And must it be written that mourning

been wern beyond even the fashionable
period for that reason? What sense of
grief, or the sacredness Of sorrow, or
the solcmnity of death is conveyed
when a rosy-cheeked person enveloped

Is jt not travesty? One cannot hope

Stephen, when he left that night,

his rivals dinner on the morrow.
Six weeks later Monica Leigh and
Stephen Langdon stood on the cliffs,
deepin conversation. Langdon was once

to be his wife.

Chadwick felt angry and disheartened
and was rendered unfit to do good
days work.
The next day while he was coming
home from the village he met her face
to face. She was seated in a fine car
riage drawn by two horses that were
guided by coachman who sat In an ele-
waited box in front. Hf
She greeted Mr.. Chadwick only with a
slight and cool nod. There could no
longer be any doubt as to her intentions.
She desired 10 discourage his acquaint-
Rnce.
The young man cursed his folly and
wished that he had never seen her.
Several days later while Chadwick was
planting potatoes it suddenly flashed
upon his mind that Miss Yoland's step
father might have influenced her to as
sumo her unfriendly demeanor.
That gentleman was New York mil
lionaire. He was man of great recti-
tude of character and had shown extraor-
binary ability in the management of an
| immense wholesale business, but he was
overbearing and aristocratic.
He had but one fad, and that was
farming. Although he took much pride
in his farm, he was vexed by the fact
that the annual expenses connected with
it were about $4,000 greater than the in
come from it.

Drs. Jas. and Thomas Mccain. OF
Pittsburg, Pa. are about ready 10 re-
port a remarkable case Of surgery.
1t Is that OF John MuIIigsn. who was
cured OF a broken back.
In October, 1889, while MulIIgan
was descending with a wbeelbarrow
under an iron ore elevator, the sleya-
tor dropped. He received . fracture
OF the vertebrae, and as usual with
such cases was pars'yred from the
ioins down. He was unable 10 move
his legs. Hot irons were applied and
long needles run into them, but they
were insensible TO pain. At the hos
pital the mans flesh was actually rot
ting away. The bones protrudsd and
huge ulcers formed. due to the want
OF nerve supply In the legs. This al
ways follows such cases, causing =
pressure OF the spinal cord and causes
q horrible death.
La the presence OF 70 students Of the
Western Pennsylvania Medical Col
lege, the doctors made al incision 8
inches long in ths mans back. The
vertebrae were exposed. A fracture
Of the arches OF ths tenth and eiev
enth vertebrae was found. Fras-
ments OF bone were found pressing on
the spinal cord. This pressure was
relieved. In SIX weeks the bed sores
had almost healed. A second opers-
tion was performed and now Null
gan il NJ work a completely restovsd
man.

Az Elephant. Queer Appetite.

An autopsy remarkable la Itself
and with surprising results was held
the other day on the body OK the
mammoth elephant Zip" that died
few nights ago in winter quarters
at Baraboo. Wis Professor Donald
son, OF the Chicago. University, aud
ProfessoriAkelly, Of Milwaukes, per-
formed the autopsy to ascertain the
cause OF the big pachyderm's death.
Although long OF the most tractabIe
disposition, Zip, for some time pre-
csding his death, had been la q state
of continuous frenzy, soaring the
kangaroos and other animals at the
quarters into spasms Another pecul-
isrity OF the huge brute was sudden
loss OF appetite.
Tue autopsy was performed In one
snd OF the quarters specially cur
tained OF to prevent the other ele
plants from seeing what was going
on.
A sharp knife was 6rst drawn
through the tough skin under the
stomach the entire length OF the anil
NAL, and then the hide was deftly re.
moved. An insision was then made
in the stomach, and Professor Donald
son. who was welding the scalpsl, ut-
tered an exclamation of surprise.
There certainly cannot be bone In
the elephants stomach" he said.
''and yet the knife strikes something
apparently as hard as iron" The
next moment the cause OF the Profess
sor's establishment was plain. Az che
ligaments parted the spectators
crowding around could see links Of
big chain. II was four feet long and
weighed over ninety pounds
There Is no longer any doubt ss to
what had caused the big elephants
death. Profs. Donaldson and Akelly
both declared Il WAS q marvel that
the animal had lived 90 long with 90
large foreign substance Ia che stom-
ach. The action OF the elephant In
swallowing the chain was alsc con-
sidered remarkabls.
Zip" tipped the scale at eight tons
and stood nearly twelve feet high.

Living mastodons.


The Stickeen Indians positively as
sert that, within the last five years,
they have frequently seen animals
which, from the descriptions given,
must have been mastodons. Last
spring, while out hunting, one OF the
Indians came across a series OF large
tracks, each the size OF the bottom OF
a salt barrel. sunk deep In the moss.
He followed the curious trail for some
miles, finally coming out In full view
OF his game As class these Indians
are the bravest OF hunters. bat the
proportions OF this new spectacle Of
game filed t..e bunter with terror
and he took to swift aud immediate
fight. He described the creature a.
being as large as a post-trader's store.
with great, SHINING, yelIowisn-white
tusks, and mouth large enough 70
swallow a man at single guip. He
further says that the animal was un-
doubtedly Of the same species a. those
whose nesand tusks lie all over that
section OF the country. The fact that
other hunters have told Of seeing
these monsters browsing on the herbs
up along the river gives a certain
probability to the story. Oyer on
Forty-miIe creek bones OF mastodoDs
are quite plentiful. One ivory task Q

sand dunes on that creek, aud single
teeth have been found so large thar

rora every night over on Forty mile
