A day or two passed before Mr. Cow- Icy and his nephew could put their valiant project into execution. Mean­ while the ladies found the house ex­ ceedingly dull. The two gentlemen were always closeted together. The weather was inclement; the box of books from Mudie's foiled to come; and, to crown the whole, Christmas was fast approaching, and they knew well that they ought to be in town. On the evening of the second day they were sitting together after tea. In Marjorie's little turret-room. Mr. Cowley and Charles were in the parlor, hatching some plot against the ghosts together, and Mfg. Cowley gave a tre­ mendous yawn. "So dull!" she exclaimed. "Rose, rftiiH do read something." / "Very well, mamma; here la the saw book papa brought the other night;" and the girl's eyes twinkled mischievously as she began: THE) DOCTOR'S STORY. On my eighteenth birthday I com­ menced the study of medicine, and, with a proud heart, placed my name upon the books of College. I had heard much of the vagaries and mad­ cap escapades of medical students, but. to my surprise, I found myself among a quiet and InteBlgent set of yoong men, who seemed much more in­ tent upon mastering the mysteries of the divine art of healing upon wrenching off knocker*, and who more inclined to mend bones to break them. As I was studl- oasly disposed also we got on well to- But ws had an original character demonstrator off anato- who was on the most friendly With many of his class. He was • dark, silent, unhappy looking man, to have a most singular repugnance for all the profession he had shiver if by chanoe leton in the leetnrs- pale over opera- kt In the dlsseeting- No one could toeen to study dgieussed the tv«s; and one e kail soon oonject- stadent asked him IXplpblank the very question we all "littpd' to hear answered. "Br- Le«, why do yon dislike these 'fcings so?" He was smoking; but he laid down his cigar, looking Very pale, yet seem- *ug willing to answer. "I will tell you why," he observed. 'Long after I had mastered the set* «*nce of anatomy, I received an invita­ tion one evening to attend a private meeting at the rooms of a *<--*»«tt a meeting where a line 'subject' would be dissected by the students alone. I went gladly. The corpse lay !aee downward on the floor, and they were trying to lift it on the frame I had placed in readiness. I assisted hem; and, as I did so, I fancied I felt % slight pulsation of the heart be­ neath my hand. But when we laid it on the board, I saw only a cold, pale .ace and a stiff and rigid form. It ras the face of a man some thirty-five years of age--dsrk and cold and proud. ?!ven the heavy hand of death could not erase the haughty curl of the lip or the settled frown upon the brow. His hair was long and, dark, but slight­ ly sprinkled with gray; so were the thick mustache and beard. His eyes were half-unclosed, and through the long lashes I could see that they had been black as night The careless 'hough rigid attitude in which he lay --the strong hand clenched, as if la tome spasm after death, and those large eyes half revealed, filled me with a nameless terror. It seemed as, if, though dead, he yet had the power to watch and understand our motions. Nad never seen a corpse that gave me such a feeling before. Upon his breast and face was the stain of blood, pointed it out to my companions. " 'Burled alive, most probably/ said one of them, carelessly, as he handled the scalpel. 'He must have struggled hard, for he Is a powerful fellow.' " 'Look at his hand,' said another, lifting it from the bench. 'It is clenched so that the ring cut Into the palm below. Buried alive! It Is as­ tonishing how people can be so care­ less now, when they have not even ignorance for an excuse. There is something in this face that unnerves. Mr. , can you not close those eyes?' " 'Nonsense! let the eyes alone--he can see the better that we do every­ thing right!' exclaimed the third. 'Are you all turning cowards oyer a dead body? Give me the sponge. Who be­ gins?' . " . "He sponged the blood away. I stood near, still looking at the face of the corpse. The sponge, by some strange chance, had been filled with ammonia Instead of water. The oper­ ator flung it carelessly upon the board close to the face of the corpse. In an instant, as the subtle vapor found its way upward, I saw a quick shudder pass through the limbs. The operator started away in terror. "'Good heaven! he Is alive!* he ex- claiteed, In a low, hoarse tone. "I bent over him. I bathed his pale face with water, and poured a cordial between his shut teeth. Life came back, but slowly and painfully. "He was quiet In my arms for a few moments; then, with a desperate ef­ fort he lifted his head, and took In the whole scene at a glance. The lighted skull--the shining instruments, and the careless ibices beyond--the love of life taught him what they all meant He was too weak to speak; but he groaned, and looked up in my face with those eyes--and they were brim­ ful of horror and despair. "'You will live!' I whispered. 'Drink this--It will revive you.' "I snatched a bottle from the shelf beside me, and held it to his lips. I thought it was a cordial--it was a deadly poison! "He drank, and fell back--dead this time beyond all hope of revival. But, as he died, he gasped out 'Tou have murdered me, and to the day of your own death I will haunt you!'" There was a long pause. "Gentlemen," said Dr. Lee, solemnly, "he has kept his word. Heaven is my witness that I would not have harmed him intentionally--but I killed him! and night after night he comes to me. I can hear him speak, and those dread­ ful eyes look into mine wherever I may go. My bitter repentance avails me nothing. He will always be beside me. This is the reason why my pro­ fession terrifies me. And yet some strange spell binds me here; I could not go if I would. I know well what the end will be. Some day he will ap­ pear to me--to all of you--as I saw him that unhappy night And then it will be my time to go." He ceased to speak, and It was a relief when, a few moments after, some one started a conversation of the most Imaginative kind. Dr. Lee listened as we talked, smoked his pine, but said nothing. We heard no more from that day of the vision that haunted him. His fits of silence and gloom grew less fre­ quent; he mingled more with the stu­ dents, and seemed in a measure to lose his dread of the deathly objects by which he was surrounded. One day, at the college, on my way to the dissecting-room. I opened the door of the great hall and looked in. It was empty and silent The rows of circular benches were deserted, but a •tray glove lay upon one of them; a faint and sickening smell of chloro­ form pervaded the place; and the foot of the suspended skeleton, whose grin­ ning face was turned toward me, dan­ gled to and fro, as If he was kicking it for his own amusement I shut the door, and left him to the solitude over which he seamed to chuckle. The air of the dissecting-room was never pure, but on that day it was pe­ culiarly fetdd and nauseating. The min­ gled odor of burnt flesh and muscles, stagnant blood, and a certain Inde­ scribable dead smell, such ss qpy one may ao|l^e on entering a room that Upon ike table lay a headlees body, the cm^ j^ the prime ** ing why the tMsfrlM' been removed.

