A case entirely new to medical
science came under the observation of
the physicians at the Maryland uni
versity hospital recently. James Ty-
mon was the patient, and he was
afflicted in a peculiar way. Tymon is
employed at the bakery of ID. w.
Lord, at No. 10 East Camden street,
and is about nineteen years of age
While at work he accidentally fell
upon his right arm. He felt an acute
pain in the member, as If 1t had been
fractured. The pain was intense and
finally Tymon's employers sent him to
the hospital, where he was examined
by the physicians in charge. To their
surprise they discovered that. instead
of being broken, the bone of the fore
arm was bent so as to form almost Il
circle, and was firm in that position.
1t was something that the physicians
had not come in contact with before.
1t is supposed by the doctors in at
tendance up Tymon that the bone had
become softened in some way, either
through constitutional weakness or a
peculiar diet.-Baltimore Herald.

one of the boys hit their father and
knocked him senseless, so that he lay
quite still. They thought him dead,
but they fought IN more desperately
than ever; for now it required almost
superhuman exertion to keep the
wolves from devouring their fathers
body.
All this time they had been halloo-
ing and crying for help, their voices
going far through the snow-burdened
air.
Bravery and heroic resistance are
nearly always rewarded. At the last
moment help Unexpectedly and sud-
denly arrived. There vas a shout
down below; then another and anoth-
err. A pack of hounds began to harry
the wolves from behind. Three or
four rifles cracked keen and clear. In
less time than l take to write it the
whole bowling body Of wolves had
been scattered or killed, and the pant
ing. almost dying, boys, were in the
hands Of a hunting party.

His Ticket S1yeI Them

Mileage tickets in Berlin go by the
name of ''kilometerheft," and the
stamped stubs show exactly where
ard when the holder of the ticket was
at any given time and place. This is
what saved the drummer for a Carls-
ruhe firm the other day in a predica-
ment. Just as he was climbing into
the train leaving for Mannheim he
was arrested. An awful crime bad
been committed 4 few hours before in
the Haardt forest, not far away, and
the minute description of the perpe-
traitor tailed exactly with the appear
ance of the unfortunate drummer.
Then the ticket came to the rescue.
That furnished an undeniable alibi for
him, as it showed him to have been
100 miles from the scene Of the crime
at the time of its occurrence. The
proof was furnished so promptly that
the drummer did not even. miss his
train.-Roston Transcript.

Darlington. Sometimes the critics
rouse a playwright up and say to him:
Look here, old man, wake up, and be
Il little more up to date; don't give us
conventional types that vanished from
the earth more than forty years ago."
Then he wakes up for a bit and goes
to-nature? No! To the comic papers.
Esdale. OF course, there is still too
much truth in what you say.
Darlington. Take me to any play
you like to select, and | will show you,
in the course of it, gross violations Of
probability that, If they were commit
ted by a novelist would make one
throw his book aside and never read
a line of him again. Do you doubt it?
Esdale. 1t is probably enough, alas!
Darlington. Then, since We have
men who can write. why the mischief
don't we get them to write our plays
for us?-Nineteenth Century.

Brothers Who Fell Out About a Mat
rimonial Arrangement.
"The queerest feud I ever heard Of"
said NJ. G. Allen, the well known
sportsman, "is one that I encountered
while hunting in Southern Humboldt
county. I noticed our guide carried a
repeating rifle, a big revolver and a
knife half as long as his leg. He pro-
ceeded with the greatest caution, and
appeared to be on guard continually.
I knew there were no hostile Indians
in that country, and my curiosity was
aroused. Finally 1 asked him what
the trouble was.

Enquiry developed the fact that the
brothers had settled in Humboldt
some years ago, and u guide, who
was married, had left a pretty sister
in-law in Sweden. The brothers talk
ed the matter over, and finally agreed
that the married n should send for
the girl, and when she reached this
country he would give his old wife to
his brother and take his sister-in-law.
1.-THE girl arrived in due time, but
she was so much prettier than the I'M
married brother had expected that he
was loath to accept his brothers cast
off wife. Finally he married the girl,
and then refused to compromise the
breach Of contract by paying what
his brother had expended in getting
her to this coast. A quarrel followed,
and the guide pinked his brother in
the shoulder with a rifle ball and
landed him in the hospital for three
months. The other vowed vengeance,
and they do little now but waGch the
mountain trails, fully prepared to re-
new the hostilities at a seconds no
tice."-San Francisco Post.

HOVE TO.

