THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLOMBIA COUNTY, PA. Making a Now Arm fora Man. A surgical operation of exceeding in terest isl)o!ni performed lit tho Ilatnio man Hospitaljsays tho JT. Y. 7Ytbnie. It Is ono of those cases that cannot bo finished at a single sitting, but which must bo carried through various stages in i progressive way lrom tho begin ning to ilio end. It. was begun about thrco weeks ngo, and from tho present indications thero is little doubt that tho result desired will bo attained. Tho patient is Christopher Doll, a German, 31 years old. Ho received his injury accidentally. Ho was ex tremely fond of smoking a pipe. One ovening about nine months ngo ho was enjoying a quiet smoke in his room, and wliilo reading fell asleep. In some way tho pipe, which ho still held in his mouth, was overturned, and tho hot ashes fell from tho bowl upon his shirt sleovo and set it on lire. It smothered a tinio and burned several small holes in tho si cove, and then it burst into a tlamo and tho sleeper was aroused. Tho firo had reached his llesh, and ho toro at tho burning cloth madly. Ho rolled over on tho floor, and tmally tho tlamo was extinguished. His right arm from the wrist to the shoulder was terr'bly burned, and it looked as If tho tlesh could bo scraped from tho bono without trouble. Tho pain was intense, and from tho nature of tho wound it appeared as if the arm would havo to be amputated closo up to tho shoulder. Private medical treat ment was tried for a time, but as it did not accomplish any material bene fit Doll went to a hospital. Ho re. maincd under constant caru for two months, lly this timo the forearm had healed, leaving a frightful scar, with the cicatrical tissue drawiug in every direction. Despite tho most per severing treatment tho upper portion of tho arm from the elbow to tho shoulder could not be healod. Tho pa tient went to several hospitals, but could get no rcliof. Theie was Bitch a largo surface of exposed flesh in tho wound that tho pus formation was un usually large, and tiie antiseptic pre cautions which wcro taken did not pre vent the absorption ot the poisonous matters into tho patients ovstera Thus a dangerous condition of blood poisoning was set up. He grow pale and emaciated, lost his strength, and courage, and when ho-was admitted to the Hahnemann Hospital, about two months ago, ho was a living skeleton with hardly muscular power enough lett to raiso his hand. As soon as ho was admitted mcas urea wero taken to stamp out the blood contamination, which were eventually successful, and patient began to recov er strength. "yiien ho got strong enough and his body was sufficiently free from the incidental disease, it was determined by the attending surgeon to mako a new upper arm from the tlesh of the patient's body, and to heal up the wound by covering it over with healthy tissue. At first small pieces of flesh wore taken from various parts of his body and placed in different spots upon the raw shoulder as a mat tor of experiment,to determino whether the tlesh could be successfully crafted The experiment was successful. Tho little pieces of flesh and skin united and made little oases on the dise&sed shoulder. These minor operations .were performed several days apart and without too use of anv other than local ana'Sthetic. Everything had gone ,on so well that about ten days ago it was determined to begin I ho moro important part of tho operation, which conaited in covering up a large portion of the arm at ono time will flesh. The patient was first put under tho inlluence ot an anesthetic. Then all tho cicatrical tissue upon the upper arm was scraped with a kmlo until wed proiusely and was entirely raw. "Wlrile tho arm was held awav from the body two incisions wero mado about ttirce inches apart running upward lrom all tho nhs tor about seven inches. At the lower end of these incisions crosscut was made, and then the strip ot nesn was dissected up trom the ribs. the full length of tho incision, making ajargollap. 1 his was. lei t united at the upper end. Then tho patient's arm was brought close to his side and this loose flap was laid over on tho raw flesh on the arm and carefully pressed and fitted iiuo position. When this had been done there was still largo section of tho upper back arm remaining uncovered. Two in cisious were again made similar to th first two, running up and down the upper portion of the side of tho back, Tho flesh was thick at this point, and permitted a free dissection. While tho upturned flesh was yet palpitating with the heart inlluence, it was put over the bleeding'Hurfaco of tho arm and fitted into place. Then the two flaps were securely fastened into posi lion by loug bands of sticking plaster, while larger bands were run over th lower portion of tho arm and around tho abdomen and back, and interlaced so that all motion of tho arm was stoi ped. After the wholo wound had been covered with an antiseptio dressing, mo ether cone ,va.s taken oil the pa tients lace, and ho soon recovere consciousness. He suffered littlo from rihock, and the. hemorrhage was com paratiyely slight. The arm was kept securely fastened to his Bido for a wcuk, and the wound was carefully dressed every day. At first it was not thought that tho tlesh from the side would adhero te the tlesh on tho arm, but after two days it took n h rm hold and grew as it it belongs there, and little shoots of new lies! branched out in every direction few days ago tho ends uniting tho tw flaps to tho body wero severed, th loose portiotis were drawn around tl under side of the arm, tho edges trim med so as to make a perfect fit, and wero then united with sutures. contimiiiiL' the operation it will necessary to alter tho shapo of the flaps in some places. Unly a little slougl: iug has taken place, and this has had no injurious effect. Tho arm now presents a comparatively natural an pearanee. Tho biceps tnusclo will Homewnat restricted until It gets usee to tho now covering, and then it will move as freely as ever. Tho patient is physically strong, and since tho pat lias subsided in his arm, has improved perceptibly, and the prospects are that lie will bo ablo to imvo the hospital about a week with u now arm.

