THE LITTLE QUAKER SINNER
A liilln Quaker maiden.with dimpled cheek and
chin,
Before an nneient mirror stood, and viewed her
form within,
&)o wmu h gown of sober gray, a capo demuro
nnd prim,
With only simple fold amHiem, yet dainty, neat
and trim.
Her bonnet, too, was gray and stitT; its only
line of grace
Was in the lace, so soft and white, shirred
round her rosy face.
Quoth she, “Oh, how I hate this hat! I hato
this gown and cane !
[ do wish all my clothes were not of such out*
Inndish shape l
The children parsing by to school have ribbons
on thoir hair;
The little girl next door wears blue; oh, dear,
if I could dare,
I know what I should like to do 1”—(The words
' were whispered low,
Lest snoh tremendous heresy should reach her
aunts below.)
Calmly renllng in the parlor sat the good
aunts. Faith and Peace,
Little dreaming how rebellious throbbed the
heart of their young niece.
AU their prudent, humble teaching willfully
she cant aside,
And, her mind now fully conquered by vanity
and pi ide,
She, with trembling heart and fingers, on a
hassock sat her down,
And this little Quaker sinner sewed a tuck into
her gown 1
“Little Patience, nrt tlion ready? Fifth-day
met ting time hah come.
Mercy Jones, and Goodman Elder with ids wifo
have loft their li'itno."
*Twae Aunt Faith’s sweet voice that called her,
ami the naughty little maid—*
Gliding down the dark old stairway—hoped
their notice to evade,
Keeping shyly in their shadow as they wont out
at the door.
Ah, never little Quakeress a guiltier conscience
boro!
Liar Aunt Faith walked looking upward; all
her thought* wen* pure and holy;
And Aunt Ponco walked gazing downward,with
a humble mind mi l lowly.
But “tuck -tuck !" iliirned* tho sparrows, at
the little UiaWlen’s side;
Ami. in passing Fanner Watson’s, where the
burn door opened w ide,
Every sound Hint i -sued from it, every grunt
and every cluck.
Boomed to her affrighted fancy like a “tuck 1”
“a tuck!” “r tinkr*
In meeting, Goodman Elder spoke of pride mid
vanity,
Whilo nil the Friends seemed looking round
that dreadful tuck to see.
How it swelled in its proportions, till it penned
to fill the Air,
And tho hem t of lit tie Patience grew heavier
with her care.
Oh, the glad relit f to her, when, pruyers and
exhortations ended, 1
Behind her two good auntie's her homeward way \
she wended l
Tho pomps and vanities of life slic’d seized
with eager arms,
And deeply sl o had tasted of the world’s allur-
ing climniM,—
lea, to the dregs had drained them, and only
this to find;
All was vanity of spirit and vexation of tho
mind.
Bo, repentant, smldeno l, humbled, on her haa-
soek she sat down,
And tliia little Quaker sinner lipped tho tuck
out of her gown !
HER THANKSGIVING.

"You, I’vo driven n stage for forty odd
yeor amongst tlie mounting, and I did
Bort of linln fo give it up nud settle down

rnntis ih iiny man's master wlnm it gits

in with a limm sbouldnr, it can't bo done.
"I’m some butter now, and I do drive
folks up nn’ down Waabin’ton nnco in n
while, but regular stagin' of it l’vo glvo
up. Railroads, too, bus act in moat
everywhere, so't there ian't liny great
call for ooaohea moro'u up aud down the
Glen."
"You must have hud n good mnuy ad
ventures,” I suggested.
“Adventures I Land I Wlmt could
happen to a feller drivfn’ along the road
and mindin’ of his business stendy ?”
Evidently I hud been too direct in my
question. I must try [mother bnit.
"Yon didn’t drive all winter, I sup
pose V”
"No, you better believe 1 didn’t! I
look a nmil oontrnok one year, nud nftor
'.now eume I curried the bug on a pnug,
Jr a liossbick, us the enso might be.
Onco in n whilo 1 footed it, when thoro
was a thick oriiHt, I hod snow shoes,
and I didn’t weigh in them days as
much as I do now.
