Vet, if they had followed him out of

they would have observed that his

Artificial Limbs.

The manufacture of artificial limbs
is of very ancient origin The grand
father of Catiline i'll early life lost his
right hand in battle but made himself
an iron substitute with which he could
handle sword or lance. About fifteen
years ago tomb was opened ut Ca
pua, which contained Il remarkable
specimen OF well-made artificial leg.
1t was composed of thin sheets OF
bronze, riyetcd together, and fastened
to "a wooden core. Iron bars connected
the leg with a bronze belt round the
waist of the skeleton, and there were
traces of wooden foot. The iron hand
of G0tz Won Berlichingen is historic
but among the German. knights of his
time there is record of one who had
an iron foot which weighed nearly ten
pounds ana with this pedal extension
he could kick SO hard that his servants
finally stole it and threw 1t into the
Rhine. He had n second made which
shared the fate of the first, and he
then contented himself with foot
made of German oak. The servants
and retainers of his castle did not ap-
parently mind being kicked with an
oaken foot, but they drew the line AT

bad results of such orders falling into
the hands of the enemy cannot be over
estimated.
Had the French during the siege of
Paris by the German army employed
such methods they could have sent
messages over the heads of the enemy
right into the hands of friends The
confederates could have signaled over
the Union lines in the Civil War at the
assault on Fort Fisher, while at the
investment of Fort Morgan, after Far
ragut's fleet had passed inside, and the
fort was entirely cut off from the Con-
federates, the latter could have sent
dispatch bombs over the Federal lines

cepted.

A BANK STORY.
An Incident that Startled the OLD Lady
of Threadneedle Street.


Some years ago the directors Of the
Bank of England were startled to receive
an invitation TO meet an unknown man
in the strong room OF the bank at MO,
night. You think you is all safe hand

the next night in spite of disposition 10
regard the letter as hoax by ponce anu
nothing happened.
The next phase of the mystery was
more astonishing than ever. A heavy
chest of papers and securities taken from
the strong room arrived at the bank, with
a letter complaining that the directors
had set the police upon the writer, and
that he had, therefore, not appeared as
neither thief nor a fool he sent chest
of papers he had taken from the bank.
Let a few gentlemen be alone in the
room and he would join them at mid
night, said the writer, and to cut short
long and strange chapter of bank his
tory, man with a dark lantern burst
into the strong room of the bank at mid
night after calling from behind the stone
walls for the directors to put out the
lights. He was one of a strange class of
men who gained living by searching the
sewers at night, and through an opening
from Il sewer he had found his way into
the richest room in the world.-St. James

SANITY Weather Prorheta.

In the reign of Henry VIII. a procla-
nation was issued against almanac max
ers encouraging the belief in saints rui-
ing the weather, says the London Chron-
icle Of November %. Notwithstanding
this and similar efforts to explode a pop
lar notion, certain saints days are, how
ever, still supposed to assist in what
may be called long-distance forecasts. ST.
Catherine, whose festival falls on No
yember 20, is such saint. for las at
Catherine, foul or fair, so will be the
next February" Yesterday there was
all sorts of weather, the elements being
under the control of a gale that was
clustering in the West. naios, too,
have recently been seen round the moon,
so that the omens for a fair ST. Cathe-
rine.s day was not very satisfactory.

My DEAR FRIEND wish to thank
you for sending me the booklet on the

and to congratulate you on the very
great honor which the event implied.
The occasion certainly furnished you
40 small amount OF satisfaction. as
the gift was evidently testimonial of
long years devoted to the Knights
Templar of Indiana
1t is pleasure to me to read of this
ceremonial and also to read the text
of your address, which gives glimpse
of the field in which you have worked
like Roman.
Decorations in the Legion of Hon.
or, the Golden Fleece and the la
giles" of various kinds are frequently
easy to obtain by means of what is
known as 'sinfiooence, but the one
which you received at the hands Of
your brother Knights was of the
earned" variety.
Thanking you for thinking OF me
in this affair, have the honor is re-
main. eyer sincerely,

raise the price on the trees, the deal

The holly wreath has come to be
regarded as an essential to Christmas
decoration. The plant is one that
does not spoil and the branches are as
Salable after three weeks or month
as they were the day they were re-
ceived. For this reason the holly
crop in the cities is large one. The
people Of wealth use holly as much as
do the poor, or those of moderate
means. They like it. although it is
cheap and common.
