The following remarkable account Of
the extraction of a needle from the
body by means of magnet is given by
Cosmos:
"A young laumdress thrust broken
needle into her right hand while wash.
ing clothes. The needle having disap-
peared IN the flesh, the surgeon who
was consulted several days after the ac-
cident refused to perform an operation,
fearing lest he should be obliged tomake
a large number Of missions among the
ligaments Of the articulation Two
months afterward the girl lost the use
of her right hand, and the least move
ment Of the fingers caused her exquisite
pain. Drs. Gorinewsli and Cerestin
then determined TO extract the needle
with the aid of magnet, drawing it
into a heshy region where AN incision
could be made without danger To
cause this movement they chose a very
feeble electro magnet, but difficulty
arose. The needle having entered point
first, it would have TO be drawn out
backward, the broken part in advance.
The first trial lasted two hours.
with short intervals of rest, without
appreciate results. Before the third
trial the girl said that she felt prick
ing IN the palm OF the hand near tho
place where the magnet had been app
piled and where the needle ought to ap-
pear At the ninth sitting finally the
needle appeared beneath the skin and
came out whole, broken end first, with
out pain ana without loss OF blood. 1t
fixed itself to the pole of the electro
magnet, and the young laundress was
cured. This result-the drawing of
needle through the fesh--is very re-
markablc. In 20 hours after the first
trial this needle was extracted from the
inside of the hand, after lying there
more than two months "--Translation

Costly EtiuuStte.

The latest pamphlet published by the
commission Of historical manuscripts IN
London contains the following interest.
ing and curious travesty on etiquette:
1.-THE Duke and Duchess of Norfolk,
having been summoned to appear before
the hoLSe of lords in 1892 in order TO
plead their suit for divorce, it was de.
bated whether the lord chancellor, sit.
ting as chairman, should lower his dig.
nifty by bowling to the duchess and speak.
ing to her only with his cap in his hand.
This question was argued for several
days in the house of lords until debate
exhausted itself and several duels result.
I'D. At length it was decided that the
lord chancellor should first receive the
bows of the duke and duchess and re-.
turn them with uncovered head and aft.
Ct that he should replace his cap. " This
rule was followed to the letter and il
still adhered to today when similar con.
tingencies arise.

Coming to Mondeyille's exposition Of

he says, we should inquire into the
nature of the disease, examining care,
fully and feeling, because the diagnosis
is made by touching with the hand ana
observing with the eye. All the consult
ants engage in turn in the examination.
Then, If the cass demands it, they make
a new examination all together, point,

disease and the special or remarkable
features either in the patient or the dis
ease. Ihen one Of them, the highest in
rank, says to the patient Sir, we per.

The Contest as Viewed by a Spectator at

The movements of the eombatants are
SO rapid in battle that it is difficult to
follow them through all of their eyolu-
tions, but the plan of battle seems to DO
very simple, says The Chautauquan
Two bees from the hive are sent to kill
one intruder, and the latter always tries
to force an entrance, even at the risk ct
its life Once inside, it makes room for
others of its companions to enter and
then, gathering up its abdomen in as
small a space as possible, it assumes the

upon it and collaring it fiercely they
seek to find vulnerable point between
the rings Of its body to sting it to death.
The attacking bee Just as determinedly
struggles to cover every unprotected
spot II sufficient time can be gained
and the attacking swarm is large enough
to force an entrance the badly lnauled
bees that have not been stung to death
will suddenly assume the offensive ard
pursue the tactics Of their enemies. The
contortions and eyalutions Of the vari-
Gus fighters are interesting to the OBJ
server.
Should the battle go against the at

flies away to seek safety, and the dead
carcasses Of their companions are thrown
contemptuously out of the hive
But i'll the event of an opposite ter
mination of the struggle the poor in
haBitants are slaughtered. When their
fate has been practically decided, many
of them turn traitors to their cause,
and in order to save their own lives
they join the forces of the attacking
party and display great yigor in killing
their former companions. But there 5
honest patriotism even among bees In

the last and prolong tAe struggle for

If your pocketbeek allows or fate or

you to remain i'll England, there are
parts where you can ride on your wheel
with great satisfaction and at great ex-
pense. Nothing could be more beautiful
than the midlands, loyelier than the
counties that surround London, but
westward go no farther than Bristol or
Truro, northward than Chester, avoid
ing Manchester-that is, unless you
mean to go still farther north into Scot
land, which at times will repay your
enterprise The southwest IS largely to
be avoided Cornwall and Devon have
the worst roads in civilized Europe-in
fact, the roads and inns explain that
the country is not and never has been
civilized. In the inns you are often
treated as an intruder, and sometimes
cheated in fashion that would bring
a blush to the cheek of Swiss landlord,
for the emptiness of the larder the bill
makes up in layishness. There is hard
~ anything to eat save cream, but for
that and salt bacon and ancient eggs
you are asked to pay as much as for
good dinner at the Cafe Royal. The inn
keepers are mainly Doors.
AS for the roads, they go straight to
the top of all the hills, as uneompro-
misingly as the roads Of Bohemia, then
drop down the other side and are unrid.
able in both directions When not
climbing precipitately, they lie buried
at the bottom of ditch. They are

yet we know Englishmen who are pro
foundly impressed with the belief that
they are the hest in England. and there

Briton spends his holiday on the cont.
