REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Miss Fannie w. Tunison Sews, Paints
and Embroiders with Her Teeth
and Tongue.

IL has often been said that woman S
most trustworthy weapon is her tongue,
but it has been left to Fannie w. Tuni
son, of Sag Harbor, L. l., to show the
world what very useful organ the
glossal organ really is, says Philadel-
phia Times correspondent.
Thirty years ago Miss Tunison was
born, and, to the grief of her parents,
she was found to be suffering from a
form of infantile paralysis which total
~ incapacitated her from using either
her upper or lower extremities. Her
parents were only poor farmers, in a
small way of business, and Fannie's
affliction not only weighed feavily upon
their minds, but upon their pockets as
well.
But Miss Tunison has turned. her
shortcomings to good account. De-
prived of the use of her limbs, she gets
along perfectly well with her tongue,
and paints, embroiders and writes a
better hand-or rather mcuth-than
most people who are blessed with the
use of their ten digits. She makes more
money, too, than the majority of her
fellow-townsmen, for last year she
earned over $1,000 by executing orders
for pictures given to her by summer
visitors at Sag Harbor.
Miss Tunison's work is of no mean or
der. The pictures that she paints COM
pare fayorably with any amateur art
lists, and she paints with considerable
quickness. So proficient is she at WELD
ing the brush with her tongue that she
excels at copying, and she possesses
several canvases that would bring cred
it to any copyist. She is especially good
at painting pictures of the Montauk
Point lighthouse, and the little picture,
which takes her less than 20 minutes to
paint, she sells to visitors for the price
of one dollar.
But it is not only as an artist that
Miss Tunison shines. She is expert at
fancy work as well, and, wonderful as
it may seem, she is perfectly able to
thread her needle and use the scissors.

Marking Household Linen.

1t is customary to mark household
linen which is made before marriage
with the maiden name of the bride,
but after marriage the initial of the
husbands last name is taken. If the
marking is done with ink write the
last name in full, but if embroidered, use
only the initial. The tablecloths may
be embroidered in the center or in
one corner. ! prefer to have all house
hold linen marked in the corners. You
may buy at any of the large dry-goods
stores kid letters in all sizes, from
those suitable for a handkerchief up
to those large enough for household
linen. A plain white tablecloth is
suitable for all occasions. Unless one
has an abundance of money it is bet
ter to be content with a good quail
ity of plain white damask than to in
vest in fancy blecloths.-Ladies'

The Paper of the People. for the People

Honest in Motive.
Fearless in Expression.

A newspaper is an educator; there are all kinds
of educators, but the man who spends money
judiciousy and literally is better able to impart
his knowledge than the man who has little or
nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type ola newspaper.
The Suns reports from all parts of the United
States are unsurpassed.
The Suns Cable Service is the finest known;
the troubles in the Philippines and in South Africa
demand competent correspondents and vast ex-
penditure of money and laborin getting the news.
When you get The Sun you get news and intelli-
gent presentation of facts with it, rs well as care
fully prepared articles of editorial writers ofhigh-
est standing. When you read daily paper,
whose principal recommendation is its cheapness,
you get the dregs- generally very poor dregs at
that.

How to Deodorize PetroIeum

The following rule for deodorizing
petroleum seems to be a good one: Mix
chloride of lime with petroleum in the
proportion of three ounces for each
gallon of the liquid to be purified. 1t
should thea be introduced into cask,
where some muriatic acid should be
added and the mixture we'll agitated,
so as to bring the whole liquid into in
innate contact with the chlorine gas.
Finally. the petroleum should be passed
into another vessel containing slaked
lime, which viii absorb the free chlor-
inc and leave the oil sufficiently deodor-
lied and purified. Ladies Home Jour
nal.

MISS TUN1soN AT WORK.

She never requires the assistance of
anybody, and all the work she turns
out is done strictly by herself.
When Miss Tunison is at work she is
seated in a chair which has been spe-
cially made for her. From the arm OF
the chair rises metal rod which sup
ports a small wooden table, and it is
upon the table that all the work is
done.
In spite of her affection, Fannie al
ways has cheerful word for visitors.
Indeed, it is her greatest pleasure to re-
ceiye company, and she is never SO
happy as when she can show off her
wonderful powers.
In appearance Fannie differs some
what from the ordinary mortal Ow-
ing to the excessive use of her tongue,
the muscles of the neck are extremely
well developed and stand out thick and
prominent. Her eyes, too, have a
languid look about them and roll, when
she speaks, In a peculiar. manner. Her
speech is thick and heavy, no doubt
due to the excessive size of her tongue.
The way in which she threads needle
is peculiar. She first holds the needle
in her teeth for the purpose of planting
it firmly in the wooden table before
her. She then takes up the cotton, bit
ing it off the length she requires. The
next step is to hold the cotton with her
lips, which she screws up in peculiar
manner. Then in trice, before one
can say Jack Robinson" she takes
aim at the eye of the needle before
her, and ten chances to one, the needle
is threaded.
