Eaybe Land.

Beyond where the marshes are dark and
wide
Is a ladder of rcd and gold,
Where the sun has sunk in the shifting
tide
OF the clouds that the night elves mold
1t leads to the portals OF Maybe Land,
Whose castles and groves we see,
On vapor bank e'er the mists expand,
To darken the wind-swept lea.
IT'S there that our wishes are all made
true,
Where frowns may not mar the brow,
Where storms never mutter the whole
year through,
Where Then is transformed to Now,
And only the dreamer who idly halts
With pencil and brush in hand,
Can travel the path to the mystic vaults,
And the treasures of Maybe Land
-Philander johnson in Washington Post.

II the skeleton seems favorable the

until the union is made. In eighty days
the two pieces OF flesh usually Join.
Then it 10 only question of few
weeks to allow everything to heal. when
the patient may have much better nose
than before.
When the flesh on the forehead is not
acceptable rs covering to the skeleton
of the nose, other portions of the body
must be used. Sometimes the cheeks
are rcquisitioned. Tho next best sub.
sttute is the middle joint of the second
finger. The hand is fastened to the
face. with the second finger Joined to
the nose. Then the flesh from that
finger is carefully removed from the base
up to the first joint. This is folded
down over the bone and finger: hand
and all arc kept in that position until
the union has taken place. Sometimes
Vt is necessary to place the hand and
nose in plaster -of-paris case to prevent
the union from being disturbed. This
OF course interferes with the breathing
OF the patient. and to guard against suf-
location ae,a is cut in the windpipe in
the neck to allow free breathing.
When neither the forehead nor the
fingers are available for the required
covering the feshy part of the patients
forearm is utilized. The hand is strapped
on the top Of the head In such position
that the front Of the arm rests over tho
site Of the nose. Then a strip of flesh
as large as is required is cut upward and
turned down over the bones. The arm
is kept in this way until the union has
been effected.
OF course it is extremely painful to
the patient, but man or woman who
has lost the nose will do nything to get
another.
A peculiar feature OF Dr. Kelly's sur.
gical operations on the face is that in
the great majority of cases men are the
patients. Women. he said, after a GER
tain age. are not so dissatisfied about
Disagreement while men of any age will
do anything to be renovated.
Not long ago well-known man about
town came to him. The caller, who was
a handsomely built man. said that he
was greatly troubled about his large
feet. which were so wide that he could
not wear narrow shoes.
He wanted removed large piece from
the outside of each foot so that he could
wear narrow shoes. DR.. Kelly refused
to operate, saying that the man would
be ruined forever. He explained tina,
the human foot is tripod. Its three
standards are the heel, the ball of the
great toe. and the base of the little toe.
1t the operation had been performed as
the young man wished the tripod would
have been destroyed and the feet so in
jured that it would have been impossi-
BILE for the man to stand or walk steadily

When doing q kind act how seldom
one stops to think what the results
may be. Yet the simplest act of
kindness not infrequently proves to be
the foundation stone Of high and noble
lives. The writer calls to mind An
instance where very simple act of
kindness proved to be of lasting benefit
to the receiver. One rainy SUNDAY
years ago little girl was WANDERING
listlessly about n poorly furnished

and help shorten long and drearv

she stepped to a window and began
counting the raindrops as they fell on

thought the child looked lonely. When
the rain ceased for few moments she
went into her beautiful grounds and

being an ardent lover of flowers an

than older people would value costlier
gifts. and all the remainder of that
gloomy and cherries day the cluster
OF purple flowers was COM
fort and a pleasure to her. To
her the delicate construction of
each tiny petal was beautiful and
interesting study. While thus engaged
it occurred to her that painting and
faithfully portraying flowers must be a
very beautiful occupation. With the
thought came great longing to be-

be an artist?" she said. Taking pen
Gil and paper she seated herself before

An Inheritance From the Druids.

The legend OF the mistletoe is an in.
heritance from the religion OF the
Druids. The cathedral arches under
which the Cells worshipped were the
spreading branches OF the oak. the
roof dense foliage of greenery. and
the mistletoe, the mystical parasite of
the tree, was symbol full of mean
ing, for it was believed to renew its
life by some agency differing from
that which propagated all other
plants. and to exist by divine power.
Here. under the oak, the favorite tree
OF the Celtic sun-god, at the period OF
the winter-solstlce, priests and people
sacrificed white bulls and human vic
time. The mistletoe was gathered
and dispensed in small sprays. to be
hung by tho worshippers over their
doors as amulets against evil and pro-
