DREADFUL ORDEAL FOR CHILD
With Brain ParaIyzed, but Perfectly

f Reading accounts OF the cases OF

mAeting;,of the Association for the
Prevention of Premature Burial, the
lady of Bournmeuth, England was;
prompted to tell the story of her own
narrow escape. "a

staying with cousins who lived at

CromwelPs Burial Place.

Does marlborough church, near Pc
tersborough, contain Cromwelps
bones? The only positive evidence to
that effect, says the Church Family
Newspaper, is that of the nurse who
saw the hearse containing them driven
by night through Huntington, not
stopping there, as she hoped and ex-
pected, but taken further north, and
also that of the postboy who said he
was paid the mileage fee to North
borough. There is no indication of
them having gone so far north as
Newbury abbey, although stone in
the passage there says: Under this
stone rest the bones of Oliver Crom-
WE'LL ETC., and the facts of Crom-
wells widow coming to live here and
being herself buried here are in favor
of the persistent tradition in the par
ish that Cromwell was secretly buried
here and another body substituted for
his on the night that it lay at the Red
Lion, Holborn

Hatpins in. Action.

She was swinging back and forth
as she chung to strap in the subway
and as the train drew into the ex-
press station at Grand Central she
made her way down the car toward
the door. There were score of
other people doing, the same thing
and the crowd pushed itself into. a
compact mass. When the cars
stopped with jerk she was thrown
violently forward and sharp scream
followed. "Oh, my cheek! my cheek!"
she gasped and everyone tried to see
what had happened.
When the girl caught her breath
she turned accusingly on the woman
before her. Your hatpin did it, she
declared. you should be ashamed
to allow it to stick out that way.
Just suppose it had gone into my eye.
! have often noticed the way the
women have long hatpin ends ex-
posed and thought how dangerous it
was, but l never knew it would come
home to me this way"
The crowd was out on the plat
form by this time and the offending
woman had disappeared, but every
girl and woman in the group was try
ing to feel the ends of her hatpins to
see ii they were exposed. New York

VARIETIES II OF KISS
STYLES INTRODUCE HERE From,
THE OLD WORLD.
Different Mcshodss From the rubbing

Mother, Noted by Keen 81
Observer. @

Il have been. keeping tabs on the
different kinds of kissers VINO come
in here" said Gustav Melhauser. the
big porter at the piers Of the Ham
burg American line, at:the foot Of First
street, Hoboken, recently, according to
the New York World, and have found
that there are six general types and
many varieties. To begin WITH there
is the whisker kiss, or the Russian
KISS, which is given by one man to
another. The kissers enfold each 9TH
er in a giant embrace and, putting
Whlskers to whiskers, kiss each other
On the cheeks. NJ White, the Russian
VINO came over to settle up the Jap
anese row, gave us the best example
of this when he was in Hoboken. I
notice that even the lowest Russians
and the Asiatic people bordering on
the Russian states when they meet
their brothers and friends here have
this same masculine kiss, but some
times bestow it on the lips
1.-The sweetheart kiss is distinct
from the husband and wife kiss, I
can tell German sweethearts from
German wives as far as l can see or
hear their kisses. | can see the en-.
ergy Of the kiss generating in Helm
rich's face as he stands on the dock
waiting and watching to catch sight
OF Gretchen on the ship. When she
comes down the plank and-yes,
throws herself, that's the word
throws herself into his arms, you can
hear the smack of that kiss half way
down the pier, sound to give
strength and courage to every male
thing that hears it explode.
There is the "sent-for' kiss! The
sacred, doubtful kiss of the girl who
has come to America to marry a man
she has never seen. Perhaps she has
been introduced to him by some mu.
tual friend in a letter. Some Swedish
man in Minnesota has written home
to his old school teacher to find him
some girl in 'Sma land that will make
him good wife-and here she is.
When they finally find each other, and
after due inspection exchange salutes,
1t makes one think, generally, of the
touching of two icicles.
Then there is the wifely kiss; you
all know that, with it's varieties of
jealousy and trust; and the kiss of
clippers, who have stolen across and
salute each other as they set foot on
free American sofia sort of congrat-
ulation that they are at last safe-not
knowing that the police of Hoboken
and the customs Inspectors and immi-
grafton authorities have description
of them and are only waiting for
this signal to grab them
and last, there is the holy kiss of
the good boy who has come here,
made money enough to send for his
old mother and greets her as she
comes feebly down the gangplank with
the light of wonder and hope in her
old eyes, he having come 1000 miles,
or 1000 miles, across country to guide
her to the new home he has made for
her. 4

Art Treasure Recovered.

Much interest is being taken in the
beautiful bronze statue of Lucilli,
which King Edward had brought to
Buckingham palace recently. Recov-
cred from Lake Nemi, near Rome, the
statue is said to have been one of the
treasures on board the famous galley
of Tiberius, which, for safety, was
sunk when Rome was attacked. 1t
stands about three feet in height and
is of remarkable beauty. Now, nearly
1000 years old, the statue was for a
time housed in a small Italian mu-
scum, the contents of which were re-
Gently disposed Of, and by a circuitous
route it finally landed in its present
resting place.
The statue is supposed to be rep
resentation Of the beautiful young sis
ter of the Roman Emperor Caligula,
dressed in the flowing robe peculiar to
ancient Rome. Her hair is arranged
with fillets or golden bands, after the
fashion of the Venus de Milo, and
about her neck is collar Of gold. The
modelling of the hands Is particularly
fine, and the general beauty of the
statue is enhanced by the curious blue
color which has spread over the whole
of the torso as result of its long i'm
mersion in the waters of Lake Nemi.

Only Oil.

They're little slow on the other
side,"., says a New Yorker who spends
good deal of his time on the CONT
nent, "and while the stuffy little Eu-
ropean railway carriages are now
lighted with electricity my memory
goes back to no remote time when oil
was used.
"One night in Austria, during bad
storm, was aboard an express just
pulling out of Vienna, in first class
carriage, when we sprung leak. Drop
after drop, warm and dirty, fell upon
my hat and coat.
See here, guard said l, after a
long wait for that functionary to ap-
pear. This won't do, you know! The
rain Is coming through the lamp hole
and running my Clothes
The guard investigated Then, re-
assuringly, he said:
That's not rain, sir. It's only oil.
The lamp leaks little, but the roof is
quite sound, assure you.
Then the whistle blew, and he dart
