Kinds Of Enteric Diseases.

A well-known encyclopedia authori-
ty states that the name Of James
Marion Sims deserves a place as an
inventive genius among the great
surgeons of the world" II was Sims
who, about the middle of the last cen
fury. substituted silver wire for silk
and other sutures. first making this
daring experiment in a peculiar and
hitherto incurable disease. and then
extending the use of metallic sutures
to general surgery.
For some time he had been making
a study OF the hitherto incurable NAL
ady. He knew that the common silk
suture would be eaten away by acids
before the wound made by an opera
ton could heal; it was this fact that
made the disease incurable. He was
puzzling over this apparently insur-
mountable obstacle one day when he
walking about the streets of Mont
gomery. Ala, where he made his
great experiment. when he saw
hairpan of the common black wire
variety lying upon the sidewalk. In

soon the three were cutting and sew

pair remained at the cottage until
dusk, leaving behind them great bas-
ketful of gay carpet balls and sub
stantial evidence OF we'll wishes. AS
the Washingtons drove away home,
George expressed himself we'll pleased
with the way in which he had spent
his birthday.
Just one more record we have Of
how the general kept the resolution
made on his thirteenth birthday. 1t
was in the year 177S, while at Valley
Forge, that Washington marked Feb
ruary % with deed of kindness which
indeed made one man grateful that
the general had been given the gift 9
life for little space" A young sen
try was sent to him under the charge
of having been found asleep at his
post. He was scarcely more than q
boy, ill-clad and half-starved, and even
though he was badly frightened his
eyelids were heavy with sleep.
The great general questioned hiss
kindly, found that he had given hiS
last ration to a suffering comrade and
relieved a sick man of sentry duty. In
stead of reprimanding the boy, Wash
ington spread a blanket, told him to
lie down and get an hours sleep.
When he awoke it was past noon. and
the general had laid tho table. He
was ordered to partake Of the birth
day" feast of cheese, some stale bread
and good hot coffee, or what passed
for that beverage. The next day the
boy was sent to the hospital with a
fever, and he never saw battle after
that.
Although this is the last record that
can be found of how Washington kept
his birthday, undoubtedly later ami.
versaries were marked by deeds of
kindness equal to those Of his early
years.

old cronies. And 1t was noticed that
the advances invariably came from
Senator Lamar; that Senator Bruce
did not presume upon the official re-
lations that existed between him and
Senator Lamar to force his personal
attentions upon the latter.
At the beginning of Grover Cleve-
lands first term as president Senator
Lamar became secretary of the inte-
rior. Not long thereafter he sent
word to Senator Bruce, then getting
ready to retire as registrar of the
treasury, that he would like to see
him. A little later the secretary was
receiving the registrar as he would an
old friend, and confessing to him that
he doubted whether he was as well
equipped for an executive office as he
was for judicial or legislative post.
But" he said, Il am going to make
as good a secretary of the interior as
| am able" Then he brought up
personal matter.

pointees of yours are there in this de-
partment?"

Shortly after Justice Lamar's death,
in 1898, Senator Bruce was reminded
of this incident.
Judge Lamar was faithful to that
self-imposed and unsought for prom
ise," said Bruce. Not an appointee
of the interior department named on
my recommendation was removed by
him. And when | recall this and all

How stroIIing Hump-Reader Exam

Head and Told the Truth
His Abilities.

While Henry Ward Beecher was all
mental and physical, never suffering
serious illness until the mortal attack.
he was nevertheless a yearly victim
of hay fever. He. found his only re-
lief from hay fever in a sojourn in
the White Mountains, and he was &C
customed to leave his farm. near
Peekskill. N. Y, in mid-July and to re-
main in New Hampshire until the
frost. He was utterly democratic in
his manner and unconventional in his
dress. so that anyone who did not
know him would be likely to judge
that he was a farmer who had saved
little money and was spending a
portion eff 1t in a summer vacation at
a White mountain hotel. Many farm
ers at that time were accustomed to
do this.
One summer morning In the late
seventies Beecher sat upon the piazza
of his hotel, reeading newspaper,
Upon his head was his black felt hat,
the brim of which was so broad that
1t tapped in the breeze. He wore an
old-fashioned turn-down collar, with a
sort of black string for a necktie. His
trousers were baggy, as usual. A few
of his friends sat near him, chatting,
when suddenly there appeared around
the corner of the piazza a quaint and
curious specimen of humanity. He
was a large-eyed. long-haired man.

hand he carried a satchel and in the

toward Beecher-"and II we find that
you hit it pretty nearly straight, why,
then, some of us may have our heads

The phrenologist approached Mr..
Beecher. The gentlemen want me to

friends were intent upon playing a

Peculiar Intimacy That Existed Be-
tween Blanche X. Bruce and L. q.
c. Lamar From the Time That
Both Were Elected senators.

In 1875 Blanche X. Bruce. born In
slavery, and the first negro to sit In
the United States senate, was made a
member of that body by the Missis-
sippi legislature. Two years later that
state named as its other senatorial
representative L. Q. c. Lamar, who
had drafted the ordinance of seces-
sion adopted by Mississippi, led his
regiment at Yorktown and Williams
burg, and otherwise labored assid-
uously In behalf of the Confederacy.
In color, in antecedents, in training,
In politics. the eX-slave and the man
who was destined to win seat on the
United States Supreme court, were as
far apart as the poles; yet shortly
after Mr.. Lamar had become senator
It was noticed with more or less aston
ishment in various quarters that he
and the senior senator from Missis-
sippi were on the most friendly terms.
There are old residents in Washing
ton who doubtless can easily recall
how Senator Lamar and Senator
Bruce used to walk arm in arm about
the residential streets of the capital
city and through it's parks and
squares. Seemingly, it never occur
red to the white man that the COM
panion of his outings was of another
race, that his early life had been
spent in bondage. And when Senator
Bruce retired from the senate and be
came registras of the treasury in
1881, the intimacy between him and
Senator Lamar continued, their
walks about Washington being ample
outward evidence of their friendship.
Together, during all the period that
both men were in the senate, they
would visit the postoffice department
relative to appointments. Whenever
It became necessary for him to go to
the department. Senator Lamar would
courteously ask his negro colleague to
accompany him, and more than once
they were seen making their way
there arm in arm, as though they were

He spent his twenty-second birthday
amid warlike scenes at Fort Duquesne

a regiment against the French. Or
the eve of that birthday Washington
gave bountiful supper to all the men
OF his regiment, and gave good-sized
sum of money to one of the men to
be sent home to the wife and little
ones whom the soldier had left in al
most destitute circumstances.

On January 6, 1859, at the age Of
Y, Washington married Martha Gus

terity of the young patriot was sunk
in the tenderness of the lover. He
marked his birthday that year by dis.
