He DIDN'T Strike nnck.

There is n good story told of n Wesleyan
student, one of the boats crew that fin
ished second in n flotilla of six at Sara
toga some years g He was a slim,
good looking fellow, without n trace of
a pedant in his makeup. He became en-
amored of the daughter of a well to dc
farmer, who lived not far from the lake.
The farmer objected to him on general
principles, and tried to break off the ac-
-quaintanceship; he did not want a minis
ter for a son-in-law, and the young man
seemed too light WASTED for a rough bat
night he found the pair of lovers seated
on the sofa, and at once proceeded to take
off his coat.
"If your father raises his hand against
me, | shall not strike back, but l will pull
his nose" whispered the Lothario.
Now, medical men pronounce the nose
n most delicate and sensitive organ, and
anything beyond gentle d~alliancc with it
is provocative of great pain. But the old
gentleman sailed in and dragging the
student lover to the doorsill he deposited
several pounds of kicking power under
his coat tails. This wa too much, and
true to his word the young athlete seized
the old mans nose twixt his fingers and
wrung it heartily. In this unexpected
turn of affairs the t~heologian was revealed
in a new light.
'Let gol let gol she's yoursl' yelled
the panied but discreet father. "You
shall marry her at the earliest opportu-
nifty"
And he dld.-Alfred Trumble in New

Surgeons are familiar with skin graft
Ing in the human subject, but it is rather
a novel procedure to substitute the skin
of birds and poultry for ships from the
PATIENTS w healthy skin. Wiesmann
twice transplanted skin from pigeon TO
pigeon with success, and three times from
fowl to fowl Under the title of ''Derme-
pcnthesis," Mr.. q. f. Master
man has published some interesting cases,
in which he had succeeded in utilizing the
skin of young wild rabbits for the purpose
of bringing about the ciCa.riZation of raw
and ulcerating surfaces. Several Others
have repeated and varied Wiesmann's eX-
]periIHents, but before Mr.. Masterman
none OF them seems to nave been enter
prising enough to spare their patients the
disagrceable shipping incidental to the
operation as it is usually practiced.
At about the same time DIR. Redard
communicated to the Paris Academy of
Medicine some observations of his own
with animal gratis on wounds in human
beings. III a case of severe burn of the
scalp Of eight months standing, in n
child 2 years of age, he obtained n rapid
cicatrization by means Of gratis from n
fowl. lie first tried gratis of frogs skin,
but as these proved to be repulsive to pa
tients and did not give very good results,
he substituted others from the fowl, and
ILe NOuuui winch HleaslTeu Jhree ihCnes
by two and a half, had completely healed
in two months. He had been equally
successful in other INT subsequent cases.
He takes the skin from beneath the wing
of n chicken, carefully securing the subja-
cent cellular tissue, but avoiding hdipose
tissue. The transplanted pieces varied
from n sixth to a third of an inch in size,
and they were maintained in position by
means Of n little cotton wool and iodo-
form gauze. The kin of birds and fowls
has the advantage of being supple, deli
cate and vascular; it adapts itself readily
to the surface of the wound, and adheres
without undergoing absorption.-British

AS to replicas and copies, there is an
artist trained by Ruskin to initiate Turner
with such admirable fidelity that now,
says Mr.. Ruskin, he is forced to sign
these drawings with his own name and
TINT Of their producer, to prevent their
being passed off, as they very well might
be, for real vignettes Of the master. Sir
Joshua Reynolds was once so far de-
ceived by n study Of n child with n dog as
to imagine it his own work, and it was
really Il copy. After this who shall
boast of. never being deceived? On
another occasion Reynolds exhibited
to VanlOo, whose conceit of his
own Judgment was absolute, a GER
tain Rembrandt, which the sagacious
critic pronounced at once to be inimitable
Doubtless it was so, for it was painted by
Reynolds himself. Reinagle, an English
artist, reproduced Dutch and Flemish
painters with such surprising fidelity, thai
his work may be beheld in famous gal
leries under notable names. Goltzius, thu
engraver, sold some of his prints for AL
bert Durer's at high prices, and it is wei
known that Allori's replica of Correggio'!

