Sewing Up Stabbed Heart.

A recent dispatch from Milan de-
scribed a wonderful surgical opera
ton there by DR.. Media A workman
had been murderously assaulted, a
knife in the hand of an assassin actu-
ally piercing his heart. He was at
tended by surgeons who cut way
through his breast to reach the
wounded heart. Three stitches were
required to close the wound, which
had almost entirely healed five days
after the operation.
To restore sight to the blind eyes Of
Wilton Heinard, of Washington, the
specialists at the Episcopal Eye, Ear
and Throat Hospital have grated the
transparent membrane of q Belgian
hare's eyeballs to Heinards eyes. The
most recent reports on this operation
indicate that it is going to DO sue
cess.
G.. A. Mccartney, young contractor
of Pasadena, has survived the unusual
experience of having his heart and

replaced. He was injured last June
by falling from bicycle upon the up

CARE OF THE HOME
BUSY MOTHERS SHOULD ENLIST
SERVICES OF CHILDREN
Be Awakened by Giving Them
Part of House to Care For

The busy mother, especially without
a servant, will find the proper care of
the home too much for her unless she
enlists the children as helpers, says
the Mothers Magazine. Let her begin
to practice systematics at once in this
case. Let her also call into play the
dawning sense of responsibility. AS
sign some particular corner or box OF
playthings to one child to be cared for.
Let there be a certain proprietorship
in this and develop pride in doing
the bit of work well. A small boy
might have the task of putting away
yesterdays newspapers, and do 1t
regularly, as his own special part in
keeping the house tidy and pleasant.
The formation of careful habits and
genuine relief to the mother will be
the double effect Of apportioning such
tiny tasks to the children.
The motive for doing these little
things well should be made promi-
nent. IT should not be thought of as
drudgery at all, but should be allowed
as an honor, showing that the child
is row big enough to help mother and
do things in the right way. Discrimi-
mating praise should be bestowed, not
as if it were anything astonishing and
out of the way Cor the little one to do
the work and do it well, but as token
of appreciation of the motive and the
manner Of doing it. Encourage as
much as possible, but do not develop
any vanity in the little one by pras-
ing everything done, or going to any
excess.
Let love be the handspring of every
little service

HAiRBRUSH is A NOVELTY.
Has Electrical Storage Battery At
tached to Back.

A novelty in the vanity line Is an
electrical hairbrush, which differs
from the ordinary electrical hairbrush
attached by cords to a battery in that
it has small storage battery attach
ed to the back of the brush, doing
away with the wires and separate bat
terry, and thus requiring but one hand
to manipulate it. The battery is de-
tachable and may be used for mas
sage movements for rheumatism, neu-
ralgia and the other ills which cleo
tricity is believed by some to allay.
It also has a sponge attachment for
concentrating the current on any part
of the body. The storage battery is
in a small nickel tube, easily handled,
and mas to be recharged every three
months. II comes in a leather box

IMPORTANCE OF THE BELL

With the departure of the col seler

attention, and is, as or yore capable

A very common mistake is found in

relied upon to pull a doubtful fit into

all that can jgstifiably be expected Of

to buy new kettle each season. A
new wooden spoon is better than an
old one which has probably been used
for stirring catsup, chilli sauce or
pickles. The wood retains the odor

Some Surgical MarveIs.
Philadelphia and Toledo, Ohio have
recently contributed to the list of
marvels Of surgery through operations
on the brains of incorrigible and men
tally defective boys. A still more re-
cent case is that Of Carl Fredericks,
aged nine years, of No. 200 Clinton
street, Hoboken. He is under observa-
ton at the Railway Reformatory prep
aratory to the practical reconstruction
Of his brain.
The doctors say the boys brain is
so peculiarly constructed that it pre-
vents him from being good for more
than an hour at time. The head is
OF abnormal shape, the skull coming
to point The ears are small and
protruding, and the eyes are as sharp
as ferrets.
Tests made few days ago showed
that the boy had no sense Of right or
wrong. This is attributed to an abb
normal brain growth. AS a result of
the operation, which includes the cut
ting out Of certain parts Of the brain,
1T is expected to relieve the boy of his
wicked tendencies and transform him
into model youth.

been described above. and recent de
