A EUBSTITU 1 E POU AMPUTATION.
Til* AMtsenti*' !<letho<l WIilcIi Dr. Kochi*
Advt ;ates ai::l Adopts.
A now and simple mode of treatment
has been introduced in Franco by which,
it is claimed, a large proportion of in
jured limbs now usually amputated can
be saved. The m< thud, which is due to
Dr. Rcclus, was recently described be
fore the French congress of surgery and
is thus explain! d:
“Whatever the extent or gravity of
the lesions, he (Dr. Rcclus) never, un
der any circumstances, amputates the
injured limb, but m< rely wraps it in
antiseptic substances by a ve ritable em
balming preeess, le aving nature to sep
arate the dead from the living tissues.
This method e>f treatment peissesscs the
double advantage of be ing much le ss fa
tal than surgical exa resis and of pre-
Fcrving for the use of the path nt, if not
the entire limb, at any rate a much
larger part than would be left after am
putation. He adveieates this very con
servative treatment on account of the
excellent effects e.f hot water, which he
uses freely. After the skin has been
shaved and cleanse el fie m all fatty sub
stances by ether, etc., in the usual way,
a jet of hot water CO te» G2 dc grecs C.
(140 to 144 degrees), but not higher, is
made to irrigate all the' injured surfaces
and to penetrate mte) all the hollows
and under all the de taclie d pans of the
wound, without exemption. This is the
| only way of removing all clots and to
wash away all foreign bodies, together
j with the micro-organisms the y may con
tain. The advantage s of hot water at
this high temperature are threcfolel—(i)
; lied water at this temperature is anti
septic; heat greatly increases the poten
cy of antiseptic substances; (2) it is
hemostatic (that is, stanches the flew
i of bleed); (!J) it helps to compensate
fe-r the loss of lu-at resulting from the

' The greatest exodus that the world
has ove r see n since the children c f Israel
departed out of the laud of Egypt,
nearly 3,500 years ago, will soon take
place in Brazil.
Ail the inhabitants of a city rf over
20,000 population, the capital e.f one of
the largest and richest states of that
country, will in a short time abandon
their homes c» masse. What makes this
wholesale e xodus more remarkable is
the fact that these 20,0C0 people will
move in a body into a new city, which
fer two years has bee n in process of
erection for their eernpaney, and which
is as yet untcnnntcd save ly the arti
sans and laborers who are putting the
finishing tone he s to the miles of streets
and the spacious public buildings and
private palaces.
The city which is on the point of
being thus abandoned to the wild beasts
which swarm in the forests about it is
Ouro-i’reto, the capital of the mining
state of Minns-Geracs, in the southeast
ern part of Brazil. It was founded near
ly twocenturie s ago by the gold see kers.
Ouro-Prcto has been unique among
cities for several reasons, one being that
it has but a single street, and that sev
eral miles in length. The town is built
along a narrow gorge in the mountains,
known as the Sierra elo Minas-Geraes, n
part (if tho mighty chain which rises far
back front the coast of eastern Brazil.
Though it lie's some f>,GOO feet above
tho seni level, the air is always so damp
that everything nett ke-pt in airtight
case's becomes mildewed within a short
time. Thorn is no such thing as a car
riage of any description in this moun
tain city, and even riding mule back is
dangerous, for tjte single stieet, which
twists and winds for miles, is probably
the roughe st in tho world, there being
hut few level stretches of more than a
dozen yards in all its le ngth. A portion
of it lies along a deep chasm, at the bot
tom of which roars one' of the mountain
torrents which he lp to make the great
Rio dc Francisco.
Another remarkable thing about this
town is that fully half of the inhabitants
have lived of late yesirs in the exhausted
galleries which the miners have hewn
out of the roe k along the* mountain side
in their search for gold, 'ihe other
dwellings me pen lied at varying heights
up and down the sidrs of the steep
spurs which jut into and sometimes al-
inost e ioss the narrow* pass.
Tho nfw city which tho people ct
Onro-Preto are having built for them
will be tin' direct antithesis of the old.

DRYING FRUIT.
An Economlrnl Finn Whero Rmall Q

Every farmer ought to dry enough
fruit at least for home consumption
during tho winter soaron. thin dried
fruit ha« a flavor that cannot be ap

bleached article. Besides, sun drying is
the most economical plan for curing
green fruit where but small quantities
are prepared annually.
Fruit exposed to the sun and air

