Remarkable Visitations Upon the
body of a Kentucky Woman.
From the Chicaoo Herald.
Louisville, March 5. —Almost two
years ago a sensation was created here and
especially in Catholic circles by the report
of the strange visitations upon the body of
Mrs. Mary Stuckenborg. Many Catholics
who did not believe that the day of miracles
is past declared that Mrs. Stuckenborg is
ulessed with the stigmata, or, in other
words, that the manifestations on her body
every Friday afternoon ure of divine ori
gin. Bishop McCloskey took the case in
charge and the woman was for weeks
watched at St. Joseph’s infirmary. She
became tired of staying there, and when
she and her husband found board elsewhere
the criests for a time discontinued their
ivatcb.
About six months ago the priests again
took charge of the woman. Alter her re
moval from St. Joseph’s infirmary the so
called manifestations continued to appear
with the usual regularity aud they began to
take interest. For weeks she was in a house
near the o nvent of the Good Shepherd and
a olose watch was kept over her by father
Bachman. Several ino ths ago she was re
moved to St. Bridget’s parish, where Father
Connally has watched over her. Often on
Fridays there have been as many as half a
dozen priests at the house during the trance.
The first of the so-called manifestations oc
ourred o i the first Friday atter.ioon in
Juno, 1891, aud on every Friday for nearly
two yea: s Mrs. Stuokenborg has fallen into
nn ecstatic condition, which did not seem to
be exactly a trance or a oouvulslon. At 3
o’clock she become < uuconsoious aud falls
upon her hack as stiff as a piece of iron, aud
while her feet are crossed her arms are ex
tended almost at right angles to the body,
though slightly bent at the elbows. In
brief, she assumes the exact position of a
person who might be fastened to across.
From boles in the couter of the palms of
her hands, and from similar wounds on each
instep, extending through the foot, on Fri.
day the blood oozes slowly. Though uncon
scious and indexible in body her bosom
heaves as though in terrible agony, and she
holds her breath until it would seem that
she might die ot exhaustion. The physicians
who investigated the case thought it re
markable that she survived the oft-recur
ring attacks. The unconscious period has
neither lengthened nor shortened. She falls
into that condition at 3 o’clock and remains
that way until exactly (3. For a few hours
afterward she is weak, but the next day is
always able to perform ber domestic duties.
Recently, though, this bus not bten
the case; her health seems to be gradually
breaking down, and me result ruay be seri
our if the uttacks continue. There does not
appear to be the slightest chance for their
cessation, as they have occurred now for
almost 10J consecutive Fridays. The crosses
on rer forehead and chest are cow perfect
and slightly raised above the skin. The
letters "I. H, S.” on the right shoulder are
stall visible. Efforts have twice been made
to give the mysterious cubs a thoroughly
scientific examination, but the plans cm Id
not be carried out, and they have not yet
been abandoned.
A Cape Coddzr tells the Boston Journal how
he cured a sttling hen "I made,” be says,
“half a dozen snowballs and soaked them in

