A NEW PAIR OF EARS.
Remarkable Feat in Surgery Performed
by a French Physician.

Remarkable Feat in Surgery Performed
by a French Physician.
At the Bicetre hospital in Paris, a Y
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 was 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. Chen"
said the doctor, "let 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 ac-
counts the operation has been a COM
plete success.
Too. Iou- Horn!
Here are two incidents with a moral:
A boy was sent to town to sell some
potatoes. He returned at night, and
threw down the bag and said, surlily:
s:Nobody that l met asked me for po-
tatoes. Business must be awful dull!'
In the same town there was a boy who
went about, bawling at the top of his
voice: Fish, fsh-fresh fsh!' What
a dreadful noise!!" said an angry WON.
an. do you hear me?" asked the boy,
politely. "Hear you! You can be heard
a mile away!'' Well sa1 the boy
placidly, ''that's what I'm hollerin
for. Fish, fsh-fresh fish!' If yor
want people to appreciate your worth
you must let them know what yor
can do.

ENGLISH SHEEP BREEDERS.

The Way in hich They Care for and
Manage Their Flncks.
Sheep farmers in England do not all
follow the same methods Of care and
management Of their hocks, says John
jackson, Of Ontario. In some sections
where they have shaded permanent
pastures the sheep are allowed to roam
at large for a portion Of the season. In
other parts of the country they are
folded in hurdles summer and winter.
In some cases they r folded on
grass land, and moved every day; in
others they are kept in folds, the grass
being cut and fed in racks-in this case
they are moved at Irregular intervals, SO
that in either case by this system the
land is regularly and evenly manfred.
And again, in other cases. the land is
sown with vetches; the sheep are then
folded on this land, the vetches being
cut forward of the fold, and also fed in
the racks. Another thing the flock
masters are very particular about is to
use nothing but a first-class ram, even
in the hocks that arc onlykept for wool
and mutton. They attend the ram
sales and buy the b,st they can get. l
know OF a breeder that sold last year
at the Cirencester ram sale forty rams
that brought enough money to pay the
rent on a good farm of eight hundred
acres. and the most of these rams
would be bought for crossing. -sa4-.
But to determine just how far we
a follow the English practice of
management in our locks we must
first consider the different circum-
stances in which we are ~placed-our
hotter climate in summer, the more in
tense cold in winter. the smallncss of
Il focks, cost of labor, value of the
product, etc. Yet in many ways, to a
certain extent at least, we would do
well to follow their example in the
care and management of their focks.
And. while the hot sun and severe
frost may be against us to some extent,
our climate as a whole is ahead of the
English climate for the health and
growth of sheep. ..

Cicero was the greatest book col
lector of antiquity. One Of his letters
is extant in which he urges Atticus, a
learned friend who was compelled
from poverty to sell his library at auc-

public sale, but to keep them until
the writer is able to purchase them,
Cicero adding that he is saving all his

Then Present brought out the royal
robes and babe him put them on.
The prince looked at the robes and
wondered.
"These were once NINE" said he,
"and never did I think to wear them
again. Whence came them?"
"They came neither by land nor sea;
but as they once were yours, SO are
they now" replied Present.
The prince clothed himself in the
royal robes, and there he stood as
lately and noble as any lord. "But
how shall the people know that l I'm
indeed a prince" said he, when I
have no row to wear??"
Then Present brought forth the
golden crown from the cupboard where
it lay hidden, and placed it upon his
head, and then in truth he felt himself
a prince once more.
"Rut," said he, chow can a king gov
ern a kingdom with no scepter to show
his royal power?"
Then Present brought forth the
royal scepter and placed it in his hand,
and now at last he looked the king he
was.
"And now come" said Present, ssand
together we will go up to claim the
kingdom that is yours" Then even as
she spoke Present cast aside her rags.

But even Past cannot sing forever.
After awhile she stopped, and the
prince began to look about him again.
Then he found they were in adeep black
chasm; he could not tell how they had
come there nor could he tell how to get
out again, for everywhere there were
great rocks and stones, and cliffs upon
either hand, and it was growing darker
and darker.
Then the prince cried: "Sing, sing
again, Past, sing us out of this black
chasm,' but that Past could not do;
she only wept and wrung her hands.
and begged to be taken home. Then
again the prince looked around upon
all sides, but he could find no escape
and he and Past might have died in the
black chasm had he not heard Present
calling the COWS home far away. The
prince followed the sound of the voice,
and before long he saw a path open be-
fore him, and there stood Father Times

had reached it the prince lifted Past
down. Never again." said he, ''shall
you sing me into such a black chasm as

Then once more, for the third time,
the prince sat down to supper. Tell

GIVE AND TAKE.
A Familiar Rule With People Of Good
Breeding and Fine Feeling.