The Mind and the Legs. from the Venter TrUjune-lleputAicai), Men ceneially cross their legs when there is the least pressure on their minds. You will never find a man no tually engaged in business with his lees crossed. Tho limbs at thoso times aro straighter than at any other, be cause the mind and body work together, A man engaged 111 auditing accounts will uever cross his legs; neither will a raau who is wiitiug an article, or who is employed in any manner where hi brait( is actively engaged ; when at work in n silting posture the limbs naturally extend to tho floor in a per fectly Btraigtit line. A man may cross bis legs if he is sitting in an ollice chair discussing somo .business proposition with another man, but the instant he becomes really in earnest and peiccives fcotnething to be gained, his limbs un cross quick as a Hash, ho bends forward toward his neighbor, and begins to use his hands, That is a phase that I be ltevo you will always observe. Men often cross their legs at publia. meetings uecuuso tney go thero to lis. ten, or to be entertained ; they aro not the factors in the performance, and thry naturally place themselves in the most comfortable position kuown to them, namely, that of leaning well back In their chaiis nnd crossing their legs. A man always crosses his legs when he reads a newspaper, but is moro apt to Ho down when be reads n book. Ho reads the paper, of course to inform himself, but at tho same time tho per usal of its contents is recreation for him, and his body again seeks its po sition of relaxation. When a man is reading a unwspa per and waiting for his breakfast his legs aro always crossed, but so soon as tho breakfast is brought to him ho puts the paper aside, straightens out his legs, and goes to work; that Is, begins to eat, his mind now turning on the duties of thu day before him. Men cross their legs in a ballroom, but it Is far from an elegant thing to do, and is not done by thoso who havo been brought up In good society. It is your "three.pcnny.bit young man" who crosses his legs at a ball, and, would you believe it, I havo seen young ladies do tho eamo thing!

Mark Twain. HIS llfMOItOUs WItlTISIlS I'AII) IIIM A 11ICII Al'TUOIt. IIAVK Mark Twain has received from "In nocents Abioad nnd "llio Glided Age," nearly or finite $o0l),00(), and he ha recently diawn So:i,000 on the proceeds of four mouths' salo of "Huckleberry r inn. It we add to thce figures the dividends obtained from "lioiighing It," ''Tom Sawyer,'' maguz'1110 ailteles, and his ablest woi'n. tho patent scrap-book, Mr. Clemens his probably made moie money by his pen than any other wiilcr except Sir Walter Scott if, indeed, his earn ings do not aggregate ns much as Scott's. If, then, nu author's casli no count is the true measure of his literary ability, the St. Loins Republican urgej Jlr. (JlemHiis 1ms had but onu uval in all tho ages. lie is a veritable whale among the nisigiiiticant minnows which people the sea of literatme. The poorest of his inngHzinu articles brought him at least double thu puiii .Milton resetted lrom "J aradlse host;' Jour months rtceipts lrom "lluckel berry Finn" nro more than Shake speato was paid for nil his dramas ; "Innocents Abroad has been more profitable in a financial wav thau were the collective poeniB of Wadswotth, Somhey, Shelley nnd Coleiidge, ami the patent tcrap book has been a rich er mine than that of Addison and hwiti. As lor such impecunious scribblers as Spenser, Burns and Poo the sum total of their pecuniary re wards did not amount to as much as half tho proceeds of the dramatic ver sion of '-The Gilded Age." P. or Barns was dunned on his death bed for a debt of $35. A revised edition of Mr. Clemens' "Jumping Piog" would bring the creator ot that tamous annual ten times as much as the miserable sum which vexed the last hours of the sweetett of song writers. Obicago's Great Clock. Tho works of thp immense clock which has been put til) in tho board of trailo building in Chicago an- pro nounced a most jierfnct reproduction of thoBO of the oreat Westminister palace clock in London, hut with somo additions and improvements adapted to its commercial purpose. It is con structed of iron, bronze and steel, and weighs ten tons witltin.t the bell, the latter adding some .t,,)00 pounds more. Tho pendulum alone weiuhs .ri0 pounds. In its airangemeut the works are divided into a lime train, a hand train, and a striking train, theso seve ral trains coinpiisiiii' eeperato frames. Each of tho tiaius is operated by a teparato weight, and tho three weitthts together reach somo !),,Q0 pounds. The hammer that strikes the Loll weighs eighty pounds', the clookwoik is below the dials, which aro ten feet too inches in diameter, and thu bell is aboe them, or 2,")0 feet above the ground. Tho pendulum swings one way 111 two seconds. A Uuildipg for Workirn; Women, Warner brothers, tho well known corset manufacturers, havo commenced the erection of a building in Hrirliro. port, Conn., to cost $35,000, for the free use of tho 1,000 girls employed it; their factory. The building will bo a bout seventy feet squaro and three stories high. The first story will ho devoted to a restaurant, where gc od meals will be furnished at cost. The second story will contain a largo read ing room and library, conversati"ii room, music room, bath room and lava, tory. The third story will contain a go hall, sealing COO, a small hall seating 150, and class rooms, wliero ovening classes in singing, penmanship, chaw ing, book-let cping, tancy needle-work, .te, will bo taught. The building will be under tho caio of a competent matron, and will be free to all gills in Warner Hrothers' employ. It will be the tiist building of this kind ended in this country and will without doubt prove the practical wisdom and benevolence of its project or. A Hawk Catches a Oit- A huge California hawk swooped down on a sleeping cat at Santa Uosa, California, tho other day, and bore it squalling and scratching high in tho air. When about 500 feet hiah the hawk lost its grip, and the cat came down with fearful velooity, but the nawk caught it again lust before it struck thu earth, and was carrying it off when suddenly both fell like lead to to tho ground. Tho cat had bitten through the hawk's h-'ad, killing it in, stantly, and the fall killed the oat. Tha Wheat Outlook. Seventeen hundred reports, covering every important whoit country iu Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kansas, nud Missouri say tho present prospects of tho growing crop are very favorable in Indiana, Misiouri, Illinois, and Ohio, fair to good in Michigan, and poor in Ivansa.
