"A MAN in Galveston, Texas,

A MAN in Galveston, Texas,
lost over two inches of his left cla-
vicle, or hone joining the shoulder
and breast bones, in gun shot ac-
cident. and a local surgeon decided
to try to fill the gap with pieces of
bone taken from dogs. He cut
through their flesh to the bone, from
which he clipped such pieces as he
wanted. Twenty or thirty dogs
were thus mntilated and tortured.
The man suffered greatly, too. YNe
flesh had to be kept, by cutting
and burning, from healing over the
wound during whole month, and
every few days the ends ofthe bone
we're built out with small pieces OF
bone obtained from fresh and heal
thy dogs. A fair proportion c"
these gratis grew fast, and in that
way, sslowly end laborious'y, the
space of more than two inches was
completely filled in. The patched
clavicle is now in use, and about as
serviceahle as it's mate, though half
an inch shorter and hardly a match

A Spiders Telephone.

While gentleman was watching
some spiders it occurred to him to try
what effect tuning-fork would have on
the insects. He suspected that they
would regard the sound just as they
were in the habit of regarding the sound
made by fly. And sure enough they
did. He selected large, ugly spider
that had been feasting on flies for two
months. The spider was ut one edge of
its web. Sounding the fork, he touched
a thread at the other side of the web,
and watched the result. Mr.. Spider had
the buzzing sound conveyed to him
over his telephone wires, but how was
he to know on which particular wire
the sound was travelling? He ran to
the center of the web very quickly, and
felt all around until he touched the
thread against the other end of which
the fork was sounding; then taking an
other thread along, just as man would
take an extra piece of rope, he ran out
to the fork and sprang upon it. Then
he retreated a little way and looked at
the fork. He was puzzled. He had ex-
pected to find buzzing fly. He got on
the fork again and danced with delight.
He had caught the sound of the fly, and
it was music to him. 1t is said that
spiders are so fond of music that they
will stop their spinning to listen, and a
man once said that when he retired to
his room for quiet before dinner and
played the flute, large spiders would
come onto the table and remain quite
still, running away as fast as their legs
could carry them directly he had fin.
ished.

Anecdotes of Mrs. Stowe.

Miss Catherine +. Beecher, in the last
years of her life, was pleased to dwell on
the renown of her more gifted sister,
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. She re-
lated the following anecdotes of her:
Mrs. Stowe had agreed to give lecture
in Jacksonville, Fla, for some charity.
The morning of the day it was to be
delivered she was working in her gar
den several miles from that city when
suddenly remembering her engagement
she hailed q farmer driving to town
with load of vegetables, and went on
her way in n calico dress and hands
soiled with her occupation. Once in
the city, she asked permission at hotel
to make her toilet before going to the
lecture-room. She was informed that
there was but one vacant room, and
that was for Mrs. Stowe Her assever-
ations that she was the person in ques-
ton had to be verified before she obtain
ed her request. When Mrs. Stowe was
in England Queen Victoria sent her
word that on certain day she would
be pleased TO see the author of Uncle
Toms Cabin" Mrs Stowe replied
that she had an engagement for that
day. The queen would see her, and
sent n lady-in-waiting IA personal
friend of Mrs Stowe-to make the
necessary arrangement for IN obserya-
ton. There was to be pageant of
some kind that day, in which the queen
would take part, passing the hotel
where Mrs. Stowe was residing, and
the royal messenger had agreed to place.
her hand on the authors left shoulder
to distinguish her from those with her
on the balcony as the procession passed.
So Queen Victoria and the distin-
guished American gazed at each other
for few moments in silent recognition,
but Mrs. Stowe was not pleased that
she was outwitted. - Cor, AeW York
Tribune.
