LAST NEW THING IN LEGS.
Artificial Limbs Made So Natural Nowa
laya Tint uhar nafx vnrnAIn,-

Artificial Limbs Made So Natural Nova
days That They Defy Scrutiny.
The degree of progress shown by
the artificial limbs now constructed is
astonishing. Time WINS when the man
who lost leg carried the advertise
ment ct his calamity continually about
with him in the shape of a crutch or
staff or peg. Now that is all done away
and the cripple moves undiscovered
among his fellows.
Many walk the streets with two arti-
fetal legs and the lack of their natural
instruments of motion is not detected
by the ordinary observer while those
who have but one artificial leg often
defy close scrutiny. To accomplish
such results the manned must purchase
the most approved devices and must de-
vote some care to the cultivation of
the "knack" of swinging the contriv-
nnce, but these pains in the end are n
triumph, though caution should be
used not to-put the best leg foremost
too prominently.
y universal motion at the ankle joint
has been introduced with good results,
for the peculiar comprehensiveness of
the natural movement of the ankle
has always offered tremendous difficult
ties to the maker. For long time
only one joint was used at the ankle,
but second is now used, and the result
is most satisfactory. BY the use of
springs and cords at the knee also it
is possible for the wearer of an artifi-
cial leg to sit without the annoyance of
protruding leg, which hns always
been a cause of difficulty.
The mechanical skill shown in the
manufacture of hands and arms is no
less ingenious, for they are so well con-
structed as 10 be for use as well as for
ornament. One maker seems to re-
gard the latter as the primary attrac-
ton, however, for he says: 81 make
them SO that the hand can be de-
tachcd and Il hook, ring or any instru-
ment suitable to the wearers business
can be attached and the hand can be
kept neat and clean for dress pur-
poses"
The arms low made can be moved
forward or back, while the fingers of
the hand are made so that they can
be opened or shut. by such adjust
ments the wearer is enabled to per-
form many feats which one would sup
pose to be impossible for the manned.
BY one movement of the arm the fin
gers are made to open, while by an
other they are made to close, in which
position they are retained firmly by
a spring, giving a firm clasp.
A violinist who lost his right arm
was fitted 50 sldllfully that he was
enabled to play again with something
of his former ability, and one man
well known in New York, has two arti
fetal legs, yet he attends balls and
Is by no means wall flower" though
| he shuns the round dances. There
are machine-legged cripples who skate
on roller skates, and there are mer
with artificial arms and hands who
play good game of billards.-N. Y

In Huts the Favorites VIII BE Violet and
Coral.
Hats are still rich in coloring, though
the flashing bits of autumn have
changed to warmer tints for winter.
In Paris the favorite colors for head
gear are violet and coral pink; indeed,
there are few hats on which either
does not appear. A pretty fad is to
have u hat entirely of velvet. Such
one had shining crown of violet
satin made in Tam O'Shanier shape,
with shirred velvet brim of darker
hue. On one side were rosettes of vel
vet, resembling roses, the deception
made still greater by the introduction
of black poppy stamens. Above these
rosettes were punched some creamy
lace and large violet aigrette, and
under the brim narrow row of violets
nestled close to the hair.
Dark hats, in blue, brown or black,
have an unexpected bit of coral velvet
or spray of geranium to relieve their
dullness. Geranium -colored flowers

THIS YEAR.
Judge Belden,s Decision In Ameri-

Leaks Out at Last.

Secretary A. X. Teisberg. of the state rail-
road and warehouse commission, has sent out
circular letter to the different railroad COM
panies doing business in the state, informing
them that hereafter they will be expected to
comply strictly with the law respecting gross
earnings and the payment of gross earnings
taxes, and that any failure to comply with
the requirement of the law, either as re-
specting the making of the annual reports or
the prompt payment of taxes, will be fol-
lowed by the enforcement of the legal pen
alties. While the circular is sent to all the
roads alike. it is in reality merely a deli
cate way of conveying to one two of the
roads suggestion that they are a trife back
ward in coming forward. The 500 road was
late in filing its reports this year, but in it's
behalf pleaded the illness of its accountant
and its offense is considered less grievous
than that of the Great Northern, which was
prompt enough in filing it's gross earnings

promptness in paying it's share for the sup
port of the state government. In fact, it has
permitted itself. to overstep the limit, and it

linquent taxpayers have to pay, an added in

The Young Photographer Attempt
Mt Suicide Successful

Frederick C. Zay the young photographer
who tried to kill himself in Newcomb's
studio. 419 Wabasha street, a week ago yes
terday, by swallowing a large dose Of cor

city hospital at 7:30 O'Clock last evening.
The young mans mother was with him
when he died, having come to st. Paul last
week, upon being informed of her sons at
tempted suicide. The immediate cause of
Zay's death was a complication directly due
to the after effects of bi-chloride of mercury
upon the system.
1t was at first thought that Fay would re-
cover from the effects of the poison, and up
to yesterday afternoon his condition, was
very encouraging. About o'clock, however,
he suddenly became very i'll and passed
away in spite of the efforts of the attending
physicians. Mrs. Fay will accompany the re-
mains of her son to Findlay, O., today.
