Drea dful Awakening.

MADAM" said the eminent surgeon,
Il am happy to say we have discovered
at last the cause of your husbands
condition. A small portion of the skull
was fractured by the injury that de-
prived him of consciousness year or
more ago, and splinter has been
pressing upon the brain. l have To-
utes, with the help of my assistant, the
splinter will be removed. You must
not be surprised. madam" he continued,
''at any thing he may say when he re-
turns to consciousness. 1t has been
many long month since the injury
happened to him, but you will remem-
Der that to him there has been no lapse of
time whatever. If he was interrupted in
the course of any remark he was maxi
ing at the time of the accident he will
finish that remark as soon as the press
ure is removed from his brain"
The surgeon resumed his place at the
bedside of the unconscious patient and
the operation proceeded. 1t was COM
plete success. The moment the splin-
ter was removed from the mans brain
natural look came into his eyes, and his
anxious friends in the room adjoining
heard him say in slow, hesitating
monotone:
hen and half lay an egg and
half in day and half how many eggs
will six hens lay in seven days?"-Chi-

A Twenty-Two-Pound Flower.

The "bo-o," the largest flower known
to botanists, is found only on the Island
of Mindina, the most southern of the
Philippine group. Its scientific name
is somewhat longer than the native
name, the botanist recognizing it as a
species Of the rafflesia 1t has been
given the name of Rafflesia Schaden-
bergia, the first half of the name being
in honor of Sir Stamford Raffles, the
British Governor of the islands, and the
last half in honor of the discoverer, DR..
Alexander Schadenberg. The flower
was discovered in January. 1889, by the
exploring expedition headed by the
doctor above mentioned, and who says
that he could hardly believe his eyes

COldwater Visited by q Most Des structive
storm-Much Damage Done.
CoLDwATER, Mich, Aug 3O.-Thurs-
day night, between IL and IL o'clock,
this city was visited by the most
destructive cyclone ever known
here. Two funnel-shaped clouds were
seen approaching, one from the
northwest and the other from the south
west, accompanied by much lightning,
rain, and hail. A wooden building
three stories high, belonging to the
Coldwater Road Cart Company, and used
for finishing road-carts, buggies, and
wagons, was completely demol-
ished. The watchman had just left the
timated loss on the building and ma
terials is $40, 900. A large windmill be-
longing to the Lake Shore railroad west
of the depot was carried over the pump
house and thrown across the tele.
graph wires, leveling them. The tin
roof of the two-story brick wheel-bar-
row factory was rolled into a mass and
carried ten rods or more. while the roof
boards and rafters were scattered for
80 or 100 rods from the build
ing. In an orchard, east of the city,
trees were taken out by the roots. Hail
stones as large as hens eggs we're
picked up after the storm abated. Hun
dreds of sparrows were killed by the
hail. The track of the storm was 100
rods wide, leveling all the fences and
trees in its path. 1t seemed to follow
the storm of several weeks ago.

IN THE TWIN CITIES.

Married Teachers Coldly Received in st.
Paul-Minneapolis Not so Particular.
The school board of South St. Paul
has passed resolution declaring that
married women will not be employed in
the schools of that place. III s action
does not affect the schools of st. Paul
proper, which is separate corporation
The matter of excluding married wom-
en- from the public schools of that city
has several times been discussed by the
board of education in committee, but no
action has been taken. Several married
women are now members of the corps of
teachers and another was added at the
last meeting of the board though it is
stated that m arried female applicants for
positions are received rather coldly by
the board and are seldom appointed.
In the Minneapolis schools many mar
ried women are teachers and no action
has been taken to exclude them.

The Census bureau Issues a Bulletin Civ
ing Some Interesting Figures.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 30.-The Census
Bureau has issued bulletin on the
financial condition of counties. The
work has been done under the direction
of Mr.. T. Campbell Copeland. The in
quiries have been made since June, 1889.
The gross county debt in 1880 was
1925, ,621, 455; in 1890, $145, 1913, $40. There
were in 1890, 9, 72S counties, an increase
in ten years of 292. The resources of
the counties in 1890 amounted to $780,,
46S,955. The Western States. including
Ohio, had total county debt in 1880 of
$50, 3S9, 457; in 1890, S77, ,676 9l9, with an
increase of 1913 counties. Five of the
States-Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri,
Nevada and Caiifornia-show de-
crease, Illinois leading with $2.635. 755.
Kansas shows an increase of So, S61, ,s59
The county resources of the Western
States amount to S2O.194,625. Indiana
is first in the list with s.. e43, 932, while
Illinois is credited with 81. 1876, O09.
Throughout Indiana, more particular
ly in the northern counties, the gross
debt is very considerable. Illinois has
a large group of counties in the north
crn section, and another group, consist:
ing of Woodford, Mclean, Livingston,
Iroquois, Vermillion and Edgar coun-
ties, without debt of any kind.

Mr. JOHNSON WHITAKER. of Oregon
Beni, KY, was driving nome the other
night when a meteor flashed across the
heavens and the next instant a huge
stone, measuring about eight feet in
diameter, came through the air, and,
with terrific force, crushed into the bed
of the wagon directly behind him, graz
ing the seat he occupied as it fell. Mr..
Whitaker said he heard the meteor
whizzing through the air, but had no
idea what it was until he was iolted
out of his seat by the crash. A
number of sight-seers visited the
spot and inspected the wonderful
rOck
