w'H'i sM- MMI'titty Surgwm. ns discussed with much ay the account which wai from Chicago to The Time* ||iii lifting operation being per- Mrs. W. W. Blake at the 'hospital. The dispatch stated thaffc W-lSiSco inches of cuticle had beetf * " W from Mr. Blake's body and suo- sfnlly grafted "topon his wife's arma, added that this was the largest skin ever sacrificed by on® petSOii for the benefit of another. Th© latter statement is possibly cor- (M^ bat a similar operation of much greater difficulty and magnitude has just twen performed at the Missouri Pacific hospital in this city by Dr. George Hainel* The patient is a man named McCarthy who was injured recently in a railway accident, and Dr. Hamel found it necea- K'~ wry to remove no less than 258 square 4 inches of skin from various parts of the man's body and graft it upon his injured legs. Each piece of skin was about three v laches long and from one to two inches wide. The operation has been success- ,* ful in every respect, and although Mo Carthy is still in the hospital he is de- % tained there by other injuries than to his * tigs. The quantity of skin used in this ' V oase is said to be much greater than toy Other known to surgical records. : McCarthy has been visited by many physicians, and his case has excited much interest. He will be discharged from the 1 Ifospital within a few days.--Kansas City ' Timea . • , FIRE FOILS CUPID. '\v tedSfry of Ma Angry Lover Mid •Hurt' broken Maiden. * i I know a case where the course of true ' " ' love has run crooked as a ram's horn. JKiss Blank, a graduate of the Bellevue teaming school, was wooed and won by • gay young doctor. He took a mort­ gage on her affections in the form of an engagement contract and sailed away ' to complete his education at the medical K] Schools abroad. This was two yean • ago last September, and for a year and a day after his departure love's rivulet Stan smoothly. Then the serpent entered their Eden. 4- i - The girl lost her lover's address in a fire f - which consumed her abode so quickly that she escaped only with her life and her nightgown. His letters continued to Come regularly for a number of weeks. At length he began to express surprise ttiat she had not written. Then came re- ,, •, proaches* then anger, then anxiety and finally despair. In none of his communi- t v eations, however, did he think to give his address. The girl was nearly frantic. Faithful to the last, he sent her a cable a year ago last Christmas. Since then fftip has not heard from him. He lives in Uinneapolis, and his family name is % common one. She does not know his fethers initials. Was ever a lovelorn maiden in such a plight, and did Cupid '; ivw play a meaner trick on his votaries? \ '--New York Mail and Express.

The district selected ""M on the Lykipia plateau, near Mount •' Kenia, in the British sphere of influence. < '• -An offer has been made to the British ' foreign office to purchase a large tract ' on the condition that, while the comma- j|r>% jnity shall be subject to the general laws y "which the British government may im- -'pose, it shall have absolute freedom to regulate its internal affairs on a social­ istic basis. It is said that the British government is averse to giving absolute rights of ownership in the land, but the organizers are apparently in earnest. 3?hey have secured as a leader Herr Den- hardt, who is well known on the east coast of Africa.

A novel suit is liable to be begun at Superior by P. A. Viles, father of Retta Viles, 11 years old, against the Electric company. About four weeks ago the &"?. girl, in running, struck her cheek against 1/ i a guy wire of one of the poles along ,'L,V which the electric lighting wires are ; strung. The girl's attorney says that $.f;2 the guy wire had become charged by in- \ duction and that the shock pulled three of her teeth--two molars and a bicuspid. Ef .
