When the Jews were confined to ghet.

no trace of red remained in the water.
It was thus made sodden and unfit for

keen, and the Jew was free from the
gouty taint which made warriors and
Statesmen prematurely old. All the
old paintings Of Jews represent them
with the voluminous heads Of hair and

gouty tendencies. The sodden meat
was not q good muscle restorer. but

Capt. James Cook had wonderfully
good eyes. Nearly century and a half
ago he told Of the great deposits Of

the deposits he spoke Of and nave found
them.
Russia IL said to be trying to buy
the island Of Pulo Way OF the north
west end Of Sumatra from the Dutch
for . coaling station for her Pacific
fleet. It would be dangerously near
the entrance to the Straits Of Alalacca,
and thus would threaten British com.
merce between India and China and

Two Aka girls from central Al

years ago by DR.. Stuhlmann to he civ

AT Waterloo 10000 men were en-
gagged, of whom $1,000 were killed,
wounded or taken prisoners. In pro-
portion to the number engaged Water
loo was one of the bloodiest battles
Of history. no less than IS per cent. OF
the whole number being placed hors
de combat. The British artillery fired
9.467 rounds. or one round for every
Frenchman killed in the battle.
The Due d'Aumale has completed
his History of the Princes of Conde, -
the first volume Of which was published
80 years ago. The work does not go be-
yond the nth century, as the historical
importance Of the family diminishes
then. He thus avoids having to tell
the tragical stories of Due d'Enghien
and of the last prince Of the house, who
was found hanging in his room.
Bad luck seems to attend the
French 11,OOO-ton battle ship Brennus.
At her first trials in the summer of

LAST NEW THING in LEGS.

Artlnclol Limbs Made 30 Natural NOVA
days That They Defy Scrutiny.
The degree Of progress shown by
the artificial limbs now constructed is
astonishing. Time was when the man
who lost leg carried the advertise
ment ct his calamity continually about
with him In the shape Of 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 eontriv-
ance, but these pains in the end are q
triumph. though caution should be
used not to put the best leg foremost
too prominently.
| A 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
tiles to the maker. For . long time
:only one joint was used at the ankle,
|bnt second ID now used, and the result
is most satisfactory. BY the use Of
springs and cords ct the knee also It
il possible tor the. wearer. of an artifi-
ciaf leg to sit without the annoyance of
, .protruding leg, which has always
been . cause Of difficulty.
The mechanical skill shown in the
manufacture of hands and arms is no
less ingenious, for they are o.well con-
strncted as to be for use as well as for
ornament. One. maker seems to re-
g1fd the latter as the primary attrae-
.tion, however, for he says: 81 mako
them no that the. hand can be de-
|itachcd and ! hook, ring or any instru-
|Iment suitable to the weaTTerrs business

/ The arms now made can be moved
forward or back. while the fingers Of
the hand arc made 70 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-
|sgcrs are made to open. while by an
other they arc made To close, In which
