Removal Of Thyroid Gland When He

New York.-In a sense, the doctors
in the Harlem hospital are trying to

six

suddenly find himself Henry, man of
40.
His father, Max Needleman, is a
tailor When Harry was six months
old he fell from his highchair and
landed on his head Drs. jacob and
Sachs operated on him and found il
necessary to remove his thyroid gland
The thyroid gland is an insignificant
looking anatomical object in the hu.
man trachea, the top Of the windpipe.
The most learned Psychologists do not
know precisely Why man is blessed
with the thyroid gland They suppose
rs function has something to do with
the blood and with the formation of
mucin which forms a large part of the
fluid which lubricatcs the mucous
membranes.
Anyhow after the chid's thyroid
gland was cXtirpated he grew very
slowly and remained extremely ad-

ciating with men. He has been at
school for ten years and is the despair
OF his teachers. His mother sent him
on an errand the other day. As he
was crossing Third avenue a wagon
hit him and tossed him few feet. His
face was cut badly aud an ambulance
took him to the Harlem hospital.
There Drs. Hcrrity, Bennett and
Mosher discovered that Harry had no
thyroid gland Studying him, mentally
and physically, they saw that he SUI
fered from crctinisn. a disease that is
found ottenest in Switzerland and
Savoy and such mountainous coun-
tries.
Persons who have cretinism. the
wise doctors say. are stunted in
growth; often have goitre a wrinkled
skin. pale complexion and a vacant
and stupid counteHance. And Harry
has most Of these symptoms.
So the Harlem hospital doctors are
trying 10 age" him. They are dosing
him with what nature does not sup
ply him, as he has no thyroid gland
They are giving him frequent five.

the thyroid glands of healthy sheep

hope that Harry will kick out the end
Of his crib one morning and exclaim

CAN NOT STAND UP
ALDERMAN WAGNER SATISFIES
HIMSELF THAT ALLEGED
DISCOVERY is WRONG.
Tries to Expose Sewer at Fourteenth
Street by Sinking Box-Com-
PEELED to Abandon
Project.

! II is not practicable to bore a holt
in water under circumstances uGlcl
which it must be done. if done AT all
! IL the broken sewer on Commercial
aycme is to be exposed and repaired
Chief Engineer MaGner, of the Cairo
| Water Co. has demonstrated this.
He has been at work with a gang of
men for several days on a caye-in at
| Fourteenth street and Commercial
avenue. similar To that at Fifteenth
street He thought ii worth while 10
act upon the suggestion of certain
corps of expert engineers who con-
duet laborate scientific experiments in
an establishment on Eighth street,
hut found yesterday that some mis-
take had been made. The water
which he struck in the ground at a
depth of about three feet, was just
ordinary water and it had the same
persistency that ordinary water has
always had-it refused to stand up
around a hole Mr. Magner tried in
every way to make il do so. he coaXed
an! pctted end urged and argued. he
drove grocvod plank into the earth
and tried TO hrild box, but this
could not be done without leaving an
opening for the sewer, and through
the opening left for the sewer the
water poured in also, in spite Of any
thing he could 10. AMI he was forced
TO acknowledge himself defeated. So.
yesterday afternoon he decided to
abandon this method. to drive sheet
piling in front of the opencing in the
sewer so as to stop the flow OF sip2
water. and earth into H. and let it go
at that until the rivers 70 down.
Mr. Magner expresses the belief
that the corps Of engineers in that
Eighth street establishment who
claimed to have solved the problem
IF boring a hole in water, must have
been experimenting with something
stronger than water.

TREES TO CHANGE CLIMATE.
Nine Million Acres Will Be Planted
for That Purpose.

London.--With reference to the big
scheme OF afforestation which Tho
British government proposed to take
In hand. partly as a remedy for unem
plOyment, it is pointed ont that the
planting of trees upon 100000 acres
of land will in some way or another
modify the climate of the British isles
Whether the change will be for the
better or worse is uncertain; but
change there Will be.
There are innumerable instances OF
forest destruction, few of replantation.
At Malta. when the trees were cut
down to make way for the growth OF
cotton, rain became rarer. The same
result from telling the timber occurred
The Cape Verde islands. On the
Island of St Helena, on the other
hand, with the increased growth of the
forests rain has increased proportion.
ately. the rainfall being twice what it
was when Napoleon resided there.
In lower Egypt rain formerly fell
very seldom. During the French occu
patton about 1889 it did not rain for
IS months, but since Mehemet Ali
and Ibrahim Pasha completed their
vast plantation - the former alone
planted more than 10000 900 olives, fir.
cotton, acacia, plane trees, etc.-there
now falls a good deal of rain.
The replanting of the waste spots is
likely to lead 10 more equable
climate In England; in Scotland to a
wettcr, in Ireland to a drier, because
the trees will certainly dry up the
bogs

IF YOU WOULD HAVE FRIENDS
Don't Annoy People by Comparisons
That Are Illuminating.

When you start in to say plain
things to anybody be sure to use plain
words aud not idioms. Never use fig
ures of speech when rebuking others,
for in time your helpful rebuke may
be forgotten. but the tang of the
biting figure will never be forgotten
and perhaps not forgiven. For ex-
ample, you might want to tell a con
sentative person he was not up to the
times in some particular matter, but
don't call him fossil--he would
never forget H. There is a good deal
IN name. Never call person a
crank-crank's a figure of speech.
Simply say You have en- odd way of
looking at things" This will please
as it suggests individuality. and not
eccentricity Or worse. Picturesque
language is only interesting when ap
piled TO things. People don't like it
when applied personally. People don't
like to be placed in a comical and
spectacular light. and that's where
picturesque language is apt to place
them. Whatever persons character
istics may be don't call him a mule,
or her zany The clearer the defiui-
ton the deeper the resentment. Better
not call people names, anyway-it
only arouses a LOT of feeling which is
SLOW to simmer down. Nothing an
noys a person more than to be called
some ridiculous name-it doesn't
seem to set well. In other words, use
plain verbs, and cut out the nouns
and adjectives. and you will not mako
many enemies.-Newark News.
