FATE OF AN EXPLORER.
Mide An Idiot By Tortures Inflicted
By Tibetans.
His last journey was to the North,
into the strange countries that in-
close the Himalayas, and when they
found him again. he was like that—
again Colin pointed to the portrait
of the stricken man's son. He was
liko that—only worse—far worse!
He had set out young, vigorous, alert;
he came back bowed as if with age.
his hair white, his face sunken and
turrowed. his mind disordered, and
peculiarly horrible must have been
the expression of his eyes. For the
lids had been slit across the middle,
and were now but half healed. He is
said to have tottered into the station
without knowing it for what it was;
as though he had been led to a point
in the road and left to take his
chance. Thus he returned again, and
no one knew where he had been or
what great trials had so changed him;
for he had no answer to the ques-
tions they put, and he was alone; he
knew nothing, his memory and with
it his whole past seemed lost to him,
nor did he even recognize the friends
into whose care he had come. They
sent him home after a while, to this
house; and here he was won back
to some semblance of life by the de-
voted woman, whom, later on. he
married—the mother of his son. He
lived here quietly for a number of
years, he and his wife and the boy.
and then one night he blew his brains
out.— Metropolitan Magazine.
Marvels of Surgeon's Art
Thanks to Pasteur and Lister. th<
surgeon of to-day can do some aston
ishing tilings in the way of grafting
one piece of living tissue on another.
A remarkable rase is furnished by a
doctor who writes to the British Medi-
cal Journal. His patient had a finger
bitten clean off by a pig. through the
shaft of its middle bone. He put th«
finger in his pocket, among a lot of
tobacco dust and other rubbish, and
walked with a friend six miles to th<
doctor, who demanded to see it. The
finger had been (lit off for about two
hours. The doctor applied antiseptU s
to the end of the finger after wiping
off the tobacco and ashes and dirt,
similarly cleansed the stump that re
mained on the patient's hand, put the
two together, applied a couple of
splints, and the patient uses his fin-
ger to-day. Such are the healing pow-
ers of the healthy body.
And now a Frenchman is advertising
his willingness to sell his nose and
ears for similar purposes to those who
have need of them. His prices are to
be "moderate at first." and there 's
little doubt that there will be offers.
Skin-grafting, of course, is now quite
commonplace It is done in our hospi-
tals every day. The skin to replace
that destroyed by a burn or other
causes may be taken rrom a healthy
portion of the patient's own skin,
from Another human being, from a
rabbit, the abdomen of a young puppy,
1 <> from various other sources. The
' i pcration is of great value in count-
■ less cases.
j Similarly, part of a nerve may have
beei destroyed and it is impossible
' to bring the two ends together. Such
j c::ses have been successfully treated
| by joining the er.ds with a piece of
i uerv< or of a spinal cord from a rab-
' bit.
| Sir William Maccwen of Glasgow
has had great success in bone-graft-
ing Suppose that inflammatory dis-
ease has completely destroyed, as it
often 'nay. t ie snatt of the shinbone.
In such cases a piece of bone from
one of the lower animals, or a piece
of healthy bone taken from a recently
amputated human limb (amputated by
accidr nt may till tne gap.

When Jim Came Home
DAN DALY AND THE EDITOR.
Comedian Had Rather the Best of
Short Controversy.
Dan Daly in his younger days es-
sayed to write fiction, and went to
the editor of a Boston paper with his
first effusion. The editor criticised
the work severely and advised the
future comedifcn to study Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
The vein of humor peculiar to
Daly had developed even at that early
date. He said reflectively:
"If my story were printed it would
measure about Jialf a column, would
it not?"
"About that," replied the editor,
wondering what that had to do with
it.
"Your rate of payment is $5 per
column, I believe?" pursued the
young man.
"Yes."
"Good day. 1 like to be pleasant
and agreeable and popular with every-
body; I am even willing to dethrone
Hawthorne to please an editor—but
not for $2, not for $2."
Whereupon he casually departed.—

