THREE MINUTES INAFLYwHEEI
Remarkable Escape of "A Hoston WORK man
From Terrible Death.

From the Boston Globe.
Were 1t for his GOODNESS and presence
of mind Joseph Woods of Cambridge
would have been dead and buried by to-
day. His miraculous escape occurred last
Thursday afternoon.
Woods is in the employ of the Boston
Woven Hose company. at the corner OF
Portland and Hampshire streets, Cam
bridge He is an electrician. Thursday
afternoon, about $50, the halls i'm the
factory were extremely dark. The en-
ployes are dismissed about o'clock, so,
in order to avert accident, the electrician
was ordered to turn on the electric lights.
He did so. Woods and an other electri-
clan were working about the fly wheel
I'm the basement of the building. where
the plant is located. Woods was obliged
to get inside the huge wheel for the pur-
pose of examining some mechanism, and
was in this posture when the lights
were turned on and the wheel began re-
volvng. Woods realized his danger and
grasped the sides of the wheel with both
hands. and also wound his legs around it.
There were a half dozen men in the vi
cnity of the wheel at the time. and they
stood appalled, while their fellow en-
ploye went around. At each revolution
Woods was immersed i'm water. One of
the witnesses FASTENED upstairs to noti-
fy the superintendent, and the machin-
cry was stopped but not before the
wheel had been running three minutes
and had made from 20 to 100 revolutions a
minute. When IL had been stopped Woods
stepped out of his perilous position and
stood up. Notwithstanding the fact that
he had escaped death. all present thought
that he must have sustained either eX-
ternal or internal injuries which would
result fatally. Again they were disap-
pointed. He did not even bear scratch
and to-day he is working as though he
had never been the victim of such n
thrilling experience. Woods is So years
old

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON.
How sammy Proposed TO Entertain the
MInister when lie Called.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
Sammie is a bright little fellow about
years old, whose parents are very
poor people living i'm the west end. He
is a regular attendant at Sunday
school AS occasionally happens, his
mother is not able to make him pre-
sentable on account of his threadbare
clothes and excess of patches. But he
is, or was, a pupil in good standing,
and IL is not uncommon for members
of the congregation, who know him and
admire his quick wit and ready under
standing, to pat him on the head and
make remark something like Sam
mic is a real nice boy and so unlike his
father" From which il is readily in
ferred that his father is not at all pop
ular. The latter is a shiftless sort of
fellow who seems TO have but one OBJ
1ect in life-the consumption of the
entire whiskey and beer output. and II
is hardly necessary to say that he has
made an ignominious failure at his
chosen undertaking. Sammie's mother
Is good woman, however, and well
respected. and the ever present con-
trasts of intents and purposes in the
household keep the boys impressible
mind I'm a constant state of vacilla-
ton So when the minister called at
Sammie's home the other day the lat
ter thought IL his duty. as one of the
flock, to make his visit agreeable. His
idea of hospitality. however, got en-
tangled with his fathers methods of
entertaining his friends which. from
an ethical standpoint might be subject
To severe criticism. Pushing a chair
from the middle of the floor toward the
kitchen table, he climbed up. and pro-
curing a small tin bucket, strobe into
the minister's presence and eX-
claimed:
Lets chip i'm and get a bucket of
beer"

TROUSERS MADE OF TIN.
Ipgenious Costume of "A sailor Who Was
Caught Smuggling Hum.

