Eoo Membrane for Skin GRATING

Weeks Progress: The surgeon in th
charity hospital in New Orleans, believing
that the membrane of eggs would do just
as well as skin to replace the destroyed
skin, resolved to try it, as it could not pos
sibly do any harm il the experiment were
not Il success. He accordingly broke an
egg and poured out the contents. Then
he carefully removed the membrane which
separated the white and yolk from the
shell and placed this membrane on parts
of an mprovised arm. The wound was
washed with normal salt solution, a wet
dressing applied and the arm was ban
daged. A few days afterward the surgeon
decided to look at the arm and see what
the results were. The bandage was re-
moved. and the results were as he hoped
they would be- He immediately sent for
more eggs and the same operation was
performed on other parts OF the arm till
the entire wound was covered. 1t is about
twelve inches long and three inches wide.
To cover this with the membrane of eggs
taken in small pieces. required patience
and dcxterity; but the surgeon saw his
first attempt was success, and he want
ed the skin to grow back on the arm with
out grating.

Our Schools and Colleres.

There seems to be an Increased IN
tereet taken in the cause of education
by the people of the State this year.
All the colleges of the State were
taxed beyond their capacity to &C.
commodate the students who knock
ed at their doors for admittance at
their opening.

ed with 130 boarders. The domitory
of the College of Charleston has been
greatly enlarged yet it will be
taxed to it's utmost capacity to &C.
commodate the students. At the
Presbyterian college at Clinton, there
was very large increase over the
first enrolment last year. The Darl-
ineton graded school opened with
500 pupils enrolled. There was q
100 per cent. increase in the Chester
graded schools. There was a large
increase in the other graded schools
of the State over last years enroll
ment. The enrolment at Due West
was l54 against Ill last year. Wof-
ford college opened with greatly in
creased attendance and The same can
be said of New berry. All the female
colleges are in very Furnishing
condition and are also taxed to their
utmost TO accommodate students.
All this goss to show that our
people are beginning to awaken to
the necessity Of educating their sons
and daughters to better equip them
for the great battle of life and are
determined to do their part toward
the accomplishment of this end. 1t
also shows that our State and people
are in q better financial condition
than they have ever been before.
