A Bullet In Her Brain.

One of the most remarkable cases
of shooting on record is that of a
Chinawoman who was shot through
the brain, and is still alive with the
ball lodged 10 her head. Oae night,
about two years ago, Il Chinese wo-
man named Lee Queen, while seated
in her house on Spotford alley, was
approached by a Chinese highlander,
who asked her to give him some
money or jewelry. She refused to
comply with bis demand, w%hereupon
be drew a revolver from under his
blouse and fred at her head. A few
moments after the shooting the po-
lice came up and finding the womsn
wounded in the head, conveyed her
to the Central Receiving Hospital,
where upon examination it was dis
covered that she had been wounded
over the left eye, the bullet in its
coarse destroying that organ. The
bullet passed inward and upward,
and touched the brain. Before DR..
Stixers, the police surgeon, who had
been sent for, arrived, the woman
lost nearly three ~spoonsful of brain
matter, which had oozed through the
wound The surgeon dressed the
wound, but gave it as bis opinion at
that time that the woman could not
live but a few hours. He " as desir-
GUS Of keeping her OF the hospital,
but her friends insisted upon remov-
ing her to her home, and be consent
ed to let her go. He continued to
visit her, and in the curse of time
she gave hopes of recovery. She
did no die, as was expected, but
continued to Improve, and now she
is alive and well. The bullet, which
could not be traced or extracted, is
still IN her head.

The Oeacon's Mistake.

A good deacon in Davenport, Iowa,
saw q drunken nan whom be knew.
driving aimlessly about the streets
one dark night. Tae deacon kindly
got into the sleigh and took The reins,
intending to take the drunkard to his
home, which was two miles away but
disliking the idea Of walking back, he
stopped at the tavern to fad some
body who could more conveniently DO
the job.
While be was 10 the tavern the
drunksrd drove off by himself, and d
young fellow arrived with bis girl in
q sleigh. Tue young fellow en- cred
the tavern, leaving his girl muflied 10
a blanket, to wait while be got a drink.
The deacon found a volunteer TO take
bis place as guide to the drunkard
but the volunteer, on going to the
sleigh that then stood in front of the
tavern, discovered the occupant was
not the drunkard, and said to the
deacon:
"It's 0 girl out there"
"No, '%tsint," replied the deacon,
who thought that she was the drunk
ard.
He pct one arm around her and
roughly pulled away the blanket.
She screamed for help. Her lover
ran out and gave the deacon a severe
whipping. Then they took the good
deacon into the tavern, washed the
blood from his face, the girl kissed
him, and all was forgiven.

Matthew Arnold.

Professor Francis Bovine, in the

We have no wish to be disrespect-
full toward Mr. Arnold, who has ac-
quired some just reputation as u poet

a paper at Rome, gives his views Of
European governments at the present
lime:
Mr.. Editor. / have read the article
entitled al Nal Essere Politico" 10
the Copitdle Of the 9th ultimo. You
have treated the question 10 a master
" style. Yes, the present unhealthy
state of politics is the consequence OF
fatal and sinister governments, who
are the real creators of assassination
and regicide. Socialism, Communism,
Nibilism and Republicanism are syn
onymous I; they all signify the discon-
tent of the poor with those who enjoy
power Illegally.
We have o yet reached the cen.
tensry of 's9, and already we discern
on the horizon the p~recursory signs
of the storms which, under the re-
gime of men like Po,iuDac, have filled
Europe with blood. Let the Govern
ments, the priests, and the million
aires reflect.

Early Rising.

For farmers and those who live in
localities where people a retire at
s or 8 o'clock in the evening the old
custom of early rising is still appro-
pirate. But be who is kept up till
10 or ii o'clock, and then rises at 5
OF 6, because of the teachings ofsome
old ditty about "early to rise" is
committing a sin against his soul
There is not n man 10 ten thousand
who can afford to do without seven
or eight hours sleep. All the stuff
that has been written about great
men who sleep only three OF four
hours a night is apocrophial. They
have been put upon such small allow
ances occasionally and prospered,
but no man ever kept healthy in body
aod mind for . number of years with
less than seven hours sleep. If you
can't get to bed till late, then rise
late. 1t may be as proper for NJ
man to rise at 8 az it is for another
to rise at 5. Let the rousing bell be
rung at least thirty minu'es before
your public appearance. Physicians
say that . sudden lump out of bed
gives Irregular motion to the pulse.
1t takes hours to get over a too sud-
den rise. 1t is barbarous to expect
children to land on the centre Of the
floor at the call of their nurses, the
thermometer below zero. Give us
time after you call US. to roll over,
gaze at the world full in the face,
and look before we leap.

Tramps.

Fifty years ago there were no

standing on the corner of Corne and

came here an eccentric Italian painter,
Michael Felice Corne. He bought a
stable on the street now called for
him. fashioned it into q dwelling
house, and there lived and died
Previous to bis coming, and long
after. tomatoes, then called "loye
apples" were thought to be poison

that 10 1919 be brought them from
South Carolina and planted them in
his yard, where they were looked
upon ss curiosities and priced for
their beauty. They became later,
however, q very unpleasant missile
10 the hands of the small boy. A
charming old lady also told me to-
day that in 1924 she Was sitting with

The South.

Representative Coin, (%colored) a

was once a slave, uttered some bu.
initiating but wholesome truths in
Congress last week, in urging q more

ernment.
He presented the startling state
ment from official sources, that IN the
States of South Carolina, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama, q larger
percentage Of whites are unable to
read aud write than there are oil
blacks.
Since ell classes 10 the South, re-
CARELESS Of race or color, are low cit
liens of the United States With equal
rights and privileges, the education
of the two races is equally important
and it was az impressive appeal to
the lawmakers Of the nation when
the d~isenthralled bondman urged the
more generous education of both ra-
ces, and proved thst in four States of
the Union, where the .coiored vote is

A Broughty Ferry lady, writing 70
Der friends from Dublin, gives an &C.
count of a strange occurrence by
which her husband was saved from
being run down in ? ferry-boat. The
gentleman was just aboGt 70 step into
the ferry-bost to cross the river, VIXEN
q large retriever rushed upon him,
caught bold OF his trousers with his

a constant howl.
1t was only after considerable dit

The gentleman naturally felt much

ferry-boat run down by a steamer
which had approached without no.

The passengers were thrown into
the water, but, fortunately the crew
of the steamer were s~uccessfus in sar-

exhausted, however.
While thinking of the singular
means by which he bad been saved
from the accident, the gentleman
could not help noticing the conduct
of the dog, which followed closely o.
bis heels.
He tried every means to get rid of
it during the day, but in the after
noon the animal was still following
