AN OLD woMAN's WAGER.

AN OLD WOMAN'S WAGER.
A dispatch from Chillicothe, O., says
that Mrs. Orpha Wright, of that city,
has just completed, for a wager, a
remarkable feat of endurance. She
has been inordinately fond Of crochet
work since her childhood, and some
time ago wagered a friend that she
could crochet six window curl aims, each
four and one-half yards long by yard
and half wide, in eight months.
Each spool contains 200 yards. She
consumed 244 800 yards of thread in
making the curtains. She began the
work with an ordinary crochet Deedle,
but found that they were too soft, and
a dentist made for her two dozen need
les of tempered steel. They we're COM
pletely worn out before the task was
finished, and Mrs. Wright's fingers
were almost worn to the bone by the
friction of the thread.
She worked from twelve to fourteen
hours every day, and managed to COM
plete the curtains in just eight months
almost to the hour. There are over 20,-
600, 900 stitches in the curtains, and in
addition to this Mrs. Wright made the
sixty tassels which adorn the curtains,
and braided the forty-two yards of cord
with which they are draped. The re-
markable task resulted in an attack of
nervous prostration for the operator,
and she has not touched crochet needle
since, and probably never will again, as
they excite in her the deepest loathing.

There is no indication that any Of 1t

will let the insurgents have their share
