A man in Galveston, Texas, lost over
two inches of his left clavicle, or bone
joining the shoulder and breast bones, in
gunshot accident, and a local surgeon
decided to try to fill the gap with pieces
of bone taken from dogs. He cut
through their flesh to tho bone, from
which he clipped such pieces as he
wanted. Twenty or. thirty dogs were
thus mutilated and tortured. The man
suffered greatly, too. The flesh had
to be kept, by cutting and burning, from
healing over the wound during a whole
month, and every few days the ends of
the bone were built out with small pieces
of bone obtained from fresh and healthy
dogs A fair proportion of, these gratis
grew fast, and in that way, slowly and
laboriously, the space of more than two
inches was completely iilled in. The
patched clavicle is now in use, and about
as serviceable as its mate, though half an
inch shorter and hardly match in shape.

A Romance Of CITY Life.

In a New York letter to the Gin
tinnati Enquirer we find the follow
ing story. A queer thing occurred at
the Fourteenth Street Theatre on the
first night of the production of "Evan-
geline.' In the extravaganza there
are number of beautiful girls, and
among them is the daughter law of
a merchant of great prominence in
New York. Off the stage she is
sweet and delicate little creature, with
fine features, big eyes and graceful
manner. About two years ago she
married man who was supposed to
be great catch. He is the son and
heir of the merchant l have referred
to, and, though a hard drinker, is
thought in society to be decent sort
of fellow at heart. He turned out to
be sot; he came home nights in
beastly intoxication; he thrashed his
wife; she was forced from his home.
That she was not to blame is proved
by the fact that his father contributed
largely to her support after she had
left the son. He made many promises,
and she went back to him twice, but
each time found it impossible to stay
more than day or two. Meanwhile
her only relative and mother died
and the remittances Of her father-in-
law ceased. She tried needlework,
found it would not 60 and finally went
on the stage Finally she went to
John A. Mackay. the actor, a sort of
everybody's friend, and he put her in
the Evangeline Company on salary
of $l4 or SIG week. On the first
night she came on the stage in little
peasant dress, and though her trouble
within the past few years has made
her thin and slight she made a very
charming picture. She was very much
frightened and trembled visibly. Only
short time ago the father died, and
the son fell heir to an immense prop
erty. That night he occupied a box,
and stared persistently at his wife
whenever she was on the stage. He
was as white as sheet and seemed
thoroughly unnerved. 1t is said that
he has since promised reform, and
friends of his have gone to the wife
begging forgiveness. Notwithstand-
ing his money, however, she will have
nothing to do with him, for oddly
enough she has become stage-struck
with her short experience. and prefers
working for small salary as a chorus
girl to being the wife of a man of
wealth. Perhaps she is right after all
when one takes in consideration the
sort of man her husband is,

Captain Delaney, who has been the
accepted weather prophet in France ever
since he predicted the Jersey earthquake,
has just published his meteorological
alamac for 1886, and unless he is all
wrong in his calculations, next year
promises to be an "annee terrible" and
that not merely from the meteorological,
but also from the political point ofview.
For, according to NJ. Delaunev. there is
an intimate connection between cosmic
and political disturbances: a theory
sufficiently indicated in the name
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS he has
given to this branch of his science. He
confidentially predicts several uncom-
monty destructive earthquakes in the
course of next year. Our planet is, he
as ascertained, exceptionally troubled
in this way every twenty-eight
years; and the year 1886 COM
pletes one of these cycles.
He further expects that Saturn will
make US present of portion of his
ring in the shape of comet, which will
probably outshine the great comet of
1858. The subterranean disturbance
will continue for some nine months out
of the twelve. May will be the worst
month of the twelve, the period of max
imum perturbation being the first three
days of that once merry month.
