Her face was pule, her cheeks pinched, her eyes looked us though they lni l shod many tears; but yet how pretty she wast Sho was dressed all in black there w'is crape on her cloak and bon net.

Scarcely knowing what ho did he took the child from her arms into his 1y.11, and covered its tiny faeo with kisses. Ho looked round about him, not knowing what to do or whither to turn, but his lips were mutteriDj; one name. Again tho children took hold of him and pulled him along tho path toward the wicket gate. They opened it, and tho woman was still staudiug there, her pale faeo now flushed, her oueo dim eyes brighter still. Marion! Marlon 1" tho old man cried. She fell on bit shoulder, with her arms about his ueck. Just then tho school bell rang out, and away tho children ran up tho lull, their voices shouting all tho wav.

A London paper ottered a prir.o for tho best definition of a friend. This dcflni. tion gained tho prize! The first person who comes in when tho whole world goes out. The following aro souio of tho best definitions submitted: A bnnk of credit on which we can draw supplies of condolence, counsol, sympathy, help and lore. One who considers my need b'jfore my deservings. Tko Triple Alliance of tho threo great powers, Love, Sympathy and Help. One who understaudsour silence. A jewel, whoso luster tho strong acidj of poverty aud misfortuno cannot dim. Ono who smiles on our fortunes, frowns on our faults, sympathizes with our sorrows, weeps at our bereavements and is a safe fortress fit all times of trouble. One who, having gained tho top of tiio ladder, won't forgot you if you remain at tho bottom. One who in prosperity does not loady you, in adversity assists you, in sickness nurses you and after your death ninnies your widow and provides for your chil dren. The holly of life, whose qualities nro overshadowed in tho sumo er of pros perity, but bloiiom forth in the winter of adversity. He who lines not adhere to tho saying that No. 1 should come first. A watch which beats true for all timo and never "runs down." An insurniico against misinthropy. An earthly miuiater of heavenly hap piness. A friend is liko Ivy the greater tho ruin, the closer ho clings. Ono who to himself is true and there fore must be true to you. The sumo to-dny, the same to-morrow, either iu prosperity, adversity or borrow. One who combines for you nliko tho. pleasure and buielits of society tiud soli tude. One wdio acts as a balance in tho scr? saw of life. One who guards anot'ier's interest as sacredly 11s his own 1111 1 neither flatters nor deceives. A nineteenth century rarity. One who will tell you of your faults ami follies in prosperity ail I msist you with his hand and heart in adversity. Ouo truer to mo than I uiu to myself. Remarkable S nr.' leal Operations. Of the many results of the rapid stride! which science has made is the remarka ble skill which medical men have brought to bear upon d.tlicult and dangerous sur gical operations. It was not many yours ngo when it win thought improper to I ;s,'"-ip( opinitfots upon tho huiiiiu body, Ui'i.' tho steady onwa" J march of human nrosress has iiiveu Wir 'cons suou o. knowledge of tho human anatomy that they are now enabled to perform feats which formerly would have bum credited t-j witch. raft uud tho blac'.c art. At the annual meeting of tho Welsh branch ol the British Medical Associa tion Dr. I Lunar Harrison gave nn account of an operation he had performed upon a ioy, wuieh li" claimed to bo unique. The hoy had thu misfortune to cut his wrist With pinto glass, which caused him to lose all sense of feeling in the hand and was followed by complete paralysis. The lad's w rist was laid opeu and it was found that a portion :f tho nerve about two iuehes iu length was entirely de. stroyed. A young cat was obtained and chloroformed and immediately after death the surjeou cut a nerve out of tho hind leg. Tiio nerve wus then wrapped iu a cloth soaked iu warmed cirboltc lo tion and afterward couuected with what remained of the boy's nerve. The re sult was most gratifying. Sensation re turned aud the boy wus cured. An equally interesting and successful operation was performed upon a boy who had swallowed a fish hook. He tried to releiuo it by pulling upon the line, but it had become (irmly attached iu tho lower and back part of the throat. A medical man was called in and he procured a pis tol bullet and bored a hole through it. It was then allowed to slide down over the hue to tho hook. Tho weight of tho bullet dislodged the hook, which, sticking in the lead and being protected by it, was safely removed. Vahiujtoa Star. Where the Loud is the Heaviest. Tt depends on tho kind of road whether tho load should bo heavier ou tho fore or hind wheels of a wagon. On a smooth road tho heaviest part of tho load should bo toward thu front, but when tho road is soft or rough ic should be 011 the hind wheels. The larger the w heels thu easier a loud is lifted over tho rough spots or the stones ou a road, beeiiu-o tho leverage of tho spokes, which are longer iu a wide wheel, raises the weight witn morecise. Thero Is no lilting of thu load 011 a smooth, level road, but a sliding motion tf the box of tho wheel on the axle. Aud tho smoother thu wheel works on the uxlu tho lighter is tho draught. Hut when tho wheel iconics to u siono or a hill, or works in ) mud in which it sinks, the loud must be lilted bodily over tho obstruction. New ioik limes. A rculiur Disease.

Portions of the child s limbs have become bard, like clay, and tho palm of ono hand if also atlected in the tamo way.
