OPERATION FOR HARELIP.
IVrfortned t pon a Child of four Months.
A Sftrglcal P acres.
Tlwra Is at pn?sent under treatment at
the Roosevelt hospital a child not quite 4
months of ap xvlto haa been the subject
of a very diilicult and" delicate mtt-gieal
operation, in spite of which ho still Uvea
and. seems to enjoy life. The child's
parents had heeii married ten years be
fore his birth, and his mother had Riven
birth to three other children who were in
no way deformed. A strange circum
stance to which the harelip may have
leen duo is that three months before the
child's birth its mother discovered for
the first time that its father had been
born with both harelip and cleft palate,
and that he had been successfully oper
ated on while an infant for the former,
the scars of which operation were totally
hid by his heavy mustache, while for the
latter he wore a false palate with several
teeth in his mouth. Bo perfect had been
the work of the surgeon and dentist in
his case, that it would never have been
known by any one had he not, on the
occasion of his wife's discovery, Jbad a
severe toothache, which had made the
removal of the falso teeth necessary.
Very unwisely he then told her that be
. and two of his brothers had been born
with harelip and cleft palate. Being a
nervous woman and in a peculiar state
of mind, she took a notion tliat her child
would have the same deformity as its
fattier. Ihe idea haunted her, and m
some way it seems to have affected the
Infant's development. When it was born
p! saw at the first Rlance that the liby
had harelip. The child was unable tc
take food in the way it should hare. It
could not nurse. Food had to be Kiven
by the spoonful, and the result was thai
the infant suffered for projier and suffi
cient nourishment. At last it was evi
dent that heroic measures must be re
sorted to or the child would die.
At first the mother wouM not consent
to an operation, but she did at last, and
on May 24 Dr. llctsurney performed it
in the operaUnj? room of the hospital.
Ether was given the little patient in such
quantities as was safe for one so young,
and, that no evil consequences might re
sult from its struggles if pain should be
felt in spite of the anasthetic, the patient
was put into a light fittmg rubber bag.
whieh was closed around its neck. The
sm-Kwn then, selecting a sharp curved
tistoury, or tmfe with a pointed Made,
commenced the operation. The mal
formation to be corrected as the first
Mop was to close the bmad fissure which.
liiiothe letter A. divided the upper hp.
The next step was to dissect the flesh.
muscle and all, from the bone beneath
on both suit's of the mouth for some
little distance. A slight incision was
then made fr:m the left comer
cf the mouth in the direction
of the ear, as the mouth was
a little short on that side. An incision
was now made from the left nos
tril directly into the flap on the right
side, in the dire-tion of the right corner
of the mouth. This was planned so that
it left a triangular vacancy, the apex of
which triangle was mid war between the
center of tho nose and mouth. The flap
" on the other side was now cut to fit this
vacancy and drawn into it with silk
sutures and carefully stitched. Stitches
were then passed into the mucuous lining
of the flaps m such a way as to erert it
and bring sufficient to the outside along
the lower border to form the vermilion
border of the lip. The fisaure in the
cheek was then sutured together care
fully and the external operation was
finished.
It now remained for the surgeon tc
bring the bonv roof of the mouth to
gether in the middle, by which means it
was hoped that the fissured palate could
be closed and the patient saved the m
convenience of being obliged to use an
artificial set of teeth and mouth roof like
his father's. With a feharp knife the
surgeon incised the soft mucuous mem
brane on both side of the fissure, and.
taking care not to wound . the blood ves
eels, raised the periosteal membrane from
the bony wall of the cavity beneath, and
uniting this flap from each side in the
middle of the fissure, thus formed a
periosteal tent over the mouth, for tht
protection of wliich against the tongueV
action he put a' thin silver plate, "madt
for the occasion, in the mouth undei
said tent. At the interior end of the
fissure he united the two part3 of tht
soft palate, thus forming a good palate
and completely- closing the cleft.
Hie periosteal membrane above re
ferred to has the property of forming
new bone, which 13 deposited on its nv
ner side. It forms the outer or hard
layer of all bones, and its finely ramify
ing blood vessels supply the outer layei
of all bones with nounuiment. It is ex
pec ted that a bony roof will grow ovei
the tent of periosteum that was made tc
close the fissure. When this bony rool
is formed the silver guard will be taken
from the child's mouth, where it must
remain until then.
- The little patient is rapidly recovering
from the effects of the operation. Th
wounds are all healed with the exoeptior.
or that in the hard palate, and a farm
bony arch is forming over the roof of the
mouth. The child's own mother scarcely
recognized it after the first bandages
were removed. Ia a fc-w days the little
one will lftive the hospital cured. New

One sees many curious things in na
ture, and nowhere is there anvthice
stranger to be found than among certain
species of the vegetable kingdom. There
is to be seen in the vard of C. L. Siilsori
a flowering curiosity. It is what
known as a black lily. When it first
blooms it is Mack, but gradually fades to
a dark purple. It is bul!xus, the same
as other members of the genus lileicea.
The flower is something of the shape of a
cslla, but. much larcrer, being some six
teen inches across the top by ten inches
in breadth. It is serrated around the
edges. The pistil cmanctes from a pouch
about ten inches in depth, and is itsolf
some fifteen inches long by nearly an
average wiaih of an inch, and is perfectly
black. But the most curious thing about
the flower is its odor, and it has lots of
that. It is extremely oCensive, smelling
like the decaying carcass of a horse or
cow. Flies swarm about tho flower.
Attracted by the odor, they find their
way into the pouch from which the pistil
comes, and once down in there they
never get out. It is really worth a visit
to see it. CMco (Cai.) Eecord.

