Two pa tients were brou.tit to him, one of whom was suffering under an iujury which necessitated amputation of the thigh, mid the other troiu a disease if the humerus, w hich called for excision of a part of that bone. The professor proceeded to opera'e upon the first of these patients, aud he then removed the diseased portion of the bone from the arm of the second one, leaving neces sarily a gap. This he actually tilled with a portion of the healthy bone from the amputated leg, a:.d a successful union was ma.le. The second patient was by this clever cierat.on endowed with a serviceable arm, in.-tead of one which would probably luve been useless. TAe process of weighting silk l y tin salts has beeu often uVscribed, but this is from auolher source: The bichloride Is reduced l.y water to 15., which is the strongest solution that can be em ployed with safety, stronger would be likely to injure the fiore; at 3P li , the silk becomes lough a;.d valueless; at 4u IS. the liber is dissolved. The silk Is well wvi'ied m the solution, until perfectly saturated, left two hours in the liquor, taken out and washed. One dip adds about eight per cent to the weight, three treatments give an In crease of about ilo per cent. Bare hands must not be used in working the goods in bichloride of t:n at 30 15.; it acts Injuriously upon the skin from Its strong acidity. Tlie silk must be well washed before It Is souped; any cf tte tin solution left iu would decompose the soap. A. rule, which physicians say is a good one, to dele. mine the normal weight of man is as follows: A man should weigh j"st as many kilograms as he measures centimetres in he ght after deducting one metre.

