VnCLE SAM’S COSTLY PRESENTS.
There are 10,000 of them stalking around

pensioners live in Europe,
but their i eusiou money and anew ap
pliance is furnished every hve years as
regularly as clockwork, whatever the cost.
One of them lives in Stockholm Sweden.
It is estimated that Uncle Samuel will
rav out ut least *1,500,000 in artificial leys
and arms and in traveling expenses in 189 J.
Ti e limb dealers are tickled at the pros

Urcie Sum's patronage as possible. They

To be sure be doesn’t g > much on style in

maimed soldiers, but he has a way of in
sisting tl at the limhs furnished shall be
substantial and serviceable.
He bus been known to make a great fuss
when they did not come up to the standard,
as makers have discovered.
SOUTHERN SOLDIERS LEFT OUT.
But tho national gavernment does not
trouble itself about tho e sur
vivors. They are not included in the num
ber who receive $75 limbs every five years.
Only union soldiers are so favored.
Lately, however, i understand, some of
the southern states have made appropria
tions for this purpose. A dealer in artificial
appliances told me the other day that
Georgia next year would furnish all her
ex-confederato soldiers who needed them
with new artificial limbs.
"1 only wish I had the contract,” he
added energetically.
Net only privates, but some of the com
manders as well, in the late rebellion, now
gel about on wooden legs.
Among the prominent public men who are
thus fitted <ut are Corporal 'fanner, who
lost both liis leg, below the knee, and Gen.
Isaac S. Catlin, for six years district attor
ney in Brooklyn and now on the retired list.
John B. Robinson, lieutenant governor of
New York stato with Gov. John A. Dix,
wore one for years until a dislocation of
fee hip joint compelled him to dispense
with it.
Maj. Gen. John B. Mclntosh of New
Brunswick, N. J., wore a wooden leg up
to the time of his death, and ho ii said to
have been a very natural and graceful
walker.
Gen. Wacle Hampton and Geo. Butler,
both representing South Carolina in tho
Senate, wear artificial legs.
Gen. Allen G. Thurman, a son of Senator
Thurman, wears an artificial har.d.
HIS FOOT SQUEAKED.
Running lightly up the steps of an artifi
cial limb maker’s office a day or two since,
I saw a young man of perhaps 24 years.’
His name is of no consequence here, but he
belongs in New York’s select circles.

To my intense surprise he was seated in
an easy chair and minus his feet, which the
maker had just removed and was examin

amputated half way ?,etwees tne ankle and
ui c-L. He colored slightly as he recognized
me. ad noting my astonishment, said:

eyoad onarigat augle. Thus
the wearer can step as he would with nat
ural feet. Ihe joints are genera ly of steel,
and the efforts of the inventors have been
directed toward making an artificial appli
ance t: at shall copy the natural member in
looks and utility as closely as possible.
“A popular notion is that artificial legs
are made of cork. This idea arose from
tho fact that many years ago the fr line
work of artificial legs was made of iron,
an t to give it shape the interior was filloi
with cork. There is no such thing to-day as
a cork leg. Most of them are made of
wook and covered with raw hide.
“The war, and the demand it eiused for
artificial appliances, is what first gave the
incentive to American inventors to study
this work and make such marvelous im
provements.
“It is possible to-day to make and use an
artificial leg where the natural one has
been dislocated at the hip joint.
“The same is true of th - arms, for with
the artificial arms now made fur amputa
tions above the elbow a man can use his
handkerchief if he chooses, handle a knife
and fork and even write. On my desk
there you will see a letter written by a
young mail who lias lost both bis a. ms
within six inches of the shoulder.”
WRITING WITH WOODEN FINGERS.
I glanced at the epistle. It was written
in a free, running hand and was very legi
ble. The writer explained how he lost his
arms by tumbling in front of the sickle of a
mowing machine which he was driving
over a “water furrow,” as he said; and he
expressed intense delight at his ability to
write with artificial Hands.
“Many persons do not wear artificial
limbs, because without thorn they cm
secure more sympathy and financial aid
from their friends. The poorer classes go
without them because t ey cannot afford
them. A good leg costs from $75 to ?90 ;
and the prices run as I igb as $l5O. The
cost, of course, depends somewhat on the
size or length of the limb. A leg without a
knee joint does not cost as much as one in
cluding the knee, and if an artificial hi>
sorket is to bo made the cost is correspond
ingly increased.
"Before Dr. Wood died, a few years ago,
he called a meeting of pr. uninent physicians
to attempt the organization of a society to
furnish artificial limbs to the maimed poor
who could not afford to purchase them.
Dr. Wood’s death caused the idea to be
dropped.”
“If you would like to go with me this even
ing and wild promise to mention no names,”
said the voting society man, “I will show
you a young lady in Wy set who has an
artificial foot,-pud yoii can judge for your
self of her ataUt@itofwu.UzU'
He bad recovered his .feet and was walk
ing around on them, ~r r fbuy had lost their
disagreeable squeak, much tp his delight.
WALTZING ON WOODEN FEET.
I decided to aocept his invitation, and
about 9 o'clock that evening I found myself
in a brilliantly lighted and very handsome
drawing rooni, filled with elegantly dressed
people. I was prepared for anything, I
thought, but I could not help watching iny
friend when I saw him escort a young lady
to the ballroom. H s dancing was not un
graceful, I had to admit, tnough it seemed
to nie I could detect a degreo of s. iffnoss in
his movements. He rejoined me after
escorting his partner to a seat at tho end of
the dance.
“Well, what did I tell you?” ho asked,
triumphantly.
“Your movements were perfectly nat
ural,” I responded, warmly. “Couldn’t have
done better if ”
“On, I don’t mean myself. How did you
like the dan 'mg of my partner?”
“You don’t mean to say that •”
“That’s exactly what I do mean,” he in
terrupted. “The young lady who danced
with me has an artificial left foot. It is not
generally known, and she does not dream
that I atn aware of it. Her brother told
mo of it one day in a confidential mood.
“After all, a wooden foot is no worse than
false hair or teeth. Just look over there.”
I looked and saw, a very good looking
lady of apparently about 40 years.
“That lady is 50 years old,” continued
my informa it, “and she’s as bald as Table
Rock. Sbo not only wears false hair, but
false teeth, a false bust and a false com
plexion. Just divest her of her artificial
charms and she would not boa very pleas
ing object. Longfellow was right woen
he said, ‘Things are not wiiat they seem.’
Very little is'in this world of ours,” he c in
cluded, laughingly, as he went away to
dance the lancers.
Truly, thought I, as I wandered home
ward, the world is full of patched up hu
manity.
Self Defense Against a Dangerous Foe
Forewarned is not forearmed in the case of
those who incur the risk of an attack from that
dangerous foe, malaria, unprovided with a
means of defense. But if those iu peril are
aided, sustained and reinforced with the great
fortifying safeguard, Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters, miasma, prolific breeder of evils mani
fested in the suape of bilious remittent and
chills and fever, ague cake, dumb ague, and the
calentura of the Isthmus and Central American
coast, is nullified and rendered harmless. Our
western pioneer settlers and miners, dwellers in
tropic lowlands, and visitants of and dwellers iu
malarious localitiasiu this country and many
quarters of the globe, have for years been ac
quaintad with tho fact and are constantly pro
vided with this unparalleled defensive medicine
and remedy. All disorder of the stomach, liver
and bowels, rheumft l ici and kidney complaints
■end rheumatism are conquered by it.
