THE HAPPY FAMILY.

in which the white cat, Dick, watches
over and cares for the rat, Monte. Dick
will sit by the hour with Monte curled
up close to him, and when the latter
shows any uneasiness Dick will wash
down Monte's white cont as his mother
in former days cared for him. Dick
seems to think Monte his charge and
has watched over him for three years.
Pete, the big black cat, is not so fond
of Monte, though he has never in any
way harmed the little fellow. He is
inclined to sniff at Dicks actions to-
ward the wee creature. For the years
that this family have lived together
they have never gotten further away
from the house than the front grass
plot, and when any strange cat puts
in an appearance there is a general
row all around. Monte runs to place
of safety and hiding, while Pete and
Dick fight off the offending visitor.
After these trays Dick seeks out Monte
and in reassuring way sleeks down
Monte's white coat and the family re-
sumes the role of happiness.

She hadn't been there more than half

the student. On Friday night DR..
Kirby called up the specialists office
and asked him to tell his young Ken
lucky patient there would be an au-
topsy at the hospital the next morning
on the body of n girl suicide. Promptly
at nine a. N. the student was at the
county hospital physicians door. To-
gether they went to the dissecting-
room. There DR.. Kirby told his vis-
itor that post-mortems were not pleas
ant things to the uninitiated, and he
jollingly added:
"Now, don't faint"
The student laughed and said he was
homor-proof. Then the attendants
brought out sheet-shrouded body and
placed it on the table. The features OF
the dead were covered. There was only
a hnlf-light in the place. The medical
student stood at the head of the covered
form. One of the attendants drew the
sheet down, disclosing the face.
DR.. Kirby heard a half-stifled eX-
clamation. He looked towards his visitor,
The students face was as white as the
doctor went towards him, but before
he could reach his side the student had
fallen to the floor insensible.
The attendants dashed water in his
face and DR.. Kirby forced brandy be-
tween his closed lips, but it was longer
than usual before consciousness came
back.
When the student came out of the
faint he passed his hand before his eyes
staggered to his feet, looked again al
the face of the dead, and cried:
my God, my sister!"
They led him from the room and in
broken words he told Dr. Kirby his
sister had left the Louisville home five
years before and from that day neither
parents, nor brothers, nor sisters ever
had heard one word from her, They
long had believed her dead.
The body of the suicide in a costly
casket was taken to the childhood hons
in Kentucky the next morning.

Needle Extracted by Magnet.

Not long since, while washing clothes,
q young laundress thrust a broken
needle into her hand. A surgeon who
was consulted few days afterward
refused to operate as the needle had
disappeared and feared the necessity of
making a number of incisions. After
two months the girl lost the use of her
right hand, n slight movement of the
fingers causing exquisite pain. A feeble
electro-magnet was then employed to
draw the needle to fleshy portion OF
the hand. Before the third trial the
girl complained of a pricking in the
palm near where the magnet had been
applied. At the ninth sitting the needle
came out broken end first and fixed It.

Horse Swallowed "A Whip.

That a stout buggy whip, 41s feet
long, could remain in horses stom-
ach nearly two years and the horse sur
vive the ordeal, seems improbable, but
just such a thing happened to a valu-
able horse owned by Allen d. Eakle,
near Rohrsville, Washington county,
Md, which died a few days ago. DR..
j. T. Hiberger, of Hagerstown, held a
post-mortem, and the whip was found
protruding from the stomach. Mr..
Eakle, in October, 1895, used a six-foot
buggy whip to punch an obstruction
down the choking horses throat, put
ting a horseshoe in the horses mouth to
keep it open. The horseshoe flew out,
and the horse bit off the whip, swallow
ing the long part with no bad effects
until few days ago, when the horse
sickened and died. After the swal-
lowing the horse worked every day and
ate three meals a day.

FINDS HIS LOST SISTER.
Student Collapses at a Chicago
Hospital Post-Mortem.
The Subject for the Autopsy Proved
to he His Girl Companion who
Had Left Their Kentucky
Home Five Years Ago.

In the dissecting room of the county
hospital at Chicago recently was wit
messed as dramatic q scene as ever came
within the range Of fiction. The hap
pening was so sudden and startling
and so surcharged with sorrow that the
physicians and attendants were over
come, though their practice and work
have steeled them beyond most per-
sons.
DR.. w. T. Kirby, one of the hospital
physicians, says the Chicago Tribune,
was about to perform ON autopsy on
the body of Minnie Heath, young girl
who, weary of the sorrow and horror
of her life, had taken carbolic acid 10
end it. After her body passed through
the coroner's hands it was taken to
the county morgue.
Four weeks ago DR.. Kirby received
letter from brother physician, a
specialist practicing in Chicago. The
letter said young man had just come
from Louisville, KY, to place himself
under the care of the specialist for a
slight though stubborn ailment. The
young man was q medical student, just
|
entering on his studies, and the spe'
cialist asked his friend, DR.. KIRBY, tC
allow him to visit the hospital and
see the institution under intelligent
guidance.
DR.. Kirby wrote his friend to send
the young Kentuckian over and he
would do all he could for him. The
student showed q deep interest in al
that pertained to his future profes
sion. AS he parted from DR.. Kirby ht

bell nervously, and besought the girl
to give her the nearest police station.
"Mr. Policeman" she stammered,
"Mr. Policeman, there's burglar over
here. Send lot of officres over here at
once"
She gasped out the street and num-
ber, and then two women huddled in
the dark dining-room until big cop
per, fat and out of breath, thundered
up to the door.
"Where's the burglar?" he asked, as
soon as he could speak.
"Over there" said both women at
once. "Over there. He's making plans
of the house."
The policeman loosened his club, felt
for his revolver and stalked across the
fields to the house first mentioned.
The brigand was sitting on the horse
block, laboriously writing something
on the paper he had been drawing the
plans on. Down the road the children
were still making their pies of mud.
The policeman sprang for the brig
and and seized him by the collar.
"Here," he said, "what do you mean

and, squirming to free himself. "What'n

The policeman stalked majestically

way, and Jack had no business talking
about getting the house painted with
