Living Without a Stomach.
At Zurich there lives, a woman who
was deprived of her stomach five
months ago by Professor Schlatter, of
that city. It was a daring operation,
buther only chance of life. The mys-
tery is how she contrives to exist, but
she is well, eats well, and has gained
flesh since she lost her stomach. The
secret is that the Professor, after rec
moving the stomach, joined the intes-
tine to the digestive tube. It was
known that digestion is not completed
in the stomach, but goes on in the in-
testine, by means of the pancreatic
juice, and the intestine now does duty
for a stomach. The woman lives chief-
ly on milk. bouillon, and meat out
small.

"Well, sir," said the? old farmer.

, as a" bit of brie-ashrac, are, of course,
' to be had. and are useful when one's
oollection‘is‘ not too large. A~woman
who had a number of beautiful fans
contrived for-their display by mount-
" mg" them against a banner of maroon
velveteen” The fans were opened and
stitched fast to the velvet at conven-
ient points-where the stitches would not
show and'no-lnjury could be done to
the fan. The whole banner was then
mounted on a brass, .rod . and hung
sometimes on a. door against a po’rtiere,
and, on occasion, with the rod slipped
out, and made fast to a screen panel.
