A French medical journal tells of a
remarkable surgical operation, per-
formed upon certain Joseph Moreau, a
soldier in the army of the North, whose
Eyes, nose, teeth and lower jaw and, in
deed, his whole face was shot away by a
shell in the battle of Bapaume, January,
1871. Although he was left on the field
for dead, he managed to stagger to a
neighboring village, where he was cared
for by the doctors. Later on one of the
most distinguished surgeons of the day
applied to the head, which was left al.
most without human semblance, wax
mask so cleverly adapted to the healthy
portion of the skin as to appear quite
continuous with it. This mask, as the
years have passed, has become firmly at.
tached to the Eoad, the skin having
grown around the edges, and has per-
initted the unfortunate wearer to appear
less an object of repulsion to his fellow
men.
Moreau has now got quite used to
breathing through the false nostrils, and
by the help of an artificial jaw worked
by portion of the original bone, he is
able to eat comfortably and masticate
The toughest kind of food.
His voice has regained its natural quail
i,y and the sense of smell has come back
to him with even more than natural
acuteness. OF course, he sees nothing
through the false eyes which look out
from his waxen features with CLASSY
stare, but it is long since he has acquired
the peace of mind with which blind men
are so often blessed, and in all the canton
Of Landredies, where he lives, there is
not happier man or one more fond of
telling and listening to good story than
he who is known as the Man With the
Wax Face" He lives modestly on his
pension, and adds to his resources by the
sale of little pamphlet giving a scien-
tific acc cunt of his wonderful cure.

In countries where the climate Is
balmy. everything conspires to breed in-
dolencs In mankind. Food grows wild.
house Is rarely needed and clothing ia
mere apology for civilized raiment. In
rubber-making, for instance, nature does
its own planting. cultivating, everything
save the gathering, and comes very
nearly doing that, as it needs only the
stroke of the machete to set the gum
trickling. The crop is a heavy one.
Twenty Indians will make forty thous-
md pounds of rubber in a season. A
lays work for an Indian is a path of
nne or two miles long in the forest. In
his path lie will probably find one hun
lred and fifty suitable trees, which, one
after another, he taps, dexterously cut
ting 80 as not to penetrate beyond the
lark. To 60 through the bark and not
touch the wood gives the best results,
snd Indian skill is intuitively cultivated
TO this end.
Several hours after tapping, he collects
the sap, and then comes the smoking
process, by which the white, milky sub
stance is converted into fine, tough In.
dia rubber. The quality depends upon
the care in making and the conditions in
gathering. Fine Para should have no

To Protect Elis Wares.

A peculiar thing about the sale OF
newspapers In New York and other large
American cities is the perfect trust the
newsman reposes in the public. More
often than not when you pick up a paper
from stand the owner will be out of
sight, am if you have not the exact
amount there are always enough pennies
left on the stand to make your own
change. This goes to prove that the
newsdealer is privileged character, and
is not regarded as legitimate prey by the
sneak thief, for no other vender coull
take suoh risks without being robbed
continually. In Paris the newsman does
not conduct his business in this simple
way on the contrary. he has had to in
vent ingenious methods to dispose of his
stock. ALI the trains and omnibuses
there have seats on top. These are for
second-class passengers, and are half tho
price of those inside. As the vendors
are not allowed to enter the omnibuses
they carry their stock on long poles, the
papers being on wires, on the principle
Of the letter-rack On the top of the
pole is attached a little cup. The vender
pokes his stock in the faces of the pas
sengers. who select the papers they wish
aud put the money into the cup.

A Funeral Ina Germany.

A German funeral procession impresses
an American as being rather curious
affair. 1t is invariably led by an elderly
woman, clad in black, who is hired to
carry lugubrious wreath. This anti.
quated female is frequently followed by
number of men also hired to carry
wreaths and other floral devices appro-
pirate to the solemn occasion. Then
comes the hearse, drawn by two or four
black horses. and driven by man wear.
ing flowing black robe and low, wide
brimmed black hat. Beside the hsarse
walk the pall-bearers, and behind the
hsarse come the mourners, all afoot and
all wearing black silk tiles.
Then follow the carriages, all empty,
for it is an imperative rule that none ex.
cept the drivers Of the vehicles shall ride
in the funeral procession; moreoXer, no
woman, save only the old woman who
precedes the hearse. can participate in
the procession. When the female rela-
tives and friends of the deceased wish to
see the burial, they go to the cemetery
by devious route aud return in ar
equally modest way. After the funeral,
the mourners ride home in the carriages.

began as follows:
II never shall forget an experience I
had in Colorado in the fall of 'S4 We
were expecting bunch of cattle up from
Texas, so one of my men and myself
started out to meet them and look them
over before they reached the ranch.
"There had been good many birds in
the country that fall, so took along the
old shotgun, hoping that might get a
crack at some of them. After we had
gotten out some distance, told my man

over the prairie from the north and right
toward me. They kept on coming, set.
tling down all the time, until they finally
lit on the bare ground about two hun.
bred yards from me. 1 saw that there
was something the matter with them, so
walked right up to them and let go into
the middle of the bunch. Well, you
ought to have seen the feathers fly; but
feathers were all that did fly, for when
the smoke cleared away saw, to my sur.
prise, the flock still sitting on the ground.
repeated the operation several times
with the same result, when finally il
struck me what was the matter. You
see, it was a cold day, and they had been
sitting in the water, and when they got
up to fly their wings froze, and they were
rendered helpless. Knowing this ]

shells; but when returned the sun had
come out and thawed their wings out, so

party. $50 will l." shouted all the rest

! Courage is a quality which in many
cases seems to spring into existence at the

men, who knew they were not brave,
rise in emergencies and prove them
selves to be heroic. But the most inter-
esting thing about this subject is that

OF two special cases l have a friend
whom l call brave. He has done two
acts alone in his life which prove his
courage. The first was the killing of a
mad dog, which he held with one hand
while he shot him with the other. This
same man was once crossing crowded
street in New York when he saw a child
fall directly in front of the feet of two
car horses. There was not the flash of
an eye in time to spare. His actions
seemed quicker than thought. With one
haud he caught the bit of horse and
with the other he brushed the boy ahead
and then aside from the track. He was
dragged several feet, but was not hurt
in any way. When he extricated him
self from between the horses he darted
into the crowd which had gathered and
hurried away to avoid the cheers which
we're given him. 1 saw this man at a
summer resort one year. He was lying
on the grass smoking, as calm and con-
tented man as ever was seen. Some
one cried to him that an ant had run up
his arm under his sleeve. He jumped to
his feet, as white as chalk, looked around
him helplessly and-fainted. Once when
was in San Francisco heard the rat
tie and rush of fire engine coming
bounding down hill. When it struck
n corner, where it turned, the driver,
with the reins still in his hands, was
hurled like a shot far ahead, falling
between his horses necks. He caught
at the tongue as he went swiftly down,
got it, drew himself up, crawled like a
monkey, with the horses at full run,
back to his seat, and a second later was
driving furiously up Market street.

found the reckless and daring driver un-
concernedly attending to his duties.

told him what had seen. "Yes," he
said, hes the best driver in the depart
