William Frey. who resides on Wash
ington avenue, Newport. Ky, has ten
year old daughter who was afflicted with
a compound club foot. The bones we're
twisted and the foot turned to such an
angle that the girl walked on the side Of
her ankle and the toes pointed directly
up. A local surgeon ives asked to dc
something. He opened the foot and re.
moved the bones, leaving a large hole in
the foot. To remedy this the surgeon
killed large chicken, and taking the
thigh bones sawed them to fit the spaces
left by the removal of the foot bones.
Antiseptics were applied, the incision
closed aud sewed up, and after the foot
had been placed in proper position ii
was made firm by splints and left alone.
The other day the splints were removed,
when it was found the chicken bones
had grown to the human bone, and the
foot is now both slightly and useful. Ii
is said to be the first case OF the kind Oh
record. st. Louis Republic.

Mexican Iio., este Animals.

The ancient Mexican knew nothing Of
the use of b~asts of burden. The llams
was wild and seemin gly Undesirable foi
domestic purposes. From the bison,
sheep and goat they derive little or nc
benefit. The dog has always been q
favored animal with the Mexicans, and
has been used as beast OF burden to
carry their tents and draw their baggage,
as among the savage Comanches Of North
America. In the days before Cortes
and his conquering hosts invaded the
Aztec Kingdom the natives kept only the
small, dumb dog, which they fsttcned
for the table. The Spaniards introduced
horned cattle and horses, which suisse
quently roamed wild, and to this day
vast herds and droves occupy the plains
of Jaliscc, Durango, Zacatecas and
Chihuahua. - St. Louis Republic.

She Dresses Dogs.

A dog tailor fourishes in Paris. This
tailor is woman, and her reception
rooms cunningly cater to both mistress
and pet. Here Prince Bow-wow has
rugs, water bowls and biscuit jars, to re-
fresh him during the trying on processes.
Here are the daintiest water-colcr pat
tern books to choose from, and anything
from sealskin to chamois is provided. A
green broadcloth lined and edged with
seal, is blanket that especially becomes
milady's greyhound; but scarlet, edged
with silver cordings and lined with
quilted satin, is gay coat for the toy
terrier. A tailor.made doggie, with a
gold clasp under his chin and a Mono
gram well toward his tail, Is a sign of
the times in France. -Detroit Free

One so seldom sees genuine old
lady nowadays. The devices OF the
perruquier, the complexion special
ties Of the beauty doctor, the dress
aids and skill of the modern modiste,
all tend to keep the sweet, motherly
creature with snowy hair and old
world courtliness of manner in the
background. frequently one won
ders what sort Of memories the little
folks Of to-day will have Of the
grandmother who looks as young and
dresses as gay as her daughter, and
insists on the children calling her
auntie. In comparison with this ex-
tremely frivolous elderly person we
think of our own grandmother, who
long years ago was laid to rest In the
country burying ground. How sweet
and aristocratic were the silvery
locks surmounted by the cap Of real
lace. No French twists anG false
front pieces at variance with the color
of her hair for this dear old lady, who
wore gowns becoming to her years,
and whose face, with its wrinkles
unhidden or filed in by some time
destroyer of modern invention, looked
out upon the world from eyes long
used to spectacles which she was not
ashamed to wear. There was more
of dignified beauty In the growing
old of such woman than in the vain
strlvings after vanished youth
which lead so many women to dress
like their own young daughters; to
accept every device toward the arti-
fetal reproduction Of faded charms,
and which leaves in the world to-day
so few of those lovely, womanly
women who have no desire to ape the
manners and dress of the young, and
who possess dignity and lovablenes'

parted days will never possess.-

Hetrothal of the Duke and Princess.

The official announcement of the be-
trothal of the Duke of York, the ulti-
mate heir to the throne, to the Princess
May of Teck will be received throughout
the country with subdued approval.
The young couple are, it is said, sincerely
attached to each other, and we heartily
hope the statement, in itself probable
enough, is actually true, for the English
idea in that respect, though no doubt
born Of sentiment, has behind it solid
basis Of reason. M
A prince or princess must occasionally
submit to reasons OF state, but neyerthe-
less king without wife he cares about
is very unhappy kind of being. He
rarely comes in contact with other close
relatives, who are usually married away
all over the world. He can have no male
intimate friends--the difference Of grade
being too Violent, and the deep suspi-
ciousness of royalty as to the motive of
courtiers' attachment being too incura-
ble-and if he has female friends there
is sure to be scandal. A well behaved,
honest court is the best security here for
the throne, as we have seen all through
Queen Victoria's reign, and the best
guarantee for that-the only guarantee
indeed which works-is that the queen
shall be the kings closest friend.-Lon-
don Spectator.

AS soon as the postmaster spied the Wis

of boxes. grabbed letter and paper
and darted out Of doors at the same high
rate Of speed.
"Heres your mail, Mr.. Smith. Little
rainy, isn't it? Hope your grounds look
ing WELL" etc., until the old man tucked
his mail under his leg and drove away.
The postmaster saw fit to explain
little when he came back. "That's one
