His Buried Hand Itched.

Suffering intense pains in hand which
had been amputated and buried, Lewis
Jefferson, OF Blades. Del, had no relief
until the hand was uncovered and the
fingers Strengthened out since when he
has felt no more pain.
The strange story is vouched for by
Jefferson himself, who had his hand eui
off by circuIa, saw at the Allen mills
several weeks ago. During the past
week he has been suffering with severe
pains and with an itching sensation in
what would have been the palm OF his
hand.
Unrelieved by physicians, the young
man acted on the advice of fnends aud
dug up fhe amputaied hand, which had
been buried for nearly six weeks. The
fingers Of the hand were found in
eramped position. After Strengthening
out the fingers and weighing them so
that they could not again double up, the
hand was reburied. All pain left Jeffer-
son at once, and he claims that he has
suffered no inconvenience since.

Sad Story of a Glass Eye.

Seized with a violent fit OF coughing at
her home on Paint creek, w. Va, Mon
day morning, Mrs. Lulu Stnckler, aged
90, coughed up a glass eye which she had
misplaced 90 years ago. The artificial
optic was in a perfect state OF preserva-
ton. In speaking OF the incident, Mrs.
Strickler told a story OF her early life, says
the Charleston Mail.
al had the misfortune to lose one OF
my eyes when in my early teens" she
said. "BY way of offering encourage
ment my mother promised that glass
eye should be my birthday present when
| was n. So We began saving tobacco
tags and on the morning OF my 2lst birth
day mother handed me the package con-
tanning the bulb.
There was no optometriSt in the town,
then, but we had our choice OF jeweler
and optician' and blacksmith. Before
the blacksmith reached the house with
his implements had opened the package
and found to my modification that the
pupil of the glass was black, while that
of natures orb is light blue, as you will
notice.
The blacksmith was single man and
when saw him coming hurried TO the
looking glass 10 straighten up my hair
preparatory TO meeting him and advising
that his services would not be needed, at
least for the present.

my hand and careIessly placed it in my
mouth so as 10 be able TO use both hands
on my hirsute adornment. The eye was
slippery and slipped down my throat as
slick as a whistle. II didn't hurt me but
it caused the death OF my father tew
months later"
MAY aSkin what manner your fathers
death was connected with your own mis-
fortune, my poor woman" queried the
reporter.
"Well," replied the old lady, al don't
like 10 tell you but will. A few months
after swallowed the glass optic my father

Woman's Beauty Age.

"At what age is woman most beau-
tiful 2" has been the subject OF some
what spirited discussion in Partisan art
circles. M. Ferdinand Humbert, the head
OF the School of Fine Arts, owns to two
ideals. AS an artist his favorite feminine
type is between the ages OF Is aud %
the time OF "radiant youth" AS a mere
man, he considers that women OF from
Is to 35 years old are the most fascinating
and charming.
The veteran painter, Harpignies, is not
so generous, for he sets the time OF beauty
at from 16 to 70 years-the age OF youth
full simplicity unmarried by the cares and
anxieties which years bring in their train.
M. Gabriel Ferrier, on the other hand,
accords to beauty lengthy reign. he
considers the woman OF today is beautiful
from the age of Is TO so, for she has be-
come mistress OF the art of how to make
the best OF herself with the help ofskilled
dressmakers and modistes.
M. Barthalome, The famous sculptor OF
the beautiful Parthenon statues, sets the
time OF beauty at between the ages OF
l8 and 25, but with the reservation that
there is no true beauty without goodness,
and that beauty OF face and form without
beauty OF soul has no appeal 10 him.
Jean Boucher, another famous sculp-
tor, says that woman IS at her best be-
tween the ages OF 10 and 30, though from
youth to old age she is adorable What
would appear TO be the most comforting
opinion OF all, however, from the point
OF view OF the fair sex, is that expressed
by the famour portrait painter, Francois
Flameing. "A woman's greatest beauty
may dawn at any time between the ages
OF Is and 80" he says. "Let every man
form his own opinion, according TO in
dividual taste. as TO which OF these years
woman is at her best"
