Improved Methods of Surgery Which Prwigpo AitoTrndlns; Bosults?Healing of Wounds by "First. Intcn tlo n "-.Ne? cessity or Cleanliness?Dressing. Fifty years ago, on the minutes of tho Pennsylvania hospital in this city, especial mention was 'made- of tho fact that an amputated finger had healed by "first intention," that is, without tho process of suppuration and granulation, which is the usual inode by which tissues heaL At the present time it is usual, and not unusual, to have an amputated leg heal ifr trie* "first intention,11 as well as tho ' wounds, made in the performance of nearly .dl major and minor operations of surgery. ...... So rapid has been the progress in the improved methods of what is known as antiseptic surgery that many medical men are astounded to hear of the results that si-e being obtained, and the general ? public are not at all aware of the great advances in the surgical art. Indeed, an* tiseptic surgery has been'in its Infancy ^ror less' than* n dozen years, and has only received its perfect application within a few months. In the human body there exists a repar? ative power by.which the separated frag? ments of a broken bone are united and the cut surfaces of a wound are united. The simplest mode of healing an open wound is by the ''fir* intention", or "immediate uhfr^''^6riWhiclr surgeons have aimed for^^nndTeds.: of' yeai6. They had ob? served it In rare" instances, and looked upon it as a possibility; but, as previously stated, they seldom succeeded in getting it, and tho instances in which they did get it were deserving of special note. If union fails by the "first intention" in? flammation supervenes, and.healing Is ac? complished by a long and tedious process of suppuration and granulation, requiring several weeks or perhaps * months for the closure of a wound of any considerable size. And this is always connected with a great drain on the vital forces, and dan? ger from blood poisoning. THB MODERN* METHOD. - What is' antiseptic surgery? It con? sists of certain precautions and appli? ances for the exclusion of the "air, and with.the air of the numerous germs of disease and putrefaction which float iu it, and the application of a germicide, which destroys the vitality of these germs during and after operation. Tho more perfectly this is done the more likely will there be procured the primary union, or union by "first intention." Everybody knows that a cut of a finger, if promptly tied up and kept at rest, will heal readily; hut if it be neglected and allowed to get particles of dirt and the germs of disease into it there is considerable inflammation, the injured member becomes painful and swollen, discharges matter and is slow to heaL Antiseptic surgery aims at the sim? plicity of domestic practice?the accurate coaptation of the parts, provision being made for tile free discharge of secretions from the wound and the seclusion of the air and germs of disease. By the adoption of antiseptic measures the surgeon simply follows nature's indication. He puts the parts in the best possible condition to heal and nature does the healing. The methods adopted in order to secure this success are simple, and but a little more expensive, considering the first cost, but infinitely less costly than the old way ! of dressing, when consideration is made - for the time 'and waste of repeated dress [ ings, and the lessened risk of blood poison? ing and death from exhaustion from pro? longed suppuration. ? CLEAIHJKESS ESSENTIAL. The most essential element in antiseptio surgery is cleanliness. The part to bs [ operated upon, or the point Of injury and . adjacent tissue, is first' thoroughly scrubbed with soap and a fine brush. It Is then shaved to remove hair and dead cutaneous cells, and afterwards washed with ether, to remove fat and oily matter. ; It is then washed with an antiseptic solu I' Hon, and the operation Is begun. A small stream of tho solution is played upon the parts at short intervals as the operation progresses. Every opening in the tissues Is washed out with this solution. The parts are brought together with catgut sutures, which have been rendered aseptic, and these sutures are absorbed; consequently, there is nothing to come away. Catgut, being an animal tissue, is capable of ab? sorption, and is used for ligaturing vessels, sewing up the parts, and for drainage. For this purpose several strands are placed . in .the deeper part of a wound and drain by capillarity. After there are no further secretions these are absorbed. After the superficial opening has been closed and the edges brought into close apposition, a strip of "protective" is laid over tho line of sutures. Over this is spread a fold of. several thicknesses of gauze, an tisepticaily prepared, and dusted thickly on its surface with iodoform. Over this is placed cotton, also rendered antiseptic, and the whole dressing is confined in place by roller bandages. This dressing is put on wet?all,wet, and almost dripping with the antiseptic solution. . The dressing is not changed, unless there is some sign that all is not doing well, until a proper time has elapsed and it is known that the parts* have healed. Under these methods hos? pital, gangrene and erysipelas are very rarely encountered, and there Is so little discharge- of pus that recently it was im? possible to get enough for a sample for exhibition to a class at a medical college. This method, with slight changes in the detail, is now employed at every good hos? pital in tho country and by every surgeon who Is up with the times.?Philadelphia North American.

