TURN TO LITTLE PIG PHYSICIANS WILL IMPRESS HIM FOR GRAFTING PURPOSES. Idea Put Forward That It I* Not Nectary for Human Beings to Sacrifice Cuticle In Intereats of Their Fellow Men. The latest martyr to science is the little pig. When occasion demands — and It will do so with increasing frequency — he is not even to have the privilege of keeping his hide until he grows up to go to the packing house From time to time, if he be healthy, he is likely to be seized, etherized, scrubbed, disinfected, sterilized, shaved and peeled In order to save a human life or to prevent necessity of the sacrifice of cuticle by one person to save the life of another. For the little pig. according to Dr. C. S. Venable of San Antonio. Tex., one of the foremost of the younger surgeons of the United States, has just been discovered to be the best existing source of supply of skin for grafting purposes. “I believe." Dr. Venable told the Medical Association of the Southwest, “that It will not be necessary tn the future for men and women to give up their skin for the sake of others The skin of swine. If taken when the animal is from two to six months old, can be grafted upon a human being more successfully than the skin of another human being. "In course of my experiments I have found that the grafting of pig skin Is successful in from 75 to 100 per cent, of the attempts. The skin of frogs, guinea pigs. dogs, cats and human beings averages only from 32 to 50 per cent, of ‘takes.’ The little pig, therefore, is the most promising source of supply of which we know now “It Is the recognized rule of skin grafting that skin from a lower organism will grow upon the body of a higher organism, while the attempt will not be successful IL the conditions are reversed The pig is. of course, a low organism compared to man. and fortunately, in spite of this difference, the texture of its skin is very much like that of the human being. It is also about the same thickness Further. it has a high degree of cell hardihood and cell prolification, two very important factors. “A further advantage in the use of pig skin is that the supply is plentiful and easily obtained. This means that extensive operations in skin grafting may be carried on with much greater rapidity than is now possible Os course transferring skin from one part of the patient s body to another Is preferable to all other forms of skin grafting, but often this cannot be done, owing to the large area of flesh which has been denuded of its covering.”

Boy’s Honesty Rewarded. Littlp Willie Hinson a sixteen yearold colored boy employed by John D. Sticht, 1147 Bedford avenue. Brooklyn. la a very honest youngster, for he found a gold watch and fob, lost by Miss. Alice Barnes Shaffer, and with out consulting anybody raced as fast as his legs would carry him to the Classon avenjie station house and there deposited his find with the lieutenant on the uesk. saying: "Will you see that this gets to the lady what lost it 7" Were it not for the fact that Mrs. Jessie F. Barnes Schaffer, mother of the young woman who dropped her watch and fob, had advertised her loea j the jewelry might still be in the property department at police beadquarters unclaimed. But Willie saw the "lost ad" and went to 243 Carlton avenue, the home of Mrs. Schaffer, with the news: "Lady. I found your watch at 1-afayette and Classon avenues. and 1 gave it in at the station house." A phone call to police headquarters confirmed what Willie had •aid. Mrs Schaffer gave the boy a substantial reward. She said: "It is not the trouble for which I want to reward you, Willie, it Is your boneaty." Find Health In Walking During the glorious days of early winter women who are looking for health should take up th" simple exercise of walking. If possible a walking tour of two or three days, or even a week, should be arranged for the autumnal season. as the greatest amount of benefit will be derived from such an excursion. Many women make the mistake of thinking that only the very robust should Indulge id such an experiment As a matter of fact no greater error could possibly be made, as there Is nothing which helps more to build up the bod’, soothe fretted nerves and rest a tired brain than just a simple walking tour, if delicate women took a week's walking tour there would be a remarkable decrease In the number of nervous complaints from which so many suffer. Insomnia, with all It* attendant evils; neurasthenia, toss of appetite, depression of spirits, graduallv dlsapp-ar In the course of a walk Ing tour. It ba* a perfectly marvelous power In restoring strength and giving tone to the system. Hears Sermon Over Telephone. A telephone in church baa enabled Mrs. Vanhorn of Bridgeport. Conn., to hear the regular service of her church. Mrs. Vanhorn baa been an invalid for .to years, and unable to leave her bod. having the service by wire comes a* a great boon to her.

PASSING OF OLD SYNAGOGut Ancient Jewish House of Worship Iff West End of London le to Be Demolished. The forthcoming demolition of London- oldest West End synagogue, situated behind His .Majesty's theater in St. Alban's place. Haymarket, marks an interesting stage in London Jewry There are today in round figures a quarter of a million Jews in Great Britain, and of these 150.000 are resident in London. The metropolitan synagogues included in the I nited Synagogue number sixteen, but of these few have a more curious record than that of the Western Synagogue The synagogue owed its origin to Wolf Llepman of St Petersburg and Baron de Symons, who lived in Bed ford row. and co-operated about the year 1768 in the establishment of a mlnyan. which met in the private house of Mr. Llepman for nearly thirty years In 1793 a regular congregation was established—the first synagogue tn the West End of London—and a house was hired for the purpose in Denmark's court. It was known as the Denmark Court of Westminster Synagogue, and stood on the site of the old Exeter hall, now covered by the Strand Palace hotel. It was in 1826 that the congregation acquired the premises In St. Alban s place, and the present synagogue was built. The western synagogue was th* only congregation under the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical authorities which in the year 1841 refused to read the chief rabbi's proclamation against the then newly-founded Burton street synagogue

Uncanny “Telautomatica" A young American, John Hays Hammond, Jr., has recently been doing thing, down on the east coast of Massachusetts that would have been his death-warrant In the day. of the Salem witches. From a hill-top overlooking Gloucester harbor he was directing daily, by means of invisible wave., the maneuvering of a sinisterlooking craft of high speed which may soon develop into a very formidable instrument for coast defence Mark you. no on 5 ; is on board; the boat performs all of Its amazing evolution, guided by a curious combination of vibrations having their aource in an apparatus at Mr. Hammond’s hand, far up the bluff: This sound* uncanny doesn’t it?

He took the machine to pieces, and took It home in Darts, carefully packed. In tending to put them together on the spot. An Australian custom house official gave him a lot of trouble on his arrival, examining every »*«• **»<! kr « u ' ing about the amount to be paid At last they came to an agreement about all but one box, which contained the metal nut. used in bolting the parts of the machinery together. About what was to be charged for these the official had no doubt at all. “Now as to these” he said, “the duty will be twopence a pound " Mr Donaldson protested that this was too high. “Not a bit of it.” was the confident reply; "the schedule says distinctly thst 'all nuts except eokernuts' are to pay twopence a pound These aren't coker-nuto. so twopencs a pound you'll have to pay!”

Took a Long Farm Journey. "John A. Dwight of New York, who uaed to be the Republican whip of the houae. ia descended from the noted Dwight family who owned the biggest farm in the west some thirty years ago," remarked F. A. Henry of New York, at the Raleigh "The Dwight farm took up a whole county Stanley Huntley once told me that on one of bis trips through the west he got off at a station and observed a large crowd of persona weeping and bidding tearful good by to a distingulahed look Ing man who was about to board his train. When the man got aboard and the train started, Huntley, with na tural curiosity, I suppose, approached the stranger and casually observed “ '! presume you are going on a long voyage, perhaps serosa the ocean.' “ No.' replied Ute man; *1 am just going to the other aide of my farm.’ "That waa the I wight far tn."— Washington Post Oil Against Steam.
