Story of a Bod Quill.
Tlio ladies of MUUllcton N. Y., hntl do
cldoil to pi'CHOiit a line quilt to their pastor,
tt wmi to be nil Autngrnph bed quilt.
Every old, young, married, and umnimlod
womnn of tlie oongrogiUion wan to donate
a fragment of some wearing mnterlnl from
which the quilt was to bo made. Then the
nutngrnphs of nil the dnnorn or anybody
else who oluwe to contribute the small aum
of one dime waa to be nkllfully wrought
on the patches tu mauy-ciilored Bilk, by the
needles of the fairest of the Hook. Work
whs brgun on this wonderful quilt two
month ago. Long before It was finished
the question of who should have the hon
or of presenting it to the pastor was the
leading one for discussion at the mectlugs
of the Indies. When the quilt was com
pleted, week before last, the qucBtlou was
still undecided. Two prominent young
ladieB were rivals for tho honor. Finally,
to settle the matter without creating un
slsterly feeling and making the quilt n
stumbling block, It was concluded to do
oide by lot who should place tlio quilt in
the pastor's bands. The plan was to hold
a social, at which the drawing was to take
place. Chances were to be sold at ton
cents each, the proceeds were to go to the
church fund. Whoever should draw a
ticket Inscribed "Quilt" seoured control of
the privelege of presenting it.
The social was held a fevr nights since at
the house of Brother William Davy.
.Everybody was there. The quilt, gorgeous
la coloring and remarkable as to auto
graphic inscription, was prominently dis
played. There was great excitement over the
taking of chances. The two young ladiea
were supported by their respective friends
and almost every chance sold was placed
in the name of one or the other of them.
Old Uuole Tunis Wood, who lives near
Centreville, was passing Brother Davy's
house about 0 o'clock on tho night of the
sociable. He beard the sounds of merri
ment within. He knew It was a public
gathering, and the purposo of It. He went
1.
Uncle Tunis was surrounded by the
young ladies and thoir friends at onoe.
Each besought him to buy a chance for
her.
" Can't choose betwixt ye," said he.
" I'll split the difference and buy a chance
for myself."
Ho bought one. Seven hundred and
sixty chances were all that could be sold.
then the drawing commenced. After
about four hundred tickets had been drawn
and the prizo ticket was still in the bat,
Tunis Wood's name was callod. He drew
out a ticket. It was marked "Quilt."
The old man had drawn the prize. He was
besieged by each young lady to lot her bo
his subBtituto in presenting the quilt to the
preacher.
" The preacher 1 , Qive this quilt to the
preacher 1 Well, uot this year, I guess.
' Ain't this quilt good enough for me? I
guoss no preacher don't git this quilt. I
won it, I reckou 1"
And the old man took tbo quilt and went
home with it. A committee followed him
to tell him that be didn't seem to under
stand the object of the drawing. He said
that be thought he understood it very well.
Hinco then the ladies have visited him and
offered to make him a quilt exactly like
the one he drew if he would lot them have
that one. ,
"This un suits me to death," ho replied,
"an' I'm afeerd you oouldu'tgit them col
ors jist like that again. I wouldn't like to
part with it, ladies."
And at laab accounts neither pleadings
nor threats could iuduce bim to change
his mind.
A Very Strange Case.
A German named Axler died in tho
New .York hospital last week who had
been admitted two weeks previously. He
had had an attack of vomiting which last
ed three days, and about a woek before bis
admission began to have pains ail over bis
body. He thought be was suffering from
rheumatism, and it was to be treated for
that affliction that he wont to the hospital.
Ho was put under the oare of Dr. Moller
who found that the usual symptoms of the
rheumatism were absent. Dr. Moller sus
pected trichinosis and questioned the pa.
tient, who told him that be was a butcher
and had been in the habit of eating raw
pork. The next day Dr. Mollor extracted
a little muscle from the patient's shoulder,
put it under the microscope and found
trichinro in it. The pains of which Axler
had oomplained when admitted continued
for three days, and then left him with a
slight fever. A week before he died be
became delirious, could not sleep without
medicine, and he was unable to take any
nourishment. He gradually became more
and more exhausted and died on Saturday
last.
On Saturday a post-mortem examination
was made by Professor Janeway and Dr.
Moller. The various muscles were full of
trichimo and a mother-worm was found
in the intestines, its body boiug full of
young which bad not yet been discharged,
in one grain of muscle fifteen trichina)
were found, and Professor Janeway and
Dr. Moller estimated that there were fully
50,000,000 or them in the body. Dr. Moller
aid that trichinosis is very hard to diag
nose. It is a tare disease, for people have
been so often warned against it recently
' that tbey now cook their meats thoroughly.
