Needles and Pins.

The Lancet tells Ola peculiar case in
a London hospital. The patient a
healthy Scotch girl, aged twenty years,
was in the habit OF putting pins In her
mouth and sometimes had been known
to fall asleep without removing them.
She was admitted to the hospital, hav-
ing swallowed FIVE pins accidentally
while fixing clothes. and by the help
of emetics she was relieved OF them.
Returning home, she began regularly
to vomit pins and got rid Of twenty
three in the course OF a month. She
then began to produce needles, and In
a fortnight thirteen came out from the
following situations: The left nostril,
the origin OF the sternomastoid behind
the left ear and a spot on the front Of
the right forearm. At the same time
she continued vomiting pins until sew
enty-fve had appeared. The needles
were blackened and slightly eroded,
and two Of them were threaded with
about three inches Of thread.

Durability Of Glass.

It does not seem odd to find inscrip-
tions written ages ago still visible on
the Tower Of London or on the steeple
Of some cathedral. but one would hard-
ly look on a fragile pane of glass In a
common window for characters 200
years old. A notable case in point is
that Of the old house in London where
in the notorious Jack Sheppard once
lived as a carpenters apprentice. One
Of the window panes still bears an in
scription cut in It by a glaciers dia-
mond recording the name and address
of man who preceded Jacks master
In that house.
The inscription Is. "John Woolley
Brand, Painter and Glazier. March u,
17O6"
That was nine years before the COM
ing TO the house of the famous Jack
Sheppard and over 200 years ago.

Humor emo Philosophy

THE CAMPAIGN STRENUOUS.

The women OF London, God bless 'em,
Are after the ballot red hot.
Not even the cops can suppress them
Or foil for a moment their plot.
They rise up in meeting and clamor
For what they consider their right.
The speaker his gavel may hammer,
But that doesn't put them to flight.
They come to the commons insisting
Where women before never spoke.
Quite useless the men find resisting
Or treating the case as a 1okee
They cheerfully hike to the prison,
Nor will they for fines pay a cent.
To show the new girl has arisen
And will not be bossed by gent.
They don't want to sit on election
And let their old men do II all.
They want to help make the selection
And shout when the ministers fall.
They want to enfranchise the ladies'
II ever they wanted a thing:
II not then blue blaxes and hades
Will romp for a time in the ring.
They seem to be tired OF asking
And not getting any reply,
And so, their true nature >unmashing,
They throw things where once they wer'
shy.
Not as a polite. petted kitten
This boon from their lords would theJ
wrest.
They're going right after the Briton
With tactics he understands best.
