1t sounds fishy, but its truth is vouched
for by two reputable Ellsworth ply
sicians, Trenton man, a contented cat
and hat-pin. One day recently Joseph
Gi,ley of Oak Point brought to DR.. n. C..
King OF Ellsworth a half-grown kitten
which he said had swallowed hat-p'n.
DIR. King was skeptical, but said nothing.
He took the cat to DIR. Arthur II. Parcher,
and together they performed delicate
surgical operation. Pussy was etherized.
Then a small incision was made in her
throat, where the point OF a pin was
located, and the physicians drew from
the incision a hat-pin which pussy had
swallowed head first. The pin was
measured; it was seven inches long
only few inches shorter than the kitten.
The kitten rallied quickly from the
operation, and curied up for a nap. 1t
was the first time it had been able to do
much curling since IT swallowed the pin.

Preserving Frescoes.

A novel method Of preserving fres-
Goes, recently discovered By a Japa-
uese, consists in coating them with
hin glass, which is made TO adhere
through the agency of specially pre-
pared chemicals. The new method Is
said to make frescoes proof against
the injurious action of the atmos-
phere. Il Is stated that chemicals used
TO make the glass adhere are an aka
line element and caustic nitrogen COM
bined at heat of about 800 degrees @.
The inventor has applied to the au-
thorities to have his method used for
the preservation of the frescoes in the
Horyuji temple, the oldest in Japan.

An Enjoyable Event.

One of the most enjoyable enter
tainments of the season was a tacky
party given at the beautiful new home
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Littlefield on
the Canton pike. The guests num-
boring more than fifty were highly
entertained at Rock and other games.
Their charming niece, Mrs. Ruth
Thomas, from st. Louis, who was
the guest Of honor, presided at the
punch bowl, assisted by Misses Vir-
ginia and Lulie Steger. Fruits and
candies were also served.
The house was artistically decorat-
ed with potted plants. Every face
beamed with pleasure, while all list
ened to the sweet strains of music
from the piano, rendered by Mrs.
Hugh Crenshaw, assisted by Mrs.
Dennis Carter, and last but not least
was the awarding of the prizes to Miss
Lillian Major and Mr.. James Nc
Knight, whom the judges decided to
be the "tackiest' alfred. The occa-
sion will long be remembered as a
charming event.

Mechanics in Medicine.

The value of mechanics in medi-
cine has been amply demonstrated and
the science of healing is coming to re-
gard with increasing favor the aid Of
fered by mechanical devices. The
physician, in private practice, finds it
incumbent to meet the advance made
by institutions and the result is that
the Office of the modern physician is
coming more and more to resemble u
machine shop, just as the hospitals
ana sanatariums are being gradually
converted into health factories.
