What the Director Said.

A Boston reporter, while in the office of
the New York and Boston Despatch Ex-
press Company, had conversation with
Mr. Is. +, Larabee one Of the directors OF
the company, who gave the following per-
sonal experience: "A little over a year ago
| was taken sick. did not know what
the trouble was, but continued to grow
worse, and my complaint bailled the skill
of my doctors. At last my symptoms de-
veloped into that terrible complaint,
Bright's Disease, which has been pronounce
ed ncurablc by oil physicians. My suffer
ings at that time ware unspeakablc. was
bloated from head to foot; my heart panied
me; my pulse was irregular, and was un-
able to breathe except in short, convulsive
gasps. While suffering thus learned OF

Thomas Jefferson.

Mr.. Flower, an English gentleman of
education and wealth, who in 1916
made a trip on horseback through Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Virginia, in the
winter of 1S16-l7 became the guest of
Mr.. Jefferson at Monticello, has left the
following description of Mr.. Jefferson :
"Mr, Jeiferson's figure was rather ma
jestic. Tall-.over six feet--thin and
rather high-shouldered; manners sim
pie, kind and courteous. His dress in
form and color was quaint and old
fashioned, plain and neat; dark pep
per-and-salt coat, cut in the old Quaker
fashion, with single row OF large
metal buttons, knee breeches, gray
worsted stockings, shoes fastened by
large metal buckles such was the ap-
pearance of Jefferson when | first made
his acquaintance in 1916. His two
granddaughtcrs tho Misses Randolph
- well-cducated and accomplished
young ladies, were staying with him at
the time. The chief charm Of the visit
was in the evening conversations with
Jefferson, who gave me the inside his
tory of events, before only known to
me, as TO the world generally, in the
published record or outside history,
which is all that the public is generally
allowed TO see"

The Wood Floors Of Russia.

The finest floors are said to be seen
in Russia. For those Of the highest
grade tropical woods are exclusively
employed. Fir and pine are never
used, as in consequence Of their sticky
character they attract and retain dust
and dirt, and thereby soon become
blackened. Pitch pine, too, is liable
to shrink, even after being well sea-
soned. The mosaic wood floors in
Russia are often of extraordinary
beauty. One in the Summer Palace is
Of small squares of ebony inlaid with
mother-of-pearl. A considerable trade
is done in Dantzic and Riga by export
ing small blocks of oak for parquet
floors. There is an active demand for
these in France and Germany, but none

PEGGING AWAY.

There was an old shoemaker, sturdy as steel,
OF great wealth and repute in his day,
Who, if questioned his secret of luck to reveal,
Would chirp like bird on spray
"It isn't so much the vocation youreln IN,
Or your liking for it," he would say,
"As it is that forever, through thick and through
thin,
You should keep up a-peggng away"
have found it a maxim of value, whose truth
Observation has proved in the main;
And which we'll might be vaunted watchworo
by youth
In the labor of hand and brain;
For even if genius and talent are cast
Into work with the strongest display,
You can never be sure of achievement at last
Unless you keep pegging away.
There are showmen who might into statesmen
have grown,
Politicians for andwork made,
Some poets who better in shops had shone,
And mechanics best suited for trade;
But when once in the harness, however 1t MT,
Buckle down to your work night and day,
Secure in the triumph Of hand and OF Wit
If you only keep pegging away
There are times in all tasks when the fiend Dis
content
Advises pause or a change;
And on fields far away and irrelevant Dent,
The purpose is tempted to range;
Never heed, but in sound recreation restore
Such traits as are slow to obey,
And then, more persistent and staunch than before
Keep pegging and pegging away.
Leave ftful endeavor for such as would cast
Their spendthrilt existence in vain,
For the secret Of wealth in the present and past
And Of fame and of honor, is plain.
1t lies not in change, nor in sentiment nice,
Nor in wayward exploit and display,
But Just in the shoemaker's homey advice
To keep pegging and peggng away.

