MAGNET USED IN SURGERY
Device Proves Great Success in Ex- tracting Two-Inch Nail from
 Bronchial Tube.

"A boy swallowed a two-inch nail, and drew it out of him with a magnet" ," said a young surgeon, in the Louisville Courier
 The boy was 2 Kentuckian, and the nail at first gave him no inconvenience. It was the same as if he had swallowed 8 piece of bread. After two days, though, he began to have great deal of difficulty with his breathing. and he be- gan to cough. I was sent for, and put the X-rays on the lad. Up and down and in and out darted them, and in his right bronchial tube I found the nail. There it stuck, hard and fast. No won- der he choked and coughed I etherized him, opened his throat. and put to the orifice of the right bronchial tube good electro-magnet. By love, it worked in- stantly. The big nail shot up, and with a click 1t attached itself to the magnet firmly. I drew it out and the next day the lad was well. The magnet has been used in surgery to extract bullets and needles with. but never heard of its extracting nail before.''

CRUEL TO THEIR HORSES.
Drivers Who Leave Their Animals Standing with Heads Checked
 Too High.

Every now and then we notice Stand- ing on the street horse reined up tight ly,, with an overdraw check-rein, says Medical Talk.
 This holds the horses neck and head in a. very un comfortable position. There he stands, perhaps hours, holding his head first on one side then on the other, trying to rest his neck from the need less and cruel position in which he is held.
 Perhaps the owner is inside, doing some business. Maybe smoking OF drink ing. Possibly preaching sermon or at tending prayer meeting. But whatever he is doing he has allowed himself to be thoughtlessly very cruel to his horse.
 We always feel like unreining such 8 horse Sometimes we really do so. It may be taking liberties with other peo- ple's property, but the end justifies the means.
 A horse ought to be refined up when hitched on the street. Otherwise, he is liable to put his head down, trying to reach things on the ground, and he may get his foot over the reins or lines and tangle himself up, to his injury. There fore, horse ought to be reined up, so as to keep him from putting his nose to the ground. But he ought to be reined loosely.
 The overdraw is a good precaution against runaways. and when properly adjusted to the horses comfort it is not to be condemned But a tight overdraw, that compels the poor horse to hold his head high and stick his nose out, is bar barous and the driver who can do such things, after he has had his attention called to it. ought to be obliged to wear an overdraw himself, so he can get through his thick skull the suffering 1t creates,

AGE LIMIT UNKNOWN
CUPID ALLOWS NO ONE TO RE- STRICT HIS FRANKS.
Indiana Man Says S1 Years Are No Barrier to Matrimony and Chooses Bride with Eye to Home-Not
 Stopped by Rifle.

Has young man, just entering the irresponsible, flighty age of the early eighties, the right to fall in love, to secretly hie himself away to the home of his charmer, to WOO, and win, and wed her, despite the protests and against the riper judgment of his children? Has a man the moral right to do this, after he has just turned the eighty first milestone of his years? It doesn't seriously make any differ ence what anyone else thinks about it If the man, of this age falls in love, he has as much right to court and marry the "girl'' as if he were just turning 25.
 The man who says this, and who has acted as he speaks, is w. H. Turn CT, youth of 81 winters, who has Indianapolis as his home. MT. Turn er has just made public-because stories of the affair were leaking out from undesirable sources-the factthat he, being of the age he is, and in full possession of his mental faculties, has taken to himself blushing bride.
 Being man ripe in the knowledge of this world, MT. Turner knew that when it comes to picking out a life

BATTLE WITH HooPsNAKE.
Indiana Man Has an Exciting Expe- rience on a Peaceful Country
 Road in Hoosierdoom.

John Hess, a retired farmer residing in Columbia City, Ind, had a battle with a hoop snake that was exciting, to say the least. MT. Hess and wife had been out to their farm, four miles east of the city, in Union township. After passing along the road a short distance on their way home, the horse shied at something in the road, which, upon investigation, MT. Hess discov cred to be a large snake, jet black in color. He got out of the buggy, and, securing large limb, started to give his snakeship battle. The snake. later found to be hoop snake, reared its head about four feet from the ground and started for MT. Hess. That gen tleman swung the club for it's head and was so successful that he hit il across the neck, breaking it. When the battle was over, and the snake stretched out, it was found to meas ure over four feet in length This is the first hoop snake that has been seen in this country for years. This one was killed right on the edge of some swamp land, and MT. Hess thinks that 1t is probable that it's mate is some where in the vicinity.