flies. A convenient plan 1ms been illns-
trated in American Gardening:
Two frames of inch by two inch stuff,
of equal size, are covered with wire
mosquito netting. On one the fruit is
spread evenly and thinly, while tho
other serves as a cover, the whole rest
ing on a sawhorse frame or npen four
stakes driven into the ,-round with cross
pieces nnilcel to the tops. The air thus
circulates up through the fruit, while
flies and othe*r insects have no chance to
soil it. Two strips can lie nailed across
the bottom to support the weight upon
it if ne eded.
Tare Sirup From Sn^ar Cane.
Profe'ssor B. L. Reiss of the Alabama
statiem at Auburn lias demonstrated
that cane juice ran bo successfully puri
fied—even on a small scale—before
evaporation. Farm and Fireside says:
The cane juice is allowed to flow over
two seri'-sof three shelves each, fastened
to the opposite sides of an airtight box
1 by 2)4 by 4 feet. This box is ke'pt
filled with the fumesof burning sulphur
from a small furnace underneath. After
this process is completed the juice is
heated almost to the Imiling pednt, when
a small amount of thin milk of lime is
added, but. tho juico is still left dis
tinctly acid. By careful skimming and
rapiel reduction to a density of 32 de
grees Beaumo, the sirup produced was
of light color, was not inclined to crys
tallize or sour, and was ke pt feir 11
months in tightly se-aled bottles without
change.
Rrnnvatlng FasturM.
Pastures may also bo renovated by
rowing seed in the autumn. If certain
portions of tho fielels are wholly or par
tially devoid of gracs, the autumn is a
good time for patching them up. The
work may be <le>ne as follows, according
to directions given by Prairio Farmer:
Sow timothy and clover seed in the
autumn on the bare spots, then harrow
these freely. When harrowed cover
lightly with a dressing of manure. If
the manure has Ise n well decomposed
it should be applied before tiie seed is
seiwn. Pasture's may be secured fre
quently by turning under the stubbles
of a barley or a winter wheat crop as
early in the season as the plowing can
tie 1 done afte r the crop has been removed.
A mixture of clove-r and timothy may
then be sown, without a nurse crop or
with a thin seeding of rye. These' may
lie pastured the same season when once
they have become well rooted, but not
too closely.
How to Kill Nut Grim*.
A Georgian tells Southern Cultivator
how to kill nut grass. He writes:
I cut it off just under tho top of the
ground an inch or se) with a sharp hoc
and keep it cut every week for two or
three months, ami the nut grass is
dead. After the first several cuttings it
comes meire vigorous, but begins to got
weaker anel weaker until nothing comes
up. I commenced about the middle of
August and kept it up till frost, and tho
next year there was not a sprig of it.
lle«uUs of Topping Corn.
Three seasons’ tests at tho Mississippi
station have uniformly shown a marked
decrease in tho yie-lel of com and dete
rioration in quality which is not com
pensated by the feeding value of tho
crops. Ihe records of seven other sta
tions where similar tests have been
made show a loss of 10 per cent upon
topping. Stripping causes even greater
loss, according to these and other tests.
Hoe* That Swim.
It is generally believed that hogs can
not swim, bnt Captain Alfred Plate of
Burlington, N. J., says his can. Cap
tain Platt owns a farm on Burlington
island.
Several days ago ho w*as looking over
bis stock, when ho became aware that,
some* of his hogs were missing. He be
gan a search for the fugitives, and going
down on tho beach ho was surprised to
find a dozen of them swimming around
in the water.
Ho tried in various w*ays tocoax them
to shore, but in vain. After having staid
in tho water as long as they cared to
they slowly made their way back to
their sty without so much as a glance
at their owner.
A few days later there were some lit
tle pigs beirn, and before they were 24
hours old they were taken for a swim
by their parents, who had become so
fond of tho sport that they visited tho
beach daily.—New York Herald.

Tho Hrohcn Wheel.
A. M. Pearce, onn of (ho oldest Asso
ciated Press operators, fell* an interest
ing story to illuRlrnto how important n
place tho operator upon (lie railway linci
occupies, even the operators in the small
anel lonely f tat ions where no Irain stops
except it is flagged.
“People who travel c:i the cur.a,” bo
said, “havo no idea what close shaves
tho trains have every day. When 1 first
began work for tho railways, I was lo
cated at a littlo nation 13 miles from
Batavia called Byron. Eight miles e'ast
of Byron was the station e:f Bergen.
This was on the New York Central. It
happened that jnst be yond Byron there
was a high hill. It was difficult, for
trains to mount, and they some'tiin'r, bad
to wait there for another train to come
along nnel help Uie-iu over the hill. Qua
night I received a telegraph message
from the operator at Bergen that as tho
train was passing he noticed from I ho
sound that one e f iho wheels on one of
the cars was in bad shape. Ho suggested
that I stop tho train.
“Acting upon his suggestion, I pnt
out my flag and stopped the train. Thu
engineer was pretty sulky, and (ho con
ductor got off anel wanted to know what
in hades I had stopped them there for.
I told them tho message I bail received. !
They cursed some and started oct to look
for the broken wheel.
“A broken wheel was a serious matter
going over that hill, with llio possibil- '•
ity of plunging tho train off too track
and rolling it down tho precipice. As it
happened tho conductor had his wife
and child aboard too. Well, he lockeel
down one side of tho train, and we look
ed down the other without success. Bat
in looking down one of the sides we hail
a bad light, and so, taking tho light, I
went down again and found a quarter i
of one of the wheels broken.
“Well, sir, when the conductor ramo
up and saw that wheel he pie-keel mo up
in his arms, and I believe it I had been
a littlo younger he would have kissed
me, ho was so glad. I speak of it as il-1
lustrating how important the operator
may become to tho railway. ”—Detroit

The jaculator fish, which in foued ii»;
the Jukes of Java, uses its mont!) as a*
squirtgun and is a good marksman. If’
a stake or polo is put in the water with ,
tho end projecting three fi*et above tho I
surface and a beetle or fly is placed on I
tho top of tho pole, tlie< water will soon
bo swarming with finny gunners. Pres
ently one comes to the surface, observes
its prey and measures its distance. Then
it screws its mouth into a very funny
shape, discharges a stream of fluid and
knocks the fly or beetle into tho water,
whore it is instantly devoured by tho
successful shooter or somo of i*s hungry
companions. —Philadelphia Press.
