FROM the baltimore American
Michael Bocchino last night celebrated
his recovery from serious illness twenty
eight years ago. He made VOW to the
Virgin Mary to observe August % of each
year as a holiday if he recovered from his
illness. Upon the altar which he had
erected near his home, 9Th and Bank
streets, Highlandtown, he therefore cele-
brated the feast of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel. A large crowd of people was pres
ent to witness the event. They saw the
statue of the Virgin taken from the altar
by girl robed in white. and then carried
at the head of a procession through the
streets of the suburb. The line was form
ed with two boys carrying banners at the
head. then a band, and finally a large
number of children. The statue was re-
placed when the procession returned to
the starting point. After that display of
fireworks was made, sheep was ratified
off at % cents a chance, and the festivities
were at an end.

Seeming the Body.

From Pearsons Weekly.
This is howMan Arab lady perfumes her
self: In the floor of the tent or hut, as 1t
may chance TO be, a small hole is exca-
waited. sufficientlytlarge to contain a COM
mon champagne Bottle. A fire of charcoal,
or of simply glowing embers, is made with
in the hole. into which the woman about to
be scented throws a handful of drugs. She
then takes off the CLOTH or 'topa," which
forms her dress, and crouches over the
fumes, while she arranges her robe to fall
as mantle from her neck to the ground,
like tent.
She now begins to perspire freely in the
hot-air bath. and. the pores of the skin be-
ing thus opened and moist, the volatile oil
from the smoke of the burning perfumes
is Immediately absorbed. By the time the
fire has expired the scenting process is
completed, and both her person and robe
are redolent with incense with which they
are thoroughly fmpregnated that I have
frequently smelt party of women strong
ly at fully hundred yards distance. when
the wind has been blowing from that d.
recti0n.

Flagsed just In Time by a Red Cow.

FIom the Philaaiphla Times,
Engineer Kirkuaan, who came in on the
east bound train last night reports an in
teresting occurrence. AS he was running
along at full speed, Kirkman says, his at
tention was attracted by a cow, which
seemed to be coming straight down the
track to meet the train He put his hand
on the valve and puffed out three sharp
whistles. Still the COW came on, believing
at every step and acting altogether in an
unusual MANNER.
AS much from curiosity as anything else,
kirkman al length slowed up and sent the
fireman on ahead to see what was the mat
ter with the COW. No sooner did the cow
see that the speed was s!ackened. and that
the fireman was going to investigate, than
she turned and ran straight back down the
track. stopping now and then. looking over
her shoulder and switching her tail, as
much as to say, Come on"
The man followed. and by and by saw
the COW stop short at high trestle. Going
up he discovered another COW. which had
fallen and got herself fastened in the Tres
tleWork squarely across the rail. 1t took
only few minutes to release the animal,
and the two friends, after plainly showing
their gratitude, lost no time in scampering
away out of danger