Other researches by eminent chemists place the amount absorbed by fattening mature animals as from 8 to 12 per cent, of tho value, and by growing stock and milch cows at .about 20 per cent, of the value. There should remain then from 80 to 00 per cent, of the above named values in the manure and urine obtained by feeding the above described articles, provided it is aU saved. A Bit; Bird Show.

SEVERAL WELL KEPT SECRETS. How Mr. Arthur Cam o Near Dying when President. Dr. Lincoln, one of the most prominent of the physicians here, was the regular attendant of President Arthur. Since the latter's death tho doctor has given an ac? count of two serious attacks of illness of Arthur when he was president about which the public has never heard a word. Arthur come near dying three times, once while vice-president and twice while he was president. One attack which nearly carried him off, and which is known to tho public, occurred on hoard tho Talla poosa when Mr. Arthur was absent on his Florida trip. Tho news of this attack got out, and within a few days afterward exact details of the danger through which the president had passed were given. These stories were at that time denied at the White House in the most positive and dogmatic way. The president was so sen? sitive upon the subject of his health that the obsequious members of his personal staff felt called upon to make denials of what they knew to bo truei Dr. Lincoln says that there wero two other occasions When tho president came as near'dying as upon the occasion of his Florida trip. His first serious attack oc? curred in Senator Jones' house on Capitol hill, when Arthur was vice-president. This attack took place during Arthur's - visit to Washington in July, after he had been called hero to await tho result of Garflold's wounds. Mr. Arthur at that time was weighed down with worry and responsibility. He was a Very emotional man. Tho criticisms of that timo, the ex? citement of his surroundings, and the re? sponsibility which was threatening to come upon his shoulders made a combina? tion of outward influence which depressed him very much. Then ho caught cold, and this cold brought on an attack of ner? vous rheumatism. Dr. Lincoln was sum? moned to attend him one night and found Mr. Arthur in a very dangerous condition. Dr. Lincoln really thought he would die. Tho news of this attack was well kept. Not a single member of the Gar field cab? inet ever know it. The knowledge was confined to Dr. Lincoln and Senator Jones, Not even tho servants weregfven to un? derstand that tho illness was anything more than an ordinary cold. Think what a sensation was suppressed by this close mouthed doctor! Garfleld was lying at the point of doath at tho White House and his successor for twenty-four hours was at tho point of death in another part of the town. The second occasion when Dr. Lincoln was called in to stand between Mr. Arthur and a second call of death Was after Mr. Arthur's return from the Yellowstone valley. This trip was very severe upon him. Instead of benefiting him the result was serious injury. The roughing it, in? stead of building him up, pulled him down. He hod gotten beyond the point when he could stand such treatment. When he re? turned from tho west to tho White House ho* was in a most distressing condition. When Dr. Lincoln came to see him he found him suffering horrible pain. His legs were swollen nearly to the size of his body. This was the positive indication of the development of Bright's disease. Dr. Lincoln was able to relieve Mr. Arthur and to reduce the distension. But if ho had not received medical attendance very promptly ho would have died at that time and Acting Vice-President George F. Ed? munds would have been his successor. Tho news of this attack was never known outside of tho president's immediate at? tendants in tho White House, Secretary Frelinghuy8en and Dr. Lincoln. None of tho other members of the cabinet were ever told of this attack. This second ill? ness was another one of the well preserved secrets of the Arthur administration.? Washington Cor. New York World. Ballet Schools of Europe. Almost in all places where the govern? ment subsidizes tho opera a ballet school is maintained in connection with tho opera house. In these schools the little girls are taught for nothing oh Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, which in Europe are half holidays in the public schools. Tho children are the offspring of the poor, and and as tho ballet is an ancient, honorable and profitable vocation it is considered grand good luck to got a child in one of the schools. Of course in such a state of affairs tho baUet teachers have their choice of pupils and teach only the most apt. The little ones begin at about 8 years of age, and first are taught to walk and then to posture and to waltz. They are taught for two or three hours twice a week, and it* is a long time before they begin the task of developing then*. muscles by bold and free leg movements, or of strengthen? ing their toes so as to bo able to walk upon them. At about 14 years of age they are regularly employed in the ballet as supernumeraries, and when they get in "the lines," as the ballet ranks are called, they get $10 to $12 a month. Thoy have to begin in the last rank or row furthest from the footlights, and to work their way gradually up to the front rank. Their pay increases as they go forward, and they ad? vance as their skill and grace and ease of movement are developed. They dance seven nights a week. The best schools are in Milan, Turin, Warsaw, Berlin and Vienna. In Berlin ' there are eighty or ninety pupils, in Vienna 100 or more.?New York Sun. Prison Lifo at Sine; Slug.