had spoken no word to Miriam Of such
thoughts. Only his eyes followed all hel
movements with wistful yearning; ten
derness, if possible, deeper than before, spoke
in his tone when he addressed her. And still
with all her care and watchfulness, there was
the one thing lacking-the one thing he want
ed, the one thing which above all would have
surrounded his last hours with perfect con
tent and joy.
1t was evening. He had fallen into quiet
sleep, and leaving his bedside, she had sought
an open window, for the night was warm
Leaning on the sill, she looked out on the sky
with its myriad of stars; and her thoughts
were lifted to the world above and beyond
those radiant portals, where sin and suffering
were unknown.

went quickly back to her post and laid hel
hand upon his forehead. 1t was cold and
damp, and by the subdued light of the night
lamp, she saw new look upon his face.
"Miriam, am dying. Take me in your
arms"
She cast her arms about him, and laid her
cheek on the pillow against his own. Her
heart throbbed close to his, and he could feel
its tumultuous beating Of her own accord
she kissed his lips. Once, twice; and deep
convulsive sob surged up from her breast.
Roland, my husband %! God. l can
not let you go!'
"Miriam-" his voice was weak and faint,
but tremulous with the dawniug of new,
unutterable joy. my darling, do you love
me at last?'
II love you-I love you. Only stay with
me, and will make amends for all !"
He smiled-a smile Of perfect peace. 1t
had come at last-the one word he wanted ;
but he had no answer for her almost frantic
appeal. Heneeded no farther amends, though
she would have given her life for little
longer space, few more hours or days of
time in which to fill up what had so long
been lacking in the measure of her T love;
A quiet figure clad in black, visits daily a

FIVE WEEKS I'M A TRANCE.

Physicians in Newark, New Jersey, have
been deeply interested lately in curious case
of hysteria in that city. For Eve weeks Miss
Anna Ward, the 16. year old step.daughter of
Alexander johnson, Of the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company, lay in a trance.
Last Winter she was seriously i'll for weeks
with typhoid fever. When she recovered 1t
was deemed best not to allow her to return to
school until September. Then she found that
she had fallen behind her classmates in her
studies. Feeling that she was strong, as she
had spent the Summer at Long Branch and
Saratoga, she began to apply herself dlEIgent'
" to her studies 10 make up for lost time.
She overtasked her brain, her health failed
after few weeks and she was compelled to
withdraw from school. Her sickness became
serious, and in the latter part Of November
she fell into trance. She lay quietly in her
bed with her eyes sometimes open and some
times shut, but recognizing no one, and never
speaking. No sound escaped her, and it was
evident she suffered no pain. There was
slight twitching of the eyelids, but little other
movement.
Dr.. William O'Gorman, the family physi-
clan, called DR.. A. N. Dougherty and Dr. E.
G.. Seguin, of this city, TO consult with him.
It was quickly determined that the strange
disease was.not catalepsy, for the patients
arms when raised fell back upon the bed In
stead of remaining where placed. 1t was
concluded that she was a victim Of hysteria,
in an aggravated form, resulting frem over
study. The severest electric shocks caused
not even the twitching of muscle. After
several days hsd passed DR.. OGorman, not
knowing how long the trance would last, de-
cided to administer liquid food arti6cially, as
the patient could not swallow.
About New Years day she revived, and
now she is able to ride out, and seems to be
restored to health. While she was in srance
the physicians we're satisfied that she was con-
scions, and proved it two or three times.
Once DR.. seguin said for a test, "She's a very
pretty girl"
Immediately she blushed.
She says she was conscious, but had only
one thought, and that terrible one. She
feared constantly that the physicians would
pronounce her dead, and she would be buried
alive. She had no physical pain, but this
dread was agonizing. In vain did she try to
speak. She could not even move her lips.
It is supposed that the twitching of the eyes
was caused by her efforts to speak or give q
sign Of life.
A physician said yesterday that he had
known of only one other case of hysteria that
was at all like this. Within the last month,
he was called to see lady who became vic
tim within a week after her marriage. The
shock to her nervous system resulted in
trance state, and partial suspension of all
sense of feeling, but after few days she be-
came conscious.