The question of "giving and taking"
zones up in conversation. You meet with
certain people who will not allow any one
10 have his innings while they can hold
the field Whoever is talking, they cut in
and snip off the thread from those lips,
taking it into their own. They interrupt
and dominate. They cap all stories with
something bigger and longer and higher.
Ii you tell them of something that happen
ed to you at Algiers, they will distance
you by an adventure, on parallel lines,
which they had i'll st. Petersburg. They
understand nothing about giving and TAX
ing in conversation or anything else.
Iheir only ambition is to shine, to attract
attention, to concentrate all eyes on them
and them alone. They are the pirates of u
dinner table, the oppressors of those poor
little people who have only a limited stock
of talk and of anecdote Instead of gener-
ously letting each contribute his small
share they swoop down and take the whole
to themselves and ''giving" is out of
court, while taking" is the law and rule.
Wo give and take in appreciation and
sympathy TO demand all for ourselves
and give nothing to others is a miserable
kind of one sided bargain. But it is not
infrequent among those vain and selfish
people who think they have rights and no
duties, who are barren of sympathy for
others while craving this from all with
whom they come in contact.
To such person nothing comes amiss
in the way of sympathy with his magma
~ suffering and praise of his efforts. If a
cock crows in the night, you must pity
him as much as if he had real cause for
grave distress. But you, your child dies
you have only passing Very sorryn'
flung off like foam from the deep waters of
his own self pity, and then he will tell you OF
his misfortunes on the night previous with
cracking door or bowling dog, with
which you are expected to sympathize.
You have had influenza badly, you are
still weak and depressed, and your ungiv-
ing friend comes to see you. She does her
part toward the recovery of your spirits by
complaining of her cook, bemoaning her
self over her govt and rheumatism, find
ing fault with her neighbors She has no
sympathy to give. She expects to take all.
Keen witted and satirical, Miss Sharpe
spares no one whom she can attack. Her
knowledge Of weak places and vulnerable
tracts is like another sense. She is the
dread of all who know her. Like her more
famous prototype, she creates a desert
around her and calls it peace. But II by
chance any one bold enough to cross swords
with her takes up her challenge and an
swers her in her own way and on her own
lines, ah, then the world is not large enough
to hold her and her antagonist. Sho who
spares no one cannot bear TO be attacked.

frenzicd war of determination began in
the fall of 1871, and i'll four years the
great herd south of the Union Pacific rail
way was completely blotted ont. In 1880
the building of tho Northern Pacific rail

ible at all points, and in October, 1885,

Notice the vast extent and varied char
acter of the territory once inhabited by
this lord of the plains. Not only did he
nhabit the prairies of the west, but also
the billy hard wood forests of the south
eastern states, the burning plains Of north
ern Mexico, the Great American desert, 4"
the Rocky mountains to an elevation of
5000 feet and tho bleak and inhospitable
plains of Canada, up even to tho land of
the muskox. From north to soufh his
range measured 8, 600 miles and from east
to west 2,1o0, or about one-third of tho
entire continent of North America.
In 1869 the completion of the Union Pa
cific railway forever divided the great uni
yersal herd into two portions-a "south-
ern herd, !" containing between S,000,0 00
and 1000, 900 buffaloes, and northern
herd, of about l, 100000.
1t Is probable that never since the world
was made has man seen another such a
mighty host of wild animals as those Of
our bison only 90 years ago. In swimming
rivers they stopped boats for hours at a
time, and on land they frequently stopped
railway trains and even dorailed locomo-
tives that tried to pillow way through
their ranks.
Today you may travel across the conti-
nent as you choose by rail or by wagon,
without seeing either n live buffalo, %

THE BLEACHING SEASON.
Bleaching Of Linen Is Best Accomplished
on the Grass.

ASAc6CAlhS Va Aiuth Eebt accomplished
on the Grass.
In spite of all the makeshifts in the way
of bleaching powders and bleaching lid
uids, no element Is SO powerful as tho
sharp rays Of the sun and the ozone of the
atmosphere to produce the snowy white
ness so desirable in linen and cotton.
In no way can the bleaching be accom-
plished with so little damage to the ma
terial as In the good old way on the grass
Examine the articles to be bleached caro-
fully, and II there are any spots of iron
rust or stains Of any kind treat them to
little lemon juice and salt after they are
spread out. A few days in the strong sun
light will remove even the most obstinate
iron rust stains. After this wash the spots
carefully free from all lemon juice and
salt, wet them thoroughly with clear, cold
water and put them back on tho grass
Wet the clothes as often as they become
dry, using garden hose or watering
pot and turn them several times
Some laundresscs are very successful in
bleaching their clothes In the hot suds OF
the rubbing board. All stains or spots
which it Is difficult to remove with rub
bling on the board are rubbed with soap
and laid out in the sun for an hour or so
until the rest of the rubbing is done. They
are then rerubbcd, boiled up and left
standing covered up in the tub to steam
over night. A writer In the New York
Tribune explains that when this method
of bleaching In the suds Is followed by an
abundance of rinsing in the morning and
the clothes are hung out in the sunshine
and air they may often be bleached as
thoroughly as If they had laid for several
days on the grass.

Reyelinr In tho yyater.

Now is the time when country boys seek
pools of water, and dofling their clothes
splash and plunge about like veritable
mermen, forgctful of maternal admoni-
lions not to Ego In swimmin." Their sis
ters content themselves with wading, bare
footed, each ripping brock that they como
upon In their wanderings across tho green
fields. There is a charm about the watcr
that is irresistible, and not alone is its
fascination exercised over the children In
the country.
In the city tho public lighthouses are
well patronized by the boys, says Golden
Days. Even the running cutters, tho
town boys substitute for brooks after a
rain, got their share of attention from tho
youngsters, and a hose cart is q paradise for
the street urchins who, following in its
wake, take their shower bath with uncon-
cealed delight.
