A Fine Hospital for Trcnting the Maimed nnd the Crippled.
M MW m SW I 4M
There are no private wards In ths hospital.
All the patlenta share the same accomnuf-
datlons and take turns to be treated , In the
most Impartial fashion. Occasionally one ut
ters a cry ot complaint , but only under great
provocation.
Hanged In a long row on the table up
against the iwall they sit , in calm Impassiveness -
ness , starlnu Into space , waiting to bo made
whole. Some of them who cannot stare ,
whoso eyes have been punched out , have the
blcrccd assurance that new eyes will soon bo
given them.
The personage who combines the ofilco of
trained nurse , surgeon , head physician and
staff of assistants to the hospital loolt.s not
unllko a popular typo of her patients , with
tlia round , rosy checks , blonde hair , smiling
cyu , light print gown and cxpnntlvo apron.
Sha Is young and her t-peech betokens Ger
man extraction.
"Will you choose the French eyes ? " she
asked , holding out a box of brown and blue
orbs for a lady'n Inspection ,
Ths customer adjusts her glasses. "Let

"They uro 50 otnti , " explains the surgeon.
The ordinary eyes are 25 ceuU. And would

looking wig with her plump fingers.
"Yes , give her new hair. "
"Heal hair ? cr this mixture ? " bringing

"Oh , the real hair. Does It curl natu

"Yes. This is n $1 ! wig nnd can be damp
ened nnd culled. " In a trice the doll Is
snatched baldhcaded and the. soft , glossy
curls adjusted that the lady might wo the
eft ct.
"Can't tell how she looks until the eyes
are put In , " is the verdict , "but IK her up.
How long will she have to stay in the hos
pital ? "
"I have some hurry work , " says the little
surgeon , "but by Thursday evening you may
have her. "
"Have 'you n tape measure ? I want her
imni'iiro ' for n new gown , if she U to have
new eyes and hair. "
"I know a doll dressmaker , " suggested
the surgeon , "she lives nt No. IS ; she
would be glad to fill orders. "
The customer looked blissful at this In
telligence.
"Us you think she would make n visiting
gown for this young lady ? Kllen will take
her visiting the- first thing , when she gets
her back. "
"Oh , yes. My friend will do any kind
of dressmaking you wish. "
"Very well. Have her como nnd get the
measure and makp a navy blue toilet , hat

nnd Ellen's nunt sweeps out of the apart
ment.
There Is a knock at the outer door and
a ghl of about It yenro enters , She does
not look prosperous. Her jacket Is shabby
nnd her drew of cheap worsted material
Is faded In streaks ,
A largo-headed china doll Is clasped In
her arms.
"Want her mejided ? " Is the Inquiry ,
The child shakes her head ,
"I want to sell her. "
"What sort of a body baa she got ? "
"Kid. One leg Is lost , but mother says
she's worth $1.25. " '
"Are you going to buy another doll , "
"No , but I belong to a sewing school and
they won't let mo stay In any longer unless
I hava two white aprons. I haven't got any
aprons , If I sell the doll I can got some , "
"I had much rather buy bisque bodies , "
said the cherry-faced burgeon. "Hut , maybe
I can find use for this and I'll buy It of you ,
I can't pay for It today , though. Drlng It
back on Thursday. "
Tne child eyed the contents of thp rooms
narrowly. "What's that smells so titrango ,

"That's the papier machle , I IUYO to cook

Then , when I'm done that , I'll IIx Hial llttlo

In a few minutes another patron arrives
at the doll hospital , a girl of C or 7 , who
timidly lays a discolored nickel on the center
table.
"Oht Your llttlo dolly ! " says the surgeon.
"I haven't had a minute to put her head en
yet. See. there she Is , by that big bisque

