The following remarkable account cf the extraction of a needle from the Ix ly by meatus of a magnet ia given by Cosmos: "A younK laundress thrust a brr ken needle into her right hand while vva-sli-ing clothta. The needle having disap peared in the flejih, the surgeon whr VS8 consulted several days after the ac cident refused to perform an operation, fearing lest he should be obliged to make a largo number of incisions among the ligaiiienU of the articulation. Two mouths afterward the girl lost the use cf her right hand, and tho legist move ment of the fingers caused her exquisite pain. Drs. Gorinewski and Cerestiu tlien determined to extract the needle vith the aid of a magnet, drawin it Into u fleshy region where an incision could bo made without danger. To cause this movement they chose a very feeble electro magnet, but a diRiculty arose. The needle having entered point first, it would liave to lie drawn out backward, tho broken part in advance, "The first trial Listed two hours, with short intervals of rest, without appreciable results. Before the third trial the girl said that she felt a prick ing in the palm of tho hand near the place where tho magnet had 'been ap plied and where the needle ought to ap pear. At tho ninth sitting finally the needle appeared beneath the skin and tamo out whole, broken cud first, with out iain and without loss of bluod. It fixed itself to the pole of the electro magnet, and tho young lan.ulrts was cured. This result the drawing of a needle through the fies.h is very re markable. In 20 hours after the first trial this needle was extracted from tho inside of the hand, after lying there mere than two months. " Translation For Literary Digest. Writes Letters to Uimaclf.

A writer of etoriea about Barney Barcito says, in the Philadelphia Bul letin, that there is a circumstantially definite account of his presence in Paris during the commune of 1STI. Ia tho utter break up of all fecial fabric ho found bis ctipacitiiE of r".viEf? order. For there is little doubt that his was !he craft that enalled the prewder loruninnards to realize the money need ed to Burply the sinews of war. One day, during the gloom and stress of the government siege, the president of the Baak of France was confronted by an unkempt mob. The demand was explicit They wanted all thb gold in the bauk'a vaults. The spokesman flourished a bloody faber and the mob accentuated the demand by all sorts of ferocious threats. It was in the height of this melee that a man who had been counseling the financial deputy of the commune rode np, adorned ly a red sash a'ld ether insignia of the terrorists. He made his way through the vociferous th. m and handed the governor of the bank a large envelope. While the official was readiug it the besashed emissary turned to the clamoring nomads and, in a tongue unknown to the officials and probably to many of the mob, addressed them a few sentences. A singular event followed. A dozen of the ringleaders at once began haranguing the rioters. In a few minutes every one cf them with drew. The besaehed personage remained in consultation with the governor and when it was ended withdrew. An hour later six covered wagons came to the bank and were laden with bags snch as the bank always makes use of in trans porting spfcie. When Biiruato appeared as the dia mond king in South Africs a score of tbe communards, who bad fle3 from France, were in exile in the region where Baruato had cornered the mines. One day in the plenitude of his rZAu euce he was waylaid, riding in the Rand, by a company of miners. One of them, by a few words, succeeded in paining his private ear. Tbis man was known as tbe most ferocious of the blood thirsty pang who bad taken part in the kiiiing of the hostages in La Roquetto. He recognized Baruato as tbe emissary sent Ly the commune to the Bank of France, and the knowledge enabled him to get in on the ground floor cf the dia mond deal. The tale goes on to tell that Barnato, who figured as Felix Barnette, had fallen desperately in love with a figurante in the Fclies Bergercs just as the war of IS70 broke cut; that he had lingered in Paris, became a member of one of the "Red" societies, exploited tbe ardent patriotism cf his coworkers and succeeded in getting several mil lions of the cash he had forced from tbo Baiik cf France. The tale, whether true or not, is by no means so improb able as the actual facts known in the man's mastery of the African diamond yields, for to do that ho was forced to put himself against such schemers as Cecil Rhodes . and to coutend with tbe "dour" shiftiness cf the Boers, and particularly with that astute old fox ITncle Krugcr. ARMY LIFE. Its Social Informality Constitutes On of Its Great Charms. "Army life is informal to a degree," said Mrs. Custer, during a recent inter view. "The custom of using cards when calling is only cf very recent date among officers' wives. When I lived in garrison, we should never have dreamed cf such a thing. It is only at a few cf tbe larger posts, near the cities, where tbee is anything liko the formality of civic life. The people in a garrison are like cue great family. Nothing that deeply concerns any member is a matter of indifference to the others, and the tpirit of pood fellowship is universal. In time of sickness the friendly helpful ness of the women for each other is shown strongly. Many a time I have known a uurLher cf women to detail themselves, in regular military fashion, to duty in the house of sickness at cer tain hours, relieving one another tbrcugil the day and night with abso lute precision, so that the eirk person should never be left without an attend ant "With all this close intimacy there is surprisingly little friction or ill feel ing. There are, cf course, at every post a few people who are disagreeable or hard to get along with, but they cause no more trouble in general than they do in their own households. They be long, we feel, to our army family, and thc;r shortcomings must be overlooked just as we should overlook tho faults of a h jsbund or brother cr sister No dis tinctions between rich and poor are ever observed. There is occasionally a question about calling upon Dew ar rivals, but it is Bolely on account of reputation and boner If there has been anj thing discreditable to the good f.aiue of an officer or his wife, tbe cir cumstances must be investigated before other families of the posi will calL" Philadelphia Times.

