Enduring Terrible Agony for Many Hours
without Complaint

Enduring Terrible Agony for Many Hours
without Complaint.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
month ago Charles Lennon, the son of
well-to-do farmer near Milford, Ohio, was struck
by n train the Little Miami. The engine
struck him, running over both legs near the
knee. 1t was dark, nasty night, aud the rain
was pouring down in torrents Young Lennon,
after the train had so cruelty manned him for
life, managed to drag himself some distance
from the track. Then he took Off his coat and
vest and tore the latter into strips, and, winding
one around his right leg, between the hip and
knee, he hastily improvsed tourniquet by
tying the pieces together, and, inserting piece
of pine board he had managed to find into the
strip, twisted it so tightly as to stop the flow of
blood, and then the left leg was treated in the
same manner the stick used for this being a
dead limb. Thus, while suffering terribly in a
condition under which most men would have re-
signed themselves to death, the brave boy saved
his life. Fearing that his efforts would make
him faint, he struggled desperately to keep from
it, succeeding so well that the feeling of faint
ness passed away entirely. Then he stoically
laid himself up against the side of the house and
awaited the dawning of the day. There through
low lay, enduring torments of agony almost be-
yond description. With the morning came help,
home DIR. Belt was summoned, and he in turn
telegraphed to Cincinnati to DIR. Phythan 1t
was 10 O'Clock when that physician arrived and
the boy had not uttered one word of complaint
although his bleeding lips attested the wonder
full power of endurance that his will was COM
pelling. Then without administering any OPT
ates the doctor cut of both legs and cauterized
the wounds. In the face of this most agonizing
ordeal Lennon did not utter a word of COM
plaint though after the operation he tainted
away: Then another remarkable feature was
manifested in the case-a feature almost beyond
parallel in medical history. Exactly three
weeks from that time Lennon was calmly sit
ting up in bed, almost entirely well, and smok-
ing his pipe. Lennon is twenUy-one years of
age, and previous to his accident lived with his
parents and worked on his fathers farm Many
prominent physicians interested in the case have
called on him, and bear witness to the truth of
this most remarkable occurrence.

MANS ALLOTTED SPAN.
He Does Not Live 1t Because He Works and

Dissipates Too Much.
New York Ledger.
Shakespeare says Men have died and worms
have eaten them, but not for love-" Some one
else says very few men die of age. Death is the
result of disappointment, mental or bodily toll,
or accident. We often see the strong man cut
down suddenly and the invalid living his four
score years and ten. The fact is that the strong
man uses UP his strength and the weak one
nurses the little given him. The passions cer-
tainly shorten life and sometimes suddenly end
it. "Choked' with passion is very often not an
eXaggeration. The lower animals which live
temperate lives have their prescribed term of
years. The horse lives twenty-five years, the OK
fifteen or twenty, the hog ten or twelve, the rab-
bit eight or nine, the guinea-pig six or seven.
The numbers all bear proportion to the time the
animal takes to grow its full size. Man is the
only animal that seldom comes up to the average.
He ought to live one hundred years, according to
the physiological law, for five times twenty are
one hundred, but he scarcely reaches an average
of four times the growing period. To sum it all
up, man is the most hard working and laborous
of animals, also the most irregular and intemper-
ate. He is irritable, and often wears out, and is
consumed by the fire of his own reflections.

EDITH NoRTHCOTE's BALL.
An Affair in London at Which the Grande

An Affair in London at Which the Grande

n. Y. Sun London Gable.
"Were you at Edith Northcote'S ball 2" has
been popular question for the last days of the
week in the West End clubs and the drawing
rooms of Mayfair and Belgravia. Edith North
cote is a lady whose improperly" to quote
Bret Harte, is professional. She is a leading
member of the Cornthian and Gardenia clubs,
which George Moore recently described in the
sun, and yet woman of birth and breeding.
Only in London could such n ball as she gave go
on with the same eclat 1t was q fancy dress
affair, given in the magnificent new bathrooms
of the Savoy Hotel. Staircases corridors, ball
and supper-rooms were profusely decorated
with the rarest flowers of the season. The
supper was perfect, the champagnes of the
choicest vintages, and the costumes as elab-
rate and costly as any ever worn in london.
The names OF the men who participated in this
function are half of them written in "Burke's
Peerage," and compose n list of eligibles that
hundreds of hostesses in the United Kingdom
would barter. their chances OF eternal salvation
to bring together in their drawing rooms. The
ladies were, in the slang of the town, pastry"
as derived from the noun tart, but no social feS-
tyites in the most exclusive houses in London
were ever conducted more decorousy. leading

