REPAIRING INJURIES.


incidents Showing How Nature Reproduces
Parts Which Have Been Destroyed.
We see this in the production of adj
mirably formed joints in parts which
were at first devoid of anything of the
kind. l may quote, as an example,
the case of railway guard, whose arm
had been SO injured that he had been
compelled to have the elbow with its
joint cut out, but who afterward de-
veloped new joint almost as good as
the old one. In the uniniured condi-
tion the cater bone of the lower arm
the radius-ends above in a smooth
surfaced cup, which plays against part
of the lower end of the bone of the up
per arm, or humerus, while its side also
plays against the side of the other bone
of the lower arm, the ulna, with the
interposition of cartilaginous surface.
The radius and ulna are united to the
humerus by dense and strong men,
branes or ligaments, which pass be-
tween it and them anteriorly, poster
iorly and on each side, and are attached
to projecting processes, one on each
side of the humerus. Such was the
condition of the parts which were re-
moved by the surgeon. Nine years
after the operation the patient died, and
Mr.. Syme had the opportunity of dis
secting the arm, which in the meantime
had served the poor man perfectly
well, he having been in the habit
or swinging himself by it from one
carriage to another while the train was
in motion, quite as easily and securely
as with the other arm. On examina-
ton Mr.. Syme found that the ampu-
tated end of the radius had formed
fresh polished surface, and played both
on the humerus and the ulna, mate
rial something like cartilage being in
terposed. The ends of the bones of
the forearm were locked in by two
processes projecting downward from
the humerus, and also strong lateral
and still stronger anterior and posterior
ligaments again bound them fast to the
last-named bone. 1t would be easy to
bring forward number of more or less
| similar cases. The amount of repro
duction of lost parts which may take
place in many of the lower animals is
| astonishing. Thus the tails of lizards,
if broken off, will grow again, and the
with their bones, muscles, blood YES
sells and nerves. Even the eye and the
lower jaw have been seen to be repro
| duced in the last-named animals. If
certain worms be cut in two, each half
will become perfect animal, the head
| producing new tail and the tail new
head; and worm called a ndiS has
been cut into as many as twenty-five
| parts with like result. But the most
remarkable animal for it's power of re-
pairing injuries is the freshwater by
| dra, almost any fragment of which
will, under favorable circumstances,
| grow into new and entire fresh ami
NAL. 1t is also notorious and very
noteworthy fact that, in both man and
the lower animals, the processes of re-
pair take place the more readily the
younger the age of the injured individ-
ual may be.-St. George MiUGrt, IN

CHILDREN'S TOYS.

Man Who Has Made a Small Fortune by
Manufacturing and Selling Nothing
Else.
A reporter who was strolling up
Second avenue a few evenings ago
had his attention drawn to number
of children in front of a small store.
They were eagerly scrutinizing and
admiring a number of many-colored
wooden and rubber balls in the win
dow. The writer, upon entering,
found a multitudinous assortment of
children's toys. The salesman and
proprietor, all in one, was asked which
assortment of toys pleased the little
ones most and met with the greatest
demand, and replied with as much seri-
business as a man who did million
dollars worth of business in year:
THAT all depends on the season of
the year. my friend. Just now the
bouncing ball is in season. What is a
bouncing ball?" repeated the man,
with apparent amazement at the report
er's ignorance of children's playthings.
'Why, here it is. Let me show you
how it is worked, for guess the little
thing was not in vogue when you were
young
The vender of the so-called bounc-
ing ball, which had an india-rubber
string attached to it, bounced it in all
directions, catching it scientifically in
his hand as it bounced back. At the
end of the string was a small loop,
through which the operators finger is
inserted, thus leaving the hand in a
position to be open so as to receive the
ball.
'.Do you sell many of these toys?"
was asked.
Thousands" came the prompt re-
ply. ''They are cheap, and besides
easily lost. Then again we have the
India-rubber ball, which IS most sought
after because it is not so liable to
smash windows or looking glasses. The
wooden bouncing ball, as you can see,
is q very hard substance, and sometimes
gives the youngsters hard knock. I've
seen many of them with pretty good
Jumps on their faces from their efforts
to catch the ball as it rebounds"
''How do the prices rangep"
"All the way from one to fifteen
cents. Come around here any day,
Sunday particularly, and you will see a
stream of children going and coming
from here that would do your heart
good"
"You seem to be making a good liv-
ing" was remarked.
Eyes. Ihave lived here for nearly
eighteen years, and have been in no
other business than selling children s
toys in all that time. l am not mil
lionaire, but have plenty, thank good
ness. l please the young folks and
they please me, God bless them! 1t
was through their patronage I bought
this little house few years ago, so
that have made up my mind that I
will cater to the little ones until I am
called away. l am busy all the year
round, between kites, skipping ropes.
tops, hooples, marbles, sleighs, and
many other kinds of toys for children.

KANSAS SHEEP.
A Woman's Observations on a Great West
erO Industry.

