 A blind boy who was left in charge
 of bakers horse and van near the Clifton suspension bridge at Bristol had most marvellous escape from a cruel death. The horse walked straight over the cliffs and fell to the bottom a distance of two hundred feet, The boy himself tumbled into 0 tree, whence he was afterward extricated unhurt while at the front of the cliff the cart was found smashed to atoms. The mic raeulous escape does not end here, as 1t was found that the pony was unin- jured The stout old ship Fannie Kerr has had a miraculous escape. She was abndoned on fire in the Pacific ocean in May of last year while on a voyage from Newcastle, New South Wales, to San Francisco A short time ago this
 ship drifted ashore at South Cape, Formosa. She must have been a dere- ilct vessel, for over twenty months and during the time she was abandoned it is calculated that she drifted nearly four hundred miles. This is not bad for ship that had been abandoned as unseaworthy.
 A remarkable escape from death is that of girl who was admitted to St, Bartholomew's hospital in Rochester. This female patient was the daughter of local police officer and by some accident she had a needle thrust right into her heart. A remarkable opera tion was performed at the hospital as a result of which, after a considerable amount of suffering on the girls art the needle was successfully removed from the heart. At the Thirty-flrst congress of the German Chirurical as- sociation, held at Berlin. a remarkable patient was introduced to the con gress. This was young man who, while attempting suicide, shot him. self with a small caliber gun. The bullet had penetrated his heart, but the wound had healed up rapidly. The Roechigen rays were turned upon the mans heart and the bullet was dis covered in the right ventricle, bound- ing about with each beat The man was for all the world as if his heart was rattle. After some time the bull let gradually became incased and now it moves rhythmically with the heart without causing the slightest incon- venience to the patient. Equally re- markable was the temporary escape from death of a domestic servant named Ellen Klesby. Some years ago she was accidentally shot near North ampton, and the bullet lodged in her head, but could not be located. Re- gently the girl said she thought the bullet had moved it's position; later in the day she died. An inquest was held.-Chicago Chronicle.

No plotp he said; why, l could give you twenty plots in half an hourp At which I laughed, but he insisted, dogg ally. I could!' The outcome was that once, when was away from home, he amused himself by writing out plot-in twenty-four chapters Out of that plot I after wards constructed a story.