Hurrying from the room, I met a classmate on the stairs. He looked pale and excited. "Hfcvoyou seen It?" be asked eagerly. "What?" "The body?" , §i! "Yes." "And the head?" C "No." "It Is the most singular thing--per­ fectly unaccountable. It quite a shock.

I pretended a severe headache, and asked him to accompany me on a long ramble in the country. He con­ sented, and we spent a long, happy day among the green fields and lanes. (To be continued.)

Far from being practiced only by Indies, this pretty Japanese art has among its devotees princes, scholars and other prominent men, who, having retired from the cares of political life, are In search of a hobby which will af­ ford not only amusement bnt will also offer Intricacies and obstacles worthy of their trained minds. The Japanese term for a flower--hana--also implies a blossom-clad stem, and even the stumps or branches of flowerless trees and shrubs; and their science of flower arrangements consists not only in grouping flowers, but more particu­ larly in grouping their leaves and twigs according to prescribed formulae. The blossom is looked upon as a minor detail in the artistic composition, and of very small value If separated from the parent stem, whose sweeping, though artificial, curves emphasizes its beauty. The whole science is, there­ fore, reduced to obtaining curves which, though really distorted, have the appearance of being true to na­ ture.--Pennsylvania Grit ^^|>tAVBLgB8' POO BAOfL flMrtrtwl reapte CM*t PH IMgl PlMM tO Fl»Mk A novel thing In travelers' equipment is the dog bag.

The dog bag is made in the form of what Is called in the trade a cabin bag. It has a box-shaped body with vertical sides and ends and with the top sloping. Obviously the cabin bag was the most desirable for this use, because with Its straight sides it afforded the most room Inside, and so gave the greatest oomfort to the dog. Made up as a dog bag one end of the bag is taken out entirely, and in place is set a wire screen. Sometimes both ends for greater ventilation are thus equipped.

