GIRLS ARM REPLACED
!, WITH SUICIDES BONE
Operation by Which Young Woman Is
Cured of Malignant Growth. Per-
formed in Prague.

Special Cable to The washington heIald
Vienna, Feb. 2S.-With bone from the
arm of a suicide in her own arm, a young
girl today is going about her accustomed
duties in Prague, possessed of as great
facility as ever in the use of her arms.
The operation by which she was cured of
a malignant growth. which necessitated
the removal of her upper arm bone, is
attracting much attention.
DR.. Horak. of Prague University, has
demonstrated the theory propounded and
explained at the last congress of sur
geons by Privy Councillor Kuttner, of
Breslau, as to the transplanting Of bones
from a dead person to a living one.
1t happened that just at the right mo-
ment a suicide, a young girl. was brought
in, and DR.. Horak grasped the opportun-
ity to save without amputation the life
of the young seamstress with sarcoma OF
the bone of the upper arm. The bone of
the dead girl was removed, and the flesh
of the living girl was laid back and the
affected bone removed from the shoul-
der joint to just above the elbow. The
corresponding bone from the suicide
then was fastened onto the stump above
the elbow with a small ivory wand fitted
into the cavity followed into the bone
and gold pins on the outside. The head
of the bone was pushed gently into the
cavity of the shoulder joint and fastened
there.
After sewing up the wound, Dr. Horak
placed the arm in a tight bandage The
bone knit quickly, and after few weeks
on continual practice, electrization, and
massage, the arm had regained its orig
inal mobility

eriaI Gable to The washington Herald.

SpcriaI Gable to The Washington Herald
Paris, Feb. &.-"American women are
not bound by convention. as Is the case
of their European sisters; resignation
and timidity. although essentially femi-
nine qualities, are unknown in the United
States. Their places are being taken by
energy and audacity," says Bessie Van
Worst an American contributor to La
Caulois, i'm an article explaining the pop
ularity of the Bergson cult in New York.
The American woman's admiration
for Henry Bergson. the Jewish philoso-
pher, who has just been made a French
immortal. is due to the optimistic tone
of his philosophy" she says. "She finds
i'm his doctrine something to flatter and
encourage her estimate of her own ca
pacitics. and her opinion of destiny in
general.
"She never could accept the dictum,
vice and virtue are products like vitriol
and sugar because she cannot tolerate
the comparison of human attributes
with vulgar commodities. She is over
flowing with self-confidence, and as
result of her belief she feels that moth
ing is impossible to Adams children.
The most astonishing fact in American
democracy is that in moral temperament
the United States is purely feminine.
That is why idealism holds sway there
and why social reform is considered more
important than political and diplomats

Rome, Feb. &-When DIR. and Mrs.
Bastiapelli gave their first reception of
the year at their beautiful apartment
overlooking the Royal Gardens, the pro-
posal to start the tango promptly was
vetoed by the charming hostess.
The Venetian fuTlana and teas appar-
emily have taken the place Of tango teas.
but such social leaders as the Princess
Giovanelu and Countess Frasso frankly
admit that their efforts. as well as the
efforts of other social lights to graft the
fUrlana permanently on the social life of
the capital. have been in vain.
The American hOsteSses all have drawn
the line at irrational amusements and
dances. A feature of the last dance
given by Miss Lister in her apartment
in the Semi Palace was the dancing of
the time-honored quadrille.
Among the participants were the Prin-
cess Massimo, Princess Aldobrandini,
Princess Antici Matti. Lady Constance

SERVANT, THEN DANCER,
FINALLY A MARQUISE
Daughter of Washerwoman in Ger.
many Has Remarkable Career
in Berlin.

Berlin. Feb. 2S.-From a maid servant
TO a dancer and from a dancer to a
marquise is a pretty big jump. Not since
the vagaries of Becky Sharp and her big
dragon has a girl of the people achieved
such a wonderful success as Minna Otto.
the daughter Of humble washerwoman
in Central Germany.
One of a huge family, Minna found
the trials OF home life more than she
could stand so came to Berlin as a serv-
ant. This occupation she soon deserted
for the gay life of the night salons. Her
beauty gained her many admirers. Then
she became a chorus girl. She made a
great success later as barefoot dancer
in a cabaret in Berlin, where she at
tracted the notice of an elderly French
nobleman, the Marquis de Nillevert, who
eventually married her and took her to
live with him in London, where he died.
She is now a beautiful widow with
comfortable fortune.
Before leaving Berlin. however, she
overlooked a little trifie she might have
settled with her tailor. Like Becky, she
never paid her debts. The tailor. how
ever was contumacious, issued warrants
and posted the town with the photograph
of the marquise. The result was that
she was arrested on her way to pay
visit Nto her mother. She had six big
trunks In the end the tailor was out
witted and Minna was liberated with
many excuses.

Paris Feb. "a treat Is in store fol-
American lovers Of tapestries the next
time they visit Paris, for the Louvre
authorities are arranging special gal
lery devoted exclusively to tapestries.
The Gobelins. Beauvais, Flanders, and
other beautiful specimens hitherto scat
tered about. or kept in the national store
house, will be brought together in this
great gallery.
The gallery known as the Pavilion de
Flora has been chosen as the tapestry
hall. II is in that wing of the Louvre
overlooking the Seine. near the end OF
the Tuileries Gardens. For a long time
the ministry of the colonies was installed
here.
1t was through this wing the Empress
Eugene made her exit in 1870 when fly
ing from the Tuileries. after which she
and her solitary companion took refuge
in the house OF the late DIR. T. w. Evans.
of Philadelphia
For the new gallery the Louvre has
just bought two early sixteenth century

grafton of the Church of St Anatoile de
Salins in the French Jura The complete
set was originally fifteen tapestries which
were made at Bruges in 1907 for st. Ana

OF Scottish king.
Two more of these interesting old
tapestries are in the collection Of the
Manufacture Rationale des Goeblins. The

FRANCE WOULD TAX AMERICANS
Minister OF Finance Proposes Levy
on Jewels and Art.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Paris. Feb. 2S.-M. CailIoux. millionaire
minister of finance. advances a scheme
to tax on capital which has a direct in
terest for the growing American colony
in France.
The scheme. il adopted by the French
Parliament. will apply in all its fullness
to American residents. According to NJ.
Cailloux's BILL, tax on capital means a
levy on securities. furniture, jewelry,
family relics, &C. The expression tax
on capital applies to everything that
must be included in a valuation of an es-
tate for probate The tax payer must
make a declaration of his property every
five years.
I. He must also make a new statement
whenever he grows richer by at least 10
per cent. Should he fail TO comply with
these requirements he will incur heavy
penalties. 1t may happen that the state
can collect twice in the one year from
the same estate. The capital tax falls
due January ]. Should the capitalist die
within the year, then the same estate
will have to pay succession tax. Foreign
colonies in Paris are far from pleased
with the outlook.
