A NAIL IN HER BRAIN.

Kansas Furnishes What Is Said to DO the
Most Remarkable Case on Record.
For six weeks Mrs. Frank Roadson of
Abilene lived with a sixpenny nail in her
skull. Remarkable as this story may
seem, it is nevertheless true, and Mrs.
Roadson, who is in her fifty-ninth year,
will recover from this terrible ordeal.
About eight weeks ago physician was
called TO see her, she being apparently
suffering from paralysis or 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 a sore spot was discovered
with the head of nail imbedded there
in upon the very crown Of her head. An
operation was performed, and to the
surprise of the physicians present six
penny nail 2 inches long was removed.
It 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 thC
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 a stone, for the
express purpose Of ending her life. Ply
Sicians say this is the most remarkable
case on record.-Topeka Special to st
Louis Republic.

EXHIBITS HIS HEART.
This Is What the Subject of n Pecul
Surgical Operation Does.

This 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 q peculiar experience.
Recently he called on professor in the
College Of Physicians and Surgeons, who
explained to a reporter yesterday the con-
dition of his visitor as follows:
"The man had a disease Of the chest
some time ago and was operated upon by
a 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
covering Of skin over the heart, otherwise
the man could not have survived, but tho
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 1t was an extraordinary case
and was worthy Of beng made the sub
ject Of medical treatise. He under
stood that the man was travelling about
the country exhibiting himself to physi-
clans for a small consideration.
"He came to me-" he added, land
examined him and gave linn a small
sum. he then went away, and ] do not
know where he is now"
Another physician said that the hole
was about 8 inches 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,

A BRAVE WOMAN.
How She Rescued Her Husband From tlis
Vengeance OF Puma.

Vengeance OF q Puma
Jahez English, sheep herder Of this
heighbofhood, was engaged in building
q cabin home, his former one having
been destroyed by ere q week OF two
ago, and was busily at work on its roof
when he saw an animal steal out of the
woods hard by and fling itself upon the
pail containing his dinner Of cold boiled
bacon and bread.
He recognized this animal as a puma,
OF mountain lion, but thinking he might
frighten it away threw his plane at it.
The tool struck the anilual on the head,
cutting It badly and rendering the crea-
ture furious. IL rushed at tho structure
on the peak Of which the herder sat and
tried to leap up to hin. But this was
not to be done. and after several at
tempts tho lion abandoned il and pro-
ceeded to patrol the spot. growing furi-
ously and showing its teeth.
Tho man, havingno weapon and being
out of reach of any one to whom he might
call, could only sit still and wait for the
puma to become tired Of the watch or
for deliverance. Night at last came on,
and still he did not dare venture to quit
his perch, though it was so cold that he
feared that he would freeze before morn
ing. In the meantime his wife, who was
in Santa Anna, little mountain hamlet
Of the valley, grew uneasy about him,
and with lantern started to look for
him. It was too dark for English to see
her, but the lion did, and made for her
with a scream Of rage.
AS the great beast came leaping at her
out of the darkness she dashed the Ian
tern full in its face. The puma, startled,
gave way, and English, guessing who the
newcomer was, shouted TO her to run
back to the village. She turned to do so,
but the puma was after her. and she was
obliged to wheel about every few feet
and shake the lantern in its face again.
The animal would recoil at this, and each
time gave her a few moments to run on,
In this way she mado her way to Santa
! Anna, screaming as she neared it, "a
lioEl lionl" until some of the men Of
the village. hearing her, armed them
selves and came out in time to see the
/ lion break away to run back. They pur
sued him and killed him and then wen
on for the half frozen herder. His wife
bright eyed, chatty little Mexican WON
an, claimed the skin Of the puma, saying
that it was rightly hers, as she alone haC
brought the lion into the village, and i
was presented to her for the new homt
in the valley. ey.-Tombstone( GA. IT, Especial

