A Strange Fracture.

One Of the strangest fractures
known to the medical profession was
recently treated at the Pennsylvania
hospital, where young man ap-
peared with his arm broken between
the shoulder and elbow. He said
that he had tried to throw stone
that was too heavy for him, and in
bringing his arm around the bone
snapped. 1t seems hardly possible
that the elbow and shoulder joints
should be firm enough to stand a
strain that would break the bone, and
the doctors decided that there must
have been some softening of the bone.
Such cases have happened before,
but it has always been with growing
boys, whose bones are brittle enough
to break at any unusual strain.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

Beauty Everywhere.

The remotest corner of the globe is
full of wonder and beauty. The la
ziest bank in the world, away from
towns, where no artists do congre-
gate, upon which no farm laps, where
no vines hang their cooling clusters
nor flowers spring, nor grass invites
the browsing herd, is yet spotted and
patched with moss Of such exquisite
beauty that the painter, who in all
his life should produce one such thing,
would be master in art, an immor-
tai in fame, and it has the hair of 10, :
900 reeds combed over its brow, and
its shining sand and insect tribes
might win the students lifetime.
Gods least thought is more prolific
than mans greatest abundance. -

Raw Beef Sandwiches.

The meat balls and the raw beef
Sandwiches recommended by DR..
Loomis are both made from a good
cut of the round of beef. Scrape the
steak, which should be cut quite
thick, with a sharp knife passed over
its surface, and you will get the red,
nutritious part of the beef without
any of the indigestible white fibers
that hold it together. If you want
the beef for the sandwiches, scrape
until you have enough for your pur-
pose, season with salt and very lit
tie white pepper and spread on thin
slices of buttered bread. Fold the
slices and trim them neatly as you
would in making any other sand
witches. Prepare the meat in the
same way for the balls, season it,
voll into ball and broil as you would
a piece of steak.-N. Y. Post.

Linens Uses,

The truth about linen is that IL Isn't
the ideal dressing for beds at all 1t is
cold and slippery and insures sensitive
persons the dream of sleeping on an ice
berg, which does we'll enough for an occa-
sional experience like seasickness, but
which pals on too frequent repetition.
Besides that it wrinkles and tumbles, in
spite of its heavier body much more than
cotton does giving bed after one nights
use a mosS slovenly and uninviting APP
pearance.
Nobody recommends linen for body
wear. Its firm texture and hard surface
make it wholly nonabsorbent. 1t allows
the body to become chilled by refusing the
perspiration and so has been known to
bring on serious illness. For outside wear
in summer linen may be tolerated as
clothing, but nowhere else. Where, how
ever, it is at its most useful and best is in
household uses. For table service for the
toilet and for minor ornamental details 1t
Is simply invaluable. Its smoothness Of
texture, it's brilliancy, which laundering
even increases, It's exquisite freshness,
makes it the one fabric fit to drape the
dining table and to use in the toilet, while
Its suitability for needlework decoration
makes 1T admirable for all kinds of fancy
work. And here it is rightfully used, but

The Mechanism of Thought.

A person shuts his eyes of his own
free will. We take his hand, we
cross the forefinger and the middle
one over the other, and between
them we slip little ivory ball A
singular illusion Immediately arises.
The person believes he feels two
balls. And why2 No doubt because
under ordinary conditions, when the
fingers are not crossed, one ball
would not simultaneously touch the
right edge of the forefinger and the
left edge of the middle finger-two
balls being necessary to produce the
double sensation. Such is the ex-
perimental fact we all possess in our
memory without being conscious
of it.
By an artificial arrangement of the
fingers, one ball may produce these
two impressions, and the mind, not
taking into account this artificial dis
position of the fingers and interpret
ing the impressions by the ordinary
rules, arrives at the illusion of touch
which has just been described. Moth
ing is simpler to bring about than
this illusion, because the sensory inn
preston from which it is derived
may be modified at will, without any
necessity of speaking to the subject
under experiment. Is it the same
with an ideal Evidently not. For
in order to communicate an idea one
must speak to person and make
ones self understood, so that as he
becomes informed about the object
of ones inquiry illusion is impossi-
ble.-Fortnightb Reuie,c.

MarlbOrOugh's Gifts.

1t was characteristic of Marlbor-
ough that from apparently small in
dications he possessed the power of
divining the enemy's plans and was
thus enabled to forestall them. From
the experience of the recent past he
foresaw with admirable clearness the
immediate future and was able, as it
were, to map out coming events from
study of the position at the mo-
ment. He could balance future prob
abilities with strange accuracy and
could fill in with living figures the
sketchy outline furnished by the spy.
Without this peculiar gift, one of
the instincts that mark the born gen
eral, no campaign can be directed
with success To realize what is
going on beyond range of hills or
any other natural barrier to human
vision and out of the reach of recon.
noitering parties is one of the prob
lens which perpetually confront the
military commander. On the cor
rect solution of that problem de
ponds greatly the success of all mill.

Escaped His Whipping.