" ’Twu’n’t Imt nnoo a week tlior’ was
any mail, and folks was skoroo up hero
winter times. Now and thou tiler’ was
a bouse in tho intervales, and tho folks
were no great letter-writers at that.
Newspapers was took, for tlioy gave us
ell tho news we hud. Thoro was the
Plymouth Jimnuil and suoli like came
to one man aud another, and wbh lent
around considerable to them tlint couldn’t
pay for ’em.”
"Hew < in ly in tho ye'- did snow bo-
gin to stop tho truvol boro ?” I nskod.
"Well, wo generally calc’latod to Htop
itagin’ about Thanksgiviu’ lime. There
was most always some to come homo for
that, and go hack a Sut’dav. Ho we
railed the Hat’day after Thanksgiviu’
our last trip, and most years wo got
through uitliout a real heavy, drifting
snow. Onoo I got kotohed, though.”
lie settled himself down into his arm
chair, crossed one leg above tho otlior,
laid down his pipe and took hold of hie
foot with one hand, w hile tho other firmly
grasped tho arm of his clmir. I knew
what that meant. Ho always took that
attitude to tell a story in. Then his
rugged face grow thoughtful, and his dull
gray eye lit up aud seemed to boo tho
past.
“ ’Tivas thirty year ngo come next No
vember— blcBS yon ! ’twas forty. Hoenis
is though the years run by as quick os
k fust trotter. Well, to begin at tho bo-
ginniu’, ten miles below hero, a piece up
ihe Huco Valley, there was a feller by tho
name of Mills bed a nice little farm set
in among the mountius, jest like a bird's
nest into u tree.
“He hadn’t more’n fifteen acres,
countin' the hill pastur', but ten ou’t
was medder-land, so lie mode what lie
ind his folks eat, and tlioy used to spin
lome and knit some, and buy some of
the old peddler’t come along twice a
year; and they was well off for this
country and them days.
"Mis’ Mills was a smart woman and a
good woman, with lots of natur’ about
her. But lie was nither bard; lmrcl-fa-
vored, hard-workin’, and some said hard
hearted, lint I dono as ho was, and I
dono us be wasn’t. He wasn’t a man to
tell everything to everybody, nor lie
wasn’t one of the Bmilin’ sort, lint ho
wasn’t the worst that over was nor yet
the best.
"There is folks enough like him, I
guess, moat everywhere, but most al
ways they have one soft spot in ’em, and
bis’n was his girl Nancy. Hhe was about
os slick-lookin’ a girl as over you see;
Straight as a spruoo and lively as a bobo
link, red cheeks and red lips, big brown
eyes, as soft and shy-like as a squirrel's,
and hair a-most down to her heels,
shinin’ jest like a still brook, and about
tho color of yellow-brown water, when
the sun shines on to’t.
"She was tho pick of the country, I
tell ye. and her folks set their life by
her. Tiler’ was a boy most ton years
younger; the children that had coma
between had died, throe in one week
and two in the next, of canker sore
throat. Nancy was up to Upper Bart
lett to her aunt’s, so she didn’t ketch it.
They reckoned ’twas fetched to the
honso by some travelin’ folks that had a
dreadful sick baby, and persuaded Mis’
Mills to take ’em in one night, when a
thunder-storm overtook them in
amongst tho hills.
“Thcr’ wasn’t a great many young
fellers in them parts, but what tlier’ was
dll oorae bmm’ round 'Iiiab Millses’
like bees onto a thistle-head. But
Nancy didn’t tako up with any of ’em,
and that jest snitod her folks. They
wouldn't part with her for the hull
world, they user! to say.
“But gals is gals, aud it they shako
off the boos, they’ll bo sweet to a but
terfly bs often ns not. Aud they're jest
like some bosses that yon can't drive
with n whip no way; but yon talk aud
coax of ’em into a bog-hole—of you
know how.
