A Belfast merchant lost his patience in
a ludicrous manner few days ago. He
was engaged in shovelling the snow from
the sidewalk when q snow slide from the
roof nearly buried him. He had just
cleared that away when along came an
other slide. To this he devoted his atten
ton without murmur. But when the
third slide knocked him into the gutter
and everybody in sight was laughing at
him, newell he lost his patience very
abruptly, and looked as if the meant he
said, that he could lick any man on the
street.

This Great Object In Life Of q Familiar
Figure In Philadelphia.

A familiar figure has vanished from the
streets OF Philadelphia. What has become
Of him nobody knows, but nc is seen In his
old haunts no longer. His name and his
family history are unknown to the great
number of his fellow citizens who knew
his quaint face and figure SO well. He was
ono Of the army Of imitators that -four
ished long ago, who made 1t their life study
to ape the mannerisms and the style Of
dress OF the eminent novelist Dickens.
Many years ago, when Dickens came to
this country, there wcrc any number of
men who were told by their friends that
they greatly resemblcd tho illustrious Eng
lishman. Tho old gentleman who is the
subject OF this sketch was evidently ono Of
these. He wore his hair brushed forward
about his ears and neck the beard, Ghaven
on the cheek, remained always handful
on the chin, joining tho mustache at the
corners Of the mouth. He wore the stock
and tie that Dickens affected, and he even
made 1t point to assume the keen look
which characterized the great novelist.
Now he has passed away, and he was the
last OF Dickens imitators. Philadelphia

Housekeeping In Samoa Has It's Draw
backs, According to Mrs. Stevenson.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson says that
housekeeping in Samoa was not so idyllic
as 1t might seem. Her supplies came from
New Zealand or Australia once a month,
so that If she wanted bottle Of bluing or
bag Of flour, for instance, she had to send
half across the Pacific to get it. The ma
tive diet was all well enough for few
weeks, but as 1t consisted almost solely of
fruit and fish 1t began to pail on European
palates. Housekeeping In this south sea
paradise (of romancers) had other draw
backs, particularly i'm tho matter Of ex-
pense, which was fully six or seven times
as great, Mrs. Stevenson says, as living on
corresponding scale in San Francisco.
AS for society, "thoro's moro OF it to the
square inch In Samoa than in any other
place know" says Mrs. Stevenson, but
1t appears to DO largely Of the living PIC
ture kind.-New York World.

Paradise For tho Littlc Ones.

A pretty idea, the first really novel one
we have seen, for the Paris exhibition of
1900 is that suggested by Jean Aicard, the
poet, in Le Figaro. 1t is to turn the beau
tiful garden Of the TuileriSs into a chill
dren's paradise, to arrange In 1t for them
alone little exhibition OF toys and ginger
bread and puppet shows and games of all
nations, with panoramas Of fairy tales and
galleries Of the pictures they like, and n
theater for pantomimes, and circus and
places where authors shall tell them sto-
ries. There would be days for free admis-
sion and for the distribution Of toys and
candy and flowers to poor children. There
seems to DO nothing impracticable In the
plan. 1t is, I'm fact an artistic improve
ment on the arrangement for checking bn-
bics that was successful at Chicago. New

CLEAN THROUGH HER.
A Much Travelled Needle with Thread
Attached.


Attached.
One OF the most phenomenal cases on
record took place In Ottumwa recently. IL
will be remembered that few days since
Mrs. j. c. Patton, proprlctress Of the
Woman's Exchange, was prostrated while
riding on "a street car. The physician who
was called, after a brief examination into
the case, stated that she was suffering from
an attack OF heart trouble She was taken
to her home and placed under the care Of
her regular physicians. She was unable to
speak, even I'm n whisper, and at times has
been quite weak and unable to leave her
bed.
In degree, her case puzzled the ply
sicians. She had an acute pain In the back
of her neck and along her spinal column.
The other night she retired as usual and
rested fairly well. Quite early In the morn
ing she was seized with choking gspell, and,
finding she could not recover her breath,
jumped up and ran into another room,
coughing vigorously ~ she could mean
while.
Her husband, j Z Patton, n conductor
on tho electric street railway, was by her
side In moment and just I'm time To see
her thrust her fingers inside her mouth
and draw therefrom common sewing
needle, through the eye Of which there was
a thread 81 inches In length. Immediate
ly afterward she recovered her breath, but
Is not yet able to speak. Since taking the
needle and thread from her throat she has
suffered no pain, and from all appearances
Z will soon recover.
Mrs. Patton remembers that seven weeks
ago she sat down on somo sewing work
that was lying on her chair and felt a
stinging sensation just above her left hip.
