Heather Gods in Her Ears.

A physician of my acquaintance was
called in recently to see an old lady who
resides in her own house in the Third
ward 1t was his first call, and he had
never seen the lady before. She lay on a
couch, neatly attired, with her gray hair
in cluster of small curls at each side of
her head
Doctor, she said, Il have sent to con-
suit you on a very serious matter. have
for long time suffered from pains in the
head, and have consulted many physi-
clans without receiving any benefit. Yes
terday accidentally swallowed fish
bone, and while coughing it up felt a
singular sensation in my left ear. put
up my hand and drew this from my ear. "
She extended toward the doctor n small
Ieaden statue of Napoleon, such as used
to be sold on the streets years ago in a
little glass bottle.
You drew this from your carr" asked
The doctor.
"Yes, doctor, did," was the reply,
land have been much easier since. ="
The doctor examined her ear and
found it perfectly natural He didn't
know what to say, but he thought a good
deal.
II want you to do something for me. !"
she continued, "for am satisfied there
is another heather god like this in the
other ear: for it is a heather god. have
no doubt.
How do yousuppose it got there?" the
doctor asked
y think Ezekiel or one of the minor
prophets must have put two of these
heathen gods in my ears when l was a
child. Now, doctor, l want you to pre-
scribe something to bring out the heather
god from the right ear"
Swallow another fishbone." said the
doctor, as he left the room in high
dudgeon. Brooklyn Citizen

a strange natural phenomenon Is the
pampero. South American storm wind,
which is described by the author of
Hearts of Oak. who first made its ac-
quaintance during stay at Montevideo.
A light breeze had been blowing from
the northeast, but had steadily increased
in force and brought with it the heated
air of the tropics which. passing over a
treeiess pampa country, exposed to the
burning sun rays of clear sky, so
warns up the atmosphere on the shores
of the Rio de la Plata that its effect upon
human beings Is exceedingly bad
This state of things generally lasts for
a week. or longer until the sitting heat
becomes unbearahle and the inhabitants
are seen resting in grass hammocks or
lying on bare floors. incapable of exer-
tion. However. relief is close at hand.
A little cloud no bigger than a mans
hand ia first seen to rise above the
water. then the heavens grow black with
clouds. and the battle of opposing winds
begins
The pampero advances with its artil-
lery well in front; forked flashes of vivid
lightning, followed by peals of thunder,
bear down upon the foe, who, quite up
to the moment of attack. is fiercely dis
charging its fiery breath on the surround
ing regions The inhabitants now climb
on the azoteas. or flat roofs, to watch the
struggle and to be the first to participate
in the delicious relief brought by the
pampero to their fevered bodies
Far out on the river a curious sight
may be seen; the opposing waves. raised
by the rival winds, meet like rush of
cavalry in wild career; their white horses
with foaming crests dash themselves
against each other and send clouds of
dazzling spray high in the air; this being
backed by an inly sky renders the scene
most imposing
Gradually the northeaster gives way.
followed closely by its enemy. the pam
pcro. which throws out skirmishing cur
rents of ice cold wind in advance of its
final onslaught Then comes the roar of
the elements, and a deluge such as no
one would willingly encounter, and
cooler weather is established for the time
being.

Fsrtitude Born of Love.

1t was in the year 1880, in third rate
city called Neufchateau, in the depart.
ment des Vosges, France, about noon,
that we were passing, my father and
myself, in front of store where in adj
dition to hardware supply of ammuni-
tion was kept for the use of a regiment
there. Suddenly we heard terrible ex-
plosion, and being either thrown or hav-
ing unconsciously ran, l know not
which, we at any rate found ourselves
about twenty yards from where the ex-
plosion occurred, and could see part of
the roof in the street.
We had hardly reached the building
when man came out of it covered with
powder, his hair and beard burning, and
large pieces of flesh hanging from his
face and bare arms. Never will l forget
the horror of the sight, his flesh was
charred and his clothes partly burned
AS he reached the sidewalk he looked
around and called name / did not
catch. Receiving no answer he went
right back into that burning furnace,
and in a few seconds came out bearing
in his arms his child, a girl of Q or I.
Those nearer to him heard him say:
"My darling, are you hurt? Oh, you
are hurtl' While the poor little thing
kept saying; "No, papa, l am not hurt,
not at all; you are burning, think of
yourself" and yet the blood was trickling
from her forehead where the flying
debris made deep cash. Both re-
covered, though disfgured for life At
the time thought there was not only

A scholar named Musse ch9nced one

about to cut up mass OF manuscript, he
begged leave to examine it. To his sur

sent to the asylum. He was there
once before but was discharged as
cured. A number of the witnesses in
the case ascribed his actions both in
previous instances and in the shooting
of Vollstadt to pure cussedness, but
there seems to be little doubt that the
mans brain is affected.
After the verdict had been declared
the question of the costs came up and
was argued by County Attorney Bit
ting and c. s. Crawford. Mr.. Biting
severely criticised tie Brechbill family
for allowing the man to be at large
when they knew his mental condition.
The fact that he has mereilessly abused
his children and wife proved him to be
better fit for madhouse than for a
civilized community. The court also
censured them strongly. The costs OF
the trial, etc., were finally assessed
against the estate.