llattli ; with i : > ll Fortune.
In Copenhagen , Denmark , over a century
ago , lived a poor wood carver and his family ,
struggling to get food and clothea. Ills boys ,
knotting no other way of earning a living ,
were to carve wrod like hlmpelf , and be
poor all their days. Thinking that his little
ran Ilertcl would te mere skill u | f he leuncd
how to draw , he sent the lad to the Free
Hoyal Academy of Fine Arts.
At the end of four years the boy took a
prize , and waa promoted to the IIret rank.
Two years later he won another prize , but
wai obliged to slay at borne half the time , to
help support the large family.
Ho worked from early morning (111 ( late at
night , and , waa rarely seen to smile , to con-
stunt was hla work and so disheartening hla
surrounding : . He gave lessons In drawing ,
and taught modelling to wealthy boys. He
went to the publishers and got books to Il
lustrate.
Finally ho resolved to try for the gold
modal given by the acidemy for tbo bctt
work , and if be\ \ could gain this , he. could : go
homesick that ho-decided several times to go
back and live in obycniity , but the love for
art and desire for succeal filially overflowed
the loneliness , Work- was Ufa best remedy ,
and he kept constantly at It. lie had * copied
the work * of the old masters ) and tried to
earn a lltlto money , but nobody wanted the
copies. Ho made soinb small prlginal pieces
of statuary and ? nt them tp Copenhagen ,
but nobody wanted the worK of the , wood
caiver's son. . ,
'
He made "Pnson with the 'Golden Fleece , "
and when nobody ordered It , Bertcl Thor-
valduen became discouraged and broke It In
plecej. The next yev'a ktdy furnished the
means for him to make phqttycr Jason , but
while people praised itIn the marble , nobody
bought it.
After nine years had gone by , and he could
eatn almout nothing , for people wanted fame
rather than merit , lie decided to leave Home
and go back to carving wood In Copenhagen ,
He dreaded leaving all tbo beautiful things at
Home and put It off week after week.tlll at last
his humble furniture wag cold -anil hli trunk
was packed. The dreams of fame' were all
over , and he must go back to dally orus :

A few hours later Thohus Hope , nn Ung-

. . "That Is not enough ; you should ask 800
t sequins , " said the generous man , and at once
ordered It.
Young Thorvaldson was dazed with hla
good fortune. The timely act changed a
whole life and gave to Copenhagen one of the
world's famous artists. The young man soon
received other commissions. A leading coun
tess ordered four marble statues Bacchus ,
Ganymede , Apollo and Venus. Florence made
him a professor In her Hoyal academy.
The Academy of Copenhagen sent him ? 600
In token of Its appreciation ot him. The
Danish king urged him to return , but Home
could not spare him. His exquisite bas-
reliefs , "Night , " u goddess carrying In her
arms two children. Sleep and Death , and
"Morning , " a goddess flying through the
air scattering Honors with' both hands , won
him great praise.
When ho was 46 years old ho finished his
Venus , after making thirty models of the
figure. Ho threw away the first attempt
and spent thro3 years In completing the
second. Three statues were made , one of
them now at Chatsnorth , the elegant home
of the duke of Devonshire , and ono was lott
at sea. His exquisite statue of Byron Is at
Trinity college , Cambridge , England.
A HAPPY HOME COMING.
Having been absent from Denmark for
twenty-Hires years , the king urged him
to comeback for a visit. The royal palace -
ace of Charlottenburg was made ready
for htm , the otudents of the accdemy
escorted him with bands of music , can
non were fired and beautiful songs were
sung In his honor. But for the encour
agement of Thomas Hopa In buying his
Jason when ho was despairing all this
would never have happened.
The first perwn whom Thorvaldsen met
at the palace was ( \\e \ \ old man who served
ns a model for the boys yhcn ho was at
school. Hememberlng the poverty of those
early days the sculptor fell upon the old
man's neck and embraced him with much
feeling.
After doing some admirable work at Co
penhagen , Thorvaldsen went to Russia , mak
ing a bust of Alexander , who gav < ? the artUt
a , diamond ring , and then returned to Rome- .
Ho was made president of the Academy of
St. Luke , a position held by Canova , when
he was alive , and was considered 'the ' great
est living sculptor , Mendelssohn wau his
warm frloml , and used to play to him as ho
worked In his studio.
When Tborvaldeen was C8 years old ho
went back to Denmark to live among his own
peopl ? , Ho way met when he landed with a
rtyal ovation. The crowd took the horses
from the carriage anil drew It through the
streets to the palace. There were torch
light processions and no end of festivities.
Copenhagen built a largo museum to re
ceive the works ot her gifted son , and In th ?
Inner court Thorvaldfen had his grave prepared -
pared under his own supervision ,
Wblla ho lived ho was the same modsst ,
unasmimlng person as In his boyhood. He
was devoted to Ma work. So busy was he
that ho sometimes refused oven to dine with
the king.
When ho died the city was 03 one hones
of mourning. His body lay In state In the
royal palace. Dells ware tolled In the
churches , and flowers were thrown from the
windows before the forty artlstu who carried
the collln. The king and his : n received
the body In person at th ? Frue Klrke , where
are rome of the cculptcr's finest etatueo.
Tliousamlo go every year to see the great
wcrko of the Danish artist at Copenhagen
oni stand by the low Ivy covtred grave with
th& name on the granite coping , Ilertcl Thor-
valdwn. A kind act saved him It might