"There come along up to Bnrtlott the
slimmer tlint Nnuoy was twonty-one a
dreadful spry young city feller to paint
pictures nml sioh'; a real high-flyer he
was, smart ns a whip, olimbiug every
where, and drnwin’ out things to the
ltfo; trees aud brookB nnd rocks. Why,
you’d think yon lieerod tho water bub
blin' and dancin' nnd tumblin’ over the
stones, and tho wind squealin’ in tlio
piney woods, wlion you see ’em, tlioy
were so evcrlnstiu’ natural.
"Nancy she come up to lior Aunt
Mercy's, and she fell in with this feller
mighty quick, Fnot is, bo see her to
meeliu’, nnd was took at onoo. No
wonder, for slio was prettier'u a posio,
nnd a sight to behold any day, particu
lar wlion slio got on her Sunday bumict
with a pink rlbbin on to it, nnd a pink
gown and white nape, ns tnsty as au
iqiple-blow,
"lie was smart, too, nnd more tlmu
comm in good-lookin’; eyes as koon ns a
ha.ili, and shiny block, hair ourlin’ onto
.his h a 1, straight, sl.m and well sot up.
1 toll ye, Nancy set by tlio ground lio
stepped on before long,
"Well, ’(wns the old story. Hor
folks got word Bomoliow or 'liotlior—a
bird in tlio air’ll carry seeb matters, yo
know—Mint slio was hoopin’ company
nitli Mister Poll Hlmttiick, n Boston
feller ; anil 'Iiiab Mills lie was mail. Yo
see, lie hadn't no great faith in city
folks, Tiler’ was come hard ones come
up Rummers to the mountius, undor the
idee that amongst the woods, where
llier’ wasn’t no great of folks, tlioy oould
do ns tlioy was a mind to, nud they did ;
and’iwa’ii’t real good behavior, now 1
toll yo I Ho’Liab got sot against Mint
sort, and when ho lioerd Nancy wns
keepin’ Company with Sliattnck lie ruled
right up.
"Ami ho did the most oupolilio thing
lie could. Ho whisked up to Mis’
Marcy's, and ho lore round liko all pos-
ni, nnd fetched Nance hum quick as
she could bnudlo iier clothes up, and
kept her light ns a string night and dny,
a-settin’ his shotgun close to tho door
mid forbiddiii* her so much ns to think
of that city Idler ng'in.
"Mis’ Mills she cried night nnd day,
they said. Hho felt for Nauoy, yo see,
and she kunwed Mint 'Linb was tlio kind
tlmt never lot up on nobody. Well, tlio
upshot wns Mint Nancy, alter tollin’ her
mother alio was goin’, ran away one
dark night; ran with Poll Hhattnok on
a buokbonrd down to Plymouth, uud so
was off.
"Hhe sont word to hor mother that
slio wuh married, and I lieord afterward
Mint Mis’ Mills got it; but slio nover
lieord from Nnnoy again. Not but wlmt
Nnuoy writ to her, for Lizy Mann,
whoso pn kep’ tho postoflloo down to
Uonwny, told nftorward that there whh
letters and letters como for Mis’ Mills
from Boston ; but quick as ’Linb look
’em out, he’d step round into Matin's
kitohon and chuck 'em into tho fire.
"Well, Mis’ Mills bIio grow peaked nil
tlio time. Sh'd boon a real good-look
in’ woman; full-fnoed nnd nightly; but
slio was thin us iklutli before full sot in,
and 'Linb kop’ a tollin' her ’t Nance
wn'n’t worth oryiu’ for. Him married a
poor beggar against his will, and wns
liko enough scriibhln’ for lircud now
nud served her right.
“Now, Nancy did not do jest the right
thing in leavin' her homo without trylu'
the better to o-mvineo hor hither that
her beau was worthy of hor. But'Linb
ought not to have made that tlio occa
sion of torturing his wife. It was a hard
ease anyway, but tho poor woman was
not to blauio, dome full of tlio year
next after that wlion Nnnoy went, it did
look ns though Mis' Mills would give np
tlio glmst, .'.lie was an weak and feeble;
and Un'lly 'Linb seemed toseo it, and ho
got a doctor down from Bnrtlott, nnd
M is’ Maroy wuh to unsa hor, and Lurnny
Mann aho come up to do tlio chores.
