MINcE pie is good old New England
delicacy, but it has its danger line,
just as have other New England prod
ucts, like hard cider. Capt. Archibald
Hill, of the Salvation Army at Ellens-
vile, n. Y, has confessed to forgery,
and lays all his sins to his appetite for
mince pie. He was not satisfied with
pawning his clothes to get mince pie,
but forged check for 81, 900 to appease
his appetite.

Mabel DilIingham.

Miss Mabel Dillingham;, who died at
her post of onerous duty in Calhoun,
Ala, very recently, did as heroic and
undoubtedly more efficient service than
if she had undertaken mission work in
the heart of Africa. She was at the time
of her death principal of the Calhoun
oolored school. Her novitiate in this
sort of teaching was served in the Hamp-
ton institute. Only those who know
from some sort of experience can under
stand what is the life of a refined wom-
an who undertakes such educational
work. Patience, heroism and entire self
abnegatior are merely the beginning of
the list of virtues needed. So arduous
and exactirg is the work that it finds
few to enter it, and those who do, and
who fall, as Miss Dillingham; did, while
doing it, deserve the widest recognition
and appreciation. New York Times.

Extracting Teeth by Electricity.

Trials have been made at London
with new apparatus for the extraction
of teeth by electricity. 1t consists of an
induction coil of extremely fine wire,
having an interrupter that can vibrate
at the rate of 400 times a second. The
patient sits in the traditional armchair
and takes the negative electrode in his
left hand and the positive in the right.
At this moment the operator turns on<a
current whose intensity is gradually in
creased till it has attained the utmost
limit the patient can support. The ex-
tractor is then put in circuit and fas-
tened ON the tooth, which, under the &C
tion of the vibration, is loosened at
once. The operation is performed very
quickly, and the patient feels no other
sensation than the pricking produced in
the hands and forearms by the current

Shasta. There ne has learned the habits
of the numerous wild animals to be
found in that region and knows how 20
hunt and trap them with the skill of N
old border trapper.
With his rife slung over his shout der
and accompanied by his dog She &
magnificent type of the Scotch co e,
which has been his companion in Q ~
exploit, he roams the hills from m m
ing till night bringing down any game
that crosses his path.
Last summer was his banner season,
however, and three fine pairs of anJlers
now adorn his room as evidence of his
prowess. To bag all three he fired only
four shots, one of which missed it's mark
by very small margin.
In the early part of September, while
hunting with his father fine buck
was sighted when about L so yards away.
The country was too open to allow them
to creep up any nearer, so, resting his
gun on fallen log, the little lad drew
a fine bead on the unsuspecting deer
and fred. The animal made three quick
bounds and tumbled in a heap. The
young hunter did not betray a trace of
chuck ague" over his splendid shot,
and his only comment on the perform
ance was, 81 thought you said that gun
wouldn't kick. -
When Leslie was 6 years old, he took
his fathers place in competitive shoot
ing match at a long range target in
Quincy, Plumas county. Mr.. HALEY
was debarred on account of his reputa-
ton as a crackerjack.
Many of those who were entered were
skilled marksmen. None of them paid
any attention to their childish rival ex-
cept to laugh at the absurdity of such
small bit of humanity entering a shoot
ing match.
But when the game commenced they
found a surprise in store for them. The
little chap, with the sang froid worthy
of a successful champion, took his turn
at the butts, and with a regularity that
fairly astounded the large gathering of
spectators and took the breath away
from his rivals planted shot after shot
in the center of the target.
At the conclusion of the match he
had a tie with one Of them and on the
shootoff made another bullseye and won
the trophy.
But withal he is modest and retiring,
preferring the backwoods with his gun
and dog to the sports of the city bred
children. San Francisco Examiner.

Fresh Air For Children.

An interesting test, which proved
that fresh air in winter was beneficial
to even young and delicate children, was
reported in The Journal of Household
Economics. It was tried recently in a
babies hospital in Boston.
All the sickly babies that were suffer
ing from chronic indigestion and lack
of nutriment, and who would not i'm
prove in spite of good food, perfectly
ventilated rooms and careful bathing,
were wrapped as for the street, put in
perambulators and taken to the top
ward of the hospital, where all the win
dows were wide open. They were kept
in this room from two to four hours
daily and soon showed a marked i'm
provement Their cheeks became rosy,
they gained in weight and appetite and
would often fall asleep and remain so
during the entire time they were in the
air Very delicate children had bags of
hot water placed at their feet. It is re-
corded in the account of this experiment
that not one child took cold as a result
of it.

One of the most original papers yet

passed through, or are passing through,
three distinct stages; the first is the Gull
ture class, merely descriptive and histor-

"In the second stage, the class has
passed beyond the historical to the phil

should belong, the Western Serosis.
"The third stage of club life is as
broad as the seas and continents in which
all advanced clubs join hands for national
and even world wide benefcence; for

of cooperation and halls the federation
of clubs as another Indication that the
morning cometh that the long night of
ignorance Is passing away before the
sunrise of united intelligence and spirit

Speaking of the kind of papers that
should be read before the Western SOross

"The papers should not be historical
nor purely descriptive, for we all have
