A septuagenorian student.

AT Warsaw a student has just gradu-
ated at the ripe age of rs. After pass
ing his matriculation many years ago.
lack of funds prevented him from at
once proceeding to the university. and
he was compelled to work as a tutor 20
years in order to save enough money to
enable him to continue his studies. At
the end of that time he presented him-
self at the Warsaw medical academy,
and passed the entrance examination
with distinction. Before he could be-
gin his studies, the Polish rebellion of
1863 broke out, ami Borysik, who was
now II years of age, threw himself into
the movement with all the enthusiasm
of a youthful reyoiutionist. The re-
volt was suppressed, ard Borysik was
exiled to Siberia, where for 80 years he
underwent hard labor. in the silver
mines. In 1895 he received a free par
don, and returned TO Warsaw. In spite
of his age and the hardships he had en-
dured. Borysik lost none of his enthus-
iasm for medical work, and took up his
studies where he had left them off in
1863. After a two years course this
remarkable man has now, at the age
of rs, passed the final medical examine
ton with honors, and will begin to
rractice in Warsaw.--Iondon Mail.

CHAIRLEsS JAPAN.
Am American Woman's Experience
with Furniture Made to Order.

Zone of the funniest experiences
had in Japan" said woman recently,
who has been connected with mission
ary work in that country, was with
chairs. It had never entered my mind
that what is with us such a common ar
ticle of household furniture should be
am unknown quantity to any of the sub
jccts of the mikado, and it was with dis
may that I discovered the house was
to occupy was quite chairless. ] imme-
diately summoned native carpenter,
and tried to explain to him what |
wished him to make for me. 1t was nn
extremely difficult task, for he was evi-
IDENTIFY unable to comprehend why any
one should desire to sit otherwise than
cross-legged upon the floor. Unfor-
tunately, my talent for drawing is
strictly limited. / realized that fact,
but until had made several Intellectual
attempts to portray chair--about as
easy subject as could have had
had never really appreciated the extent
of my incapacity. The drawings which
the poor carpenter finally carried off
with him as models were such
that my heart misgave me. That
I had good reason for my fears
was shown when the chairs were
sent home. With the proyerblal
oriental faithfulness, the man had made
precise copies of his patterns. Where
the chairs of my sketches had weakly
balanced backs, slanting seats and
crooked legs, so their wooden counter
parts exhibited the same pecnliaritics.
They were more difficult to sit on than
l should ever have imagined chairs
could possibly be. Some of them need
cd the MURAL support of friendly wall
to enable them to make any sort of sue
cess OF standing on their legs.
ut was little after this that gave
small reception to few of the people;
whose acquaintance had made. Ono
of the first to arrive was a city official
Of high rank. Anxious, apparently. to
do the correct thing in my eyes, he seat-
ed himself on ONE OF the chairs, very
gingerly, it must be confessed, for lie
confined himself to the extreme front
edge, and looked as if he expected some
accident to happen at any moment.
When I handed him the tea and cake
which comprised the refreshments, he
took the cup in one hand and the plate
in the other. Then he sat there,
with his hands full, not know
ing what to do in order to be
free to eat, and looking thorough
ly miserable After minute or two of
this suspense, which must say / was
enjoying, he begged me in most dep
recating manner for permission to sit
in the fashion of his country. Ofcoursc
I hastened to grant it, and I shall not
soon forget the look of relief with which
be slid gently and gracefully to tho
floor. There he disposed his cup on
one side Of him and his plate of cake
on the other, and proceeded to eat alt1
drink in comfort. The later callers
took their cue from him and fought shy
of the foreign innovations also. Con-
sidering how the chairs looked, don't
know that / can blame them, but AIN
afraid that they would have treated
even the finest specimens of American
workmanship with the same distrust.' y

DRESS DESIGNS,
Full Effects the Ruling Idea i'm Skirts
and Waists.

Full Effects the Ruling Idea I'm Skirts
and Waists.
A square appearance for the shoulders
and long, tapering waist1ine is the fig-
ure now in vogue, and all models are
trimmed to simulate this even If the
wearers are not thus built originally.
This will explain the wild desire to
trim all bodices crosswise and the re-
turn of trimmed skirts for the latter
must appear TO properly balance the
overburdened shoulders.
Seven yards and a half of 42-inch
goods will make a girlish gown, OF
which the waist only is shown. The
skirt is Az yards wide and the round
waist opens invisibly at the back, with
gathers at the center of the waistline,
back and front.
Collar and belt of black satin and
revers on the former Of the blue cash
mere trimmed with black braid like
that on the wrists and corsage front.
The sleeves are Of close fit, with
short puff plated in the armsize.
Canvas, cashmere or any lightweight
fancy is appropriate for this costume,
with panels of silk, m.4re or velvet;
belt and vest to match. The bolero is
drawn in folds toward the armsize and
the close sleeves finished with drapery
held to the jacket with a buckle.
The collar shows buckle, for this
bit of ornament is very popular in
Paris. The edges of skirt and jacket
are finished with applique bands Of silk
embroidery on mousseline, a trimming
to be found in black and colored effects.
A six-gored skirt is prettiiy decorated
with narrow frills of the same figured
organdie having hemmed or laced
edges. The round waist bags trific
over the bek and is trimmed with sim
liar frills, which are gathered in the
center in a length and crosswise style.
Belt, long ends and collar OF taffeta
ribbon. Close sleeves broadening to
slight fullness at the top and trimmed
with frills around the width.
Such a design has also been dupli-

The Dreaded Grin Germs.

Sir Joseph Lister says ''the grip germ
is the smallest one yet identified" :"
Other physicians say it is dangeroHs to
GO into a large crowd where the grip is
prevalent, as it is so very contagious.
It may be taken from the clothing of q
patient months after il has been worn,
the germs settling in it and thriving.
"One should never think of kissing an
other who has even slight cold, let
alone tendency toward grip, says one
learned doctor-N. Y. Tribune.
