Presence 0f Mind.

An example of presence ot mind was that of a woman who, being left alone in the house one night, heard a noise in the dining room and knew that burg ars were removing the plate. She was too far from any other house 10 summon as sistance. Seizing a large paper bag which lay on a table, she lfsted it and broke it on the wall of the stairs with a loud report The thieves, mistaking il for a pistol, dropped their plunder and fled.

She Sat OR the Tire Cement.

Seldom has a woman found herself in a more embarrassing predicament than did bloomer glrl from La Grange, Iowa, the other day. She stopped to have some repairs made to her wheel. The proprietor of the shop had been annoyed by idlers. and had that morning laid a trap for them ny spreading coat of tire cemen, upon the low coun CT where they were wont 10 sit
 When the bloomer girl spDe ired on the scene he was so interested-for she was very pretty-that he forgot about the cement, and the young woman sat down on h. counter When the repalrs were completed she attempted to rise, but was stuck fast.
 The proprietor of the shop finally re membered that gasoline would soften the cement, and hastened to a nearby store for can of the fluid. Meanwhile the poor girl alternated between sobs and shame and fright and tears of indigna- tion When the gasoline arrived the portion of the counter upon which she was fastened was wet with a quantity sufficient 10 make the young woman uneasy whenever she saw man ap- preaching with lighted cigar.
 After about fifteen minutes the maid was released, and went on her way, ou with bloomers ruined, s) far as appear ance were concerned.-Ex.

the Cornhill Magazine. Now ten or

Of treatment" But they spoke in vain.
Nor could the protests of councillors.

to accept medical assistance Her mel
ancholy was settled and irremovable,"
and she had no wish to prolong 1t by
iengthening out her life. She only
broke silence to murmur: II am not
sick. l feel NO pain, and yet pine
away" She was asked whether she
mad any secret cause of grief. She re-
Piled that she knew of nothing in the
world worthy Of troubling her. At
length. by force lit is said) she was
lifted from the cushions and put to
bed. Her condition underwent no
change. Gradually those about her re-
allied that ''she might live II she would
use MEANS" but that she would not be
persuaded. and princes. as they tear
fully acknowledge, cannot be coerced.
Nevertheless. until the third week they
looked forward to renewal of her old
vivacity and the dispersal of her Ieth-
argy. But during the week it was
perceived that the ground she had lost
could only be recovered by miracle. On
wednesday, March %, her councillors
entered her bedchamber to receive her
last instructions. She had none to
give. The archbishop and bishops Of
Tered up prayer at her bedside, and she
derived some comfort from their min
istrations. In the evening she sunk
into quiet sleep, such as she had
sought without avail for nearly a
month. She never woke again. About
3 O'Clock in the morning of March "a
she departed this life, mildly like q
lamb, easily like a ripe apple from the
tree" When she was examined after
death her physicians reported that
"she had a body of firm and perfect
constitution, likely to have lived many
years." Death was. in fact. prepared
to the last to bargain with her for q
few more years of life, but his terms
implied an enfeeblement of those fac
ulties on whose unrestricted exercise
her Queenly frame seemed to her to de-
pend. By refusing to be party to the
truce she invited her overthrow. But
she never acknowledged herself van
quished; she made no will, she be-
slowed no gift on any Of the faithful
attendants who wept beside her death
bed, and she declined to guide her
council in the choice of a successor.

Unusual Surgical Operation.

A remarkable surgical operation has been
performed upon Adrian Dehertoghe, a ma
silver wire, as large around as an ordinary
hypodermic needle. have been introduced
rial channel leading directly from the heart.
Those forty-five feet of wire have been In
there for three months. and. surgeons say,
have saved his life. They were inserted at
a time when death seemed certain-compli-
cations resulting from severely injured
aorta, the patients trouble being an aneur-
ism, or sacuated tumor OF the arterial wall.
Its development to rupture OF the aorta
was only a question of time. with instant
death as the result. The wire was intro
duced into the dstended abnormal sac
formed in the aorta. in order partly to fill 1t
and form there a eliot, that would in time
contract and be there absorbed. thereby re
storing the channel to Its normal formation.

WHERE TROUBLE LIES.

A writer In the Boston Herald ON
that most prolific subject, domestic ser
vice, seizes a large horn Of the dilemma
In rational way In the following para
graph: But, after all, the root Of the
trouble largely lies in the small esteem
which has Of late years been given to
household service.
Anything else in the way Of employ
ment has been preferred to 1t, and the
term, Kitchen girl" has been one Of
almost contempt among other working
girls. The first thing to be done Is to
give household labor its proper dignity
and make 1t a respectful calling There
y surely no more highly important
service in the world than that OF max
ing people happy and comfortable. We
have come In this age of the world to
take SO many things at false estimates
that we really have lost the senses OF
true values.
BY a most absurd displacement Of
values in the list of occupations and
callings, this household labor has been
put at the very foot Of the bread-win-
ming employments. Instead OF being
made the highest Of all services. 1t has
been customary to rank 1t as the low
est. Now human nature, In every
phase, is SO constituted that 1t Ii never
satisfied with occupying the lowest
place; the struggle is always upward.
So, after all, It is not strange that the
clever, ambitious girl should decline to
take the most humble position and rank
among the less intelligent set. that, a.
q rule, makes up the mass Of the ser
want class, but that she should strive
for the highest position.
When the domestic branch Of labor
is properly dignified and given the
place which belongs to 1t; when It u
recognized that to no service can brain
and ability more necessarily be brought
then. and not until then, will the
class, as a class, be improved. 1t is not
a question Of financial values, but Of
personality. It is not a question OF ra-
tiouality, but Of fitness. Adjust things
as they belong, and the key to the sit
uatiou il found.

A Mean Trick.

The meanest trick registered thus far In
the campaign was practiced by Governor
Robert B. Smith Of Montana upon John c.
Sheehan, the deputy boss Of Tammany. The
latter took the trouble to invite the opinion
Of the governors of the silver states upon
the propriety of omltting national issues
from municipal campaign and asked them
TO back up Tammany in its neglect to In
dorse the Chicago platform. Several OF
them did so, others In respectful language
declined to Interfere. but Smith. with a wild
western sense of humor INDUCED in sar-
castle comments upon the Tammany plat
form, declared that all true Democrats
should vote for Henry George, and sent his