ROTARY PLATFORM HOUSES
Novel Invention by Which Sunshine May Be Enjoyed All
 Day Long.

Dr. Pellegrin and Architect Petit, of Paris, have designed, according to recent cable dispatches, method by which houses, erected on specially constructed. rotating platforms, can be made to face any desired direction.
 The platform, as planned, is supported by two concentric walls, and the axis of rotation is occupied by a shalt through which pass the supply and waste pipes. A gas engine moves the platform, which may be harnessed to clockwork. The clockwork may be so arranged as to enable the house front to follow the sun during the day.
 The plan has attracted the attention of scientists throughout the civilized world. The curative power of the suns rays has been long admitted. Their po- tentiality as a disease preventative Is beyond dispute, says the New York Times.
 That New York is the one city able to construct a whole street of houses on rotating platforms, or any other kind of platforms which may prove fad, is beyond peradventure.
 Until the engineering possibilities af the proposition are demonstrated beyond a doubt" said Commissioner Thomas Darlington, of the department of health. II question it's feasibility. But If the rotating houses are possible there can be no discussion as to their desfrability.
 sThe sun kills disease germs. It's rays constitute the best disinifectant known They are the principal factors in increas- ing the red blood corpuscles. Iron is of very little value in providing red blood unless combined with the sun. The Ro- mans and the ancient peoples knew the value of the sun, for they constructed their houses so that they might take sun baths upon their roofs. The Aztecs and the dwellers in the southwestern portion of this continent were formerly sunwor- shippers, for they know it's muni1cent effects.
 "The chief benefits to accrue to people going to the far west are due to the com parative absence of cloudy days. There are parts of the United States that enjoy perpetual sunshine Sunshine is the greatest destroyer of mildew and mold. It is a purifier of water. People who work during the night are invariably pallid of face and fabby of muscle Their blood is impoverished. They are not armed for the battle of life.
 Above all, sunshine is the one agency most conducive to cheerfu1ness It is the cheapest kind of medicine. Rotating houses, constructed to point toward the sun from it's rising to it's setting, would be rather expensive, but they would we'll repay the cost

yesterday. And I never knew what I held in my hand"
 Come inside, Jim, invited the farmer. II sealed tAem cards up, and guess we'd better finish that pot"
 The two hands, yellowed with age, and the balance of the grimy old deck. were brought out of a cupboard and the two again examined their cards.
 ssYou were right, Jim. I'd calculated to open. Here's the original stake. We was playing ten-cent limit game. So I'll open it for ten," said Prattley. Weatherbee slammed 20 cents on the table.
 Y ..It'n cost you ten more to draw cards,' he cried
 Well, there look pretty good. I'll fuss with them. Gim me two cards, retorted the farmer
 Prattley held three deuces. Weath- erby had four. five, six, seven of dia- monds, and the queen of spades. He had waited for 39 years to discover that he stood a chance of making a flush, straight, or straight flush. He caught the three of spades.
 .sTen cents,.' said Prattley
 And ten,' replied Weatherbee, cheerfully.
 Same to you" challenged the farm CT, who had caught two jacks.
 They're just as good as they were in 1865. Up again. retorted Weather bee.
 Prattley raised again, and once more and then called His pot amounted to $1.50
 we won play another pot, as it would take away the poetry of the whole thing said the Denver man. 'tBut after recovering from my wound I went west and made little money, and if you'll sell me the cards and jackpot for $50, I'll be much obliged, Enos."
 "It'll help out on the taxes. I'll do it, agreed Prattley, and the old cards and the handful of silver were sealed up and handed over to the westerner.
 PrattIey says that ever since that Iong-ago night, when he expected young Weatherbee to return with the morning at the latest, he has always felt that the interrupted pot would be opened some time

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
A Budget of Useful Information for the Domestic Depart
 ment.

