nell, Ia, in 1894. The hot air pres. sure on a coach at that time severely sealded his face and hands. He was scared for life. In the course of time he recovered the use of his left hand, but his right hand was so parboiled and maimed that he lost control of it. The member was like a piece of mangled beef The skin was hopelessly and per. manently gone from finger tip to wrist.
 Being possessed of means, Mir. LYdaY sought the best of surgical aid regard less of expense, but without avail until recently. Several weeks ago he came to Chicago and went to St. Joseph's hos. pital. Dr. Senn was summoned
 The surgeon found that the hand baf- fled all old remedies at grating He finally decided to make all experiment as the last hope for relief. Lyday shud. dered at the suggestion, but p1uckily agreed to the test Dr. Senn decided that the chance was to slice a piece of skin ill Lyday's breast or stomach so that the hand could be inserted therein between the flesh and skin, thus prac- tically making q sling of skin and flesh ill which the patient could rest his dis figured hand
 Lyday first submitted to the knife April 9. A piece of his skin inches ill width, inches long and a quarter of all inch thick was sBillfully cut. The unique bandage was lifted to permit tho insertion of the mangled and sealded hand which needed new covering. The hand was placed in this novel grafting device q few weeks ago. Yes terday the triumph was complete. The skin had grown on the back of the hand, and 8 process was promptly ap- piled to substitute another skin on the stomach and breast from which the strip had been transferred to the hand.
 A photographer took advantage of the opportunity, and several good negatives of the achievement were secured. MT. Lyday is i'll excellent spirits, and Dr. Scnn naturally is proud of the success of his novel experiment.. - Chicago Times Herald.

New Workers Forming an Association to
 Supply Members at Cost.
 A cooperative association is being formed among the up town New York wheelmen, the object being to buy their bicycles and bicycle supplies direct from the manufacturers. A general supply store will be started for the sale of ali kinds of bicycle goods, and repair shops will be established i'll the principal bi cycle districts. It IS said by those most interested that the association ill time will furnish probably even household supplies to the members
 All goods will be supplied at cost to the members, and only members will be entitled to trade at the store or have their repairing done at the repair shops of the association.
 It is readily seen what an advantage will be gained for the wheelmen in sav- ing the middlemen s profits on all their supplies. A clubhouse will be opened for the members, who, it is expected, will number 1000 very soon. New York Herald.

SELL THEIR BODIES.
Peculiar Action of Young Couple From
 Harrison County, Mo.


 Well doctor, we have come here this morning to sell you our bodies. How much will you give for them?'
 This was the startling proposition made to Dr. Thompson E. Potter in his office at St. Joseph, Mo, the other day by well dressed young couple, who claimed Harrison county as their home, but who would not diyulge their names.
 Dr. Thompson E. Potter Is president of medical college Tho young man and woman said they were tired of life, and desired a small advance on the pur- chase price to prepare for death, the balance to be sent to relative after death. The young woman was pale, and the conversation on the subject made her shiYer occasionally, but she had eyi- dently resolved to stay with her hus- band and if the sale was made she was to be included in 1t.
 Dr. Potter was finally compelled to refuse to buy the bodies under any cir cumstanees, whether they died naturally or killed themselves He explained to the young people that it was out of the natural course of business to buy bodies in that way.
 Should you offer to sell your wife's body after she is dead or should she of fer to sell yours after life is extinct, it would be lawful for the college to buy it, said the physician, but to buy them while you are both alive and in apparent good health would be out of the question. D
 The young people left the office and the police were notified, but the young people have not been arrested. St. Louis Globe Democrat.

ASihoAhens committee on Arbitration to
 Meet In Washington.
 The permanent committee on arbitra- ton between the United States and Great Britain will soon meet in Wash ington, when various plans will be de- termined on ill f1rtherance of the estab- lishment of permanent court of arbi- tratlon between this country and Great Britain
 The senate of the United States Feb. 14, 1890, and the house of representa- tiyes, April 3, 1890, adopted a concur rent resolution requesting the president to invite negotiations with any govern ment with which the United States may have diplomatic relations for the pur- pose of referring to arbitration any dis putes which cannot be adjusted by dip lomatie agency
 On July lG, 1893, the British house of commons adopted resolutions con- mending the action of congress and ex- pressing the hope that her majestys government would cooperate fully in the project. All over this country and England the proposition was hailed with delight. At the great meeting ill Queen 5 hall, London, March 3, 1896, thousands listened with hearty unanimity to the favorable speeches of Mir. Gladstone, MT. Balfour, Herbert Spencer, Hall Gaine and others.
 Growing out of meetings of prominent thinking men throughout this country, aconference of carefully selected men of influence in every quarter of the Union assembled in Washington on April 22 and 9. The permanent committee was appointed then, which organized in New York. At the meeting of the executive committee in the near future plans will be submitted for the establishment of an international tribunal. This interna- tional court of arbitration will bear the same relation to nations that the courts of each country bear to individuals = New York World
