Swallowed ciaaret Holder.

Loo Va Lee, a Chinese boy of ten, was taken to the Shanghai hospital, q few weeks ago after swallowing il cigaret holder 21a inches long, 2s inches in diameter at the wider end and A inch at the lower end, with q linen band 1s inch in diameter. EX- animation showed that this object had lodged Tn his windpipe and that all his breathing was being done through it. An effort to get hold of the cigaret holder with forceps and pull it out failed, so the surgeon opened the boys throat. got hold of the lower end and withdrew it that way.

Q a n q you, said the Queen of the Fairies, who had come very early one morning to pay a call on the Barn Swallows.
 A number of the other fairies had come too.
 "I think you are very modest" said the Queen of the Fairies, flor you build very clever nests. They are so we'll put together"
 We're glad you admire them," said the Barn Swallow, flor we always like to build the same kind. We don't like to change the style of building.
 People do that but we don't. You know, one year they talk about their old Colonial styles and then another year they speak of brick houses, and then they talk about bungalows, and they are always changing.
 Perhaps that Is not quite true when I say they are always changing, for I suppose 1t is only once in a while that they change.
 "But what I do mean to say is that the style changes and with us the style never changes"
 Wont you tell me how you build your nest?" asked the Queen of the Fairies of the Barn Swallow who had been talking.
 Gladly" said the Barn Swallow.
 "We are all eager to hear, too" said the other fairies. "Yes, we are very anxious to hear, for we have always admired your nests too"
 Tt is good of you all to say kind things to us," said the Barn Swallow. "I always like to hear pleasant things and after all I think everyone does, birds or people"
 "Of course they do," said the Fairy Queen, "and I've been telling the Fairy Wondrous Secrets that she might get some of her helpers or workers to do up some packages of that secret.
 For it seems to be secret.
 "So few seem to know how much happier 1t makes creatures to tell them the pleasant things about them. A little deserved praise never hurts any one; it never does, I'm sure"
 And I've also asked the Fairy Won ! drous Secrets to put in a little word or two about how much we can all do if we are encouraged and thought well of rather than scolded.
 "Yes, we can all do better for those who think we're capable of doing bet ter.
 "But continue about how you build your nest"
 "We make our nests in the shape of a very deep saucer as you can see and as you have seen. We take and roll it up in little balls, just as build CTS have their pieces of brick to put into a house.
 "Then we must get those balls of mud fastened together, and we dampen them or moisten them so they stick together. And then we line our nests
