CANADIAN GETS NEW FACE.
Remarkable Operations Perfeented
On Ross Allen at Baltimore.
A despateh from Baltimore, Md.,
ee says: With a part of his forearm
sub.stieuting for new lips, Ross
*Allen, 'a yeeng Canadja,n se a. hose
pita) here, eeeras to be ie a favor-
able way to heve preetica,lle the
whole of Iris face newly ,thaped.
Allen entered the hospital about
two months ago with his face dis-
figured from an eccident in a saw-
mill five years previously. Ilia nose
end hips were inissing. A tection
of flesh shaped ,..to the form of his
lower lip was cut on his forearm. in
Deeembee, and a, grafting juncture
made with the lip base. The arm
was bound about the: head until the
grafting was complete. This .con.-
sumed about two weeks, when suffe
cieneadherence leaving taken place,
the hp seetion was severed from the
arrn and the lip shaped. The earne
procednee was followed in the up-
per lip treatment, a section of the
arm flesh beieg grafted across the
npper arm and the aim strapped to
Allen's head and shoulders until
this section too, had taken hold.
When Allen accumulates euifi-
(tient strength for a,nother . opera, -
tion the eargeons will try to build
him a newenese. It is planned to
cut away a, piece of healthy ssarti-
lege from eue of the ribs at the
junction with the breast beim,
eltape it to tbe form ef rt, nose with
the nostril openings, and insert it
in place of the missing organ. The
skin, which will have been previ-
ously slit for the insettion of the
substitute hose, is thee to be
drawn over the hone and healing
awaited,
It is expected that, the certilege
will adhere to the facial bones, and
in time beesene an integral inset of

Wilson is now ready. There is no

Imperilled the llyes,of tho whole white
population., No worse example could be
set before the natives than the taking up
of arms against the forces whose duty
is the preservation of order. Gen. Bo-
tha and his colleagues were bound to
crush a party that resorted • to rifles,
barricades and dynamite, with the stop-
page of railroad traneeort and every
Industry, for the enforcement of its will.
And they did the work with a swiftness
and thoroughness that commanded ap-
probation. But the strong hand seeras
to be too strongly exercised in throw-
ing the offenders into Odle without their
conviction by any legal tribumal. Thie
creates a fresh South African difficulty
for the British government,which can-
not approve, and yet must not interfere
with the action of a self-governing do-

The Hog as a Mortgag•e Payer.
Mr, Samuel W. Allerton, in a book en-
titled "The Hog: 'rhe Mortgage Payer,"
lays great stress upon the importance
of increasing the output of pork, espe-
cially in view of the existing shortage
of. meat products. He points out that
the profit in -hogs is great, and "their'
presence on the farm makes for the
benefit of all crops by supplying a na-
tutal fertilizer." He says the only seri-
ous obstacle to sticcess Is hog chol-
era, and. this may be avoided by pro-
per feeding. He recommends groutid
barley as a food. and as this grain can