A CELESTIAL MUMMY.
A Tale Invented by a Chinamen for
& Reporter’s Edification.
From the Sew York Recorder
Last Wednesday evening au incident oc
curred in Chinatown that stirred the reei
denteto the extreme alcoves of their three
cornered eoule. Some toilers of the sea
were out celebrating tne anniversary of
Washington’s birthday, and eventually
found themselves in the wilds of Mott
street.
The sailors had tried fantau and were on
their wav to investigate the pipe when they
found themselves in tbe presence of a Chi
nese mummy.
W nether they did not like the expreesion
on the mummy's countenance, or to what
they took offenee cannot be said, but at all
events tbe ancient relic was seized upon
and boroiapidly to the street, and amid
the chattering and frantic gesticulation of
the excited Celestials was handled in a
most ignominious and ribald manner, and
finally cast upon a uassing dray, causing
the horrified postilion to contort himself
into series of epasmodio demonstrations,
when it finally feil to tho ground, aud was
q icklv spirited away to parts unknown.
It seems away back a century or more
ago there were a certain conjurer. Yen See
by name, m bis art the greatest in the land.
For him to call serpents from twigs of
wood or produce fire from a pool of water,
wa* but child’s play.
One day he was summoned before the
king toshow bis talent. After performing
many wonderful feats he finally produced a
bail of twine and, calling a small boy to
him, through the Kail of twipe into the air
aud told tbe small boy to ascend, which he
did, disappearing from the eyes of tbe kiug
only to i.e called back by a jerk of the oord
from Yen Sen.
The royal nudience was so delighted with
this extraordinary feat, that the king com
manded his youngest sou to take the place
i f tbe urchin, aud go up the cord, thus
showing his con dence in tbe conjurer.
When the young prince approached bis
fate ho objected to going up on the same
cord that had been used for the Celestial
gamin befo.-e him, and when Yen Lee ex
: lamed that he had no other handy, since
his wife had hung the clothes out on the
only other one he did have that morning,
the child became ancrv, aud as he began
his ascent of the cord, lie expectorated in
Yen Lee’s loft optic and kicked bim under
the chin, as a patting tribute. This so
angered Yen Lee that he let go the cord and
the boy never came down.
Then the kiug became very wroth and
pronounced a curse ou Yen Lee, declaring
that his hones should he reviled of men,
cast into the streets, and barked at by dogs,
and then bad him embalmed alive.
Since that time ins descendants have
scrupulously o red for bis remains, to pre
vent the carying out of the king’s curse.
Ah Chin Lee kept tbe remains in a cor
ner of his store till last night. Their pres
ent whereabouts is unknown, but the awful
prophecy is fulfilled, or so thinks, or affects
to think, the calm, almond-eved individual
who told this tale to the reporter. Some
C elestials have a sense of humor and even
a faculty of invention.
ALMOST TOO WEuL TRAINED.
A Dog’s Intell'gancv Costs Him His
Life and Nearly Loses Lis Master’s.
From the Youth's Companion.
Dynamite fishing—tbe killing of fish by
exploding dynamite bombs under or upon
tbe water, and then gathering the stunned
or killed fish which are brought to the sur
face—is so generally oomdemned there will
not be much sympathy for the human per
former in the following tragedy, recorded
in some of the Euglish newspapers.
A man in Bideford, in the southwestern
part of England, bad a dog which he had
carefully trained to bring Cos him what
ever he had thrown into tbe water. Eany
one mornlug this man went out to a pond
near bis place, carrying with him a dyna
mite bomb with which he intended to make
a haul of the trout in the pond. He lighted
tho fuse, aud threw the bomb into the
water.
Uniuckly he had either failed to notice or
else had forgotton that his dog followed
him. On the instant the dog sprang into
the water, swam to the floating bomb, seized
It and brought it ashore, to place it at bis
master's feet.
Tbe man tried to command the dog to
drop the terrible object, but tbe animal
showed the excellence of his training by
clinging to it and rapidly approaching the
shore.
Then the lazy fisherman took to his heels.
The dog came ashore and followed him at a
more rapid rata than tho man could run
the dynamite still in.ita mouth aud tbe fuse
burning.
It was a wild race for a high wall not far
away. The dog gained every instant. The
man was in despair, for he knew the bomb
would explode presently with murderous
force. Hu reached the wall, aud scrambled
over it just in time, for at that instant, as
the dog came to the foot of the wall, the
dynamite exploded.
The unfortunate dog was blown to atoms,
but tho man escaped with a severe shaking
up and a disposition to fish in the future
with a hook and line.
Little Mabel—Mamma, don't you think I
can teach Fido to talk i Mamma—No, dear;
what made you think you could? Little
Mabel—Well, when I gave him his dinner
he growled just like you say papa does when
his meal doesn’t please him. —Chicago Inter

IN DSATB VALLEY”
Was Found World’s Great Store-
Houee of Borax.
From the Epicure.
When the story of the nineteenth century
is written it will be found that it is cbiefiy
in the last third that the most astonishing
steps forward have been taken, the first
portion showing rather the laying of the
foundations for progress thau marked feat
ures of the thiog itself.
It is not alone telephone and phonograph
end electricity harnessed in a hundred forms
to the use of man, but earth itself has
joined with air and all subtle foroes to yield,
from hitherto unknown resources, a myriad
aids to easier living
I’etroleum began it, aDd in the search for
oil many another mystery disclosed itself.
It was plain that earth held in hiding not
only many a form of light, beat and color,
but purifying agents, thus far known only
to the working chemist, and first and obief
among these came borax, till the beginning
of the present generation rare and costly,
and used only by blacksmiths in welding
steel, and occasionally In medioine.
Up to 1857 borax oamo to us from the
Ea<-t Indies, Persia and Italy, was refined in
Venice and in England, and imported at a
cost of $1 a pound, often more, its high
price offering strong temptation to adulter
ation.
In 1869 tho price had fallen to 40 cents a
pounds, and in 1879 toll, and from that
time borax has remained a cheap com
modity within the reach of all
How has this been brought about? Out of
DISASTER AND HUMAN SUFFERING,
so sharp that the volley first found to be
rich in this deposit bears yet the name,
“The Death Valley,” wbero tho discoverers
of the borax deposits found, in 1807, the
remains of emigrant wagons undecayed,
and their tracks still plain i 1 the hardening
sand, though thirty years bad passed since
hope left them and the little company one
by one lay down to die.
Gold alone had been the object of the
party who sought to enter California'by the
way of Balt Lake, aid who, halting in the
Death Valley, in Inyo county, California,
found a heat so intense that, added to the
lack of water, it made furtner progress im
possi le, only a Tew of the stronger ones
escaping to tell the tale.
Later experts, sent out to report if gold
were really to bo found in tho valley, came
upon the borax fields, and later the deposits
in Nevada.
From the Paoiflo coast, 4,000,000 pounds a
year are supplied for home consumption,
which has now isaehed the astonishing
total of 10,000,000 pounds yearly, with a
constantly growing demand.
Once introduced Into family use, whether
in kitchen, lauudry or nursery, It becomes
an essential.
Borax form* by crystallization, and every
student of mineralogy knows that in this
fact is nature’s own guarantee of purity, a
crystal in the nature of thiugg being a bso
iutely pure.
Reduced to the pondered form which has
been found roost useful for daily service it
is, of course, possible to add cheaper and
heavier aaulterations, but frequently analy
sis shows that this is seldom done and never
by reputable companies.
In is present form it has numberless
uses, the nr.s finding it no less essential
tnau medicine and the household. Dis not
only disinfectant but antiseotio and invalu
able i j the washing of clotbiug or bedding
suspected of infection.
AS A SOFTENER OF HARD WATER
it is of tbe greatest use in regions where
lime enters largely into the geological
f rrnatlou and tho water is unfit for washing.
A= used by physic an#, it not only softens
but purifies water, hsals ulcers and bolls,
relieves bruise?, sprains aud burns, allay#
infismmatiuu and prickly beat, is useful tu
catarrh and acidity of the stomaoh, and as
au antiseptic in typhoid fever, cholera and