“Now, Nnncy had not heard n word
from her mother all this timo, for Mis’
Mills didn’t know where to writo to, ho
Nancy aim'd write now and agi’u to Lizy
Mann, nnd lieerod from her jest how
things was ngoiu' on up to Millses’.
"When 'twas along about tho third’
week, this November, Lizy hail lot her
know how her mu was, nud wlmt tlio
iloetor said—or didn’t any—and what
queer spells alio lmd. I’d beared of
Nancy from Rome folks down Boston,
who come up Mint Hoptombor to Conway
(o soo tlio turned leaves, nnd got sot
baok, for they said tlioy wa’n't nothing
In look at oompnrod to the woods about
Boston. I don’t say tlioy was; but Bos
ton folks—well, maybe you’re a Boston
woman ?”
1 laughed, and he went oaok to his
storv.
"Them folks bein’ on my beat, I mndo
bold io ask ’em if they know one Poll
HUnttuck. And land I Tlioy couldn’t
have said much more about him if he’d
lien the ’Fostlo Poll. They told how
well off ho was, aud what a big hotrso his
folks had, Tlioy said he’d fetched homo
a beautiful voting gal from tlio moun
tains, and put her right in hiB mother s
house, for to bo taught music aud seeb,
nud lmd married her, nud wlmt a lucky
gal siio was, nud how olever ho wns, nud
no end of talk. I tell you I was gliul to
hour Nnnoy wasn’t in no trouble.
"Well, come die dny but ono before
Thanksgiving, I was down to Plymouth
with tlio stage and six bosses, for I mis
trusted thero’d be failin’ woathor, aud
maybe a hard pull, and I was goin'
through the Notch up to Crawford’s;
well—wliat do you think7—who should
come up uud got into tho stage when I
was ready next day but Poll Bhattuck
and Naiiiiy I
"J kuowed lier in a minnit, though
slio wuh all done up iu fur and volvot
liko u dolly, but them eyes and ebooks
was Nancy MillHes’ for certain; and lie
made of her oh though she was clear
sugar, and they was happy as two birds.
"Hhe didn’t know me; for I ivn3
fetched up over t'other way, to Frau-
conye, and tlio singe 1 d.iv never had
fetched anybody to 'Linb Millses.’ Tho
| main road run t’other side of Hnco, and
liis farm lied a bridge to it.
“But I wn’u’t goin’ to toll her that
I'd iieered that 111 ih' Mills was real low.
Offered nows is sometmn' liko offered
Biirvico, ’specially if it’s had news. Be
sides I lmd enough to do to tend up to
my imainoss, for it come on to snow
thick an’ fast, and it snew and blew at
suoli a rnto ofler we’d fairly left
Plymouth that I wns sure we shouldn't
get to North Bartlett that night.
"But before wo got a-past North
Conway wo'd dropped all tho passengers
exeopt them two, and she’d said she
wanted to stop at Millses’ farm, nnd he
was goin’ on to Bartlett—but ho didn’t.
“ T w a’n't no use. No bosses on tho
livin’ airtli oould do it. Tho road was
drifted up so 'twos all wo could do to got
to Millses’, and when we was jest aorost
tho bridge, I says to Jim Price, who was
along with me:
“ ‘Jim,’ says I, ‘onhnrncss them two
lenders and walk ’em to the bam’—that
was n rod or so nearer ’n the house—
'and then take the others along aud leave
tho stage a-Rinndin’. I’ll take these
folks up to the house afoot, for the

I “Well, Jim ho got down aud done as I

I anyhow. Ho aud me, wo took turns
carryiu’ of her, and we floundered like
mired cattle. I set her down to tho
back door. The house was lighted
more’n usual, but she novor noticed it.
She flung off the snow that had stack to
her gown, and wont in without a knock,
and I after her. He stayed in the shed,
" ’Liab Mills was sottln' by tho stove,
his head in liis hands. Tlie bedroom

A MAKVKL0U8 LITTLE STREAM.
