A Wonderful Case.

- s
IA genuine editorial from Bsilefontans Republican,
One of the most remarkable cases in
aural sergery, within our memory, has
lust come under our notice. The patient
is well known citizen of.our county,
who has resided in this sneighborhood
for upward Of fifty years-whenB Bellefon-
taine was not yet q dream, Cincinnati
scarcely village, and Ohio but west
ern wild. i-i ''i' .re''
The case referred was that of John
Snoddy, who has lived here since 1909.
and one of our most substantial and
well known farmers residing about if
teen miles distant. Twenty-Five years
ago large insect entered his left ear,
and, though every effort was made to do
so, it could not be edislodged. As mat
ter of course deafness was the result.
Repeated efforts were made from time
to time, to extract the fellow all to no
purpose. On Tuesday: afternoon last,
Mr.. Snoddy placed his case In the hands
of the distinguished DR.. Foster, (now
on brief professional visit here), who,
after a painless operation, lasting
scarcely an hour, succeeded in using
his instruments with the most brilliant
results-bringing from the aural cava-
ties a complete full grown insect,
known scientifically rs Plstaphyllum
concayum ofthe genus CRY yIlus-a jump
ing orthopterous insect. 1t has four
joints to each foot and transparent wing
covers that drop down on each side, un-
der which the wings are folded in plaits
Ike fan. The eyes are large, round
and black as jet-larger than an ordin-
ary pin head. 1t is a very large speci-
men-measuring about two inches In
length and otherwise large in porpor-
ton.
This strangely erratic insect, which
had slnmbered for quarter Of century In
the of head Mr.. Snoddy, was in complete
preservation when taken from its liv.
ing human sepulchre.
The case has created no little excite.
ment and the obnoxious insect has beer

maguifing glasses by some Of the mos
distinguished and well-known citizens
of this vicinity, among whom we may

The King and the Miller.

Near Sans Souci, the favorite residence of
Frederick the Great, there was mill which
much interfered with the view from the
palace. One day the king sent to inquire
what the owner would take for the mill, and
the unexpected reply came that the miller
would not sell it for any money. The king,
much incensed, gave orders that the mill
should be pulled down. The miller made
no resistance, but folding his arms, quietly
remarked: "The king may do this, but
there are laws in Prussia" And he took
legal proceedings, the result of which was
that the king had to rebuild the mill and to
pay good SUN of money besides in compen-
sation. Although his majesty was much
chagrined at this end of the matter, he put
the best face he could upon it, and turning
to his courtiers he remarked " | am glad to
see that there are Just laws aud upright
judges in my kingdom" A sequel to this
incident occurred about forty years ago. A
descendant of the miller of whom we have
Just been talking had come into possession
of the mill. After having struggled for sew,
eral years against ever-increasing poverty,
and being at length quite unable to keep on
his business, he wrote to the present em.
peror of Germany (then only king of Prus-
sia) reminding him of the incident we have
just related, and stating that if his ma asty
felt so disposed, he should be very thankful,
in his present difficulty, to sell the mill. The
king wrote the following reply with his own
hand; "My Dear Neighbor Il cannot al
low you to sell the mill 1t must always be
in your possession as long as one member of
your family exists, for it belongs to the his
tory of Prussia. regret, however, to hear
you are in such straitened circumstances,
and therefore send you herewith S6000 in
the hope that it may be of some service in
restoring your fortunes. Consider me al
ways your affectionate neighbor.
FREDERICK WILLIAM"

the pastor was useful and beloved, but the
flock was poor. "Well," replied the miller,
al have plan by which can raise his
salary, without asking one of you for one
dollar, If you will allow me to take my own
way to do it. | will assume the RESPONSE
bility for one year. Have your consent 2"
OF course, they could not refuse this al.
though they expressed surprise, knowing the
miller to be poor man. The year drew TO
a close. The minister had been blessed in
his labors, and no one had been called on
for money. When they came together, the
miller asked the pastor if his wants had
been supplied and his salary promptly met
He replied in the affirmative. When the
brethren were asked if they were any poorer
than at the beginning of the year each one
replied "No," and asked how they could be,
when they had paid nothing. He asked
again, "Is any man here poorer for keeping
the minister ?" and the reply was the same
as before. "Then," he said, brethren, |
have only to tell you that you have paid the
salary the same as you always did, only more
of it and with greater promptness. You re-
member you told me to take my own way in
the matter, and have done so. As each of
you brought his grist to the mill took out
as much grain as | thought your proportion,
and laid it away for the salary. When the
harvest was over / sold it, and have paid
the minister regularly from the proceeds.
You confess you are no poorer, so you have
never missed it, and therefore made no sac

Encouragement from Maine.

This paper certainly circulates widely, and
if the other editors get written to by their
readers as often as the agricultural editor
does, they find it out. This department
certainly stirs the people up, and we get both
critical and friendly letters in abundance, far
more than we can reply to personally, or no.
tice editorially, Our radicalism on some So
cial and financial questions brings us plenty
of correspondents, and if the kind words OF
some set us up, the severity of Others keeps
us from the sin of vanity in great excess.
But we like best the correspondence relat-
ing to our own personal speciality of fruit
growing, which is all instructive and mostly
friendly. One Just at hand from G. G. At
kins, Esq, one of the fish commissioners of
Maine, we believe, and an enthusiastic fruit
grower, thus administers what is now called
"tatfy to us " You are the most extraord-
nary discoverer. To think that all the frosty
north should have waited for you to find
them some apples to grow; aud to cap the
climax that you should discover a firstrate
pear growing wild in your inhospitable
region. (Not so inhospitable, Mr., At
kins; come and see) ! know not which

The School Prayer-Meeting.

There is great power in twenty-minute
meeting for prayer. Immediately after the
close of the Sunday-school Many of the
teachers have burdens on their hearts. The
lesson seemed to be failure in their hands
They could not get the attention of their
scholars. They could not make the impress
sion they desired to make. And they want
to creep to Gods feet with the bitter disap-
pointment of their hearts to get comfort for
themselves and to plead that he will do
something even with their failure. Or per-
haps there was tenderness in the class, a
tear in the eye of one Of the scholars, an
unwonted interest and attention, and the
teacher desires to come close to the Master
to plead that he will deepen the serious i'm
pressions and watch over their growth.
Whatever she experiences of the hour, every
devout teacher will be grateful for few
minutes with God before he goes away.
He wants to bring his work, whatever it is,
and lay it down. He wants to renew his
own conservation, feed his own heart and
commune with his Lord and with his fellow
workers. Even if only FIVE or ten minutes
can be devoted to such meeting, there can.
not fail to be great blessing in it. An op-
portunity is thus also afforded to scholars
who may have been impressed by the lesson,
or who may be seeking Christ to linger fol
prayer and for special instruction, if they
desire. 1t thus becomes drawing of the
net, corresponding with the special meetings
which some pastors hold after their preach
ing-services We heartily commend to every
school such little season for prayer at the
close of the hours teaching. Westminster
