self, was born without feet or arms His
father and mother were professional
beggars, and in his twelfth year he was
put on the street by them to solicit aims.
His physical defects brought him an ex-
ceptional amount of sympathy and
guldens. He saved his money. and in
1880, at the age of AZ, he had accu,nula-
ted 100000 With this sum he began
business as us'lrer and real estate specu-
lator In 1888 he had increased his for
tune to. $125, 900 in cash, and some $780,
900 in Trieste and Parenzo real estate.
Since then he has quadrupled his wealth
by trading on tho Boerse. His miser-
illness led to his present troubles
He had promised to marry a. woman
but eventually threw her over to avoid
mourning the expense Of wedding.
When she threatened him with legal
proceedings, he bought her forbearance
for 4 cents a day. This expenditure was
impoverishing him, he told her after a
few months. and so he discontinued it.
In the trial of the case which she then
made against him he swore that he had
never contemplated marrying her, had
never promised to do so. and had never
paid her cents day. After all this
had been proved false. he was tried and
condemned for perjury. Jour-

Nobody sta in the little armchair:
It stands in a corner dim,
But a white haired mother gazing there
And yearningly thinking Of him
Sees through the dusk of the long ago
The bloom Of her boys sweet face
As he rocks Sc merrily to ana fro Nd
With a laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds book in his hand.
Sometimes pencil and slate, S.
= And the lesson is hard to understand.
And the figures hard to mate, E--.
But she sees the nod Of his fathers head,
So proud of the little son,
And she hears the word so often said, -
mo fear for our little one.'
They were wonderful days, the dear. sweet
days,
When q child with sunny hair
Was hers to scold, to kiss and to praise
AT her knee in the little chair
She lost him back in the busy years
When the great world caught the man.
And he strobe away past hopes and fears
Te his place in the battles van.
But now and then in a wistful dream,
Like a picture out of date
She sees a head with a golden CLEAN
Bent over a pencil and slate.
And she lives again the happy day,
The day of her young Hfe's spring,
When the small armchair stood just in the
way,
The center of everything.

French Imitation Pearls.

The hast grade Of French imitation
pearls cannot be distinguished from real
ones. even by the most expert jewelers.,
unless the string is handled, when the
difference in weight becomes apparent,
the real pearl being heavier than an imi.
tation one.
An American lady who herself owned
valuable jewels once told me that she
and her husband were shown on one &C.
casion by her Partisan jeweler a cluster
Of strings of pearls, half of which were
real and the other half imitation, and
they were requested to point out the
real ones. They both inspected the
pearls long and with the most minute
care, and finally indicated their choice.
The gentleman had indeed fixed upon a
string OF genuine ones. but the lady,
though she continually wore and had
had in her possession for years mag
nificent necklace Of real pearls, forfeited
her claim for discrimination by picking
out one of the imitation ones.
The very finest Of the French imita-
ton pearls are expensive, costing from
$40 to $15 a string. Oddly enough, the
longer they are kept the better they be-
come. as the passage of years lends a
yellow tinge to the wax, which causes
the pearls to look at once more lustrous
and more real. The pearls prepared for
embroideries, dress trimmings, etc., are
merely small beads filled with wax and
lack the careful shaping, as well as the
inner coating Of fish scale liquid that
make the pearls manufactured for neck
laces and earrings so perfectly deceptive.

Petroleum For Diphtheria.

In the village of Neuville-C hamp-d' Oh
sci, about nine miles from Rouen, ma
ignant type Of diphtheria broke out last
year. The country doctor, NJ. Frederic
Flahaut, treated the cases in the usual
way, but the deaths were numerous
Remembering, as he says, that the Eng
fish use petroleum as an antispasmodic
and an antiseptic, he determined to try
it as an experiment. His first trial was
in the case Of a little girl 7'years old.
He had already given her up and pro-
posed to the parents to make the expert
ment, which consisted in swabbing the
throat with common petroleum. He had
little hope of the success Of his new
method, but to his establishment he no.
ticed an improvement after the very first
application. He continued the treat
ment, and the child recovered. Then he
tried it successfully with his other pa
tients.
This year he had 40 cases Of diphtheria
to treat, and he was successful in every
one. In order to be perfectly sure that
the cases in question were genuine ones
Of malignant diphtheria be had the ex-
perforated matter submitted to the anal
ysis Of Professor Francois Hue of the
Rouen College of Medicine, and the pro-
fessor reported that he had clearly dis
covered the presence in it of numerous
bacilli of diphtheria. Moreover, his d.
agnosis was confirmed by Drs. Deshayes.
Lerefait and Ballay Of Rouen, the last
named being the physician i'll chief of
the hospital Of that city.
The treatment presents little difficulty
or danger. The swabbing is done every
hour OF every two hours. according to
the thickness Of the membranes, which
become, as it were, diluted under the ac-
ton of the petroleum. The brush, after
being dipped in the petroleum. should
be shaken to prevent any drops falling
into the respiratory channels The pa
TENTS experience relief from the very
first application. The disagreeable taste

ments only.-Normandie Medicale.

A ROMANTIC ROAD.

The Silver ravine road has been
completed, except the dressing up,and
the last stroke will be completed next
week. The road is trif1e over half
mile long, and starts in just above
Film street, leaving the old Bunker
Hill road at that point, and follow
ing the south side Of the ravine up to
near its head, and coming into the
old Bunker Hill road quarter OF
mile north of Peter Frenzel's farm.
The grade does not exceed nine per
cent at an1T point, while the old road
Ids grade of eighteen to twenty per
cent. The grade of Hickory street. by
the court house, is twelve per cent.
The heaviest teams will have no diff
ficulty in going up this new road. The
road is graded thirty feet wide.
There is a small stone culvert at the
mouth of Silver ravine. The road
cuts through clay largely, except at
one point, where there is fine bed OF
building sand-in fact, the only bed
of building sand to be found in the
city. The cost of the road has been
1882, of which 5000 has been sub
scribed by private parties. This sub
scription, as well as the $500 subscrlb-
ed towards Glenwood avenue, is to be
at once placed in the hands of the city
treasurer for collection. The old
Bunker Hill road will be kept in re-
pair and can tie used by those who de-
sire to. 1t will cost considerable to
keep the new road in repair for few
years, as the banks above will cave
upon the road Contractor Mccall
has done a good Job.
The new road is one Of the most
romantic in the city, passing up a
beautiful wooded ravine, and offering
a pretty view whether looking down
or up. When the people learn about
in, it will become popular drive for
our citizens.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

Henry Hoenhe, who resides near
Madison Lake. suffered a very unfor-
tunate and painful accident Friday.
He undertook to ride a acolt at
about $50 o'clock last evening, and
was thrown to the ground. He fell
upon a particularly hard place, and
his right leg was broken, half way be-
tween the knee and the ankle. Both
bones were broken and the ends were
forced through the fiesh.and.protruded
through the skin. He was near his
house, and was picked up and carried
in. and DR.. Andrews was summoned.
The wound is very bad one, but he
is doing as well as could be expected.
Mr.. Hoenhe is brother of Mrs. Jo-
seph Landkammer, of this city.
