ST. LOUIS, No., April l3-The Sisters OF
the Visitation report miracle which was
performed in their midst last Thursday
morning. For the last five years Sister
Mary Philomena has suffered from what
was believed an abscess of the brain. She
bled from the nostrils, eyes and ears, the
blood dripping from them for hours. Par
tial blindness resulted from these
attacks. Recently DR.. Adolph Alt,
the attending physician, gave UP
all hope of recovery unless an
operation was performed. The sister
was given the right to choose for herself.
Her decision was that before she would
submit to an operation she would ask
that "novenas" be said to the blessed sis
ter Mary Margaret in her behalf. She did
not ask for prayers for her recovery, but
simply that Gods will be made plain to
her"
a Lucky Mistake for the Sister.
tuesday morning Sister Baptista visited
the sick nun in her cell and offered up
"novena" in private prayer. She ,lso
gave her a relic, piece of linen worn by
Sister Mary Margaret hundreds of years
ago, and a phial of holy water with
which to bathe her bleeding eyes. In
paroxysm of pain Wednesday night
Sister Philomena swallowed the
blessed relic. When she awoke
Thursday she felt of strange pricking
just above her left eye. Lifting her hand
to the spot she felt metallic substance,
which she grasped and pulled out. 1t was
needle. and transixed on its point was
the linen relic that the sister had swal-
lowed the night before. The truth of this
marvellous miracle is vouched for by DR..

Interesting Experiments at Bellevue

NEW YORK, April 13.-Professor John
F. Kennedy, the hypnotist, gave some
interesting experiments Friday at Belle
vue hospital to show the value of hypno-
tism as an anasthetic. a subject was
hypnotized and needle and yard of
thread pushed through his tongue, and he
seemed to enjoy it. Then the needles was
forced through the subjects cheek with
out apparent pain. The last of these ex-
periments consisted in informing the sub
iect that his right arm was dead, after
which the lighted end of a cigar was held
against his arm until the flesh sizzled, the
subject exhibiting no sigh OF pain.

1t was unquestionably a scientific tri-

his subjects ate red pepper for ice cream,
and nibbled daiutilv on raw onions as a
substitute for pound cake The largest
and hottest kind of green peppers were
devoured ravenously under the impression
that they were choice Sicilian figs. One
subject drank four ounces of castor oil,
only to smack his lips and ask for "more
beer" The climax of the entertainment
was an imaginary yacht cruise in which
three subjects participated. 1t termin-

Our metropolis was alive with excite

Pogis, it was 'agitated to it's center"
The sudden Juror for sleighing, added
to the inevitable buzz of holiday prepa-
ration, drove the usually quiet popula-
ton into a fever Of action. Every avail
able sleigh, however old, was rooted
from its hiding place; horses accustomed
only to the plow and the market wagon
pricked up their ears to the unwonted
hi-g' lang! Of excited drivers, and even
crockery crates and dry goods boxes
were put upon extemporized runners.
All piketon, swathed in furs or blank
cts, was bundled into something that
would slide; the road to the "Bull's
Eye"-the sedate drovers' tavern five
miles out-was resonant with the merry
music Of their bells and the rollicking
laughter of their occupants, while it's
primitive bar room and sanded parlor
were alike crowded from nipping morn
to frosty eve.
And how delicious is a sleigh ride
when all surroundings are propitious!

the crlmulate dust from still crevices of

one now, and, after blinking at the
present for a while, creep back again
and curl themselves up for longer nap.
