His Heart Sewed Up.

negro is in Roosevelt hospital,
New York city, with four stitches in
his heart. He has recovered from the
operation, but is seriously i'll with pneu-
monla. he is. however, expected to
live.
The patient ON whom the unusual OPP
Grafton of sewing up the heart was per-
formed is William johnson, 80 years
old, who was taken to the hospital aft
ef being stabbed in saloon scrap. 4
long, thin knife severed the fourth rib
and entered the heart.
The house surgeon, DIR. Dwight, sent for
DIR. Joseph A. Blake of Col Madison
avenue. Johnson was placed on the
operating table. DIR. Blake performed
the operation, with the assistance of
DIR. Dwight.
An incision was made along the up
per border of the third rib from the
sternum to the nipple line. then down
ward TO the lower border of the fifth rib
then to the right to the sternum again.
When this cut had been deepened to
the ribs and the third and fifth ribs sew
cred the result was sort of a trap
door. This was raised and turned back
ON the sternum. the costal cartilage act
ing as the hinge.
When the pleura was thus exposed
the left lung collapsed-an occurrence
which is largely responsible for the
pneumonia. A pint of blood was found
in the cavity, and small wound in the
pericardium, or casing of the heart
showed where the blood had come from.
The surgeons then opened the pericar-
dunn and found a wound in the heart
itself. 1t was cut half an inch long
in the right ventricle close to the ante
rior coronary artery. At every beat of
the heart little stream of blood squirt
ed from the cut to height of 4 inches.
The wound extended to the central cav
ity of the heart.
Grasping the heart in the hand to
steady 1t, four stitches with silk thread
We're taken. the sewing extending entire
~ through the wall of the heart. Then
the pericardum was sewed up, and the
trap door" closed and sewed in placed.
This was eight days ago. The heart
has healed entirely and there has been
no further bleeding from the wound.
There has been no sign of blood poison-

And caught our breath away
We struggled down the clustering street,
And through the swinging gate:

PELICAN WEATHER.
Santa Barbara People Forecast Storms
with Aid of a Big Bird.

Tin H1AA VI a Dig DlIO.
Santa Barbara has a living barometer.
No need for the residents of that quiet
| little city TO remember the date of the
rainy season or to consult the mercury
IN the glass tubes. Neither is there nee
essity for weather bureau or a district
forecaster.
All they have to do if they want TO
know it there is going to be a storm is
70 stop for moment at Mr.. Larco's as
tley pass down State street and ask him
i Jack has returned. If the well-known
flsil dealer answers in the affirmative
they prepare for a rainy day.
Jack is an enormous pelican, captured
three years ago by some fishermen on the
islands that may be plainly seen few
miles out in the ocean from Santa Bar
para. A fish hook covered with a small
smeit was the means of bringing Jack
and the fishermen together.
The hook was carefully extracted and
the large water fowl fed with numberless
small nsh TO keep him content and good
natured until his captors landed He
was taken to Mr. Larco's and there for
SIX months of the year at least he makes
his home
As the society columns would put it.
Jack winters in Santa Barbara Six
months of the year lie lives on the is
lands or takes short trips, but always
-efore STERN he comes home.
He never miscalcuiates. In fact, Mr..
LARGO considers his feathered barometer
50 infallible that he never ventures far
out on the ocean in his fishing boats aft
er Jacks return.
When Jack first arrived at Mr.. Larco's
IN charge of the fishermen he was de-
lighted to meet there a first cousin of
his, fresh water pelican by the name
OF jim. Jim had accepted Mr.. Larco's
hospitality for many years and was so
content with his home that he rarely
ventured more than few blocks away
a freight train crew had found him at
Saugus,- short distance from Santa
Barbara, with his wing crippled. Unable
TO fly, Jims capture was easy, and the
crew brought him to Santa Barbara and
offered to sell him to Mr.. LARGO.
just for whim the fish dealer bought
him. had his wing treated, and Jim soon
became well known and much es-
teemed resident of the pretty town.
AT first he refused to be coaxed to eat,
but one day he was persuaded to try
some small live smelts. whose suuirms
he concluded would certainly tickle his
palate. So he opened his bill, not unlike
a hamper. and the fishermen filled it
very much in the same way that they
would pack a basket
jim found the process so delightful and
at the same time such heathful one
that he soon grew very friendly and well.
and 1t was not long before he con-
sidered himself sufficiently recovered to
look about the town a bit-New York

MARRIAGE LAWS

FOUR WIVES ARE PERMITTED, BUT
IT is THE PRESENT FASHION
TO STOP AT ONE
EASY TO SECURE A DIVORCE.
Question of Dowry Forms Essential Part
of Marriage Contract-The
Brides Trousseau.
WOMEN FAVORED BY NEW LAWS.

: Marriage and divorce in eastern
countries are subjects on which west
ern people have the vaguest and often
the most incorrect ideas. For the
average American, therefore, there
will be many surprises in an article
published in The North American Re-
view and dealing with Mohammedan
marriage and divorce.
That the facts given are authentic
should be proved by the position of
the author, George S. Batcheller, who
is associate justice of the interna-
tional court of appeals o Egypt.
In the first place, says Mr.. Batchel-
Ter, marriage is almost universal
among the Mohammedans. There are
no old maids, and very rarely cocot-
ties in the ordinary aceoptation of the
