PRIMITIVE SURGERY.
Contrast Between Two Operations

The wonderful progress made in surgical
science is we'll illustrated by the accounts Of
two operations which reached til S journal
on Mouday-on4 from the London Hospital
and the other from the lonely island OF
Tristan da Cunha, in the South Atlantic,
1000 miles west Of CapetoWn,
The operation at the London Hospital was
carried oat with great success by means Of
Il novel apparatus for wiring together the
ends Of IL broken bone. The instrument.
which was invented by Professor Lambotti,
Of Paris, consists Of a strong pIiable wire of
softened German silver, ON which a screw
thread has been cut. 4 Nut runs loosely on
this thread. One surface of the wire for
it's last eight inches is hattened out so that
below the INT the wire has one flat surface
and one rounded.
'In wiring q broken bone" one of the
otlicIaI3 at the hospital eX Explained, "the sur
geon, after having separated tue soft pprts
covering the fracture, bends the flattened
end Of the wire into the shape Of u button
hook, HE fiat surface being inside and the
round threaded surface on the out side.
se|5lipping this hook under the fragments
he pulls the free end up towards INN with n
pain Of forceps, and then, opposing the two
hattcued surfaces Of the wire, he screws the
nut Town until the loop thus made era7ps
the bono sufficiently tightly. The rest of
the wire above the nut is then cut off and
another similar wire support IS placed round
another section of the break.

WINSOR'S MANLY LETTER.
(By Milford WinSOr.)

Wy w
According to advices received from
unofficial but reliable sources, the
fact of my defeat for congressional
nomination is definitely established.
While this naturally causes me re-
greet, | shall neither repine nor pout,
nor falter in the fight for the prin-
ciples | have, in my modest way, rep
resented, and which | endeavored, in
in this primary campaign, to uphold.
Not less than heretofore, | believe in
the Rule of the People, and so be-
lieving, cheerfully bow to the will of
majority of the people who escaped
Acknowledgement under the terms of
a narrow partisan enabling act.
In this hour, when the democracy
of Arizona, occupying a position in
the forefront of the fight for pro-
gressive popular government, is on
trial, l adjure the able men who
have been chosen to bear our party 5
and unhaltingly-to so declare them
selves and so conduct themselves,
both as candidates and as servants
of the people, as to bring triumph
to the peoples cause and give lustre
| to their own achievements.
In a good old-fashioned democratic
victory, such as is assured there
will be glory enough for all-for the
candidates who were unsuccessful in
| the primaries as we'll as those who
were successful-but it must be borne
in mind that a good old-fashiOned
democratic victory will only be made
complete by the carrying out in let
ter and in spirit, of the true demo
cratic principles typified by and EN-
bodied in Arizona's progressive con
stitutiOn. That constitution, justly
lauded as the high-water mark in the
growth of popular government, shall
continue to be the battle-cry in Ari
IONA until the people, whose rights ii
protects, shall be firmly entrenched
in the power which to them belongs
and the fortress of their rulershiI
shall become impregnable.
l am deeply grateful to the friends
throughout Arizona who gave me
their loyal support-mOre because OF
the faith they thus expressed in the
policies for which | stood and shall
continue to stand, than for any pos
sible tribute to myself. Especially
am l grateful to the people of Yuma
county, both democrats and republic
cans, who, with remarkably few ex-
ceptiOns, without regard to either
personal or political considerations
gave encouragement and practical aid

Deal gently with the brood SOW:
Make her lot happy and she will
cause the premises to resound with
the laughter of bright-faced pigs II
she is allowed to carry load of sor-
row and grief, just as like as not
she will turn loose a brood of razor
backs that will eat the sheeting off
the hog house. She may look as I'M

the chances are that she is as sensi-

FARM NOTES.

When hen gets the idea that she
is heart-breaker and puts in most
OF her time fussing over her personal
appearance, she has no edge on the
barren fig tree in point of productive
ness. Some hens are like some
women-they would rather stall
around and preen and plume than lean
up against a days work. A giddy-
minded pullet is a source of dissen-
sion in the hennery, and the sooner
her giblets adOrn the home circle the
better.
