LONG MOURNED AS DEAD.
Frenchman Thought Lost on Martin
ique Visits Surprised and
Happy Relatives.

The French papers relate curious
romance. Jean Marie lie Floidec was
mourned as a victim of Mont Pelee,
for he was visiting Martinique at the
time of the eruption. His brother and
sister live at MaisonsLafitte, and the
other evening the latter was seated
at the piano in her sitting room, when
she suddenly found herself clasped in
the arms of an unknown intruder, who
burst into the room covered with dust
and having all the appearance of long
travel Her shrieks brought her broth
er rushing into the room. and he COM
pleted her amazement by falling into
the embrace Of the stranger. Then the
explanations came. The intruder was
no other than the brother who for
years had been mourned as dead. He
had succeeded In getting on board a
ship bound for Australia. Thence he
made his way to Japan, and during the
war with Russia practiced blockade
running with such success that he made
a million. This crown Of his labors
had left him time for thoughts oI
home and kindred.

ERA OF BIG THINGS.
Skill and Talent Command Greater
Rewards Than Ever in
Worlds History.

In these days the surgeon who Il
master OF his science receives fees
which would hav3 startled the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee OF
10000 is not uncommon for an op-
GRAFTON which can be performed in
comparatively little time. or course.
10000 Is not the maximum fee.
There are cases, it is stated, in
which as much as $25 900 has been
paid. When life is hanging by a
thread the question of fees is i'm.
material. The average man will give
all that he has, II required to get a
new lease Of life through the sur
geon's skill. A famous throat spe-
cialist was once summoned from
London to treat the father OF the
present kaiser. He remained only .
few days after making a diagnosis
He rendered no bill, but it is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half years
earnings OF the specialist, who had q
very large income from his profess
sion. Even the literary man receives
large fees for his work Mr. John
Morley, 1t has been stated, was paid
$4,000 to write the Life Of Glad

talent never commanded greater re-
wards than they do now. 1t is an era

Misdirected Energy,

Frances, girl of 13, was destined
by her mother to be fine musician.
While still a little child she was
taught to read the notes, and her
tiny fingers were placed on the key

child was obliged to practice. and
she acquired a measured amount OF
skill. but her playing was wooden
and spiritless. In DESPAIR. her moth.
