Fifteen years ago the newspapers

feud had broken out and more men
had been killed. To-day there is no
newspaper notoriety for Clay County,
for there is no feud there. Every
now and then you will see some
magazine article about remarkable
man who lives in Clay County, and
who has put Christian school in the
very heart of the feud district and
is developing a new kind of life

An Unusual Operation.
STANSTEAD LADS REMARKABI, r
NERVE - TOOK ONE CHANCE IN
TWELVE.

NERVE - TOOK ONE CHANCE IN
TWELVE.
Cecil G. Tilton, aged 18 years,
who accompanied his father to Bos-
ton early last week, underwent a
surgical operation of the most deli
cate and critical nature on Monday,
December 18th. He had suffered
from epilepsy, and this year sustain
ed three partial shocks, his right
hand being partially paralized. Be-
fore the operation a consultation
was held, DR.. Frank Richardson,
Dr.. Wells and DIR. Harvey Cushing,
being among the specialists present.
Afterwards the father of the young
man, John A. Tilton, was told that
the lads condition was likely due to
one of three things-thickening of
the membrane, which was compar-
aUively easy to remedy; a dead
centre" for which there is no help;
or the presence Of a water filled
sack, " in which case the patient
would stand about one chance in
twelve of recovering. The boy had
no fear of death and was anxious for
the operation, which was performed
by DR.. Cushing in the Peter Bent
Brigham Hospital, Monday forenoon.
The disorder proved to be the sack
formation which was emptied, the
opening in the skull closed and the
patients head enclosed in a plaster
cast The patient was under the
influence of ether for three hours.
His first words upon regaining con-
seriousness were. Was the operation
successful?" showing the all-impor-
tant thought in his mind. He had
been inflicted by a serious impedi-
ment in speech, stammering and
muscular contortion; he used his
right hand very little. When his
father saw him in the ward some
little time after the operation. the
lad extended his right hand and
spoke without hesitation or effort.
The left brain was affected, as
was shown by para ysis of the right
side. This was explained by the
J surgeons who also stated that it was
, impossible to remove the sack"
without causing death. There was
, the possibility that this might fill
again but it is hoped, with conf
dence, that it will not, and that a
complete recovery will follow. The
, operation was considered Of much
importance and was witnessed by
some twenty leading surgeons.
Mental tests had been made and af-
+ ter the operation it was said that the
patient was 80 per cent above the
average ia intelligence for one so af-
, flicted. That the defect was from
birth was the opinion of the special
lists but it had been growing, and
, the operation came none too soon to
: prevent complete paralysis.
The boy went to the operating
room without a tremor and seemed
calm and contented when his father

How to Preserve Cut Flowers.

How to Preserve Cut Flowers.
Cut flowers remain fresh for such
very brief time that any means
of prolonging their life is eagerly
welcomed by the flower lover. Many
experiments have been tried along
this line by modifying the water in
which the flowers are placed. Thus,
roses, carnations, and orchids have
been found to keep three times as
long if small quantity of sugar is
added to the water. This is taken
up and helps to keep the cells Of the
flower from collapslng, and thus,
willing. A small lump of starch
has also been found beneficial.
Other flowers begin to bleed as soon
as they are cut, and the prescious
sap running out of the stem causes
the cells to collapse Immediately.
To prevent this, the end of the
stem must be quickly closed, and
this is best done by soaring in a
fame, or by placing directly in hot
water. For cOrsage bouquets the
searirg process is best, although
a little tedious, as each stem must
be so treated.
When flowers are placed in hot
water, the water will Immediately
become discolored and unsightly,
but a pottery vase overcomes this
difficulty, and also prevents acct
dents, likely to occur were the hot
water placed in a glass vase. There
are many flowers which can be sue
ce8sfully treated by this process,
dahlias, heliotrope, Shirley peoples,
institutions, and maidenhair fern.
The florists of California go as far as
TO boil the stems Of the brilliant Poin-
settias, or Christmas flowers, for
which they are so famous. The stem
is first stuck through a large sheet
of paper to preysnt the steam from
rising directly into the flower and
injuring it.
/ Carnations and chrysanthemums
will keep almost twice as long if
placed in fresh water daily and a
small piece is clipped from the ends
of the steanas each time. While
cutting this off, keep the stem under
water so that no air bubbles are al
lowed to enter the stalk and thus
retard the upward Cow of water.
Violets often lose their fragrance
after being picked, especially the
larger varieties. If they are placed
under a glass globe Immediately anC
DO air is allowed to reach them
they will retain their fragrance un
