Mr. Grogan sat down into a chair and
said that the Doctor was at liberty to do
anything lie wanted to da to his trouble-
some esophagus. He held back his head
and aided the dootor in inserting the
silver gag which opened his mouth very
wide.
Then the medical man took hold of the
silken cord and pulled. The cord grew
taut, and for a lonely instant it looked
as though the rubber tube didn't intend
to leave the seclusion that a modern
espohagus grants. But at last it yielded
to the gentle pressure and began its jour-
ney to the outer world. When Dr.
Marks drew the tube from Grogan's.
mouth and laid it an the table he picked
tip another and a larger tube, which was
already for insertion, To one end was
tied the new silken cord, and in exactly
forty-seven seconds after Dr, Marks be-
gan the operation of introduction that
three-inch tube was nestling in the place
so long occupied by the old one. The
string was fastened to Grogan's right
ear, the silver gag was removed from his
mouth and the„ operation was over.
Twenty minutes later Grogan was
down in his ward., shaking hands with
his anxious wife and saying tender
things to his youngest daughter, a dainty
maid of seven, with nut -brown hair and
wondrous big eyes. He told the pretty
little creature that he could eat all the
good things that she had. brought to him
and hetoldhis wife that he had gained
thirty pounds in weight, and that Dr.
Marks was a trump.
Medical men say that Grogan's steady
improvement since the operation of
French intubation was first performed
on him is simply wonderful. Three
weeks ago the man was dying from a can-
cer of the throat. The channel of the
esophagus, through which all food travels
to the stomach was completely closed,
and Grogan was literally starving to
death. He weighed exactly ninety-seven
pounds when that first tube was pushed
into his esophagus. Now he weighs 127
pounds, and eats soft food of all kinds
with a relish.

A True Home.
Parents frequently complain that they
cannot keep their children: at hom', at-
tributing the blame solely to the chil-
dren. In many a house there is nothing
to keep them, nothing to attract them.
The father and mother are too busy to
notice them, or if they do, it is only to
find fault. The house is shut up and.
the rooms are cold. and dark. What won-
der that the children seek other and more
cheerful places? Ali, parents, if you
would keep your boys and girls at home
you must make it indeed a home in the
true sense of the word. Open the doors
and windows and let in the air and the
sunshine. Take an interest in what they
are doing and teach them to confide in
and love you. The home life will then
grow so inexpressively delightful that
the whole world will seem to be better.
The children will be the first to recog-
nize the change.
"fo Skit To-morrer."
When wo stopped in front of the dug-
out
uiout and cried "Hello ?" a girl about six-
teen years of age, barefooted and hair
flying, came out to see what was -wanted.
While we waited for her we noticed an
old mule a hunded feet away on the
prairie with his legs braced wide apart
and his head slowly moving from side to
side. About as far away in the other di-
rection was an old yellow horse that was
walking backward in a circle and acting
in acurious manner. The old covered
wagon at the door was evidently there to
be loaded with household furniture.
"What ye whoopin' fur?" asked the
girl as she got above ground.
"Can we get anything to eat here?"
"Neap., e
"Any water for the horses ?"

"Can you tell us how far it is to the
river?"
"Noap."

"Pop can't step. He's been drunk fur
a week."
"Is your mother home?"
"Yep, but she's singing hymns. That's
"Yee.,
tak' on down thar now."
"What's the matter with that mule
. out there ?"
"Whiskey bran mash."
"And that horse?"
"Same thing."
"What's going on here anyway ?"
asked the colonel as the voice of a man
who seemed to be delivering a speech
welled up to us from the bowels of the
dugout,
"The hull of us is goin' to skit to-mor-
rer and begin life over ag'in," answered
the girl as she pulled at a burr in her
hair. "Dad's goin' to stop at White
Plains and sign the temperance pledge,

