Newspaper Page TextOFFICERS OF WARE COUNTY. A New employment for Members of U Gentler Sox. In the numerous schemes for provid ing "our girls" with employment, writes Mrs. Crawford in*London Truth, one outlet which might be greatly de veloped has been overlooked. The lady courier is not yet to the front. But she is likely to be so I' traveled a short timo ago with one. She informed me that she spends as much time in steam ers and railways as the queen's mes senger or the indefstigablo mother oi the prince of Bulgaria. As her life is a wearing one she stipulates for hand- some fees. They are often given un grudgingly to her, and ahe b boarded and lodged as though she were a duchess when traveling with rich and delicate ladies. The lady courier Is ex pected to bo as well posted up as the man courier. The one l had the pleas ure of talking with is sometimes em ployed to escort young ladies from one end of Europe to the other, and ts suf ficiently well bom and educated to go with them, if need be, into society. She made a number of sea voyages as an assistant stewardess to make herself proof against seasickness, with which she la no longer troubled. One of hei troubles Is bring expected, when she travel's with dull persons of her own sex, to unuse them. As they only care for gossip, and like it to be ill natured, she backbites to their hearts* content. But to guard against the danger of mis chief making she invents her charac ters. They do quite as well as if they were real. When rise deals in euloglum she no longer draws on her imagination. A son-in-law of this useful'person is a colonel. The halcyon days 6f this lady courier were when South American re publics were being boomed on the stock exchanges and the money flowed in a steady stream to Buenos Ayres. The ladies who came thenco to seo life In Europe were indolent, spent freely the capital which their husbands found means of getting for the asking.

Of the many results of the rapid striden which science has made is the remarkable skill which medical men have brought to bear upon difficult and dangerous surgical operations. It fraa not-many years ago When it was thought improper to attempt opera tions upon the human body, but the steady onward march of human prog- rcss has given surgeons such a knowl edge of the human anatomy that, they are now enabled to perform feats which formerly would have been credi ted to witchcraft and tho block art, says the New York Herald. At i;he annual meeting of tho Welsh branch of tho British Medical associa tion Dr. Damar Harrison gave an ac count of an operation he had performed upon a boy, which he claimed to- be uniqtie. - ■ Tho boy had the misfortune to cut his wrist with plate-glass, which caused him' to lose'all sense of feeling in tho hand and was followed by com plete paralysis. The lad’s wrist was laid open and it was found that a por tion of the nerve abont two Inches in length . was entirely destroyed.. A young cat was obtained and chloro formed and immediately after death the surgeon cut a nerve out of the hind leg. The nerve was then wrapped in a cloth soaked in warm carbolic lotion and af terward connected with what remained of the boy’s nerve. The result was most gratifying. Sensation returned and the boy was cured. An equally interesting and success ful operation was performed upon a boy who had swallowed a fish-hook. He tried to release it by pulling upon the line, but it had become firmly at tached in the lower and back part of tbe throat. A medical' man was called in and he procured a pistol bullet and bored n hole through it. It was then allowed to slide down over the line to the hook., The weight of the bullet disloged tho hook, which, sticking In the lead and being protected by it. war safely removed. . Half an Acre of Bloom. It must take nearly half an acre ot glass to cover the flowers of the white house conservatory. It keeps two men busy all the time to take care of it, and the finest of all kinds of flowers, from orchids to roses, are in bloom there. There ure broad India rubber plants which are worth from fifty to one hun dred dollars apiece, and there are some flowers which are absolutely worth their weight in gold. On the night of a white house dinner or reception the whole mansion is decorated with flowers, and at one state dinner not long ago there was a floral piece on tbe table which used eight thousand flowers in its making. At a dinner to the supreme court two thousand flowers were used to make a temple of justice, atul at the last diplomatic re ception the mantels of the parlors were banked up with flowers, and at another time they were covered with immense double tulips, rising out of banks of green. The Vegetarian fad. The latest I .ondon fad is the vege> tarian dinner, where people eat ail sorts of imitations of fish, flesh and fowl, with nothing genuine about them. The Britons have suddenly taken to the notion that they eat too much meat, and propose to try something different. When it is remembered that the menu of Nebuchadnezzar was the best quality of meadow grass for seven I years, it will be conceded that with some little variety a vegetarian cannot only live like a king, but a good deal better. Should the present habit of vegetarianism become settled over there It will have a tendency to make a better market for high-grade baled hay.
