Rex told Mr.. Meekn, who, the next
day, did him the honor to visit him,
that, under Providence, he owed his
escape from death to the kind manner
In which Captain Frere had spoken of
him"
81 hope your escape will be a warning
to you, my man." said Mr.. Meekin, "and
that you will endeavor to make the rest
Of your life an atonement for your early
errors"
Indeed l will, sir" said John Rex.
who had taken Mr.. Meekin's measure
very accurately, "and 1t is very kind
Of you to condescend to speak so to a
wretch like me. ALL sir, | wish l had

from all this"
"You might, indeed, poor man; but the

Rex-the penitent thief"

''I will speak to the authorities about
a change in your dietary scale" return
ed Meekin, patronizingly. "In the
meantime, just collect together in your
mind those particulars of your adven-
lures of which you spoke. Such a re-
marknble history ought not 10 be lost"

many honest contractors who really
want to do exactly what the plans and

cannot watch all the little details as
the building progresses. Besides this.
they are but human and are anxious
to see the work advance as rapidly as
possible. If they get the idea that
1t is satisfactory to the owner they are
not likely to spend their time or

OF the many formswhich rheumatisn1

Rheumatism is now generally -
cognized as disease Of the blood. DE-.

pure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs.
Thomas Bresnehan, Of - Mill sEese

according to the theory of the Ger
man surgeon. In the case of Lena
Wolff he believed the pancreas was
minus one very important digestive
essential, without which it could not
do its work properly. That very i'm
portant essential had to be supplied
by grating portion of a ductless
gland from another living person.
The child's mother readily offered
herself as a sacrifice She was per-
pectly willing to undergo the neces-
sarily painful and tedious operation of
having part Of her throat grated on
the body Of her little daughter II only
it would give Lena her reason.
The operation took place in one of
the large hospitals in Berlin, and by
the grating process one end of the
mothers thyroid gland was released
and stretched over to the exposed pan
crease of her idiot daughter.
For days neither motherr nor child
was permitted to move. To insure a
successful grating operation they
had been tightly bound together, the
child's body against her mothers neck,
and there they remained until the
severed end of the thyroid gland had
knit firmly to the pancreas, forming a
living, pulsating link between mother
and daughter. Then the link was cut,
leaving portion Of the thyroid gland
grated successfully to the child's
pancreas It Is believed now that
both mother and child will recover.
TIE complete success Of the opera
ton, cannot, however, be announced
yet, as too short = time has elapsed
since the operation was performed.
First Dawn Of Reason.
But 1t is known that the dawn Of
reason came to little Lena Wolf al
most Immediately after the thyroid
gland began to knit. For the very
first time the idiotic stare gave place
to q look of intelligence. She may
grow up to be q very bright young
woman.
DR.. Swale Vincent, professor of
physiology in the University of Mani
toba, at Winnipeg, Canada, has pre-
pared an extremely interesting Article
on the duties of the thyroid gland. the
pancreas and other ductless glands,
which appeared in a recent issue OF
the London Lancet.
"It is believed" he says, that these
ductless glands manufacture and pour
directly or indirectly into the blood
stream some substance or substances

an incision IN the coraea made at the
top. Pushing the points down through
the pupil, with the sharp blade he
punctured the Opaque membrane OF
the lens capsule and cut 1t sQuarely
in two. The task of the surgeon was
to cut so delicately and precisely as
to divide the obstruction and let the
light into the eye again.
The operation was entirely success

the eye and on either side Of the pupil

yet be seen. This in time may be alb

Some Surgical Marvels.
Philadelphia and Toledo, Ohio, have
recently contributed to the list of
marvels of surgery through operations
on the brains of incorrigible and men
tally defective boys. A still more re-
cent case Is that of Carl Fredericks,
aged nine years, of No. 200 Clinton
street. Hoboken. He is under observa-
ton at the Railway Reformatory prep
aratory to the practical reconstruction
of his brain.
The doctors say the boys brain 10
so peculiarly constructed that it pre-
vents him from being good for more
than an hour at a time. The head is
Of abnormal shape, the skull coming
to point.
Tests made a few days ago showed
that the boy had no sense Of right or
wrong. This is attributed to an alb
normal brain growth. As result of
the operation, which includes the cut
ting out of certain parts Of the brain.
it is expected to relieve the boy of his
wicked tendencies and transform him
into model youth.

ing the problem Of making us over

The house is "a feet wide. which is

The fancy octagon cut dimension

much to the finish.
The final finish of the front is the

longer than usual, feature that lends
an air of Importance, while the design

It sometimes is desirable to get all
the house possible for the money ex-
pended. Where the family is quite
large and the income limited, it is de-
sirable to have at least four bedrooms,
and, to balance up the house proper
", this requires four living rooms,
thus making an eight-room house. This
design is calculated to meet just such
conditions. The house might be con-
sidered severely plain outside, but for
the manner in which the front gable
lis designed and finished.
Straight roofs with gable ends are
the cheapest roofs made and the most
satisfactory for many reasons, one OF
which is ventilation. With q small
window In each end of the roof 1t Is
easy to change the air continually, but
cottage roof, which usually slopes

tons, forms q pocket which holds q
roof full Of stagnant hot air unless
some kind of ventilator Is provided to

Roof gables have probably given
builders more anxiety than any other
one feature. No one wants house

gable end to the road, but that is
what this house would look like ex-

just exactly fits its setting. "A study