Cayuga Lake, From Watch No Drowned
Person WAS Ever Recovered.
"If they succeed IN recovering the
bodies of Instructor Merriam and Miss
Yeargin from the depths of Cayuga lake
by meanso of electricity. ns 1 see they in
tend to try to do" said gentleman who
grew up on tthe shores of Cayuga lake,
cit will be the first tine in the history
Of the lake that the bGiy Of any person
drowned in its waters was ever seen
again. Ialways had a liking for geolog-
ical research and indulged it for many
years in investigating the bottom Of Cay
uga lake.
"Afy experiments satisfied me that the
bottom of the lake is a series of large
openings and cavities, many of them
craterlilge. Some Of these are 100 feet IN
diameter. These craters, as / believe
them to be, lie at different depths, or,
rather, their raised edges are Of different
heights. Their depths are fathomlesss
They have undoubtedly become the re-
eeptacles of the bodies Of the hundreds
of people who are known to have been
drowned in the lake since that country
was settled and of the undoubted thou~
sands Of people killed in the fierce bat
ties that were frequently waged on the
shores of the lake between hostile tribes
/ of aboriginal warriors during the CEN
turies preceding the coming Of the white
man.
"It was in Cayuga lake that the fena
ish murderer Ruloff lowered the bodies
of his wife and child, so years ago, after
he had murdered them. The bodies were
inclosed IN a chest, as he confessed be-
fore he was hanged at Binghamton for
another murder. The weeks that were
spent in dragging the lake for this chest
were simply wasted, for it was sunk into
the mouth of one of those bottomless
openings, and, if it is not sinking yet, is
still floating about in those mysterious
depths.
"Within half n century more than 100
persons have been drowned in Cayuga
lake. to recover the bodies Of whom ths
graphing iron and drag were used in
dustriously, but in vain. If it were pos
sible for one to make the rounds of this
lakes craterlike bed, he would. without
doubt, encounter hideous charnel houses
beyond number-caverns where hosts Of
grinning skeletons have fonnd sepuieher,
submarine catacombs without end Per.
haps the electricians exploring the lake
bottom with their intense lights. as they
purpose doing, may make some such dis
coveries. Rochester Post-Expreas.

Farmers Who Say That tt Pays Them TO
Feed wheat to Their Cows.
Philadelphia milk consumers may
probably be interested in an experiment
of the farmers Of the SchuyllKill valley,
whence that city receives large quantities
of its milk. Recently increased ship
ments of milk have been made Wheat,
in round figures, sells at less than 65
cents, and owing to its low price many
farmers are chopping theirs and feeding
It to cattle. They say that bran is a
cent pound, corn nearly cent a pound,
oats a cent pound, and wheat cent a
pound, and that, as wheat has at least
one-third more milk producing qualities,
it is cheaper at present prices to feed it
than corn or anything else.
BY actual test it was learned that GO
pounds Of wheat make more milk and OF
better quality than the same quantity OF
corn, or almost any other class of feed
and it is stated that since Schuylhll val
ley shippers are feeding wheat TO theii
cows their milk is pronounced Of ahighei
standard Of excellence. Farmers say that
they cannot afford TO raise wheat foi
hourmaking purposes unless they get o.
cents to 81 q bushel. Reading Cor. Phil

hIMETALLIsM IN ENGLAND.
Lord salisbury's Recent Speech and What
1t Is Thought to Forecast.

Lord Salisbury's Recent Speech and what
It Is Thought to Forecast.
Lord Salisbury's speech in the upper
house during the debate ON Indian finance
is regarded as definite pronouncement
in favor Of international bimetallism. 1t
is possibly destined TO have momentous
consequences. Sanguine bimetallists pre-
dict the early inclusion of their currency
scheme as a plank Of the orthodox Tory
platform, but that is scarcely probable
until the numerous Tory monometallists
have been converted.
The subject acquired considerable
prominence in the Accrington election
contests, but that is scarcely to be won
dered at, because Lancashire has long
been the stronghold of bimetallism.
Even the Liberal newspapers of that
county are compelled, owing to the pres
sure of local opinion, to keep an open
mind on currency matters, and somo of
them at present are giving considerable
space to the discussion of the silver prob
lem.
The Liverpool Post, an influential Lib
eral organ, gave prominence the other
day to letter advocating the adoption
by England and her dependencies and tbs
United States Of a second, or silver, in
ternational standard, without relation tC
the first, or gold. standard, "all contracts
made through gold currency being set
tied by gold currency and all contracts
made by the international dollar cur
rency being settled by the internationa
dollar currency, the latter being the sill
yer dollar divisible into 100 cents. New