Compromised With the Rat.
A Portland man who maintains a
summer cottage on the cape has dur-
ing the past winter exercised* a bit
of diplomacy that achieved the de-
sired result nicely. During last fall
a large rat made its appearance
about the cottage that defied all ef-
forts to trap or exterminate it. and
the aggressive campaign was aband-
oned in despair. But it would not
do to leave the rodent in full and free
possession of the premises, as the
mischief it might inflict on the fur-
nishings during the winter would be
considerable. The owner concluded
to try an expedient that suggested it-
self to him, and, as before stated, the
plan proved an emphatic success. At
least once a week the cottage has
been visited and a quantity of food
left in the cellar. This arrangement
was at once ratified by the rodent,
which has abstained from depreda-
tions in consideration for the bounty
upon which it has waxed sleek.—
Kennebec Journal.
A Criminal Paradise.
Spain's criminal settlement in the
Zafarina Islands is said to be quite a
paradise of convicts. Their liberty is
restricted only so far that they must,
not leave the islands and must return
at night to prison unless they obtain
leave of absence for the night. At (J
o'clock in the morning the convicts
leave the prison. Some do a little
work, but the majority go straight to
the various wineshops and hostleries,
where they pass the day drinking,
singing and occasionally breaking the
monotony of life with a little knifing
—for each respectable prisoner car-
ries his "faca" (knife) day and night
with him. This idyllic state of things
appears less strange if one considers
that the prison warders—the "capa-
tares"—are the liquor sellers of the
islands, and that a good deal of illicit
trading is carried on in those places
of resort, the prisoners buying revol-
vers, ammunition. housebreakers'
tools and similar articles.—Chicago
News.
His Package.
1 got a Christmas package,
If was a costly gift;
Indeed, that Christmas package
Was all that I could lift.
I diil not get that package
All at a single store;
That package I collected
At nfleen shops or more.
I carried home that package
And rang the front door bell;
My wife beheld that paekagc,
Hut did not greet it well.
She gazed upon that package
And icily she said.
' Wlo re did you get that package?
Yon monster, go to bed."

Long-Lived Married Women.
By far the greater part of the cen-
tenarians who died in 1903 were wom-
en, and nearly all of them were mar-
ried. One of these specimens of lon-
gevity hail not slept out of London for
sixty years, which fact the Lady's

purity and invigorating power of I^on-

A woman said the other day she's j
losing her grip. She meant, that the
other woman was becoming discour- J
aged and was verging toward despair, j
Thai the other woman's mental dis- i
turbance was obvious, meant the j
gradual and ultimate loss to her of |
the confidence in her ability to carry 1
responsibilities.
The consequence is pathetic—yes-— I
but as the world goes, it is so.
No matter how discouraged you are,
don't seem to be losing your grip,
cautions a writer in the Chicago Jour-
nal.
If you feel one hand figuratively
loosening on your efforts and duties,
take an overgrasp with the other, and
if you cannot climb, just hang on to
the situation.
Make it apparent that you have con-
fidence in yourself. While doing
this, you assure to yourself the trust
of others in your ability and in your
force to carry it into effect.
It is very hard, often bitterly difTi
cult, to act this part when you are
feeling utterly crushed. But you
must do it in order to achieve.
There are lots of hard things that
must bo done in achieving and sus-
taining a business of social or artis-
tic success---and one of the hardest is
not to seem discouraged when the
tide of adversity is sweeping you off
your feet.
But, no matter how soul-wrenching
it is. the direst calamity that could
happen in your darkest hour is to
seem to be losing your grip.
So hang on tenaciously when every-
body can read clearly that only ob-
stacles are coming your way.
Don't forget that the world casually
pities and never sympathizes with
and soon forgets the lost grip.
All this is cold comfort for the day
of net d—cold and brassy. •
But is a simple and straight telling
of one way of the world—a way of
the world that is cold and brassy.
So don't set m to be losing your
grip.

Bunyan Warrant for Sale
The announcement of the impending
sale of the original warrant on which
John Bunyan was arrested 23d years
ago and clapped into Bedford jail
for a canting, crop-headed vagabond
has evoked many expressions of fer-
vent hope from English bibliophiles
that the document will not be allowed
to cross the Atlantic.
Interest in Bunyan relics is very
keen among collectors, and it is sure
to fetch a big price. Three years a^o

ress"—published at thirty-six cents—

On the six miles between tho two

there have been forty-two lives lost,
all being in good health at the time
of their death. On this six miles of
railroad and wagon road, running
parallel with the railroad, seven ne-
groes, twenty whites and thirteen In-
