The physicians say that their patient is doing well, although it is too early to determine whether the operation willprove a success. Some time ago young Folwellreceived an injury which resulted in necrosis orrotting of the right shinbone. A few days ago it was decxded that amputation of the limb would be necesSary to save the boy’s life and, after the parents had been so notified and prepared for the worst, Dr. Carl V. I Vischer, one of the surgeons oi the hospital ‘ staff, decided that bone grafting might save the limb. Accordingly a big, fine-looking, sheep was procured at the stock yards and taken to Dr. Vischer’s laboratory. The animal was shorn and shaved and kept in a first-class condition until Wednesday, when Prince Henry of Prussia has sent a num- ber of bottles filled witn water from the River Jordan to the Minister stationed on Heligoland, to be used for baptismal pur- poses. The Hohenzollerns are always baptized with water of the Jordan. Since 1868 the foreign trade of Japan has increased ten-fold, and amounted in 1894 to 230,728,042 silver dollars.

The boy was placed under the Influence of ether and the part of the bone of the rightleg for seven inches above the ankle joint was carefully cut away. The sheep in the meantime had been chloroformed and the surgeons cut away a portion of its foreleg to the exact measurement of the part the place of which it was to take. As soon as the bone was taken from the sheep it was fitted in the gap and the joints of the boy’s bone were cove:ed with periosteum from the sheep's bone, in order to afford the proper nourish- ment to the bone. The entire operation was carried on under the strictest antiseptic treatment, and as soon as the sheep had served its purpose its throat was cut. Only a. few‘ such operations have been succassfully carried out, the earlier method of employing pounded animal bone, decal- cified, havmg been almost universally un- successful. If Che operation comes up to the expectation of the surgeons, Falwell will walk and run as well as he ever did in his life. SOME DDI] USES FOB.

A young poet had written a most Icurriloua poem, in which be had described and libeled not only the empress. but also the grand dukes and duchessea. The censor of the press went and told the emperor. .“ T.he man had better be sent. off to blbena at once,” he said ; “it is not a cue for delay." “Oh, no,” said the empress, "wait a little, but tell the man I desire to see him as 6 o’clock to-morrow evening.” When the poor man was told this he felt as if the last hour had come and that the emperor (Alexander II.) must intend him- self to pronounce eternal exile. He went to the palace and was shown through all the grand staterooms, one after another. without seeing anyone. till at last he arrived at a small, commonplace room at the end of them all, where was a single table with a lamp upon it, and here he saw the empress, the emperor, and all the grand dukes and duchesses whom he had mention- ed in the poem. " How d9 you do, sir ?” said the emperor. “I hear that you have written a most beautiful poem, and I have sent for you that you may read it aloud to us yourself. and I have invited all the grand dukes and ducheeses to come that, they may have the pleasure of hearing you.” Then the poor man prostrated himself at the emperor’s teen. “Send me to Siberia. sir," he said; “Send me to Siberia. sir," he said ; “force me to become a soldier, only do not compel me to read that poem.” "0, air. you are cruel to refuse me the pleasure, but. you will not be so ungallant as to refuse the empress the pleasure of hearing your verses, and she will ask you herself.” And the empress asked him. When he had finished she said: “1 do not think he will write any more verses about, us again. He need not go to Siberia. just yet.” A nobleman entered into a conspiracy against the emperor and was sentenced ’0 Siberia. His eyes were bandaged, and he was put. in a dark csrriage.and for seven days and nights they traveled on and on, only stopping to take food. At. last he felt, they must have reached Siberia, and in the utmost anguish he perceived that the cur- riage had stoppedmnd the bandage was taken from his eyes, andâ€"he was in his own home!
