JUMPING THE ROPE.

The Boston Traveller states that a lit
tie school girl bantered with her comrades
that she could "skip a rope'' one hundred
times on one foot without stopping. She
performed her boast, but it nearly proved
fatal to her. She was taken INTO the
school house, and from thence to her
home, covered with blood. Not only was
the foot on which she skipped bathed in
blood, but itexuded from every pore in hel
skin, and stood in small drops all over hcl
body, arms and face. She remained ir
an extremely dangerous state for severa
days, but is now recovering.
