BISHOP MAKES APPEAL
FOR MISSIONS IN BRAZIL

TIE neglect Of mission work in Brazil
was the subject OF a sermon delivered
yesterday by Bishop LUcien L. Kinsolv-
ing. OF the Diocese Of Southern Brazil,
at St Michael and All Angels Church.
The text was taken from St John, KID
After speaking of how Christ. though
His life was an active. busy one, new
ertheless always gave His chief thought
and attention to the torn and bleeding
sheep on the mountain side rather than
TO the ninety and nine that were safe,
Bishop KinSOlving pointed out to th5
congregation that in every act Of His
life Christ en1Oined those who followed
Him 10 DO mission work. Turning to
Brazil. he told of the conditions there.
Mission work there had been deplOrably
neglected o. all save the Roman Cath
Oiics. he said. which neglect, he thought,
was due more to Ignorance of the con-
ditiOns and needs of Brazil than any
thing else. Everywhere that mission
work had been done II was met with
responsiveness by the people Of all
classes.

GROWS ON AGAIN
Girl Regains Her TresSes
Through an Operation.
HAIR CAUGHT IN SHAFTING
Two Hours Elapsed Between Accident
and Beginning of Surgeons
Ministrations.

NEW YORK. Feb. 29-Charlotte Will
liston, OF East 18th Street. has passed
through the painful and unusual ex-
perience Of having regained her scalp
after It had been torn from her skull
and had remained entangled in the ma
chinery Of a mill for nearly two hours
after she was removed to the hospital.
Surgeons and physicians are watching
the case with much interest and say
there are few such cases on record.
Miss Wnliston is eighteen years old
and was employed by the International
Manufacturing Company, at 137th Street
and Willow Avenue. She is a slender
girl and had an abundance of brown
hair. On the morning Of February Il,
while arranging her hair one Of the
braids came in contact with a rapidly
revolving shaft. and in an instant she
was drawn against a guard that pro-
tected the shaft and her entire scalp
was torn from her skull. Not a hair
was left on her head.
Two Hours Delay.
While many Of the other girls in the
factory tainted Miss Williston pluckily
gave directions 70 have an ambulance
called. and after much delay she was
removed to the Lincoln Hospital and
Home at 14Ist Street and Southern
Boulevard. DR.. J F. G Foster, the
house physician. telephoIed to the fac
tory to have the scalp found and de-
hvered at the hospital at once. The
message was not promptly delivered,
and the excitement among the employees
was so great that nearly two hours
elapsed before the scalp was in the
hands Of the physician.
DR.. Foster quickly cut away the hair
from the scalp. thoroughly cIeansed it
in a salt solution, and replaced IT on
the girls head. Then il was made Sc
cure with silk sutures. During all this
painful operation the young woman re
fused TO take an anaeSJhetic. When
the scalp had been properly replaced a
force Of nurses was set at work con
stantly applying hot cloths to the head
20 maintain a normal temperature.
New Hair Growing.
This treatment was kept up for thirty
six hours. when hot dry cloths were APP
piled. At the end Of fOrty-eight hours
the young woman was conscious OF
slight feeling in the scalp After sixty
hours had elapsed she could feel the
prick Of a needle at any point Six
days after the operation new hair be-
gan 10 grow, and the physicians were
satisfied that the operation would prove
successful

Where Justice Hats.

Describing some Of the difficulties
attending the administration Of JUS
tice in Nigeria, a British officer says
"The cases tried by judicial officers
are often puzzling. How, for instance
shall an officer trained in British ideas
of law deal with the case OF man
who confesses with full conviction ana
sincerity that he is guilty of trans
forming himself into an alligator or
hyena and devouring the children OF
his neighbors? Common report may.
in a second case, accuse a man OF
witchcraft or murder; the local chief
is appealed to, to test his crimfnality
by the poison ordeal. He dispatches;
his messenger to administer it; the
accused perhaps dies, but all are con-
vinced that he ran no risk If he were
innocent. Who is to be convicted?
The inflexible logic Of British-made
law lacks elasticity to deal with such,
cases."

The SONGS of the Wind.

O listen to the battle-song of the wind,
In the wild of a winter night,
When the shutters bang and the tree
tops bend,
And the mock-bird's hushed in fright;
For he's pirate black. and a pirate bold,
And a spirit wild and free
A heartless knave for the boarded gold
Of the ragged forestry.
o listen to the wooing-song Of the wind,
In the ear. of the meek-eyed May,
When the violets bloom and the roses
blush,
And the wood-nymphs join in play;
For he's a lover mild and a lover true
An Apollo Belvidere-
The gentlest knight beneath the blue,
A wandering "Beaucaire."
listen to the sleepy-song Of the wind,
In the time of the sweltering heat,
When the daisies shy and the marigolds
Hide in the waving wheat;
For he's lazy man and man of rest
A gentleman of ease
A loiterer, without zeal or zest,
Just living in the trees.
listen to the crooning-song Of the
winds,
In the time of the dreary fall.
When the sere-brown leaves and the sad
voiced streams
Give heed to the death-day's call;
sad:
And sympathizer deep,
Whose tickle heart isn't wholly bad.
Since he weeps with those who weep:
