THE M'ALESTER
An Item From Afar Regard-
ing the
Koad.
As eager as are the people of
this city for an item regaining the
building of the new railroad it is
impossible to extract any informa-
tion whatever from those most in-
terested. The toll owing is taken
from the McAlester Capital and
may perhaps throw some light on
what is being done:
With regard to the construction
of the Gainesville and McAlester
railroad the Capital is in a posi-
tion to state positively and au-
boritatively that work on this
"projected linn will begin at no
distant date.

The Ago or Trepanning.
The curious custom of trepanning—
that is, of removing small pieces of
bone from the living head—is very an-
cient and widely spread. In his recent-
ly published book, "Prehistoric Prob-
lems," Dr. Munro has devoted a chap-
ter to "Prehistoric Trepanning and
Cranial Amnlets." About the same
Hmo r>ra H Malhrtf. and V em pan (
published in L'Anthropologie (tome
7) a memoir on the Chaouias and the
trepanning of the skull in the Aures.
The method of trepanning is very
fully described, and a native doctor
showed Dr. Malbot a skull with over a
dozen circular holes, two slits and a
large irregular orifice, all of which had
been pierced when tho man was alive.
The skull, though taken from a grave,
was kept hidden, and it evidently was
used as an example by the local doctors.
The enthusiastic French doctor says:
"The Chaouias respect their tombs, and
on no pretext will rifle them. The love
of science alone can explain this prof-
anation on the part of our trepanner.
It is the same sentiment which has led
to our possession of the specimen. " Dr
Malbot describes how he acquired the
specimen which is now in the Museum
d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. The na-
tives have recourse to trepanning for
blows or wounds on the head. It does
uot matter how long before the blow
may have been given, if only a sick
person can remember that ho has had
one Tho operation is by no means a se-
vere one, as the people have a most re-
markable recuperative constitution. A
woman, tired of the conjugal yoke, has
been known to call in the services of a
trepanner in order to procure a divorce
from her husband by producing a piece
of her skull, which she affirmed had
been broken by his ill treatment—Na-
ture.
The Secret of Longevity.
Sir Isaac Holden, who died in his
ninety-first year, was neither a teeto-
taler nor a nonsmoker. Sir Isaac was a
man with theories. According to him,
tho two great essentials for those who
would live long and be healthy are
plenty of fresh air and plenty of fruit.
His rule was never, if he could help it,
to spend less than two hours a day in
tho open air When he entered his first
situation, he said to his employer that
ho would be glad to have an hour daily
in tho afternoon for a walk. If granted,
ho would not ask for any holiday, or
would make up otherwise for the time
so spent. This was agreed to. Sir Isaac
took his walk daily, aud to this, he
used to say, he owed both health and
fortuna
But though in addition to fresh air
he believed in plenty of fruit, Sir Isaac
was not a vegetarian. It was not meat,
but bread, from which he abstained.
Like Wesley, whose "Natural Philoso-
phy" he studied when a boy, he saw in
farinaceous food a thing to be avoided
by the elderly. "I take for my break
fast," he said a few years ago, "a baked
apple, an orange, 20 grapes aud a bis-
cuit made from bananas. My midday
meal consists of about three ounces of
beef or mutton, with now and again a
half cupful of soup. If I take a little
fish, I take so much less of meat. For
supper I practically repeat my breakfast
menu." The orange was his favorite
fruit Wine he eschewed, but on re-
turning from the house of oommons to
Queen Anne's mansions he had a tum-
bler of whisky and hot water before go-
ing to bed. He took no drink with his
food, and this obliged him to masticate
well. He smoked two or three cigars a
day, from which he used to say that he
derived both oomfort and benefit—St
James' Gazette.
