Egg Membrane for Skin Grating.

The surgeon in the Charity hospital in
New Orleans. believing that the mem
b1ant nf eggs woald do just as we'll as
skin to replace the destroyed skin. re-
solved TO try it. as it could hot possibly
do amy harm if the experiment were not
a success He accordingly broke an egg
and poured out the contents. Then he
carefully removed the membrane which
separates the white and yolk from the
she'll and placed this membrane on parts
of an improyised arm. The wound was
washed with normal salt solution, Il wet
dressing applied and the arm was ban
daged. \ few days afterward the sur
Seon decided to look at the arm and see
what the results were. The bandage was
removed 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 dexterity: but the
surgeon saw his first attempt was a sue

play that Barrymore himself had writ

rymore had read the play seemed much
impressed. Before their interview had
ended. it had been decided to give the
piece an early production and to have
Barrymore do the leading role. About
week after what Barrymore had sup
posed was the definitely agreed upon ar
rangement had been reached, the actor
received a note from the manager ask

said:

going to give it a fine productions but,
really, | don't see how | can use you in
the cast. Your beastly American accent

A really curious question has been
raised by the Boston Herald. Why, it
asks, does Il Maine man always speak of
his part Of the country as the state of
Maine instead of calling it simply
"Maine," as New Yorker would say
"New York or NebraSkan Ne
braskaF' As an adequate answer to the
inquiry it says: maine was not one Of
the original states. but up TO 1922 was a
part of Massachusetts. 1t was then
known as the District of Maine. In 1920
Maine achieved her independence and be-
came separate state of the Union.

ONE MANS FOOD is ANOTHER'S
POISON.

Thomas \. Edison, the inventor,
whose father lived ninety'four years,
his grandfather lo2 years and his
great-grandfather lO4 years and who,
as matter Of course, possesses an
exceptional constitution, has been
talking Interestingly about diet, sleep
and work, He tells MS that he lived
for months on twelve ounces Of food
a day, and as for work and sleep, he
has worked five days and five nights
consecutively without closing his eyes.
and then after a good nap felt as
fresh as ever. The conclusion he
draws Is that everybody eats and
