GIRL RESISTs HEAVY BOLT
Younu Woman Unconscious Several
Days, but Lives After shock
That Melted Steel.

Baltimore. Md.-MedicaI scientists
are interested in the peculiar case OF
.Josephing Jones. sixteen years old,
who is slowly recovering at St
Agnes hospital from a lightning
stroke. Dr.. Pierce Wilson says that
one OF the most interesting features
OF the case is the fact that for several
days following the accident the girl
was in a state Of anesthesia caused
by the terrific shock on the nervous
system.
For some days she was insensi5le
20 pain. There was no muscular
paralysis, but the nervous system vas
numbed. On making an investigation
1 found that the depression made in
the sidewalk where she was struck
measured two feet in diameter and
fifteen inches in depth. A tremendous
impact caused the sinking OF the
earth. While in Europe, several years
ago, / searched for unusual electrical
cases. but this one Is the most marvel
Gus 1 have ever known. The body
resistance Of the young woman IS
what saved her life.
The bolt melted her necklace and
the steel rod Of the umbrella she was
carrying. The girl was burned the
entire length Of her left side, the
wounds have not healed and may re-
uuire a skin grating operation

SHOES DEFY TIME AND WEAR
Mount Joy (Pa.) Man Thirty Years
Trying to Discard Them, Without
Peg Yielding.

Mount Joy. Pa.-Isaiah Zug OF NH
ton Grove IS the owner OF pair Of
shoes and Of a pair Of boots that, in
a way, are as out OF the ordinary as
the famous slippers Of Cinderella
They promise to be everlasting. for
the shoes have resisted for thirty
years the efforts Of Zug TO wear them
out. while the boots would FIRE the
enthusiasm Of former Governor Pen
nypacker, with their record Of TWEEN
ty-five years wear.
The shoes are Of the variety known
in the rural regions as Sunday
shoes" while the boots are his '-wad-
days" or workday footwear
Both pairs were the production Of
Abraham EbersoIe. now dead, who
had a cObbler and shoe shop az Mas
tersonviIle. Zug and the shoes have
never missed a sunday at church in
the thirty years since Ebersols made
them to order for him

CATHOLIC GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL
First Diocesan High School for Girls
in the United States-600 Pupils
Four Orders Among the
Teachers.

Philadelphia's new Catholic High
School for girls has been opened.
High school pupils heretofore have
been scattered in five districts of the
city. The building is modern through
out, magnificently equipped and has
accommodations for one thousand
pupils. Over six hundred girls are
now in daily attendance.
The new high school is unique
among American educational institu-
tons, in that it is the first diocesan
high school for girls in the United
States, although in New York and in
one or two western cities there are
combined parochial high schools. The
high school is in charge of four teach
ing orders, under the direction of the
Rt. Rev. Philip r. McDevitt, superin-
tendent of parish schools. The Sisters
of st. Joseph teach English literature
and history; the Sisters of Mercy,
ancient and modern languages; the
Sisters of the Immaculate Heart, draw
ing, mathematics, physics; and the
Sisters of st. Francis are in charge of
the business classes in stenography
typewriting, bookkeeping and finance.

law means one thing for the poor and

law means one thing for the poor and
another thing to the rich, when our
people are taken from the country and
huddled together in the slums of our
great cities, when the gambling house,
the saloon and the brothel enjoy the
protection of our laws or public Of
ficials, when Christian people who be-
lieve in Christian schools are sub
jected to double taxation, when a few
plutocrats have the people by the
throat and refuse to let them live
save as they dictate the terms, then
there must be something radically
wrong in the social organism, and the
discomfort and unrest is only the
visible, outward sign, and thinking
men and women, who have red blood
in their veins cannot be persuaded to
rest content, because in other lands,
notably the uncivilized, unchristian ma
tions of the Orient, conditions are
even worse.
What we are striving for is real
Christian civilization, based upon the
teachings of the gentle Nazarene, the
substance, and not only the shadow

LORD CHAMPIONS CONVERSION
Brought About BY Study of the
catechism Recommended by cardi-
nal Vaughan.

When Lord Brampton, Justice
Hawkins), the great jurist, came into
the Catholic Church he explained his
conversion as follows: It. had long
been dissatisfied with myself and my
religious position. I always felt that
I would have to face the matter some
day, but my arduous duties on the
Bench caused me to shelve it year
after year. In the end | thought that
I would wait until my retirement,
which was close at hand. l had, how
ever, here and there, read a good deal
on both sides of the controversy.
when l was free at last, I went
to see Cardinal Vaughan, whom
had often met at certain gatherings,
and for whom I entertained profound
respect. / talked matters over with
him and, at the close of my interview,
asked him to recommend to me some
books which I might read with profit
and which might help me. He thought
for little while and then said: Well,
Lord Brampton, you remember what
our Divine Lord said, Unless you be-
come as little children" etc.-you
know the rest. I cannot, I think, do
better than give you the Penny Ca
techism 1t contains in essence-aH
that we teach. Read it carefully and
pray much. | consider that answer
very good one" concluded Lord
Brampton; "and I took the little vol
ume home and studied it with care.
I thought it an excellent and logical
exposition of dogmatic teaching, adj
mirably summarizing and explaining
all that Scriptures contained. Prayer
and the grace of God accomplished
the rest. And for that which was &C
complished ! thank God every day OF
my life.