IpgenIous Costume of "A sailor Who YVES
Caught Smuggling Kun.
Z From the New York World.
You would be surprised at the
amount OF smuggling that IS done bv
the screws of sailing vessels said one
of the customs inspectors over on the
Brooklyn docks. Many rich cargoes
come i'm here from India. South Amerf-
ca and the West Indies. and the temp
tation to smuggle is too strong for the
average sailor to resist. There is some
thing fascinating about smuggling.
which is the only way l can account
for the fact that many an otherwise
honest man doesn't scruple to defraud
the government whenever he gets n
chance. Among sailors this feeling Is
almost universal. Indeed. they seem
to think that their calling gives them
the privilege of bringing in a few
things on every trip. and they are apt
TO make it very uncomfortable for the
officer who attempts TO enforce the law.
The articles they smuggle consist most
ly of liquors. cigars. fine silks and such
delicacies as preserved ginger. curacao,
etc.
But let me tell you how 1 discovered
one of the most ingenious schemes for
smuggling that was ever devised |
was i'm the habit of visiting a little old
fashioned saloon, and one day the pro-
prietor asked me If / would sample
some of his rum. 1t was fine old De-
marara. j began to wonder where he
got IL, for he didn't keep it in stock all
the time. Then I noticed that he got i'm
a fresh supply every time a certain
ship arrived.
II thought I saw good chance for
a seizure, and kept a close watch on
the saloon the next time the vessel
came in. l hung around the place all
night, but not sign of smuggling
could / see. There was no doubt,
though. that IL had taken place. for the
next day the saloon keeper was treat
ing all hands TO rum. The only sus-
picious thing / saw was that one of the
sailors made frequent trips from the
ship TO the saloon. l was morally GER
tain that he was doing the smuggling,
but how he did il was a mystery, for
never saw him carrying anything
''One day, when he was returning to
the ship, drew him into conversation.
He had been sampling some of his own
rum, and began skylarking. At last
he made a kick at me. and / playfully
hit him on the leg with my walking
cane. There was sharp metallic
sound as the blow fell. The mans face
and he sobered up i'm a mo-
ment. 1t was plain enough to me then, |
and | knew that the wide trousers the |
man wore meant more than a mere pc !
of dress. There was no legal |
against the man. as no rum |
was found i'm the ship. but I made him |
show me the contrivance. 1t was prac- |
tically a pair of hollow tin trousers Of |
the most ingenious design. by which he |
could carry gallons of liquor with little |
fear of detection. He never attempted |
to work the scheme again, and some |
time afterward he told me that he had |
sold the contrivance for a good sum to |
a smuggler who piled his calling on the |
Canadian border line

ONCE A COOK. NOW PREMIER
Austrian Statesman Who Was Reared
Among Pots and Kettles.


From Parsons Weekly
The son of cook is now premier of
Austria. His name is Cassimir Felix
Badeni. and thus far in life he has
basked i'm the sunshine of fortune S
smile. His luck began two years be-
fore he was born. when his father.
who had been n very good cook, was
created a count. The title was at the
time an empty honor. for the distin-
guished chef had so little money that
ne could not live with tho necessary
dignity. For a time il looked as though
his two sons would be compelled to toll
for a living. but luck again came To
their rescue. Their mothers brother,
Count Mier. had married the famous
German actress, Anna Wierer, and this
childless lady became so attached to
the two Badeni boys that she be-
queathed TO them her entire fortune.
Thus relieved of the necessity of earn
ing a competence by their own efforts.
Count Radeni procured an excellent
was graduated as doctor Of
philosophy and entered the Austrian
civil service. lie was genial in man
ner. had a great deal OF money TO
spend and was not avorse TO spending
IL. and he soon made himself the most
popular Pole at the court of Vienna.
In 1871 he became district chief OF Zol-
KEW and two years later entered the
ministry OF the interior. In 1SSS he
was made governor of Galicia. an Office
ne held until he was recently appoint
ed prime minister Of Austria by En-
perer Franz Joseph. He is said To be
worth about 81 SOC. 600. but his younger
brother. who has succeeded him as
governor Of Galicia. has been more
I'm his expenditure. and is
credited with being the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of considerably over $1,000 GOO.

Altoough Possessing Over Forty Pairs Of
shoes She Couldn't Weax One.
Of all Queen Victoria's daughters
there Is not one who Is mono fastidious
in her dress than Is Princess Louise,
marchinness of Lorne. who celebrated
her silver wedding the other day. She
Is especially particular ON the subject
OF her shoes. being the only one of the
British princesses to possess pretty
foot The other day the princess had
donned toilet in order to attend some
species of state function. but at the last
moment was dismayed to find that the
shoes which she considered to be an in
dispensable adjunct to the dress were
not ready and had not been sent home
to Kensington palace.
Her husband, the marquis appeared
upon the scene just at this moment, and,
seeing the disccnsolate look on his
wife's face, suggested that she should
make the best of bad job and wear
some other pair of shoes Acting ON this
suggestion, her maids brought out one
pair of shoes after another for the ap-
proval of their royal mistress until there
were no less than IA pairs of boots and
shoes OF various descriptions set out in
rows around her. Still the princess was
not satisfied. and in her annoyance she
exclaimed, "a queens daughter. and
not pair Of shoes to wear!''
The humor of the situation struck the
marquis, who, stupid as he is in other
respects. is very clever and quick with
pencil and brush. He drew O rapid
sketch of the princess sitting, unhappy
and forlorn, surrounded by q serried ar
my Of failures in leather and silk and
wrote underneath, "a queens daugh-