It is the housekeeper, however, who reaps
most constant benefit from its use, and to
one of an experimental turn of mind more
and more methods will present themselves.
It is in all cases a safer form than many
preparations of soda, and the slightly larger
cost would not prevent Its use rather than
cheap and irritating substitutes, the nature
of which can soon be judged by the elfect

No less friendly in its notion than the
forms of petroleum known as vaseline, and
its preparations, it is one of the gifts of
nature, whose surprises in thiß direction
are but just beginning, and whose resources
seem inexhaustible.
THOSE 810 SNAKES.
They Do Have Powerful Voracious Ap
petites for Small Boys.
From the St. Paul Daily Globe.
Baraboo, Wis. , March I.—The snake
bouse connected with Ringllng Bros.’circus
winter quarters at Barahoo, Wis., is a
center of attraction for the small boy* of
the village. What there is about snakes so
peculiarly attractive to boys is something
no fellow can find out. If 1 were ever fas
ciliated by these •‘insects” in my youthful
days I have forgotten ft. The order* to at
tendants are veiy strict on the subject of
boys in relation to the snake bouse, and this,
of course, only renders trie vicinity the more
interesting to the venturesome youth of the
town. Up to tne present time the attend
ant have succeeded in keeping the kids at a
safe distance, and it was only because ho
was sucbia diminutive little follow that a
tow-beaded urchin succeeded in running
the guards last Friday, when the snake
cages were being removoi to the new and
larger quarters reoeutly provided for the
huge reptiles.
How it happened no one is able to ex
plain. The men were removing the pythons
and boa oonstnctors from their old cages
into the new ones. The door of "Ben
Abmid'e” cage—B. A. being a monster boa
thirty-two feet long—was temporarily left
open while the men went out into the yard
to get the new cage. In these few mumeuls
a little tot of a Norwegian boy, who had
come into town with his father, who was
bus v with the Kingllngs negotiating a tale
of oats, slipped across the yard and into the
rear door of the snake house. W hat he sa w
there probably paralyzed him with wonder
or fear. Whatever it was, he bad but little
time to reflect on the wonders of natural
history, for the boa no sooner saw the little
fellow than his mind, orjjmstmct, or what
ever be calls his think works, reverted to
some long past appetizing scenes iu bis na
tive India, aud he sp ang from the cage
with distended jaws and gobbled the young
ster.
When the attendants returned with Ben’s
Dew cage they were horrified to descry a
fast-disappear)Dg pair of legs sticking out
through the monster’s jaws. Ihe great ser
pent’s eyes were aflame with excitement,
and in at other second or two the poor little
Norwegian boy would have disappeared
from view forever. It happened that Henry
Ringllng, a giant in strength and stature,
was present. He H a man of quick im
pulses, aud without counting tne cost or
fore-eelug the danger, he grasped the rer
pent arouod the neck and commenced
shaking It. With one swipe of ita muscular
tail it sent Mr. Klngiiug scurryiug heels
over head across the floor.
A1 Kingling happened in. He took in
the situation at a glance. Grasping a long
chain lying on the floor, be passed it around
the serpent’s body at a point about six
inches below where he thought the child’s
head would be. Directing several attend
ants to grasp either end of the chain and
pull with all their strength, he was gratl
lieito notl a a relaxation of the snake’s
efforts to swallow the child. Then this
chain was made fast. The snake’* tail was

He still continued to gulp. But his game
was up. Two men Inserted i wagon
jack between his jaws, and by degrees they
were pried open and the boy pulled out.
His head and body were covered with a
thick saliva of a peculiarly offensive odor.
The boy gasped for breath aud then burst
into tears. Then he looked around in a
wondering way and ran out of the house
and across the snow to his father’s wagon.
Two hours afterward he was in a drug
store munching almond osmdy and drinking
soda. But his hair, which his father said
was of that peculiar light shade so notice
able in Norwegians, bod turned three
shades lighter. His experience was a dire
ful one, but was happily attended with no
ill effects.

Mr. Cleveland is ulways pleasant.”
"You called quite early, Henator ”

any one who might come along.”
"It is generally stated that you went not

"Generally stated by whom?”
'•Well —er —by the correspondents aud
politicians generally.”
"Very sorry, but I hove nothing to say
on the subject—nothing whatever.”