GIVEN A NEW TUBE.
Conjurers Clothes.
I suppose that everybody understands
that a conjuror depends considerably
on his costume for assistance in perform-
ing many of his most mystifying tricks.
The old-fashioned conjuror had an easy
time of it. He was artful enough to ap-
pear in some fancy costume which en-
abled hien to conceal anything from a
frying pan down to a five cent pieoe.
But the modern public is too wide awake
to stand that sorb of thing, and, nowa-
days, up 10 date artists must appear in
the conventional evening dress of civil-
ization. Fortunately, the swallow _tail
coat is so cut as to lend considerable as-
sistance to one who has to hastily pro
duce or conceal any article he may want
at the moment, and, taking advantage
of this, the conjuror provides himself
with from nine to a dozen extra pockets.
Two pockets are at the back of the
trousers, on a level with the knuckles,
these of course carefully hidden by the
goat tails. The swallow tail is thus ser-
viceable in e.ineealing watches, cards,
handkerchiefs or anything it may be ne-
cessary to pat away hastily. Tho tails
of the coat themselves contain four little
pockets ; the left flap of the breast coat
contains a large pocket used for what is
known as "loading" large objects, and
such conjurors as still perform with live
animals (an extremely cruel practice, by
the way) conceal them here.
The vanishing bird trick (which, I re-
gret to say, kills a great number of can-
aries) is performed by means of accessor-
ies in which the costume plays a part.
The bird cage itself is made to collapse
into a cigar shaped tube. The centre of
the cigar shape is naturally fatter than
the ends, and, if the bird. is fortunate, it
is secreted there and may come out of the
ordeal alive. Should, however, the bird
get at either end, it is crushed to death,
or should the legs get through the bars
they are almost certain to be broken. A
conjurer once told me he had done the
trick 200 times with one bird, but I should
very much doubt it. What happens is
this : The bird cage is rapidly hooked
to the end of a piece of whipcord, which
passes up the sleeve and across the body
of the performer, and then down the other
sleeve, where it is tied to the wrist. It
will thus be seen that the cord is con-
siderably shorter than will be required
to stretch from each end of the arms if
they are extended. The cage, being in
the performer's hand, is rapidly com-
pressed and made to assume its cigar
shaped form, and is dragged up the arm
at lightning speed by the simple process
of extending the two arms. This very
simple trick has puzzled millions of
people. It is performed so rapidly that
even if you closely watch the conjuror I
doubt if you will know what he is doing.
Afterward the conjuror pretends to find
the bird among the audience. As a mat-
ter of fact he takes another bird out of
his pocket, and by one of the simple
dodges of conjuring appears to take it
from some one's neck or head, or some
other convenient place.

toreimburse the treasurer of the United
States on account of the loss of weight

straight.
She Said "Grace."
An Englishwoman of rank—a duchess
—was very apt to forget to pay her bills.
A. milliner, whose large bill had been re-
peatedly ignored by the duchess, at last
determine i to send her little girl, a pretty.
child of ten years, to beg for the money
which was so much needed. "Be sure to
say 'your grace' to the duchess," said the
anxious mother, and the child gravely
promised to remember. When, after
long -waiting, she was ushered into the
duchess' presence, the little girl dropped
a low courtesy, and then, folding her
hands and closing her eyes, she said,
softly : "For -#hat I am about to receive
may the Lord make me truly thankful."
As she opened her eyes and turned her
wistful gaze on the duchess, that light-
hearted person flushed very red, and,
without delay, made out a cheek for the
amount due the milliner.
Another Successful Operation on/the
Man Whose Life Depends on His
Rubbed Illsophagns.
Wolford Grogan has a new rubber tube
in his much -talked -about esoghagus and
thirty pounds of new, healthy flesh on
his bones. The
new tube was fixed in
its place by Dr. Heine Marks Saturday
afternoon, The new flesh has been
gradually aceumulating ever since the
eventful day, three weeks ago, that the
first tube was into the esophagus. The
story of how Dr. Heine Marks performed
that tare and delicate operation has al-
ready been told in the papers.
The afternoon was an hour old when
they brought Grogan from his ward in
the city hospital into the operating room,
He looked big and strong, and there was
color in his cheeks. The end of the
silken oord which had held the tube in
place ever since it was first introduced
protruded from the man's mouth and was
tied around his right ear.
"Grogan," said the Doctor, `we are
doing to pull that old tube out of your
threat and insert a new ono in its place.
It will be. a larger and better one. It