Causes superficially very diverse, but essentially the san.e in that they anise fniia e.tid still depend upnu a lack of lo cal politk-al capacity, have lron:ht the Mcditi-rraiier.u ard tho CaribK-aa, in our own ti::;e, to similar conditions, re gunVd a- cuantities of interest in t e sphere cf iiiteniational relations. What ever the intrinsi . value of the two bod ies cf water. La themselves or in their 6urr;;undincs. whatever their present contributions to the prosperity or to the culrure cf mankind, their conspicuous characteristics now are their political and military importance, in tho broad est seiiee, as concerning not only tbe countries that border them, but the world at large. Both are land girt seas; both are liuks iu a chain of conununica tien between an east and a west In both the chain is broken by an Uthmus. Bah are of contracted extent when compered with great oceans, and in consequence of these common features both present ia an intensified form the advantages and the limitations, politi cal and military, which condition the influence of se?. power. This conclusion is notably true of the Llediterruucau, as is shown by its his tory. It is even more forcibly true of the Caribbean, partly because the con tour of its shores does not, as in the Mediterranean peninsulas, thrust the P"ver of the land so far and so sustain cdly into the sea; partly because, from historical antecedents already alluded to. in the character of tbe first colo nists and from the shortness of the time the ground has been in civilized occupation, there does not exist in the Caribbean or ia the gulf of ilexico apart from the United Slate any land power at all comparable to those great continental suites of Enrope whoo strength lio in their armies far iuoro than in their navies. So faros national inclinations, as dis tinct from the cautiousaetionsof states man, can be discerned, in the Mediter raucan at present the sen powers. Great Britain. France and Its.'y, are opposed to the land powers, Germany, Austria and Russia, and the Litter dominate ac tion. It cannot be so in cuy near future in tl Caribbean, TheCariUtn is pre eminently the domain cf f u power. Captain A. T. Mahan, U. tv N., in Harper's Magazine. THE NEWSBOY'S DREAM. It Wu Ilia Idea of What Wonld B Ab solaUiy Ideal Conditions. The American tiew.boy can almost I be said to have created a genus for hini- i elf. If he has aiir, he has certainly created it, for of all the inhabitants of this plan t there is n lie who is so abso lutely independent, o thoroughly con fident of his own exertions. He bos a self importance, derived from his ability tc support or partially support himself, hich places him high above the rank of tbe crdirary pauiin, and he generally possesses what is far more important in any community ready money. He is the capitalist of our junior civilization, the Count Fsterhazy of newsboys' alley. He can play craps for money when othei boys aro constrained to pursue tbis de lectable amusement with only the mild er if more intellectual pleasure cf study ing the fluctuations of fortune, or, at most, hazarding cigarette pictures. He may swear a little more than is necessary, but in general is not half bad. His train of thought is usually her lthy and vigorous and has a robust ness born cf the outer air in which he spends so much of his time. Physically he is agile and almost tireless. While apparently reckless in most things, be is, on the whole, careful of his health be is scarcely ever known to smoke a whole cigarette at a tima His intellect is as keen as a razor. He keeps it con tinually honed od the strop of experi ence. Everything carries for him a les son. From the sale of tbe largest Sun day paper to that of the most unpreten tious weekly there is nothing he does not profit by. He is a bcrn statist, a self educated strategist He has the nice art of going far enough and yet never overstepping himself. On the eve of such an occasion he will vociferate, "All about the eleo tion," but don't ever expect of whom until you buy tbe paper. Pleasure and other things occupy a fair proportion of bis time, but with him the distribution of news is always uppermost It even permeates his sleeping hours. One of them was heard to remark between sale? to another a day or so ago, "Say, Jim, I bad de finest dream I ever had las' night" "Was it about angels?" inquired