Denth Mn.t unre reen n Relier.

Rose Donahue, who died at Pawtucket, R. L, few days ago. had been bedrid- den, it IS said for thirty-eight years. The deceased was remarkable for her memory and intelligence. When she was nine years old she was stricken down, and from that time never left her bed. After time her feet became locked one upon the other and knitted together the right being concealed beneath tho left. Her hands were without palms, and four bits of boneless flesh six inches long on the right wrist and three on the left were her fingers. Her head was ab- normally large, and her hair long, and her face and eyes expressive. She was also dwarfed by the disease, and at tho time of her death was but three feet in height Philadelphia Ledger,

Eur for Bald Hen.ls.

Dr. John Ege, Readings skin graftine specialist, who year ago ormore gained considerable notoriety by successfully transplanting skin from the forearm of a colored man to the leg of white man, and who subsequently, manufactured a dime museum freak by planting a flow. ing mustache upon the upper lip of a handsome young woman, is continuing his experiments in that direction. The doctors latest achievement, performed with every evidence of success, is that of supplying 2 haldheaded man with a covering of hair that football player might envy, The patient upon whom this operation was performed is Charles Mueller, of Washington, and the subject from whom tho material was drawn to cover the bare spot on the patients head was Mir Geriesu.
 Dr. Ege removed from the head of Gertiesu a piece of scalp |! inches wide by 2i inches long, well covered with hair, and replanted it upon the head of Mueller The soreness created by the removal of q portion of Gertiesus scalp is almost healed, the doctor having so skillfully drawn the lacerated scalp to- gether as to almost remove all evidence of it's removal with the exception of two small spaces which he purposely left with the view of further experiments. He will cover those spots with hair GOV cred skin taken from some animal. and upon tue successful attachment of that transplanted animal skin upon the head of Gertiesu depends the fate of the fu- ture baldheaded men.
 If the doctor be successful the bald will no longer be compelled to hide their badness under the old fashioned, un- comfortable wig, but can simply sur render themselves to the doctor and have transplanted to their pates the covering of some other fellow who is willing to surrender his hair for golden salve.-- Philadelphia Record.

Tho Poetry of sh6nnlng.

The poetry of shopping comes in with those shoppers who arc starved for ex. citement, variety and beauty at home. It is not lawful: they haveno right to do it; but they have no society to satisfy n hunger for the beautiful with jewels and fine dresses on others if not on themselves. They cannot afford tho theatersi they go to the shops. They look at the faces and long; they go to the embroidery counters and fancy; they educate Themselves il the matter of india shawls; they seek the silkroom, brilliant with gas lights and electric lights. and look at brocfdes fit for the court of a princess, &t siIlEs whose famboyant scarlets burn in the inuIni- nation, whose tender blue is tho blue of spring skies half robbed of rain, whose green is the breaking wave of the sea. whose Violet is the hue of mountains far away in autumn fiists, and they picture themselves or those they lote robed and radiant in these tissues, And if the poor shopman is weary when they go away, they themselves are refreshed for long season of further denial and renuncia- tion.-Harper's Bazaar.

He believes that the work of this special
session will continue without sensible in
termission until next December when the
regular session convenes. and he hopes
that the regular session of the Fifty-third
Congress will adjourn early next summer,
so that the time spent In the special session
will really be saved ut the end of the regu-
lar session.
1t is understood that the announcement
of the committee appointments will not be
made until within week or ten days of the
assembling of Congress and this fact has
revived the scheme which is brought to
the front at the beginning of every Con-
gress of passing a resolution allowing
members to introduce bills and resolutions
subject to reference to committees as soon
as the latter are appointed. There is no
real saving of time consequent upon this
practice but it has the advantage most
importent, in the eye Of the new member,
of enabling him to forestall his senator in
the introduction of some measure OF in
terest to his own constituency.

A LYNN GENIUS
Constructs ~ Carriage Which Promises
to DO Great Work.


LYNN. Mass, Aug. 1.-C. l.. Simonds
has made "A steam carriage for his own
use that will make 10 miles an hour. The
carriage weighs only 400 pounds and can
carry two persons at time. 1t has the
appearance OF an ordinary carriage in
front, except there were no provisions
made for a horse. The wheels are OF
cycle make and are four in number. The
hind wheels are z9 inches. and tue front
wheels are 80 inches, with rubber tires.
The boiler aud engine sets just in the rear
of the seat and gives the carriage the APP
pearance of a fire engine. The steam gen.
crates in what is called a porcupine boiler,
which weighs 100 pounds. The engine,
which is upright, is 2xi, with a four-inch
stroke.
The steam Is made by naphtha flames
from three jets. The naphtha is kept In a
cylinder, enough to last for seven hours,
and there is water tank that will hold 10
gallons There Is a pump that is auto
matte in action directly connected with
the engine. The steering part consists OF
o crank wheel on the footboard, SO that
the engineer can steer and attend to the
engine at the same time. The body Of the
carriage rests on a cradle and three
springs. II Is easy riding and allowance
has been made for every movement. The
shafts are IA inch steel, and can stand
all of 1000 pounds.
Mr. Simonds has given the steam car
riage trial already and 1t has proven a
success. II started off at a 10 mile gait;
there was no noise. smoke or trouble what
aver.