Wherein lllrils timl IteiiNln are ('might mid
llopelcHBly lli-lil Captive.
At a distanco of thirty miles south of
tho ltiver Diamante our route passed by
a natural object of oousiderublo interest
—a stream, or rather rill, of yellowish
white fluid like petroleum issuing from
tlio mountain sido nt ii considerable
height uud trickling down the slope till
lost In tlio porous soil of tlio valley be
low. Tlio source from which it flowed
was nl the junction where a hard mein-
morphio rook, interspersed with small
crystals of ngnito, overlay a stratum of
voluuuio tufa. It was formed liko tho
orator of a volcano nnd full of black, bi
tuminous matter, hot nud sticky, which
could lie stirred up to the depth of about
eighteen inches.
Floundering in it was a polecat oi
skunk (Mephetis variiiiis), having been
entioed to its fate by iho desire of scour-
ing a bird caught iu the natural bird
lime, till a bullet from the revolver of
one of tlio party terminated the skunk’s
struggles to extriouto itsolf from tlio
warm and adhesive hath iu wliioli it was
hopelessly held enptivo. The overflow
from this fountain was, iih described,
liko a stream of petroleum two or three
feot wide trickling over a bed of pitch or
some suoh substance, which extended to
n much greater width along Iho edge of
the running stream nt itn contact with
it. ThiB material wns of a very sticky
nature, beoomiug gradually harder ns it
spread further out, assuming tho appear-
nueo of asphalt when it becnuio min
gled with the loose sand of tlio adjoining
soil.
Whilo engaged in examining this nat
ural curiosity, wo came upon two small
birds, ounght in tlio sticky substance at
tho edge of Iho stream; they were still
alive, but upon releasing them both tlio
feathers nud tlio skin came off whore
they had oomo iu contact with tho bi
tuminous matter, so that we had to kill
them to put tin end to their sufferings.
No doubt they hud I icon taken in by tiio
appearance of water which tho stream
presented and laid alighted to drink,
when they discovered their mistake too
late. Their fate suggested tlio idea that
iu a district so devoid of water others of
tlie fcnthertrilics must constantly become
victims to tlie same delusion iu a similar
manner, uud upon eloso inspection of the
stream tlie correctness of this iuferenoo
wns established by the discovery of nu
merous skeletons of lords imbedded iu
in it; nor were those of small quadru
peds unrepresented, among which wo
recognized tho remains of n fox.—From
'Across the Pampas."
Record of Hot Summers.
In 627 the heat was so groat iu France
nnd Gormuiiy that all tho springs dried
up; water bocamo so scareo that many
people died of thirst Iu 870 work iu the
iields hail to be given up; agricultural
laborers persisting iu their work wort
struck down iu a few minutes, so power
ful was the sun. In 993 Ihe sun’s rays
were so fierce that vegetation burned ns
under the action of fire. In 1(100 rivers
ran dry under the protracted heat; the
fish were left dry in heaps and pntrified
in a fow hours. Tlio stenoli Mint ensued
produced the plague. Men uud animals
venturing in thu sun in 1022 fell down
dying; the throat parched to n tinder
and the blood rushed to tho brain. In
1132 not only did the rivers dry up, but
the ground cracked on every side, and
beoame baked to the hardness of stone.
The Rhine, in Alsaoe, nearly dried up.
Italy was visited by a terrific heat in
1139; vegetation and plants were burned
up. During the battle of Bela, in 1200,
thore were more victims made by the
sun than by weapons; men fell down
ouustruok iu regular rows. In 1303 and
1304 the Rhine, Loire aud Seine rau dry.
