The highest-priced newspaper in the world is the Mashonaland Herald and Zambesian Times, printed at Fort Salis- bury, in Mashonaland. It costs a shilling a copy, is the size of a. sheet of foolscap, and is issued da' y. The printing is done by the useful he tograph, the printing ma- chine evidently not yet having penetrated into this interesting region of South Af- rica. A recent issue announces the arrival of the telegraph at Fort Salisbury, and this region, only two years ago wholly occupied by savage peoples, is now within an hour of London. The newspaper complains of the absence of any banking facilities and Dr. Agnew, of New York, saw a case on Monday, and urged an opera- tion. but the attending physician and the family preferred to wait. On the following Friday, being asked to oper- ate, Dr. Agnew refused. In another case, a consulting physician urged an immediate operation, but the family physician thought the patient would recover from this attack as he had done from others, The consulting physician replied that without an operation the man would be dead within three hours. He died in half that time. 'uv â€"Vâ€"-_v' ‘â€" says the commoifity is ové'rsupplied with educated men who are “just now seeking suitable workâ€"some work of any sort.” They Painted Their Statues. Edward Robinson, in the Century, re- ports, as the judgment arrived at after patient investigation, that the Greeks and Romans painted their marble statues, cow- ering the whole surface, except possibly where, in part, the natural color of the marble served the purpose. The aim was to imitate nature in the matter of color a. the sculpture did is: that of form. Without such an operation the pus becomes septic, cr putrid, and fills the system with blood poison. This change in the bus takes place by the third day Yet many patients will not consent to an operation until the case becomes one of life or death, and not a few phys1cians even sympathise with them. 1 Appendicitis is a more common dis- ease than physicians were formerly aware of, for many cases that were formerly looked upon as colic are now known to have been appendicitis. It is of supremeimportance that the dis- ease should be recognized early, since the main hope of recovery lies in a. surgical operation, and this must be performed early or not at all.

It tends to form an abcess, which breaks generally into the abdomen, but some- times into the liver, the bladder, the chess or the veins When it breaks into the abdomen it gives rise to that painful and dang<~rous disease, peritoni- tIS. From the lower part of the ascending colon projects a. hollow, worm-shaped appendage, a few inches long, with a. diameter about the size of a lead pencil. This is known as the vermfiorm appen- dix. chal matter, and occasionally a. seed, may find its way into the. appen- dix and cause it to become inflamed. Why Orange Seeds and Such Sub- stances Should not be Swallowed. The intestines consist of two princi- pal parts, the small and the large. The small intestine extends, in a. sort of coil, from the stomach to the right side of the lower part of the abdomen. The large intestine, into which the other opens through a. narrow slit, extends from this point to the upper part of the abdomen and then crosses over and descends on the left side. It is called the colon. The Highest-Priced Newspaper. NEWS ITEMS. fru tn Was Known. THE W'ATCHMAN LlNDSAY, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, [892. Curiosity Shop “Finds.” One of the “finds” frequently made in old curiosity shops on the continer t, and articularly in Paris, is the cross of the exica. order created by the ill-fated Maximilian. As for the insignia. of Isabella. the Catholic, that decoration and the mili- tary orders created by her father, Queen Isabella bestowed so generously that many unworthy people had them, and the lavish bestowal of them_ suggested the libretto of Carrier Pigeons in France. Englishmen, it appears, enjoy in France a curious privilege, which is rigidly withheld from Germans and Belgians. It is that of flying carrier pigeons. This, however, as explained by Mr. Tegetmeier in his curious lecture on this subject, published in “The lournal of the United Service Institutian,” is on the strict condition that both the birds and the senders are English. In Belgium alone, according to this authority, there are 600,000 racing birds, which in case of a War would be put at the diaposal of the government, and every one of these is a trained bird. They used, it is stated, to train them over the south of France, but that is now interdicted, and no birds from Belgium or Germany are allowed to be trained in France. The fear, of course, is that in the event of a war trained pigeons would be smuggled into the interior, and thus information could be carried out. Mr. Tegetmeier sees no difficulty in establishing “pigeon lofts” for military purposes. There is a military pigeon loft at Rome, another at the Island of Madalena, another at Cagliari, and they practice on what is called the Cagliari Napoli line. The dis- tance between these two places is 294 miles. They throw the birds from ships, and they have, we are assured, been known to do a. distance of as much as 287 miles over the sea at about twenty-one miles an hour.