A NEEDLE IN MS LUNG.
Strange Ending of New York DRUG
gist's Lung Trouble.

gists Lung ArouDie.
New York World, Jan. sth.
Oliver M. Stiger of No. So Trask
avenue, Bayonne, wholesale druggist
in New York city, was i'll about 10
months ago with pneumonia. 1t was
an unusually severe attack. A few
months after his recovery he complained
of sharp pains in his lungs particularly
on the left side. The pains became
worse and at times caused lin to cough
violently. He then feared that his lungs
were affected and that consumption was
inevitable He consulted local physi-
clans and New York specialists, but
their treatment gave him no relief. The
pains were harder to betlr and he
coughed more and more.
Last spring Mr.. Stiger saw specialist,
who, after thorough examination, de-
clared that his lungs were unusually
strong except single weak sPot in the
left one. The cause of thistweakness
was puzzle to the medical expert. He
told Mr.. Stiger not to worry pr try too
many remedies.
Later in the spring and in the summer
the pain became more sewers and It's
centre seemed to be worl1ingl towards
his back. II affected his entire system.
He continued in this condition through
the summer and fall, trying various
remedies, all, apparently, of no avail.
Mr.. Stiger Wednesday night OF last
week went home from business greatly
depressed in spirits, and after eating q
light supper went to bed. About 1890
the pain became intense. He called his
wife and asked her if she could mot do
something to relieve him. He said the
pains were In his back just to the left OF
the spinal column, near the base of the
lungs. She looked at the place and saw
a slightly colored spot. In the centre,
was what appeared to be the end Of q
piece of fine cord. AS she touched it
Mr.. Stiger complained of the paih, but
at his request she took hold of the bit OF
string to pull it out. 1t came slowly.
With extreme care she pulled out thret
inches of coarse thread and then large
sewing needle.
Mrs. Stiger tainted, but quickly re-
covered and then poulticed the injured
spot. Mr.. Stiger felt relieved instantly.
The pains ceased New Years Day and
his was the happiest home in town. !.
The wound on his back has healed
and he is gaining in weight and the
Consumption" he worried over does t1t
worry him any more. Mr.. Stiger wolid
like to know how that needle got in his
| lung.
The needle and thread had worked
through the left lung.

Have you met the clever little woman,
the woman who Is knocking around in

ideal Rosalind, who whispers to the
chatty woman, MADAM, in days gone

pretty girl how much you look like

MISTAKES OF OUR TIME.
Few of us do comprehend our mis-
takes.
When we get the grip we don't real
ize that it is because we don't know how
TO dress to suit the weather.
When we get the blues we don't
credit our livers with being the cause.
When we get the malaria we don't
think it IS because we have been ex-
posed to open trenches in the way of
streets,
When we get little "heady" we
never credit it to the whisky.
When we get sober we don't give time
the credit, but our own neglect.
When we get rich we think We are
smart.
When we get poor we think we are
just as smart, but not appreciated.
When we get lazy we call weakness.
When we get the devil it is probably
because we deserve it; but we don't like
