A dilapidated man walked into q
Pittsburg shoe-store few days ago
and said he desired to make purchase
His need of new outfit was apparent,
but his coarse, soiled and ragged clothes
and general air of decay forbade the
supposition that he would desire or
could pay for fine article. But he con-
temptuously rejected the clerk first of
fers and finally accepted an excellent
pair of handmade shoes. When he had
ascertained the price he drew from a
bundle of various articles held together
by bandana handkerchief u cigarbox,
and, quietly opening it, disclosed to the
clerks astonished gaze about $4,000
in bills and coin. After some adroit
questioning he explained that he had
wandered away from his fathers farm
many years ago, and had drifted around
the country without gathering any moss,
until finally, not long ago, he ''struck
it rich'' in a Western mine, and had
made q fortune, of which the contents
of the cigar box were only II small part.
He was on his way home to see his
parents, and in norderto make their con
sternation iandfiis own amusement COM
plete, he proposed to- appear before
them in . poverty stricken guise, and
not diyulge his real condition until he
had enjoyed their tears and welcome
and sympathy. Then he intended to
complete the melodrama by setting it
up for the old folks in gorgeous style, -"
and the new shoes were for use in the
transformation scene.

The Beauiou Hospital ut Paris has
lust witnessed most Interesting case
of TRANSMISSION of blood, which will prob
ably result in cure. DR.. Sable had in
his employ woman who was harassed
with fatty tumor on the mock, which
weighed nearly eight pounds. Tired of
living in tho constant dread of such an
afffiction, the woman determined to have
it cut out or die under the operation.
DIR. Sabine 1T first refused to entertain
tho Thought of performing tho difficult.
if not impossible, feat. but persuaded
by the woman s sentroaties and the threat
that she would take her life if refused,
he undertook the operation, which he
performed AZ tho hospital clinic in the
presence of number of students.
The courageous woman marched into
the ampitheator without CULVER and
placed herself on couch. where an
anasthetic was administered TO the
willing patient After working a halt
hour the ablation was successfully per-
formed, and salvo Of piaudits greeted
tho surgeon for the skill that no had
displayed About sixty s'artery catch
ers" held the principal vessels of the
mock, whilst q full Wow of the carotid
artery could be obtained rs It throbbed
somewhat irregularly. The life of The
patient, however, WAS for timo In great
danger on account of the necessary loss
Of blood attendant on such m operation,
and to save the patients life tho doctor
was compelled to resort to the method
OF TRANSMISSION.
A young and vigorous student named
Lecomte offered himself to snve the fast
ebbing life, and his arm WINS uncovered.
BY the use OF the apparatus of DIR. Rous-
sell, of Geneva, which operates the trans
fusion Of blood without contract with
the air, $40 gra1nmes of blood were in
jected into the dying woman's body.
Shortly afterward a spasmodio move
ment and a. slight coloratlon Of the
chealks showed how effective the remedy
had proven.
This method is somewhatunusual, as,
during the last few years. TRANSMISSION
was operated after the blood from the
healthy body had been beaten to detach
the fibrino, consequently the injected
blood was not only imperfect, but the
operation was alike dangerous to the
two patients. The patient is progress
ing favorably, and, thanks TO the gen
erous devotion of Nj. Lecomte, she will
live to bless the day when her bravery
led her TO domand the exercise of DR..

Proposed Change of New York Name.

''Now or never,o we may say with

On ths Oolors of Water.

4
Viewed in relatively shallow masses,
| clear water appears wholly colorless.
| In our daily dealings with the liquid we
| seldom have occasion to observe it in
great depths; hence it has been general
| ly believed that water is quite destitute
| of color. The ancients were accustomed
to explain the transparency of some
| bodies by assuming that they partook of
the nature of water; and we now speak
| of diamond as of the first water, to
emphasize its perfect transparency and
colorlessness. If, however, we regard
the larger MASSES of water in nature
the seas, lakes, and rivers-we shall re-
ceive Il different impression. IN these,
the water not only appears colored, but
of various colors, and of a rich diversity
of shades, The Mediterranean is of a,
beautiful indigo, the ocean is sky.blue,
the Lake of Geneva ia celebrated for its
lovely and transparent azure waters; the
Lake of Constance and the Rhine, the
Lake of Zurich and the Lake of Lucerne,
have waters quite as transparent, but
rather green than blue; and the green
waters of the little Lake of kloenthal.
near Gl4ris, can hardly be distinguished
from the surrounding meadows. Other
waters are of darker color, like those
of the Lake of Statlel, at the foot of the
Bavarian Alps, which was quite black
the day | saw it, though clearin shallow
places. -.- IF.
These facts start the questions wheth-
or water after all, has not II color; if it
has, what the color is, and what causes
the varied tints under which it is seen.
The solutions of these questions has
long occupied the minds OF scientific in
'quirers, and'it can not yet be said that
they have been answered. Disagree
ment still prevails respecting them.