At the time of that great spiritual and
moral a~FTtkHhing of the youth of Russia,
WHICH resulted in the so called movement
TO thu people" between the years 1870
and 1915, it was IA common thing for a
young man to emancipate a young woman
from the patriarchal tyranny and the
crampcd life OF a Russian provincial
household by contracting with her what
was called n Fictitious marriage" The
ceremony was not fictitious in the sense
Of illegality-it was, on the contrary. a
valid and binding tie-but the contracting
parties did not live together and never
expected to do so. The young man vol
UNFAIRLY sacrificed his domestic future,
and all his anticipations of home and fam
lily, for the sake of liberating some young
girl from the despotic power of the
head of her household, and giving
her an opportunity to educate herself
and to make herself Useful to ''the
people and the fatherland.n Hundreds
Of such marriages were contracted in all
parts of Russia between 1870 and 1875,
and in many cases the young men had
never seen, previous to marriage, the
young women to whom they bound them
selves, and knew of their existence only
through mutual friends.
Sometimes fictitious husbands met and
fell in love with their wives in prison or
in exile many years after their nominal
union; but in most cases their respect
i've fields of activity were widely sepa-
rated, and they remained strangers. The
purpose of these fictitious marriages was
n pure and nobl one, but the method
adopted TO carry out that purpose was in
the highest degree quiXotic and imprac
ticable, and it was ultimately abandoned.

Here is a case that happened out west a
few years since. The graduating class in
one Of our medical colleges was advised
at the last by the old professor never to
acknowledge ignorance, but always, when
called, to give some treatment. One of
the class settled in a western town, and
after some years the old professor, in
travelling, got n piece of bone in his throat
in this same town, and the young doctor
being called, failed by every means in his
power TO dislodge the obstruction, and
h having recognized the old professor,
stripped him and rubbed him with lard.
This so amused the old professor that he
could not restrain a hearty laugh, which
~dislodged the bone, and he asked the doc
tor, "Why in thunder did you grease
mel' p
The reply was, "You told me when 1
was about to graduate always to do some
thing, so l creased you, not knowing
what else to do. "-Williamsport Sun and

Tears of "schweitzer Kase."

Next in popularity with all classes of
people is the ordinary Swiss cheese, more
familiarly Known as "Schweitzer kase. ."
Wherever there is Swiss or Germans there
is also Schweitzer kase and lager beer.
No free lunch counter is fully equipped
without its slices Of rye bread aud Swiss
cheese. This cheese is very compact ex-
cept for the numerous cavities scattered
throughout it, varying in size from an
eighth of an inch to a full inch in diane
ter. When the cheese is of the best quail
ity a drop of water, sparkling and as clear
as crystal, will be found In each cavity.
The Germans call these drops of water

waiter they usually say: Bring me some

FISHING FOR TROUT.
no Necessary outht-Skm Required to
Make a Lucky Fisherman.

~ ~ 1N,NN
Trout fishing is of two kinds-hait fish
ng with earth worms in the ponds and
tream and the casting Of artificial flies on
he surface of the water. Bait fishing is
he first in order. 1t is less expensive
nd requires less skill and d~eliCaCy of
handling than fly fishing. During c
height of the eason there are times when,
or some un]accountable reason, trout will
lot rise to the most tempting fly, but will
AXE a worm deity dropped before its
lose.
A rod should be fourteen feet long,
bout seven ounces in weight, and so
ouGh, strong and elastic as to bend al
most double without breaking. A good
eel, fitted TO it, and a line of silk or linen,
With smells and hooks, a box of bait, a
mixer on each smell heavy enough to pre-
eut the current of swift streams from
ihirring the hook about toe fast, and a
reel to carry the FISH in completes the
uuipment. In trout fishing, as in violin
laying, more depends upon skill than
nything else. The musician can delight
is hearers with a fairly good instrument
lore han can the tyro with a Stradi-
arius, and the skillful disciple of Izaak
Walton can catch more trout with a com
ION rod and self made flies h the
ovice car with the most expensive par
phernalia.
When a sinker is used in bait fishing,
; it m be, 1t should be fastened so
nat the loop in the gut or smell of the
ook is above it. The hook should be
bout n foot below the sinker. Common
lrth worms are the best, and should be
ut on by running the hook through and
trough them, care being taken to cover
implicitly the barb and the shaft.
