The Wonder of All wonders

Sarah Jessop, of this place, was one of
the most wonderful Of Georgia's many
natural freaks. She was colored woman.
and when I saw her last had Pinch
iron cylinder passing through her breast.
When Sarah was very small this passage
appeared as simple dent or cicatrice. At
the age of six years it was sufficiently large
to admit the thumb of an adult and ex-
tended entirely through the child's body.
At a later period-about the age of thir-
teen, believe-a local physician inserted
metal,tube as a protection to the girls
internal anatomy. When the size of the
cavity or passage increased the cylinders
loosened and dropped out, whereupon
larger ones were regularly inserted. When
Sarah died from other causes), at the age
of twenty-three, the cylinder was frac-
ton over two inches in diameter and passed
through her breast between the lungs,
coming out at the junction of the shoulder
blades.-Augusta (Ga) Cor. st. Louis

Tho sails hung listless on the pictured sea
Where green Sargasso meadows pulsed and
dreamed
In liquid atmospheres; the sea birds free
On silken pinions sank and rose and cleaned
sea OF glass and mingling gold it seemed.
The great sun rose. an open gate of heaven,
And landless seas filled the horizon broad.
Columbus gazed; when from some far shore
driven
By venturous wings. a happy land bird came
And sang upon the spars. The prophet pilot
heard
That winged messenger, on seas afiame.
That the dead air with mystic warnings
stirred,
And, as a lone discoverer, hailed the bird
Sent out to lead the New Worlds ark of God.
So, when the soul draws near its final haven
The advent anthem palpitates the light,
The sea grows calm. though in the morn and
even
No hills Of palm rise radiant on the sight,
Nor silver shores. nor crowns of temples white.
Munitions come, impalpable to sense,
The sea winds feel the distant highlands
breath.
And venturous birds. the songs of Providence
Wait through the air above. the tides Of death.
We know celestial airs around US glow:
We know celestial tides course through the
sea; -
OF spheres unseen we feel the influence:
The eye of faith looks forward and believes,
And iol the white winged dove brings olive
leaves.

Ignoring the Hired chaperon.

It seems to be the proper thing now to
utterly ignore the hired chaperon. She
may be as refined in appearance and as
well dressed as her charge, but if she &C
cepts pay for her services she seems to
have forfeited her right to any recogni-
ton. Several instances indicating this
have been noticed lately-one of the most
pronounced in hotel restaurant. A man
entered, escorting a very smart looking
young woman, who was accompanied by
her chaperon. Seating themselves the
party partook of long course dinner, the
two principals never once acknowledge
by word or look the presence of the quiet,
dignified looking and well dressed chaper-
on. = Her Point of View in New York

A Queer Business in London.

The London sewer hunter before COM
mencing operations provides himself with
a bullseye lantern, a canvas apron, and a
pole some seven or eight feet in length,
having an iron attachment at one end
somewhat in the shape Of hoe. For
greater convenience the lantern is invari-
ably fixed to the right shoulder, SO that
when walking the light is thrown ahead,
and when STOPPING its rays shine directly
to their feet. Thus accoutered they walk
slowly along through the mud, feeling with
their naked feet for anything unusual, at
the same time raking the accumulation
from the walls and picking from the crew
ices any article they see.
Nothing is allowed to escape them, no
matter what, its value, provided it is not
valueless. Old iron, pieces of rope, bones,
current coin of the realm and articles of
plate and jewelry-all is good fish which
comes to the hunters net.-Chambers'

Had No Faith in a Dream.

CDR. D. S. Martin is now living near
Dixon, Ills, in poverty because of his lack
of faith in Dreams" said Herbert E.
Brown, one of a party that were discussing
the supernatural. Forty years ago the
good doctor, who did valiant service dur
ing the cholera epidemic in Chicago. was
living with his wife at Galena, Ills. Mrs.
Martin, who was also practicing ply
stefan, dreamed that at certain spot a
very rich lead mine was located. She took
her husband and a neighbor to the spot
and instructed them exactly how to pro-
coed to reach the treasure. Neither of
them had any faith in dreams, and, after
working a couple of days with no other re-
suit than blistered hands, gave up the
work, not little ashamed of having un-
dertaken it. Two years later others took
up the work and discovered the richest
lead mine in all that section. "-St. Louis

A Big B1under.

Some years ago Willie Blair, the Queens
fiddler" was playing at a ball which the
Prince of Wales had given to the domes-
tics connected with Abergeldie castle. The
dancers had been rather exacting in their
demands upon the musician, and Willie
was in no very amiable mood when the
prince himself entered the room unob-
served by the fiddler, and stepping up be-
hind him said, .Play up the Lock of For
far Willie" The old man, without look
ing round, and thinking it was one of the
servants, growled in response, "Aye, an
wish you were a. drooned in it!'' The
prince laughed as heartily as anybody at
the mistake-a good deal more so than the
fiddler.-Scottish American

Bedclothing for the Sick.

We have still something to learn in the
matter of nursing. In hospital, as in pri-
vate practice, great errors are made in the
choice of bedclothing for the sick, and par
ticularly for the sick who are suffering
from febrile affections. We have got rid
of the heavy curtains around the bed: of
the grand accumulation of dust and other
uncleanliness, the tester; of the heavy val
lance, which converted the under part of
the bed into close cupboard, in which all
kinds of unwholesome and cumbrous ar
ticles lay concealed, including sometimes
excreted matter itself, and we have ban
ished the carpet, which often as hard
trodden dust laden rag made the floor be-
meath the bed persistently impure This
is all good, but the old feather beds, flock
mattresses, heavy blankets, thick, imper-
meable and dense counterpanes still en-
cumber many patient, rendering ventila-
ton of his body as impossible as in the
the days Of our forefathers.- Richard
