Asbestus in its original state is a

When it reaches the factory. it is put

Where the Best Horses Are Found.

Tho best driving and carriage horses
come, | think, from Maine and Yer
mont, being tougher, as arule, fhan the
kentucky horses and no less intelligent.
High shoppers for tho most part are ma
tiyes Of Maine or of Canada. Western
horses, especially those from Indiana,
Iowa and Ohio, are corn fed aud soft,
and they often lack that quality"
which the Kentucky horses derive from
the thoroughbred strain in their blood,
The best hunters, perhaps the best com
bination saddle and harness horses,
como from the Genesoe valley, where
there is great Zeal Of good blood and
where real fox hunting is pursued. -

pousse etching of the Louis XVI style.
The sprocket wheel is of plain silver, and
the upright rod supporting the heavy
leather saddle is of steel with a silver
jacket. The saddle itself is studded with
silver nails. The cost of the machine as
It stands is 500. A silver lantern is being
made TO go with it, which Will add from
800 to 800 to the price.
The wheel was designed by John Cur
ran, chief SilYersmith in the Tiffany
works and president of the Tiffany Wheel
ing Club. Mr.. Curran said yesterday that
in constructing the wheel he had in view
not only ornament, but utility and light
ness as well. The completed wheel weighs
about twenty-siX pounds. member of
the Tiffany company said yesterday. in
explaining the construction of the new
bicycle:
This wheel was built to supply a de-
mand which we know to exist among some
of our patrons for a better and more ex-
pensive wheel than can be had on the
market at present. once the bicycle was
a luxury which only the rich could afford
but with the gradual lessening Of the cost
of production, the best wheel can now be
had for about 800. There are millions of
wheels in use at present, and they are
sold so cheaDly that the millionaire's
groom can ride one as good as his en-
ployers. The continued popularity of
wheeling among our wealthiest set IS like
~ TO depend on the production of a wheel
better than the ordinary. Such a wheel
we have tried to make, and believe that
another season will sec many Of them at
the fashionable resorts"
Although the wheel now on exhibition
was built as an experiment there have
already been many Inquiries about IL and
u will probably be sold before Christmas

Remarkable Feat in Surgery Performed
by . French Physician.
At the Bicetre hospital in Paris, says
the London Daily News, the we'll
known surgeon, M. Landry, lately per-
formed a curious operation on = work
man of Belgium nationality. The
Belgian, it appears, got drunk a short
time ago and vas taken to the police
station at GENTLY when in a state of
utter helplessness. While he was in
the cells another drunkard, a mechan-
ical engineer named Machant, was
brought in in a state bordering on
delirium tremens. Machant was in a
terribly excited state and he attacked
his fellow prisoner with extraordinary
ferocity, striking him, and, horrible to
relate, biting off both his ears.
When he came to himself Machant
became very penitent and asked to be
taken to the bedside of his victim, who
was now in the Bicetre hospital, in
order to ask his forgiveness. DR..
Landry, who was there, said: "Should
you like to give him back his ears?'
Certainly" said the man. "Then,"
said the doctor, "1et me cut a couple Of
small slips of flesh from your arm and
it can be DONE" The man consented
and the doctor did as he had suggested.
The pieces of flesh he. shaped as well
as he could to the likeness of a pair Of
ears and joined them to the wounded
places. According to the latest &C.
counts the operation has been q COM