Bcotlaud suffered particularly in 1025;
men and beasts died in scores. The heat
in several French departments during
the summer of 1705 was equal to that in
a glass fnrnace. Meat could be cooked
by merely exposing it to the sun. Not
a soul dared venture ont between uoou
and 4 p. m. In 1718 many shops had
to close; the theatres never opened their
doors for several months, in 1702 the
thermometer rose to 118 degrees,
CONSUMPTION,

Hall's Journal of Health, referring to Con-
•umption, makes the following important
statement:
“Consuinntion usually begins with a slight,
dry cough In the morning, then on going to
bed, getting more nnd more frequent, with
more and moro phlegm, increasing debility,
thinness of flesh, shortness of breath, ami
quickness of pulses In fatal coses its nvorago
Course is about two yoars; hence the import

Seized nnd taken in execution as tho
property of Mra. Catharine N , and
will bo sold for cash by
William Waud, Constable.
"It's np, boys; there it is iu black
and whito,” Bpoko Harry Edwards to
liis five companions who stood reading
tho above notioo of sale,
"Yes," answered Al. Penrose, "nnd 1
think it a downright slinmo for a rich
ninu liko Mr, Bowser to distress a poor
widow.”
"Well, boys,” intorposod Harry,
"slio’s an honest, hardworking woninii.
I move we help hor out of the difll-
oulty.”
"Agreed,” was the unanimous re
sponse.
"But how shall wo prooeod ?" interro
gated Al.
"By subscriptions from tlie town-
folks,” suggested Willio Porker.
"No, that will not do,” quickly re
sponded Harry. "Let us bo inde
pendent ot tlio people. Lot mo hoc,” ho
continued meditatively, "tlio sale will
tako place tho dny nftor Thanksgiving.
Bupposo we go to work for somo of tlio
farmers at a cheap rate nud cancel tlio
execution iu the ooustablo’a hands nml
present her with tho receipt on Thanks
giving morning.”
"Hurrah 1 that’s a grand idea I”
chorused tho boys.
"There are six of us, nnd I am told
tho nmount of rent arrenrngo is but four
dollars,” continued Harry. "Now, if
wo cun sncoced in prevailing upon somo
fnrmor to give us work until tlint amount
is earned wo can satisfy tho execution
nnd have two dollars for her to buy
a few necessary artioles."
"Lot’s call on Furmor Adkins,” snid
Willie, "perhaps he oim find something
for us to do.”
"To Farmer AdkinB then wo go I”
they said.
They found the old fnrmor iu tlie
barn along with ono of liis colored men,
busily engaged in shelling corn. Tlio
gfx boys crowded into the burn without
tlio formalities of au introduction,
Fnrmcr Adkins put down liis basket ot
oorn, adjusted liis spectacles nnd
frowned upon the boys. “Well, you
young rogues,” ho gruffly spoke, "you've
stolo my apples, nud now I presume you
have the impudence to come anil ask for
bugg to tnku them home in I"
'X’liiB specoli and tho milliner of his re
ception somewhat chilled the benevolent
enthusiasm of the boys.
"No, Hir," iilowly and nervously re
sponded Harry. "Wo do not nsk for
apples. Wo oomo upon an errand of
merev, anil invoke your assistance.”
‘•Why, bless mo,” said ihe fnrmcr, in
surprise, "the world grows stranger
every day. What can you mean ?"
’'Why, just this,” resumed Hurry.
“Mr. Bowser has levied upon the goods
of tho widow N . Ton and every
body else in tho villngo knows her (o no
an honest, Christian woman. But afflic
tion has overtaken her, and she is un
able to help herself. Now, wo propose
to reliovo her distress on Thanksgiving
Day, We have not oomo to beg. Wo
do not solicit donations. Wo came for
work.”
"Work I why bless you, children,
there's not much work about a farm iu
winter timo; but hold on a minute,"
spoke np tlie old farmer briskly. "I
kind of admire yonr spirit, and I know
tho widow to lio an honest woman, ns
you Bay. Now, do you sco that ‘rank’
of wood?”
"Yob, sir,” they answered.
"Aro you willing to taokle it and
stiok to it until it is all sawed nnd
split?”
"Yes, sir,” more vigorously than be
fore.
"Well, come ont horo to-morrow
afternoon, which is Saturday, nnd you’ll
find tho tools ready for business.”
