ding to make its way down the mid
die of the aisle to the altar and
straight out again. That has been
quite done away with, its place be-
ing taken by an arrangement that
is as movable as the feast and fast
days in the calendar Every bride
has the right, and usually the incli-
nation, to vary the programme of
the ceremonial and the guests in
the pews, not being taken into her
confidence, have simply to obey the
scriptural, Watch and wait F"
They do wait, and they also watch
with much craning of necks and
twisting of eyes, not to lose even
the half second of appearance. A
church wedding took place on the
eve Of Lent, at which it seemed to
be understood that the bridesmaids
were to appear from the door at
the right of the chancel, and pres
emily they did so appear, three of
them very pretty, and walking
slowly down the right aisle Every
eye was upon them, and their pro-
gress interestedly watched; they
had, almost reached the rear of the
church when it was discovered that
three equally pretty and equally de-
serving of attention young women
were making a similar progress
down the left side aisle, almost un-
noticed There was a loud murmur
of surprised obs and abs as the
audience realized that it had lost
something, followed by speedy re-
adjustment Of vision to take in both
professions. A feature of this we'd
ding was the discarding by the
bride of the conventional white sat
in wedding gown, She wore in
stead what the French rightly in
sist all young brides should wear
white silk tulle The expression, "a
cloud of tulle, was eminently APP
plicable to her appearance as she
walked up the aisle with much tulle
drapery and huf1iness about her, in
to and with which the long tulle
veil tastefully and becomingly ar
ranged itself.

Pettit's birthday, Wednesday, Feb. 2lst.
The affair was one of the quiet and plea
SAINT occasions There being no per-
sons present besides the immediate fam
lily, except Mr.. and Mrs. Hewitt Haw-
kins and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Lay. The
whole arrangement was the more enjoy
able by being an entire surprise to Mr..
and Mrs. Petit, who knew nothing Of
anything unusual being done, until they
were led in the dining room to behold a
table as handsomely arranged and as
well ladened with good things to tempt the
appetite as is ones fortune often to see,
in addition to which all the children and
some of the grand children showed their
affection for the good mother by presents
from each to her 1t was indeed an en-
joyable day and we hope our friend and
neighbor, Mrs. Petit, may live to enjoy
many, many such anniversaries.
Again death has entered our midst
and taken one OF our oldest citizens, Jas
+. Hiner, ~ years this month, who at
our last writing had received stroke OF
paralysis, died Wednesday, Feb. Dist,
1894, at O'Clock a. IN without ever re-
gaining his speech or in anyway telling
his suffering except by very slight move
ment, though seemingly conscious. 1t
should be OF great consolation to his
family that he was not left here to linger
and suffer, but was at once taken to his
rest-where there is no pain. The de-
ceased was an old and consistent member
Of the Baptist church, good and ho"or-
ed citizen, kind husband and loving
father, and man respected and loved
by all his friends. He leaves wife,
three daughters and three sons One
son, Hartze. Hiner, of Texas, could not
be here to see his father and receive a
last and parting look. While it is sad to
give up this husband and father, and
while we sympathze deeply with the
family, they should feel to thank God
that he was taken at once. That his life
was well spent, he had reached a good
age, and left them well prepared to meet
his Judge and Lord. The body was i'm
tered in the Hill cemetery Thursday,
with short service at the grave. Funeral
services will be held at some later date
by Rev. w. Ii. Dawson.

A NAIL IN HER BRAIN.
Kansas Furnishes What is Said to be
The Most Remarkable Case
On Record.

For six weeks AIRS frank lloadson Of
Abilene lived with "A sixpenny nail in her
skull. Remarkable as this story may
feem. il H. never hclcss true. and Mrs.
Roadson, who is in her fifty-ninth year,
will recover from this terrible ordeal.
About eight weeks ago physician was
celled to see her, she being apparently
suffering from paralysis OF some kindred
trouble. One side seemed deadened, and
no amount of will power on her part
could cause normal action. Electric bat
teries were applied repeatedly, and eff
forts were made to induce the paralyzed
nerves to act once more, but with little
avail. until the physician, thinking per-
haps better results might be attained, or
dered her thick hair cut off.
She objected, but it was done, and on
examination sore spot was discovered
with the head of n nail Embedded there
in upon the very crown of her head. An
operation was performed, and to the
surprise of the physicians present n six.
penny nail inches long was removed.
IL had penetrated straight into The brain
its full length, and an abscess had
formed upon the brain because of its
presence there. Two days later another
operation was performed. the abscess
was removed, and the patient is getting
along well, apparently about to regain
full control of her muscles.
The most remarkable part Of this
strange story was the discovery Of the
cause of its being there. At first she
stoutly denied any knowledge of it being
there, but at last admitted that she had
herself driven the nail into her skull,
pounding it down with stone, for the
express purpose os ending her life. Ply
sicians say this i, the most remarkable
case on record.--Topeka Special to st.
Louis Republic.

ExHl8ITS HIS HEART.
This Is What the Subject of n Peculi
Surgical Operation Does.

Tais Is What the Subject of n Peculiar
Surgical Operation Does.
Physicians of this city are receiving
visits from an unfortunate citizen of Buff
falo who has had a peculiar experience.
Recently he called on a professor in the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, who
explained to a reporter yesterday the con-
dition of his visitor as follows:
"The man hid disease of the chest
some time ago and was operated upon by
physician in Buffalo, who found it nee
essary to remove part of the chest on
the left side, exposing the heart. The
wound healed, but the opening remained,
so that now there is a considerable hole
in his chest There is of course some
coveringof skin over the heart, otherwise
the man could rot have survived, but the
action Of the heart is observable, and one
can put his hand through the opening in
the chest and feel the heart at work"
The professor was unwilling to say
much about the case, which he said was
of special interest only to medical men.
He said it was an extraordinary case
and was worthy of being made the sub
ject of a medical treatise. He under.
stood that the man was travelling about
the country exhibiting himself to physi-
clans for small consideration.
"He came to me-" he added, land ]
examined him and gave him a small
sum. He then went away, and do not
know where he is now"
Another physician said that the hole
was about 3 incht square and that three
ribs had been cut in the operation. He
said also that an opening similar to the
one in the chest existed in the mans
back, under the heart.-New York Sun.