His Pint Was Bettor Than a Pound.
Old sayings are nearly always truth-
ful, but they must be applied with due
discretion, as a woman in a little store
"down the neck" discovered to her. soi-
row. An old darky called one morning
to purchase a pound of shot. The store-
keeper being out, his wife attempted to
serve the customer. She could not find
the weights, but being a good house-
keeper she remembered an old saying of
frequent use in egokery, "a pint's as good
as a pound the world over."
In her dilemma she quoted that saying
to the darky, asking if he would be satis-
fied to take a pint for a pound. The
darky, with wide-awake cunning, snap-
ped at the chance, got his shot, paid for
it and hurried out of the store, The wo-
man couldn't account for the sudden
hurry of his departure until she, with
pride, related to her husband her happy
idea enabling her to get along without
weights.
A CHANCE FOR WOMEN.
RECENT ANECDOTES.
The Two Dumas.
Of "Dumas le savant"' a good story is
told. Nothing annoyed the great chemist
so much as being mistaken tor the nove-
list. On one occasion a lion -hunting Eng-
lish laey, after praising him in the most
effusive language, and observing that she
knew every line of his writings, from
"Mont ) Christo" to the "Mousquetaires,"
added, "I hope you will allow me to send
you a card for my next soiree." "Ma-
dame, I am in no way connected with
the writer you allude to,"'said the savant,
with a cold disdain that no asinine, snub -
proof coat -of -mail could. resist. "Oh, T
thought you were the great Ms. Dumas I"
exclaimed the bewildered lady.
Ideas Wanted by the Big Manufacturers
of Ready -Made Gowns—The Work ofja
Designer.
" It is surprising," said the head of a
large firm for supplying ready-made
gowns wholesale, " that there are so few
women designers in New York. One
sees women struggling to squeeze into
already overcrowded occupations, but
never stopping to think of something
new. Now, one with natural ability for
artistic and practical dressmaking or de-
signing could make a good living selling
ideas to great houses. There are men
who supply this need, but never a
woman."
" Does not each firm secure a design-
er?" Iinquired.
" No," he replied, " The retail firms
generally buy from tht wholesale, and
they copy or adopt foreign fashions,
Some firms, of course, do employ women,
and these can make anywhere from $35
to $75 a week, with a trip to Europe
thrown in."
He went on to say that if a woman was
clever and had some capital she could
open an office and make a success, An
abundant patronage could be secured of
large wholesale firms; retail ones, mod-
istes, etc. She could make designs for
all sorts and conditions of clothes, selling.
them for as much as an illustrator re-
ceives for single and double column
drawings. If she could not sketch Well,
let her make each model of colored tissue
paper.
There are a hundred things to be done
in this line. New York is a tremendous
fashion mill, grinding all the grist that
is thrown into it, A mew collar or cuff,
a shoulder arrangement, the manner of
finishing the bottom of a gown, a new
way to hook &bodice ---these are all minor
details that are eagerly caught up by the
stores. This patronage could not be won
Anecdote of Artemus Ward.
His compainions were a band of brilliant
young Bohemiansfor whose kind the
metropolis now contains no room. They
wore the last of their kind, and most of
them lived bat brief lives. They pro-
duced much that was brilliant, but noth-
ing that lasted. Artemus alone won en-
dearing fame. The others were writers,
act as and minstrels. The brothers Dan
and Neil Bryant were eminent memders
of the clan, t igether with Charles Daw-
son ehanly, and a shining Bluster of young
men about town. One of the latter, who
lived to become a staid merchant, used to
relate with glee how, on leaving the little
theatre in Twenty-third street late one.
evening in company with Artemus,
Shanly, and Neil Bryant, the trio broke
out in a joyous carol. The song was in-
terrupted by one of the then despised
metropolitan policemen, who roughly
ordered them to stop the noise. At this
rude interruption Artemus stopped his
song, and, turning, throw himself upon
the broad bosom of the astonished police-
man, and gave way to a gush of passion-
ate tears. His friends endeavored to
calm him, and the embarrassed officer,
half choked byhis.warm embrace, begged
him to desist, whsch he did, with the de-
claration that "The metropolitan police-
man is the noblest work of God." This
sentiment secured escape and a continu-
ance of the song.
Not Sure It Was His Own Hat.
Gen. Wright, while in Now York on a
recent trip, put up a big Broadway hotel,
where they had one of those door boys at
the entrance to the dining -room with a
memory that is phenomenal. When Gen.
Wright went into dinner upon his arrival
the boy took his hat and put it in a rack
with a couple of hundred others, many of
them seemingly exactly like it. About
three-quarters of an hour later, the Gene-
ral strolled out and asked for his hat.
Instead of picking over the entire lot in
the rack, as the General more than half
expected he would, the boy selected the
General's hat as if by intuition and
handed it to him.
"How did you know that was ray hat
asked Gen. Wright, his curiosity aroused.
"I didn't know that was your hat,
boss," said the boy, "but I knowed hit
was the hat you gimme."
Odd Things About Money.
The amount of money, both metal and
paper, that is loss by the people of the
United States enters importantly into
the financial calculations of the Govern=
went. A few years ago it was reckoned
by a Congressional committee ,; that
of the unredeemed fractional cur-
rency outstanding, $8,000,000 worth had
been lost .or destroyed. Accordingly,
this amount was subtracted from the
$10,000,000 previously appropriated for
the redemption of these small "shin-
plasters," and was transferred td` the
fund for the payment of pensions. It is
now believed by treasury experts that not
more than $1,000,000 worth of the frac-
tional currency has been destroyed or
lost. They are confident that of the $15,-
000,000 in such notes as yet outstanding,
$14,000,000 is in the hands of persons
who hold them as curiosities. Many are
owned by collectors, but there are hund-
reds of thousands of individuals who
have retained specimens "just for fun."
However, only a few dollars' worth of
them are handed into the treasury every
year, and Uncle Sam will doubtless re-
main just so much ahead. Out of the
$20,100,000 worth firstissued in 1863, $4,-
000000 remains outstanding. There were
fcursubsequent issues, including three -
cent and five -cent notes, which aggre-
gated $4417,000,000. Of these $11,000,000
remains unredeemed. Of the eve -cent
notes 45 per cent. are outstanding, of the
ten -cent notes 30 per cent., of the twenty-
five -cent notes 20 percent., and of the
fifty -cent notes 11 per cent. Small cop-
per coins are lost in such enormous num-
bers that the Government is obliged to
keep on coining cents at the rate of
several millions of them every month.
They change hands so often as to be sub-
ject to a multitude of accidents, and ow-
ing to their small value they are not
taken care of. This is no cense of regret
to Uncle: Sam, inasmuch as he buys the
pennies in blank from a firm in Con-
necticut at the rate of 1,000 for 81. • On
ria
chin ' tho mint in Philadel his
whence all of them are issued, they have
merely to be stamped. There are 119,-
000,000 old copper pennies somewhere.
Nobody knows what has become of them,
except that once in a while a single
specimen turns tip in change. A. few
years ago 4,500,000 bronze two -cent
pieces were set afloat. Three millions of
them are still outstanding, Three mil-
lion three -cent nickel pieces are scattered
over the United States, but it is very
rarely that one is seen. Of 800,000 half -
emits, which correspond in value to Eng-
lish farthings, not one has been returned
to the Government for reooinage or is
hold by the treasury. Congress appro-
priates from $100,000 to $150,000 yearly
for recoining the uncurrent silver coins'
now in possession of the ,treasury. These
are mostly half -dollars, and are not circ
ciliated 'because there is no demand for