They cause a demand that is always growing as regards quality no less than as re­ gards quantity. To meet this demand the llmbmaker, straining every nerve, finds himself turning out each year limbs that approach more nearly to perfection. The wooden leg of to-day Is a wonderful mechanism. While it is much like the real leg it does not equal the real leg in any respect, and alongside of a real leg it will always be seen to be a poor enough make­ shift. Yet, hidden under shoes and trousers or a skirt, it serves; it en­ ables its wearer to walk without a cane; It cannot be told from a natural leg. It seems. If you take it up and examine it. to be made of pink wax. It is made, as a matter of tact, of Bng>^ lish willow, strips of Bngitsn willow, coveted with rawhide that la enameled pink. It Is hollow, and It Is very light --from four to five pounds In weight The foot is always very delicate and small, the ankle slender, the^calf large and round--"a good leg," you would say, approvingly, of its shape. But tl|e foot has no toes; It ends In a solid strip. Suppose you have had your leg cut off above the knee. Tou will then require one of the most complicated wooden legs made* one with a joint at the knee and another at the ankle. Tou wait until your stump Is perfectly healed and healthy, and then you visit the wooden legmaker. The wooden legmaker takes a cast In plaster of the stump. He measures your rem lin­ ing leg carefully. "Return," he says, "In such and such a time." When you return the leg is ready for you A thick stocking, called a stump stock­ ing, Is put on your stump, and over that the leg fits much as a glove fits over a hand. The stump sets into the leg so that the weight falls on the sides, not on the end, of the stump, and thus soreness Is avoided. An ar­ rangement of straps about your shoul­ ders and breast holds the leg in place. Ton try to walk, and if you are tahly self-confident, you will walk well from the start You will be surprised to soe that somewhat, the knee and ankle of the wooden leg bend In harmony with the other knee «-nd ankle. When you sit down the wooden leg forms itself naturally into a right angle et the knee, and when you walk the foot flexes Itself on the ankle. What causes this? The joints work like the joints of a wax doll--easily, smoothly, firm ly. The foot, pressed on the floor, causes the ankle joint to work; the bent of the natural leg at the knee causes the wooden one to bend there In sitting down. Tou decide that you are not badly off, after ail, and pay $100 to the legmaker and depart Tour purchase will last you about five years. It will then be worn beyond remedy at the joints, and you will have to- get a new one. This *111 annoy you; you will have got accustomed to the old leg; the new one will not seem the same until it, too, will be abeut worn out In case of amputation be low the knee the wooden leg costs only |85, and no shoulder straps are required. A kind of leather drawer attached to the top of the leg, and laces up to the stump firmly. An artificial foot costs $45. A wooden legmaker said: "Only one In twenty are women. This Is because women lead sheltered lives, because they don't work on the railroads, In the mines, or among dan­ gerous machinery. Women, while they abhor false limbs for themselves, do not mind them on other persons. A woman will not hesitate to marry a man with a wooden leg. One of the prettiest women I ever knew married a man Who had two legs of wood, and she is happy. A man, on the other hand, would not marry a woman with a Wooden leg under any condition. That Is where men and women differ. Women are more spiritual and more unselfish than men. A person who wears an artificial leg will have a wonderful and beautiful development of the shoulders, bask and chest His waist will always remain Blim and eupple. I His figure, the older he grows, will apnrpeeh nearer and nearer to pertBCtlglk. This Is.because the man- sgement of the artificial leg falls to a tmneodous extent upon the muscles of the shoulders, back and chest, and these muscles are getting daily a mag­ nificent series of exercises. I know a young man with two wooden legs. He vpilta With a cane, and his depth through the chest, his breadth of back and the width of his shonlders, well set off by the sllmness of his waist eauses people on the street to turn and look atyer him with approbation. It Is Impossible to tell how many ar­ tificial limbs are made in this country in a year. There are three factories for their malting In this city, two or three in New Tork and one in Mil­ waukee.

Pictures of English women of wealth and posi­ tion usually display the entire con­ tents of their jewelry boxes, and their tiaras, stomachers and necklaces are frequently conspicuous enough to be serviceable as a means of identifica­ tion were they stolen, although thieves rarely dare to keep such things intact for even the briefest time.--Philadel­ phia Times.
