A Most Pathetic Picture.

The most pathetic picture of the streets
| know of is the children's window of a
great hospital that pass every day. The
Children's ward is on the first floor, not SO
high above the level of the sidewalk but
that one can see most Of the interior with
its prim little cots and its prim white
walls, on which a few colpred prints are
hung. Some of the little sufferers lie in
easy chairs at the vast windows looking
at the tall fence across the way and the
rear houses and the sky beyond with stead
fast eyes. Others, who can move about,
come and go and extend their salutations
to the people who pass.
1t is pretty sight to see their patient,
pallid features light up when the greeting
is returned. And TO tie credit of the
cynical town be it said that few pass the
place, from the newsbOy to the fat old
member posting to late breakfast at his
club on the corner, who have not a nod or
a wave of the hand for the children of
sorrow behind the plate glass.
Late at night the picture takes another
aspect. The window is deserted, some
dolls and toys and books, mayhap, still
littering the ledge. The lights are down
in the ward and the cots masquerade
among many shadows. These shadows
possess an odd pulsating movement, for
the draft in the big room fiickers the
lights little, so that you can readily
imagine the painful breathing of the little
slecpers to be visibly reflected on the
walls. In the dead stiffness of the de
serted street there is a strange fascination
about this vast dim room, so open to the
view and yet so fun Of the sorrowful myS-

hurled il to one side.

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
SEA" gets new Illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-pOOr appetite, disOrdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then a right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just As he did from the
frst-and so kept doing all along-until the
name of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell. Clearly between tine two. her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea Sometimes the name Is
varied. and it is called some other inc in
place Of quinine, but it is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey's Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen l tried them. They were a sue
cess from the first and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,

For d LONG TIME

1t was supposed that cutaneous Goa
metics could not be used without being
hurtful to the skin and this even now
is true of many preparations
But medical and chemical know
ledgeand experiments finally succeed
ed in producing an article, that, while
it is the most perfect aid to beauty,
acts upon the skin in the three-fold
capacity as a stimUiaRt, detergent
and ensOllient: 1. e., first, it pro-
notes the health and hue of the skin
by stimulating the circulation of the
blood in the minute vessels; second,
it softens and relaxes the texture OF
the skin, and makes it more elastic
and sensitive and, third, it removes
decayed particles that obstruct the
pores of the skin, and increases its
transparency, delicacy and beauty.
And this article, which has the re-
quired qualities of a perfectcompt pier
ion cosmetic, and the only one
which combines the two great deside-

Grating Frogs Flesh Upon a Man.

An interesting operation of flesh graft
ing, which was one Of the discoveries of
II. Paul Bert, has just been performed
by young French surgeon named DIR.
DubOusquet-Labor A workman had
his foot scorched by molten iron and the
skin was destroyed over n surface of about
eight inches by four. DR.. Dubousquet
took four strips Of flesh from the thigh of
a young man and four from frog and
transferrd 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 little strained, harder,
and produced irritation ON some points.
The patient has now been able to resume
his occupation. The result of the opera
toin is of great imp rtance 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 OF
wounds of any size, and the dissection of
strips is very painful.-Galignani's Mes

storm. made darker by the brightness Of the

Soni walking, although the drift Of hail

longer. But the storm had come and gone
and the party followed it down the old trail
toward Manitou. Coming to the point where
the road turns to give an unobstructed view
OF the plains below, the leader stopped with
the exclamation: Look at that"
Below him were the plains with Colorado
City and Colorado Springs in the distance and
Manitou in the foreground, but not as any
ono had ever seen them before Sweeping
over the wide extent of country visible from
this elevated point was the storm that had
left the mountain clad in crystals. Below it,
or beyond it, the extent of plain was one
great rainbow. The colorS, vivid, sharp and
brilliant. we're laid in magnificent belts across
the plain, so that what would have been a
