Odd Experience of Medical Missionary

Odd Experience of Medical Missionary
With n Native Desiring Treatment.
Probably the oldest case within my expert
ence was that OF Lapuis. who made himself
known to me- through the use OF a detached
piece Of his own skull" said medical mis-
sionary on a furlough from his work among
the heather. I'VE have all sorts OF patients as
soon as the people get to know u.s. In fact
there IL a rush to get the benefits OF our medl.
cine. which fear tho heather regard as some
very potent magic. II our evangelical work
wore Of the same sort OF SUCCESS that our med
ical work is. l should expect the millennium.
But about Lapue. One morning l went
out to look over the specimens OF real or fau-
c;ed injury which were awaiting treatment.
There was pretty nearly every kind OF tropical
disease 10 tho OUTFIT from sore finger to dropsy.
Most OF The patients were we'll known to me.
but amouE than was one man whose face was
unfamiliar aud who seemed 10 belong to q Diff
feren, tribe. Az | stopped at his place no
eapei &c mis- feet as aedveiy as a cat and from
somewhsr, IN his scanty apparel dug up an
object which he promptly handed to me. 1t
was circular piece Of human aku. as big
around az a dollar and very nearly a. thick.
On the outer surface some one had carefully
written in Ink the name Lapuis. This must
be. think the first case ia which man has
used part OF his own skull instead OF a visiting
card.
Il looked the man over at once to find out
what the trouble was. He had had some sort OF
difference OF opinion with his chiefs and as
a result Of such presum ption had received a
stout clubbing. One ofthe blows had fractured
the skull and for the time had Knocked him
ont When tho old women who look alter the
science OF medicine among tn ,se particular
heather got hold OF Laruie they found that a
part OF his SIX ull was loose To save difficulty
they pried the loose piece of with the blade OF
II knife. poulticed up the wound. and let nature
do tho rest. The patient kept the chip OF his
skull and the inscr ption on 10 was the work OF
some passing trader.
when the case came under my notice. there
was scarcely more than the thickness OF a
piece Of parchment lett Of the skull over the
brain. and the wound had practically healed.
II turned out that Lapue bad not made the
long journey from his distant home TO see me
because this degree OF damage troubled him.
He had the idea that the piece OF the skull
should be set hack in place and he seemed TO
have great conhdenc Elm my ability to do It. II
was a great disappointment to him that his
skull chip could not be stuck back. Although
did all that surgical science prescribes for the
protection OF the thin spot In the Uranium, my
patient kept harpinR on the fear that he might
| loso his fragment OF hone which might fall into
| improper hands and thus play the mischiei
| with him. The only way to pacify him Was Ia
string the chip on copper wire and solder II

Major said l had done II seems from what he told
me that sho was the daughter of the Brigadier-
General That she was both dream and pearl.
Incredible as II sounds she loved me with all the
ardor OF her pure and passionate nature. She had
often spoken ti1aidly 70 me- the Major said She
had called TO me In the watches Of the night but
had not answered. As for me, l had heard'a voice
so lne that nothing stands between II and silence
Therefore was unaware OF the interest that had
aroused In that beautiful and tender papier- ache

lay In the fact that In throwing myself on the
lounge Ihsd crushed In the beauteous form which
Ibid not know was there. How far the damage ex
tended was unable 70 discover without the assist
ance OF the Major who informed me that had
mashed the poor thing entirely out Of shape: that
she had left the crying bitterly but with tho
forgiving spirit Of a true woman had kissed her
hand to me ere she departed Her name, the Maior
said, was Imogeno.
Twas too deeply moved at having crushed her TO
ask the Major how a lovely paper maiden, who took
no liquid refroshment, could shed tears or what the
effect would be upon her damask check. Hitherto
/ had known OF her the only lady member Of the
Silent Club I never dreamed that she loved me
The glow Of pleasure the knowledge occasoned
was tempered with grief at having crushed her.
There must havo boon splendid possibilities in my
paper sweetheart

diate presence In New York and was obliged To
leave Mai Harriet In other hands That they were
good hands Is shown by the fact that he rapidly
recovered his health. Some months later I met

anxiety, mingled with hope.

Dead Mems Bones.

The most grewsome apartment in Americais probably the demonstrator' room in the Flower hospital in New York, with it's fantastic decorations of dead mems bones.
 The name of the room is spelled above the door in letters made of finger bones. Upon the wall within appears in the same grewsome lettering the names of Dr. Howard $. Neilsome and Dr. North way Meyer demonstrators Besides these legends sits a grinning human skull.
 Crossing and recrossng the room strings of bones interlace. Ribs alter mates with the slender bones of fingers and toes. Up and down the walls, like gbastly white serpents, crawl coils of yerterbrae. Arm and leg bones with highly polished surfaces are hung on the eupboards
 Everywhere the eye turn8 in this curious channel house sympols of nor tality start into relief But it is on the large table against the south wall that death veritably sits enthronad, In the middle, heaped into a mound, bones from all parts of the human frame are surmounted by skull. Here hand. there 6 crippled foot, a eranium hol- lowed into a drinking cup-oddities of all grisley shapes surrounded the mound
 In chair to the right sits a skele- in leisurely attitude, leaning one arm upon the table as he watches the skeletons over which the sunlight dances.

Nansen Owns and Cherishes One of
 the Wonders of the World.
 One day wonderful bird tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen's home at Ghristiania. Instantly the window was opened and the wife of the famous Arctic explorer in another moment cov- cred the little messenger with kisses and caresses. Ehe carrier pigeon had been away from the cottage 30 long months, but it had not forgotten the way home. It brought note from Nansen stating that all was going well with him and his expedition in the polar regions.
 Nansen had fastened a message to a carrier pigeon and turned the bird loose. The frail courier darted out into the biiZzardy air. It flew like an arrow over a thousand miles of frozen waste, and then sped forward over another thousand miles of ocean and plains and forests, and one morning entered the window of the waiting mistress and de- fyered the message which she had been awaiting so anxiously.
 We boast of human pluck, says the New York Mail and Express, sagacity and endurance, but this loving little carrier pigeon, in it's homeward flight after an absence of 30 months, accom- plished a feat so wonderful that we can only give ourselves up to the amaze ment and admiration which must over- whelm everyone when the marvellous story is told. Mrs. Nansen's pigeon is one of the wonders of the world.
