Ca.nical Incident i'm the Receiving Room
OF a Chicago Hospital.
Now and then some cOmical things
happcn in the receiving room out at
the county hospital. DIR. Hector was
on duty one night and had fallen asleep
on the little cot provided for physicians
on duty, when he was aroused by the
rattle of the patrol wagon at the front
entrance. SAWS the Chicago Herald. He
listened TO the shuffling footsteps in the
hall and knew it was n case OF drunk
with more or less elaborate trimmings.
Finally two policemen struggled into
the room assisting one of the most
wrctchcd and dilapidated specimens Of
humanity that ever lay on a stretcher.
The fellow had become intoxicated,
had fallen into a quarrel and had
suffered terrible beating. His face
was badly cut in "A dozen places. His
lips were swollen and bleeding, his
eyes were blacl1ened and half shut his
checks were lacerated and his teeth
were loose, and over all was the
raggedest, muddiest, most disheveled
suit of clothes possible To imagine
They laid him ON the operating table.
and one OF the attendants assisted the
doctor to remove the garments and
bathe him. while the policemen bade
good night and went back 20 their
beats In spite of his liquor and his
terrible drubbing the fellow was game
and a sort of grim humor welled up
every moment of the operation that
was necessary 10 fit him for recovery.
lie iolled about the stitches in his
check. and told the doctor the needle
must have been case hardened. He
protested against the plaster, and
claimed he had always heard a porous
plaster recommended. He finally
pulled ont a loo-encd tooth and offered
it To the attendant for paper weight.
At last the patching was completed,
aud he stood up IN an unsteady fashion,
his single garment being the sheet with
which he had been covered after his
bath. and while the doctor had been at
work upon him. 4 tall mirror at the
end of the office attracted his attention,
and nc walked toward it, wrapping his
sheet about his shoulders as if il had
been a Roman toga, struck the most
heroic of attitudes, and delivered him
self TO the sewed and cemented figure
in the glass:
o. pardon me, thou bleeding piece OF earth,
That I am meek aad gentle with these butch

UTTE2FLIES BATHING.
a Remarkable sight witnessed In Aus
tralia-

n henarkaOle sight witnessed In AUS
trslia-
1t is commonly thought that butter
flies dread water as fine lady breads
rain: but evidently this is not true in
Australia.
The case of an Australian butterfly
deliberately entering the water to take
a bath is recorded by NJ q. Lyell, Jr.,
in the Victoria Naturalist. He saw il
alght close to the water, into which it
backed till the whole of the body and
the lower part of the hind wings were
submerged, the two forc-legs alone re-
tanning their hold of the dry land. After
remaining in this position for something
like half minute it flew away, appar-
emily refreshed.
Mr.. Lyell says: During the morning
/ noticed a number doing the same
thing. In one instance no less than
four were to be seen within n space of
not more than three yards, and to make
sure that was not deceived / captured
several as they rose from the water,
and found in each case the body and
lower edge of the hind wings quite wet.
While in the water the fiuttering of the
wings, SO noticeable at other times,
was suspended, and SO intent were the
butterflies in the enjoyment of their
cold bath that they could hardly move,
even when actually touched by the net.
Apparently the heat of the weather
drove them down to the water, as inn
mediately upon emerging they flew up
again To the hillsides.H
butterflies are often seen apparently
sucking in the moisture around the
edge of pools; but they have never be-
fore been seen actually to enter the
water.

The Jet-BIack Negro.

The jet-black negro is a natural ora
tor and musician, therefore a natural
poet. Some of his corn husking songs
were models of rhythm and meter,
though the meaning of them was often
obscure, sometimes undiseoyerable. 1t
is the jet-black negro, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. who is preserving to-
day the traditions of his race: the mixed
blood has no tenacity of race memory,
no steadiness of race vision. The latter
is superior to the former in many points
as an individual; but he is always in
ferior as factor in lifting the race.
Indeed, his whole influence is to disin-
tegrate and degrade the race standard.

JUST RULE OF a WOMAN.

How n Feminine Sup~rintendent of Coal
Mine Manages Affairs.
Mrs. Francis Woodring is the super
intendent of a coal mine at Ashland,
Pa. She has occupied the position since
the death Of her husband several years
ago. The woman is liked by all her
employees, some one hundred and eighty
in number. She - the first ON deck in
the morning. she remains n the head
of the shaft until all of the employees
have gone TO work.
Not Il single accident. Saws the Ma
honey City Tribune, has occurred in the
mine since Mrs. Woodring took charge.
She is so careful that she wiz not al
low a man TO enter the shaft until the
aIr pressure is just 50. If there is a
'bad spot in the roof Mrs Woodring
insists that it must be propped UP at
once. When the miners stop TO prop"
they lose a little time One day Mrs
Woodring happened INTO miners

Prop that up at once" was the
woman superintendent order.
The man took his time. Mrs. Wood
ring then got mad and said:

The man begged off and Mrs. Wood
ring allowed him 10 remain. lie at
once started to repair the roof over his
head. He didn't start any too soon.
The next minute a large piece OF coal
fell on his toe and smashed IT. Had he
neglected the work OF repair a few min
utes later he would have been killed 10y
the fall of coal The miner was ever
thankful after that for the prompt ad-
vice Of the woman.
Directly after Mrs. Woodring took
charge of the mine the men insisted on
more pay for propping. The woman
called a meeting of the men and eN-
planned to them that her colliery had TO
compete with other mines and that if
couldn't The men were obdurate,
however. Mrs. Woodring then said:
''All right; | win give you the increase
out of my own salary" She never paid
it; she was never asked.
Her men wouldn't leave her now for
anything. They say she is an ideal
employer. If any of the employees or
the members of their family get sick
Mrs. Woodring never fails 10 visit them
and offer consolation. She is so liked
by everybody that She Is stylcd the

a Courteous Judge.

At the Old Bailey. it was customary
to sentence the whole of the prisoners
found guilty at the sessions at one time.
1t fell to Baron Graham's lot to perform
this duty, and he accordingly went over
the list with due solemnity, but omitted
one person brought up for sentence
Mr.. John Jones. The judge was on the
point of finishing the sentences. when
the officer reminded his lordship of this
omission Whereupon, the judge said,
gravely: ''Oh! i am sure / beg John
Jones pardon, and then sentenced him

Human Parasites

In South America there is a species of
fly that lays its eggs in the body of man,
and large-sized Larvae or incipient in
seets are frequently taken from under
the human skin. This fly is supposed
To lay its egg while the victim is bath
ing, as any part of the body is at
tackled. Very often some of the south
ern natives are fairly alive with larva,
which, if left to themselves, viii at last
become free from their confines and de-
velop into true dipteras

Porpoises In the East.

Porpoises are not seen so often in
New York harbor as they were eight or
ten years ago, says the sun. Then it
was not uncommon to see their crescent
backs suddenly heave into view twenty
yards in front of ferryboat. They
are still frequently noticed moving
northward along the Delaware and
New Jersey coast. Porpoise leather,
mostly in shoe strings, sells well in
the swamp" but it is difficult to OBJ
tain, as the one company engaged in
curing porpoise hides has never been
able to push the business with any
great activity.
