The following remarkable account of
the extraction of needle from the
body 10y meaus Of q magnet is given by
Cosmos:
"a young i%auldrcss thrust a broken
needle into her right hand while wash

pcared i'll the flesh, the surgeon who
was consulted several days after the ac-
cidcnt refused to perform an operation,
fearing lest he should be obliged to make
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. Gorinewski and Cerestin
then determined to extract the needle
with the aid of u magnet, drawing it
into IL fleshy region where an incision
could be made without danger. TIC
cause this movement they chose a very
feeble electro magnet, but IL difficulty
arose. Tho needle having entered point

backward, the broken part i'll advance.
''The first. trial lasted two hours,
with short intervals of rest. without
appreciable results. Before the third
trial the girl said that she felt a prick

To the Editor of The Times:
SIR-A curious parallel to you, correspond
emit Mr.. Wicks' cXorcisln OF the ghost that
haunted the house at Esler occurred some lew
years ago in an old OSfordshire mansion, OF
which friends of my own had recently become
possessed. Soon after the new owners ARRIVAL
the yrcw-solne discovery was made that on inc
upper floor, containing the servants apart
mcnts and the children's nurseries,, there was
u chamber which had long been known az
haunted and in which no one could over be IN
duced tu sleep. By daylight it w:,s n pleasant,
sunny room, but to he i'll it at night, SO every
occupant declared, was enough to chlllth very
marrow i'll ones bones. No sooner was mo
house all quiet, doors and windows shut anu
midnight near Ginning from the church tower
then strange sounds, heard nowhere else, ee-
gan to fill the haunted room. Weird music
broke the silence. now sweet and soft and love

sion, then dying away in long drawn means OF
infinite distress. Nothing was ever seen, but
there was no delusion as to the sounds. 1t was

make the secret known. Those means, as of /!

ceeled from no human visitant. The room
WINS haunted ami it was not to be expected
that any ono would sleep in company with Il
ghost.
My friend, the mistress Of the house. wns 81
woman of great nerve and common sense. She
needed the room for household use and she T..
solved to lay the ghost. Accordingly she Ind
it made ready for occupation and after II care

the boards We're taken up and Immediately be

route to the different parts Of the house. Whe,
doors and windows We're all closed and every
