Jucnango, A DelleM Operation. An artisan about 80 years of age aome five years ago full and severely Injured bis right arm. It was op erated on at the tune, and the result uroved that either the surgeon by mis- adventure bad divided the nerve or it had been torn in the full. At all events the Injured arm never re covered Its former npwarunce, but wasted and became quite unclean. II was a serious misfortune to a work- ingnian, and it was decided to open up the arm ana explore, who mo re- gult, as first surmised, that the nerve was found to be partially divwort. Two fran emu were made, and a live rabbit having been obtained it was rendered uniHinncioua, aktuued, and tbe two sciatic nerves were ex tracted and stitched to the two ends of the divided nerve in the man's arm. The wound was then stitched upend the patient placed in bed. Tbe result is most favorable, - The man bas perfect power in tbe right arm, which is rapidly regaining tno ongi nal bulk, and ho is now able to follow his employment London Cor. Ediui buffh Dlspatcn. od of making silk threads from wood pulp Is being brought to a practical stage. The method made i am puhlio appearauce at the fans xpo sitioo of 1HK9, where it at coca at tracted attention. At that time, how ever, it was imperfect if not absolute ly (utngerou. Bince mat oar we improvemcntd in thai original meth od have been noticeable, awl tbe re- rUtd proneaa is now employed at Besamcon,. where the silk is being manufactured. . The material, em ployed is nothing more. than the "wood nulp" which is already used ao largely in paper inakiug. . After being crustied tno pulp is orteu m an oven and afterward immersed in a nltroul)liurio acid mixture,. . . Tbe pulp is then thoroughly washed la water and is finally dried in alco hol The resultant produt is put into a mixture of practically pure alcohol and ethur until a "collodi- is formed not noticeably differ ent from tliat uwd for photogruphie filma Afur the collodion Is pre pared It is forced through a filter and is then forced into a long tube, in the side of which are hundreds of spigots witb a very minute outlet The collodion ismn from the spigots in thin, sticky threads, which are afterward waahed by ammonia and water. Tills washing takes the solu ble other and alcohol from the oolo dlon, which Immediately grows hard er and tough and in about every re spect as brilliant and asstrongas silk thread. The resultant threads are spun together in atrands of six and are then mwy ior weaving. When the Chardonnet process was first exhibited, one very strong ob jection to the- textile woven from the new -sux lay in uie grwt flftmrnsbillty of such a texture. The original combustibility waa at the rate of two centimeters a second, and it waa cktmed with much jus tice that goods of such a nature could not be and ought not to be used for purposes of drees. Tbe ad dition of ammonia to the water bath in which the collodion thread was washed served to do away with the objection. Still again it was found tbat the pressure on uie coiioaion tube waa not equal throughout, some of the threads snapping off before thnv were nut into the final bath. It is announced that this fault has bean corrected under the revised process, and if this announcement Is authentic the new method of produc ing gilk without silkworms will at tract the notice or American. menu facturers.

An other singular coincidence happoned In America.' A pleasure party were overturned and drowned on the Hua ann river. Just before the accident they had been singing "Lost In the Wreck."

Pari, it appears, Uys tribute in this way on almost ber entire food supply and upon numer ous other things, and the money col lected is divided between tbe govern ment and the municipal authorities; By this means it comes to pass tbat many articles are doubly taxed, for hi addition to what is assessed upon them at the gates of the city there is a tariff imposed at the frontier. After this we did not wonder that a visitor had to pay ao enormously for apartments and board, though wo did wonder at tbe long suffering pa tience of the residents. Meat of very Und is taxed. On a pound of butter the city tariff is s cents, ana on a pound of grapes it is about the same. If you should go outside and shoot a bare, you would bave to pay for bringing into Paris even a pri vate little acquisition of that sort Upon spirits and win the duty is considerable, and the authorities are exceedingly vigilant in collecting it This is a point at which vigilance is quite necessary, judging from what one hears as to the methods of smug gling in vogue.

These ruses were decidedly clever, and it is said that had it not been for accomplices who turned inform ers they tnlgnt nave oontinueu m successful operation indefinitely. Perhaps, however, the couutryman s ruse waa the most effectual for the time, though it must have put him to inconvenience afterward. He had only a bottle of common wine witb him, but the gatekeeper knew bis duty and did it The tax was 4 cents levied upon an original valua tion of something Uko cents. Common wine, it must be remem bered, is very cheap in France, and this particular bottle would hare been cheap enougn, one mignt nave thought even after the duty had been paid. But theFrench peasant is noted for his thrift The burning question waa bow to get his quart of wine into Paris without any further in vestment upon it and the final solu tion was reached by his carrying it throturh the sates concealed, as in the case of the dummy footman, within his own anatomy.
