John Hoffman, workiDgman, touched
the Holy Coat on Sept. Sd, when he was
suffering severely from lupus. Four
weeks later his recovery began, and It
continued without interruption until
complete.
The franciscan Sister Ursula OF Neu-
WED had eprained her elbow, and Tor
years had been unable to use her arm.
The physicians said that the tendons
and nerves had been torn SO badly as to
preclude the possibility OF recovery.
Since touching the Holy Coat she has
been able to use the arm as il it never
had been injured.
Magdalena Weihnachter of Nieder-
Kontz, had lost, through rheumatism,
all power over her right leg, and had TO
be carried on stretcher to the catheral
where the Holy Coat was exposed. She
was conscious of new strength after she
touched the Coat, and at midnight OF the
day when she visited the altar she heard
cracking of bones in the deceased leg.
! Fer the first time in years she could
move it. On the following day she was
carried to the cathedral again by her
friends After touching the Coat sec,
ond time she rose and walked out into
| the street. M ....
Joseph Petri, in Westphalia, had St.
Vitus' dance before he touched the Holy
Coat; afterward he was entirely free
from the disease.
Mrs. Simmer, of Brachbach, had SUIT
fered nearly five years from an iuterna
disease which was supposed by he,
friends to be cancer. She was chronic
invalid until she laid her hand upon The
Holy Coat; since then she has been wei
and strong.
Peter Eul. Burdenbach baby, had
been rendered almost totally blind ii

the Holy Coat cured all his ailments
Johann Wecker, a 4.year old boy from
Berlin, had consumption Of the owelt
until his friends took him to the Treyes
cathedral. From that time he has beer
as strong as any boy.
Sister Stephanie of Trevss had a can
lear in her left armpit. She placed it or
| a picture which had been rubbed on the
H,ly Coat. Although her physicians
had told her that her only chance OF re-
covery was to be found in an operation
the cancer began to disappear from the
day tho picture touched it and is now
gone entirely. ::
| Joseph Wendling, an Alsatian boy
had necrosis and several other hardly
less serious diseases. He began to feel
better as soon as his parents left home
for their pilgrimage to Treves. Since he
touched the Coat he has cor valesed
steadily and is now said by physicians to
be virtually healed.

THE occasion for my disgust is that
twice within the past week have met
wives who did not care for the frivoli-
ties of life, and whose husbands did
not blame for casting Sleeps eyes at
more attractive women. The first wom-
an came into the dining-room of u hotel

in the dining-room was well dressed.

was short and not interesting. The

The money was on both sides de-

the thimble, pointed out the required

A second bet, double or quits, ended
to the surprise of the expert, in the same
result.

nerves of the loser, and the trick was
accomplished with great caution. The

MATHEMATICAL SIGNS.
How They Were Gradually Reduced l.
Their Present Form.

How They Were Gradually Reduced to
Their Present Form.
The sign of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word ''plus"
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part of the ''p'' was placed near
the center, hence the plus sign was
finally reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word was
first contracted into mus, with hori-
Zontal line above to indicate the con-
traction which was printers freak
that may be found in almost any book
bearing date earlier than the begin
ming of the eighteenth century. After
the lapse of a long period of time the
letters were omitted altogether, leaving
only the short line so well known to
all, thus -
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into char
acter resembling the letter X. This
was done simply because multiplication
is but shorter form of addition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the divideyd above horizontal
line and the divisoAe<,elow. In order to
save space in printing, the dividend
was placed to the left and the divisor
to the right, with a simple dot in place
of each.
The radical sign was derived from
the initial letter of the word "radix."
The sign of equality is said to have
first been used in the year 1857 by a
sharp mathematician, who adopted it
as substitute for the words equal
to."-St. Louis Republic.

Heavy Cost Of Salvage at Sea.

Enormous sums have to be paid az
steamers when they are disabled at
sea, and probably this is more fruit
full source of expense to the large com
panies than any other. On her first
voyage the City of New York las she
was then called ran ashore off Sandy
Hook, and it cost the company $780, 900
to float her off. In 1890 her sister
ship, the City of Paris, broke her en-
gines off the Irish coast, and was
towcd into port at an expense of $780,
600 as salvage money. The City of
Boston broke her shaft in 1882, and it
cost the company $3.50 to get her in
to port, and the Venezuela, of
the Red ID line, stuck on the Brigan-
tine shoals off New Jersey in 1889, so
that the company had to spend $40, 900
to get her off. The City of Richmond
was lowed into Halifax harbor, in 1882,
at an expense of $35, 000 The list could
be largely extended, showing that the
amount of salvage money paid for rem
dering services to disabled steamers at
sea is so enormous that it almost equals
the loss entailed by injuries to our
wooden vessels. The loss of life is less.
1t is quite rare that an ocean steamer
is submerged beneath the waves so that
the crew and passe ngers are lost, but
when such an accident does transpire
the destruction is appalling. = Home

SHE WAS A SMART GIRL.
And She Made Him Draw Big Prize In
Loves Lottery.

There was young man who had
girl friend, He went TO see her at ir-.
regular intervals. lie made his last
call one day last week. She had some
wedding-cake from the nuptials of
friend of hers, and she was telling him
of new way she had discovered for
finding out whether you were going to
get married within a year Il will
take some of this cake" she said, land
put it in this envelope, and will take
seven slips of paper and write on six of
them the names of six girls you know,
anyone of whom you are likely to
marry. The seventh | will leave
blank. Then | will put the slips in
the envelope with the Interchangeable
and give the whole thing to you.
Now, you must take it and put it I'M
der your pillow when you go home. In
the morning, the very first thing after
you open your eyes, you must take out
one slip. Do this for seven mornings in
succession, and on the last slip will be
the name of the girl you are sure to
marry. If the blank comes last you
will never marry"
The young man was quite impressed
with the scheme. lie took the envelope
and promised faithfully to fulfill all
the conditions, and to come back and
report at the end of seven days. He
went home ard put the envelope under
his pillow. Next morning he drew out
a slip, and on it was the name of the
girl who had given the charm to him.
He thought that that was pretty tough
luck, for he really liked the girl very
much. He was out rather late next
night, and when he awolSe he was in a
hurry and forgot all about the charm.
When he got home that night he began
thinking the matter over and wonder
ing who the other girls were.
He got the envelope and peered into
it. The slips were all carefully folded
and he could not see name. Then
his curiosity got the upper hand. He
took out all the slips and unfolded
them. All of the remaining six had
names on them and in each instance
the name was that of the girl who had
prepared the charm. He sat down and
thought long and earnestly. Then he
put on his evening clothes and went
straight up to that girls house. He
stayed long time and when he came
away he was smiling and happy, and
there is going to be a wedding on the
West Side one of these days.

A Fishhawk's Mistake.

Fishhawks get their entire food sup
ply from the water. Their eyes are so
constructed that even at great heights
they can see fish that swim near the
surface and then dive with lightning
speed. The fish is caught in the claws
and is taken to the nest of the bird be-
fore being eaten. The writer has seen
a hawk make mistake and catch
hard crab, and when the crab got both
his big claws fairly at work on the
tender part of the birds legs there was
somewhat of shaking and diving in the
air to get rid of the crab, but it is not
often they get fooled. 1t is generally
all in their favor. A hawk will fly
away with a big eel wriggling in its
claws that a man could not hold thirty
seconds with both ands.-Philadelphia

plished by taking advantage of the
flies habit of flying to the window or

and to accomplish this, darlsen all the

material, cutting hole in one of the
shades, over which is firmly pinned
