ScaIp Patched with Rabbit Skin

The surgeons at the Hartford city hospital
are making curious experiment III their en-
beavers TO renew the scalp Of E0sanna Flynn
Her scalp was wholly torn off in Ceilings
vile factory last August. For months the en-
grating uponNthe Uranium of small pieces of
human skin has been in progress, the bits not
exceeding in siz. the dimensions of silver ;

ants became tired of contributing these bits

as the woman was SO careless as 10 hinder the
progress of the work by striking her head

have resorted to bits of rabbit skin instead of

and there is quite an island, so to speak, of
mingled human and rabbit skin ON the top of

The Three-volume Novel in England.

Inc Ihree-tOiume mover IN England.
Probably tradition is stronger in England
than in France; and tradition is all on the
side of three volumes and Mr.. Nude. The
three-volume novel will perhaps outlast the
crown, the empire, and even the game laws.
Again, we are not nearly so economical in
most things as the French; but we are far
more stingy about buying books. The idea
of expanding good money in a book seems
revolutionary to rich man. The late rec
tor of Lincoln said bitterly that 'many a man
with $500 year does not lay out ESQ on
books" Why many a man Of 5000, f15,-
900, or f5O.000 does not lay out ESQ yearly
on books. The newspaper suffices for the
men of household; the circulating library,
with its endless stream of novelties, for the
women. They only demand from a novel
one thing-novelty; and that the library can
give them.
To purchase rs many new romances as
filter through house from the library would
be to choke up all the place with books. These
habits and these reasons insure the perma-
hence Of the circulating system; which, again,
insure the permanence Of the three-yolume
system That plan prohibits amateur pur-
chase, and makes every one who does not
want an old novel get his novels from the
library. Again, the three volumes keep three
girls in n house occupied simultaneously; three
birds are killed with one stone Nor is the
publisher adverse to the method, for an obvi-
Gus reason Advertisement is one Of the
great expenses of the publisher. Now, three
one-vollIme novels cost exactly thrice as much
to advertise as a single three-volume novel.
and for each the publisher only gets, at most,
a third Of what the three-volume novel brings
him. This is probably a strong commercial
objection, from the publishers point of view,
to the one-yolume novelist. James Gazette.

VALUE OF HEALTH EXHIBITIONS.
Sanitary ReguIations-Death Rate o

Sanitary ReguIations-Death Rate of
Large Cities-Premature Mortality.
In view of the great success that attended
the health exhibition in London last year
it is proposed that one shall be held shortly in
New York city. Such expositions do meal
culable good in the attention they call to ny
gienic and sanitary matters. According to
DR. Billings of the United States army, over
10000 hives are lost yearly in this country
that might be saved, and at least 10000 per-
sons are sick who might live healthful and
happy lives, were sanitary regulations under
stood and enforced. The money lost by those
who are sick and die unnecessarily is rated at
about $50 000. 900 annually.
The death rate of the large cities is on tine
whole becoming less due to the institution Of
health boards and the partial sanitary eiuca-
ton of the community. It's IS E.:.t:cr
which appeals most directly to womer. :. Is
they who are the chief sufferers by iii heath
and the death of members Of their families,
One of the latest and best Boston notions is
the formation of a club of colege-bred women
to make a study of sanitary matters so far as
they relate to the household They have pub
isbed several valuable papers, and their la

construction of houses, and are opposed to
carpets because they become reservoirs of dirt
and dust Sleeping rooms should have light
as well as ventilation, and gas is objectiona-
bic in that it wastes the oxygen of the air
Similar clubs should be established in other
cities
The waste Of human life by premature
death is one of the most appalling facts in the
past history of the race. OF every million
children ushered into life nearly Id, 600 die in
the first year, 53 go follow in the next year,
5000 at the end of the third year. Each
year the number becomes reduced until the
thirteenth year, when about 1900 die. At
the end Of sixty years only $4,000 will be
alive out of the million; eighty years will see
$1,000 alive. Yet were sanitary laws under
stood this terrible waste of young life would
not continue The fearful mortality of the
children shows criminal neglect of duty on
the part Of fathers and mothers.-Demorest's

Your veil - thick, and none would know
The pretty face it quite obscures;
But if you foot it through the snow,
Distrust those little boots Of yours.
The tell-tale ground, a sparkling mold,
Says where they go and whence they came,
Lightly they touch its carpet cold,
And where they touch they sign your name.

How fair her face, and how content,
only know her face was fair
only know she came and went.

Whose cheek will press that rose-red cheekl
What lips those fresh young lips Of hers.

No One Anxious to Have il Re-

The theme of conversation Yesterday
on the streets and in the houses was the
earthquake, and every one nearly gave

ly every instance as much as such thing
usually do.
So far as learned no serious damage
was done by the shock in Florida, but the
easily. The shock was very heavy in
Atlanta and Charleston, and the newspa-
pers to day Will doubtless bring full in
teIligence as to the damage done at other
places. Here in Paiatka there was no
damage done aside from the fright given
our people, and the cracking of the plas-
| tering in several houses.
The chandeliers in several houses were
ratified after a lively fashion, and water
was shaken out of "a number of cisterns.
The chickens. were in many instances
frightened off their roosts, and many
now laughable incidents are talked of
where people rushed pell nell into the
streets, each one seeming to be for him
self. Some uied to pray, some ran and

do. One negro was frightened into
spasms. and another up the river shot
holes through his window, thinking that
his house had been attacked by burglars.
The writer was in Jack sonville ut the

excited OF frightened people. The shock
there was about as heavy as IN Palatka,
but it was accompanied by IA much
louder II, Use, which at first sounded like
an approaching cyclone, or the tumble
of many engines, and then breaking into
