Hirsch house passed away, leaving q
large fortune to his son, the present
Baron. How this fortune has been aug
faentcd by its present possessor is well
known to all students of contemporary
history. AS successful fnanciers the
Hirsch family had now been known for
three generations. The grandfather start
ed on a comparatively small scale at
Wurzburg, the son established a branch
house at Munich, the grandson founded
magnificent establishment at Vienna,
and to the fortune bequeathed to him by
his father, added large sums gradually
amasscd by his own industry and acu-
men. He might have added more had
he not preferred to enrich with his
bSanty thousands Of his oppressed CO.
rcligionists.
And if it be true that the golden i'm.
age discovered so opp ortunely in the
Franciscan cloister at Rottendorf was
the nucleus Of his fortune, surely no one
will deny that it might have fallen into
hands less pious, less conscientious and
less humane than those OF the simple He
brew tradesman, whose son was simple
benefactor of hundreds, and whose
grandson is the champion of thousands

Remarkable Skin Grating Operation.

OF the eighty-one gratis of flesh con-
tributed by three newspaper reporters
for the wound on Mrs. Jane SCOTS hip,
6fty have taken root aud have begun to
grow in a healthy manner. The physi-
clans in Manhattan Hospital are greatly
pleased with the result Of the operation.
The fifty sound gratis have changed
from their former white color to pink,
as though the little blood vessels had
spread out and taken root.
Mrs. Scott got her burns in singular
manner. About two years ago one OF
her sons, Charles H., thirty-ive years
old, while riding newly broken bronco
was thrown from the animal, landing on
his head, and received injuries which al
fected his mind. He finally became in
sane, and without any provocation one
evening in July last he clasped his arms
around his mothers waist, threw her to
the floor, and, running to the stove,
seized boiler CT boiling water, which
be dashed over her. Mrs. Scott did not
get over the burns, and on August 3 she
was taken to Manhattan Hospital as
paid patient.
There was burn on her left hip fully
eighteen inches long and ten inches
wide. 1t was covered with black
slough an inch thick, and d.. Bates said
it was a wonder she did not die of blood
poisoning. There was another large burn
beneath her right knee and a third on
her left ankle. The physicians now hope
she will recover.-New York Herald.

A Husbands Lesson.

A certain woman OF fashion, con.
spicuous in Washington society, whose
infrmity OF temper has given rise to very
interesting gossip occasionally, figures
in a quaint little story that is at present
going the rounds.
A short time ago she was CT tertaining
at a supper lady Of her acquaintance,
when it chanced there was placed upon
the table a small pot of chocolate. The
hostess Of the occasion was very fond OF
the beverage in question, partaking OF it
every evening of her life. Unfortunately.
the servant had neglected to make more
than the usual quantity, which was jus.
about sufficient for single cup. Ac.
cordingly, when the guest was asked if
she would have some, she hcsitated
moment, and said no. Whereupon her
entertainer fushel with anger at the
contretemps, and, rising from her seat,
deliberately poured the contents Of the
chocolate pot out Of the window.
This was embarrassing for the la ly en-
tertained, to say the least of it. OF
course, however, she pretended to take
no notice, merely gIancing slyly at her
host, who ma le the third person at the
repas-, to see il he evinced any consci.
business respecting the proceedings. But
he only smiled slightly beneath his
moustache and made no remark.
Presently he asked her il she would
have some chicken salad, OF which big
dish full male the principal feature
among the viands.
81 thank you, no, she replied, merely
because she had preference for some
thing else.
Immediately, as if it were quite mat
ter of course, the host picked up the
chicken salad and threw it dish and all
out through the window and into the
garden.
"It's a way VIC have here he re-
marked calmly.
Nobody said anything for quite five
minute: aftcrward, but the extreme
amiability exhibited by the hostess for
the rest of the evening led the visitor t,
imagine that the lesson thus given after
the manner of Petrucho was not without
certain domestic usefulness. -B1ston
