted in perfect success.
The cure for paralysis and palsy is
brought about by means Of this proc
ess. In the case Of young children pal
sy IS brought about by SOME accident
Of birth which congresses the nerves
which radiate from the spinal cord
and II in the upper part Of the body
produces paralysis in the arms. The
technical name for this disease is
birth palsy
Paralysis in old people or those adj
vanc1ng in years is sometimes due to
this accident, though it more usually
comes from the decay of the principal
nerve.

such success that the patients are as
well as the most anxious mother could
wish. DR.. Clark, one of the operating
physicians, has recently explained be-
fore an audience Of medical men ak
actly how the operation is performed.
The nerves which supply motion to the
affected limbs are severed from as
close to the spinal cord as possible
and then grated to the nearest trunk
line. If no complications arise in course
Of time the delicate threads unite, and
the paralyZed parts take on fresh life
Naturally the operation is exceedingly
difficult, because the nerves which ra.
date from the upper part of the spinal
cord are so great in number and cross
and recross each other in so complex a
manner. Another difficulty lies In the
fact that anaesthedcs must be used
sparingly, for the longer the patient is
under their influence the harder it is tt

London Residences.

London as place of residence seems
as if it would soon resemble the city,
once a busy center Of gayety and life.
now used only for business purposes
and as silent as the grave by night.
Year by year it becomes more difficult
to let town houses. The suburbs en-
croach on the city and stretch for wea
ry monotonous miles, while Brighton,
Eastbourne, Windsor and other minor
towns find a mushroom population
growing up round them, people who in
old days would have lived in London.
And with all this rents do not go
down, and the ordinary householder
whose business forces him to remain
in London finds it even more difficult
to make both ends meet. 49, London

Thirty Thousand Dry Goods Stores.
In the United States there are about
