Like a Boys Pocket,

A most remarkable case of g~astron.
omy for foreign bodies of the stomach
was described at a meeting Of the
Academic de Medicine. The patient.
a youth Is years old, had entered the
st. Joseph's Hospital for Epilepsy. He
had had melaena, and a rather sharp
pain accompanied by crepitation in
the left hypochondrium. The opera.
ton was performed in June, and the
following bodies were removed
through an orifice Of two and a half
centimeters: Eight teaspoons, from
3 to Is centimeters long; a three
pronged fork. a letter file II centime-
tiers long. two sharp points; a needle.
g centimeters long, a knife blade 8
centimeters long, a piece of comb Z
centimeters long. and a key. There
were in all twenty-five bodies. weigh
Ing 230 grams. The stomach did not
seem to have been affected, and the
patient recovered completely.-Paris

TRAFFIC IN HUMAN HAZE,
Regular Markets in Many Parts Of the
World.


Wearing false hair Is a very wide
spread custom. In the language Of
the tradesman, hair grown on the
heads Of northern nations Is the most
valuable, both because of its superior
%fineness and gloss and it's color. Ger
many and Sweden provide the most
valuable hair, especially If 1t be
golden blonde, which is Of the finest
texture and of a color impossible to
obtain by artificial dyes. Italy and
other southern nations produce only
coarser and less costly varieties. Most
precious Of all, however, is hair of a
true silver-gray color, which, in suffi-
GENTLY long plaits, Is almost impos-
sible to procure, chiefly from the fact
that its very rarity causes those wom-
en- lucky enough TO possess it to re-
fuse to part with it. The most con-
slant supply Of human hair for the
worlds market, however, comes from
the peasant girls in countries such
as Russia and Galicia, where immedi-
ately after marriage a ~headdress is
assumed which makes the lack of its
natural covering u~nnoticeable. In Bo-
hemia, Noravia and Galicia there are
regular hair markets to which the
women bring their hair for sale.

The "Black Cat" lay peacefully In
a bay that was, to all appearance.
from Rob's point of view on deck.
completely surrounded by water. 1t
was evidently a deep bay, with a wind
ing entrance, SO that the great river
could not be seen from it, and the an
chorage of the schooner could not be
seer from the river. The water was as
smooth as glass. The shores Of the
bay, nearest the schooner, were low
and gradually sloping. Near the wa
ter's edge there was a long line OF
sand. Above and beyond this there
was higher ground, with plentiful YER
dure, Towering plants and trees.
But it was not the natural beauty
Of the place, great as it was, that at
tracted Rob's attention.
There were, plying from schooner to
shore and back again, three or four
boats, manned by men as black as
negroes, stripped to the waist and
straining at the paddles till the perspi-
ration glistened on their skin. These
boats were not like the small boats Of
the BLACK Cat" They were large,
fiat things, evidently used for convey
ing goods from the vessel to the shore.
And that is just what these men were
doing.
Rob had paid some attention to po-
litical matters, and while studying in
school about various South American
republics, had also taken up the con-
stitution of each, and the points OF
difference in their governments. He
had read the tariffs Of all, and recalled
the fact that there was a large duty on
tobacco and rum in the Argentine Re-
public. There was an odor of tobacco
in the air, and Rob was not long in
reaching the conclusion that these men
were engaged in the dangerous busi-
ness of smuggling tobacco and rum
into the country without paying this
duty.

Race horses. I mea thoroughbreds,

l remember one l trained some years
ago-a horse. / mean, of course. He
was a great one. and few OF them
could show him the way in. Yet that
fellow couldn't be exercised in pre-
pairing him for a race unless the boy

about it. either, for he knew Just as
well whether the boy was fully dress
ed as we did, and If he wasn't you
couldn't get the old fellow on the
track. But when the boy put on the
buds, why, the old horse would go
out and do all that was wanted Of
him.
Then there was another that l had
that wouldn't associate with other
horses, and the consequence was that
we had to train him by himself.
Actually had to wait every time until
every other horse was of the track.
Then, when he had the whole track to
himself, we had all we could do to
get him of when we thought he had
been given enough. This same one we
had to send to the post by himself.
and when we got him there we had
to keep him away to n side. of from
the bunch. Another one I had was
just the opposite, for he wouldn't 60
on the track, either for exercise or for
a race, unless he was accompanied BY
another horse.
Then there Is the horse that runs
true as long as he is in the lead, but
will stop and give up the fight the
moment another one gets near him
or passes him. On the other hand.
there is the horse that tries all the
harder as long as he is behind. Then
there is the horse that will not try IL
the jockey has a whip, while there
are others that will not try unless
they are given both whip and spurs.

was clean and comfortable.
"Sleep!" said the captain. Tomor-

Wondering what the captain meant,
our hero lay down on the bed, and,
though he wept a little. and was much
troubled, the youth could not be kept
from slumber, and he was soon asleep.
When, after a sleep that was ONE

awoke and went on deck. the schooner

river.
