mere is a small room in the rear or a
Court street store in -which works an old,
ijray-haired man. Surrounding him on
all sides arc legs of many shapes and sizci
Some are short and stout, with ruther too
much calf for strictly classical beauty;
others are long and slim, with a deplor
blu lack of calf, while -others vie in
ihapclincss wfth tho nether limbs of a
Greek slave or a Venus dc Mi Jo. , The old
man when visited recently was hard .at
work, but consented to give the writer a
few particulars in regard to his business.
i ow that,"- lie said, pointing to a
shapely leg hanging over tho fire, "bo
longs to a Newbury port voun lady. "
"That." continued the old man, "is
what's known as a knee-bcaring leg. I
made it for her three years ago, when she
was about 1C years old. She lost her leg
a little below tho knee so short that she
couldn't wear a socket-bearing leg, and
so she v ii3 obliged to have a knee bearing
to walk on the knee. She had grown a
little since, and so was obliged to
lengthen it out - I cuCtho leg in two at
thc"calf end put in a piece,; dovetailing it
and fastening it with glue. I've histcd
a child's leg at least four inches lcfore it
was given up, when its parents were poor,
and couldn't afford a new one.
"Now here, "picking up a leg in process
of construction, - "legs don't "weigh as
much as jou ' think. Including all
the ironwork, that leg wouldn't
weigh more than ; five pounds. I
have just made one for a full-grown
woman that weighed, everthing complete,
including the upper socket, exactly three
pounds.. I made it particularly light on
account of her being sickly. I want to
show you now where we get tho dura
bility. The steel ankle-joints arc. you sec,
set in the wood, and slightly broader at
the ankle than further up the leg, which
makes them sorter dovetailed. Tho bearing-down
strain is borne in part by them
and pnrtly by an endless and very power
ful cord some make it of silk, but I al
ways use linen extending from the heel
of the foot over a bar in the calf of the
leg, which is hollow. The cord relieves
principally what is called 'the nosing,'
where the shin plays into the foot
"Tho ankle-joints are. you see, con
nected by a steel bolt, which makes the
leg particularly strong about the ankle,
where the most strain comes. The toe
joint is located at the same place as in the
natural foot, and works with a spring
that brings the toe into place after each
step. The wood? I use willow alto
gether, and have never used any othc. I
have shown you one used where the leg
bas been lost below the knee.
"Now this, " producing another leg. "is
for one lost above the knee. It is the
same in every particular as the other,
with the addition of a wooden, socket to
Secure the stump. It works at the knee
in a very natural manner on a simple
bolt, with a spring extending from the
thin piece to the lower part of the top
socket. This spring throws the foot for
ward, in walking, the minute the toe
leaves tho floor.
"You will observe that if the amputa
tion is above the knee the leg must be
held in place by suspenders made on a
stout welt part elastic and part non
elastic extending over the shoulder. If
with a long stump below the knee, the
leather socket, placed above the knee, is
usually sufficient
"If," however, lereis but a short stump
below the knee atrap is required. Every
weak point in a leg is. specially guarded,
in some way or other; and when the steel
and wood work are - complete the leg is
covered with calfskin, similar to a drum
head. It is put on wet and dries to the
leg, very closely, adding a great deal to
its strength. Then that is sand-papered
down to a surface, and the holes in the
calf opened out. They are for ventila
tion, but I doubt if they do any good. I
always put them in, because a good many
are of the notion they are. Then the leg
is painted. I use alcoholic paint, made
of gum and dry lead. The minute it
strikes water it is set and you can't wash
it off with anything except alcohol.
"I'll show you a leg, " producing a par
ticularly lifelike one, the foot of which
bore a shoe and stocking, "that has been
painted seventeen years, andls, you see,
in pretty good condition. "
"What do you consider your most
singular case?" s
" That of a little boy that lives near the
old reservoir. lie was brought to me in
liis father's arms when he was 16 or 17
months old, and had never walked a step.
1 didn't dare to touch him, . he was so
young and tender, and his father took
him to Dr. Shaw. The doctor advised
him to get a limb right off, so as to pre
vent hip disease on the other side. That
had never occurred to ma The doctor's
opiuion took all the responsibility away
from mo: and so I went to work at once,
and made a leg for the boy. lie learned
to walk with it and walks and -runs with
it now so well that you'd hardly know
he'd lost a leg. "
"How long will a leg wear?" '
"It is. a question often asked me, and $
very hard one to answer. '.. I have atua
tomcr that has worn a leg for twenty-one
years, and I know men who would not
wear a leg two years. It is just as it is
with everything else. Some take care of
them and others stave them out very
quickly. Tho government, you know,
allow? soldiers a new leg every five years.
That looks as if they thought five years
was the average, hut . good legs will, in
my opinion' average at least eight years.
The price the government sets on 'em ia
shout the lowest they can be made for,
though some manufacturers ask twice as
much as that .
"How long does it take to make a leg?
"Well, I'll tell you. In war times they
said if a man made a leg in eight days
they were satisfied. "

' - Cancer Cured.
, Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old resident of Wal
ton county, and a. lady of culture and promi
nence, has this to say of the treatment of cancer
with Swift's tSpecine: .
Over fifteen years ago a cancer made its ap
pearance on my face. It was tieated with plas
ters, and the core came ont. The place healed
np after some time, and seemingly my face was
weu. However, in a few years it returned again
with more violence than ever. It gave me a
great deal bf pain. The former remedy seemed
to do it no Rood. Knowing the disease to ran
ui uw lamuy, naving naa one sister to die with
cancer I became seriously apprehensive of my
condition. : It continued to increase in size and
virulence. I Uniost gave unjtUhope of ever
oewg curea. . j.ne physicians auvTBoa the use
of the knife and caustic. This was more than
I could bear, and refused to have it ooerated
upon m that way. All other remedies were
nsed, but the cancer continued to grow worse.
The pain was excruciating, and my life was a
burden. In this extremity my son, Dr. Hard
man, recommended me to try Swift's Specinc
It was the last resort, bnt I was so prejudiced
against the use of patent medicines, and est -
cially this one, that I hesitated some time: At
last I gave my consent, not believing there was
any. virtue in it. xne nrst Dottle only increased
the size of the sore and the discharge from it,
and hence did not inspire me with any hope.
On taking the second bottle there were sitms of
improvement The spot began to decrease,
as well as the discharge, and hope sprang up
in my heart. Could it be, I asked myself, that
I was at last to be released of this disease? It
has given me so many dark hours in the past
that the idea of being well again almost over
powered me. .There was a contest between
hope and fear for a long time. It was a
long night of weeping, but joy came with the
morning. There is nothing left to mark the
place but a small scar, and I feel that it is im
possible for me to express my gratitude for this
great deliverance. It is a wonderful medicine.