Bafled, but bravely, like a stag at bay,
She faced the driving gale and angry
sea;
Under short canvas, and with helm
alec,
Hove to, upon the starboard tack, she
lay,
And looked into the winds wild eye
that day,
Over the great green rolling pillows
she
Rode the storm bird, and did to
be
A mist-born phantom rising from the
spray.
Her frightened weather shrouds rang
like a Tyre,
Swept by the furious storm king as
he passed;
Wild ocean wraiths walled in the thun-
dering choir,
A thousand demons shrieked in every
blast;
Yet, better far to battle with the gale
Than drift DER CLASSY e with listless
sail. From the Wave.

his two sons, John and James, aged,
respectively, thirteen and fifteen, left
their homes to go to mill, each carry

They had to go on foot, because of the
steepness Of the path which led over
the mountain.
Owing to an unusual amount of
grain already in when the Turner's ar
rived with their grists. 1t was after
nightfall before they were able to set
out for home with their meal on their
backs. Meantime, a snowstorm had
come up and the ground was covered
three or four inches deep with snow,
while the flakes still fell thick and
fast. Mr.. Turner led the way. AL
though the path was covered up, he
knew every landmark on the mount
ain, and Notwithstanding his heavy
load of meal, to which he had added
the weight of a small quarter of fresh
venison, bought of the miller, he went
briskly along, followed by the lads.
They eve once thought of danger
until the whining snarl Of a wolf
sounded close to them. This was just
as they reached the highest rocky
comb Of the mountain, where the for

Boys, keep close to me-" said Mr..
| Turner: that's a wolf"
James and John did not need to be
twice told; they pressed their fathers
sides as they trudged, and their hearts
beat quicker.
At first they thought that but one
wolf was following them, but soon
enough it was certain that at least a
dozen snarling and hungry animals
were venturing closer and closer to
their heels.

Wolves are great towards until they
have once begun an attack; but when
the fight opens they are desperately

For some time all went well. The
pack sneaked and snarled close behind
Mr.. Turner. But all at once some dim
forms showed themselves in front of
the boys, and began to make danger
GUS passes, swapping their teeth keen

Turner, yelling loudly, pressed the
boys forward. until they reached q

1t is said that John d. Rockefeller
will soon begin the erection of a
chateau which will rival that of
George Vanderbilt in North Carolina.
The Rockefeller mansion will be of
white stone. which will stand near
his present house, commanding a mag
niticent view of the Hudson river. The
architecture will be of the renaissance
style, and the building will probably
contain several hundred rooms. The
house will be lavishly furnished and
will be lighted by electricity. In
architecture, finish, furnishing and
decorations it promises to be the finest
country establishment in America.

A Married woman's Signature,

Most of the readers Of "Silas Lap
ham, will remember poor Mrs. Lap
hams dilemma owe the way to sign
her name to a note and how she ex-
treated herself by saying "Mrs. S.
Lapham," which she thought nom
committal. All better informed than
herself know that there is no mistake
in etiquette much more scorned than
this very blunder. Yet all must feel,
too. that it is an absurd ruling which
makes a married woman give no hint
of her husbands name, and her own
usual title even in letters Of purest
business. This is the English idea
which has cmigrated to America. In
France a woman makes a distinction
between her social and her business
correspondence. With the former she
signs herself, for instance, MARY
Smith," and with the latter Mrs. John
Smith," And common II would
seem to be entirely on the side of
the French woman.-Fhiladelphia In

CONVERTING LIGHT 1Nro SOUND.


Simple Explanation of an Interest,"
ing Operation.
One of the marvelS of modern sci
ence is the conversion of a beam of
light into sound. The light is thrown
through q lens on a glass vessel con-
tanning lampblack, colored silk, worst
ed, or other substances. A dish,
having Sits or openings cut In it, is
made to revolve swiftly in this beam
of light so as to cut it up, making al
ternate flashes of light and shadow.
On putting the ear to the glass vessel,
strange sounds are heard so long as
the flashing beam is upon it. Another
phase of this remarkable discovery is
still more interesting. A beam of sun
light is passed through a prism. The
disc is turned and the colored light of
the solar spectrum is made to break
through it. If the ear be placed to the
vessel containing the silk, wool or
other material, us the colored light
Ills upon it, sounds will be given by
jiferent parts of the spectrum, and
there will be silence in some other
parts. TO Illustrate: If the vessel
contains red worsted and the green
light fall supon it, loud sounds will be
heard. Only feeble sounds will be
heard if the red and blue rays fall
upon it, and the other colors make no
sound at all. Green silk gives sound
best in red light. 1t is by no means
improbable that this discovery fore
shadows a new law of harmonics. and
R~emington's experiments in tone-col-
or may possibly, by this new applica-
ton of sight and sound, result in
some practical theory which will give
us all entirely new scheme Of music.
The thing is but in its infancy, but
the mere fact that such a discovery
has been made cannot but forecast
important results.-Invention.
