New Noses For Old.
COMMUNICATIONS


The last achievement that / have
seen Of this ingenious surgeon Lexer
was reported to the German Surgical
Congress in April, 1908. Most OF
my readers are familiar with the fact
that when patient, through disease
or accident, has lost his nose, a new
one can be made for him. This is a
very ancient operation. The new
nose is usually made by cutting fan
from the forehead, leaving 1t attached
by footstalk between the eyebrows.
This flap is then twisted on its foot
stalk and sewed in place. But it has
serious disadvantages. Sometimes
the twist in the footstalk is too tight.
this congresses the blood vessels and
the flap becomes gangrenous. In that
case not only has the patient lost his
nose, but he is left with face dis
figured by a great scar in the middle
Of his forehead. Even if the ATTEMPT
to give him new nose is success.
the scar on the forehead always tells
the story, and, moreover, the new
nose, udNlu6 uO UOnCs 10 AdODy and
unsightly. Lexer records a case
which is not only surprising, but one
may say also amusing. Having pa
tient requiring new nose, and hav-
ing amputated leg for some disease
which did not involve the thigh bone.
he took bit of the lower end of this
thigh bone, whitfield it into the shape
Of nose, and bored out two nostrils
In it. He then made an incision in
the skin of the forearm of the pa
tient, loosened the skin to some ex-
tent from the underlying muscles,
placed the new bony nose under the
skin and closed the wound. After
three months, when the skin gif the
forearm had become firmly attached
to the bony nose, which was only a
temporary tenant of his forearm, the
skin and the new bony nose were cut
out in one piece and transplanted to
the face. This gave the patient a
good, firm, bony nose, which at the
same time was covered with the
healthy skin of the forearm, and
avoided any disfguring scar on the
forehead.-Dr. w. w. Keen, in Har-
per's Magazine.

A True story,


The old lady who was in the habit
of looking under the bed for burglars
every night after many years actually
found one, armed to the teeth, with
dark lantern, jimmy, and all the bur"
glars stock in trade. The old lady.
after careful scrutiny of the armed
villain, addressed him with a bright
rather pleased voice as follows:
ooh, there you are, are you? why
l have been looking for you Ior
years"
The desperate made no responses
establishment disarmed him more Ell
fectually than any weapon could have
done. He crawled from under the
bed, skunk out of the room, down
stairs, and out of the house, and the
old lady, quite happy, got into her
bed and went to sleep.--Strand Mag
szine.

Gertrude had always felt bit con-

night. she was different being. In
stead OF fearing the responsibilities
that would be hers as the wife OF a
rich man, it seemed perfectly natural
that she should accept without doubt
the proposal she had dreaded, even
while she longed to hear the avowal
OF love.
The last guest had departed and
Gertrude was already dreaming hap

BURGLAR A

About Ii to the
Police.

Peter Naval, a youth of seventeen
years, is held at the police station
charged with committing most of the
burglaries about town during the last
wear. He has confessed his guilt to
Chief of Detectives Leal and much Of
his loot has been recovered.
The young burglar has been employ
ed as usher at the Art Theater for a
couple of months, and has been using
this employment as blind. Suspicion
was aroused by small circumstance.
Some tickets were missed from the of
fee and they were found in Naval 8
clothes. Attention being thus directed
to him, it was noticed that he was
wearing very fine clothes for a boy
who only earned small wages. He was

as was Mrs. Birmingham S police whis-

counters were also found Captain
Riley's revolver was recovered from a
native boy to whom Naval had loan
ed it.
Frank Mcintyre s nugget had been
melted and sold, and his diamond soli-
taire had been removed from the pin
and sold to the Chinaman. The police
also found a very fne-looking ward
robe in the room. Naval has been
huying the best clothes from leading
clothing dealers He was one of the
best-dressed Hawaiians on the Hotel
street Rialto. He says he bought some
of the clothes with money he stole and
some of his wardrobe was bought by
his father.
Naval has figured in police annals
before. 4 year or So ago, just about
the time Makiki residences were being
entered, Naval was caught almost IN
the act of stealing from room in
Kakaako Then another case turned
up and he was sent to prison for about
nine months.