The Ambassador's Wit.
Some years ago, in Paris, some people
were discussing the discoveries of Colum-
bus in the presence of the late Lord Lyt-
ton, the British embassados. Colomb, I
shall explain, is the French for Celumbus,
and la oolombe is the French for "the
dove." "It is very singular," some one
observed, "that la Oolombe discovered
the Old World and le Colomb discovered
the New." "Yes," replied Lord Lytton,
"but infinitely more curious is it that
the one came from Noah and the other
came from Genoa."
Clever Underwriting,
In the palmy days of the clipper service
—long before the great insurance com-
panies were founded—there lived in New
Yord a wealthy banker, who did a thriv-
ing business underwriting vessels for the
Quaker merchants, who then lived on
East Broadway. It came to pass that the
late Joseph Barker had the ship Patience
insured by this banker to a considerable
sum, and the ship being overdue, he tried
to get additional insurance. The banker
asked so large a premium that Mr.
Barker deferred receiving the overnight,
to advise his partner in the matter, As
a consequence of the conference of the
owner of the Patience, Mr. Barker walked
to this friend's counting -house on Pearl
street the`next day—a beautiful summer
morning—to cancel his order. The
banker sat at his open window, and Mr.
Barker called from the street:
"Eriend M—, if thee has not made
out those papers, never mind. We've
heard from the ship."
"Oh, they're all made out," the banker
called back, and stooping at his desk, he
added his signature, the one needful
thing to make the papers legal. He hur-
ried to the street and thrust the docu-
ments into Mr. Barker's hand. The old
Quaker read them carefully, noted the
banker's signature still wet, folded the
papers deliberately, and replied:
"Yes, Friend M—, we've heard from
the ship. She's lost."
Not Particular.
The story of a recent application made
to Senator Blackburn by an old negro
from Kentucky portrays the eagerness to
secure something from the government,
whatever form the prize may take. The
Senator was one day informed that "Old
Mose" nad arrived from Woodford
county, Kentudky, and was waiting to
consult him privately on "er 'portant
mrttah."
"Well, Moses," began Senator Black -
