Within a few hundred yards of a aeach where fifty one years ago two , fishermen found him with his legs amputated. "Gerome," Nova Scotia's man of mystery, died a few days ago, silent to the end about his identity. Although he undoubtedly possessed the power of speech, "Gerome" had not con vet sed with anyone In ti?e half century ho had been cared for by Didier Comeau and the latter's sons and daughters. During all of this time "Gerome" had remained a mystery to the settlers here, most of whom are known as "returned Acadians." being the descendants of the compatriots of Evangellne who returned to this part of their adopted country after their expulsion by the English in 1755. Away back in the summer of 1861, according to tradition, a ship differ? ent from those usually seen here, put off a small boat which made for the shore and deposited above the tide line an object that several hours later was discovered to bs a man. His legs had been freshly amputated and there was a Jug of water and a package of ship's biscuits beside the man, who had suffered greatly from exposure. Wrapped In blankets and taken to the Comeau house, where, ever since he had been a welcome member of the household, the man was finally revived by a physician. In half a doz? en languages the man was asked: "What is your name?" To this question, in Italian, propounded by the elder Comeau, the man made mut? tered reply: "Gerome!" Never after that, however, did "Gerome" utter a word except on one occasion, when asked where he came from. "Trieste" was the reply made, seemingly in an unguarded moment. Physicians from all parts of the world who have visited this land Of Evangellne in the flftyo-ne summers that have elapsed since "Gerome" was found on the beach, have studied the man's case. Most of them have agreed that he might have spoken had be de? sired to do so; one or two have vouch? safed the opirlon that some terrible experience through which "Gerome" passed frightened him out of his senses and rendered him unable to ut? ter an intelligible word.?New York World.

MUSIC BOX IS QUITE NOVEL Rotatinq Couple Given Stage Setting ?Screen Keeps Changing Color of Hidden Lights. Dance music suggests motion, and even small-sized music boxes have had their charm increased by the ad? dition of a couple of figures which A Novel Music Box. would rotate to the tune which the box was playing, says the Popular Electricity. Now a builder of larger music boxes has gone still further by giving the rotating couple not only a stage setting, but a changeable lighting effect also. The figures ap? pear to dance in a niche with mir? rored sides, thereby giving the im? pression that there are several cou? ples, and are brightly lighted by a pair of incandescent lamps placed on opposite sides of the megaphone. The lamps are hidden from the observers' view and a slowly rotating color screen keeps changing the color ol the light REMOVING CINDER FROM EYE 8mall Object Hardly Perceptible May Be Magnified by Arrangement of Glasses. A good way to remove a cinder from the eye is shown in the accompany? ing Illustration. D is a mirror, C is a small reading glass, and A and B the two eyes.

The cinder may then be easily removed with a clean rag or a soft wooden, sharp-pointed stick. The Idea is rather odd. and at the same time effective, as a very small cinder hardly perceptible will often cause Intense pain. Msd Dogs Are Unknown. It is singular that mad dogs and other animals suffering from rabies are unknown In the Rocky mountain region and on the Pacific coast The Medical Journal reports that in 1908 there were 111 deaths from this cause In the United States and 634 i infected localities, the disease pre? vailing In the District of Columbia | and in thirty-eight states and terri? tories. Rather Absurd. ' Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, a few days after his regrettable resignation, was talking to a Washington correspond? ent about an adulterated food. "Hut the manufacturer says he can prove the adulteration does not harm." the correspondent ventured. "Well," answered Dr. Wiley, with a smile, "if he tries to prove that, he'll involve himself as absurdly as the man who declared in triumph: " 'Nobody can have two birthdays but a twin.*" Hardly Fair.

