the large pillars arches had been con-

charge of Miss Lucy Francisco of the
music department of Earlham college.
She was assisted by Miss Hecker, vio-

Francisco is gaining a remarkable
reputation in music circles of this city

Having focused the machine and
set it running, he proceeded to kill
himself. The films are perfect,

man being faithfully depicted.
He is shown looking for chair,
seating himself on it>and loading
his revolver, remaining while in
thought before his mirror, and then
suddenly starting up and blowing
out his brains.
These last pictures are of an in

the awful scene in all its tragic
details,

consequences in the case of morbid

MIRACLES IN SURGERY.
Dead Mans Knee Joint Trans.
ferred to a Living Person.

The wonders Of experimental sur
gerry accomplished at the Rockefel-
Ter Institute of Medical Research,
New York city, were outlined yes
tterday before the opening session
of the American Philosophical Soci-
ETY. in much greater detail than they
have ever before been given to the
public.
Among the latest achievements OF
science described by DR.. Alexis
Carrel was the TRANSFORMING of one
dogs leg onto another dogs body.
The fox terrier patient rapidly as
sumed normal control of the new
leg, which was taken from a dead
dog, and within three weeks the
wound showed only a scar and the
dog was up and around on all fours.
The transplanting of cats kid
neyS into other cats, even after the
organs have been in cold storage
sixty days, has proven entirely
successful. Human arteries and
jugular veins have been enterchan-
ged and the patients have been I'M
able to tell the difference.
Application of the experiments
performed on dogs and cats to the
regeneration of ailing humanity is,
in the opinion of DIR. Carol, entire
ly possible. Already the knee joint
from the leg of dead man has been
used to replace the injured joint on
a living person. A woman too
weak to undergo major operation
has had her arteries joined to those
of her husband and with the added
strength of her husbands circula-
ton and heart action has success
fully undergone the shock Of the
surgeons knife and survived an
operation under which she. would
have otherwise died.

Husbands.

Husbands are the natural product
of most civilized countries. They
are plentiful in most of the United
States of America, being searcest in
Utah and Massachusetts, where
each lady owns but fraction of a
husband, or none at all. Those
owning no more than a morbid in
terest in husband are called old
maids.
Although the best husbands in
this country are acknowledged by
experts to be indigenousto the soil,
those commanding the highest mar
ket prices are the imported varie-
ties. because of their expensive
labels, The Crown brand brings
the largest figure.
The husband is wary and elu-
sive animal, fleeing for safety at
the first noise like a skirt to his lair
in the clubs, offices and other re-
mote caves of his habitat; but he
may be cajoled forth by an appear
ance of indifference on the part of
the trapper, as his curiosity can al
ways be aroused by the strange
creature who could remain immune
to~his charms; after which he may
be easily caught anywhere in broad
daylight Though white night light
for moon calcium is preferable. in
a trap composed of frou-frou, tall
cum, golden locks and flattery.
There is a tradition to the effect
that the. earliest husband-catcher
was a clumsy continuance made of
fine thanksgiving attached to a
spinning wheel, decorated with
homemade preserves put up in a
syrup Of sweet disposition and seal
ed in common sense jars.
Once secured with matrimonial
halter tied in a diamond hitch, the
husband usually becomes quite
tame and will eat from the hand
and sign checks at will. There are
more than fifty-seven varieties of
husbands at large and in captivity,
but they are broadly classed as
good and bad, by their respective
owners or keepers called wives.

Their Marks.

"The seal or signet ring" said a
jeweler, 'fonce had very practical
use. In the Middle Ages. when
nobody but the priests could write,
men stamped documents with their
signet rings, as the illiterate now
make their marks.
"The signet rings Of mobiles bore
the owners crest or arms. The
rings of the. merchants bore intri-
cate monograms, trade marks, or
the like. There are certain old
continental firms that preserve in
cabinets the seal rings worn by their
