NEEDLE KILLS FINE BULL.

Towanda, Pa, Dec 31-The drop
ping Of siX-inch needle into the feed
of $1,000 Holstein bull caused the
death of the animal on the Hillscroft
Farms, at South Towanda, last night.
The animal headed the herd of thor
foughbred Holsteins owned by George
R. Hill, millionaire farmer. and a few
days ago one of the men employed in
the COW barn lost large darning nee
die, but did not think anything about
it at the time Last night while the
bull was standing in his box stal'
seemingly in perfect health, he sank
to the floor, and before any of the
attendants realized what was happen
ing, the valuable animal was dead
DR.. L. G. Marshall found that the
darning needle had worked its way
from the stomach to the heart pene-
trating that organ to a depth of an
inch and causing almost instant death.

dents, all the feed given thoroughbred

CASTRO IS Held

Some Excuse Will be Found

FOR Observation-Disclosures, there
are signs of the approaching Easter
holiday. Though this is the closing
week of the Lenten season, when
thoughts are theoretically turned stead
tasty away from things worldly, there
are, a good many surreptitious glances
cast toward the new hat and the spring
gown. Nor are all these g%lances from
feminine eyes. The male of the spe-
cies is as susceptible as his c]onsort;
he finds no less satisfaction in the con-
sideration of the spring STYLES and he
consults the tailor and the h~aberdasner
with as much interest as does his
mate in her visits to the dressmaker
and the milliner. But not all of the
Easter preparation is of this sort.
There is earnest work in anticipation
Of the church services of that day;
there is the planning for the juvenile
side of the holiday-the eggs and the
rabbit and the chicks, these are much
in evidence, in the shop windows and
in the talk Of the youngsters; and
there are the flowers, truest emblems
of the spring festival-the use of flow
ers has become more and more gen.
eral in recent years in connection with
Easter and this is one of the beautiful
phases of our observance of the day.
On all sides and in every home are all
these preparations in progress in some

The duties of the naval surgeon are
multifarious and exacting, and the
naval medical school leaves moth
ing undone to afford him a
thorough knowledge of those
duties. A thousand and one mat
tiers of routine demand his attention.
He must know how to report, how to
take charge of a ships health depart
ment, how to keep it's records: he must
know about contagious diseases, bills
of health and quarantine; he must
know how to make sanitary inspec-
tons and reports, how to examine the
eyesight of gun pointers, how to con-
duct sick calls, about fire drills, colli-
sion drills, fire and rescue parties,
abandoning ship, what to do when
there is a MAJ overheard, how to con-
duct the sick bay, and so many other
things that to mention them would be
to make this a catalogue instead of q
story.
There is a department which affords
instruction in surgical matters, with
particular stress upon operations for
and treatment of gunshot wounds,
preparations for going into battle, and
other conditions most likely to arise
in the navy. It has been found that
few regular medical schools give much
training in eye diseases, and as good
sight is one of the first essentials to
good gunners, the school provides a
liberal course of instruction in these
matters.
Under conditions formerly existing
in the navy, a young doctor who had
but lately walked u of his medical
college with a diploma, might be desig-
mated to take an examination as a
naval surgeon This examination had
comparatively little to do with deter
mining his special fitness for naval
work. If he passed he was put aboard
a ship and old to shift for himself.
The result was that he worked for
years and had to acquire his knowl-
edge of ava conditions by experience
which was more costly to the patients
and to the government than to himself.
Today the naval medical school epito-
mixes the experience of generations of
those who have gone Town to the sea
in ships, and gives 1T to each embryo
naval surgeon before he enters upon
his duties.
