NEW THING IN SURGERY
Kidney Removed. Examined With
X-ray and Put Back.

New York, Jan 24.-An operation
with an unusual feature has been per-
formed at Roosevelt hospital. A pa
tient had been suffering for some time
with stone in the kidneys. The exact
location of distinctions of this sort
is some times determined by the X-ray
before the etherizatiOn of the patient
The surgeon in charge of the case de-
cided yesterday to find the stone which
was very small by putting the organ
to the rays after taking it out of the
body.
The patient. after being etherized was
laid face downward. A sweep of the
knife over the affected part revealed the
kidney Within a minute the surgeon
had the kidney out as far as he could
get it ready. He held it in his hand
and with the Horoscope found the al
most microscopic stone to which the
lance opened a channel. A moment
later the forceps gripped the little stone
and the attending doctors We're inspect
ing it.
Within about seven minutes after the
first stroke of the knife the kidney had
been put back in place and the lips of
the slit in the back sewn together. Fiji
teen minutes later the patient was back
in his room.
The operation is said to be one of the
first in which an affected organ has been
searched by X-rays after removal from
the body Its quickness and thorough
ness. it was said by a doctor present
same doctor said he did not see why the
liver or some other vital organs could
not be examined in the same thorough
manner. The operation seemed to him
TO presage splendid possibilities in sur
gerry.

Therefore, if the moon becomes full
upon the day on which spring begins
the Sunday after the next full moon
Is. of course, indicated by the direc-
lions of the Council as Easter day
And if the moon becomes full on
Sunday, the next Sunday, similarly
must be Easter day.
Naturally the most magnificent and
imposing celebration of Easter is that
which takes place in ST. Peters at
Rome
The ceremony of observation is
ushered in by a peculiar feature
known as 1.-The silencing of the BELLS
After the closing of the services in
the famous Sistine Chapel on the
Thursday evening preceding the
dawn of Good Friday, the order is
given that until stated hour on Eas-
ter eve, no bell shall sound. While
the rule originally was made to apply
only to ST. Peters and to the Vatican,
the residents of Rome accepted it, and
until very recent date even the bells
usually sounded to call people to
their meals were silent. To-day in
Montreal and in Quebec the custom
H.
children ask their parents why the
bells do not ring, the customary an
swer is, THE bells have gone to
Rome
On the morning of Easter day the
Pope himself officiates at mass in
st. Peters. Seated on the sedia ges-
tatoria, and wrapped in his most mag
nificent vestments. the Pope is car
ried from the adjoining palace of the
Vatican into the great church. On his
head he wears the holy crown typify-
ing the union in him of all temporal
and spiritual power. Beside him are
borne the f1abella or fans of ostrich
feathers, in which are set the eye-like
parts of peacock's feathers, signifi-
cant of the eternal vigilance of the
Church.
After officiating at mass the pope
Is borne back through the church to
the sound of music, and ascends to
the balcony over the great central
doorway From that lofty point he
pronounces the papal benediction upon
the thousands who with bowed heads
or uplifted faces. according to wheth-
er they be of the faith or not, crowd
the vast church below.
The celebration of Easter at Rome
concludes with the illumination of
the great dome of St Peters, which
is crusted with thousands of lights
At dusk one by one they appear until
at last they all burn against the pur-
pie Italian sky-a gigantic ball of
fire.

Russian year; SO for weeks before

hand every one is busy with the sort
OF preparations which people in
America make before Christmas. A
gift, be it only gaily colored egg, is
almost obligatory, though all gifts are
known as eggs" The grand feature
of the day is, of course, the church
service. In fact, the church festivals
are also the national festivals of Rus
STA. and almost every function in
court or private life begins with a re-
ligious service of some sort. About the
only exception to this rule are balls
and theatrical spectacles. The matin
begins at midnight and is followed by
the liturgy. The usual service in the
middle of the morning is omitted, and
most people are in their beds recover
ing from the open-eyed night. Natur-
ally, the most magnificent celebration
Is at the cathedral of the Winter Pal
ace in St Petersburg, where the pres
ence of the emperor, empress and all
the court in full dress and uniforms
adds to the magnificence of the SER
vice as spectacle. There the begin
ming of the service is the passing of
the procession of priests through the
long suites of rooms in the Palace in
their ceremonial search for the dead
fruitless search they find the doors
closed and fastened, but they open
swiftly at the announcement, Christ
is risen!''
AT this service the empress and her
ladies and the grand duchesses and
their ladies all wear the picturesque
national costume adopted by Gather
inc H. as the court dress 1t consists
of train and deco1lete bodice of vel
vet with an apron front of white
satin The long, angel sleeves are
also lined with satin The coronet-
shaped head-dress, common alike to
the ladies of the court in the ancient
days of the cars at Moscow and to
the peasant maids of the present day.

press and grand duchesses this coro-
net is made of diamonds or priceless
jewels; the veil which falls softly
from it is of equally priceless lace.
and the gown is of any hue of velvet
silk or satin they may prefer. and
the wedding and coronation gowns
are of cloth and silver adorned in
any manner they elect For the court
ladies certain colors and designs are
prescribed, and the coronet or kokosh-
mix, is of velvet to match, while the
veil is of plain tul1e. The empress
ladies in waiting for instance, wear
dark green velvet embroidered with
a prescribed pattern in gold The
maids of honor wear scarlet velvet
with a simpler design The ladies at
tached to the courts of the various
grand duchesses wear the liveries of
their several courts.-The Pilgrim