TO prevent rugs from curling at the corners bind them on the outer edge with some furniture webbing.
 To clean Japanese trays wipe with cloth wrung out of soapy water, then dust little dry -four over and polish with a soft duster.t
 Before boiling milk rinse out the saucepan with cold water. This will prevent the milk from burning as quickly as it would do otherwise.
 The lid of teapot should be always left so that the air may get in. This prevents mustiness. The same rule, of course, applies to a coffee pot.
 Before using the rope you have bought for a new cIothesline, boil it and let it dry. In this way it is prop erly shrunk and it IS also made more durable.
 Cut stale bread into very thin slices, place on tin and dry in the oven till crisp. Store these waters in tin and eat with cheese, or buttered for tea
 To free the pipe of the lavatory basin from soap and slime put two large handfuls of common salt at the bottom of the basin at night. This will gradually dissolve and the first flush of water in the morning will clear the waste pipe
 If there are stains on the tiles re- move them with paraff1n and sand. To keep tiles in good condition wash them about twice 8 week with skim milk or with little paraffin and water. Soap has not a good effect on tiles, so it's use should be avoided
 Never open an umbrella to let it dry, for while the silk is wet it easily stretches. The right plan is to close the umbrella and to stand it on it's handle to drain, for thus water soon runs out of it. whereas, if stood down ward, much of the water would run into the part where the spokes meet al the stick, causing the metal to rust and weaken the frame.
 To clean a leghorn hat stir tea spoonful of powdered sulphur into the juice of a lemon. Brush this mixture well into the hat with toothbrush and when quite clean place it under a tap and let the water run over 1t till the sulphur is washed of. Dry in the air in a shady place. To renew the glossy appearance of the hat, brush ii over with the white of an egg. Tna same treatment exactly will be suc- cessful with soiled and sunburnt sailor hats.

OLD GAME FINISHED.
STORY THAT WILL INTEREST
 VETERANS OF THE WAR.
A Poker Hand Dealt on the Night of April 2, 1865, in Virginia, But
 Just Now Played in New &t Work

One result of the recent Grand Army of the Republic reunion m Boston was an unusual poker game played in west ern New York. For if 1t hadn't been for the reunion James WeaIherbee, of Denver, Col, a one-armed veteran of the civil war, would not have met an old comrade at Union Hill, N. Y. and. incidentally, would not have finished little jack pot that was being n1ce- ly opened on the night of April z, 1865, on the outskirts of Petersburg. The explosion of Fort Drewry and the burning of Richmond, in sending Grants 10000 men scuttling after Lees veterans, with Sheridan hanging on the flank, interrupted the game.
 While on his way home from Bos- ton, says the New York Sun, Weather bee stopped off in Rochester to visit friends While there he took trolley ride to Sodus Point. As the car was waiting on Union Hill he heard man mention the name of Prattley, a we'll known farmer
 "IIey, there,' he cried out of the window; "are you folks speaking of Enos Prattley. civil war veteran" 2"
 The station agent told him that the group was speaking of Enos l.. Prattley.
 q get out here,' cried Weatherbee to his friends. Pick me up on your way home
 He walked a mile before he came to his old comrades home.
 "Is this Enos? Shake. I'm Wealth erbee. Do you remember April ?, 1865?" he asked of Prattley, who was about to enter the house. Prattley grinned and said:
 Let's see, Jim; we was opening a jack pot when old Drewry blew up. and you he'd to git"
 And that last deal cost, me an arm," replied Weatherbee, still clinging to the others rough palm. That's why I never came back to finish that pot. was dealing, re- member? You were scowling at your cards and pretending you couldn't open. Lord! Seems as if it was but

CHARITY or THE CHEAP.
Good Man Fills Hungry stomachs a the Expense of Restau-
 rateur.