Woman's Disadvantage in oourtship

Womans Disadvantage in Oourtship.
A mans quest of a spous is limited
only by his time and opportunities for
looking around. He can try to win
anybody, although "a reasonable chance
of success may attend him with but few.
At any rate, he stands squarely upon
his check and his merits, and that Is
enough. On the contrary, society says
that a woman must never GO n step of
her way to secure the best and most
desirable of mankind. She must simply
sit and wait until chance brings the
longed-for opportunity of speaking. In
fact, it is said that young ladies pride
themselves upon feeling as well as seem
ing indifferent to oil men until an effort
is made to awaken their interest. No
wonder social reforlners protest. If
young maidenhood did not 80 often fall
a victim to the first flight OF Cupid's
darts, its range of choice would still be
very Small AS they go, rich and poor,
pretty and homely, Intelligent and ig-
norant, probably women would not, if
they accepted none of them, receive on
an average more than half dozen Of
fers apiece, and not over three of theae
reasonably eligible. Suppose that sho
is fortunate enough to win . score of
suitors, young lady is still terribly
handicapped. Like enough none of the
twenty would be just to her liking, and
meanwhile one she greatly preferred to
any Of the others might: just escape
coming under the spell of her charms.
1t is all very pretty, but this sitting in
':maiden meditation fancy free," until
some stray youth makes vigorous eff
fort to deprive the aforesaid fancy of
its liberty, is very unsatisfactory thing
whom critically examined. Probably it
may never be advisable to put women
on an exact equality with man and let
her go forth with stock of caramels
and valentines to her ideal, and put the
motto, ''If at first you don't succeed,
try, try again to practical test. At
al events, anything of that kind is far
in the future. If, however, man is to
be robbed of his time-honored preroga-
tives or forced to share them on even
terms, we respectfully submit that ade-
quate attention be given to his immense
advantages in courtship. - Cleveland

Learning to Swim

The greatest difficulty to tho beginner
8 to learn to keep the proper position
| II the body after attaining it. This diff
ticulty can only be overcome by using
jhe proper stroke after having placed
the body In the correct position.
In the use of tho arms, tho only direo-
| ton that can be given Is to remember
| that when tho arms are thrust forward
at the beginning OF the stroke. such po-
sition of Che elbows and hands should be
| taken as will mako tho least resistance
| to tho wator. To accomplish this, tho
hands should no placed palm to palm
and tho elbows made to come close to-
gethe1. striking them from under the
chest In making the effective part Of
the stroke, our object is to get for
ward motion only. The arms and hands
should bo 80 placed as to produce the
greatest resistance upon the water. To
accomplish this, tho palms of the hands
should be thrown outward and the
plane of the direction of the stroke Of
the arms made parallel to the surface of
the water.
The most Important and the most
often defective point in swimming is
the mode Of using the legs. It would
be well for beginner to observe the
swimming of frog, for undoubtedly
the same method of using the legs
should be adapted by man as IS dis
played in the model swimming of that
amphihian.
In analyzing tho stroke of the frog, we
notice that there is no vertical motion;
the whole direction of the force is in q
plane exactly horizontal, and is accom-
plished by virtually opening and clos
ing the space between the knees--otfer-
ing the sole OF the foot as aresistance
while kicking, and placing the feet in q
position of least resistance while rocov-
'ering.
In accomplishing the first of these
conditions the opening and closing of
the space between the knees tho knees
should be thrown out, and the con-
traction of the legs made slowly, in
order to cause as little resistance as
possible to the headway already at
tanned.
1t win be found that, IL we alternate
the stroke of the arms and legs by Civ
ing propulsion with one while recover
ing with the other, far more. constant
buoyancy will be attained. and, for. long
swims. it will be found far less fatigu-
ing.-P0palar Scieace Nonth{y,

Island No. 10

Many old soldiers will remember
Island No. TO-, before and about which
Pope sat for SO many weeks. Then II
was q great island. Before the war il
had 400 acreS of cultivated iand2a fine
residence, splendid orchard and taoves
of fig trees, negro cabins, fences and all
that goes to make up a prosperous plan
tation. In the time of the war the
shores of Island No 10.wore lined with
batteries supported by 1000 men. To-
day this island does not exist-the place
where it stood is known by slight rip
pie on the surface of the water. 1t got
its foundations too thoroughly shook up
to stand.
