HOW bE SAVED HIM.

The best thing that could happen to
most OF US would be TO receive the pow
er TO see ourselves "a others see US. The
following, which We take from an ex-
change, tells how the court stenographer
impaired thst power to a young man
who was running his prospects by drink
Ing. The stenogrspher tells the story
thus:
"He Is q tip-top fellow and has no end
Of ability, but four or five years ago he
began to let red liquor get the best OF
him. He had fine position at the time
and don't think he exactly neglected
his work, but II got to be q common
thing to see him standing around bar
rooms In the evening, about two-thirds
full and talking foolish. A few Of his
close friends took the liberty Of giving
him quiet hint, and "a Is usual In such
cases he got highly indignant and denied
point-blsnk that he had ever been In
the least under the influence. All the
same he kept increasing the pace until
II became pretty easy TO predict where
he Was going to land, and II was at this
stage Of the game that | did my great
reformation act.
II was sitting In restaurant one
evening when he came In with some
fellows and took the next table withou,
seeing me. He was just drunk enough
to be laxative about his private affairs,
and on the impulse Of the moment
pulled out my stenographer's note boob
and took full shorthand report OF every
word he said. IL was the usual maudlin
rot Of your good fellow half seas over
shading of In spots Of booty psthos
where both gentlemen wept In their
beer, and including numerous highly
candid details Of the speakers life.
Next morning copied the whole
thing neatly on the typewriter and sent
II around TO his office. In less than ter
minutes he came tearing In with hi:
eyes fairly hanging out Of their sockets
Great heavens, Chsrleyr he gssped
what Is this snyhowr It's q steno.

Is last evening" replied, and gave
him brief explanation. Did really
talk like thstT Il assure you Il Is .

and walked out and from that day tC
this he hasn't taken q drink. His pros
poets at present are splendid-in fact, h,

needed was to hear himself as Others
heard him.

"mAo,c. AND THE HUMAN
a10MACA.

The surgeons OF the Johus Hopkins
hospital 10 Baltimore bad . remarkable
stomach case. A young man WAS placed
on the operating table, and before he
had left Il his stomach had been cmpticd.
through the abdominal wall, Of the fol-
lowing articles Of diet:
One pocket knife.
Two screw eyes.
One small staple.
Twenty five grains Of ground glass.
Eleven pins.
Forty-nine lacks.
Seventy-two nails, iron and wire,
measuring from one to one and one-half
inches In length.
Nineteen wire nails, four inches with
large heads.
Seven knife blades--one about three
quarters Of an inch wide.
Nine horseshoe nails, four inches long.
Eight screws, two and one-half inches
long.
Four brass watch chains, with catches
and stays.
Twelve and one-half feet OF three
elghths inch iron chain.
The young man, Arthur Shut by
name, who will survive the experience,
had extreme difficulty, when he entered
the hospital, In persuadiug the surgeons
that his stomach carried any such
load. His earnestness, however, and
growing symptoms Of nausea, finally In
duced them TO operate. From the medi-
cal standpoint interest centres entirely
In the ability Of the human stomach to
carry such sn extraordinary burden, but
Shuts own story possesses exceptional
qualities.
He was an amateur "magician," and
had considerable success owing to his
cleverness In pslming. In his perform
ance the young man was foolish enough
to contend that he made no use of coat
sleeves or other parts OF his clothing In
making objects disappear. Some medi-
cal students, before whom he exhibited,
doubling his alleged supernatural power,
proposed that he perform while stripped
OF his clothing. Shut msdly assented.
Brought to bay In the nude, the "ms-
gic!sn" found that he had but one alter
native to confessing that his art was
merely slight-of-hand. That was 10
palm the objects handed to him into his
mouth and swallow them. He chose the
alternative, and by skillful work sue
ceeded In swallowing the entire mass Of
junk without sffording spectators the
slightest suspicion Of It's whereabouts.
he gained their enthusiastic applause as
being second Herman.
This was done on Saturday, and It Is
extraordinary that Shut was not incon-
venienced enough by the stomach ache
TO be driven TO the hospital until the
next Tuesday, and then IL took two days
for him to convince the surgeons that
they were not being imposed upon. The
list Of articles listed above was carried
10 his stomach, therefore, five days.
Shut seems remarkable fellow, even II
his claims to supernatural powers be
| denied.
