Four years ago this summer, Nina,

it contained small angle worm, but
the child's parents thought not, and
paid no attention to the matter and
soon forgot il.
Nearly year later the child began
to complain Of its stomach feelingly
badly, and said that something was
alive and wiggling about therein She
grew worse and became so nervous
that it was impossible for her to keep
quiet more than moment at time
The little girl, now six years Of age.
! was taken with violent fit Of vomit-
ing Wednesday, aud il her struggles
threw forth the little angle eworn
which had reposed in her stomach
| for four years. The Worm lad grown

yearly ten inches long and being as
large around as ones finger, The

Another Version.

The New Castle correspondent OF
the Pittsburg Dispatch, sent the fol-
lowing version OF the Centreville
affair to that paper: A young drug
gist named Marion Hay, of Princeton
this county, was arrested by newly
appointed constable, Abe Sechler, up
OF the charge of selling whisky with
out license. While dining at Centre
vile, on their way to jail, Hay has
tily seized horse standing at the
door of the botel and made dash
for liberty. The morse had just sulli
cient "git" in him to make the race
between the fugitive and the consta-
BILE exciting 1t was nip and tuck
until Hays turned suddenly and threw
his horse. The constable Immediate
" took advantage Of this and drew
his revolver, aud demanded his pri3-
oner to halt, which he was about to
do when Centreville constable saw
the fleeing man and his pursuer with
a drawn weapon. lie Immediately
grabbed Constable Sechler, and both
officers fought to establish their au-
thority. Tho Ceutreville protector
refused to listen to anything, and
compelled Sechlor to go with him to
the magistrates Office, and, as con-
sequence, Hays is at liberty, and the
Centreyile official is bound over to
answer in court the charge OF inter
fering with an officer.

COnStableS Must be Paid.

Judge Albert, at Allentown, Le-
high county, has passed upon ques-
ton on which there has heretofore
been no decision. The high license
law Of 1887 compels constables to
visit all hotels and saloons in their
respective districts and report any
violation of the law. From the faci
that no compensation was allowed
for this work the constables OF Lehigh
some time ago decided to make a test
in the case OF Rheuben Semmel, con.
stable North White Hall township,
against the county of Lehigh to re.
cover mileage and fees The case
up for argument, the constable being
represenJ ed by NJ G. l. Cline and
the county by James l.. Schadt. The
court decided that for the service i'm
posed under the act the cOnstables are
entitled TO twenty cents for each visit
TO a restaurant or hotel aud mileage
the same as Is allowed for serving
summOns.-Meadvillc Tribune.

Bee Sting Extraordinary.

Mr.. George Carson, or Gilmore,
while pumping the wells on his lease
in the Foster brook district, last Sun
day week, was stung by bee just
below his right eye. Shortly after
wards sensation of faintness and
dizziness came over him, and belieY-
ing he was about to be sick, he hast
ened 70 shut down bis wells. In a
few moments he lost all conscious
ness, and two hours later, when he
again regained his senses, he found
himself bruised and bleeding crawl
ing around his boiler house on all
fours. His clothes were torn TO tat
tiers, and everything about the boiler
house was in state of confusion He
has no knowledge OF what had occur
red during the interval but the indi-
cations showed that the sting had
produced kind OF frenzy in him that
rendered him temporarily out Of his
head. No DWELLING resulted from the
sting uutil Monday morning, when
his face began to puff out and bis
lips rapidly Increased in size. Mr..
Carson is strong and healthy man
and lie believes that if the bee had
lighted upon man Of less vigorous
constitution the result would have
proved fatal.-UeT rIck,.

school Children's Food.

4 teacher ia one Of our upto
schools advised her pupils, the other
morning, not 10 hurry over their
breakfast because, said she, "a good
nourishing breakfast, eaten cheerful,
ly, and nHf to fast, is the best prepdr-
alton d student can have for a sue.
cesatui mornings work in school y
She said, also, shat when one of her
good scholars made a bad failure in
her lessons, she always felt inclined
to ask: What did you have for
breakfast my dear, and how was
yo1r appelte?" There is no doubt
much truth in this lady's remark. Ii
was discovered years ago that poor
children in the ragged schools got no
mental benefit from the instruction
given them unless they were first fed
with something substantial.
IN many homes both in city and
country, there is apt to be a wild hur-
ry-skurry TO get the children off to
school, ," in.thc course OF which the
breakfast receives bat slight and hasty
attention. Then, about ii o'clock,
when a recess is given, the young
scholars, faint from hunger and OK
haustion, are ready TO Goyour any in
digestible thing which they can find.
Parents who wish their children tc
do well at school should second the
efforts of teachers by seeing that
their children have proper food. The
best instruction in the world may be
neutralized by innutritions and hur-
rod meals.-N. j. LtdyeT.

The Banana as Food.

According 10 one authority, one
pound of bananas contains more nu-
ttimcnt than three pounds of meal or
"a many pounds of potatoes, while as
food it is in every sense superior to
the wheaton bread. Although it
grows spontaneously throughout the
tropics, when cultivated its yield is
prodigious, for an acre Of ground
planted with bananas will return as
much food material as 33 acres oi
heat uf over 100 acres Of potatoes.
Ii is not generally understood that
hananns-fried, baked or roasted
are very appelizing, and that sliced
and placed in dish with alternate
slices OF orange they make most de-
iiciuus dessert.
