MEND BOYS BONES
WITH STEEL nail
Unique Operation Is Performed
on Charles Nelson's Arm by
Harlem Surgeons.

New Notwithstanding a broken arm
with q nail Is the extraordinary feat in
surgery which has just been performed
successfully by Harlem hospital sur
geons. 1t was "a plan resorted TO after
usual methods had failed n when the
case seemed to be hopeless. Now the
limb operated upon is al sound as ever

Charles Nelson, is years old. of No.
2614 Eighth ave, was injured in alight-
ing from a car on July II. The wrist
of his right arm broke with such a Sc
we're fracture that n bone Tapped over
another. j.. +.
Nelson was taken Immediately to the
Harlem hospital and the arm was
placed in q splint, but the bones did not
set. When he went back next day.
however, DIR. w. A. Hauboid, OF No. Is
West Forty-eighth st.. and DIR. John +.
Connors, OF No. pa West Seventy ninth
st., visiting surgeons. examined the boy
and resolved upon h novel method OF
treatment. DR.. Charles Ross, the house
surgeon, aided In the operation. The
lad was PUT under the influence OF ether
and an incision was made In the injured
arm, above the wrist joint.
What is called the shaft OF the bone
was then pried pen n the two over
tapping bones were set together. Mean
tapping bones were set together.
q steel nail ABOUT one ana a
half inches long had been carefully
sterilized and indicated. A wise OF
cotton and other material was made for
the arm, and with an ordinary hammer
the nail was driven into the head. pierre
ing both bones In much the same fash
ion as two boards would be fastened to-
gether. The splints were then replaced.
Nelson returned to the hospital yes
terday and 1T was found that his arm
was as strong as II had been before the
accident. A few minutes later the boy
was playing ball In the street.
There is nc record OF a similar case,
and forthcoming issue OF the surgical
journals will contain full accounts OF
the operation and it's result.

CRAB BRINGS GOLD
DOUBLOON TO HIM
That's Why J. R. Chard Believes
He Is Close to Hoard of an
Old Buecaneer Band.

Greenwich, Conn.,. r. Chard, q
wealthy resident of this town and next
door neighbor of T.. c. Benedict, and
who has been spending the month near
New Smyrna, Fla, believes he a
found the spot where a vast amount or
Spanish treasure is located, and Is now
carrying on operations for it's recovery.
While fishing a hort time ago he
landed q huge crab, sticking among the
claws of which he found a round cor
roded piece Of metal. Mr.. Chard scraped
the piece and discovered that it was o
Spanish doubloon bearing the date OF
1908.
Since then he has made search OF tho
traditions of the place and learned that
early in thu seventeenth century a band
OF Spanish buccaneers made its head
quarters near the place. He says the
doubloon must have come from the
near vicinity where he caught the crab,
because the creature could not have
gone far without the piece of metal
slipping from 1t.
Searching the bottom nearby, he
found what seemed to be a piece OF
metal stanchion of pre-revolutionary
make. He is so sure he Is on h track
Of q great discovery that he has ex-
tended his vacation by a month. and
says he will stay on the spot and spend
what money is necessary to make q
thorough search. .... "

rHE RARcocK TEST.
Chicago prover's journal.

chicago bTONcT . JOuTUdl.
Many farmers are Of the opinion that
the Babcock test Is very intricate and
hard to make and for that reason are
afraid to take 1t up. There Is nothing
mysterious or mystifying about It. 1t Is
very simple and any farmer can make
1T II he is equipped with bottles, acid and
the centrifuge. In the first place the test
Is the only method of determining the
worth of a COW for milk production, as
the value of the milk is mainly in the
amount Of butter fat 1t contains. The
more fat q COW gives the more profit
able she IL, but unless she is tested there
Is no knowing whether she IL making a
profit or is kept at a loss.
Not only does the Babcock test enable
the farmer and dairyman to weed out his
improbable animals, but 1t helps him
keep a check on his creamery man, pro-
tecting him against any attempt at jug
Cling Of figures. When once a farmer
realizes the full import of the test he
will not be slow to take It up. The outfit
Is not expensive and full directions are
given with each so that any one with
ordinary intelligence and willing to give
it a. little time and patience can easily
master all its details. The advantages
are well worth the time and cost.

