A New Man.

A 77-year-old citizen of Great Falls, Wash., is undergoing a peculiar process of physical regeneration. About a year ago he contracted pneumonia and his life was for some time despaired of, the doctors saying liis right lung was hopelessly wasted. He recovered, however, but when just able to hobblo around he fell and broke his thigh bone, and was confined to the hospital again for six months. Since leaving, however, his physical condition has improved remarkably. His lungs began to open up until they became almost as well as ever; his skin shed off and a new skin grew, and his hair and beard, which were a snow white, aro coming out a jet black. His limbs and muscles have limbered up, and he started a week or so since to take a herd of young horses across a long trail to market. He says if he continues to grow young he will get married again and grow up with the coun* try.
