THE TRANSFER of ONE hundred and

SKIN b?jbted TO have been
SUCCESSFULLY made.
Chicago, January 18.
One of the most unique; sifgiea*
operations on reconfc iras fierferised
in this city to-day and one hundred,
and thirty-two Kinghts Templar gare
to the work! a notable example o
fraternal k>ve and heroic sel t-saerrfice,
made in order that a sick brother
might be restored to.heahu. The
Knights even suffered theloss of
piece of cuticle which transferred
to Sir Knight Joff^Skkerswu The
cancer whicli bad attacked hisvthdjgb,]
was removed sometime; agrv but sbr
decp and wide an incision had to be
made in the4 ??sh* iha?. natsre' was
unequal to the'task of beaSag over)
the gaping wound. ?. .
The experiment was triexl of graft
ing fife iMff of %ame oMh? lower
animals, but it foiled. The surgeon
in charge arrooisriccd to BkikersoH?
anxious brethren that if hitman skin
uldv be obtained k would ia" all
probability save the patient's life and
insure his complete recovery. The
question was where to obtain suffi
cient skin to cover 144 square inches
of surface. The matter vas breaeh
ed in the Commander?, and to a man
the K?nghts o?ered to submit them
selves to Vhe necessary operation.
Those Selected by the surgeons have
had tofgo through a sort of training,,
being 'dieted, etc., for several days
past -
THE FIEST SACRinCE MADE.
This morning each man took a bath
and then-repaired to the Emergency
Hospw^ wkere the operation was
performed. ?yerything wa3 in readi
ness^wfc??- tftey; arrived, and Sir
Kmght Smith was led into the opera
ting roofl? te cod tribut e^t be first patch
to the 144 square inclues required.
Dr^^tte^uj?g ba<j,,adm*B.steKj a
quantity of oxide gas to the patient'
on the operating table, enough to
maker him- partly unconscious.
Mr. Smith slipped off his coat and
vest, rolled up the leftr sleeve of his
shirt ami placed himself?t thc-mercy
of the physicians. Two of them,
with.brush and sponge, scrubbed the
fle3Sor,*bdb?fecsurface of *hi& armr
until it tingled to redness. Then
they applied alcohol, to dissolve and
wash away any' microbes or minute
partible?.?- Dr. Barnauer then lifted
a fold of the flexible skin, and with a
delicate, dexterous movement sliced
off a thin, papery strip about a hall
inch wide and two inches long. Sir
Knight Smith siniled, set his teeth
together firmly and looked somewhat
pale, but dki not make a sound.
GRAFTED on THE patient.
Dr. Bemaucr held the strip on his
razor and reached it over to Dr.
?eoger, who seized it with a pair oi
tweezers and m a moment had ap
plied it to bare surface of the patient""
body and pressed it smoothly -down
The raw spot on Mr. Smith's arm
was dressed and bandaged and he
wfesti away with .the parting assur
ance that in ten days it would be al
healed up wjthout a scar to show
where it ha&oeea:
Tee suiyects came rapidly and were
handled with readiness by the expert
attendants. A few were dismisset
because of -advanced age or some
physical disqualification, but a very
large majority of the self-sacrificing
Templars bared their_ arms to the
bright blade.* nd gave a way a part
of themsetv^sFifitfr commendable un
concern.*
thought to BE a success.
??rCD?&eTrsr^ no anaes
thetic after the operation began, and
was wide-awake most of the time.
He watcji$? the'^?sy surroundings
with a <S^r$e of interest," returned
the salutations of many friends who
entered, ami appeared to be in a
confident and comfortable state of
mind. He went tlifoagh* the^triaT
more creditably than some of his
fraternity brothers, as two of them
fainted during the proceedings.
' ft is the hope and belief of the
Knights that their afflicted brother
will soon recover and take his place
among them,- Dr. Fenger and the
physieian3*huid ont much encourage
ment. It will be ten days before the
success or failure of the eyperiment
will be known. If successful the
place should be thoroughly healed
over in thirty days. It is thought
that the cancer is entirely removed,
and it the grafted skin takes hold
and grows Mr. Dickerson will soon
be almost as well as ever.?Philadel

Thoroughbred Horses in Bat
tle.
"Wben I went into the war in 1861,"
said Senator Wade Hampton, "I took
with oe three thoroughbred stallions
rh*t were -worth a prince's ran arm.
One wis as black as u'ghr, ooe was a
dark chestnut and the other was a chest
not st-rrej. You are perhaps aware
that my father waa not only a noted
importer of running horses, but a
famoon breeder of the thoroughbred as
well. I rode the black stallion at tb
first Bnll Ran battle, where I command
the ^Hampton legion, composed of
infantry, cavalry and artillery. At the
famoQs cavalry fight at Breudy Station
with Pleasaoton in 1863 I rode the
chestnut. He-was a hard horse to con
trol in a charge, and he nearly carried
me into the enemy's lines on that day
twice. I rode the chestnut sorrel at the
great cavalry fight in the rear of Meade'e
army on the third day at Gettysburg,
and came oear meeting the same fate as
that 1 escaped from at Brandy Station a
few weeks previous. "My experience
with thoroughbreds is in time of war
that they are safer horses to get away
from (be enemy with than when you are
going toward him, especially when on a
gallop. But when it comes to endur
ance oW thoroughbred will kill three
cold-blooded horses in a campaign
They will go further with less food, go
faster, and show more courage in the
face af danger. I have ridden the
stallions I mentioned! into Federal
batteries, and they never once flinched.
All of them were wounded three or
four times, but they pu il ad through."?

The Paper Industry.
Three thousand millions of poonds is
the estimated yearly production of pa
per. The Uo?te4 Stales has 884 paper
mills and l.lOf^paper machines ; Ger
many 809 mills and 891 machines ;
France 420 mills and 525 machines ;
England 361 mills, 541 machines;

The Czar of Russia is doing all he
can to'make hw"Tfe*pDfrsm odious and
.intolerable. In addition to pa suing
the despo ic policy .traditional with bis
race, jb^is doing other things tbat ap
pear to be gratuitously tyranical. His
"treatment of the Jews is unnecessarily
harsh and much more severe than any
thing thai had been done toward them
by any of his recent predecessors, and
now be ia giving evidence of bis dislike
for foreigners by ordering tlat all alien
workmen employed by bis gpvernmeol
: shall be clirscaarged and shall .leave the
NeoaDtry. Tuts it'?i throw about 11 ;000
meB out of employment and subject
them to g rest hardship. The horrors
of Siberian exile have in no way abated,
asd it would seem that the "protest of
modem civilization against the govern
mental barbarism of Russia bas the
effect of aggravating its odious charac
teristics. In the meantime Nihilism
baa increased reason for plotting against
the life of the unrelenting despot.
