NEEDLE pRICKED HER LUNGS.
Flesh Had Grown Through the Eye
Thus Holding 1t Fast.
New York Herald.

New YORK Herald.
4 tiny needle, which may have been i'm
for many years has finally resulted In her
death Mrs. Hatfield, who was forty-two
years 9iq, lived at VI Park avenue hobo 9
and their five children. The primary cause
of death was consumption, but the little
needle, pricking the tissues of the right
lung for years. had sown the seeds of the
disease. Mrs. Hatfield began to feel the ef-
fectS of the invisible weapon two years ago.
she complained OF severe pains IN her slde,
and was occasionally seized with violent
spells of coughing. Drs. Foley and Grew,
of Hoboken, were called in at various times,
and they diagnosed her complaint as quick
consumption. 1t was thought by them that
a foreign substance was lodged in the vi
entity of the right lung, but under the cir
cumstances they did not feel warranted i'll
performing a surgical operation. They did
not think the patients physical condition
would stand the strain.
The doctors had practically given her up.
When last June, Mrs. Hatfield visited her
parents, who live in Troy, N. y, she was
rapidly wasting away. Her parents con-
her life. The operation was performed in
the City Hospital of Troy, under the direc-
ton of Dr. Harvey. The surgeons succeed
ed in bringing to light the little. needle
which for years had been imbedded in the
flesh. 1t is fact well known in surgery
body until it works its way out through the
skin
That this needle had not penetrated the
luIlS WAS que 10 the TACT That the mesh ndu
grown through the eye holding the little
weapon tightly and securely in its place
The pulsations of the lung had brought the
tissues in contact with the sharp point and
a constant priclSing resulted
Strange to say, the patient rallied from
the operation. With the removal of the
pain, and, after resting a few weeks at the
home of her parents. she returned to Ho-
boken. For time hopes of her ultimate
recovery were entertained. The disease,
however. had become too deep-seated, and
she sank gradually until death came on
Friday.
The presence of the needle in the wom-
ans body cannot be explained by any of
her relatives. She herself was at a loss
how to account for it. 1t must have been
there for many years She remembered
that once, when twelve years old, she had
tanning a PAINFUL injury. It is probable
that there were pins and needles on the
bureau, and one of them may have pierced
her, at the time and have remained in her
flesh ever since.

Heat for Cooking.

The Outlook. =
The finding of fuel for cooking that will
be under absolute control when wanted Is
the dream of all housekeepers. Gas In Cit
les where its cost Is not too great, has
solved the problem for home housekeepers.
When Kitchens are heated by furnaces or
steam heat ana hot water is provided from
the cellars gas win become more common
as a fuel for cooking than now. Manutac-
tured gas costs too much TO heat water 10
supply large household. Electricity Is
promised as the fuel for cooking IN the near
future The experiments of Prof. Jackson
can be carried into the kitchens: He has
demonstrated that a meal can be cooked
and the water heated for washing dishes at
a cost of 1916 cents per meal-very much
more than coal which is but 3.l5 cents per
meal The advantages i'm favor OF electric
ity are the entire absence of dirt. the per-
feet control of the heat and, for baking.
the evenness of the heat. The use OF elee~
tricity i'm lighting the streets and as mo-
tive power for street cars will doubtless
lead 10 very great reduction in its cost to
househoiders in time. Where cooking can
be done in Il clean, pure atmosphere, on a
stove which can be kept as perfectly clean
as a marble slab. with lightweight cooking
utensils many women who now dislike
heat, dust and the discomfort inseparable
from coal heat will be more familiar with
their Kitchens than they are now.
