Dog's Bones Saves

llriiudHtedt occupleR a cot" In Ward M of
tho City and County hospital. Ho Is a
laborer and a bit;, healthy looking German
Ainorican cltlzou. Ho wiih hurt on Septem
ber 3 laHt by a fall, both bones of IiIh right
leg being broken between tho nnklo and
knno. Tho small bone or llbula knitted, but
tho lofgor bono or tibia did not heal, but bo
ciiroo Infected. Tho wound wiih very Bori
ous, too, an tho largo bono had boen much
crushed. Spllntors were continually tnkon
from tho wound until tho endu of tho Bound
bono wore nearly Ilvo Inchos apart, and It
was nil but Impossible to bring them to
gothor. Tho Bltuatlon became bo sorlnUB that the
question wns whether tho foot and lowor
part of tho leg Hhould bo amputated or pos
sibly tho leg very much Hhortened. It wns
at this Juncturo that Dr. A. W. Morton,
whoso patient HrnudHtedt in, decided upon
n novel operation, Ho proposed to grnft
.ho bono of a living dog on to tho bono of
tho man and to hold tho Joined boneB rig
idly together until thoy united. Dr. Mor
ton Bald:
"I undertook tho oporation only after
careful planning, and I think It will be buc-

ccHsful, Tho llttlo victim of mirgtcnl science
wns In very healthy condition, nnd wo havo
no Itlua. of sacrllclng his life; in fact I ex
pect to sco htm running about the hospital
in a short time, oven though he lias sacrl
llced ono leg to tho uocds of tho highest
of animals a man.
"A liiudleg of tho dog was used. After
the dog had been given an anesthetic and
IlrandBtedt had boen similarly prepared for
tho operation tho dog's foot was cut off and
tho llcali wns removed bo as to bare tho
bones. Ono of tho bones was plnced In tho
bellow of tho tibia and tho other closo beside
It Hy means of silver wlro the bones of
man and beast were bound together and
then tho usual method of disinfection and
closing tho wound wero adopted. Tho
man's leg nnd tho little dog aro Inclosed In
plnstcr casts so as to hold both absolutely
rigid. Now tho dog will maintain life in
Its own leg nnd tho man will do tho same.
In ten dnys to two weeks' tlmo tho bones
should bo well knitted, then tho llttlo dog
will havo to part with his leg entirely, Tho
freo end of tho bone, which will then bo
part of HrnudBtcdt's leg, wilt bo given to
tho lower end of his broken tibia and 1 be
lieve will knit readily. Naturo will in nor
own wonderful wny supply tho neccs8nry
bono subutnnco nnd soon my patient ought
to bo nblo to stand on us good a right leg as
ho over had.
"Tho llttlo dog will bo properly enred for
and may live, if not to forgot Its strange
experience, nt any rate to enjoy some pleus
nnt romps around tho hospital."
Drandstodt, when seen Inst evening, wns
cheerful nnd hopeful nnd his llttlo fellow
sufforor, though whimpering nt times, was
tanking tho best of Its enforced stillness.

THE CHILDREN.
The dog Is fed on milk given with a spoou
and whenever It becomes too restless a llt
tlo doso of morphine Is administered. Only
tho dog's tall nnd head arc vislblo; nil tho
rest of Its body is ono with the big bundlo
Inclosing tho man's leg. Floth tho llttlo
dog nnd llrandstedt slept uninterruptedly
from 1 p. m. to 8 p. m. on Thursday, and
this In splto of tho fnct that owing to tho
accident nt tho glnBS works near tho foot

