He Wants New Arms.

Theodore Lee, the armless newsdealer,
who went East recently with vague idea
that he could get arms grated on to his
stumps has been heard from. He has
been inquiring among specialists regard
ing his case, and he finds that he may
vet secure arms. First, the arms that are
to be grated on to his stumps must be
taken from healthful man or woman,
ana the hope is held out to Mr. Lee that
he may find some person, condemned to
be hanged, for instance, who would for
$1,000, say, to be given to relatives or
charity, allow an arm to be amputated
for grating purposes. Mr.. Lee has, in
substance been informed that the splice
would have to made just above the elbow
Joint.
When Mr.. Lee has found person who
will submit to the operation they will
have to be brought together in such a
position as to permit of the arms of both
which are to be operated upon being
placed in plaster of paris casts, so that
they cannot be moved. Then it is pro
posed to cut the back part of both the
arms, also cutting through the bone
arm that is TO be grated on TO Mr.. Lee
stump, or that portion of it that is cut
away at the first operation, is to be ad-
justed and fastened to the stump and
allowed to remain until it heals and there
is evidence of circulation between the
stump and the part that is grated on.
The second operation will be the cutting
Of the remainder of the inside portion OF
the arm, together with the artery and
the nerve. This operation, it is propo-
sed. however, is not to be undertakes
until the surgeons are satisfied that the
circulation through the part of the arm
already grated on is sufficient to nour.
ish aud support the new forearm.-ISt.

Nebuchadnezzar's Hanging Gardens.

The changing gardens of Babylon"
were built by Nebuchadnezzar to gratify
his wife, Amyitis, native of Media,
who longed for something in this flat
country TO remind her of her mountain
home. They consisted of an artificial
mountain, 400 feet on each side, rising
by successive terraces, to a length which
overtopped the walls of the city. The
terraces themselves were formed of a
succession of piers, the tops of which
were covered by flat stones sixteen feet
long and four feet wide. Upon these
were spread beds of mating; then a
thick layer of bitumen, covered with
sheets of lead. Upon this solid pave
ment earth was heaped, some of the piles
being hollow so as to afford depth for
the roots of the largest trees. Water
was drawn from the river SO as TO irri-
gate these gardens which thus presented
to the eye the appearance of mountain
clothed in vcrdure. = New Orleans

Sin Eating.

A singular custom was wont
TO prevail at Gainsborough, OF dis.
tributiDg penny loaves on the occasion
Of funeral to whosoever might demand
them Prior 10 the Reformation, Il was
a common practice for our ancestors TO
direct in their wills that does OF bread
and other aims should be given the poor
at their funerals; by this they performed
double act-relieving the corporal
wants Of the poor, and securing their
prayers for the repose of their own souls.
In some parts Of Yorkshire and else
where il is still customary 10 send to
friends Immediately after death paper
bag Of biscuits, and card with the
name, etc, of the deceased; this would
not appear to be connected with dole
to purchase prayers, and may possibly
find an origin in, and be the last remains
Of, the ancient ceremonial OF the pagan
burial feasts. At Amersden in Oxford
shire il was the custom at the burial Of
every corpse for a cake and flagon of
ale to be given to the minister in the
church porch Immediately after the
funeral.
The curious and repulsive practice OF
SIN eating IL nOW ODSOIclb. huDTcy, III

thue refers to it:
's.n the county Of Hereford was an old
custome at funerals TO have poor people
who were to take upon them the shines
of the party deceased. The manner was
that when the corps was brought out of
the house and layd on the biere, loafe
of bread was brought out, and delivered
to the slime eater over the corps, so also

he was to drinke up, and six pence in
money, in consideration whereof he took
upon him all the shines OF the defunct,
and freed him (or herr from walking
after they were dead"
The origin of this strange custom was
most likely connected in some way with
the ceremony of the scapegoat under the
old law (Leviticus 16: 3D. Westmin-

AROUND THE HOUSE.

