When one of Noah's grandchildren rt n finj,i'r in a hayc-utte-r or an arm in ftbuzzsaw, or liaJ an eye put out or i5 cut off, or lost his hair or tiM'lh, he as forced toj;i without the iti'iu thus 4'.dnctrd from his sum total Tor the rest , f his mortal life. It is hard to credit ilia amount if patching up that may l accomplished by tho advanced processes and inventions of these days. ' goppose that a man has lost all four Kuibs, his hair, his eyes, his nose, all his teeth and a portion of his palate, and that he has a fractured ukull and ttiber- - els on his ImiK. Tho gentleman may Jso ho covered with tho pits of an early ease of smallpox and may havobeen pre-atnt- ed at his birth with a large molo on tis eheeli. First, of course, ho will have his heal trepanned by some skillful surgeon, and Ulien he has had tho tubercles removed from his lungs by a specialist in diseases and has recovered from tho eiiiaiiM ing effects of tliese two opera-tions he will bo in a projier stiite to have his eyes attended to. A rabbit is select-ed whose optics are of a color Wominx t,i the snhject, and one of them is trans-j-'nte- d by means of transfereiKMj. Of eanrso he could hardly expect tojiave loth eyes successfully snp; linl in thin vay, hut suppofrinf he has gooil luck and ene prows satisfactorily, the other socket, fir the sake of beauty and symmetry, ill bo tilhsd by ono of the glass eyes Bow manufactured to snch iierfoction.

If tho patient is fortunate onongh to have ono arm down to the wrist, he will be supplied with a hand with which he can manage to write a little and feed himself quite perfectly, liis lower limbs will convey him from place to place, not very gracefully, to bo sure, but still ad well as many merely lame legs convey their owners, mid which, sitting or rest-ing, will present, perhaps, a more sym-metrical appearance than the originals they have succeeded. The once total wreck is still bald, toothless and disfigured with poek-mark-and a mole. An artificial set of teeth, quite as good as the original arti-cl- o and incapable of aclung, will bo sup-plied by any good dentist, and the miss-ing portion of the palate also will lie furnished. Then the hair wonld nat-urally be his next thought. ' lie may have hair or portions of scalp transplanted to the uncovered cranium. But this is a long and painful process, ' so wo will suppose that the subject con-tents himself with a wig. Fortunately in these days wigs are made which ar entirely deceptive, and so far as appear-ance gix's look quite aa well as nature's own production. The writer of tbesa lines has shared a room with the wearet of such a wig for several (lays and was not aware that his companion's Hyperion locks wero not the proper growth of the head they adorned until in a buret of confidence tho trnth was reveahll. T 110 W THE VICTIM MAY APPEAR. The beauty seeker next goes to that sv artist of recent growth, tho "dermatol- - who first destroys his mole by felec.trosis" and then gets to work on the pockmarks. These are smoothed by disintegrating process,-whic- h loosens np the fibrous structure of the scars and smooths down the whole face by a sort cf planing method. lie is BtiU disfigured by the want of a nose, certainly a most important lack in a human countenance. This feature may now lie supplied by surgery by transplanting a fold of flesh from some living ann, which is held near the face to be repaired nntil a portion of the fold has grown fast in its new situation, and then is wholly separated from tho arm and forms a fairly satisfactory nasal ap-pendage. Ilere the former human wreck may walk about tho streets or call upon his feminine acquaintances quite capable of appreciating their charms, for he has one available eye. Ho may smilo also, for his molars and incisors are now plentiful and of pearly W'hiteuem, and though his nose may be a trifle pudding-lik- e and lack Grecian symmetry of line, his delicate complexion and lnrnriant hair largely compensate for this trifling defect He will never, of course, be a satis-factory partner in the waltz, but his dig-nified repose and symmetrical limbs must niiue him an ornament to the ml conversazione. Thus while tho vital organs remain Within the trunk and the gray matter of the brain is intact a man need not de-spair, and surgeons believe that we may aoon expect to see the ill furnished cranium supplied with such qualities as , it lacks, and poets, painters, inventors nnd philosophers manufactured out of the raw material of the idiot ward and the stage door contingent. New York World. Mutleuliln (.las. One of the lust arts, provided it ever existed, was the malleable gl.u-- s of the ancients, The Egyptians and the 1'lne-iiieiari- B made glass for many early spec-imens remain fully 2,000 years 11. C. In the reign of Tilierins a person np. peared in Komo who claimed that he had invented inflexible glass. The story tells that he produced a glass vase, which he cast on tho marble floor with vehemence, so as to bend it, but restored its sliajio with a few blows from a ham-mer, and that, at the solicitation of a mob of artificers, who feared that the ii'w process might supersede the use of their vessels of metals, tho emperor re-tained the glass vase, but ordeied tho in-genious artist to be put to death. Since then two or thrco other persons claimed the discovery of a process for making malleable glass, but nothing came of it. The art, however, is scarce-ly "lost," for in tho glass houses of Murano, close to Venice, they make glass plates which can be lient and thrown about without breaking, but will not bear to be hammered. Every ono almost haa seen what is called spun glass, which you can twine round the ringer as if it were silk; hut this cannot lie converted by any process iuto a ves-sel to hold water. Malleable glass is uot a lost, because it has never becu a found, art. Thomas J. Bowditch in Troy Times. Abuut Hank Checlm. The cashier of a downtown bank said recently when the public learned which end of the check they should sign their tmrnes on it would be a great and glori-ous day for the employe of the banks in Now York. "When the public has been taught this little detail," tho cash-ier said, "it would lie well to givo tho banks a lesson in printing their chocks. The latest fashion in checks is by far the most convenient ono. All of the in-formation on the check which is of value to the banker is placed on ono end. At the right hand upper corner is tho date. Under this is the name of the man to whom the chock is drawn. IVmoath this again is the amount of the check in fig-ures, and right below that tho signature of the man who draws it. The other end of the check is filled with the name of the bank, mid so on. "The advantages of this form of check are: First, that the date, amount, signer and draweo can bo seen at a glance; second, if the check is bound up with dozens of other checks and bills it is not necessary to pull it out from the bundlo to get information about it. A cashier can take up a jiackage of such checks, tlnunb over the ends, and set them aside in less time than it would take to go over two or three checks of tho older form. Nearly all of tho larger banking houses and big corporations have adopt-ed tho check, and it will eventually find its way down to the smaller concerns." New York Sun. i reter lene.
