Much has been written about the
education Louisvillians have received
through the grand music of the EX-
position, and the demand for the flu
ture created. There are some grains
of truth in it, but not many. The

WOMAN'S PRAYER.
TSelected for the MoNIToR.]

Twas a widows home, and winter night,
With moonlight and snow the world was white,
And out of the window a woman's eyes
Looked over the field, and up at the skies
With gaze that burned with a solemn ire,
That leaped like flame from heart on fire.
Away and over the field of snow,
They had carried her husband month ago
To a dfunkard's grave-and drunkard's fame
Like the blight of mildew had covered his name.
And her only son, with his fathers thirst,
Like fiend at his throat, by the demon cursed,
Was led in chains to that loathsome den,
Where demons are made of the hearts of men.
She had plead with them, she had plead with him,
It'll hef checks grew pale and her eyes grew dim,
She had pointed the way that his father trod
That led to the grave meath the frozen sod vain,
She e-had warned and counselled, and prayed in
His soul was held by hook and chain;
And the demon laughed with chuckle and grin.
"Aha!' he said, ssbut L shall winl
Let the mother weep, and beg, and pine!
By the law of the land that right is mine.
There Is no law like that of gold;
have bought the right to win and hold.
I bought the right, and bought it dear,
Shall give it up for womans tear?"
Have come to you with story old,
That is hackneyed and worn till it will not hold?
To be passed around? 1t is not new;
1t is old as the crime that made it true.
1t has run through long chapters ofgref and shame
1t has published its heroes name by name,
And how much they could drink as the standard
of fame

TWO GUINEAS AND FOUR
MEN.

-Four gentlemen were seated at
table in the smoking-room of the
steamer Alaska, of the Gunion line,
on her recent remarkable trip across.
The sea was running heavy, and the
smoking-room steward found it del
icate matter to place a glass and
bottle before each of the four gentle
men and to uncork the complimenta-
ry ginger ale otherwise than on his
head. The conversation turned on
the extraordinary speed the steamer
was making, and led to a bet. In
covering" the wager of Il sovereign
upon a trivial matter one of the four
gentlemen took from his purse a
guinea of the reign of William and
Mary.
There are only two of them in ex-
istence," he said proudly, land this
piece is worth a hundred times its
face value. Had the other the col
lection of two would be simply in
valuable to numismatists."
He laid it on the table as he spoke,
and in a moment after the coin had
disappeared. Nobody saw it fall or
glide off the table. Nobody saw
anybody else take it. Its owner
searched high and low; his three
companions and the steward helped
him. No other persons were in the
compartment, and yet the coin could
not be found.
These four men had been strangers
to each other when the voyage began.
They had been five days out and were
rapidly nearing port. The owner of
the valuable coin was inconsolable,
suspicious, aud profane by turns.
''I'Il tell you what is the best thing
to do" said one of the party. 1.-The
coin is not on the floor; it cannot
have rolled through the ceiling.
Somebody here must have it. Let all
of us be searched"
All agreed but one gentleman who
had hitherto said nothing. He posi-
lively refused to suffer such an indlg-
nity When it was suggested to him
that where all others agreed no single
persons ought to object he simply de-
clined, made his bow, took his drink
alone and left for his state-room.
The good ship Alaska ploughed on
to her sixth day, and just after her
completing it Fire island was sighted.
The gentleman who had refused to
be searched had been put in coven-
try; the three others who sat at the
table with him unanimously suspect
ed him.
But just as the pilot came aboard
the Alaska the gentleman who had
lost the guinea found it sticking in
the sole of his boot, where it had
been wedged ever since he had first
displayed it. He was overjoyed at
his discovery and anxious to make
amends for his suspicious.
But" said he to the gentleman
who had refused to be searched, ''why
on earth did you not agree as we all
did to such simple test? That would
have settled the matter instantly"
.'No, it wouldn't answered the
other.
..Why not?''
because producing his purse)
there is the only other coin in the
world-same date, same color, worn
the same That is the reason l re-
fused to be searched, for nothing on
earth would have made you believe
this was not your own coin had you
not been so lucky as torecover it.
As the Alaska steamed into port a
social glass removed all traces of un-
pleasantness.

Skin Grating in Paris.

The Paris papers contain detailed ac-
counts of the really remarkable opera
ton of skin grating performed by M.
Lamalleree OF that city, in which case
gratis were employed from two differ
ent sources, human being and rab-
bit-those from the latter evincing a
superior amount of vitality. In this
case, the patient, man thirty-seven
years old had suffered for six years from
a verbose ulcer of the left thigh, which
resisted every form of treatment; the
ulcer was fourteen ceutimeters long
and eight deep. AT the request of the
patient. DR.. Lamalleree resorted TO
skin grating, procuring, for the pur-
pose, six gratis from the shaven abdo-
men of n rabbit and two from the fore,
arm of man. These having been
placed in position. a Lister dressing
was applied; after the lapse of eight
days this was removed, and il was
found that those furnished by the rab-
bit had become adherent and that new
skin was forming rapidly in their i'm
mediate neighborhood; while, on the
other hand, the two human pieces had
not adhered. The dressing was con-
tinued eight days longer, and when re-
moved. an islet of skin, ten centimeters
long and seven wide, was seen to have
established itself upon the centre of the
ulcer. The dressing was again reap
piled and maintained in place for eight
days, at the completion of which it was
taken OFF and the sore was found COM
pletely cicatrized. Two months later
the healing was progressing favorably,
the newly-formed skin showing no trace
of its origin.

One of the saddest tragedies that can occur

Saturday and Sunday, Jan. and 2, the partic-

John Edward Monck Of Chatham, Ont, with
their ninc-months old baby had been stopping
at the Franklin House since November last. On
Saturday evening Monck called one Of the en-
ployes, and asked him to take the child TO one
Of the guests of the house, as he and Mrs.
Monck were going out The request was COM
piled with, and nothing more was seen OF him.
About 10 O'Clock the lady who had been caring
for the child, being anxious to retire, called the
same cmploye TO ascertain II Mr.. and Mrs.
Monck had returned. The boy tried the door
and found It locked. He reported the case to
the night clerk, who provided him with pass

Facts for the CuriOus.

Women physicians practiced their
profession in Egypt over 5000 years
ago, and then, as now, there were medi-
cal schools that adopted the coeducation
plan.
The tallest trees in the world are in
Australia. A fallen tree in Gippsland
measured 435 feet from the root to the
hihgest point of the branches. Another
standing in the Dundenong district in
Victoria, is estimated to be $50 feet
from the ground to the top.
The chamois, bounding over the
mountain, are indebted in no small de-
gree to a species of pheasants. The
bird acts as a sentinel; for as soon as it
gets in sight of man it whistles upon
heating which the channels, knowing the
hunters to be near, sets out at full
speed.
The twinkling of the stars is general
ly admitted to be due to moisture in the
upper air. M. Montigny, in paper
published in Les Modes, holds that a
very pronounced twinkling of the stars
indicates either commotion in the upper
regions of the atmosphere or sudden
fall OF temperature there, thus denoting
the conditions of an early appearance Of
bad weather.
When a strong east wind blows over
the Sea of Azoy the waters retire in a

sometimes involves the fate of Pharaoh,
for a sudden change of wind will bring
the water quickly back to its usual
place, and travellers are frequently swal-
lowed up by the tickle waves.