PASTE JEWELRY IS POPULAR. Some of tho Clever Imitations and How They are Manufactured. "Tho number of imitation diamonds worn these dnys is enormous," said a fashionable jeweler on Broadway to a re? porter. "What imitations are most worn?' "The double diamond, a clever imita? tion produced by splitting a worthless or defective stone and backing it with tinfoil. Diamonds of this kind have to be carefully mounted or else detection will be easy. Tho business of intensif ying tho sparkle of a pale, cheap diamond is now reduced^ to a science. Gems are frequently split* in two, a deeper tone of color introduced and they are joined together again, producing a stone that has a beautiful 'Ore' and that which sells for three or four times its original value. The 'doublet' business is extremely profitable, but, of course, no reputable dealer can afford to sell any without injuring his trade and reputation. A lapidnryj one Zocolino, invented the 'doublet' many years ago. Ho used a bit of crystal as a bottom to a makeup, anil painted it with transparent glue. Ho then joined together two cheap thin stones, and produced a gem that appeared finer than tho real. It was not long beforo his method was detected. "The quartz gems are popular and come next to the 'doublets' in clever counterfeit. They are gems of courso of their kind, but not what they ore often sold for. Quartz can stand the test of the file, which glass cannot do, hence its availability. There are other stones and certain varieties of topaz which arc as hard as diamonds; and being colorless they arc frequently cut and polished und passed as diamonds of the first water. Of late colorless gem material has gone up in prices, owing to the de? mand from the bogus diamond manufact? urers. Then there are tho paste diamonds, so easily taken by amateurs for genuine. The composition of paste gems is a mix? ture of violin glass and borax. These manufactured stones are very hard to de? tect, and sometimes find their way into rich families who are unwittingly imposed upon. Tho glittering gems that can be seen on Broadway after the matinees oro over, half the time are clover imitations, either doublets, quartz or paste. "But at the swell society balls I confess the gems worn there by the wealthy are genuine. Extremely wealthy people are not easily imposed upon; they always have a jeweler .who examines carefully their gems before they are purchased. The very moderately well-to-do people are often de? ceived, and young men who want diamonds to Bparkle before their sweethearts. Some of them, though, go boldly and ask for tho imitations and disport them as genuine. Mock pearls are frequently seen, too, but tho diamond is imitated more than any precious stone. The ruby is sometimes manufactured from a recipe which com? prises twenty parts of antimony and glass, 500 of strass, a half each of purple of Casslnm and gold. Aventurino is also a gem glass frequently used in imitations. These imitations of course have some effect upon tho sale of genuine gems, but not to an extent that is ruinous. I think, though, that all jewelers who sell imitations should deal exclusively in such goods and so ad? vertise. The harm comes from the attempt to palm off counterfeits for real stones."-* New York Mail and Express. Cllmato of the Greafc Ifest. What has wrought the change in the climate of eastern Colorado and western Kansas? 'That question cannot bo accu? rately answered. The winds blow from tho same direction they formerly did, but they are not sirocco like. The rain storms eomo from the west generally, and in the past the west wind was dry wind. In my opinion the change is due to the extensive Irrigation of the land lying along the east? ern base of tho Rocky mountains. Great rivers, which head in the perpetual snow banks of those mighty ranges, have been turned into irrigation ditches, and the water which formerly ran wastefully to tho Gulf of Mexico has been turned on to tho arid plains. There it soaks Into the soil The wind sweeping over the land sucks ilp a large portion of it. There is moisture in the air, and it is precipitated as rain on the plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas. So extensively is irrigation practiced in Colorado that almost all the water was taken out of the South Platte river last year. Fifty miles east? ward from Denver the stream was a tiny rill. As it is -with the South Platte so it Is with less important streams, and so it soon will be with streams of larger volume. Tho day when the Arkansas river will be turned on to tho