A west end young miss has never
been known to take a dare. Close to her
home is yeneering factory, and the
other day there was sign hung out for
"Boy Wanted" 1t happened that the
young lady had several of her friends
visiting her that day, and from the front
window they could read the sign. "Ti-
ma, you dare not go and apply for that
place" said one of the young ladies pres
ent.
"Who says daren't2" responded Tina.
Without further ado she rugged herself
out in suit belonging to her brother.
Fixing her hair in a manner that it could
not be told, she sailed forth. Her move
ments could be watched from the house,
and the scene that followed was a most
laughable one. Tina walked boldly into
the factory. The clerk approached her,
and she said that she wanted to apply for
that job. The clerk looked at the pretty
miss face and smiled. "How much will
you give meY asked Tina. 81 won't work
for less than 81 a week." The firm would
not pay this much, and Tina walked out,
highly insulted to think that her services
were not worth more than "a week.

The Power of the Mind.

over year ago friend of mine was
seized with dangerous illness which
threatened his life and worse. He i'm
mediately was seized with remorse for
past offenses in the face of coming dis
solution and sought by prayers and Of
ferings to satisfy the wrath of the great
unknown. He became so overwrought
with worry that he was moved to tears
and on more than one occasion did vari-
GUS things which afterward in good
health he admitted were ludicrous and
idiotic. No change for the better came
for long time until a change Of physi-
clans was effected. Then he began to re-
gain health, and the sick was eventually
cured. That was not the best nor worst
oft all.
During his return journey to health
he attributed all his buoyant feelings
and recovery to the devotions of himself
and others offered to the Maker and
stated that the Lord must have guided

OPERATING ON rns BRAIN.
Erestips Boy FOR an fhJary Reosivec
Over Ten Years nsfore.

4
over Ten yssrs Bsfore.
A boy aged IS had rsceivs1 a blow on
the right side Of his head from n pair oI
tongs eight days before his admission Il
the hospital Three days after the acci
dent convulsion suddenly set In, involv.
ing the right side Of the body, beginning
in the arm and spreading to the leg and
face, and followed rapidly In four days
by eight other commissions and paralysis
Of the entire right side of the body. Most
Of my readers would unhesitating1y at
tribute the commissions and the paralysis
TO this blow from the tongs But IL must
be remembered that the right side of the
brain supplies the left side Of the body,
and vice versa. Hence Mr.. James Har-
risson suspected that the paralysis of the
right side of the body indicated trouble
in the left half of the brain. Examining
bis head, he found on the left side small
scar at the junction of the arm and leg
centers. Inquiry elected the fact that
10 years before he had received a severe
blow there, which, however, had not been
followed by any serious symptoms. Could
this old injury, after 80 long time as 10
years, possibly be the cause Of his pres
ent serious trouble?
Further inquiry brought out the fact
that for about year before his admis-
sion the boy had repeated twitching Of
his right arm. So convinced was Mr..
HARRISON that modern cerebral locali-
zation was right that he opened the boys
skull, not where most people would sup
pose would be natural-namely, ON the
right side of the head, where he had re-
ceived the blow from the pair of tongs
eight days before-but on the left side,
at the site of the blow 10 years before.
and at definite point-namely, over the
fissure of Rolando, at the place CORE
spending to the motor center for the arm
as established by experiments on ami
mails.
Although the first injury was received
SO long before, yet the paralysis showed
that it was the left side of the brain that
was involved, and the twitching of the
arm showed that this was the particular
part of the left side of the brain where
the injury probably existed. Mr.. Har-
risson punctured what seemed ON the
surface to be a normal brain and opened
an abscess, and this boy, otherwise alb
solutely doomed to death, made an unin-
terrupted recovery.
This is only one instance out of prob
ably more than $50 cases of abscess in
the brain which have been reported with.
in the last seven or eight years which
have been diagnosticated with the same
accuracy and by the same means.-W.

eRlsf ESSAY ON CYCLONES.

A Former Tennesseean Relates Some Of
His Experiences I'm Oklahoma Territory.
Charles .. Freeman, who was until
recently police justice in Chattanooga,
is now resident Of Guthrie, o. T. A
few days ago the Chattanooga Times re-
eeived the following letter from Mr..
Freeman:

them cyclones. You can jump on the
silver issue, or the Chinese exclusion bill,
or the police commission, or IL you run

two, but don't you fool with cyclones.
When you see something coming that
looks like a sand glass with hi in its
neck and whiskers ON its breast. that's
cyclone, and if you amt got no cyclone
cellar you get down in manhole and
pull the trap down and wait till the
clouds roll by. Don't you go to trusting
in Providence either. When Providence
goes to work and sets up first class cy.
clone in good running order, he is too
tired to go ahead and keep the cattle of
the track.
You never saw the water lifted out of
a river clean down to the bed for half

a stone bnilding. did your Mol Well,
don't you go disputing it just cause you
didn't see it, If you'll come here to

And still that cyclone wasn't satisfied.
1t had to go waltzing around over the
country and kill two people and lay out

had told me that cyclone had separated

AFRAID of the BIgness of the Fair.

whole than to see any other district COW
cred with houses, and it is difficult even
TO visit it, for no one, not even an Eng
lishman, eau walk the distances. The
topography has to be learned, like that
of some great city, and the artificial
means of conveyance are all crowded
beyond their power. Houses without
end, statues without number, distinctive
flags in thousands. beautiful and curious
objects in myriads, spectators in droves,
roar as of London at midday. a hurry
as of men catching the morning trains
can all that tend to make the attention
which all are summoned to pay of the
slightest value for their future hours9 II

enjoyment is not vicious. though it is

Stealing the Declaration of Independence

Stealing the Declaration of independence
When James Monroe was president
and John Quincy Adams secretary Of
state, IN ingenious English engraver OBJ
aimed permission of the two dignitaries
mentioned to take the Declaration of In
dependence and engrave it in facsimile
on copper. He carried the precious docu-
ment to the printing Office of one Peter
Force. When everything was in readi-
ness. he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid a sheet of india paper of
the same size upon it. This india paper
was next moistened with water in which
gum arabic had been dissolved. Aheavy
proof roller with a weight hanging from
each end was then rolled several times
over the historic document. When the
india paper was removed from the face
of the instrument, it took with it at least
one-half of the ink used in writing and
signing the document,
The document is less than a century
and a quarter years old, and with proper
care should be almost as legible as it was
on the 5th day of July. 1776. AS it is,
only II signatures out of the So can be
read without q glass, and some of them
have disappeared beyond recall, all on
account Of the thieving trick of a gov
eminent which, when they found that
they could not keep the colonies depend
ent, stole the very ink from the docu-
ment which declares our independence.
