THE UNICORN.

Pliny, the Roman naturalist. out of
whose account of the unicorn most of
the modern unicorns have been de-
scribed and figured, records it as ga
very ferocious beast, similar in the rest
of its body to horse, with the head
OF q deer, the feet Of an elepbone, the
tail of boar, a deep believing voice
and n single black horn, two cubits in
length, standing out in the middle of
its forehead. He adds that cit can
not be taken alive" necessary in those
days for not producing the living ami
NAL upon the arena of the amphithea-
tre.
The unicorn seems to have been
sad puzzle to the hunters, who hardly
knew how to come TO so valuable a
piece of game. Some described the
horn as movable at the will OF the ami
NAL, kind of small sword, in short,
with which no hunter who was not ex-
ceedingly cunning in fence could have
chance. Others maintained that all
the animal's strength lay in the horn,
1T would throw itself from the pinnacle
of the highest rocks foremost so as to
pitch upon it, and then quietly march
off. not whit the worse for its fall
But it seems they found out how to
clrcumyent the poor unicorn at last
They discovered that it was great
lover of purity and innocence, so they
took the field with young virgin, who
was placed in the unsnspecting ad-
mirer's way. When the unicorn spied
her he approached with all reverence
and, laying his head in her lap, fell
asleep. The treacherous virgin then
gave signal, and the hunters made in
and captured the simple beast
Modern zoologists, disguised as they
may be with such fables as these. dis.
believe generally the existence Of the
unicorn. Yet there are animals bearing
on their heads a bony protuberance,
though it does not exceed a few inches
in height, and is far from agreeing
with the descriptions Of the unicorn
The nearest approach to the horn in the
middle Of the forehead is exhibited in
the bony protuberance on the forehead
Of the giraffe, but this also is short
and blunt, and is not the only horn of
the animal, but third horn standing
in front of the two others. In fine,
though it would be presumptuous to
deny the existence Of a one-horned
quadruped other than the rhinoceros, it
may be safely stated that the insertion
of long and solid horn in the living
forehead Of horselike or deerlike ami,
NAL is as near an impossibility as any
thing can be,-Bulfinch IS Age of Fable.

SPLINTERS IN SPINE.

An operation unique in the annals of
surgery was performed in st. Joseph IS
hospital on John Bradley, 80 years old,
of Franklin and Race streets, who was
injured in an elevator accident Novem.
Der is last. His spine and several ribs
were fractured, and when removed to
the hospital the physicians had little
hope for his recovery, as several pieces
Of the sp]iptered bone had been driven
into the spinal cord The operation was
for the purpose of removing these
pieces of bone, which were causing Il
condition of paralysis to exist in his
lower eXtremities
By careful nursing and attention the
physicians have caused Bradley S gen
eral condition to improve to such an
extent that except for the fact that he
has no power of movement In his legs,
his health was perfect. Several days
ago 1T was decided to operate, as the
doctors were convinced that otherwise
the man would be hopeless cripple
for the remainder of his life. Bradley
was anxious to go through the ordeal,
insisting that he would rather not live
than live paralyzed.
A more delicate operation can
scarcely be imagined, the physicians
say The slightest slip while the sur.
geon was extracting the pieces Of bone
from the mans exposed spinal cord
probably would have caused instant
death. The operation Is believed by
the physicians to have been a complete
success. All the splinters were re-
moved and it is thought when the
bruised tissue heals the patient will
have complete control of his legs

SHOES IN JAPAN.

Tan Pairs Q Year.

4 Man Will Wear Out From Eight -
Ten Pairs Year.
The shops and booths Of Japan are OF
unfailing interest. Here the gresngfo-
Ger and fruit seller has arranged nis
wares till it seems as though one look'
ed upon a great bouquet There tne
flower shop blages in brtlltance ana tns
lantern maker squats at bis multi
colored task. At the next entrance we
perhaps see a man seyering chicken
meat from the bone, and he performs
the operation as skillfully as the sur.
geon with his dissecting knife. -ef
and chicken are commonly sold In this
fashion.
Two or three PAGES farther on one Is
confronted with typical japanese
shoe store. All the footwear Of the Ut
tie brown man Is here on view. The
geta wooden clogs and straAv sandals
are indeed fanciful exhibition. They
line the benches, the floors. the shelves
They hang from above and seemingly
are everywhere, allowing the seller just
about enough room to squat on his
mat. The newcomer Is ut once star
tied Mt the immense quantity OF this
simple footwear and the many places
where 1t is sold, but he soon finds Il
solution to his query when he hears
that japanese man annually makes
away with from eight to ten pairs
Christian E2raid.