DRESSING vEALs FOR SHIPPING

A Chicago commission man says:
Calves from three to six weeks old, and
weighing about 100 or say from 80 to 10
pounds, are the most desirable weights for
shipment. The head should be cut out, so
as to leave the hide of the head on the
skin. The legs should be cut at the knee
Joint. The entrails should all be removed,
excepting the kidneys; the liver, lights
and heart should be taken out. Cut the
carcass open from the neck through the
entire length-from head to bumgut. II
this is done they are not so apt to sour
and spoil during hot weather. Many a
fine carcass has spoiled In hot weather
because Of not being cut open. Don't
wash the carcass out with water. but
wipe out with a dry cloth. Don't ship TN
til the animal heat Is entirely out of the
body, and never tie the carcass UP in a
bag, as this keeps the air from %circulat-
ing and makes the meat more liable to
become tainted
It Is very essential that the directions
for dressing calves be followed, especially
in regard to letting the calves cool off
properly before shipping In hot weather.
as hundreds of calves are received In bad
order and sold for not much more than
charges, and some do not bring freight.
Numerous carcasses are also condemned
by the health officers. They should hang
up six to eight hours or over night in an
airy place to properly COOL on petore
shipping. S. ,... -.
Calves under so pounds should not be
shipped and are liable to be; condemned
by the health officers as being unfit for
| food. Merchants, too, are liable to be fined,
If found selling these slunks, for violation
of the law. Very heavy calves, such as
have been fed on buttermilk, never sell
well in our market-they are neither veal
nor beef.
Fasten the shipping tag, with your name
and address written plainly thereon, to the
hind leg.

The Shepherd Of King Admetus.

There came a youth upon the earth,
Some thousand years ago.
Whose slender hands were nothing worth,
Whether to plough. or reap, or SOW.
Upon an empty tortoise-shell
Music thai made mems kosoms swell
Fearless, or trimmed their eyes with
dew.
Then King Admetus, zone who had
Pure taste by right digipe.
Decreed his singing not TOO had
To hear between the cups OF wine:
And so, we'll pleased with belrE soothed
Into a sweet half-sleep.
Three times his kingly beard he smoothed,
And made him viceroy Ger his sheep.
His words were simple words enough,
And yet he used them so,
That what IN other mouths was rough
In his seemed musical and. low.
Men called him but a shiftless youth,
In whom no good they saw:
And yet, uuwittingly, In truth,
They made his careless words their law.
They knew not how he learned it all,
For idly, hour by hour,
He sat and watched the dead leaves fall,
Or unused upon a common flower.
It seemed the loneliness of things
Did teach him all their use,
For, in mere weeds, and stones, and
springs, .
He found a healing power profuse.
Men granted that his speech was wise,
But, when a glance they caught ..
OF his slim grace and woman's eyes,
They laughed. and called him good-for-
naught. .'.
/ Yet, after he was dead and gone.
And cen his memory dim,
Earth seemed more sweet to live upon,
More full OF love. because Of him.
And day by day more holy grew
Each spot where he had trod,
Till after-poets only knew
Their first-born brother as a god.

During breeding season stations should
be worked three Or four hours q day.
In training a young horse never shout
at him. Use the ordinary tone OF voice.

CHAPTER XXI.

Late, as / have heard, on the after

Ing between Oxford and Worcester
with the news of the queens death
caught sight OF the gateway tower at
Cotton End, which is plainly visible
from the road. Though he had. already
drunk that day as much ale as would
have sufficed him for a week when the
queen was well. yet much wants more.
He calculated he had time to stop and
taste the sources brewing, which he
judged, from the look of the tower,
might be worth his news, and he rode
through h gate and rallied at his nag
for stumbling.
Half way across the chase he met
Sir Anthony. The old gentleman was
walking out, with his staff in his hand
n his dogs behind him, to take the
air before supper. The man, while he
was still a hundred PAGES off, began to
wave his hat and shout something
which ale and excitement rendered un-
Ineligible.

thany to himself, and he stood still.

messenger, swaying in his saddle.
