Stabbed with q Hatpin.

A man was stabbed in the back Of the
right shoulder with hatpin such as
women use. The pin broke when tho
blow was inflicted, and only the head,
with the upper part, could subsequently
be found. The man suffered no inoon.
venience from the injury, and, this being
the case he thought no more of the mat
ter. However, some months afterward
he suffered good deal from pain In his
right shoulder, and this was ascribed &c
rheumatism. But no relief followed the
treatment adopted, and 1t was not until
some weeks had elapsed that the symptoms
entirely passed away.
In the course of time he noticed a long,
hard substance under the skin in the re.
gion of the t,wer part of the breast bone,
which puzzled him greatly. Suddenly he
CHANGED to think of the stab with the pin
which he had received about a year previ-
ously, and then it occurred to him that
the hard substance was the missing por.
tion of the pin. He obtained the services
of a surgeon, who cut down upon the for
eign body and found It to be exactly as the
man had supposed. The portion of the
pin extracted was 2ss inches In length ant
slightly bent in the middle.-Chambers

STRIKE SITUATION THE SAME.
Carpenters Not at Work and Negotiations
at q Standstill.

AT n StanOBtllls
Chicago, April 6.-Reports received
at the labor headquarters, 1877 Washing
ton street, were to the effect that not a
carpenter in the city was working. and
the situation remains the same as that
Of the day before.
President Cruise of the district coun-
Gil said that on account of the election
practically nothing toward reaching
settlement with the bosses could be
done, and that no men would return
to work just yet. A large number OF
carpenters gathered at headquarters,
where they engaged In general discus
sion of the situation. The strikers feel
confident that they will gain their point
and that within few days every con-
tractor in the city will have signed their
agreement.
There is nothing new in the situa-
tion." said President Cruise, "and ev-
erything is tied up tight. I received
word early that not nail was being
driven in any part of the city. except
by special permission, and II was also
reported that there was no serious trou-
BILE. In some parts of the city, where
the men were slow in obeying the or
ders togo out, there were spirited ar
guments but no acta If violence on the
part Of the strikers have been re-
ported"
President Cruise added that a large
number Of contractors who were will
ing to sign the agreement had called
at headquarters. but they were not al
lowed to sign, as the central strike
couroittee had reftrsed 70 entertain any
OF their offers at present.

If baked potatoes are to be more digesti-
BILE than those that are boiled, they must
be baked in quick oven where the starch
granules are exposed to a greater degree
of heat than in boiling, and consequently
where a greater chemical change takes
place. Baked potatoes retain their salts
and potash that are usually lost by boil
ing them without their jackets. In taking
baked potatoes from the oven pricking
or pressing them quickly will allow the
steam to escape, and they will not be so
apt to grow watery If 1t is necessary to
delay the eating Of them. In similar
way boiled potatoes that cannot be eaten
at once may be kept more "mealy" II not
closely covered, as in case there Is no es-
cape for the steam that accumulatcs on the
cover over them 1t will drip back on to
the potatoes. New York Post.

An Odd Coincidence That Occurred BE

''Here is one of the odd condolences o.
life" said my friend Williams. "Soms
time ago an acquaintance came to me and
told me he was in great need of SIS, and n,
considerable trouble to myself let him
have it. He promised to return 1t In few
days.
when three weeks had elapsed, men.
toned the matter to him casually, and he
was profusely apologetic-would send it
to me the following day sure. 1t didn t
come, though, nor did 1 get any word
from him. About two weeks after that I
met him in Broadway. He declared it was
a shame l hadn't got my money and
vowed he wouldn't let another day pass
without paying me.
1T went along then for week or ten
days, and, as my expenses were very
heavy, was considerably embarrassed
and needed the money badly. One night,
when was feeling particularly discouy-
aged sat down and wrote him note.
said: My Dear Sir-About six weeks ago
loaned you $40. Lest the paying it should
occasion you any inconvenience allow me
to hereby make you a present Of the
money
''That will bring 1t, II anything will,
thought l. Judge of my surprise when
by the next mornings mail / received a
letter from the man inclosing the SIS. By
the same mail exactly he must have re-
ceived mine making him present of 1t,
