AN OLD MAIDS EPITAPH

One of Depew's stories at the Buffalo
club dinner which does not appear in his
reported speech was one told by his friend
Mr.. Bishop, for a long time president of
the New Haven road. "He is now," said
Mr.. Depew, "resting in his old age in hon
orable retirement and reflection upon the
sins which are frequent with a railway
president. He told me the other day that
when he visited for the first time in sixty
years, the place of his birth, he began to
inquire about the old lady and old maid,
Abigail Henderson, who was his teacher in
his early youth-before he went to the
academy and thence to Yale-and finding
no record of her among the "reminiscences
of the town went to the churchyard aud
there discovered that she had erected a
"reminiscences of herself. 1t was monu-
ment on which was inscribed: Abigail
Henderson, died aged o. Put your trust
in the Lord and have no confidence in
man. II Abigail had been the recipient of
the honor you have showered on me to-
night she would have reversed that verdict.
She might not have expressed her doubt as
to the Lord, but she certainly would have
been treasured about man."-Buifalo

ough seasoning of two years. For legs,
these blocks are long enough to form
either the lower or calf or the upper or
thigh part of the limb. Then there is
the foot block. All the work is done
by hand. Invention has not yet de-
vised machinery for making artificial
limbs. The first thing the operator
does is to hew the foot block into some
rough sem blance of human foot, and
into this is put one part of the ankle
hinge. Then the skin is rudely formed,
and the other portion of the ankle
hinge is adjusted. When these two
parts are put together and connected a
natural working ankle joint is pro-
duced. The ordinary make has only
the back and forward motion, though
in some cases joint having lateral
action is found necessary. This, how
ever is not often.
The next point to which the work
man gives his attentions the toe joint.
This is simple contrivance to look at,
but it is an ingenious piece of mechan-
ism. 1t is difficult to get this hinge to
exactly suit the step of the wearer.

bunions and chilblains might do their
worst and have only their trouble for
their pains.
Accidents will happen and legs and
arms be broken or crushed so that
amputation becomes necessary, and
then the artificial article is truly a
blessing. 1t appears to be difficult
task to determine the date of the fret
appearance of this great boon to hui
manity. For centuries the unfortunate
cripple was an object of pity, neglected
and entirely at the mercy of the I'M
skilled surgeon. Crude and cruel
methods we're adopted by the ancients
in cutting off limb. 1t was not until
the seventeenth century that any hui
name means of stopping the hemorr-
ha was discovered. Previous to that,
after leg or arm had been knocked
off by the use of a mallet and chisel,
the stump was scared over with red
hot irons to stop the flow of blood.
And even after all this torture the

Peg Leg for Amputation Above the Knee

Peg Leg for Amputation Above the Knee
intends procuring artificial limbs to
visit the factory in person in order 10
get perfect fit, it is possible to get
fairly good results from a plaster Of
paris cast. 1t is sometimes impossible
for people to reach large cities where
this work can be done as it should be,
and in such cases the plaster cast
serves a good purpose. So also in re-
gard to the cost of limbs. A perfect
leg will cost about $75. while an arm,
owing to the complicated mechanism,
will cost from $40 to 500.
There are what the makers call peg
legs These are finished legs except that
they have no foot. They are made
with a peculiar joint at the knee, so
that the peg can be either stiff or, by
turning screw, can be made to work
on a hinge, as the wearer likes best
The socket receptacle is followed out
in the complete leg, and they can be
made very comfortable.
There is wide difference of opinion
regarding the time that ought to elspse
after amputation before the artificial
limb should be tried, but fair aver
age Of all judgments on the matter
sets the time at three months, and it
will then take two weeks to turn out q

sufferer was compelled to hobble about
as best he could without the slightest
hope of ever having his condition
ameliorated. And yet some substitute
for missing member was certainly
found by the sncients, for Herodotus,
who died 40S B. O., tolls Us in some of
his historical works of a prisoner who
amputated his own foot to free him
self from the shackle, and was thus
enabled to escape and return to his
home, where his friends provided him
with wooden foot An artificial leg
was found in 1885 at Capua in tufa
tomb and is now on exhibition at the
Academy of Sciences in London. At
the feet of the skeleton where this rel
let was found lay three vases bearing
the date of 300 B. O., proving that the
art of making artificial limbs is an old
one.
The beginning of the present ceu-
fury, however, marks the time when
real improvements were made in arti-
fetal limbs and shapely legs and arms
and hands began to take the place of
the crutch and the stiff and immova-
BILE wooden peg. Although frequently
spoken of as "cork" legs, that very use
full material has never been factor in
the making of an artificial limb. There
are many stories told why they receive
the name of cork leg. The most COM
mon one is that the first ever manu-
featured was in Ireland, in County
Cork. This is, however, only told or
credited by the Irish maker. Artificial
limbs are made generally from red or
English willow. This comes TO the

HOW ARTIFICIAL LIMBS ARE MADE
A Flourishing Chicago Industry

The manufacturers of artificial limbs,
of whom there are so many in Chicago,
have been heard to jokingly assert that
it would be worth while for any one to
have the natural legs amputated just
for the pleasure of wearing pair of
wooden ones made by them. And they
go still further and back up their state
ment by the arguments that false toes
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-12-15

few years in the making of artificial
limbs is little short of miraculous.
Hundreds of people one meets on the
street daily are wearing wooden legs
or arms, but give no sign of it from
clumsy or awkard movement, BIZ
cycles are ridden, baseball and foot
ball are played without the slightest
Inconvenience. Ingenuity has indeed
robbed the loss of limbs of most of its