He Saved His Leg
Tho Army nnd Navy Journal tells this
story about tho lato Dr. Lowls A. Sayro of
Now York City: "When a young medical
student nt tho Collego of Physicians and
Surgeons In Now York ono of tho operntlng
physicians was about to cut off an Irish
man's leg, but beforo beginning tho opera
tion gave a long talk to tho students on
amputation. Tho Irishman lay on the
operntlng tablo In full possession of his fac
ulties, nnd as ho listened to tho dlscourso
he, grow whiter nnd whiter. Finally ho
Jumped from tho operating table, crying:
'Get me mo breeches, bo gob; I'll dlo with
mo leg on! And with that ho was out of
tho room. Dr. Sayro found him several
days Inter with his kneo bndly swollen. Tho
young doctor promptly cut open tho knee,
but saved tho leg. One day ho had no lint
to bind tho wound, so ho used tho tow
stuffllng sticking out of an old horsehair
sofa. When ho called again ho found the
wound so much Improved that ho reasoned
that tow, dipped In Peruvlnn btlsam, would
not only disinfect a wound, but would keep
h freo from pus. This wns tho foundation
for ono of tho most satisfactory successos
ho ovor had in surgery. It was tho means
of Introducing into tho nrmy tho use of
tarred hemp, or onktim, as a dressing for
wounds."
Humors of Advertising
It is In thoir intlmato tono, tholr con
liaentlnl attitude, that tho English adver
tisements differ most widely from our own.
Tho brief announcements, so familiar to
us, of "woll-furnlshod rooms," "pleasant
apartments nt tho seaside," "board for two
single gentlemen in n private family,"
havo a cold, almost repollnnt, nspect, when
compared to tho genial hospitality with
which strangers uro Invited to enter "tho
fnlr, freo homes of Englnnd." Miss Sophia
Dealo of Dovonshlro, for exnmplo, offers
to recelvo a few "sketching boarders, or
other students, requiring pence and qulot.
View of pines nnd harbor from windows."
Ono sees tho "skotchlng boardorB" every
Englishwoman sketches as a matter of
course washing In tho Hkyllno on tholr
little pads, and grateful occasionally for
tho shelter of Miss Dealo's windows In a
land of perpetual showers. Still more
personal Is tho following seductive adver
tisement, which nppeared onco only In a
well-known mngnzlno:
"Homo for lndy In charming old dotached
cottage, near Hlver Thnmes, Convenient
to station. Sevonteon miles from London.
Would suit lltornry lady requiring quiet,
yet cheerful home. For companionship and
tuition to young wife of neglected educa
tion, would nrrango easy terms,"
There Is tho material for n novel In these
suggestlvo lines. Tho lonely, Ignornnt,
young wlfo In bur "detached" cottage; tho
husband, older, of course, with Just enough
of learning to feel his. sense of superiority;
tho stranger Introduced to play com
plnecntly the part of guide, philosopher and
friend. What complications might not
arise from such a situation; though In
point of comfort nnd luxury It fnlls far
short of a companion advertisement in tho
same paper:
"A gentleman residing nlono in his dis
tinctly suporlor country houso (ono hour
from London) desires n permanent guest
of congenial and refined tasto (lady or
gentleman), who would have tho run of
his delightful, secluded gardens and of
tho ontlro premises equally with himself
and who would appreolntc tho retirement
of a qulot homo. Write fully, stating ago,
habits nr.n profession."
Lack of Appreciation
A woman had a cook who gavo her every
satisfaction, nnd she was under the Impres
sion that tho cook wns equally satisfied
with her place, rolntes Youth's Companion.
Hut one morning, so the story goes, tho
cook gavo her tho usual month's notice.
"What do you want to leave for, Jano?"
asked tho mistress. "I am very much
plenscd with you, and I thought you were
qulto comfortable hero."
"Yes, mum, I'm comfortable enough In a
way, but "
"But what?" queried tho mistress.
"Well, mum," sho blurted out, "tho fact
Is tho master doesn't seem to 'preclnto my
cookery, and I enn't stop In n plnco whore
my efforts to pleaso aro wasted; so I'd
rathor go, mum."
"But what makes you think your mastor
doesn't appreciate your cookery? Has ho
over complained to you?" asked tho woman.
"No, mum; but my into master wns al-

An Educational Calendar
The WOO calendar Issued by the Bemls
Omaha Hag company was considered to bo
the most unique, handsome and attractive
calendar of the year. The work was en
tirely their own, from the weaving of the
cotton to the last nail which fastened the
sticks that held the twelve attractive
sheets together.
Their calendnr for tho new century will
ecllpso la every respect their issue of 1000.
The nccompanylug cut gives soma Idea of
what this Is to be. There aro twelvo cotton
sheets, ench ono worked up in handsome
design nnd back-ground, and each sheet
bearing a certain number of lings tho entire
enlendnr carrying tho authentic tings of the
world. Llko their 1900 calendar, tho one
for tho now century Is entirely the work of
tho Ilemls Omaha Hag company, the goods
having boon spun In their cotton mill,
treated In their blenchery especially for tho
purpose Intended; tho designing nnd en
graving was originated In their Omahu
factory and the calendar will be put to
gether and completed In mailing shape by
their own employes. There Is, of course,
a limited issue and thcro will bo but ono
each for their trade. The calendars cannot
bo bought at any price, so that those who
are customers of tho Hemls Omaha nag com
pany may consider themselves truly
fortunate.

the young man with the yellow diamond

"Yes, Indeed. Look nt tho guy that says
tho world is his oyster."
"What's tho matter with that?"
"What's tho matter with thut? W'y, to
