A 10-year-old little girl had fallen into the
Tiber that day July ~ from the parapets
of the Ponte Margherita. The crowd who
witnessed the accident merely ran hither
and thither on the bridge and the banks
calling for some one to help the child--no-
body daring to do so. Two policemen
spent the time in making inquiries as to
whether sit was case Of murder or sui
eide" The child meanwhile was visibly
drowning, when a dog-a workman's mis-
cradle dog, destined to end wretched day
in the stabularia municipale Qost dogs
yard)-leaped barking into the Tiber under
the eyes of all the screaming but useless
crowd
The poor beast, accustomed to feed upon
street offal and to sleep in any shed it
could find, swan out to the little girl in
peril, caught her dress and drew her to the
shore. When he saw her in safety, the dog
jumped and bayed for JOY, licking the
child's face and hands. It aNpears they
had been friends The child had known
the dog in o mandatory at Pratt di Cas-
tello, and the poor animal wsE grateful to
her to her for some cfumbs Ca oaresses.
The crowd then tried to catsh the dog to
sec how an animal .mors brave than so
many men was made, but 1t ran through

a NAIL IN HER BRAIN.
Kansas Furnishes What Is Said to BE the
Most Remarkable Case on Record.


Most Remarkable Case on Record.
For six weeks Mrs Frank Roadson of
Abilene lived with sixpenny nail in her
skull. Remarkable as this story may
seem, it is nevertheless true, and Mrs.
Roadson, who is in her ifty-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 ef-
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 inches long was removed.
1t 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 of ending her life. Ply
sicians say this is the most remarkable
case on record.-Topeka Special to st.
Louis Republic.

A Chinese Exodus.

Prominent Cinnamon on the Pacific
coast are predicting big exodus of their
countryrnen from this continent and all
other lands to the Celestial empire within
year or two. They will go to be pres
emit at the big fair which occurs there
once i'll go years and at which every sub
ject of the great emperor tries to be pres
emit. Hundreds of thousands, maybe
millions, of Chinese from all parts of the
empire and the world will be there, says
Interpreter Pom Sc of San Francisco.
"All nations will be invited and every
body ought to go, for it will be the sight
of lifetime" The fair, he says, was
founded many centuries ago and has been
held regularly since. He is not sure of
the exact date, but it is within two years.
Great preparations are being made for it
all over the empire, and announcement
of it will soon be made to the world

There has been no subject concerning
which more lies have been told than
about giants. Until it was found that
modern men could not be squeezed into
the armor at the Tower, it was taken
for granted that we had degenerated in
size. This is not only not the case,
but in the matter of giants we have the
advantage of our predecessors. The EN-
peror Maximinian indeed was said to
have been So feet high, but ancient
mensuration, especially in the case of
an emperor, is not to be trusted; in
deed, from its not having made him
taller, it is certain that there was no
one else nearly so tall. Orestes, it is
true, we are told, was 10 feet long-aft-
err death, but he was not thought so
highly of when alive; we may reasona-
bly, take 8 feet as his ultimatum. Lon

The use of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duced new and novel industry requir-
ing workmanship of the finest charac-
ter. The stick for this purpose is re-
quired to be of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being roughly
shaped is split longitudinally from end
to end; the center of each of the halves
is then followed out, and a greater OF
less amount is removed, according to
the intended location of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length of
the spar, great care being essential to
have them follow the taper of the out
side of the spar exactly, to insure uni
form thickness at every point-of course
when this has been done and the two
halves Of the spar replaced in their
original position, circular hole is left
in the center of the spar, running near
ly the whole length, and following its
taper from end to end. After this the
two halves are fastened in place again
by means of wooden bowels, which fas
ten the split together, being placed al
ternately on either side of the central
hollow, and both bowels and split are
carefully glued. These bowels vary in
size with the size of the spar, but are
usually as long as they can be made
without piercing its outside surface.
They are placed slightly nearer the CEN
ter hollow than the outside, in order to
give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice, but in large ones metal bands on
the outside are added. New York Sun.

EXHIBITS HIS HEART.
This Is What the Subject of a Pecu1ii
Surgical Operation Does.

This Is What the Subject of 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 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 considerable hole
in his chest. There is of course some
covering of skin over the heart, otherwise
the man could not 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 70 medical men.
He said it was an extraordinary case
and was worthy Of being made the sub
ject of 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, "and l
examined him and gave him small
sum. He then went away, and do not
know where he is now"
Another physician said that the hole
was about 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.

the present condition of starvation in
German industries. Workshops which

extends to others. The Christmas sales

TO STOP THE PROGRESS
of Consumption, you will find but
one guaranteed remedy - Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
In advanced cases, it brings comfort
and relief; if you haven't delayed
too long, it will certainly cure. 1t
doesn't claim too much. 1t Won't
make new lungs-nothing can; but
it will make diseased ones sound
and healthy, when everything else
has failed.
The scrofulous affection of the
lungs that's caused Consumption,
like every other form of Scrofula,
and every blood-taint and disorder,
yields to the discovery" It is
the most effective blood cleanser,
strength restorer, and flesh builder
known to medical science. In all
Bronchial, Throat and Lung Affec-
tions, if it ever fails to benefit OF
cure, you have your money back.
