ARTIFICIAL_LIMBS.
Perfection to Which the Mechanical
Arm Hat Been Brought.
.T'ary are making artificial limbs with
such perfection today that a technical
observer who is also an enthusiastic
baseball "fan” declares that he would
uot be surprised to see In the not far dis
tant future some wooden armed pitcher
making a good record. What is known
as "glass arm" would be effectively su
perseded by "wooden arm.”
Though this Is a daring lenp of the
imagination, which, however, need not
worry the perfectly good armed pitch
ers of the big leagues, still some of I he
things that can be done with artificial
arms are simply amazing. Here you
see a man lighting a cigar and with a
naturalness of action and pose which
would deceive the casual observer.
The mechanism ts controlled hy cer
tain motions of the stump of the flesh
nnd*blood arm, and no little knock is
necessary to the successful working of
the artificial member, and yet withal
it Is not very difficult to acquire.
It is said that the man who Is light
ing his big cigar can pick a pin from
(lie floor without difficulty, hot it is
uot on record that he can give the
“pep" lo a ball so that It will speed
by the batter like a projectile from a
high powered gun. As a matter of
fact, lie is thoroughly satisfied with
the many very necessary things that
eon he done with the mechanical arm
without venturing afar into the luxu
ries aud excitement of outdoor sport.—

WOMEN OF EUROPE.
An Italian Critic Says Those of Spain
Are the Most Beautiful.
A celebrated Italian writer of Flor
ence lias been favoring the world with
his opinion of some of the women of
Europe, lie considers only four na
tions, and of these he selects Spain as
most worthy of the crown for feminine
beauty. He says:
"The Spanish woman is bewitchiugly
beautiful. Sbe has small hands and
feet and large eyes like the open win
dows of a sunburnt marble palace, a
figure full of grace and life and long
dark, wavy hair. She is very religious,
very ignorant, very Jealous, very sen
sitlve and very proud.”
Of the British woman he says: "Her
I hair is like gold. She has heavenly eyes,
a peach like complexion, a delicately
formed nose and good teeth. She is
reserved, very nctive and generally a
slave to etiquette.”
As to the Frenchwoman he Is less
complimentary. It Is thus that lie de
scribes her: "She Is a cat and a ser
pent, a palm and a violet, and when
she Is not pretty she ts charming. She
Is amiable, a dreadful coquette and
generally false.”
His summary of the Russian woman
Is that she is “of an oriental type which
had been prematurely transported Into
Europe. Ill her are combined tbe ex
traordinary charms of a savage and the
civilized womuuPearson’s.
Vicissitudes of Warsaw.
No city in Europe has known so
many changes of musters as Warsaw
Founded about the year 850, it was
capital of the independent dukedom of
Mnzovi.nil the fifteenth century,
when it was annexed by Poland. In
the seventeenth century its possession
was contended for by Sweden, itns
sia. Austria and Brandenburg, until,
in 179-1 Kttssin practically annexed it.
; In 1795 the city was handed over to
j Prussia, but Napoleon occupied it in
I,still, and at the peace of Tilsit War
! saw was proclaimed an independent
duchy, in ISO!) the Austrians seized
the city, but lost it again, and after
another brief spell of independence
the city passed finally to Itussiu in

Sonne Valuable Pearls.
Of nil the articles of luxury known
to the Homans pearls were most val
ued. They were woru by all classes.
The famous pearl earrings which be
longed to Cleopatra are said to have
been worth $800,000, and Julius Caesar
presented the mother of Brutus with
a pearl for which he paid $240,000. It
has been said that one of the reasons
why Julius Caesar Invaded Britain
was the wish to become master of the
pearls which were supposed to abound
there, u surmise Incorrect, for few
pearls of value have been found In
Great Britain.
Why They Settle.

Husband-They couldn't afford to be

BREATHING IN THE GERMS.
Where Short Person* Have an Advan
tage Over Tall Ones.
Statistics reveal the fact that short
persons are less liable to the different
diseases which go the rounds among
humanity than those who are taller
and seemingly more susceptible to con
tagion.
Like every other fact, there Is a rea
son for this.
Many of the different diseases are
due to impurities In the atmosphere we
breathe.
in factories, workshops, depots, curs,
schools, churches, oiiice buildings and
in thousands of living apartments
where humanity In numbers is in the
habit of collecting there is more or less
liability of some one or more persons
having in some degree or other some
of tlie diseases or being in an un
healthy condition, und as they breathe
the air that circulates through those
places the taller persons are certain to
breathe more of the impurities than
the shorter persons, as the warm
breath of everybody naturally seeks
the higher portion of the atmosphere
in the inclosure, and if the air is poi
soned those who are taller will breathe
It first and continue to breathe It long
er, as those whose heads are not so
high may escape all or part of the
poison, which In many instances is apt
to create an unhealthy condition of
body.—Philadelphia North American.
BAD EGGS AND THE STAGE.
Pelting Unpopular Performers Is a
Very Ancient Custom.
The practice of hurling had eggs at
actors who displeased them has been
in vogue with audiences ever since
there has been a stage and a dramatic
production. Chinese, Greeks and Ho
mans run to tins sort of unfrngrant
criticism, and two stories told by a
collector of odd things connected with
the theater arc worth repeating.
A number of New York youths In
the fifties threw a number of bad eggs
at a pallid and trembling performer.
Ho advanced to the edge of the stage,
commanded silence and said:
"Noble sirs, deign to throw me but
one good one—Just one. I care not if
It break over me, I shall manage it. I
have eaten naught in two days Hell
me with good eggs, i beseech you:”
The appeal gained him a basket of
good eggs by way of the back stage
A man went to Shakespeare’s the
uter in the duy of the great bard to
throw bad eggs at an actor he dis
liked. Some one Jostled him unduly,
and he punched the Jostler. The Jostler
whipped him, however, and dually sat
him down in the bad eggs, which
broke. So the would be egg thrower
was thrown out because of the odor
and called a bad egg In the bargain.

A Bold Defense.
"An enlisted man once put the presi
dent of n court martial in n difficult
position,” says a writer in an English
magazine. “The court martial was
trying the soldier for some fault or
other. When the evidence—und it tool;
an unusually long time—bad been
given, the president asked the prison
er if he had anything to say in his de
fense.
“‘Well, sir.' said the man, I can'i
see how this ’ere court can sentence
me, for Major .(ones ’as been reading a
' patter under the table the ’ole bloom
'■ ing time, and Captain Smith 'as been
! making me into a karieatoor on the
: blotting pad. and. as for Lieutenant
! Brown, ’e ’asn't 'ad Ills commission a
> year and don’t count anyways!’ "
Conscientious.
j Dodson and It is friend Jones stood eon
I versing on the corner. Dodson looked
| up. clutched his companion by the arm
and whispered. "Hurry. Jim!” Around
tile corner they went and made off up
the street Then Jones called Dodson
to account ’’Creditor of mine,” an
swered Dodson. "It isn’t like you to
dodge creditors,” said Jones. "Are yon
up against it?” “Well,” was the reply,

this money so I can give him an honest
excuse If we should happen to see
him again.”—Argonaut.
