HEALTH.
A Triu1np11 of Surgery.
Every Dart of the human frame, bone,
'emelt, blood, lush, eltlew, ligament, has a
, clearly defined reason for existence, except
woe --a little pouch, cylindrical hl shape,
about six inches long and of the thickness of
a lend peneil, 'rids pouch is known es the
vermiform appendix, It is eituated at the
lower end of the large intestine. Its posi-
tion is such that a small seed such as a grape
seed, oould, by a rare chance, work its way
into the pouch. W hem such an accident hap-
pens, tho appendix causes acute pain, and
death has generally ensued in such cases,
inedieal history informs us. Some time ago
the Hon, Edward Rose, lately a captain in
Tenth English Hussars, ofwhioh the Prince
of Wales is the nominal colonel, swallowed
IL grape seed, which worked its way into
his vermiform appendix, Excruciating
pain followed. He consulted tho must
successful specialists in snrgely in Eng.
land and France, and was told that the
,special operation sometimes undertaken to
:amputate the punch was one of the most
difficult and dangerous ones kuown to
surgery. No one of those surgeons whom
he consulted displayed any eagerness to
undertake the operation, and Captain Ross
wan treated medicinally. In his case the
difficulty of an operation was all the greater
oet account of les corpulence and large ab-
dominal girth. Eventnally the captain de.
aided to consult an American specialist,
Dr. Bull, consulting surgeon at Saint Luke's
Hospital, New York City, who had lately
performed a artc:essfol operation an a suffer-
er from tho same trouble. The operation
was perforated by Dr. lion after two days
of careful preparation: and resulted in the
complete recovery of Captain tense. It last-
ed two hours and a half during which time
Captain Rose was kept melee the iufiuence
•of ether. Tlie first in:ision revealed the as-
tonishing fact that the subject's abdominal
wall had a thickness of four inches ! To add
to this difficulty tho vermiform appendix
w as found to be abnormally bent up behind
the large intestine. The appendix was am-
putated. For the two days following Cap-
tain Rose's condition was critical, After
that, in spite of a complication of the grip,
he began to mend rapidly, and he was die-
chaiged from the hospital sound and well.
Poultioes and Plasters,
In a note on this subject in the Cardiff
Mail it is stated that very few women, ex-
cept those accustomed to nurse the sick, un-
derstand the best way in which to Hake the

to be ordered by the physician. Now that

Sleeplessness and Its Oure,
We live in an age of ne'vousneas. W eak-
mess of nerves is the proof of +4n over -relined
civilization, which overexcites the active
life and weakens the negative. Whole 1114-
tionshave already been ruined on this
account ; Rousseau prophesied the ruin of
all civilized 11urope. This destruction will
certainly he for sena time deferred, but it
is a melancholy fact that the number of
those who suffer from nervousness and sleep-
lessness is greatly increasing. The animal
life cannot continue nu unbroken activity,
.eithe• in work or enjoyment; from Lino to
:time the nerves are exhausted ; life reture0
periodically into the condition of uneon-
elousness ; man in the menial. order of
things, needs sleeps ae well as food. Sleep.
lessness emaciates num, weakens him; and
a continual loss of sleep leads, neder great
uff'ering, to death.

experience that ilas brought under notice
nearly every notable writer of the day.

The Rousekoepers' Treasures'
A woman who has pretty china who de.
serves to have it, because she knows how
to take case of 111, has a way of guarding
against eor'atchou and breaking in ler ware
by making dozens of mats of pinked cotton
flannel which she uses everywhere fn her
china closet. .Every plate, when it is piled
away in the closet, has one of those soft
mats laid upon it ; every Bremer and small
flat dish has a mat laid over it before an-
other is laid upon it; mats are laid over the
Lops of tureens before the covers are set on
them and the cape and tumblers, instead of
being piled neon each other, aro set singly
on the shelves.
Quite as emeriti is the Ivey she Outs her
silver away. There is a lot of it and it's all
solid, so 1n 111e logical way of many W011100
she puts it safely awayfu let big Nuremberg
ohest and uses plated ware instead. But
the way in which she packs it is an art of
itself. There tare bags great and small of
cotton flannel, with draw strings, into
which the large' pieces are slipped; but
those aro not uncommon among careful
hoese•keepers. It is her pockets for the
071)011 pieces that command respectful ad-
miratton, The knifes, forks and spoons arc
not packed away in families, but each one
has its nen apartment. She doubles a large
piece of cotton flannel, sews it up except on
one side, aucl stitches it into a dozen butene
uompa•tnlents, one for each piece. When
these are carefully slipped into their places
she rolls tho pocket together and tie:: it
with tape strings, like an old-fashioned
needle ease.
The least touch of fastidiousness in tho
care of 1100 china closet is the covering
which she permits herself for the shelves in-
stead of the pa3er commonly used. Those
(hem's are made of heavy white linenex-
actly fitted to en011 shelf, and with a frill of
henry linen lace hanging over the edge.
