pital in Hot Springs. But this is not
his greatest trouble. He was a member

Of the day he was to have left for camp
and submitted to an appendicitis opera
ton. It is said that now both he n
the doctor who performed the operation
have been called before h proper au-
thorities to explain.
No notice of the operation has been
sent to the authorities composing the
local board in Custer county, it is said,
and the young man also Is alleged to
have enjoyed a dance at Buffalo Gap
the evening before the day of the
operation. It is reported that the young
man has str%enuously objected to going
into camp with the other members Of
the Custer county contingent. Inter-
esting developments are being awaited.

lance for help. She decided that as the
arm was SO badly m%angled that it would
have to be cut off, she would perform
the operation. With the implements at
hand she cut the suffering child loose,
and hurriedly getting a team ready,
took her to the nearest physician,
where the injured stump was properly
cared for.
The child had been left alone in q
shed where a power washing machine

comes the proverb used among the
English sailors, that God sends meat,
and the DeUH sends cooks. Those,
however, who have better opinion of
Providence, will think otherwise.
Knowing that sea air, and the exercise
or motion which they receive from the
rolling ship, have a wonderful effect
in whetting the appetite, they will say,
that Providence has given sailors bad
cooks to prevent them from eating too
much; or that, knowing they would
have bad cooks, he has given them
good appetite to prevent them from
dying with hunger. However, if you
have no confidence in these succours of
Providence, you may yourself, with a
lamp and a boiler, by the help of little
spirits of wine, prepare some food, such

whilst those which are killed for the
table are scarcely fit to be eaten. To
remedy this inconvenience, it will be
necessary to divide their troughs into
small Compartments, in such a manner
that each of them may be capable of
containing water; but this is seldom or
never done. On this account, sheep and
hogs are to be considered as the best
fresh provision that one can have at
sea; mutton there being in general very
good, and pork excellent.
The most disagreeable thing at sea
is the cookery; for there is not, prop
erly speaking, any professed cook on
board. The worst sailor is generally
chosen for that purpose, who for the
most part is equally dirty. Hence

as soup, hash, &c. A small oven made
of tin-plate is not bad piece Of fur
niture: your servant may roast in it
a piece of mutton or pork.
Having often seen soup, when put
upon the table at sea in broad fiat
dishes, thrown out on every side by the
rolling Of the vessel, have wished that
our tin-men would make our soup
basOns with divisions or compartments;
forming small plates, proper for con-
tanning soup for one person only By
this disposition, the soup, in an extraor-
binary roll, would not be thrown out
of the plate, and would not fall into the
breasts of those who are at table, and
scald them.-Having entertained you
with these things of little Importance,
permit me now to conclude with some
general reflections upon navigation.
When navigation is employed only for
transporting necessary provisions from
one country, where they abound, to an
other where they are wanting; when
by this it prevents famines, which were
so frequent and so fatal before it was
invented and became so common; we
cannot help considering it as one Of
those arts which contribute most to the
happiness of mankind.-But when it
is employed to transport things of no
utility, or articles merely of luxury, it
is then uncertain whether the advan-
tages resulting from it are sufficient to
counterbalance the misfortunes it occa-