Tlie boys tlinnkod him, and noon of
Saturday found them on baud. To
work they went. The old fnrmer walked
around chuckling to himself, but not a
word did he ntter to tho boys. In tlio
deepening twilight the saws censed, nnd
with a lond huzza tho boys throw lip
thoir caps, for the wood-pile had disiqi-
peored, being sawed, split and piled in
tho shed.
"What’s the damage?” said the farmer
sentontionsly, as he knocked the ashes
from his pipe.
"Wo leave the rate of wages to your
own determination,” said Harry.
“Well," said tho farmer, drawing nn
old bag from liis pookot, "I guess it's
wortli $1.25 apiece, so here’s $7.50 to
divide between you.”
“Hurrah for Farmer Adkins 1" ex-
olaimed Harry, and tlio others joined in
witli a hearty chorus.
On Monday tlio constnhlo was hunted
np, the exooution satisfied, but lie was
enjoined to keep it a secret and let the
notioo remain.
Thanksgiving Day came, and cnrly
sunrise fonnd tlie boys at tlie widows
house, aud when it was found that tho
notice had disappeared, and the manner
.in which it had been accomplished, tlio
whole village rejoiced, aud as Harry re
lated tho circumstances to his father
and mother at tho midday meal that day,
of how thuukful and humble nmi re
joiced the widow was as she lay upon
hersiok bed, liis father commended him,
aud iu invoking tho divino blessing
npon their Thanksgiving dinner, chose
ns his closing remarks: "And it is more
blessed to give than to receive I"
Singular Surgical Cash.—By the
explosion of a gun last April, au iron
breeoh pin, one nnd a half inches long
nnd weighing 615 grains, was blown into
tho brain of Emerson McColm, of Mun-
cie, Ind. This heavy piece of iron,
several pieces of bone aud pieoes of his
felt hat wore withdrawn from quito a
diBtaueo in his head and without trepan-
ning, by making an opening in tho
frontal bone, through whioh half a tea-
spoonful of brains oozed. The wound
has healed and the patient experiences
no inconvenience, except from tho hot
rnys of the sun, and is as well as ever.
The oase is among the most remarkablo
on record.

Tho following account of the remark-
nblo friendship butweon the elephuul
"Queen” nnd little Don Melville il
taken from tho artiolo by John W. Cor
yell in St, Nicholas for October: "Wlma
ho could just toddle, Don would run up
to Queen witli a chuckle of delight, uud
putting his white, plump little arms
around her great brown, hairy trunk,
would tng away with all his li'tle
strength, ns if ho believed ho could pul)
tlint living mountain over.
"And, strange to stay, ho actmilly no
complislied his objeot, for Queen hu
mored the little fellow’s fancy. Sway
ing anil rumbling with delight, she
would gradually allow herself to come
to her knees, nnd finally to full over on
lior side. Aud it was touching to see
how all tho time she kept her eyes lov
ingly on tho beantifnl baby, taking care
tlint no movement of hers should eve;
disturb him!
"When sho was at last prostrnto, Don
would look around as if to say, ’See
what I oau do !' Then ho would Imitate
what ho had seen the trainer porform.
He would dumber and climb until lie
was on Queen's head, and there he
would sit, with the air of a conqueror,
lie wns quito likely to thrust his little
fist into the elephnnt’s eye or to swing
liis foot into her mouth, butnotnmuliou
would tlie patient creature make while
lie sat there, for sho seemed to know
that he wns not very seouro in his high
porch.
"Sometimes Don would enrry his
piotnre-blooks to Queen, nnd together
they would build houses. Don would
put on one block, nnd then Queen
would take one np in her trunk aud put
it in its plnce ns oarefnlly as if she had
been used to tlio game all hor life; and
when Don would kick the house down,
as lie usually did when it wns about half
built, his merry laugh and hor thunder-
like rumble were something worth going
miles to hear.
"It never seemed to occur to Don
that there was anything odd iu his com
panionship with the gigautio orenture;
and lmd it entered his little head to do
so, there is no doubt that ho would have
proposed a walk in the fields with her,
with ns much innocence as if slio had
been a small dog.”