After the juice has been squeezed
from lemons the peels may be utilized
for cleaning brass. Dip them in
common salt and scour with dry brick
dust.
Old paint and varnish may be removed
by an emulsion formed of two parts of
ammonia shaken up with one part of
turpentine. 1t will soften them so they
may easily be scraped off.
To wash windows and make them clear
and bright, use ammonia and borax, but
no soap. To wash glass tumblers and
make them brilliant and clear use strong
tepid soda water, then rinse in clear.
cold water and dry with linen cloth
without nap.
Dingy wall paper may be improved,
though not restored, by rubbing gently
with soft cloth dipped in oatmeal
The cloth must be changed as often as it
becomes covered with the dirt removed
from the paper; otherwise it will soil in
stead of cleansing.
One Of the hardest things to keep neat
about the kitchen is the dishcloth Some
how it will grow to look dingy and
black, no natter how thoroughly it is
rinsed after each dishwashing. OF course,
after rinsing it should always be thor
oughly washed with plenty of soap and
hot water, and then hung out to dry. Use
one cloth for china and glass and another
for pots and pans, for the latter blackens
the cloth, no matter how well washed
they may be. The careful drying of the
dishcloth after each using is very neces-
sary, for damp cloths of any kind lying
about the kitchen, certainly encourage
water bugs and reaches as we'll as black
beetles and other insect denominations.
Keep your kitchen sweet and clean and
you have the first requisite for whole

THERE are, according TO the recent
official reports, fft- derelict vessels
floating in the Atlantic Ocean that arc
regarded as dangerous TO navigation.
The large number of these abandoned
hulks are in the sailing route of the
equator, and the record of their move
ments shows that they cross and recross
the track. Some of them have made
long journeys since they were deserted
by their crews, who took refuge in some
passing vessel when their own craft
threatened to sink or had become hope
lessly unmanageable or waterlogged and
uninhabitable Some of these travel so
near the regular ocean lanes that an al
most unbroken record of their wander
ings is reported and sketched on the
Atlantic pilot charts. One of the latest
Of these well.known ocean wanderers
heard of is the bark Ocean, which orig
inally appeared just north of the south
ern track of the western bound steamers
in September. 1t has since been re-
ported at periodical invervals and has
gradually drifted south, almost to the
sailing route from the equator. The
last reports previous to its recent hailing
was in March, since which time it has
taken northwesterly course toward the
Bermudas, and was seen in about longi-
tude 60 and latitude 80 on May 30
Some of the abandoned vessels have
valuable cargoes of lumber, and could
they be towed to port would prove rich
booty. One of the most notable of the
derelicts, whose journeyings were we'll
recorded, was the Maine schooner w. L..
White. which, after being abandoned
off Delaware Bay in March, 1888, after
ten months and ten days, arrived off the
northwest coast of Scotland and went
ashore at Stornoway, having traversed
5000 miles Of ocean and been reported
forty five times by passing ships.

Pies by the Ten Thousand.

One hardly realizes the capacity of the
New Highlander for pie until he is told
that Boston has pie bakery capable of
turning out 10, 900 pies day, and that
it is running at its full capacity all the
time Most of the work is done by ma
chinery under the direction of experts,
who know just what pie should be,
and the pro duct is OF all sorts and sizes,
from the ordinary pumpkin pie to the
most delicious mince. and from a little
pie worth nickel to a.huge rectangular
affair that will feed family. One of
the most interesting operations is the
baking. 1t is arranged so that a big
wheel, at least 12 feet long and 16 in
diameter, is suspended by its axle in
big oven under which is a glowing fire.
Hung from the rims of this wheel at
equal distances from each other are eight
iron platforms, upon which pies are
placed. Such is the manner of suspen-
sion that they always remain horizontal.
This wheel is revolved by power. One
of these platforms is before the opening
in the oven, which pening is as large
as the wheel itself. The attendants cover
this platform with pies, and the wheel is
turned until the next one comes into
view, which is then filed, and so on until
the eight have been supplied. The next
turn brings into view the first lot put in,
and they are ready to take out. They
are removed and the platform filled again.
The wheel turns and another baked lot
is presented, and so il goes on day after
day, 1000 an hour taking their course
over this pit OF fire. -[Picayune.

Chinese Cucumbers.

