A lady, while eatinga piece Of pie, fell

lowed; but the patient insisted that
there was still some obstruction which
not only choked her, but impaired her
power of speech. For six weeks she re-
manned nearly speechless and under CON
slant treatment. After that time she
slightly improved in health and voice,
but without permanent relief.
At length, nearly two years after the
accident, DR.. Ransom, of New York,
was consulted and removed piece OF
glass from the larynx, hanging between
the vocal cords. 1t was triangular in
shape and measured on its three edges
seven-eighths of an inch, one inch and
II inches respectively!
The woman's voice at once improved,
and the irritation mainly disappeared,
though slight swelling remained.
Thus the permanent results were exceed
ingly slight, though so big fragment
of glass had remained in the larynx fol-
a year and nine months. Youths Com.

How Green Game . ID cho.sn.

The early Celts worshiped the dawn
and the sunrise. 1t is more than proba-
BILE, therefore, that their liking for the
color green, which we see in their flags,
sashes, ETC., arose from mistake among
those who had lost thorough knowl-
edge of the Irish language. The sun, in
Celtic, is called by word pronounced
exactly like our word green" and it is
likely that the Irish fondness for that
color arose through the striking similar
ity OF the two words. In the same way,
when we talk about greenhouse we
think they are SO called because plants
are kept green in them during the win
ter; yet it is far more probable that the
word is derived from the old Celtic
word for sun, because greenhouses are
SO built as to catch the rays and heat of
the sun and store them for future use. -

Jopn Shorger has been paying his at

come very near proposing several times,
but did not dare risk it for fear she
might refuse to accept the nomination.
He got around it very nicely, however,
while escorting her home from church.
He said:

A Distinction.

The story ii told of an American girl
who was stopped one morning by an
English railway porter because she at
tempted to carry pet rabbit on board a
train.
aWhy," said she, there's no rule
against taking rabbit. Rabbits are
harmless. A friend Of mine carried a
turtle ON the train the other day."
aThat's different, persisted the man.
aRabbits is cats, and cats il. dogs, and
they's excluded: but turtles is insects.

bringing his musket to bear on the M
partition. 1T Is the head Of the wolf We
disturbed when we came to the hut
The next moment the cabin was filed
with smoke and the boys saw the head
vanish, and the stars only were seen
through the hole In the roof.
The assaults Of the ravenous beasts
now began to tell on the strength Of the
door. Jean placed his body against It,
and Antoine fired as often as he could.
but the wolves appeared ten times
fiercer.
s'Listeni" said Jean, suddenly, and he
bent toward the door, making an ear
trumpet with his hands.
The little fifer looked through a crack.
He turned to his friend, crying out with
joy:
Il see dark figures moving over the
snow. They seem to be horsemen.
Whatever they are, they are coming this
way. They are too tall to be more
wolves
Jean picked up the drum and beat i
wild tune, which went out over the
snow. It was answered by shouts, and
now both could see horsemen galioping
forward.
"They are Cossacksy" whispered An
tome, his shoulder to the door 1--WE
shall never see the grand army again"
The wolves were making final effort
to force the door. Antoine mechanically
met them, firing away his last charge
and dropping his weapon.
In another moment a party of wild
looking Cossacks swooped down upon
the hut and surrounded it. while the
wolves drew off.
"Come outtr cried the Cossacks.
Come out, you who are withinl Sur
render to the soldiers Of the great czar!''
Jean and Antoine opened the door and
walked forth. When the Cossacks saw
the two boys they set up loud laugh,
and their hetman, fine looking fellow,
satirically touched his cap in the way Of
a salute. They had expected to capture
a number of men soldiers.
Eyes, there is the big wolf on the
roof said Jean to Antoine; and sure
enough up there lay the big gray mon
ster, the cause of all their trouble. One
of the Cossacks pulled the carcass from
the roof and threw it on the snow.

Jean and Antoine drew up together in
the snow, and in a moment the lively
airs Of France were waited over the
dreary waste. For awhile the faces oil
the Cossacks c1ouded.
But at last they swung their great
caps over their heads and cheered the
boys of the Yonne.
"You shall go back to your army,
said the hetman. .sYou shall not be
taken to prison. You have been brave.
We like brave boys like our own"
The next day the rear guard Of the
grand army saw approaching them with
white flag troop Of wild horsemen Of
the steppes, and the regiment to which
Jean and Antoine belonged was over
joyed to receive once more into the ranks
the. little musicians.
The boys endured the horrors Of that
retreat, and in after years, when they
sat with old playmates under the spread
ing trees of the village and related
stories Of Napoleon's i'll fated campaign,
they never failed to tell how they fought
the big wolf and his pack, and their res

The Sovereign Grand Lodge to Begin Its
Sessions Today.
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 1S.-The Odd
Fellows spent the day quietly for the
most part, many Of them being tired
from their journey across the continent
and their excursion yesterday, which
occupied the greater part Of the night.
The city is full of visitors, and large
numbers are expected from Oregon and
Washington on the early morning trains
Special services were held in number
of churches today, and were largely at
tended by the visitors. The sovereign
grand lodge will begin its sixty. eighth
annual session tomorrow. Among the
important questions to be considered
are several that were either reported
adversely by the committees to which
they were referred, or defeated at the
last session. Among those is the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
reducing the minimum age of admission
to the order to Is years. The question
of the propriety of admitting saloon
keepers to the order will also come up
for consideration. A series of amend
ments to the constitution proposed last
year, reducing the name Of the sover-
eign grand lodge to Sovereign Lodge of
Independent Odd Fellows," and the
titles of the officers by emitting grand"
will probably be brought up hgain at
this session. A grand parade will occur
tomorrow afternoon.

The grass on the west slope was green
and inviting, and many ladies in fresh
toilets availed themselves of the eward
as a resting place. Quantities of those
present came in carriages, which were
massed near the band stand. A light
breeze made sailing on the lake especial
ly attractive, in consequence of which
all boats, down to the Esquimau skiff,
were in great demand.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE susPENpER GIRL.

The Nippers on Her Brothers. "Gal-
luses" Puzzled Her.
"I'll never wear the horrid things
again"
So spoke well known pretty girl who
lives in swell part of the city, to her
equally pretty companion, on an electric
car, yesterday. The remark was accom-
panied by such scornful look towards
the suspenders of her friend, that the
writer gave these specimens of the latest
feminine fad very searching inveetiga-
ton. Aside from the fact that they were
evidently useless so far as affording any
support WAS concerned, they were quite
above the ordinary female suspender,
being very prettily made. and of the
same material as the stylish costume of
the girl. Consequently he could sec. no
occasion for the bitterness of the remark.
Evidently neither could the wearer of
the condemned articles, for che meekly
inquired:
why, dear?"
Its great secret, but if you'll prom
ise not to tell living soul, will let you
into it."
OF course the suspender girl prom
ised, and the anti-suspender one con-
tinued:
"Well, you know my new white street
gown? The other dav Belle - came

upstairs to put on this white dress.

yes.
"Well, while we were drinking our
phosphates, all of sudden Will said to
me:
"Hello, tbs; where did you get those
suspenders ?"
Il began to humble something about
borrowing his, when he began to laugh
and said: %, that was all right, but
haven't you forgotten somethipg?' and
he took hold of little jgger that I
hadn'tnoticed before. There were two of
them-one on each side, only instead of
having hutton-hole at the end they
had little clasp--a kind of nipper, and
they hung right between the regular
fasteners that had button holes."
