Nellie Thomas Original Way of Doing
Penance for Her Wavwardness.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, July ga we'll
dressed lady applied at the Cincinnati
hospital for admission yesterday after
noon. She presented a letter from the
mother superior of the convent where
the young lady had resided. The letter
said the bearer, Miss Nellie Thomas,
had been employed at the convent
some time and was suffering from
swollen legs and feet. Nothing except
the symptoms referred to in the letter
was found on the preliminary exami-
nation, but later it was decided to
lance the feet, when it was found the
limbs and feet were imbedded with
pins and needles. Forty-one needles
were extracted from her body, and
she was not able till to-day to endure
further operations, when ten more
were distracted, and it is thought 9TH
ers will be found. The physicians
fear blood poisoning will set in and
that the case, in any event, may prove
hopeless. The girl protested till after
the operations that she could not tell
how her feet and limbs became imbed-
ded with these needles, but finally she
said she had been at the convent of the
Good Shepherd for several years. She
was an orphan and alone in the world.
During her stay there she had gone
wrong; not once, but persistently. She
had done that which she knew was not
right, and for every sin she had COM
mitted she had done penance by thrust
ing needle into one of her legs. She
explained that each operation had
caused her agonizing pain, and that at
times the operations were almost I'M
bearable, but she felt she must bear
the pain as a recompense for the sin
committed.

An~Airship.

A. j. Cooley, an inventor, of Hornells-
vile. n. Y, says he has successfully
completed an air ship which will carry
one person. 1t Is about ten feet in
length, with two pairs of wings, each
pair having a spread Of twelve feet
Placed between the two pairs Of wings
is large hollow box, on one end Of
which the pilot-house for the occupant
will be built. The front pair of wings
is stationary. Mr.. Cooley's idea is that
his machine will sail like hawk or an
albatross that has been thrown on the
air. Having been once stretched, it will
skim along on certain plane, and may
be either raised, lowered or turned en-
tirely around by the movement Of the
rear pair of wind beaters. A public
demonstration Of the invention will
soon be given, after which it will be
placed on exhibition to raise money
enough to build larger machine.

might leak, both between funnel and
cork and between cork and bottle.
Half fill the bottle with water and
throw in two powders that are used to
make settler water, tartaric acid and
bicarbonate Of soda, which may be
bought at drug store ready for use.
Effervescence will at once take place,
throwing off carbonic acid gas, and
this will escape through the funnel.
But If you have placed within the
funnel two or three little balls of
elder pith, or even of cork, the gas can
not escape except at intervals, for as
one ball is lifted from the orifice an
other will drop down to close it. By
painting these balls in different colors
you may produce pretty effect.
The effect may be made more beauti-
full by cutting tissue paper in the form
Of butterfy's wings and gluing them
to one of the balls. The balls will
dance up and down in the funnel and
the imitation butterfly will flutter as

Mr.. Haggard stood for election in East
Norfolk and his canvass was attended
with various lively and exciting Incl
dents which perhaps may serve him as
the warp If not the wool for some flu
ture romance of real life, since they fail
ed to serve his political purposes. He
saved his head from being broken by
some Of his belligerent opponents in
the canvass only to have it badly frac-
tured in a political sense when they
got at him at the polls.
If this sudden and calamitous ending
to his political aspirations has the re-
suit Of turning Mr.. Haggard's energies
into literary channels again the reading
public may gain more by his defeat
than the House of Commons lost. Mr..
Haggard has not been much in evil
dence lately in a literary sense, but the
qualities manifested in the production
of such remarkable stories as King

Justify the belief that we have not
heard the last of this versatile and
powerful writer. Mr.. Haggard is still
a young man, only 80 last March, and is
therefore good for many more years
of work, as life usually goes. 1t is
worth noting in this connection that
Mr.. Haggard's first book was of a po-
litical character. 1t related to events
In South Africa and appeared in 1882.
1t had no better success than the writer
himself has had in politics recently.

Where Is the Blarney stone9

Within a few miles of Cork there
stands, in the midst of beautiful groves,
the ruined castle of Barney. When
the castle was besieged by Lord Carew
in 1902, Cormac Mccarthy, the Irish
chieftain who held it, promised to give
it up to the English general, but al
ways put him off by soft speeches, un-
til Carew became the laughing stock
of Queen Elizabeth's ministers. Hence
arose, so 1t Is said, the common phrase,
"None Of your Barney" There was a
stone in the wall of the north angle Of
the castle, several feet from the top,
which whose should kiss became forth
with gifted with great eloquence. 1t
was not easy to kiss stone in such a
position, but the feat was usually ac-
complished by the performer of it get

One Fierce, the other Lazy.

Though the lynx is one Of the cats,
1t has certain un-cat-like points. It's
tail Is shorter, its ears are longer and
graced at the ends with tuft Of hair,
and 1t has whiskers as well as the
mustache that ornaments the mouth
Of the cat. The lynx. of Europe is a
savage creature, leaping upon its prey
with sure aim, and doing great dam
age among the fiocks and herds Of the
countries where 1t is yet found. In
a wild Estate, the American differs from
the European lynx in being much lazier
and less ferocious; therefore it will live
longer, for the latter has no friends,
and Is gradually retreating before the
advance of civilization.

The history OF labor strikes, II fully
written, would contain some odd Incl
dents. None could be more so, per-
haps, than the story of a recent strike
in Omaha among the brewery work
men.
An agreement had been made be-
tween the brewers and their employees
which was acceptable In every point
but one, and upon this one point they
held out. 1t had been provided that beer
should be furnished the workmen to
drink without charge at nine, eleven,
two, three, four and six o'clock, but
the men insisted upon having 1t free
at every hour of the day! Here is OPP
preston Of labor by capital with ven
geance!
In point Of fact, there are no two
things more at odds than efficient labor
and excessive drinking. About thou
sand million dollars year are spent
In this country for liquors, wines and
ales. The proportion of this enormous
sum that comes from the pockets of
the working people Of small means Is
quite out of proportion to their num-
Der.
The loss Is not only direct, but indi-
rect. Incidence and incapacity always
follow in the train Of excess. A man
ufacturer has lately been quoted as
saying that he had many men in his
employ to whom he used to pay five
dollars day, but who could now with
difficulty earn dollar and n quarter;
and that solely because they would
drink. And the circumstance Is not ex-
ceptional, but typical.
Waste and idleness are Of the near
est kin to vice and excess.

Peace or War.

In the olden days, when the spear
was used as weapon Of war, men had
to be very careful how they carried it.
If they were in a strange country and
bore their spears with the point for
wards, it was supposed that they were
bent on mischief, and was regarded as
a declaration Of war. If, on the other
hand, they carried the spears on their
shoulders, with the point backwards,
their visit was taken as a visit of
friendship, and there was no disturb
ance of the peace
