A MAN WITH THREE LEGS.
A Bavariam Who Exhibits a Strange
Freak of Nature.

A Hawaiian Who Exhibits Strange
Freak of Nature.
In a room in the Park House, Wetlnes-
dav afternoon, a Bayarian, thirty-three
years of age, named George Lippert.
presented himself for examination and
inspection to number of physicians
and surgeons. Mr.. Lippert is known
and accurately described as the three
legged man He has two legs which
reach the ground and one that is turned
up behind him, the latter originally
placed in that position by Mr.. Lippert
himself. who was sensitive about his
deformity and desired to conceal it. In
fact he does conceal it SO well that its
presence can not be guessed as he walks
along the street. His left leg is per-
feet. except that it has six toes. Where
the right leg should be there are two
legs growing side by side and covered
by the same skin as far as the knee, or
very near that point. There are two
thigh bones, two ball and socket joints
and different sets of muscles. and the
motion of one leg is entirely independ-
ent of the other. Each of these legs.
which may be called the second and
third legs, has separate knee-joint
and from the knee they are entirely
separate from each other. The second
leg below the knee has but one bone.
and this ends in bony knob with three
toes attached to it. 1t is this leg that
he uses in walking, the termination be-
ing protected by padded cup made to
| fit it. The third leg has all the bones
and muscles to be found in the leg of
any ordinary man, but at the foot is
| twisted in a most extraordinary man
ner. On this foot there are six toes.
which all move as Mr.. Lippert wills.
This leg. though not the one used in
walking, is. nevertheless, the proper
right leg. Until Mr.. Lippert was six
1 teen years of age he used all three legs
in walking, and each had its own inde-
/ pendent motion, but he could not stand
| the remarks his appearance drew forth.
/ and the older he became the more sen
/ sitive he grew, and finally he strapped
the outside leg mp behind him in such q
way that it could not be remarked. He
naturally thought the outside leg was
the superfluous one. when IN reality The
extra one was in the center. Tightly
strapped up in the way described, thu
muscles became rigid and contracted
in such way that it is impossible now
Ito straighten this leg. Another singular
thing about this third leg is that the toe
4 nails grow under the foot and not as II
perfect foot. Mr.. Lippert has three
brothers and three sisters. all perfectl,
formed: his father and mother are il
no way remarkable. and there is M
record in his familyof the birth Of twins
He is another living illustration of th'
, peculiar method in which nature some
i times works. and no theory yet ad
vanced satisfactorily accounts FOR nj
; strange deformity. Finding his extr'
!. leg a serious inconvenience to him i
nearly all the walks of life. he finall.
: overcome his modesty and consented t
j exhibit himself - Boston Herald.

QuiNINE.
i Great Demand for the Drug-The Conn
petition Between Foreign and Domestic
Manufacturers.


i Great Demand for the Drug-The Conn
petition Between Foreign and Domestic
Manufacturers.
The market for quinine has recovered
very materially from the depressing
effect of the recent sharp competition
between foreign and domestic manufac-
turers, and the result is that there is
now greater demand for the article in
this country than was ever before known
at this season of the year. Under the
influence of the cutting process intro
duced by Mr. Boehringer. the price Of
quinine in this country was forced
down to eighty-three cents an ounce,
with five cents off for cash, leaving
the minimum cost to, the wholesale
dealers seventy cents This
was the lowest price ever reached. the
next lowest being in 1860, when qllinine
was sold for short time at S1.l24 an
ounce, but it quickly recovered, ard q
fair average price since that time has
been cons dered to be from 81 to -. .25.
Ernst Boehringer, of the great manu-
featuring firm of Mannheim. sailed for
Germany on December 10. He told an
intimate friend that he had made con-
tracts during his stay in this country
for the sale of from fifty thousand to
sixty thousand ounces of German quiz
nine. most of it for January and Febru-
ary delivery. and most of it at the lowest
price. seyenty-eight cents The depart
IRE of MIR. Boehringer was the signal
for an increase in the price of the
American article, which had been re-
foreign manufacturer On Thursday
last. the day after Mr.. Boehringer
sailed, Powers & Weightman. one of
the largest manufacturers of the drug
in this country, advanced the price of
their article from ninety to ninety-five
cents an ounce. On Monday the price
was again raised to $l.05. and at that
figure it was stationary yesterday, and
Powers 4 Weightman were By no
means anxious TO secure orders ut the
price. Speaking of the rise, a gentle
man who was for wears identified with
], the manufacture of German quinine
said yesterday: The price of the raw
! material has advance in Loldon twenty
per cent The owners of the bark have
been complaining for long time that
they did not get high enough prices to
pay them for raising if. Now they are
taking advantage of the necessities OF
the Mannheim firm. which has these
large contracts on its hand. and are
putting up the price of raw material.
The immediate result of the advance in
the price has been the creation for an
extraordinary demand for the drug.
While it was at its lowest point nobody
wanted it. Now everybody is running
after it spectators. dealers. ami con
sumers but the demand is undoubtcd

Youthful rapture rides with him.
He has vanished from their ken;
Gone from counsel and reproof:
Out into the world of men,
From the desolated roof
Joy wi h him has fed away;
And a strange funereai gloom
Fails upon aHacant day,
Fills his empty, silent room.
Youth is thoughtless, not unkind;

How TO BURN CoAI

How TO BURN Coal.
AS winter is upon us, aud as much
fuel is wasted in the manner of re-
plenishing coal fires, both in fur
naces and CRATES, it would be well
to try the following rule, copied from
an exchange:
"They should be fed with a little
coal at a time, and often. But SER
wants, to save time and trouble, put
on great deal at once, the first re-
suit being that almost ali the heat
is absorbed by tie newly put on
coal, which does not give out heat
until it becomes red~hot. Hence,
for awhile the room is cold, but
when it becomes aglow the heat is
insufferablc. The time to replenish
a fire is as soon as the Goals begin
to show ashes on their surface; then
put on merely enough to show a
layer of black coal on the red. This
will soon kindle, and as. there is
much of it, an excess of heat will
not be given out. Many also put
out the fire by stirring the CRATE us
soon as fresh coal is put on, thus
leaving all heat in the ashes, when
it should be sent to the new supply
of coal. The time to stir the fire is
just when the new coal is well kim
died. This method of managing a
coal fire is troublesome, but it saves
fuel, gives more uniform heat, and
prevents the discomfort of alterna,
ton of heat and cold above referred
to.