â€"â€"London News. “La. Grande DuchesSe. ” Marked Differences Between American Statistics and Those of Great Britain. One showing made by the recent report of the inter-state commerce commission ought, according to the Boston Traveller, to attract wider attention than it appears to have done, and especially the attention of those in the control of our railroads. The total number of persons killed on rail- roads in the United States in the year covered by the report was 6,334, while the number killed on the railroads of the Unit- ed Kingdom ior the same period was 1,168. The number receiving injuries in the Unit- ed States was 99,035, as against 5,060 for the United Kingdom. These figures are certainly not to our credit, and indicate that something is wrong somewhere. There is certainly no such preponderance in the number of employes or passengers in this country as is here indicated. One passenger was killed out of every‘ 1,727,789 carried on American railroads, while in Great Britian the ratio was only one out of every 7,767,- 000. When it comes to employes, the showing against us is much worse. While only twenty-four persons were killed in the United Kingdom while coupling cars, there were 369 killed in this country, and 7,842 were more or less severely injured. There is a cryinrr need of reform, and this we be have can he secured if the railroad managers only take hold of it in earnest. The heartless wretches, assuming the character of humane benefactors, pretend they thus provide the weakly child with the means of gaining his living and also procure the parents a censiderable pecu« niary advantage. The operation to which the unfortunate creature is subjected is as effectual as it is simple; The legs of the child are so tightly compressed that the circulation of the blood in them is stopped. Little by little the legs wither away and the cul-de-jatte is manufactured. In 1887 M. “’aldeck Rousseau, then Minister of the Interior, prohibited the introduction of these Spanish culs-de-jatte into France, but it is supposed his decree has become a dead letter, for it is estimated that recently 300 or 400 of the poor creatures cross the fron- tier every year. They are now seen in al- most every town in France, and have got as far north as Belgium. To be a cul-de- jatte must be a profitable trade for the beggar farmers who manufacture them and bring them from Spain, as these traders pay the parents of the poor cripples a. sit- tance of only 50 centimes to 1 franc a ay for their hire. One franc is, however, an exceptionally high price, which is given only if the cul-de-jatte has some additional infirmity, such as blindness, or if he has but one arm. Twenty or thirty years ago the culs-de- jatte were almost unknown in France, and these deplorable-looking cripples are the product of what may be called an industry. Almost all the numerous deformed little creatures who roll themselves about on boards come from Spain, and more especi- ally from Tolosa. or the neighborhood, situ- ated at about twenty-two kilometers to the south of St. Sebastian. They are the outcome of the abominable practices of beggar “farmers,” who seek their victims among the children of the peasants. When there is a weakly boy in the family they persuade the parents that he can never be anything but a burden to them unless they have him transformed into a cul-de-jatte, and promise to pay them a trifle a day so long as the cul-de-jatte is left with them. > Ionâ€"warm 4m>0m 41).”. meCN. .mImm .2 93:2. â€"The Extent of the Trade. The Gingerbread Fair, as it is called, which is held every spring in the Faubourg St. Antoine and the Place de la Nation, is notorious for the number of natural and artificial phenomena exhibited there to the public. This year their number has been greatly increased by the arrival of about twenty culs-dejatte, who are wretchedly lodged in huts on a piece of waste ground in the Cours de Vincennes. These cripples, whose minute, shriveled-up legs are curled up on the boards on which they sit, foun a colony which calls to mind the Cours des Miracles of former times. Every morning they all issue forth, Lpropelling themselvel with their hands, to take up their respecv tive places at the lair, there to await the pence which may be thrown to them by the compassionate passers-by. Their aspect is so pitiful that it is said many of them make a real harvest, which, however, oi course, goes to the beggar “farmer.” ARTIFICIAL CRIPPLES.
