the department. Of. the north, an invalid
artillery soldier. who was wounded in
in the late Franco German war, when
he was horribly mutilated by the burst
ing Of d Russian shell. The mans face
was literally blown of, including both
eyes, there being left behind some
scanty remnants Of the csseous and mus
cnlar systems The skull, which is well
covered with hair, was left intact, so
that the man had most hideous and
CHASTITY appearance. 55.4
This Disagreement has been completely
concealed by q mask, which was made
for him under the direction OF the prin-
cipal medical officer of Val de Grace, in
Paris, whittier he had been trans
ferred from the field ambulance. The
mask was constructed by q surgeon
dentist named Delalain. It includes q
false palate and complete set Of false
teeth; and it is SO perfect that the
functions of respiration, which were nee
essarlly and imperfectly performed, are
almost completely restored to their
normal condition, and the voice, which
was rather husky, has ! resumed its
natural tone. The man speaks distinctly,
the sense of smell, which had entirely
disappeared, has returned, and he can
even play the flute. He wears two false
eyes. simply to fill up the cavities Of the
orbits, for the parts representing the eyes
in tho mask are closed. In fact the mask
! is SO well adapted to what remains of the
realface as to be considered one Of the
finest specimens of the prothetic art that
could be devised. :+ss
The man himself, whose name Is
Moreau, and who is in perfect health, is
looked upon as a living curiosity, and
travellers 20 a good deal out of their way
to see him. His face, or rather his mask,
is, Of course, without any expression,
but his special senses, particularly that
of touch, are extremely developed, aad
he goes by the soubriquet Of ''lhomme a
10 tcte de cire." He wears. the military
cross of honor, and delights to talk about
what he had gone through during the
war. To add to his meager pension he
sells q small pamphlet containing a full
description Of his; wounds, and of the
apparatus that has been 80 skillfuly de-
vised as to render him at least present
able to his fellow creatures. 49,

The Changes OF a Century.

It is not an easy matter to obtain
accurate information Of the condition Of
the laboring classes in America a
century ago, but enough is known to as
sure us that the condition Of the labor
ing man of to-day is vastly improved
over those who lived in the days when
the republic was founded and the wars
Of the American revolution were on.
Both rs regards wages and the comforts
Of the lahoring man, times are vastly
improved for the better. In the matter Of
clothes tho stuff was meaner, the food
coarser, and wages were one-half what
) they. are at present. A man who per-

day. If at the end of the week he took
home to his family fifteen shillings-a
sum now about as much as She was
lucky, indeed. It was only by the
/ strictest economy that the half-starved
mechanic could raise his: family.
His dwelling possessed few Of the orna-
ments and refinements which decorate
many mechanics home to-day. Car
pets were unheard Of; sand sprinkled
on on the floor served instead. Glass
and chiDaware were unknown, and
pewter furnished the material for all
the table ware. Matches were unheard
of and cooking stoves not invented. The
wife struck q light with flint or Dor;

it surpasses oil others. Not to speak of the
singers, wEo can make fortunes in few

IN A MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

At an Indian village of unpronounceable
name we stopped for lunch at the only
public resting place-a fondita, which is
Spanish for q little restaurant. The dirt
floor of this wayside inn was neatly swept,
its whitewashed walls hung with pictured
saints wreathed with gaudy paper roses,
rickety-legged wooden benches were ranged
against the walls, and the only two chairs
the establishment afforded were brought
for las Americanas, who are suspected of
not wishing to conform TO the custom of
native Indian women-that of squatting
upon palate. Our refreshments were
speedily spread upon well-scoured table

in green leaves, as the people have a taste
full habit of doing. OF course the inevitable
pulque was at hand, in q pig skin which
gurgled an approving note alnrmingly like
life while emptying its contents into our
mugs. These so. called y pig skins are
really the undressed hides of sheep, with
the wool side turned in. Nothing else is
considered SO good for holding the popular
drink, and we are told that small sized
skin costs about $3.50, but lasts little more
than month, ms the fermentation going on
within soon rots the wool of. The dirtiesi
of the Indians make most delicious cnrd
cheese of mixed goat and cows milk, which
is eaten with wild honey or erunibled into

as the Indians. Evidently the proper flavor
needs certain conditions-of surrounding
dirt, lice, fonl odors, etc, which los afcos
cannot give.

the manse offered us her own cigare tie

things was the endeavor and work of Sem

bench gave him thorough knowledge OF
the subject and whose personal pride, not
to mention political ambition, stimulated
him to great but unavailing effort. His

The Judges cannot be accused of not
working. Justice Bradley who, under the
law, could retire, is one Of the greatest of
workers. He says he prefers the enforced
work to the permitted idleness. There has
been some disappointment in the amount Of
work done by Justice Grey, Justice Cliff

The temperance politicians of Middle
sex defeated Mr.. Anthony Schoder, Re-
publican candidate for the Legislature, by
running prohibition candidate against
him. The Democratic candidate was
elected by 20 votes. What makes this
case particularly aggravated is the fact
that Mr.. Schoder is life long temperance
advocate and Christian gentleman, aud
would have supported any temperance
measure that might come before the
House. The prohibition cranks cast 43
votes for their man, and thus secured the
election of Democrat who will oppose
everything in the shape of temperance
legislation.

and appeared in great numbers of Hyeres.
This town is the most southern point of the

devious for migratory birds In the spring
and autumn, but never before have they
resorted there in summer until the present
year. The circumstance may be interest
ing from medical point of view, indicat-
