AN OLD MAIDS TRAGEDY,
The Cruel Awakening which Awaited Loving
Woman

The Cruel AwakSntng Which Awaited Loving
Woman.
San Francisco Chronicle.
l know an old maid who had the
last twenty-five years OF her life en-
FILTERED by singular disappointment.
She had loved. Inever knew an old
maid who hadn't. He had gone away
to distant land and sworn an oath
that he would never marry. Her
father had kicked him out of the
house; that was really what had sep
arated them. She wasn't to blame,
except that her love for him had kept
him there until the old man caught up
with him, to speak He swore that
he would always be true to her, that
he couldn't dream of marrying
ANYBODY else, and all that
sort of thing you know. Just
what you've said yourself frequently.
She was not allowed to correspond
with him until she was old enough not
to want TO. She cherished the dream
and loved him mainly because no
other man tried to dispel it. Years
had passed, and one day she got a let.

and the tears came to her eyes as she
looked at the dear old handwriting.
He was coming home-would arrive
on certain date. There came fiut-,
ter at her heart. She opened an
cid camphorwood trunk he had
senu her from Japan years and years
before, and she took out bundle
of old, faded letters One by one
she opened and read them. Out of
their worn pages fell the petals of dead,
dried roses, pale colorless violets, lit
tie bits of maiden-hair fern, flowers
that might have been anything to
eyes that had not seen them in their
bloom, but that were precious with
associations. All, how the years
have passed from her memory as she
looked upon those dim-shadowed mes
sages from the past. Gray-haired,
fond grandmother, heart and soul
wrapped In the soul of your dear pet
daughter, go up to that little room
and open that old, old covered box

But let us go back to the oia maid.
She waited with impatience for the
day to come when she should be unit
ed to her old sweetheart. No cruel
father with hob-nailed boot could
come between her and her love now.
The DAY came, but he did not. She
thoughr he'd go to hotel. She did
not want to be seen asking for him,
so she called the boy and asked him
to copy the names of the arrivals that
day. She was walking up and down
the floor until he came back. He re-
turned and handed her card which
read:
"Mr.--, wife, five children, and
three Chinese servants, from Hong
Kong"

Grating Frogs Flesh Upon a
Man.
From Galignanrs Messenger.

From Galignani's Messenger.
An interesting operation OF flesh
grating, which was one of the discov-
cries of NJ. Paul Bert, has Just been per-
formed by a young French surgeon,
named DR., Dubousquet-Lab A
workman had his foot scorched by
molten iron, and the skin was de
stroyed over a surface of about eight
inches by four. DIR. Dubousquet took
four strips OF flesh from the thigh OF a
young man and four from a frog and
transferred them to the wound. By
great care the wounds healed in few
days.
The cicatrice obtained by the frogs
skin was soft, elastic and inodorous;
that from human flesh was a little
STRAINED. harder, and produced irrita-
ton on some points. Thepatient has
now been able to resume his occupa-
ton. The result OF the operation Is
OF great Importance in showing the
superiority Of frog skin, while on the
other hand human flesh is not always
to be had in sufficient quantities for
burns or wounds OF any size, and the
dissection OF strips Is very painful.
