HP TIMELY SUGGESTIONS. I TU A T liMI I I 1 ...Ml HELP THE I f I Esnffss A Jolly Out-Door Party. This wag a decided success, for the children were bo enthusiastic. The af fair took place In the country, but I lu not think a city back yard or a park would fall short of the require ments. Of courae, all depends upon the weather, for this party requires anow and a frozen pond, If possible. The hours were from five to eight, end It was quite dark when the gay youngsters assembled. The mothers had been Instructed to dress the little guests, who were from ten to fourteen, "ery warmly with sweaters and mit tens. Japanese lanterns were strung all over the lawn and twinkled bright ly In the darkness; then there were buge bonfires built along the edge of the pond with caretakers to watch for parks. There were skating races, running races, tobogganing and a merry ame of Hare and Hounds, with red onfettL for "scent." Tho hint stunt was storming a snow fort, (he children being divided Into two sides, white nen and "Indlnns." After this excite ment they were called In to a supper consisting of piping hot oyster soup, hot buttered crackers, olives, turkey andwiches, then Ice cream In shape of snow balls with a little flag In the lop of each ball; the cakes were balls, too, rolled In cocoanut form and then In sweet chocolate grated. A big Ielgh took all the children home, each with a tin horn which was tied with carlet ribbon. The horns were pre sented when good-bys were said. For 8t. Agnes' Eve. Friday, the 20th, brings Saint Agnes ve, a special day In the old-time cal endar. At this season, young girls were wont to peer Into the future to discern the characteristics of their fu ture, husbands. They resorted to all orts of tricks and used rosemary and thyme, as custom, or tradition rather, proclaimed them the flowers for that day. It was the time for love proph ecies, so It would be an auspicious time for an engagement announce ment, or for a bridal luncheon.

The first candle to go out foretells, "no wedding for a year," tho one with a flickering flame denotes an Inter rupted courtship; the one that burns clean and clear to the socket means a wedding within a year. A January Luncheon. This pretty luncheon was hastily ar ranged In honor of a friend who was going away, and by accident tho hostess learned the day set for her entertainment was also her friend's birthday. As tho guests were all very Intimate friends and only too glad of the opportunity to show some atten tion to the departing guest, they all contributed a small sum with which tho hostess purchased a charming gar net bar-pin. It was tied to a bouquet of red roses. On the card was writ ten this couplet, allotted to tho month of January: By tier, who In this month In horn, No Knis save R.irnuta should bo worn; They will Insure Iter constancy, True friendship and fldi'llty. The flower for the month Is the pearly snow drop, and there was a huge bunch of them In a red Bohemian glass bowl for the table centerpiece. Red candles were used with shades of the same color, and a lovely fire blazed In the grate. Altogether It was a most hospitable affair. V'.th the dessert of frozen pudding came a birthday cake with the name of the guest picked out In small red candles. The cake was on a candle board surrounded by a cir cle of blazing red candles. Each guest mado a wish and blew one out before the cake was cut. After this the maid brought In the bouquet on a sil ver tray and the pin tied In a wee white box with garnet ribbon was dis covered.

