Did Not Need Clutches.

A wealthy lady of this city met with
an accident last winter by having one OF
her legs broken. 1t was set, but while
in the process of healing she bought a
pair of crutches to aid her locomotion.
The habit of using them grew upon her
until she felt unable to walk steadily
without them. One day last week she
hmped along block on her crutches tc
visit neighbor, and while doing so met
rugged and decrepit specimen who
had lost a leg and was hobbling along
on two time-worn stills. Her SYM
pathy was stirred up. She stood erect
for a moment, grasped her costly
crutches in one hand, asked the man il
he would take them, gave them to him
on the spot, and walked off with perfect
ease, having thus learned for the first
time since she broke her leg that she
had no need of artificial aid in pedes.

A HAWAIIAN convict who was con
demned to death had his life spared on
condition that ho should be inoeulatod
with leprosy by way of experiment The
incubation took place three years ago,
and the unfortunate man, who would
surely have done better to go to the
scallold, is now tubercular leper. The
experiment was perhaps hardly necessn-
~. The fact that Father Damien has
become leper since he went to reside
in settlement of lepers is surely proof
enough that the disease is contagious.
Now, however, there is no longer room
for any doubt which may have been felt
upon the matter at one time.

Finding Old Manuscripts.

The manuscripts of some of our most
highly priced works of literature were
discovered by the merest accidents. In
a dungeon in the monastery of ST. Gall,
Poggio found corroded with damp and
covered with filth, the great works of
Quintilian. In Westphalia a monk
stumbled accidentally upon the only
manuscript of Tacitus. The poems of
Propertius, one of the most vigorous
and original of the Russian poets, We're
found under the casks in wine cellar.
In few months the manuscripts would
have crumbled to pieces and become
illegible. Parts of Homer have come to
light in the most extraordinary way.
A considerable portion of the Had. for
instance, was found in the hand of
mummy. The best of the Greek ro-
mances, the ~Ethiopic" of Heliodorus.
which is such favorite with Mr..
Browning, was rescued by a common
soldier, who found it kicking about in
the streets of town in Hungary. To
turn, however to more modern times,
every one knows how Sir Robert Cotton
rescued the original manuscript of
Magma Charta from the the hands of
common tailor, who was cutting it up
into measures. london Spectator.

A human-hair market is located at
Morians, in the department of the Lower
Pyrennees, and on alternately Fridays
hundreds of hair-dressers repair to the
little place to buy the hair of the young
peasant girls. The dealers wander up
and down the long, narrow street of the
town each with huge pair of bright
shears hanging from black leather strap
around his waist. while the young girls
who wish to part with their hair stand
about in the doorways. The transaction
is carried on in the best room of the
house. The hair is let down, the tresses
combed out, and the dealer names the
price. This varies from three to twenty
francs. If bargain is struck the
dealer lays the money in the open palm
of the seller, applies his shears, and in a
minute the long tresses fall on the floor.
The purchaser rolls up the tresses,
places them in paper and thrusts them
into his pocket. OF course, a maiden
can rarely see her fallen tresses disap-
pear into the dealers pocket without
crying. But she consoles herself with
the thought that the hair will grow
again and by looking at the money in
her hand. Gdiignani's Messenger.

A nrronr comes from BaLu. the crea,

A REPORT comes from Baku, the great
shipping port of the Russian oil region
on the Caspian Sea, that the oil there is
about exhausted. Recent behring's fail
to bring up petroleum, but only afford
water. The flow OF oil in the Baku dis
trict has been known from time imme-
mortal and for abundance has long been
unparalleled. Natural oil springs have
been pouring out their treasures for cen
turtles covering large areas of the Caspian
with petroleum, which, being often igni-
ted, would convert that sea into vast
expanse of flame. This Russian oil has
been almost the only competitor of the
American article, and If the story of its
exhaustion be true then it must enhance
largely the value of the American oil in
terests. The indications are that petro-
cum is extensively distributed under our
continent, and there is no reason to fear
any diminution of the available deposits
in any brief period.
