Six hundred is the estimate made of the
number of guests present and it is probable
that this was an underestimate, as the ball
room, parlors and halls were full of
people, many of them being non-residents.
There were many shadowy hooks
and convenient corners where pleas
ant conversation could be enjoyed
without molestation and these Opportuni-
ties were taken advantage of. At ~
o'clock an elaborate spread of refreshments
was laid in the ordinary, and for more than
an hour the guests thronged the room, do

choice ices. AT IL o'clock many of the
guests departed, but a large num-

Skin Grafung.g

A New York correspondent in a col
unn article Of small type, details inter
estingly an operation performed upon
one Jerry Larkin, who had been the VIC
tim Of a gas explosion. His body was
SO badly burned that his life was de-
SPARED of. but with infinite care every
burn was healed and thin film Of skin
induced to coat it, except the upper part
Of the right arm, which was liberated
All other treatment failing, the physi-
CLANS resortsd to the experiment of sup
plying the flesh which had sloughed of
with flesh from a Newfoundland dog.
The experiment has proven successful,
and the arm is gradually regaining the
strength which it seemed at one time
had forever left it with the sloughing
away Of the biceps muscles. Before the
operation was performed Jerry could
only raise his hand to his face with the
greatest difficulty, but can now raise
weights and continues to improve.

One OF the greatest schemes Of Des
Lssseps, the French engineer, was to
transform the desert Of Sahara into in
land seas. the level Of the soil being at
present eighty feet below the level Of
the Mediterranean. An alternative and
much better proposal, however, has been
made by Col Landas, who declares that
he can redeem ths desert and make it
bloom a. the rose. Col Landas has
actually commenced to work on these
lines, and he has Just presented to the
French Academy Of Science a report IN
which he states that he has driven an
srtesian well in the desert to the depth
OF three hundred feet, which is now dis
charging fresh water at the rate Of two
thousand gallons a minute, which suthces
for the irrigation Of five hundred hec-
tares. This area was a desert a year ago,
and is now a fertile and Well-sbOcked dis
trict. A second artesian well Is now be-
ing driven to extend this work Of ferti-
lizatiOn.

severe case Of ProlEpsus and Ulcera-

herself in an interesting condition. In
iUenced by foolish friends she attempted

After ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed In g most
alarming state and suffered terribly. I
gave her a Tablespoonful Of tie com
pound every hour for eight hours until
she fell asleep, she awoks much relieved
and evidently better. She continued

egg for every dozen they find, pay for
carrying the milk, a few cents a week
for washing dishes, or bringing in the
wood, or coal, or kindlings; ST. much for

their own calf along with the other cattle
how much more interest they viii

ways In which a child can earn money,
and that, too, without paying him for
the little kindnesses to the home people
either; and, then, he has an almost mex
Pressible feeling Of pride and independ-
enee when he buys something with his
own earnings. There is no better ser
want in the world than this same money
but to be Of most use, it must be rightly
managed, and only experience can teach
that lesson properly.

A police van driver Of Newark, n. J..
was sent to the jail one day recently to
bring an italian prisoner to the police
court to meet friends, who offered to bail
him out. The driver went to the jail
and got his man, but neglected to deliver
him to the court. Five hours later when
the prisoner was wanted by Justice
ROder, the driver was questioned. He
suddenly remembered that he had put
the van In the stable with the man
locked up inside. He said he forgot all
about him. When the van was opened
the italian was found sitting disconsO-
late in the corner. He didn't imagine
he had been abused. He seem to think
it was the regular New Jersey way Of
dealing with prisoners.

The common cause OF failure IN grow
ing potatoes is lack fof moisture at the
time the tubers are setting. In a we'll
cultivated piece on a clover sod PlOWed
under in ths spring, moisture will be
attracted to the soil from the decaying
sod. The loose sod holds considerable
air, which, as it cools, deposits moisture
just as it does on the outside Of a pitcher
Of water in hot weather. Too much
ridging Of the ground often makes pOta-
toes a failure, What hill there is should
be broad at the top and with the slight
est possible hollow between it and the
next. Weeds rob the potato plants, and
are Rore detrimental to this crop than
TO any other.

1t is well known that herbs cured In
the shade are better than those that are
sundried. 1t is the same with grass or
other fodder plants. But it is impOssi-
bic to make hay in the shade, and it is a
good deal of extra work to cock 1t up.
1t can, however, be thrown into wind
rows without extra work. A good plan
is to rake up the hay as soon as it is
thoroughly wilted-that is, while it is
In a moist, pliable conditiOn-and let it
