IAN interesting member of the

says The Kennebec Journal, ..is tho
young Iodian girl known as Miss Lucy
Nicola, but whose Indian name is wah.
ta-Waso. of the tribe of the Pauns-
wabskiks, Or Penobscots, of Maine.
Her entrance into Radcliffe was made
the easier for her through the In
6uence of Montague Chamberlain, for
many years the recorder Of the
Lawrence Scientific School Of Harvard.
Miss Nicola has been his stenographer
and typewriter for some time. Mr..
Chamberlain had an ancestor who had
a romantic experience with Miss Mic
ola's tribe, being . prisoner in their
hands for some time, and saved from
slaughter for his bravery, and finally
helped to escape by the women of thi,
tribe. For this reason, as we'll as

Mr.. Chamberlain has spent much time
among the Maine Indians for many
years, busying himself in studying
their folk lore, history and lam
guages."

THREE STITCHES
In His Heart and the Man is
Recovering.
Delicate Operation Performed in
st. Louis.

Commercial Tribune.
A case that is interesting local phys
icians is that of Eli Daniels, patient
at the City Hospital, in ST. Louis, who
is convalescing from an operation OF
the heart, the first ever recorded 10
this city or elsewhere, as far as il
known.
Daniels was q roustabout on the
quarrel, which took place At Chester.
ILL.,, he was stabbed in the heart. The
point of the blade entered the righ,
ventricle and pierced the cavity Of the
heart. Luckily. the knife had entered
the heart obliquely, and the result wa.
that the opening between the cavity
and the pericardium of the heart wai
Ilip-shaped on both sides. The wound
acted as q valve, and at each pulsatior
of the blood through the heart but 9
small quantity escaped through the ar
tificial opening.
The task of stitching this unusua
wound was a very difficult one. DR.. b
L. Nietert Superintendent of the Hos
pital physicians, who performed th'
operation, first removed section o
the breastbone, exposing the pericar
ium. The motion of the heart coult
not be repressed, and DR.. Nietert wa
forced to make the stitches while th'
rgan was shift ng around. 1t r.quiret
three stitches to effectually close th'
zap. The delicate operation finished
the pericardium was sewed together
rhe portion of the breastbone that wa
removed could not be replaced, ant
the operation was concluded by stitch
ing together the skin and the QUITE
Issues which cover the breast.
Daniels is now well on the road Il
recovery, marking one of the most dan
gerous operations ever performed il
st. Louis.

A Little Umbrella Story.

One rainy evening when traffic on
the elevated road was dull q guard on
the Sixth avenue line found q CON-
paratively new silk umbrella In one
Of the cars. When a lone passenger
entered the car at Park place. the
guard proudly showed his find.

he said. This is my last trip. and
have long walk. I had no umbrella. I"
The lone passenger, who was also
without a rain protector, congratulated
the guard.
The two carried on a pleasant con-
versation. only interrupted by stops at
stations. In time the train reached
the Eighty-first street station, where
the passenger was to get out. The
guard had carefully deposited his um-
brella in corner Of the front plat
form of the car. While he was busy
opening the gates the passenger quiet
ly lifted it from its resting place and
left the car. AS the guard closed the
gates and gave the bellcord a vigorous
pull he saw his former passenger walk
ing along the platform carrying the
umbrella.
"Hey. there! Stop It! Bring that
backw shouted the guard.
81 need it myself" replied the recent
passenger.
Come back, say! You are thiefv'
cried the guard as the train slowly pull

only smiled as he walked down the
| steps. He now shows the umbrella
to his legal friends and quotes the old
adage. Possession is nine points OF
the law."-New York Times.

White Les.

One would hardly dare to ask a
friend to dine In so many words, says
writer in The Spectator, IL 1t were
not permissible for him to make the
false reply that he was sorry he was
engaged and could not come.
Ordinary social intercourse, instead
Of becoming more direct, would have
to be carried on by an elaborate sys'
tenn of hints; otherwise society would
become, metaphorically speaking. a
bear garden in which sensitive persons
would be battered to death. 1t would
be impossible to get used to being told
81 do not like you, and your friends

TO EXCLUDE BEER
FROM FACTORIES
In FAThERLAND
The Kaiser Finds It HurtfuI to
PrOductiveness Of
Workmen.

Berlin, December 14.-The Emperor,
among 3 variety Of new subjects engag.
ing his attention, is looking into the
relations of the German workmen's
productiveness and the use Of beer dur.
ing working hours.
His Majesty's inquiries among en-
ployers and students of social questions
indicate that he regards the beer now
drank regularly on factory premises =
appreciably detrimental to both accur.
acy of workmanship and amount of pro.
duct. A movement is on foot 70 exclude
beer from the factories. Several works
have already educated their operatives
to dispense with the morning and after
no beer recesses. Il is quite common
for q workman to drink ten pintssa day
in the shops. while the average is not
much below . gallon per day, especial
ly among molders.
An American firm making electrical
apparatus here has kept records Of the
work done before and since the prohi-
bition of beer. The result IL 10 per ct.
increase in product per man. Part Of
the increase, however, is due to the
time saved. The theory of the firm is
that beer drinking In working hours
makes Q man physically and mentally
inactive. and that consequently he IL
less capable of doing his best work, es-
pecially toward the end Of the day.