Most Interesting of Advanced Meth ods Applle. to Stimulating of Ot eoui Growth Artifically by Injecting Formalin, a New York. Limbs may be length ened by stimulating the growth of the bones and cut arteries repaired wiia metal rings something in the manner adopted in Joining water mains, ac cording to methods of the new surgery described in the current medical journals. One of the moBt Interesting oi me advanced methods applies to the Rtimnlatlon of osseous growth arti ficially by injecting formalin. This Is a solution of the gas rormaiuenyue used as a disinfectant and preserva tive, and the llould has been em ployed not only In Its pure state, but In the two per cent, solution. The experiments which nave necn conducted so far by Dr. R. O.. Meisen- bach are doscrlbed by him in me Journal of Orthotic Surgery, and there in an editorial unon them in the Medical Record of this city. Doctor Meltenback conducted his experi ments on the legs of rabbits, selecting usually tho right tibias and, using the left as a control or means ot com paring results. He also availed himself o( mecnan- Ical means, but the most satisfactory results were obtained with the formalin injections. It Is said the in troduction of the solution, which also has high antiseptic qualities, stimu lates the secretion of lime from lae fibrous tissue which covers the cartilage and thus builds up the bone. If this method should bo applied to human beings, It might be of great value, and tho medical authorities think Bitch an application of the dis covery is far from remoto. It Is held that the formalin stimu lation may tervo as a stepping stone to a new method of treatment In bone cases which have hitherto baffled the skill of surgeons, rones which have stubborn compound fractures might thus be made to reunite, and limbs, which are abnormally shortened through the arrest of the growth of bone, as Is so frequently the case In children after attacks of Infantile paralysis, could be lengthened. The discovery might extend even to the treatment of tuberculosis of tho bones and to various diseases which affect the framework of the body. There are numerous cases where per rons who have broken arms or legs are crippled permanently even with all the attention which skilled surgery can give, and were It possible to cre ate new bones at the places where it Is required many a limp would bo avoided. ' , The modern surgeon, there,ore, by taking thought may yet bo able to add to the stature of man. he results have been very encouraging, accord ing to the scientific reports, for some of the best of them were obtained by only one Injection of the formalin. Joining of the endt of a part id artery by the use of rings of the metal magnesium is described In the last numbor of the Journal of the American Medical association by Drs. V. Lesplnasse, G. Carl Fisher and J. EiBentaedt, In an article descrip tive of their work In the department "Cold Feet" Practical Joker Foregoes Chance to Laugh When Boss Ha. Attack of Ill-Temper. Chicago. Because a practical Joker nad "cold feet," occupants of a cer tain South Side Elevated railroad car missed a good laugh recently, and a department chief In a large business concern went to his home, his com posure unruffled and hluiBelf none the wiser. This man had during the day pur chased a shining now alarm clock, of which he was proud. He exhibited It to a few of his subordinates about the office, and remarked how he liked to rlBe with the early bird and watch It capture that traditional worm. The alarm clock would enable htm to got up early dally, he Insisted. While the chief was out at luncheon the practical Joker conceived tho Idea of setting the alarm clock, which the owner had neatly wrapped In the box in which It came, for 5; 15 p. m., the MAP OF THE UNITED SURGERY of experimental surgery In the North western university medical school. They acknowledge the assistance of Drs. Zelt, Wolfer, Violet, Deason and Solomon. The vessel bad been clamped at either side ot the cut, and the ends sewed Into holes In the magnesium rings. The tissue 1. secured firmly, and the two flat rings are fitted against each other and bound togeth er by passing silk thread through the holes In the rims. This I. only a general description, for there are vari ations of the success specified. The ring, thus fitting flush against each other and tightly bound togeth er, form a union. The clamps are re moved and the blood stream flow, as ever through the accustomed channel. The metal of which the rings are made is only slightly acted upon at flrBt by the fluids of the body and the salt. They are thoroughly steril ized before their Introduction, either In distilled water or a spring or lake water which Is only slightly saline. For 30 day. the rings hold their original shape and at the end of that period they begin to break down and in from 80 to 100 days they have been completely absorbed into the system. Conclusions the surgeons reach Is that the jse of these, rings makes the operation safe, certain and easy, BIG COST AS DIVORCE CURE Sir Edward Carson, Noted English Lawyer, Would Make Erring Peo ple Pay Dearly. London. Sir Edward Carson, K. C., who practiced In Ireland for many years before coming to England, and who was an expert witness before the divorco commission here tho other day, expressed tho belief that every obstacle should be thrown In the way of those who sought divorce to make it difficult to obtain decrees. Ho said It would be a fatal mistake to make the obtaining of divorces easier. IIo believed a Judgo should exhaust every effort to Induce those seeking divorces to settle their diffi culties out of court and to become united. When Sir Edward was told that working people had not the facilities of the wealthier to obtain divorce, he invariably replied that he would equal ize matters If ho could by rutting down the facilities of the wealthy. In Sir Edward's opinion, the damage, given In divorce cases are as a rule en tirely adequate He thought it would be a salutary thing if the dam ages were much heavier. In the case of a man with 20,000 to 30,000 a year who coveted another man's wife and took her away from him the dam ages should not be 5,000 but 100, 000. This certainly Increases the worth of a wife. When asked If he would not be In favor of leaving the matter of dam ages to the Judge, Sir Edward replied that he thought Judges were Inclined to be even more parsimonious In such cases than juries. In reply to a question from a mem ber of the commission the lawyer said ho would put the sexes on terms of equality and advanced the startling theory that a woman should not be ablo to divorce her husband for infi Saves His Job exact time of day the prospective vic tim stepped Into the elevated train to go to his home. Accordingly the tiny hand upon the dial was set and the springs wound as tightly as they would go. The Joker and fellow workers whom he had apprised of the Joke snickered among themselves. Just then the department head, wlldeyed and furious, burst Into the room with his hands full of papers. "This bill of sale Is all balled up." he cried. "Trouble," one worker whispered to another. "Trouble," said the office boy to the stenographer. At this juncture he who had pre pared the clock thought of what might happen when the tired man, riding home on the "L," was put to the dis comfiture of the hidden buzzing and ringing in the box within IiIb over coat pocket. The moment his "boss" left the room the alleged joker, fear ing for the permanency of his own STATES and brings It well within the skill of the average surgeon.

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS "Some nine years ago I noticed small pimples breaking out on the back of my bands. They became very Irritating, and gradually became worse, so that I could not sleep at night. I consulted a physician who treated me a long time, but it got worse, and I could not put my hands In water. I was treated at tho hos pital, nnd It was Just the same. I was told that It was a very bad se of eczema. Well, I just kept on using everything that I could for nearly eight years ui.tll I was advised to try Cutlcura Ointment. I did so, and I found after a few applications and by bandaging my bands well up that the burning sensations were disappearing, I could sleep well, and did not have any Itching during the night. I began after a whllo to use Cutlcura Soap for i wash for them, and I think by using tho Soap and Ointment I was much bonefited. I stuck to the Cutlcura treatment, and thought If I could use other remedies for over seven years with no result, and after only having a few applications and finding ease from Cutlcura Ointment, I thought It deserved a fair trial with a severe and stubborn case. I used the Oint ment and Soap for nearly six months, and I am glad to say that I have hands as clear ns anyone.