EARLY INSTRUCTION.
Why Children Should n Made to no
Work Snitb!e for Their AKre.
If possible, parents, teach your chil
dren to do work suitable and proper
for their age. If a mistake Is made.
do not reprove them sternly. Kindly
point it out, if unnoticed, and allow
them to undo or correct it, if it is in
their power. Mothers are often so
hurried and worried with work and the
care of children, that they feel or think
they have no time to teach them to
Cut out simple articles, or to do sew
ing, knitting, etc. Theoldst daughter
is usually taught those ueful arts as
early as her sixth year. There seems to
be time to instruct her, as the wants of
those younger do not yet need atten
tion in that way. The oldest son, too,
is early called to help about work.
Younger sisters wait on the little
ones, and often spend the rest of
their time in play. Recreation is neces
sary, but if kept up too long, fatigue
is the result. Boys and girls, whose
home is on a farm have peculiar ad
vantages for learning to do work suited
to their capacity. The well-kept dis
trict schools of tho country are pleas
ant places in which to gain knowledge.
The long walks to and from school.
with fields of grain and orchards bor
dering on tho road, have charms for
healthy, happy children. After sup
per, when the evening work is done,
tho lamps are lighted, and lessons
studied. Reading and play have a
share of their attention also. With
all these, time can be taken for need
ful instruction in needlework, etc, for
girls. Be determined in this matter,
dear mothers. See to it that every
piece of work assigned to each is fin
ished by herself, and within a reason
able time. Never allow a child to say
"O, it's no matter when I finish this,'
Or, "Any time will do." These are
dangerous expressions for young or old
to use, as they holp to form the habit
of putting oft until to-morrow the work
of to-day.
Strive to inspire your children with
self-respect by your sensible example
and advice, and they will respect and
honor you in return. Rural New

THE TIUMEN PRISON,
Description of a Forwarding Station tat
MUiei-Inn Hxlles.
Tho Tlumen prison was originally
built to hold B00 prisoners, but was
subsequently enlarged by moans of de
tached barracks so that it could accom
modate 800. On tho day of our visit,
as we we ro Informed by a small black
board hanging beside the office door, It
contained 1,741. As we npproocbed tho
entrance, we wore stopped by an armed
sentry, who, upon bolug informed that
we desired admittance, shouted through
a square port-hole in tho heavy gato,
"Star-she-o-e!'' (tho usual call for the
oltlce.r of the day). A corporal or ser
geant with a saber at his sldo and a
Colt's revolver in a holster oil his hip,
answered the summons, carrle 1 our
note to tho warden, and in a moment
we were admitted to the prison yard.
Fifty or sixty exiles mid couvlnts wore
walking aimlessly back and forth In
front of tho main prison building, or
sitting Idly in groups here and thoroon
tho ground. They were all dressed
from head to foot In a costume of gray,
consisting of a vlsorloss Scotch cap, a
shirt and trousers of coarse homespun
linen, and a long gray overcoat with
one or two diamond -shaped patches of
black or yellow cloth sewn upon the
back between the shoulders. Nearly
all of tliniii wore leg-fetters, and the air
was tilled with a pfv-uliar clinking of
chains which nu'Tti'd the continuous
Hngling of innumerable, bunches of
kevs.
The first "ka!irra" or cell that wo
entered was situated in a 0110-atory log
barrack standing against tho wall on
tho left of the gate, and built evidently
to receive the overflow from the
crowded main building. Tho room
was about 33 feet in lenirth, by 25 In
width and 12 feet hlifh; Its walls of
hewn logs were covered with dirty
whitewash; its rough plank floor was
black with dried mud and hard-trodden
tilth; and it was lighted with three
grated windows looking out into the
prison yard. lKwn the center of the
room, and ' occupying about half its
width, ran the slecping-lnmch a
wooden platform 12 feet wide and 80
feet long, supported, at a height of 2
feet from the floor, by stout pasta.
F-acn longitudinal half of this low
platform sloped a littl- roof-wise, from
the center, so that when the prisoners
slept upon it In two closely packed
transverse rows, their hoods In the
mlJdle were a fw inc.he.4 higher than
their foot at the edges. These sleep
ing platforms are known as "nArca,"
and a Siberian prison contains no other
furnltiiro except a largo wooJt:n tub
for excrement. Tho prioners have
neither pillows, blankets, nor bed
clothing, and must lie on these hard
plank nares, with no covering but their
overwats. As we entered tho cell, tho
convicts, with a sudden jingling of
chains, sprang to their feet, and stood
silently In a dense throng "around the
nares. 'Zdrastvtiltul reb'.nta!" "How
do you do, boys!" said the warden.
"Zdravie zhelaiora vasha vwisnkl blag

voices in a hoarso chorm. "The
prison," said the warden, "Is terribly