Not long since a certain mother in this
town thought that she had occasion to
whip her boy, No doubt she was con-
scientious in the matter, but there is little
question in my mind that If justice pre-
vailed the boy would have been the one to
chastise his mother. Nevertheless we will
let that point pass until another time
MAY go up stairs a minutei' asked
the little fellow as the mother who loved
him produced the riding whip she kept
for such offices of love. The permission
was granted, and the boy left the room.
Failing to come back promptly, his moth
er thought best to follow him and find
out the cause of his delay She stopped
at his bedroom door, and through an open
crack beheld her small son on his knees
80 God" he prayed, If you ever
helped a fellow, come nowl"
The prayer took effect, and the culprit
got off without whipping. Now, that
story may make you laugh, but it had
Just the opposite effect upon me. The
tears sprang to my eyes at the first hear,
ing and have lain very close to the lids
ever since. Such a boy as that to be
whipped like donkey Reason and jus
tice, and, above all, love, can guide and
control where blows only harden and
make liars out of sensitive natures.-Cht

A Mirror That Cannot BE Broken.

For many years popular superstition
has found favor in the minds Of many re-
garding the misfortunes which would fol
low the persons who broke a mirror, but
at last this fear of i'll luck promises to be
come a thing of the past. The oelluloid
mirror is new invention which should
have a future. The manner of construct
ing it is as follows: A plate of transpar
ent celluloid is coated with silver or other
polished metal, over which another layer
of Opaque celluloid is placed, and mir
TOR is obtained which may be burned, but
which will not be broken by an accidental
fall. 1t Is hoped that this invention may
be applied with advantage to optical in

the ductility of the substance, which per

greater ease than rehectors In metal while

Fishing With a Sunken Fly.

"You might not think it worthy of
your skill as a fly fisherman, said
one who is an expert in the art him
self, land ordinarily it wouldn't be,
as it seems a trifle vulgar in style,
but if you ever come to fishing for
black bass in certain kind of water
you will find that you must sink your
fly or go without any fish.
For instance, there isn't a better
black bass fishing water on the cont
nent than Saginaw river, Michigan,
or any where the bass are bigger or
more gamy. But the water is deep
and very much discolored by the bark
on the logs of the endless professions
of pine RATS that go up and down
that stream. Whitefish in the Sagi-
nav river would be whitefsh only in
name, for they would take on the hue
of the pine dyed water just as trout
in the hemlock bordered creeks of
Pennsylvania are so dark in color
that, compared with their brothers
of the open wood streams, they are
like mulatto compared with a white
man.
There is only one way of fly fish
ing that black bass can be taken in
Saginaw river, and that is the seem
ingly unsportsmanlike way l am
speaking Of You must have large
and rather gaudy flies. Three inches
above the dropper put a No. 2 split
shot on your leader to sink your flies.
They must be sunk almost as deep in
the water as if you were fishing with
bait Trail them toward the surface
smartly, and when one of those big
bass strikes a fly, which will be so
often that you will be astonished, if
you don't say that you never had
sport before fly fishing for bass then
you are a dllettante sort of fisher
man, and no mistake.
"A person who thinks he isn't do
ing right by himself if he fishes for
black bass any other way than with
the fly ought to know that there is
fly fishing | never knew of but two
kinds before l tried the Michigan
method, and l have used this third
one with great pleasure and profit in
many eastern waters where the con
ditions were similar to those in the
Saginaw and where no one had ever
succeeded in taking any bass to speak
of by the regulation methods. Ihad
rather make nice catch by sinking
my flies, even at the expense of being
looked upon as a coarse fisherman,
than to dawdle them all day on the
surface and never get rise. "-Ne,c

amount of work every twelvemonth, has
way of her own to accomplish 1t. Early
in May she starts on her summer jaunt,
one year up in Maine, another in Colo

she elects. The three months till the LIST
of August are spent in the pursuit most
dear to her heart-bird watching-and by
that time her notebook is full and her
stock of bird lore much added to and vivi-
fed. Then she returns to the deserted
city, and in her pleasant Brooklyn home
works diligently until October. Practi-
cally, then her desk work is finished. Her
lectures and talks are written and ar
ranged, her articles for print are prepared,
and the winter season finds her ready for
its varied occupations free from pen thral-

Household Notes.


well known aesthetic recently advised
women never to pass mirror without
looking into it, and obscrvant persons
perceive the wisdom of this injunction.
When one is shopping, for instance, full
length mirrors are frequently encountered,
and u passing glance is sufficient to reveal
the disordcrcd veil or hat, the strip of
braid torn from the bottom of the gown,
the bow or llounce awry or any other de-
feet in the toilet, and it is then an easy
matter TO remedy the shortcoming, which,
If neglected. would stamp one as lacking
in proper regard for tidincss. Therefore
the modern woman glanccs into every
mirror as she hurries along and takes Il
furtive peep now and then into the jewel
ed glass suspended at her belt, caring not
one whit if some of her friends deem it a
vanity as long us she is thus treasured of
her neat and trim appearance.
