A Wonderful Cherry Stone.

Robert IL. Cummins, of this town, has
had a remarkable experience with a cher
ry stone that perhaps Is without n record
ed parallel in the medical Journal, that
is, the removal of cherry stone from his
left ear after its lodgment there for more
Jaan forty years. 1t was slipped in his ear
when he was small boy while attending
the District school by mischievous play
mate who Is now the President OF II bank
in Western city. 1t was during the
cherry season and at the time the cherry
seed was put in his ear he was lying on
the schooI room floor asleep, when his
PLAYMATE Just for fun dropped the seed
IN his ear and when his finger pushed III
lust beyond the orifice where 1t has re-
manned ever since untll the last lew DAYS
He went ta DR.. S. NJ. fisles at the time
to geL it removed, but with only partial
attemDt at removal abandoned the effort
with the consoling assurance that IL
would never trouble him and ii never has
during the whole time, except occasion.
,l.ly When troubled with cold III his hta al
hs hearing in that ear would hecome-
little dull. About twenty-five years ago
;tskilful surgeon in New York city, made
an attempt to extractit, but without sue
cess at that time, and the operation being
so painful Mr.. G. determined 10 abandon
the attempt at removal prefernng the
seed TO remain quietly in his ear rather
than suffer the pain caused by the effort
Ot the surgeon at removal.
The case was so remarkable a. TO cause
doubts In the mind of the surgeon, As
- MIR. C.'s correctness until the seed was
actually grasped in his ear by his instru-
luent. Last Thlfrsday, however. in sy-
rnging his ear with soap suds, on appi-
cation he had never tried before, the
seed by some peculiar chemical action of
IAe sud, was forced out of the ear and
cropped into the wash basin much to
the surprise and delight OF Mr.. CnmminS,
who at first could scarcely believe his
own eyes.
He ha, the seed now in his possession
and when shown to the writer il looked
IA perfect in appearance as when that
hoy, all for fun, put it in orer forty gears

lieve, has been that foreign matter