plains, every inch of it, is plainly In sight. The system of irrigation which has been applied to tho land lying along tho eastern base of tho Rocky mountains is now being applied to the western slopo and to the arid basin lying between tho Rocky moun? tains and the Sierra Nevada range. In a few years tho water which now flows wastefully into the Colorado and tho Co? lumbia will be taken from the branches of those largo streams and used to irrigate arid land. It is highly probable that the climate of the wholo Rocky mountain region will be changed in the near future, and changed by the irrigation of tho land lying west of it. More rain will fall in the highlands during the summer. The streams which drain tho eastern slopes will remain full longer. More water will bo expended on the plains, and more rain will fall in Colorado and eastern Kansas. The arid zone will practically disappear. ?Frank Wilkeson in Now York Sun. Vinegar and Indigestion. It is tho business of the saliva to digest starch, and by its alkalinity to stimulate the secretion of the gastric juice in the stomach. It is well known that the saliva is unable to act upon starch in the pres? ence of an acid. Experiments have shown that even so small a quantity of vinegar as ono part in 5,000 appreciably diminishes the action of saliva upon starch. One part in 1,000 renders it very slow, and twice tho latter quantity arrests it alto? gether. From this it is evident that vine? gar, pickles, salads and other preparations in which vinegar is used are unwholesome, especially when taken with farinaceous food, such ns bread and other grain prepa? rations. There is a popular notion that by the use of vinegar a tendency to in? crease in flesh may bo antagonized. The physiological fact that fat is largely formed from the starchy elements of grains and vegetables rather supports tho popular no? tion; but this method of reducing weight should not be encouraged, as the loss of flesh is secured at the expense of good di? gestion.?Good Health. A Singular Southern Industry. According to a correspondent of The New York Commercial Advertiser, the largest house in the world engaged in the collection of medicinal herbs, roots, barks, gums and berries is conducted by two brothers at Statesville, N. C. These brothers do a business of $100,000 a year, handling more than 2,000 varieties, weighing upwards of 2,000,000 pounds. Shortly after the war they started busi? ness in a very small way. At first they dealt chiefly in ginseng, for which there is always a big demand in China. Snake root was also looked after, and tho busi? ness grew to such an extent that tho brothers secured tho services of an emi? nent botanist. Tho traffic Increased, until 40,000 per? sons are kept busy collecting herbs and delivering them to 400 or 500 different stores scattered over some thirty counties In western North Carolina. These col? lectors are chiefly women, children and old men.?Atlanta Constitution. A Now Judge's Anxioty. No matter how experienced in the prac? tice a lawyer may be, if he occupies the bench ho finds many new points of which previously ho had no knowledge. He views litigation from a different stand? point, placing both sides on an equal foot? ing, whereas as an attorney ho looked only on one side of the question at issue. Anew judge of course has more work to do than one who has fallen into the routine part of judicial duty. In his anxiety to be impartial he makes note of many small or insignificant points that an experienced judge learns to eliminate from his consid? eration of the case. He Is on the qni vive to catch everything that is going on, and hence finds himself very tired after hear? ing a case. After ho. has tried a great many cases ho will naturally come to know what parts of testimony to closely attend, and then his work will not bo so onerous. ?Judge Valliant in Globe-Democrat. A Bald Headed Senator. The bald head of Senator Footo, of Mississippi, was frequently a mark for tho humor of tho senate. One day he seated himself smilingly at his desk. The house was electrified, for a flue, curly, black wig covered his pate. Up rose Mr. Halo and demanded a .special committee to ex? amine the credentials "of the youthful up? start who had assumed Senator Foq?^ike ncss and chair." Senator Footj mid, bowing politely, convul ing it on his umbrella, with tho observa? tion: "With this motion on my part, which is quite in order, despito my illus? trious colleague's, the committee is not necessary." Thero was a round of ap? plause.?The Argonaut. PERPLEXITY.

