A Human balloon.

Albert Barrows, the siX-year-old son
Of G. j. Barrows, of Somers, Kenosha
county, Wis, while running down a
hillside on the farm near his home,
fell upon a stubble and the sharp points
entered his left side. He went home
crying. was put to bed and a physi-
clan was sent fo-. The accident APP
peared ordinary and the resulting in
jury trivial. But unusual and grave
symptoms were not long in developing.
What was first noticed was a slight
swelling of the left side of the body
This was thought to be merely the
sympathetic action of the muscles fol-
lowing the bruise. Remedies were APP
piled, but the swelling continued, in
creasing and extending day by day I'M
til the entire body of the child had as
sumed an abnormal appearance. A
careful examination showed that the
stubble in entering the body had passed
between the ribs and entered the lungs.
1t was the air from this organ that
was escaping, and. finding its way un-
der the skin, was gradually swelling it
out to terrible proportions. The lad
became pulled out to twice his former
size. 1t is very uncommon case and
has attracted much attention In the
medical world. The swelling is of the
form which occurs in a person afflicted
with dropsy, except that the swelling
is done not by fluid. but by air. The
air breathed into the lungs. instead of
finding exit In the ordinary way, es-
apes through the tiny punctures made
IN the lung by the stubble. From the
lung the air find its way to the mill
ions of little cells between the muscles
md the skin.

Beauty of the Creole Women.

CAS- you see his face" writes Ruth
McEnery Stuart in an article on the
Creoles "A People Who Live Amid
Romance" in the December Ladies'
Home Journal, "you will know that
he (the Creole husband or father)
realizes that no flower upon the lily
covered altar is half so fair or so fit
for the temples perfect adorning as
his blooming wife and budding daGSl-
tiers, who sit in lire beside him. If he
does not think these things he is
dullard-or. maybe, only half-Creole.
Perhaps his mother was an American,
or Scotch. And then? Perhaps he
would not think them because they
might not be true. There would be
other things, other things just as fine
and good, no doubt-they might even
have rare beauty of different type
but the Creole woman is a flower She
is magnolia or jasmine-occasion-
ally camellia-or, especially, when
there is a good warm drop of Spanish
blood in her veins, she is a red, red
rosa rose too sweet to pass I'M
touched but for her perfect dignity and
a piquant hauteur that is as protec-
tive as any thorn upon roses stem.
Properly speaking, or rather, narrow
ly speaking. the Creole is an American.
born of French or Spanish parents, or
of both, and, strictly, both parents
should themselves be foreign born, but
the Creole is often only the great-great-
grandson of Creole, and some of their
families of purest blood could not reach
the mother country without going back
through three or four American-born
generations"

One of the most beautiful of minerals
as well as rich ores of copper is the
green carbonate, malachite. As a fine
marble for carving the Russian mala-
chite is highly priced. 1t is very COM
pact and prettily banded in different
shades of green. The malachite from
Arizona is equally beautiful as speci-
mems, although not often occurring
solid enough for use as a marble. The
specimens of the velvet malachite, con-
sisting of surfaces of capillary crystals
in tufts and radiations, are especially
handsome. Azureite, sometimes called
blue malachite, is but slightly different
in chemical composition. The color ia
deep azure blue to blue black. At the
Arizona localities the two minerals gem
orally occur associated.

A REPUTATION FOR ONIONS.
tn odorous Bulb Is Exported to Eng
land by Egypt.

A"@ caorous BUD is Exported to Eng
land by Egypt.
English imports Of onions have in
creased from Egypt and it is acknowl-
edged that this country is at present
the most active and aggressive com
Fetitor in the onion trade. says a writ
er in Chambers Journal. Egypt has
been regarded by some people as the
land of the pyramids and mummies on
", but it has from time immemorial
had a reputation for onions. Ancient
Egyptians swore by the onion and re-
garded the plant as sacred. The in
scription on the pyramid of Cheops
tells us that the workmen had onions
given to them and from the bible we
learn that the Hebrews, when slaves
under Pharaoh, enjoyed these bulbs,
and that when far away they remem-
bered "the leeks and the onions and
the garlic" The trade with Egypt for
onions is now so important that four
lines OF steamers are engaged in the
traffic, bringing consignments from
Alexandria to Liverpool, Hull and Lon
don. The Egyptian onion is a hand
some and useful vegetable, and by
selecting the best strains of seed the
quality tends year by year to improve.
The Egyptians know two varieties
the "baali' and the "miskaoui' '-but
supplies of the latter kind are seldom
sent abroad. as they absorb so much
moisture from the frequently irrigated
ground in which they are grown that
they do not stand a sea voyage well,
The "baali' onion is the more popular
Egyptian onion and is grown in yellow
soil, which is sparingly watered while
the bulbs are maturing, in order that
the onions may stand a lengthy sea
voyage with little risk of "sprouting."
SO excellent in quality are these onions |
hat efforts are. 1t is said, being made |
n other countries to raise onions from
Egyptian seed.

A oueer Misunderstanding.

