ONE THOUSAND PIECES OF SKIN
Grated Upon the Legs Of Young
Woman to Heal Sores,

DR. Frank A. Elmes has just dis
charged as cured patient who has
been one of the most interesting cases
reported in Derby for many years,
About two years ago Miss Katie Neb'
DO was seriously burned from her hips
downward by the explosion of a kero-
sene stove, which scattered burning
oil over her. The case attracted q
good deal of attention at the time of
the accident which happened in
Camptown. The oil stove had been
placed on regular cook stove and a
fire was built in the cook stove, the
women in the house forgetting that
the oil stove was on the other. The
heat caused the oil stove to explode.
and the burning oil flew all over the
room and set fire to the house. Miss
Nebbo and her sister were in the room
and were frightfully burned, and the
burns were so deep that it seemed i'm
possible for her to recover. She was
treated and seemed to improve, but
the burns became running sores and
it seemed TO be impossible TO get the
flesh to heal. Among the physicians
called TO treat the. young woman was
ID Zines, and he began grating skin
on the flesh. He continued this work
until he went abroad to study and
other physicians took it up, and since
his return he has been treating the
girl the same way. Over one thou
sand pieces of skin have been graft
ed upon the girls legs. The skin has
been taken from other parts Of the
girls body. from her mother and from
her brother and the treatment has
been so successful that now the flesh
has healed and the skin has grown
over il. The burns on the girls legs
were SO deep. however, that she will
probably be a cripple as one foot is
drawn so that she can walk oily on
the toes.
The pieces Of skin used in the treat
ment of the injuries have beet tiny.
not much larger than the point OF n
lead pencil. Each time the injuries
were dressed the flesh had to be pre-
pared. and these tiny pieces Of skin
removed from the one who was Civ
ing IL. laid upon the injury, and
smoOthed out and then bound down
tightly. The large number Of trans
planted pieces Of skin makes the case
an unusual one.

CROWS FoRETELL SNOW.
Before Every Storm Birds Hold Con-
vention at East Hampton.

East Hampton, Feb. 22.-"It's go
ing to snow tomorrow" remarked
Mrs Eliza Golf to her sons as she hur.
ried into the house Tuesday. and al.
though bright sunlight without. and
not cloud to be seen, Mrs Cor has
a way of foretelling snow storm
Near the house is large pasture and
just before storm 1t is the meeting
place of dozens of crows who appear
to come from far and near. They
seem to form a circle, while one OF
two of the larger and apparently old,
er crows take charge Of the meet
in"
These leaders talk long and loud
and occasionally they all join In as
though applauding the remarks OF
the wise ones and after about SC
much cawing and tapping of wings
the congregation of black rascals rises
and separates, going to their homes
in the various parts OF the woods
Just why they should congregate In
this manner and in this particular
lot is not known and what they talk
of is perhaps a mystery but some pre-
sumo to think they lay plans at these
conventions for securing food when
snow covers the ground.
Be that as 1t may. Mrs Goff has
kept an accurate record and never
yet has snow failed to fall within IL
hours OF such meetings.

capable management. says a writer
in the New England Homestead. We
mean by this no excuse for its bad
politics, but we refer to the ability
with which its employees and officials
conduct the work of the various de-
partments of that corporation. IL
every cooperative effort among
farmers or other people had had it
daily work managed with the same
relative ability that the Standard Oil
employs, the history of cooperation
would he one of triumphant success
instead of record of dismal fail
ures. However much the Standard
may be criticised in its relations to
the public, the ability of it's business
management as such is striking
object lesson in associated effort.

OUR TRAMP PROBLEM.
Estimated to Be Half Million Year
ly, Beating Railroads.

What the size of the tramp arE'.
is no one can tell, but vague idea
of its magnitude can be guessed
from the fact that the number OF
trespassers killed and injured on
American railroads from the year
1901 to the year 1905, inclusive, OF
which it is estimated that at least
two-thirds were tramps--amounted
to 10000; just thirteen times more
than the number of passengers and
more than the combined total oil
passengers and trainmen killed and
injured during the same period.
Some one has estimated that ii
the number of Migrants on the road
Is in the same proportion to the
number of Migrants killed as the
number of trainmen on the road is
In proportion to the number of train
men killed. there must be more than
half a million tramps every year.
The annual loss to railroads through
the destruction of property by
tramps has been loosely estimated by
Major J. G. Panghorn of the Balti-
more and Ohio as something like
s12.500,000.
All this represents a tremendous
cost TO society. The tramp who is
injured on the railroad usually be-
comes a public charge for the rest of
his life, and the tramp who is con-
siderate enough to permit himself
TO be killed outright has TO be
buried either by the railroad or by
the county, town or state In which
he loses his life.
And these things are only a part
of what it costs us to maintain our
national joke. Supervisor S. X.
Estabrook. of the Wayfarers Lodges,
in Philadelphia, estimates that
tramps, when they are not on the
road being fed and lodged by farm
ers and railroads, spend one-third
of their time in almhouses. one-third
in houses of correction. and OF e.
third in missions and lodging houses,
whose rates are so low that the price
of a bed can readily be begged on
the street. At the approach of win
ter the jails which impose no labor
on their prisoners are taxed to their
capacity to accommodate the sudden
food Of petty malefactors who seem
TO be hurting themselves into the
arms of the law. In the summer
such members OF the eonstitutionally
fatigued brotherhood as are not in
the country begging their way. ard
incidentally rendering the highways
unsafe for women and children. are
In the city occupying the parks as
lodgings and incidentally uniting
the park benches for use BY any ole
but themselves. - Frances MauIe
Bjorkman, in the American Review
of Reviews.

An extraordinary spectacle is
being presented in the senate where
Mr. Aldrich is crowding through hi
financial bill. Almost no republican
is saying a word. Everything is
being left to Aldrich and it is freely
admitted on the republican side that
the senator from Rhode Island is
the only man who really understands
the financial question. Democratic
senators are daily attacking the bill,
but of course with a membership of
only one-third of the senate they can
accomplish nothing, and especially /.
this true when some of that third
seem TO be more in sympathy with
Mr. Aldrich than with their col
leagues on the democratic side of
the chamber.

children would inherit his position, he
might feel possibly Indifferent as to
those under his command, but the
children of those who, today, work for
wages may employ b children of
those who, in this generation, are en-
ployers. This uncertainty as to future
should lead us to make the govern
ment as nearly perfect as possible, for
a good government is the best legacy
that a parent can leave to his child.
Riches may take the wings of the
morning and fly away, but govern
ment is permanent, and we cannot
serve posterity better han by contri-
buting to the perfection of the govern
ment, that each child born into the
world may feel that it has here an op-
portunity for the most complete devel-
epment,and a chance tosseeure, through
