In a museum is a dog that was
brought from Lapland. He was at first
perceptibly homesick and unhappy. But
one day, straying into the room where.
among other figures, sits a Laplander in
his sledge, the poor dog uttered a yelp
OF delight, bounded to the figures side
and erouched on the floor, contentedly
wagging his tail. No coaxing could call
him away, and he remains by his imag-
ined masters side to this day.

A PRIEST SUFFOCATED.

Father d. F. Hayes and HIS Brother suroca,-
cd in Bed AZ the Result Of IN lmperfectly
Burning Lamp.
Rev. D. +. Hayes, the resident Catholic priest
at Anoka, and his younger brother Jerry, were
smohered to death at the house of family
named Nolan, in the town of Corcoran. Hen
n PIN county, on Wednesday night At 10
O'Clock, the brothers retired, leaving word with
tue lady OF the house not to call them until ia.e
The brothers were assigned to adjoining rooms
OF those of the family. No unusual noiee WIS
heard by The family during the night, nor waa
nything wrong suspected until nearly 3
O'Clock, when smoke was discovered issuing in
considerable volume from the room occupied
by the brothers.
Failing to respond to calls at the door, it was
forced open and DO h men were found dead in
their bcd. They were doubtless suffocatcd by
smoke aud the poisonous gases generated by
the lamp, which was in fragments on the par
tally burned stand. where it had been left II
was apparent that the lamp had exploded. The
room was densely filled with smoke and gas
Farther Hayes was about twenty eight or twen-
ty-nine years old, and was ordained in St. Paul
about four years ago.
Father Hayes has been in the habit of making
his home with the Molans when in Corcoran
attending to the duties Of the mission, and the
family was very much attached to him, and
deeply deplore the sad fate which overlook
him aud his brother in their house. No blame
is attached to the family for the tragic event.

DIR. HAMMOND of New YORK, formerly

of physiology as taught to children, and es-
pecialiy to girls in the schools. He thinks
that the lively imaginations of young girls
will be SO wrought upon the revelations of
physiology Us to the bodily functions, that
nervous diseases are likely to result. The
doctor does not hesitate to declare that: 1T

Ara late meeting of cotton planters AS
sociation, the president devoted almost his
entire address to the argument that the
Southern planters should raise, if not less
cotton, more hay, grain and meat. lie
produced some startling statistics, and
made the no less startling statement that
the cotton factors, those who furnish sup
plies of credit, are becoming the largest
planters, some owning as many rs fifty
plantations, not one Of which was got from
a planter who made cotton his surplus crop,
but all frem men who knew nothing, and
would learn nothing but to make all cotton.
tits worthy Of thought, whether these re-
marks on cotton culture are not applicable,
in some degree, to those who raise nothing
but wheat, and whether this kind of farm
ing is not just as shiftless, and in tho end,
just as Improbable as exclusive cotton cul-
ture

Vennor's Prediction For June.

From Vennor's Almanac for 1881.
June is likely to prove warm, even hot
and dry up to about the 10th or 18th days.
Beyond these dates cool and showery
weather is probable up to the Goth, and
frosts are likely to be experienced pretty
generally both in Canada and the northern
states. A snowfall is not improbable in
mountainous regions. The neighborhood
Of the 22nd and 23d days, look in the dis
lance, particularly cool and frosty, while
the Oath to the 26th dates, on the contrary,
smack of heat in tho many sections of the
country. The neighborhood of the goth is
.lkely to prove stormy in western Ontario
and western United States, the storms be-
ing, IN all probability, accompanied by
thunder and lightning and hail. The month
will end hot in most parts, with threaten
ing weather.
From letter dated Nay "a, 1881.
The "nerth waters" are only coming
down now, which is an indication Of vet
June. Tho warmest part Of June is likely
10 occur between the Goth and 25th, when
the heat may be excessive. June will be
marked by frequent severe wind and thun-
der storms. and frosts are probable be-
tween the 5th and 10th of the month.

Ex-L1EUTENANT GOVERNOR KNIGHT of
Massachusetts has been a party for a year
or two in very disagreeable scandal. The
church to which he belongs took no notice
OF it for long time, but was finally COM
PEELED by public sentiment to look into tn Q
matter. The outcome is in a resolution
that the recent investigation into certain
charges against him was imperative, but
that, in view of the brothers explanation,
his expression Of regret, his desire for for
giveness and promises for the future we
feel that bis satisfactory attitude toward
the church renders further investigation at
the present time unnecessary" The
question now agitating Easthampton where
all these things occurred as we'll as other
parts OF the state is: If brother knight had
not been an ex-lieutenant governor would
he have so easily escaped the consequence
of admitted guilt.

Pen, ink. and paper were spread on the

Susan sprang forward to rescue the pre-

HUMAN PINCUSHIONS.
How Needles and Pins Work in and Out
the Body.

How Needles and Pins Work in and Out
the Body.
From the Londen Lancet
Hildanus related an incident of a weman
who swallowed several pins, and passed
them six years afterward; but more re-
markable instance Of prolonged detention
was recorded by Stephenson, of Detroit
that of lady, aged IS, who last year passed,
after some months symptoms of vesica1 ir-
ntation, a pin which she had swallowed
while picking her teeth with it in 1886
forty-tw years previously. NJ. Silvy re-
cords some years ago, the case of woman
who had penchant for pins and needles so
strong that she made them, in fact, q part
of her daily diet, and after her death 1,40O
or l 500 we're removed flom various parts
of the body.
Another case almost as striking has been
recorded by DR.. Gillette, that OF a girl in
whom, from time to time, needles were
found beneath the skin, which they per-
forated, and were removed by the fingers or
forceps. Concerning the way in which they
got into her system no information could be
extracted from her. She was carefully
watched, and in the course of eighteen
months no less than 800 needles were ex-
tracted, all being Of the same size. The
largest number which escaped in a single
day was 81,
A curious phenomenon preceded the es-
cape of each needle: For some hours the
pain was severe, and there was considerable
fever. She then felt sharp pain, like
lightning. in the tissues, and on looking at
the place ut which this pain had been felt,
the head of the needle was generally found
projecting. The needles invariably came
out head foremost. No bleeding was occa-
stoned, and not the least trace of inf]am-
nation followed. The doctor in attendance
extracted 31S.
That little weight is to be attached to the
place at which the needles escape as proof
of their mode of introduction is evident
from case recorded by Villars of a girl
who swallowed large number of pins and
needles, and two years afterwards, during
the period of nine months, two hundred
passed out of her hand, arm, axilla, side of
thorax, abdomen and thigh, all on the left
side. The pins, curiously, escaped more
readily and with less pain than the needles.
Many years ago case was recorded by
Dr.. Otto, of Copenhagen, in which four
hundred and ninety Ave needles passed
through the side Of a hysterical girl, who
had probably swallowed them curing a
hysterical paroxysm; but all these emerged
in the region below the level of the dia-
phram, axd were collected in groups, which
gave rise to MISUNDERSTANDING Of some
size. One of these contained one hundred
needles.
Quite recently DR.. Bigger described before
the society Of surgery Of Dublin case in
which more than three hundred needles
were removed from the body of woman
who died in consequence of their presence.
It is very remarkable in how few cases the
needles were the cause of death, and how
slight an Interference with function their
presence and movement cause.