Jim. "Naw," was the contemptuous re flponse. "I dreampt dat der was a aw ful smashup, six fires, four doubl mur ders an tree suicides, all in one day. " Chicago Times-Eerald. THE FAMOUS GIN LAW. Bow It Was Receive! and traded by tbs English Public This famous "gin law," passed in 1736, is interesting as the earliest se vere blow at liquor dealing among civ ilized nation:-!. It levied a tax of 20s. a gallon on spirits, and a license of 50 for any one selling tr dealing in them. And, being in advauce of public opin ion, it failed, Liuch as other more stringent prohibition laws have failed in our own day. For tho cry was at once raised that it taxed tbe poor man's pin and let the rich man's wine go frea Every wit, every caricaturist, bad his fling at it Ballads were hawked around telling of the appratcbing death of Mother Gin. The liquor shops were bung with bl?ck and celebrated uproariously lime. Geneva's lying in state, ber funeral, Ler wake and so on. The night before tbe law went into effect, so the contemporary journals say, there was a universal revel all over the country. Every one drank his fill and carried home as much gin be sides as he could pay for. To evade the law apothecaries sold it in vials and small packages, some times colored aud disguised, generally under falsa labels, such as "Colio Water," "Make Shift," "Ladies' De light " There were printed directions on somecf these packages e. g., "Take two or three spoonfuls three or four times a day, or as often as the fit takes you." Informers were very prominent and exceedingly offensive, inventing snares to catch lawbreakers fcr tho sake of the heavy rewards, aud spying and sneaking around in a way particularly distasteful to the English mind. In con sequence tbey suffered in their turn. The mere cry, "Liquor spy!" was enough to raise a mob in the London streets, and the informer was lucky if he escaped with a sound thrashing and a ducking in the Thames or the nearest horse pond. Indeed, such an outcry was made about the matter that the minis try became very unpopular, and the law waa not enforced after two or three years, aud was largely modified in 1T43, after seven years' triaL Popular Sci ence Monthly. A Carious and Kara Book. The most curious as well as one of the rarest books known to collectors is the edition cf the Vulgate issued by Pope Sixtns V, some time between I5So and 1590. The book, as Disraeli describes it, "fairly swarmed with er rata. " So numerous were tbey that a number of printed paper slips contain ing the proper words were pasted over the blunders, aud this device proving ineffectual on account of the immense Dumber of mistakes, as many of the copies as could be found were called in and destroyed. Only a few remain, and the book with its paper patches com mands an extremely high price. Chalk. All chalk is composed of fossils.

Last winter a business woman's ex change was starU-d in Chicago under the management of Miss Virgiuia Dix on. It is simply a co-operation among business and working women to build up a fraternity for mutual nid in secur iag work and increasing ability of workers as well as opportunity. The business woman's exchange also real izes the necessity of finding other lines of work for many now struggling in the business world who are not fitted for it Many avenues for employment, as seamstresses, visiting milliners, visiting governesses, care of bric-a-brac, etc., can be opened up where many now struggling in the ordinary trades could make a better livelihood. All applicants at the exchange are tested before being sent out, and if not competent urged to take up something else. The clubs backing this oflee are the Ogontz, the Wildwood, the Ursula, the National Association of Women Stenog raphers, the Vassar Alumni association, the Progressive, the Mutual Benefit, tho Fellowship, the Jane, the Occident, the Mazzici aud tho Altura. When all the social clubs of tho city open for winter, they will send in much work, and mean while the vacation work of supplying substitutes is expected to support the exchange. When one department is well established, another will be opened, cn til as many fields of work have been covered as possible.

There is no trouble in getting good servants, and they watch aftei their employer's interests aud see thai he is cheated by noun other than them selves. Exchange.- Pleors and Wholes.
