| was familiar In my mothers bedroom.

But when my eye fell upon the face

voluntarily, only just controlling an ex-
clamation of surprise. There was abso-
lutely nothing In the surroundings to
mark her as a lady, yet felt In a mo-
ment that she was one. There lay deli
cate refined face, white as the linen, with
beautiful lips almost as white; and n
mass of light, shining silky hair tossed
about the pillow; and large dark gray
eyes gazing at me beseechingly, with an
expression that made my heart leap as It
had never leapt before.

prepared to see any one like her, might
have succeeded; but was completely
thrown off my guard. There the charm

forehead tinted and the delicate mouth
contracting with pain; the bright silky
curs tossed about in confusion. | see it

Scenes from the Trial Illustrated Upon
French Coachman's Body.


French Coachman's Body.
AT least one person In Paris Will
never, as long as he lives, forget the
incidents Of the Dreyfus case, as he Is
a walking pictorial history Of that
cause celebre.
Some time ago he was In one of the
punishment companies In Africa, and
an artistic comrade killed time by tat
tooing him all over his body and legs
with no less than 100 Illustrations OF
prominent scenes In the case, including
portraits of the leading personages con-
nected with II and various allegorical
and emblematic devices as well. Black.
blue, red and green colors have been
employed and the work has been ex-
ecuted with much skill. One of the
surgeons of his regiment offered him
400 francs for his skin, explaining that
he could remove the surface without
pain or risk and that a speedy recoV-
cry would follow. The soldier, how
ever, preferred to keep his hide and the
sketches tattooed on 1t, and therefore
declined the offer.
SO, at least, he AYERS, and the wonder
full success of the performance, which
took about twenty months in the exc
cutiOn, is calculated to confirm the Idea
that the proposal may really have been
made. What may be styled the two
"pieees de resistance" are to be found
on the back and on the portion of the
body on the other slde which afforded
the most space for the flights Of the
artists genius. On the former the ter
rlble ceremony of degradation at the
Ecole Militalre is graphically depicted.
Three months were devoted to it. and

pointing out to the Inflated captain the
distant lie du Dlable.
The other ambitious production gives
the spectacle of the court-martial by
which Dreyfus was condemned. Above
IT, on the left breast, a dagger plerces
heart from which blood is flowing.
and on the other side Is beheld SER

The arms are chiefly dedicated to coun-

whose names were so much before the
public-Mercier Billot, Zurllnden, De
Boisdeffre, Gonse and so on-and also

Faure. Innumerable flags and other
patriotic emblems garnlsh the thighs
and legs, and there are other sketches
as well.

The brutality of.Man.

A correspondence full of eloquence
and a speaking moral has been brought
to light by trade journal in St. Paul.
The lady received the first letter, and
it read thus:
Dear Madam: l take pleasure in
shipping to your address a rug valued
at $50, for which shall be glad to re-
ceive your check. If you do not desire
the rug please return it. Very sincere
ly and so fOrth!'
THE ideaw exclaimed the indignant
woman, and thereupOn she sat down
and indited the following reply:
Dear Sir: I have ordered no rug
from your establishment, and | see no
reason why should go to the expense
of returning that which | do not want.
and which was sent to me unsolicited. I"
To this complaint she received the
following gently sarcastic rejoinder:
Dear Madam: | will send for the
unsolicited rug, and l trust you will
do me the favor to send for the unso-
licited charity tickets which now lie
with about twenty-eight others on my
desk. Very sincerely. and so forth"
THE discourteous boorl" shrieked the
lady.

An Artificial Man

A doctor has calculated how much IL
would cost to make an artificial man.
He estimated that pair of arms cost
800, or with the hands articulated cost
about $175; pair of legs, also articu-
lated, cost about $40; a false nose in
metal, from $50 to 500. For $130 he
believes that he could get pair of ears
just like natures handlwork, fitted
with artificial ear drums and resona-
tors. A complete set of teeth, with pal
ate in platinum, costs from $40 to 500,
and for good pair of artificial eyes
about $50 would have to be paid. Thus
the total cost of restoring a battered
veteran who has lost most Of his separ-
ate parts would be about 5000.