Down in Miles River Neck, Talbot
county, there is spot where the average
Chinese would delight to dwell. 1t is a
place where Chinese cucumbers grow to
an enormous size. This vegetable, how
ever, assumes sometimes a shape which
frightens the natives of the neighbor-
hood, in spite of the fact that Talbot is
local option county Baltimore Ameri-
CAM. The cucumber grows long and
slim, and az times twists itself into coils
resembling a snake. A man going from
Easton the other day to Miles River
ferry, in passing little clearing in the
woods, noticed green looking object in
patch of vegetables, and he got over
the fence to make closer examination.
He almost tainted. Another citizen came
along soon afterward. The first man
had revived and was leaving the patch
at Nancy Hanks gait. When accosted
he said to his friend: '' Been
bit by a snake; woods full of EN-" Citi-
zen No. 2 persuaded the frightened man
to go back, and upon examination the
snake proved to be a Chinese cucumber
about twenty seven inches long, which,
in the course of growth, had twisted it.
self up in the form of a snake. The GU
cumber was sent to the American office
by express yesterday. 1t was grown on
the farm of l.. w. Trail, of Miles
River Meek, and its shape is perfectly
snakelike. Mr.. Trail, it is said, has
quarter of an acre of them. The Chi
nese cucumber is not eaten to any extent
in this country, except by Chinese and h
few foolish cows. The former, however,
import them in dried condition from
their native land, as they do stale eggs and
other odorous luxuries. The Chinese like
to see cucumbers grow and and they cul-
tivate them in their yards in the cities
over here. The snakelike appearance of
the vegetable does not frighten the slant
eyed foreigner, as he would eat with
relish garter-snake if he didn't happen
to have anything else handy.

Growth OF Finger Nails.

A prominent uptown manicure who
has devoted many years to the study OF
the subject states as the result of his
observations that the finger nails of the
human species grow mere rapidly in
children than in adults, and that the
growth is slowest with the aged.
His observations, however, do not
stop at this, for he finds that both in
childhood and age they grow faster In
summer than in winter. In one instance
a nail that required 1872 days to renew in
winter renewed in summer in exactly
116 days. During both seasons the
patient upon whom this experiment wa1
made enjoyed normal health.
The method of testing this growth
was in each instance the same. The nail
was pared close and slightly notched at
the quick. Both the right and the left
hand were studied, with the result that
he affirms that the growth of finger nails
is more rapid on the right hand than on
the left. As the person was right handed
it is presumed that the contrary is true
of left ft-handed individuals
One popularity of the growth of finger
nails in addition to those stated is that
the period OF renewal differs proportion
ately with the length of the fingers.
Thus it is more rapid in the middle fin
gers than any other. In the fingers on
either side the middle finger the period
of renewal is about equal aud slower. 1t
is even more slow in the little finger,
and slowest of all in the thumb.
Comparing the same fingers of the
different hands, the person who discov-
cred these curious phases of growth
states that on an average the nails on the
left hand fingers of a right handed per-
son require eightytwo days longer to
renew than those of the left hand. In
one particular the growth Of the nails
and hair and beard are governed by the
same law, that of growing more rapidly
in summer than in winter.-[New York

The Toilet OF Birds.

The feathered tribes have many pccu-
liar ways and fancies about the details
of their toilets. Some birds use water
only, some water and dust, while others
prefer dust and no water. Birds are not
only exceedingly nice in their choice Of
bath water, but also very particular
about the quality of their toilet dust. ="
Wild ducks, though feeding by salt
water. prefer to bathc in fresh water
pools, and will fly long distances inland
to running brooks and ponds, where
they preen and dress their feathers in
the early hours of the morning Spar
rows bathe often, both in water and in
dust. They are not so particular about
the quality of the water rs about
the quality of the dust. They prefer
clean water, but have seen them take
dip in shallow pools that were quite
muddy. The city sparrow must take a
water bath where he can get it-in the
streets or on the tops of houses but he
is most careful in his choice of his dust
bath. Road dust, the dryest ana finest
possible, suits him best. have noticed
the city sparrow taking his dust bath in
the street, and invariably he chooses a
place where the dust is like powder.
Partridges prefer dry loan. They like
to scratch out the soil from under the
grass and fill their feathers with cool
earth. Most birds are fond of burnt
ashes. Some early morning take walk
across field that has been burnt over,
and see the number of winged creatures
that rise suddenly from the ash heaps.
A darting form, small cloud of ashes,
and the bathers disappear.-lNew York