Slave Hunting In Africa. There seems to be reason to fear thai slave hunting is again largely on the in? crease in central Africa; That was^ of course, foretold as a certain consequence of the abandonment of the Soudan. Now we hear that the station at Stanley Falls, on tho upper Congo, has been abandoned under the pressure of Arab hostilities, in? stigated, it is believed, by tho veteran slave hunter Tippu Tib, whoso opera? tions in this very region have been de? scribed by Mr. Stanley. That gentleman came up with a single caravan of 3,300 slaves, mostly women and children; and ho calculates that for every slave caught six had been killed in the foray. The ter? rible sufferings of the desert marches, which the caravans have commonly to make, cause, of course, a frightful waste of life. Still tho difficulty remains as to what becomes of these vast droves of hu? man beings. Ono gentleman states that 20,000 slaves passed his house on their way to tho east coast in a singlo year. Tho cast coast is closely watched by our slups, and only a chance cargo is sup? posed to escape their vigilance. Where did tho 20,000 go to??St. James' Ga? zette. First Conqueror of California. Capt: Cleveland, father of Professor H. W. S. Cleveland, the well known land? scape architect, was an adventurous Yankee navigator, and tho story of his li|o reads liko a romance. During one voyage ho ran his vessel into a Mexican port com? manded by a blue blooded Spanish hidalgo, who also controlled a small fort in tho Bay of Santiago. He peremptorily ordered Capt. Cleveland to leavo tho place, and as tho latter was passing the fort a shot was fired across the prow of his vessel. This was too much for the patience of the Yankee captain, and ho at onco ordered tho three smaU guns that he carried turned upon tho fort and opened lure. In about ten minutes the fort was knocked to pieces and the little Spanish garrison driven out pell-mell. Subsequently Capt. Cleveland received a letter from Commo? dore Biddle, United States navy, asking him to become governor of California, and saying that he was justly entitled to tho position because he "was tho first man to conquer tho territory."?Pioneer Press "Listener." Improved Flro Alarm. A mechanic in Louisville, Ky., thinks that ho has invented an apparatus which will discourage the giving of falso alarms of fire. His applianco is a pair of mag? netic nippers which grab by tho wrist the man who turns in the alarm, and hold him at the box until tho arrival of tho flro de? partment. Tho man who turns in tho alarm can bo released ouly by tho firemen, who aro supplied with keys which turn off the current, when tho magnet relaxes its grip.?New York Sun. Too Illany Stenographers. In point of fact, tho supply of stenog? raphers is superabundant. Hundreds and hundreds of fairly good writers are out of employment. Moreover, tho old raco of stenographers is becoming extinct. The male shorthand writer, looked upon as the master of magic art, is almost a thing of the post. Tho girl with a pair of nimble hands and an ability to get along nicely and contentedly on from $8 to $12 a week has taken his place.?Chicago Herald. Discoveries In Medicine. Dr. Buchan, the author of the well known work, "Domestic Medicine," said: "Very few of tho valuable discoveries in medicine have been made by physicians. They have*in general, either been tho effect of change or of necessity, and havo been usually opposed by tho faculty, till every one else was convinced of their im? portance.

In a Bead Man's Pocket. Stepben Allen Price was a man who was liked and looked up to by all who knew him. He was honest, kind ard true, a warm friend and a good neighbor. The boys and girls all liked him because he never forgot that be bad been you re once biroBelf. He was never stiff ar.a croBS and bossy with them, but was their good friend. He became rich, was made mayor of New York city, and lived to be very old. He lost his life in a steamboat di6aster. Those-?.'he "fcrrrrd- dtfrXf body found a scrap of printed paper in his pocketbook. It was so worn with oft reading that they could scarcely make out the words, but this is what was upon the paper: Keep good company or none. Never be idle. If your hands caunnt be usefully em? ployed attend to the cultivation of your mind. , Always speak the truth. Make few promises. Live up to your engagements. Keep your owu stcrets, if you have any. When you speak to a person, look him in the face. Good compnny and good Conversation are the very sinews of virluo. Good character is above all things .else. Your character caunut be essentially injured except by your own acts. If any one speaks evil of you, let your life be so that none will believe him. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors. Ever live (misfortune excepted) within your income. When you retire to bed, think over what you havo been doing during the day. Make no baste to be rich, if you would prosper. Small and steady gains give competen? cy with trauquility of mind. Never play at any game of chance. Avoid temptation through fear you may not withstand it. Earn money before you spend it. Never ruu into debt, unless you .'eo plaiuly your way to get out again. Never borrow, if you can possibly avoid doing so. Do not marry untii you are able to sup? port a wife. Never speak evil of any oue. Be just before you are generous. Keep yourself innocent if you would be happy. Sivewhen jousre young :o poud when you are old. Head over the above maxims, at least, one a week. The Craze for Riehes? Henry E. Abbey, the noted theatrical manager, is a slender man, who carries himself well. He has a round, ruddy face and black mustache. He is always carefully dressed. Mr. Abbey was ori? ginally a jeweler, having learned the trade in his lather's shop in a western town. He may be seen riding about the city, his favorite conveyance being a han? som. Abbey has had his u pa and downs, but through them he has preserved an indifference to wealth which is.remarka ble. Chatting with mc the other day he said: "I cannot understand why men are crazy to be rich. If a man has all he wants I should think that would be enough. I would rather be in the place of one of the younger members of the Vanderbilt family than in the placo of one of the elders. Take Frederick Van? derbilt, for instance, with ?8,000,000 or ?10,000,000, which is ample. Ho has Htfhing to do but to oujoy himself, but Cornelious and William K., with $40, 000,000 or ?50,000,000 apiece, have all the responsibility of keeping up the fami? ly uame and transmitting their wealth unbroken to somebody who will maintain the family name and fortune.
