Living Without a Stomach.
Among all the startling discoveries
that are being made in these later
years-und all seem to be in' the line of
human progress and enlightenment
_ says the Hartford Times—we must not
overlook thetriumphs of science and
skill in surgery. In this vitally im~
portant field ‘of medical science the
progress, d111‘ing_;the last fifty or sixty
years, and especially within the last
thirty years, has been really wonder-
fu l-' Mechanical skill and ingenuity
mai he said to have contributed a ve1 y
11:11 limitant co-ope1ative pa1 t to this ad-
veacement, as in the improved ways of
Inciting“ artificial limbs, and appliances
for hernia, etc, all of which go to the
relief of great disabilities and suffer-
ing; but the main advance seems to be
in the surgeon’s s‘a1t itself. Operations
for the removal of inte1nal tumors, and
fan othe1 diseases that were formerly
deemed incurable, a1c now frequently
and successfully performed in almost
every hospital. Some of these are
of a most daring character, and some
' of the most hazardous (not to say seem-
ingly impossible) of these have been
brilliantly successful. Much of this
success has been due to the far greater
modern care and pains to secure abso-
lutely antiseptic conditions.
The doctors, like other scientists,
have learned, at last, the reality of at
. least-one domain of fine and invisible
forces, and their fatal potency under
certain conditions, and they have
learned, too, the way to render these
invisible germs harmless. There are
other great realities in the (to us) in-
visible world of intangible facts, and
. forces which are prpbably destined _ to
be revealed more fully. I Meantime the
progress in surgery is marked by such
moval of diseased portions of the brain ;
the lifting out, washing, and replacing.
of the greater part of the abdominal
viscera; and many other surprising
successes in operations hitherto deemed
too hazardous to attempt. A success-
ful case of trephining for apoplely has
just been performed in a New York
hospital. The dying man’s skull was
cut open, the effused blood from the
brain was allowed to escape, and the
man recovered
Perhaps the most S111 p1 1s1na sur gica
feat ever achieved is related in an ac-
count. printed in another column, of
the entirely successful removal of a hu-
man stomach. The Medical Record.
an influential medical journal in New
York. conducted by Dr. Schra’eder,
publishes the particulars of the case.
The daring operation was performed at
Zurich. Swithrland, by Dr. Carl Schlat-
on the 6th of last September.
The patient, a woman of 56 years, seems
to have entirely recovered, and to be
in much better health than she was be-
few the ope1 ation. The work of digest-
ing and assimilating food is performed
ter.
in. the alimentary canal, without any
stomach—the intestine and the gullet
being united, and bound together with
sutures. In the second week after the
operation the patient took solid food,
, and, was soon "up and dressed,” and
aiding in work about the hospital.
The discovery that the stomach is
not a vital organ is an “astonisher” to
the medical faculty, and many doctors
have visited the Zurich hospital, from
all parts of the world, to verify the re-
markable case. Hitherto it has been
considered impossible for a person to
live without a stomach. '

Why do all boarding house parlors
look alike?
And now the scent of cheap perfume
is in the ai1.
Even tailor-made gowns Ishow evi-
dences of the revival of the train.
Why do we always lose our .best
handkerchiefs, while the 01d torn ones
are never even mislaid?
The shiny black silk frock becomes
with a little ingenuity a lovely black
silk petticoat. .
It won’t be long now before the girl
who received a set of furs at Christmas
will wish they had been shirt waists in-
stead.

Though the Christmas tree fades the
1eal joy 01 ‘Christmas must linger in the
heart of any one whose friends tried to
‘make the day happiei.
And now let all quarrels be made up,
as no one can think that reconciliation
was made With a view to ,a possible
Christmas gift.
We may not think ourselves miserly,
but in each and every one of us is the
instinct to accumulate things whether
we need them 01' not.
It makes one just a bit suspicions
that the gift sent the middle of this
week was not selected until after the
one we sent was sized up as to value
and an adequate return made.

STEEL lNSTEAD 'o‘F wooo.
Enormous Grain Elevators Constructed
of This Metal.
The uses of structural steel, which
made the “sky scrape1" of to- day a
possibility, are constantly extending,
and now it appears that the business of
erecting great towering g1 am elevators
is to be revolutionized. The costly and
dangerousstructures that cleave the
air at the great shipping fronts on riv-
er, lake and ocean front will under the
new order, have perhaps greater ca.-
pacity than those of to-day.
A big grain storehouse as at present
put up, requires from 4,000,000 to 6,000,-
000 feet of lumber; :qu‘itevanitem in
these days of disappearing forests.
Small‘éteel elevators having . proved
successful, architects set to work to
carry the idea further, with the re-fi
sult that the Canadian Pacific Railroad
has built at Fort William, on Lake Su-
perior, and the Northern' Steamship
Company at Buffalo, grain elevators
with a capacity of 30,000000 bushels
each, and it is not improbable that the
last wooden elevator has been built.—

But not every goose will dance to the
music of a commonplaceuaccordion,
and when one is found who will per-
form a jig to its measure “his doings
should be duly chronicled.
In Lanesboro, Pa., one was discov-
ered the other day which became fairly
intoxicated with glee at the sound of
an accordion. He danced a jig, keep-
ing admirable time to the music.
After the experiment had been tried
two or three times his taste for the
pleasure became so’pronounced that
he would venture up to the piazza of
the house with the evident intention
of inviting further music.

King Chulalongkorn of Siam was
much interested in' the eruption of ‘Ve-

E'Topean soil was the ascent of the
v1 lcano. At athe crater he had the
gzride throw in several gold and sil-
vor coins as an offering to the ele-
wants. The guide retained the pieces
and substituted for them copper, where
upon the King had him arrested and
wished to throw him into the crater

The Japanese apply one of theii

ships. They use no wine, but hang
over the ship’s prow a large pasteboard
gate 1511?: of birds, and the moment the
ship is afloat a man pulls a string,
when the. cage opens and the birds fly
away, making the air alive with mu-

that the buds thus welcome the ship

HOW TO' FlND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to u11nate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladdei are out of order.
WHAT To 110.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that D1.Kilme1"s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish 1n relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
evei y part of the urinary passages. It
conects inability to hbld mine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
many times during the night to urin-
ate.
effect of Swamp—Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by d1ugg1sts, price fifty