The other day John Gubbins, a Portu-
guese, was held for trial by Justice
Grady az the Yorkville police court nm
der charge Of stabbing a policeman.
There Is nothing strange or peculiar
about the arrest Of a man charged with
stabbing or attempting 20 stab a police
man, but the oddity connected with
3ubbins is the fact that he Is a Portu-
gusfe.
How many Portuguese do you think
there are among the 900 O0Oinhabitants
Of New York city? Just 20. There are 20
Of them, and it is said in police circles to
be fact that Gubbins is the first Portu-
guese ever under arrest in this city. This
would be very creditable showing If
there were more than 76 Of them. Asitis,
the only wonder is that there are so few.
In the whole United States thereare 10000
Portuguese. Nine thousand eight hun
dred nnd fifty-uine of them are returned
by the last census as residents Of Cali
fornia, 3,05i as residents of Massachu-
sets, S33 as residents of Rhode Island
and 76 as residents Of New York city.
They arc a maritime people, most nu-
merous in such seaport cities as San
Francisco. Boston, Providence, New Or
leans and New Bedford, but curiously
enough almost unknown in New York,
the greatest center Of commerce in the
western hemisphere,
Emigrants from the lands of Camoens
and the Braganzas are famous as sailors
and navigators, and their descendants
are scattered in many lands, notably in
Hawaii, where the Portuguese popula-
ton is considerable, and the East Indies,
where the Portuguese colonies are nu-
] merous. New York Is q cosmopolitan
city. Men of every race and nationality
are to be found here. The total immi-
grafton to the United States through
Ellis island from Jan. /, 1893, to Dec. 10
was 233. .597, and toward this total POr-
! tugal contributedthealmo infnitesimal
total of 20 persons. The Portuguese are,
generally speaking, thrifty, hardy, in
dustrious and matter Of fact. They have
little Of the sentiment Of their Spanish
neighbors. They are law abiding and
undemonstrative, and Gubbins appears
to be backslidcr, stimulated perhaps tc
deeds of unruly violence by New Jersey
whisky or Medford rum, both poor sub
stitutes for the fine wines of the OportC
district shipped from Lisbon and famous
the world over.-New York Sun.

The Government Improving and Making
Accessible Historical Spot.
A contract has been awarded for the
erection Of a $4,000 wharf on the Poto-
mac river, near Wakefield, Westmore-
land county, Va, General George Wash
ington's birthplace, and the steamer Sue
will probably make 1t y landing place.
The house in which Washington was
born was destroyed by fire during his
boyhood, but in 1915 q stone with suit
able inscription was placed on the spot
by George Washington Parke Custis. It
was swhile living at Wakefield that Wash
ington attended the neighboring schools,
where instruction did not go further
than reading, writing and spelling with
the addition, which must have been
somewhat exceptional, of bookkeeping
and surveying.
In after years, while Washington was
surveying the vast estates of Lord Fair
fax, the birthplace was burned, and the
family moved on the Rappahannock riv-
er, near fredericksburg. The new wharf
will be built by the government as a
means Of access to the ruins Of the burned
house, and congress is TO mark the place
with a monument. A steamboat land
ing will make the historical spot, now

Mark Twain's hair has grown white
and his physique is not so stalwart as it
was a few years ago, but his mind is as
juvenile as ever. He has a hacking
cough, which, when he gives way 20 it.,
is almost conyulsiye in its tendency, but
the humorist seems entirely indifferent
to its violence. He sat in prominent
New York club a few days ago, running
spasmodically from one story to another
and commenting upon the talk Of his
companions, with perpetual smile lurk-
ing around the corners Of his mouth.
Yet at short intervals he was bent over
almost double under the violence Of his
cough. When his companions referred
oft, as they did on one or two occasions
Mr.. Clemens seemed quite unaware Of
the fact that he had been arousing good
deal Of sympathy as we'll as incessani
laughter. .-Exchange.