FARM NOTES. roti.TitY-Trr .SoitaTCUivas. Charcoal U mucb appreciated by the fowls. Tbe bet la formed of charred train. Corn roasted like coffi-e and fed twice a week weuld no doubt -par for the trouble. Wbit and oats sliould be given a'. teruaiely oati always dry; wheat eith er dry or cooked. I bave Invariably had good results from feeding sound heat boiled to bursting. A moderate dosa of sulphur given twice a week serves as a Uxative and blood purifier. The sulphur permeates the whole sys em, even coming through the skin; and, being death to insect life, causes parasiUs to drop off. Season all soft food with a pinch of salt. A s i all quantity of flaxseed meal mixed with their morning meal is al strongly advised. It makes their plumage bright and eloesy, and deepens the color of their combs and earloea. Moulting hens require extra attention. Tbeir rations should consist cf a variety of foods, rich in all the elements of nu trition, tor every want of the system must le satuttied lefore the pnerssof feather-making can be mateiU.ly as sisted. Dry lime is too caustic to V fciven alone. Keep a vessel of lime-water convenient, and mix a small quai.tity with food Hud also with their dm king water. Lime water is a corre ' ve of bowel diseases, and it is also a .coieJf for soft-shelled eggs. Moke fresh dust Laths ai sprinkle them slightly with cai uollc . id. Fro Tide a plentiful supply of : ..I or s'::arp gravel. Keep feeding-: jughs aud driuking-vessrls e'ean aiu wholesninie. And toward the close or the moul' iu season make a uuuilr of nice no a nests, lor hens thus cued for w.ll ay for the trout le by heaping your e: baskets when the market is at its best. The value of lime in the poultry-yard canuot be overestimated; exiwrience teaches that there Is nothing more effec tive as an insect-lies', rover, than a thick coating of whitewash made of fiedi 1. me and an infusion of crude caitol.c acid. Cleanse tlie house thoroughly be fore applying, aud over every accessible portiou of the wood woik,esiecialiy the perches and the sills on which they lest. A generous fuuiigatiju cf sul phur and tobacco is also advantageous. I'ovi.tky Tories. Incubator-hatched chicks do not require food until tweutv-four hours alter tl.ey are hatch ed. Keep them in a comfortably warui brooder away from light or drafts. Wideawake farmers own pure-bred fowls, w hich cost no more to feed, and the ratio i f profit is greater than v.-.th barnyard stock. Wl.y should not every farmer do so? Better test this matter thoroughly this spring. Experience will certainly prove its wisdom. The Incubator that was started eaily this year Is turning out the l.ttle downy chicks by hundreds. This meaus, with good management, a lot of early spring broilers at double the value of laier hatched. It ays to be first In the mar ket wit., the few, rather than be one of the late fellows aud lose the cream of the profits. Those who have never rauel ducks do not know that ducklings grow much faster than chi kv and come at a tiu.e w hen the best prices for chicks have passed. Ducks will lay at least one hundred and forty eggs a year, and w ill begin when six months old. 1 he IVkiu is a creau. y w hite, by many consulend the best for the farmer, be!ii hardy and of good size-dusslng, when in market condition, to meet the most ex acting tastes. Many country dwellers have lever thought of raising fruit aud poultry iu the same yard. They woik admiiably together. A row of plum or pear trees can be planted along the i-oultry run, when the choice is made or a location tor the poultry buildings. The drop pings from tiitj fowls improve the soil about the trees, and the chickens will eat the wormy and curcnli -stung fruit v hen it drops to the ground. There is nothing Letter for the chicken, and for the trees. Sitting hens must have attention. One Is liable to foiget that warm Weath er brings lice. A clean nest is the tir-t requi.-ite. If the nest-box is well oiled wi h keiosene and the hen thoroughly dusted Uuhach insect powder, tie-re willle no lice. This means a quiet, steady sitter, the result of which will be a good hatch. '1 he hen, after she is about to leave the nest with her biood, should be d nsted w ith the Insect-powder again. Chicks h itched by an Incubator are very seld m troubled with lice. This Is one good point in favor of arti ficial hatching,and means steady growth, brieglug theui into marketable condi tion earlier, and at ti e lime when good prices prevail. Love Your Animals. If it refei red to the equine r ace we should say there was a g od deal of "liorseseusa In the follow ing remarks by a Western writer; but It is good advice, anyway, for the man who has no liking lor domestic animals will very rarely prove successful as a t reeder or stock farmer: If yo I do not love a little, fat. saucy I'oland china. Berkshire or B"d pig. you may as well quit attempting to raie hogs, but concentrate your energy and devotion on some animal you ran love. And if you cannot love any domestic animal, you may as well quit farming and go to some place whi te they have nothing but a climate, and one not bothered with dome-tic ani mals. A Food Mixture iou Fowls. A poultry authority s ys that a grain mixture which has been well recom mended consists cf 20 ioumls corn, 15 poiiuos oats, li j-ounds barley and 10 pounds wheal, fed twice a day. Xo taxed quantity can be given at a meaL but the hens shout 1 be offeiei what they will eat up. and no more. How much to feed can only be known by olc servaf ion In feeding. The main joint Is not to feod too much. It Is better to fee I sparug y than to make the bens too fat. Those intending to test the differeut methods of spraying in order to prevent the ravages of the grape rot and other lunges disease; should not overlook the fact that the giouud around the vines must be treated first. The ground is tne not-bed or diseae. rrom which the vines are attacked. Tlie ue of lime and other remedies on the crouu ! should begin now and the work cotinued throughout the entire season.