A certain West End man is growing
more and more deaf and greatly dis
likes to admit it, He makes a brave
pretense of understanding what is said
to him and this frequently entails
amusing mistakes.
Not long ago a neighbor met him and
said:
Perhaps you haven't heard about
the agreeable visitor that arrived at
our house yesterday?-a fine baby boy
"a perfect cherub?"
The deaf man smiled pleasantly and
replied:
'Oh, we have lots of them at our
house. My wife gets them by the bush
ell. Stews 'em, you know, and puts em
up. She put up more than forty cans

It Is Easy to DOmesticate Them.

I It Is Easy TO Doroesticate Them.
At the meeting of the Boston Scien-
tific society last evening c. J. Maynard
Of Gewtonyille spoke quite at length
on the much-maligned American ami
NAL. the skunk, giving the results Of
some five months observations of one
which he has domesticated. Mephie,
for that is her name, was captured
while quite young and being of affec-
! Tomato disposition, has become greatly
attached to her captors, and during Che
last half year has had free range Of
Mr. MaynaTd's house and grounds, has
made trip in cars and stage to his
summer home on Cape Cod, and has
been handled and stroked by hun
dreds of persons, including many
ladies. She is kind, timid, good-na-
tured. playful. During this time she
has afforded opportunity for constant
study. and Mr.. Maynard knows more
about this peculiar American product
than any other living person. He Is
able to correct many statement hereto
fore made that are not true; he finds
that it will escape if there is pos
sibility of doing so, and defends itself
only when cornered, and that before
its attack 1t gives a number of warming
signals quite as pronounced in charac-
ter as those of the rattlesnake or the
cotton-mouthed moccasin, so that
one who sees the signals may escape
the denouement by remaining abso-
lutely motionless. The creature will
then stink away, for it defends itself
only with great reluctance. AS to at
lacks on the barnyard Mr.. Maynard
thinks that much of this kind of dam
age is due to other animals, for so
we'll as he can judge the animal is
afraid of the hen, and If at all destruc-
i've could catch only young chickens.
In connection with his first paper, D
Edward E. Norton, president of the
oci' spoke of the skunk in its COM
ner aspect, it being an exclusively
Ame animal which furnishes
nanu lcturing purposes. The quality

Strange Burial Customs-

The Greenianaers know thing or
two. In the belief that "a dog can find
its way anywhere" they bury living
dog in the same grave with a dead
child. The canine is supposed to he

other world. The Australians pull out
the eorpse's finger nails, and then tie
the hands TO prevent its digging its

COOKING AND EATING.
Not Every Man Knows How to DO It
Properly.

AIOpeflts
At one time some 200 or 300 years
ago Italy held the palm for cookery
and the French Knocked at what Mon
taigne called le science de guelle. says
London Chat. Then came other days,
when masters Of the art, such as Bech-
ameil, maitre d'hotel of Louis the Mag
nificent, and Vatel, the famous stew
ard OF the Prince de Condo, ruled over
the aesthetics Of the dinner table. and
when great ladies, even princessce of
the royal blood and mattresses en- tire.
thought It no indignity to direct the
course Of a dish or to themselves pre-
pare It. The Princess of Soubise in
vented the PURGE d'oignons, that is even
now called after her. The Princess of
Condo gave her name to a particular
mode OF serving a breast OF mutton;
the Duchess Of Mailly, vieing with her,

the triumphant result that Canard au

having been the dish that weaned the
too susceptible monarch from the pit
falls of the princess and fixed him in
the paths OF virtue by the side Of the
Widow scarron.
With all due respect to Mgr. Savarin,
IL is not every man of sense who &

who swallowed their food in great

How Pretty Woman Answered
Lady Killer.

Mrs. Blank Of Detroit is a very pref
ty woman, in spite of three facts which
might seem to initiate against her,
says the New York World. She is
over As, she has a married daughter
and that daughter is the mother OF two
children. The daughter lives at Mount
Clemens, small town about twenty
five miles north of Detroit Mrs Blank
was waiting the other day at the De-
troit depot for the train to Mount Glenn
ems and was reading newspaper,
when she became aware of the pres
ence of a dapper little man, who pass
ed and repassed before her several
times. 1t did not strike her that this
Individual was endeavorlng to strike
her attention until her eyes happened
TO meet his and then she caught the
propitiating smile that is characteristic
OF that kind of a dapper little man.
Perhaps the smile was intended to be
fascinating, but Mrs. Blank allowed
her gaze to rest upon him calmly for
heeting instant and then resumed
the perusal Of her newspaper. The peri |
patetic tourneyings of the would-be |
lady-crusher continued for a few min
1tes, when. suddenly hating, he raised
his hat with a flourish and remarked:
L beg your pardon. but are you going
% Mount Clemens?" Mrs. Blank look
ID up and surveyed the intruder inter-
'stedly. Then she spoke in turn: Eyes,
am going to Mount Clemens-to Wis
t my grandson. He is almost as large
Is you arep The doors of the depot
which opened upon the street flew
Jack with bang as the dapper little
nan mingled with the distant per-
