Remarkable Manifestation in q Three

AeoharhaDie manifestation in q Three
Year-Old Youngster.
Baby Rae had always been very nerv.
Gus, so nervous that on several occa-
sions, while he was getting his teeth
he frightened his parents by going into
commissions, and frequently when cry
ing lost his breath so far as to lose con.
seriousness altogether. Consequently
we were obliged to humor him more or
less to prevent his crying.
At very early age he found his
thumb, and until the day of which [
write his chief comfort lay in sucking
that unotfending member. He could
not go to sleep at night without having
his thumb in his mouth. AS he grew
older we tried to break him of the
habit, but it made him so very un-
happy that we could not bear to insist
By the age of three Rae had lost all
signs of spasms. He had always been
mothers darling" although he was
my fifth boy. At the time | write OF
the arrival of a wee sister had awakened
some sense of jealousy, and also, sup
pose, made him feel an increase of dig
nifty, as he was no longer the baby of
the family.
One morning the "big carpenter
was in the nursery repairing the hinge
of shutter. Rae stood with hand
kerchief carefully wrapped around his
second finger, sucking his thumb as
usual. and looking with wistful eyes
at the tempting display of hammer,
awl and screwdriver that lay on cloth
near the window. For moment the
thumb was taken from his mouth, and
the baby boy said very distinctly, as
he always spoke: Il want to be a car
penter," and instantly the thumb waa
replaced i'll its accustomed receptacle.
carpenters don't suck their thumbs"
remarked the big man.
For a moment Rae looked at him,
then he slowly put his two little hands
behind his back and held them tight.
His grandmother noticed the action,
and, taking advantage of the occasion,
promised to give Rae a tool chest all
his own if he would neve" suck his
thumb again. The child was very quiet
and thoughtful all day. Occasionally
he would jerk his thumb out of his
mouth and hold his right hand tight
with his left, as if determined not to
forget again that he was to be a car
penter. At bed time lie carefully put
his hands under his pillow. He was
very restless; he could not go to sleep;
he was fretful, too, aId his nurse sat
near his crib singing to him. Presently
little hand came between the bars,
and baby voice said: You hold it,
Eliza; / can't remember" 1t was mid
night before he went to sleep that night
and the next; but he never put his
thumb into ais mouth again. He
earned his little chest of tools if ever
reward was won, and a happier little
boy was never seen.
Rae is eight years old now, a fine,
manly boy, always most thoughtful of
others. He is full of life and spirits.
Ills nervousness has almost entirely
disappeared. He often shows the same
earnestness Of purpose that he dis
played so young We .eel strongly the
responsibility of leading this remark

The -sought-for device to remove
wrinkles has at last been invented by
a Philadelphia woman, who has Sc

A PRINCESS ABBESS.
High Ecclesiastical ONCE Held by an Aus
trian Archduchess.


There are in Austria five religious
foundations for ladies of the nobility,
situated in Vienna, Prague. Brunn,
Innsbruck and Graz. These establish
ments are for ihe purpose of providing
place, suitable to their rank, for ladies
without property, but members of
noble families which have done dis
tinguished service to the imperial fam
lily or the state. The Vienna institu-
tion was founded in 1869 by Duchess
Theresa, of Savoy; that in Brunn by
Emperor Leopold III. in 1892, and those
in Prague and Innsbruck in 1855 and
1765 respectively by Empress Maria
Theresa. The ladies who are received
in the Prague, Vienna and Innsbruck
foundations must be able to show 16
those in Brunn five and those in Graz
four quarterings, respectively, on their
arms. The institution in Prague is OF
the highest rank. AS its abbesses, ac-
cording to its statutes, only princesses
of the imperial family are appointed

royal highness," even if, by exception,
she who holds the office is only of noble.
not royal, blood. She has also the right
to crown the queen of Bohemia; and she
is installed by an archdul<e, as. repre-.
sentative of the emperor, with a solemn
court ceremonial.
The abbesses are not pledged to the
church and are therefore free to marry,
and it is the custom for them generally
after a short term of office to do so.