the escape of the great earth warmth , whlcli
rlsss toward the surface mid expels the frost ;
the angle worma work upward with It , and
the sap In the roots of the trees and grasses
otlrs a little. Then lure , and there there arc
warm jets of life that shoot and play beneatli
the cold white expanse.
There are the field mice that now como out
of their dens In the ground or bensath the
flat stones and lead a free , active life under
the enow. The snow Is their friend. U keeps
off the cold and It shields their movements
from the eyes of their enemies , the owls ,
hawks nnd foxes. Now they can venture
abroad from their retreats without fear.
They maki little tunnels and roadways every ,
where over the surface of the ground. They
build winter houses under the great drifts.
They found llttlo mice colonies in places
where they ars never seen In summer. The
condition ! ) of llfo with them are entirely
changed. They can get at the roots of the
granges or the various herbs and seeds they
feed upon , as w ll as In the encwless iwasons
and without exposure to their enemies.
I fancy they have great times there be
neath the drifts. Maybe they have their pic
nics and holidays then ns wo have ours In
summer. When the drifts disappear In
spring you may often sea where they have
had their llttlo encampments ; a few square
yardu of the pasture or * meadow bottom will
look as If a map had been traced upon It ;
tunnels and highways running nnd winding
In ovary direction and connecting then'ests
of dry grass which ptand for the cities and
towns on the maps. Thef > o runways nro
emooth anil round like pipes and just the
size of the bodies of the mice ,
I think it Is only the meadow field mouse
that lives In this way beneath the snow ,
In the woods the least shrew mouse and
the white-footed mouse are moro or less
active all winter. They have their tunnels
nnd runways , also through and beneath the
snow. Hut unllko the meadow mouse they
often como to the surface and run over the
top of the snow ; their tracks look Ilko long
double stitching on a white coverlid.
The whlto-footed mouse usually has HH
nest in the cavity of a tree , where It lays up
Its winter stores of nuts , One winter day
In my youth my brothers in cutting wocd
for the sugar hubh cut down a beech trco
that had four quarts of beech nuts , nicely
pealed , stowed away In u cavity at Its top ,
They were clean and dry and Inviting to
mice or boys.
Another creature that Is alive there be
neath snowbanks , though wrapped In a
deep and long slumber , Is the woodchuck at
the bottcin i his burrow , Ho retired from
the world probably In October and ho gets
along very well without any favors from any
body till April. How does he know It Is
spring and time to como forth with eight or
ten feet of enow above him ? He finds it cut
In some way and dlg up through the snow
to the surface and looks out eairrrly upon
the bare April fields , He Is lean and hungry
and soon knows where the llrst plantain or

othr children's game-s , but wau found alone-
down on the rocks surveying the ocean.
"Wouldn't you like to coma and play some
games with the ether little girls ? " she was
asked. "Oh , no , sir , " said the waif , "I'd
rather look at the water. " "And what do-
you find to Interest you In the water ? " "Oh ,
thero'u such lots of It , " said the naif , en
thusiastically , "and | t's the only time In my
llfo I ever seed enough of anything. "
There Is a llttlo anecdote of Longfellow
which illustrates his love for children and
how he won their affcctlono.
It se'ins that one little fellow In particular
was fond of spending bio time In the great
poet's library. Ono day , after a long and
patient perusal of the titles ( to him great
and cumbersome works ) that lined the
shelves , the little chap walk.d up to Long
fellow and asked In a grlaved sort of way :
"Haven't you got a 'Jack the Giant Killer ? ' "
Longfellow regretted to say that in all Ills
Immense library he did not have a copy ,
The llttlo chap looked at him In a pitying
way and silently loft the room ,
The next morning ho walked In with a
couple of pennies tightly clatpeJ In his chubby
flst , and , laying them down , told the pcct h
could now buy a "Jack the Giant Killer" of