According to the London Lan cet, M. I-eou ay allinue l that this rest which several religions rendered oblig atory Is a law of nature, aud conse quently a law .f hygiene, the ex"el lence of which has loug been demon strated, although tt Is not to be found iu all national cedes. The resting t.u the seventh day is of biblical origin, and the custom of count. ng the da) s by seven was formerly the rule among the most diveise races in India, a among the C'elLs in China, as well as in Arabia. Now that hygiene has become a positive science, it confirms the moral and uiateri il ncessity for a temporary re.'t on tie seventh day. .Several reports were presented to the congress, aud physician, professor, philo-ophois and hygienists are In acc rd on this point. All, without exception, support tor workers of all classes and of all ages a weekly day of rest, which should even be made obliga tory. It may here be noted that in 1SS1 this subject was opeued to competition by the Swis government for a prize, which was awi'ided to Dr. Xiemeycr, of Ieipzig. The subject was brilli antly treated by Lr. Nieineyer. who observed that tlie dominical reft is the first commandment of hygiene, which should be followed to obtain a peaceful and continued amelioration of society. and in this respect it is as much a ra tional lnstitioti as a religious one. Lead poisoning having occurred at Dessau in V2 cases, a commission was issued to discover the caus?, which was immediately tiaceahle to the water sup ply. It then lx'cauie necessary to as certain whether the water was origi nally poisonous; but it was soon found to have acquired this quality In the course of distribution through the h ;id service pipes used in the town. .Ex periments showed the water to be ex tremely soft; and when its hardness was increased by the addition of tinely powdered limestone, it ceased to cor rode lead. I urther Inquiry demon. strated that it was not the hardnei-s that rendered the water inocuous, but the deprivation, by aeitatiou with the limestone, of the carbonic acid origi nally contained In the water, aud winch attacked the lead. To perma nently cure the evil, au apparatus has beeu set up at the water worts to mix automatically a definite quantity of powdered limestone w ith a certain pro I ortion of the water passed through the woiks. The mixture Is then, after agitation, returued to the bulk ot the sMppl;and the result is a complete cure of tlie nn.ichicl cot a single ea c of lead poisoning having occurred since the apparatus was set in regular opera tion.

The married women-. Property act which .secures them in th enjoyment of their own t.ronertv and under which they can S ot ?ne WUJ- Vlrgg they please, has done good deal to e vetoVtbe insurance of female Uw the increase In the number of rnen who earn their own living, and hae cone in for an independent career with out regard to matrimony, has a! helped the movtment. The latter class specially favor en dowment policies, puyaWe other ;it death or a certain age. Horn who tiave undertaken the laborious .i slon of nursing, for instance, lo!i up ward to a time when they they wid -aet aside, and when a few liun'.red pounds may be very acceptable, and so they arrange for the payment to falldue at fifty-live y ats or age. Actuaries of the old school do not relish these i ea fancied notions, as they regard tlitm, being a clear departure from the prin ciple of insuraiK-e against death; but insurance against life in the years of d.cay is an actual expeiience quite as ureal a necessilv. Eudowment policies are a need of the age. and life ofllces do well to supply iu Certainly women who ure the r own bread-wlnmrs ap pieciate the system. If the extension of insurance among ladies indicates progress toward equality, i he difference in tlie preini utnns charted proves the continued ex i. iw fa r.r iiiMitKtlit v.

Thev hold that a woman's lite is less ceitaininthe murrltd stale than the man's, and this conclusion is renectea in their table of pieuiiums. The prac tice of the llices varies, hut s me charge women .". additional per au nuiii for every i-HW assured until they attain 0 yeais of a;e. No rebate i9 made lor the uiiuiarntu, me a3uiij tion bein that almost every healthy girl i, ill .nti i- t'.i' u-Hitded state. If ihf number of won eii who go in for an in dependent vocation, however, increases materially it will only be fair to modify the rule, as the risks represented by the extra premium are not theu run by the insured. The fact that the additional levy of 10 per cent, or so is not n.a le after 5'J, is an admission that the sexes are under the same conditions when on equal ttrins. Indeed, the female life is really held to Le the 11, apart irotn the period of si-cial risk. Taking the annuity table of the Scot tish Widows' fund as an illustration, we find that the rate of annuity per cent, is slightly greater on the female life up to 31, and then falls below tin male life, the assumption beinj thai having passed that ieriod the woman's life is the longer, and more annual pay ments will have to be made by the ollice.

The f-pec'al risks being paseeJ, the woman's life is, however, admitted to le the best. One circumstance which weighs with the ofllces in the distinctiors they draw ia this, that the mod cal advisers c;in speak with more certainty, liom various causes to what is or is Lot a good Hie lu the case of mtn than of women, aud this, no doubt, is taken into consideration in that leveiirg system of averages which actuaries delight to work out.