Balzac, the famous French novelist was great

land / have come to the
conclusion thai all the
patent tonics that were
ever compounded by my
craft are not half as good
as a few simple and natu-
raj remedies which a child
can make and use. 1t is.
Of course, impossible to
prevent badness where
it is hereditary, but it
can, however, be warded
off. The hair, like every
other portion of the hu-
man frame, if uncared for
will goto waste and even
tually drop out. This is
due to a splitting of the
ends of the hair. so that
tn e interior oil duct,
which nourishes the hair,
is exposed and the natu-
raj nourishment of the
hair runs to waste, over
flows upon the head,
forming dandruT, which
impedes the growth of
the hair just us much as
the tares among wheat.
The best means to pre-
vent this is q strengthen
ing OF the hair, and this
can he easily accom-
plished by frequent cut
ting and the use of salt
and water and q little
yaseline. Have you ever
noticed what bushy hair
seafaring men have? l
followed the sea for a
mum Der of years; / don't
remember ever having
seen a bald sailor. 1t is
because their hair is in
constant contact with the
lnVigOratlnE salt air, ana
is often wet with salt
water. A good tonic of
salt water should contain
a teaspoonful OF salt to a
tumbler of water, and
should be appliedto the
hair two or three times q
week, The effect at the
end of a month will be
surprising. If the hair
is thoroughly washed
once a week with CASTLE
soap and the scalp
rubbed with vaseline, the
halr will not only cease
to fall out, and the dan
druff disappear, but will
actually thicken. Hav-

ABOUT MOTHERs-IN-LAw.
The Ways Different Nationalities Treat the
Same Subject.


Same Subject.
Spare Moments.
Perhaps the most singular instance of the way
in which different people regard the same thing
is the manner in which mothers-in-law are treat
cd in various parts of the earth. In France they
are esteemed; in Britain they are the undeserved
theme of much cheap wit and some very material
antpathy. Ameng many Indian tribes it is in
the highest degree p,nrcior for mother-in-aw
to speak to her daueb,. husband If she finds
1t necessary to communicate with him it is eti-
quette that she should turn her back and address
him through the medium of a third person.
Others carry this conventionality so far as to
prevent the father-in-law from holding any con-
versation with his son-in-law, and among the
wild kalmucks a woman would be suffused with
crimson were she asked to speak to her husbands
father or to sit down in his august presence.

ESTABLISHED 1906

McLeans made a big fortune out of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. They have made another fortune
out of Washington property, and the houses and
lots which they own here would, venture to
say, sell for more than million dollars under
the hammer.
Speaking of owners of Washington property,
Mrs. Blaine pays taxes on over hundred thou
sand dollars worth, and the estate of the late
Mrs. Patton, the wife of the California million
aire, is assessed at more than n quarter of
million. George Bancroft has S5l ,090 worth of
Washington real estate, and Benjamin r. Butler
pays taxes on about Sl22,000 worth. Vice Presi-
dent Morton has somewhere near q half million
dollars worth of Washington property, and he
has added to the value of his possessions during
the past year by building an addition to the
Shoreham. The Shoreham Flats cost him about
a quarter of million. He paid more than
100000 for the house which he bought of Tele-
phone Bell, and he put about S25 900 more in i'm

ses will. l doubt not, eat up twice his salary

T. Dewitt Talmage, D. D.
The minimum Christian I! Who Is
he? He is the Christian who is try
ing to go to heayen at as cheap rate
AS possible. He is the mar who aims
at having as little religion as he can;
without lacking it altogether. He
wants to get all the world he can, and
yet escape the worlding'S doom.
The minimum Christian goes tU
church in the morning, and in the
evening also unless it rains, or is too
warm, or too cold, or he is sleepy, or
has the headache from eating too
much dinner. He listens most re.
sppctfuily to the preacher. and joins
in prayer and praise. He applies
the truth very sensihly-tc his neigh
bors. He goes rarely to the prayer
meeting, as it is apt to be uninterest-
ing. He goes occasionally to the
communion, and Is frequently quite
regular in his family prayers for
week or two after.
The minimum Christian is very
friendly to all good works. He wishes
them well, but it is not in his power
to do much for them. The Sunday
School he looks upon as an admirable
institution, especially for the negIecs
ted and ignorant. It is not convene
lent, however, for him to take q
so pressing during the week, that he
needs Sunday as day of rest. Nor
does he think himself qualified to act
as a teacher. He is in favor of tract
distribution. and visiting the poor
but he has no time to take part in
these labOrs of love. He thinks il a
good thing for Iaymen to assist at
prayer-meetings, and in social relig-
ious circles, but he has no gift for
public prayer. or for making ad-
dresses, and he must leave it to-
others. He is very friendly to home
and foreign missions, and gives his
unite" He thinks there are "toV
many appeals" but he gives. if not
enough to save his reputation, pretty
near it-at all events he aims at it.
The minimum Christian is not
clear on a number of points. The
opera and dancing, perhaps the the
atre and card playing, and large fash.
ionable parties, give him some trou-
BILE. He cannot see the harm in
this. or that, or the other popular
amusement. There IS nothing III the
Bible against it. He does not see
but that a man may be a Christian,
and dance or 60 to the opera, He
knows several excellent people who
do. Why should not he follow their
example?
The minimum Christian does not
believe much in sudden conversions,
nor in Jealous, aggressive efforts. His
greatest concern is dignIfied propri.
ETY., and that all things "shouId be
done decently. and in ORDER" wheth.
er souls are saved or not. He has a
fOndness for the aesthetic. and prides
himself on a refined literary taste,
and he has no patience with rousing
appeals to faith and repentance. They
are not elegant. These are they "that
hinder the gospel"
