Sacrificed All for Hobby.

At Ivry, Paris suburb, has just died
a remarkable old man, a septuagenar-
ian, named Fraissard. He died in poe-
erty, but had he chosen he could have
become one Of the most famous Euro
pean sculptors. AS it was, he finished
life as he began it-more or less pen
hiless. When boy he was appren-
ticed to a marble cutter, and he at
once discovered his powers in this .di-
rection. For fifty years he had contin-
ned to execut the most beautiful works
of art, mostly in mosaics. M. Frais-
sard's masterpiece took him nearly
Fwenty-four years to perfect. 1t is a
black marble table. In the middle is
a chessboard, on either side Of which
are playing cards arranged as fans. On
the table are dominoes and dice, Gig
ars and cigarettes, and sevral coins in
gold and silver. All these are, Of
course, inlaid. The materials in the
table, beside the black marble, are
agate, onyx, porphyry, malachite and
lapis lazuli, the tones Of which are
black, red, orange, blue and white
Ninety different kinds of marble were
also used.

EIopcd by Aeropiane,

An elopement by aeroplane which
has yet some features of the old-time
uelopement is reported from Mort,
France
Two months ago a good-looking
young airman was giving exhibition
flights at Mort A pretty governess
fell in love with him and begged him
10 take her up in his aeroplane. A few
days later the airman eloped with her
in the machine, and did not descend
antil he reached Issy, ESQ miles away.
The girls father has now lodged a
complaint against the airman, whom
ne accuses of having abducted his
daughter and detained her against her
will The governess, when she ap-
peared before the police commissary,
said that she had eloped with the air
man of her own free will and declared
that she would be eternally grateful to
him for flying away with her. She add
ed that, as she was Of age, she was
free to do as she pleased.
The fathers complaint was dis
missed.

Combating the Chiaaer.

The chigger is red, six-legged mite
so small that it can scarcely be- seen
with the naked eye. In certain focali-
ties all over the corn belt it is abun-
dant from the middle of June until late
in August. 1t seems to be especially
common in wood land and on berry
bushes. 1t is naturally vegetarian, and
when it causes pain to chickens and
children, it is not because it is search
ing for blood. In fact, entonlologists
tell US that the chiggers which burrow
into the skin, causing red welts, be-
cause Of the poison which they ex-
crete, by 80 doing destroy themselves.
No very effective method of combat
ing the pest has yet been devised.
Washing in hot water and then apply
ing kerosene to the affected parts will
do some good. Another good wash is
one part Of pure crystals Of carbolic
acid in fifty or one hundred parts Of
water.-Wallaces Farmer.

she 30 far forgot princely dignity as

DR.. Mary Ellis Patrick Of Boston.
president Of the American College
iHor Girls in Constantinople. who ia
now in this country, says that she
finds Turkish girls apt pupils and
very anxious to learn. AS many wom-
zen are now being called to take the
places of men who have fallen in
battle, tho value Of an education is
better appreciated than ever before.
To-day there are several thousand
FMohammedan girls and women at
tending the university. One of the
girls who left the school less than a
year ago is now chief editorial writer
on the Tannin, the leading Young
Turk publication. She has written
two novels dealing with the political
situation in Turkey.

it comes to bear. Let Mr.. Bear start

"The first night after we got to

in and told how he had killed q bear
with his hunting knife after desper

into a chasm where the hunter couldn't
get him.
Another came in and said he had
killed the biggest mountain lion he
ever saw, but the lion had jumped
over a cliff.
"A third expert came in and said
that he had seen a bear carrying of
the other two members of the party

for me that had stayed in camp that
day.

"Oh, I killed the BEAR" said the
sportsman. "As soon as I saw how
badly scared the other fellows were J

A small dog awoke from state
of coma recently, moved his left
hind leg vigorously, and by that
simple sign of life and activity
possibly made undying fame in
the world of surgery for DR.. Mil
ton Francis Clark, heretofore cell
ebrated only as the medical rep
resentative of the King of Greece
in San Francisco.
BY moving his left hind leg
vigorously the small dog placed
himself in the class of finely jew
eled timepieces, for in place of
the heel joint which nature had
given him, he was using a ball
and socket joint of silver with
pivots of real diamonds, which
Dr.. Clark had substituted in his
surgical laboratories.
In substituting the mechanical
joint in the dogs leg the San
Francisco surgeon has gone far
Their than any of his daring pre-
decessors, who have limited them
selves to the transplanting or
grating of living bone and tissue.
All of the tendons, nerves,
veins and arteries were left in
tact by DR.. Clark, the silver joint
being riveted to the end of the
long bones left exposed by saving
