Lost His Leg without Knowing 1t.

A terrible railroad accident took place at
Evendale, small station on the Little
Miami railroad about one mile this side of
Reading, o, The Chicago express struck
a buggy containing two men. One was
killed and the other crippled for life, and
can hardly recover. They were Louis
Xinkhorn and Thomas Goodpasteur, both
about twenty years old. The injured men
We're put on the train and brought to this
city. When it arrived Patrols l and 2
were in waiting, and the injured men were
removed to the Good Samaritan hospital.
''lSctor, whatever you do don't take of
my leg" said Goodpasteur to DIR. Buell. ut
Good Samaritan hospital yesterday after
noon. ut feels kind O. cramped about
the foot. like it was in a box. Guess the
sheets got around it,"
But the leg that felt kind o. cramped"
was lying in Mulvihill's undertaking es-
Establishments, several blocks away, await
ing burial. Still the owner was unaware
that he had lost the limb, and his brain
could receive impressions from the de-
tached member. 1t was another illustra-
tion of well known but unaccountable
fact, especially familiar to surgeons in the
army. All the afternoon and during the
night Goodpasteur continued to complain
Of that "cramped leg" which had been
packed for burial. Under the instructions
of the doctors, the nurses would not tell
him that the amputation had taken place,

Members of Parliament Who Write.

The practice of combining the functions
a journalist and legislator has largely in
creased during he lust few years. At one
time the Nationalist members had a
monopoly of the London letters written
from the floor of the house, but now all
this is changed. Mr.. Courtney was until a
few years ago leader writer for The
Times, and Mr.. Justin Mccarthy still con
tributes to the editorial columns of The
Daily News. while Mr.. Macean, Mr.. Leng
and DR.. Cameron direct the policy OF their
respective papers-The Western Mail, the
Dundee Advertiser and The North British
Daily Mail-from the library of ST. Steph-
ems.
Mr. T. P. O'Connor continues his letter
for New York paper, and, in addition,
turns out good deal of copy" every week
for The Sunday Sun; Mr.. r. w. Russell is
a regular contributor to The Manchester
Examiner; Mr.. Sexton and Mr.. Healy give
frequent literary assistance to The National
Press; and so OH. Mr. Broadhurst conveys
any items of intelligence that come in his
way to the London correspondent of a
Scotch paper, and l can trace the style of IA
tolerably well known member of parlia-
ment in the illusions of 1.-THE Mem Der for
Wrottenborough" in The Sunday Times.
Among others who write for the press
are Mr.. Chilly, Mr.. Flynn, Mr.. Gill and Mr.
j. H. Mccarthy. When Mr.. f. r. Russell
was in the house he wrote a political sketch
every night for the Liverpool Post, and a
Liberal, bearing an honored name, is said
to continue the practice he fell into when a

How to Manage q Husband.

The amount of advice given to women as
to the better methods of retaining their
husbands love Is wearisome in the ex-
treme. The fact that much of this is writ
ten by those splnsters who have lovely
theories rather than experience as u guide
may have made much of this quite imprac-
tical. However, l heard chat between
two clever little women the other day upon
which have been bordering ever since:
Yes" said Mrs. A., II am awfully fond
of my husband, and be is splendid fellow,
but do you know he has somehow acquired
the habit of embellishing his little stories
which he tells me in the most elaborate
fashion, Why. at first | felt dreadfully
over 1t and wept, not oceans, but little lakes
of tears and fancied myself one of the most
deeply injured of women. Did | chide him
or reproach him, or did tell him that l
should never more have faith in hims
Not |.
81 just sat down and gave my best
thought to the matter and decided that if
l did that it would be simply ruinous to all
our happiness that his pride would be
gone and he so deeply Inundated as to no
longer strive for my love OF admiration.
OF course am not quite an idiot, and
man or woman must needs have phenom-
email memory to be an artistic liar. Now
this, fortunately for me, perhaps, my hus-
band does not possess, SO when he comes
home late with most interesting account
of the supper which he gave to one of the
boys who sails for Europe next week
take 1t that he didn't want to come home
and spared my feelings by this excuse.
when he has forgotten this and the
supper is really given and he again stays
away, | have so far gained control of my
self that l fail to remind him that it is the
second compliment paid to the departing
friend, and though it isn't little bit easy,
you may be sure that find it most salts
factory condition of things So have laid
it down as one of the cardinal rules of do
nestio bliss, first, that woman must al
ways believe implicitly in what her hus-
band tells her; second, that if she cannot
believe it she must so school herself as to
assume that faith, and thus shall she Sc.
cure her own comfort and that of her hus-
band by the subtle dsttery thus implied"

The Care of an Oil Stove.

The preventive for bad smell in an oil
stove is to use good oil and to keep the
stove absolutely and perfectly clean Every
day the fues over the burners must he
thoroughly cleansed. Several thicknesses
of old soft cotton cloth tied around II stick
answer for this purpose better than any
brush. The Gil reservoir must on no ac-
count be filled to the brim, or the oil oozes
out and causes n smell. Once IA week it is
well TO wash every getatable part with hot
water and soda. This thoroughly takes
OFF any oily SCOT which may have accumu-
lated and which IS the chief cause of smell

Famous for an Hour.

1t is not often that a nOnentity is mis-
taken for a nOtabilty for several days. Yet
that is what happened quite recently at
small watering place in upper Austria.
All OF sudden the town WAS coDvused
with the delightful intelligence that Iii
rardi the famous Nicnnese comedian, was
in its midst. a charity concert waa in
process of organization, and forthwith a
deputation waited on the great man to so
licit his assistance. 1t was graciously &C.
corded and the deputies withdrew IN Iigh
feather, one Of them remHrlling how
strange it was that an actor should have SO
fine a beard.
"Why, don't you know" replied an ON
niscient colleague, that actors always let
their boards grow in the hohdaysW On
the eventful night the concert room was
packed to suffocaton, and vigorous round
of applause greeted the appearance of the
famous actor Instead of the excrutiatiug-
ly funny song expected by the public,
Herr Girardi began sentimental dirty in
Il very hoarse tone of voice This rat her
astonished the audience at first, but they
rapidly came to the conclusion that it
must be a first rate imitation Of some
opera singer. The object of the mimicry
they did not know, but they roared with
laughter all the same.
Grardi was encored and sang romantic
Italian aria, and once more the audience
were convulsod at the subtlety Of the imi-
tation. Next morning it happened that
the official visitors list was published,
from perusal of which it appeared that,
barring certain Samuel Gradi described

The Skill of Women in the U. s. Treasury

The most sAillful persons to identify the
notes and bonds which were defaced and
charred in the great Chicago fire were
women. There WAS one mass of charred
paper from the Chicago fire amounting to
$l65,0oU, consisting Of legal tenders, ma
tional bank and fractional notes, bonds
and coupons. They were so charred that
they would crumble at the touch. This
black mass was given to six ladies for
identification, and in the course of time
they accomplished their task. Other like
amounts from that city were in like man
ner successfully identified. -Washington

Something Worth Remembe

Here's a new idea which is worth little
reflection.
If in the putting up of decorations you
nee to it that lines from the tops of the diff
ferent objects with which we are to deco
rate mautel form angles pointing down
ward, then the effect produced will be
cheerful. If the points of the article point
upward, the effect will be opposite. Straight
lines rs well as curved lines produce the
effect of solidity, durability and support.
This Is constructive axiom, accepted
from the earliest ages. On this principle
wanscotings, doors and mantels are built
in straight and curved lines. But it would
be manifcstly wrong to furnish mantel
with ornaments whose tops or proportions
would give rounding or straight effect,
unless you desire such room to be stir