One of those toil-hardened, true hearted chaps often read of in romances made his appearance in street in Liver pool the other day, and his sympathies were at once aroused by the sight of three or four old men standing about looking for work, relates London Tit-Bfts.
 "I'll be hanged if it isn't hard on you, :" he replied, when they told him that the3 hadn't had any work for month. How would you like some oysters?"
 They smacked. their lips by way of reply, and he gathered up a crowd of eight, marched them to restaurant, ar ordered oysters for each one.
 sIt just does my soul good to see them eat!" he said to the owner of the place as the eight got to work.
 Yes. it's beautiful sight" was the reply.
 Tt makes me feel good in here, z con tinued the stranger, laying his hand or his heart.
 A good deed brings it's own reward, was the soft answer of the restaurateur as he calculated profits.
 T can't rest here-I must do furthe! good" said the big-hearted man, and he rushed out and brought in three cab men, chimney-sweep, two boys, and an old woman, and ordered more oysters.
 The 15 people went for oyster soup in 3 manner to amaze, and their generous friend nudged the restaurateur in the ribs and said
 Just look at 'em! Oh, that could feed the poor of all Liverpool!'
 You are good man and Heaven will reward you replied the proprietor, as he filled up the dishes again.
 The stranger said he wanted to bring in just five more, so as to say that he had fed an even score, and he rushed out after them, while the restaurateur sent out for more oysters and bread.
 He has not seen the philanthropist since, and now requires cash down from his customers.

Talking about scenes in national con- ventions,'' said Congressman McDer- mott, of New Jersey, the other day, 'T'll never forget the awful clamor of the delegation from Oklahoma to get chairs to sit on the democratic convention at Chicago in 1884. There came from the shadows, away up among the caves Of convention hall, bulllike roar that could be heard above the din of the meet Ing place
 Mr. Chairman, it could be heard ar- ticulating, the delegation from Okla homa demand seats in this convention
 The sergeant t-at-arms will see that the delegation from Oklahoma are pro- vided with seats,' directed the chairman But the sergeant-at-arms was slow in doing it, and repeatedly came that thun- derous voice from the darkness, away over in one corner of the hall And it held the convention up as often as it set A1p it's howl, until the chairman, tired of parleying with the invisible speaker, di- -rected the delegation to step to the front 20 be counted to see how many chairs We're needed,for them
 There was Hull, while broad yell hDw sombrero moved from the darkness s2to the daylight aloft and threaded it's xgJgzag way down through the sweltering crush to the rail in front of the chair mans platform. Then the voice was heard to announce, MT. Chairman, the idelegation from Oklahomas

REVIVAL OF RIBBON WORK.
Various Kinds Now Employed in Orr namentaI Accessories of
 the Home.

1 Revival of the styles in dress or thG days of Louis KY. and whereabouts has brought into favor again embroiderN with ribbon, which fiourished at that time, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Thz| art of embroidering with ribbon was of French origin, and in it's palmy days beautiful results were achieved by means of these strips of exquisitely shaded silk.
 Ribbon a quarter of an inch or so wide shaded or in plain colors from light to deep tints--is now employed for the ornamentation of host of boudoir accessories, and also for dresa garniture.
 An effective design for a cushion consists of shaded cobweb in silks in one corner. with a spray of apple blos- soms around and partly across 1t. tha stalks being in chenille and the hoWs CTS in wide ribbon; or another with 2 chenille worked basket with handles holding sprays of lilac, horse chestnut blossom or chrysanthemums. passion flowers, etc. Large lilies or yellow marguerites, work bags, blotteras sachets, pincushions, table centers and bedspreads are being embellished with ribbon work, while among newer de~ signs are long. marrow framed @pio- tures," that take the place of a mirrox as an over-mantel in 6 boudoir or bea- room. The designs consist of paintee Watteau figures set In ribbon worA flower surroundings, or of a succession of connected cabinet frames in ths work, each containing photo. AS fo4| dress garniture, the possibilities oi ribbon work offer a most attractiv& field for the clever needlewoman- An additional feature of interest is thai the work is both easy and pleasant.
 For a bedspread the work is done on widths of satin and joined An exquis- ite spread recently executed by an exr pert dmbroiderer Is of apricot satin worked with chrysanthemum in varis ous shades of color. with chenlla stalks and touches of silk. AS bor* der to portiere ribbon work is very effective. Linen or similar material is the foundation for ribbon embrof< dery or articles for boudoir or tabls use.