DENTI3TKY NOT NEW SAMPLES 0" ancient WORK In MUSEUMS. Most Interesting Eecause the Oldesl Is Specimen of Bridge-Work Which Was Fcuno in a Phoenician Tomb at Sidon. Dentistry, though considered p? cullarly modern has been found hitch ly developed in the past. Actual specl mcis of ancient dentistry may bl Been in various European museums The most interesting ol these speci mens, because the oldest, is a Phoeni cian example of bridge-work found in a tomb at Sidon. The specimen is now in the Louvre at Paris, and con sists of a part of the upper jaw ol a woman with the teeth united bj gold wire. Two of them are trans planted teeth fastened in by gold wire In the museum of Corneto (which was the ancient Tarquinii, the capital ol the Etruscan federation) may be *een a number of marvelous specimens ol dental work of the sixth and seventh centuries before Christ. They consist mainly of bridge-work done by riveted bands of metal. One of them support? ed three artificial teeth, two of these artificial teeth being made out of a single ox tooth grooved te imitate rather closely two human teeth. Ic the laws of the Twelve Tables, writ ten in Rome 450 B. C, while it is ex pressly forbidden to bury gold orna? ments with bodies, a special excep? tion is made for gold with which the teeth may perchance be bound to? gether. The museum of Pope Julius at Rome contains a gold cap made ol two small plates of gold stamped out to represent rather closely a middle lower incisor and these two piecei soldered together to form the crown of a tooth. The satiric poets of Rome, especial ly Martial, referred frequently to art! ficial teeth. Martial speaks of an old woman who was so scared that as she ran away her teeth fell out. In one epigram he answers the question why one woman's teeth are dark, while an? other's are white, though both are ol the same age, by saying that one ol them buys her teeth, while the other has her own. The Romans had a number of different kinds of denti frices, and took great care of theii teeth. Galen describes a form of pa? tile containing aromatics and opium that might be used as a toothache gum. The filling of teeth with varioui kinds of metal is described by Celsua though the first sure referen<ie to gold filling does not occur until ibout the middle of the fifteenth century. Th? transplantation of teeth, especially from the mouths of slaves into thoe? of their mistresses, seems to hav? been practiced rather commonly in th? early days of the Roman empire.?

She consented, but when Gallo went to take her the sec? ond payment, he entered saying: "Here 1b the sum we agreed on." "What Bum?" she replied with an air of surprise. "Oh, the ?120 for yester? day's performance." "I don't want your money. Take it all away and Bpend it on your children. You shall kiss me and we'll bo quits." Did the good fellow believe his ears? His two performances had brought Mm In ?400 in round figures, had saved him from bankruptcy, and to crown his Joy, he kissed Mine-. Malfbran.

IMPATIENCE CALLED A SIN Worse Than Folly, Inasmuch ss It Does Harm to Others Besides the Unfortunate Possessor. The word patience is not mentioned in the Old Testament. It seems to have come with the Christian deligion and to have taken Its place among the virtues after Christ came. This is strange, for impatience is one of the implacable enemies of man's peace and joy. It is the easiest sin there is. j It is always ready to break out in re? volt against the peace and dignity of the individual. It is mighty unfortunate for a per? son to be easily afflicted with impa tlence. It is a real suffering. It is a bad spirit that grabs a man and squeezes the reason out of him. A man is sort of crazy who is impatient. He lets go of faith In God and the log? ic of events and gets mad at both. It does no good to anybody, and nine cases out of ten a man is ashamed of himself when he lets this sin get the better of him. As proof that impatience is down? right wickedness, notice how a victim of it will swear, insult his friend, snub his wife, kick the cat, slam down whatever is in his hand, and make everybody around him as miserable as himself. Such are the evil associa? tions of impatience.?Ohio State Jour? nal. DESCENDED FROM OLD ADAM Blue-Eyed, Innocent-Looking Young? ster by No Means the Saint He Seemed to Be. A little incident came up in dis? cussing boys at the Y. M. C. A. the other night that brought forth a story from a man who had once been a di? rector of the Boys' club. "I was standing in the door of the Boys' club," said he. "extolling the perfect disposition of a little blue eyed youngster who was sitting in a window a few feet away from us. The woman member of the board of direc? tors to whom I was doing the ex? tolling had remarked how nice the little boy seemed, such a placid face, such pretty blue eyes. She was sure he had a lovely disposition I agreed with her perfeef,v. And I might have thought so yet, but for a rude awak? ening. A small boy leaned out of the window above the model young? ster. He had a medicine ball?one of those big leather bags, much like a round football, except that It was stuffed with cotton. The ball had lost most of its filling. Little Algernon or Jimmie, or whatever his name hap? pened to be, leaned out . the window, and taking deadly aim. he dropped the dilapidated ball square on little Blue Eyes' head. The effect was volcanic. Little Boy Blue poured out a string of etreet English that would have shamed a professional. " 'Say, you mutt, I'm after you!
