Recovered Her Needle.

Nineteen years ago last month q
woman residing here accidentally
pushed needle into her breast She
had been sewing on fine muslin, and
she pushed the point of the needle
through the lapel of her basque while
she inquired into the cause OF a quar-
rel between two children who were
playing near by. In a paroxysm of
tears the younger child threw herself
into the arms of the lady. and as she
did the needle was pushed SO far out Of
sight that only the eye was visible. A
quick movement to rescue it resulted
in an entire disappearance of the fine
bit of steel. No Inconvenience was ex-
perienced and the incident was entire
~ forgotten. A few evenings ago the
woman who hal carried the needle

ened out of q sound sleep by a peculiar
pricking sensation in the throat. Rais-

hold of an object and drew it out Il

SAD SITUATIONS.

The Last Lessons OF Loving Mothers
Life-Preparing for Insanity.
l remember being taken by my
mother when l was child to see a
poor woman who was dying of a cancer.
The disease was eating its way to a
vital part and her doctor had given
her month as her utmost limit of
life. She was preparing for her end
in a way that seemed practical and
prosaic enough, but that struck me as
pathetic in its self-forgetfulness. She
was sitting up in bed, with a basket
beside her, finishing up the family
mending. showing her eldest daughter
ON whose thirteen-year-olds shoulders
the burden of household care was
soon to fall-how to fell down seams
in the little brothers knee patches
and how to darn the heel of fathers
sock, so that he would never feel the
difference. She had impressed upon
the girl how to make her fathers
favorite potato pone, how to manage
her young sister when she got into the
sulks, what to do for her father when
he had his periodical fit of cramps
and every thing else she could think
of that would insure comfort in the
humble home she was leaving. She
had all the work planned which she
would do during the short span of life
that was given to her. Her burial
clothes were folded away in drawer
with sweet basil leaves among them.
l was reminded of the incident by
reading in paper recently of man
in Milwaukee who is preparing for
something that is even more terrible
than death-insanity. He will be VIC.
lently insane in a few weeks. and he
knows it. Some time ago his skull
was fractured; a gristle is fast forming
about the cracked edges. which will
surely press upon the brain and make
him a maniac. He talks calmly and
nationally of his approaching fate. and
spends every moment of his brief term
of sanity in making provision for his
family when be shall no longer be
able to care for them. It is a situation
worthy the pen of novelist like
Daudet.-N. Y. Fashion Bazaar.

The Cure Of Shyness.

A shy disposition is misfortune to
its possessor. 1t causes him to shrink
from meeting others. and when he can
not help meeting them it makes him
stiff in manner and awkward in speech.
Archbishop Whateley was very shy in
his early lif. His friends counseled
him to initiate the example of polite
men. He tried, but the effort made
him think so much Of himself that he
became more shy than ever After q
time he said to himself: II am. and
perhaps must continue to be, as
awkward as bear. Well, / will try
and not think much about 1t, and make
up my mind to endure what can't b
cured" Actingon this resolve he says:
II not only got did Of the personal
suffering Of shyness, but also Of those
faults Of manner which shyness pro-
duces. and acquired IN easy and natu-
raj manner" In saying this the Arch
bishop told the secret b. which Ill shy

is well shown by the gift of $l8.4O
which they raised for him on his sill
YER jubilee. The idea originated
with some of the assistant priests. and
Father Brophy was informally chosen
to receive the money. Every dollar
of it came from the pockets of the
priests, and it means a good deal when
it is remembered that the salary of a
Catholic rector in this city is only
$500, and that Of an assistant priest
5000. The entire sum was raised, too,
in less than q month.

SOWING GRASS SEED.

The Best Time to DO 1t Il When the
Ground Is Thawlns Out.
Taking one year with another, grass
seed that is sown early will generally
make the best growth and yield; and
for this reason care should be taken
to have the seed on hand SO as to sow
in good sseason. A very good plan
is to wait until after the middle of
February. and, when there is light
fall of snow, SOW the seed broadcast.
One of the principal advantages of
sowing grass seed on the snow is that
it is somewhat easier to SOW properly.
for where the seed is sown it will show
plainly, and there is less danger OF
skipping places or of sowing over
parts of the field second time. There
is no economy in stinting the seed. II
the best yield of grass is to be made it
is necessary to get good. even stand,
and plenty Of seed is essential to this
end
Clover can be sown alone, with OATS
or with grass. As q rule. if grass
seed is to be mingled with clover,
orchard grass should be used, for the
reason that orchard grass and clover
ripen at about the same time, while
nearly all other varieties of grasses
ripen somewhat later. And then the
best quality Of hay can not be OBJ
tanned 80 readily.
Another good plan is to SOW when
the ground is frozen, but is thaw,ne
out The seed will sink deep enough
in the soil to terminate. Some pre-

Couldn't Spite His Owner.
There were half dozen of us on the

In two or three minutes We saw

animal never even looked up. He
stood there in the sunshine as If