A Woman's Observations on a Great West
ern Industry.
Sheep there were, indeed; thousands
of them, objects of unfailing concern to
the gentlemen and delight to the ladies.
"What is that stone wall?" asked,
one afternoon, lady sitting on the
piazza with her opera glass.
THAT stone wall, madam" answered
a Harvard graduate, politely, ''is the
sheep coming in to the corral"
To see the sheep go in and out, night
amusement. Sometimes the ladies wan
dered down to the corrals at sunset to
see the herds come in, and you would
have supposed them to be waiting for a
Fourth of-July procession with banners,
from the eagerness with which they ex
claimed: ''Oh, here they come! there
they are!' as the first faint tinkling of
the bells was heard in the distance. Ii
two herds appeared at once from oppo-
site directions, the one with lambs had
the fright of way" and Sly, the sheep
dog-not the only commander who has
controlled troops by sitting down IN
front of them-would hold the other
herd in check till the lambs were safely
housed. The lambs born on the prai-
RE during the day frisked back at night
to the corral beside their mothers, a
lamb four hours old being able to walk
mile
When shearing-time came, they went
into the sheds expecting to see the thick
wool fall in locks beneath the shears,
like the golden curls of their own dar-
lings; great was the amazement to see
the whole woody fleece taken off MUCH
as if it had been an overcoat, looking
still, if it were rolled up in ball, like
veritable sheep, and often quite as
large as the shorn and diminished
creature that had once been part of it.
One very hot day they braved the heat
themselves for the sake of going out on
the prairie to see how sheep keep cool.
Instead OF scattering along the creek,
seeking singly the shade of the bushes
OF the tall trees only to be found near
the creek, they huddle together in the
middle of the sunny field more closely
than ever, hang their heads in the
shadow OF each others bodies, and re-
main motionless for hours. Not a
single head is to be seen as you sp-
proach the herd; only broad level
field of woody backs. supported by a
small forest of little legs.-Alace VEL

A Marriage Fair in ROumanis.
[Donoline's Magazine.1

We have had baby shows and bsrmaid
shows, but what shall we say to an an
nual fair for manageable young girls?
Such show is of immemorial custom
among the Roumanians. As the time for
the fair approaches, the fathers, whose
children are manageable, collect what
they can afford as a dowry Whatever
this consists of, it is packed if possible,
into cart or carriage, and on the ap-
pointed day they all-fathers, children,
and chattels-start for some trysting
place, generally chosen among the
western mountains of Transyl-
vania When the fair is opened, the
fathers climb to the top of their carriages
and shout with the whole power of their
lungs, 81 have daughter to marry. Who
wants a wifel" The call Is answered by
some other parent who has q son he IS
anxious to pair off. The two parents
compare notes, and if the marriage por.
ton is satisfactory, the treaty is then and
there concluded. The young man takes
possession of his wife and all her goods
and chattels, and drives off merrily. If,
on the other hand, the match Is not equal,
or for some other reason unsatisfactory,
then the parents begin to cry their live
merchandise once more.

a Cabinet Minister'S Wife.
Washington letter.


The cabinet officers wives have each
year to call first upon the wives of the
justices of the supreme court, and then
upon the senator's wives-every one of
them. Having gotten rid of those seventy
odd social debts, the cards of general call
ers pour in upon them at the rate of 300
400 and 500 per week, and the
senseless, old unwritten law com
mands that every one of them shall
be returned in person. A dozen instances
can be quoted where women died, or were
left invalids for years, by this stupid eX-
action of society There has been great
talk all of the time against the absurdity
of the custom, now that Washington has
grown so ia beyond its estate in he days
when it was established but none like to
assume the initiative in doing away with
it, and it would require concerted action
to carry it through successfully.

Mrs F. @. De Fontaine now Of New
York city, who has had it in her posses
sion ever since the fall Of the Confederacy.
At that time her husband. Felix Gregory
de Fontaine, a we'll known Journalist aud
war correspondent, was the editor and
publisher of paper in Columbia, s. &.
After the evacuation of Richmond
train load of boxes con-
tanning public documents, etc, was
shipped to Columbia. De Fontaine
needed paper on which to print his
journal, but where to get it was puz-
cling problem. George A. Trenholm
happened to be in Columbia at the time,
and to him the journalist explained the
situation. Go down. said Trenholm, to
the depot and help yourself to some of
the Confederate boxes, in which some
thing may turn up that Will answer your
purpose. De Fontaine acted upon this,
and one of the boxes contained the Con
federate Constitution. Mrs. De Fontaine
laid claim to this relic and has
sacredly protected it ever since

The Festive Bowl in Gotham.
[Cor. Boston Herald.l


Never before in the history of New
York fashionable society has there been
so much wine drinking as during the pres
ent season. No form of evening enter
tainment exists at which champagne is
not freely served. AT the german, the
parties, the balls one and all, at dinners
and under every possible pretext, wine is
furnished. and all hands, including the
young women, drink freely and without
becoming the subject of comment In
deed, it is expected that they will partake,
and if their eyes sparkle the more and
rosy tint attaches to the complexion, so
much the better, and no harm done The
AstOrs and the VanderbiltS would no
more give dinner or a ball without wine
than they would exclude flowers for
adornment and china for use. The same
practice prevails daily at half the dinner
tables of the fashionable folks Of the town,
whether there be guests or not The
wine glass is as the goblet for water, and
is more frequently used. This is a condi-
ton of affairs that temperance people are
powerless to reform.
The edicts of fashions fancies are not
easily frowned down. Indeed, it is some
thing like 20 years since New York city
had anything akin to O temperance revival,
and there is to be found among all sorts of
people decided feeling against the agita-
ton of abstinence principles. There are
no temperance lectures, no temperance
demonstrations. and precious few tenn
perance sermons There have been told
this winter scandalous stories Of drunken
ness at the most fashionable of the balls
and parties, but there is a general DISPOSE
ton to call it good fun The guesas enjoy
it and are pleased, and the hostess is
pleased because the guests are having
