A NEEDLE ON ITS TRAVELS,
After n Ten Years. Journey in a We.
mans Body 1t is Hauled out by q
Doctor.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
Ten years ago a woman residing in Harlem,
while walking across the floor in her stocking
feet, stepped upon needle. which entered her
right foot between the instep and the Joint of
the large toe. Several doctors tried to extract
the needle, but it seemed to have disappeared.
The foot and leg swelled to a great size and the
woman was confined to her bed for upward OF
three months Then one evening her daughter
rushed up from the grocery store be-
meath, and said that there were burglars i'm the
house. The mother jumped out of bed and the
burglar had just time to get his heels out of the
back window before she had got down the stairs
and was after him. When the doctor called that
day his patient was about. attending to her
work as she had done before she met with tine
mishap. THAT run down the stairs has cured
me, do believe" she said to the DOCTOR and
the latter after that time was a patient less
1t was but Il short time afterward however
that In lacinG her shoe sharp pain was found
at the instep. This lasted for several weeks.
ana then there was a prIckng sensation in the
calf OF the leg. which a few months later was
transferred to tine thigh. At the end of a year
there was no further annoyance, and the needle
was soon forgotten. and did not assert itself
again for nine years. A couple of weeks ago
the woman felt sharp pain at the point OF
what the doctors call the ensform Cartilage,
which is located just at the lower termination
OF the breastbOne- Hospital surgeons said there
was foreign substance there. and when the
needle incident of ten years before was recalled
and related to them they advised an operation
The advice was rejected but on Saturday last the
pain became so bad that a physician in East 18th
street was summoned. Just above and to the
right of the umbilicus he found something that
evidently did not belong there. He made a
half-inch deep incisiOn about an inch in length,
inserted pair OF nippers and drew out-eye
FOREMOST needle more than an inch long. 1t
had worked its way down some three inches
from where the pain was first experienced.
When removed the needle was as smooth and
as sharp as the day it was turned out from the
factory, but was cOlOred dark blue somewhat
notified. The Doctor has carried it in his pOck-
etbOOk since Saturday. but although it has been
carefully wrapped up it has rusted very much
since it was extracted.
number of stories of the travels OF a needle
through the human system have been published
but it is said that probably not more than half a
dozen are authentic. 1t would not necessarily
cause death if the needle passed through veins,
the lungs or even the heart i'm its err attic pere-

A SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.
Lady Accused of Having a YOuus
Man i'm Her Employ as a Confidential
Lady's Maid.

Family Fair Of London refers to scandal in
volying lady of title and high social standing.
According to Vanity Fair, a young person who
has been for some time in the lady's employ as
confidential lady's maid has been discovered
by the police to have been practising a shameless
deception. caDlegram from London saws:
The newspaper does not venture to divulge the
ladys name, but refers all inquirers to the
police. This public reference to scandal which
has lor several days past been whispered about
In the clubs is expected to cause a cOmmotiOn
in Belgravia- The story Is told in much greater
detail by well-knOwn detective. who is en-
ployed exclusively upon what are known as
society cases. According to this authority tho
lady's maid was amodest-appearing and demure
young person. who seemed to give great salts
faction to the lady, but who never mixed with
the other servants, and was regarded by them as
supereilious and disagreeable. Anupper house.
maid OF the lady's household, who especially dis
liked the lady's maid, had for her beau a very
Intelligent member Of the police force and she
told him of her dislike for her fellow-servant.
This led the policeman to take opartlcuIar notice
of the privileged maid and he soon observed
little peculiarities In her manHer and bearing
that lead him to believe that Ahe maid was a
man. He at once jumped to the conclusion that
the young man had gained access to the lady's
nousehoid Tor the purpose OF robbery, and was
biding his time to levant with the Jewel cases
He reported his suspicious to his superors. and
was instructed to follow up the case and obtain
conclusive evidence as to the suspected persons
sex. He soon found abundant proof that his
suspicious were correct and made haste to
inform the lady that the person whom she had
harbored as q confidential maid was in fact
young man. 1t Is said that the jealous police
man never felt 80 cheap and ill-rewprded in his
life as when he saw that his startling intelli-
gence was received with neither horror nor sur
prise, nor even with thanks. The lady's manner
crushed him with the conviction that he told her
no news, and that he had done an exceedingly
impudent thing in presuming to enlighten her
concerning the affairs of her own household. If
the detectives belief is well founded, the motive
Of the lady in connlving at the masquerade is
an inexpiicable mystery to all but herself and
perhaps the ''maid." 1t is said that the young
man will be pensiOned off by the lady's family
never return.

LAVENDER WATER is so refreshing an adjunct
on the toilet table or in the travelling bag that a
recipe in Harper'sn Bazaar for preparing it at
home may be useful Some rose leaves make
pleasant addition for bathing weared eyes but
for simple refreshment all lavender is best.
" Take one part fresh lavender flowers and two
OF alcohol, macerate for five or six days, and
be added If desired in proportion one-third
less than the lavender" The water bath is
a movable cylindrical vessel of tin, fitted
into still, SO that the bottom rests few
inches above the outer Jacket. Handles
are placed on the inner vessel by which it can
be lifted in and out. For the fitting on of a
proper head, with concave place in which to
place some powdered charcoal, it is advisable to
consult q skilled workman. With one of these
simple stills and water BATH fine oils may be ex-
tracted, pomades be prepared, and various kinds
of distiHation carried on. In purchasing laven-
