' S Man Who Had Carried 1; Bullet in His Brain for Many Years Is Neatly and Quickly Relieved of the Burden. - George llegner, a man who lived for 14 years with a bullet dangerously near his brain, ”had that bullet taken out the other morning by Drs. Bernays and Nietert at the City hospital, St. Louis. He not only survived the delicate op- eration, _but will completely recover and be rid forever of the excruciating headaches from which he suiferedever since he fiied the bu let into hisbrain in an attempt to kill himself for love’s sake. L The operation by which the leaden ball was removed is as rare as it is deli- cate, and without the X-rays would probably have been impossible. The exact locationof the bullet was estab— lishedflby means of a 20-inch range. The bullet was found to be 11/2 inches internal-to ’and behind the external angula process of the frontal bone. In other words, it 1121s imbedded almost directly behind the right eye. In order to reach it, says the St. Louis Republic, a hole had to be drilled through the frontal bone by way of which the bullet could be extracted. Dr. Bernays drilled that hole in less than 1.3 minutes, and a minute'later the doct01 ‘s forceps held the ball. Or- dinary surgical instruments 11 ere used for this operation. ' The ball was found to have been en— cased in an abscess of virulent matter. This was washed out after the bullet had been removed; then the wound was antiseptically treated and sewed up. Altogether the operation lasted just 25 minutes. Mr. Regner came from under the' 1n- fluence of the chloroform with a clear mind and minus the peculiarly dis- tressing headache which had evidently been caused by the accumulation of the abscess matter around the ball. The doctor’s probe, in extracting the Math \1 1’ , W‘E‘J'w ' ‘ 5.; W LOCATIOI; OF BL LLET. (Diagt am Showing Course of Operation in, Search of It.) to his ey,e about an inch above the optic. It was surprising to the doc- tors performing the operation that the eye had not been injuied by the accu- mulation of the pus with which the bullet was surrounded. But for this timely operation, the optic would sure— ly have suffered, and probably have been entirely dest1oyed in due time. The patient is 52 years old and lives at 825 North Sixth street, St. Louis. He shot himself in 1885 in a fit of despond- ency over a love afi’air.‘ Physicians would not probe for the bullet then, because 'they believed that it had pene- trated to the base of the brain, and that- such a proceeding wow-Kl prove fatal. At first it was not believed that the suicide would recover, and he lay insensible for? several days. When he finally recovered, to the as- tonishment of the doctors, who watched with inte1est the case of a man living pith a bullet in his brain, Regner com- plained of constant headache. The doctors said it would pass away in time. It did. but it came back at short in- tervals. and in the last few months was Regner‘s daily companion. When he could stand it no longer, he applied to Dr. Nietert for examination, with the result here stated. ‘i Streak of Good Luck. One of the most famous mines Leadville was the Robert 1511:1312 ts promise was discovered Win. 11 the vein or deposit was first struck, but for . some reason or other people did not take kindly to it, and the o11ne1s tried in vain to sell an interest. A gentleman who happened to have a few hundred dollars was besought to take a third of it for $300. He studied the matter and, deeming the venture too risky, declined. ' he Lee was a pockety mine and some of the pockets contained rich ore. To effect a sale the owners wa- gered that they would take $1,000 worth :01" ore out of the mine in 24 hours. [Ely great good luck they discovered a few rich pockets and won the bet. After this there was no difficulty in selling the mine for $1,500.000.

I mounted invalids are recommended. to begin on the juice of half a dozen nuts a day, the dose to be increased ac~ cording to the patient’s inclination. And the invalid is yet to be discovered who does not develop a taste for it so rapidly that in a week’s time half a dozen nuts at a single sitting will hard- ly satisfy him. .1 Each full-grown nut contains nearly a pint of this true “fountain of youth'.’——the same, per- haps, which the old Conquistadores sought vainly far and wide, expecting to find it gushing out of the earth in some sequestered spot, instead of hang- ing, green and beautiful, everywhere overhead.

'11-1 11 A HOME ON- WHEELS Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Have Spent Twenty Years of Married Life in 11 Railroad Car. , Twenty years of happy married life in a railway carriage is indeed a unique experience, says the Golden Penny, and it is not going too far to say that there is only one couple in the world who have spent that number of years to- gether under such conditions. They are Mr. and M15. P. H. Dudley, who have traveled all over every railway of note in America in what is undoubtedly the _most remarkable car ever constructed. The car contains a. cozy parlor, bed- room, library, kitchen and workshop. It is known as the “Dudley” car and is about the same size as the ordinary HOME OF THE DUDLEYS. (For Twenty Years They Have Lived in the Car Shown Here.) passenger coach mounted on the usual four-wheeled truck at one end and a six-wheeled truck at the other. It is said to have cost $50,000, including the cost of the machinery. The machinery is used for the pun pose of detecting defective flaws in the rails over which the carriage passes. The car is made to the standard Amer- ican gauge, so that it can be hitched on to the ordinary train when neces- sary. In this way it. has traveled over nearly every railway in the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Mrs. Dudley is a pleasant, busy wom- an, fully engrossed in her husband’s work and he1 car home. She has many accomplishments, and time always passes very pleasantly with her. She is very fond of astronomy and has also devoted much time to drawing, while she also sketches and paints in water colors, and some of the pictures which adorn the walls of the carriage are from her own brush. Mr. Dudley is the inventor of many devices for measuring and recording the undulations of railway rails, the departures from uniform gauge, the strength and uniformity of cross ties, the evenness of joints, the stress on rails of moving loads, etc, which is all done and accurately tabulated on his wonderful machines. He' is attached to no particular company, and every large railway company in America engages him to inspect its railway beds and compile his automatic records. CHAPLAIN STEWARD.

Chaplain Steward is a nati1e of B1 1d1reton, N. J., and traces his descent 011 his mother’s side from John Fen- wick, one of the lords proprietors, who settled at Salem, to which he gave its name', in 1065. The chaplain was edu- cated at a divinity school in Philadel- phia; Besides being a good Greek, Lat- in and Hebrew scholar, he also speaks German and French fluently, and was at one time stationed over a church in Port- au-I’rince, Hay ti, where he pieached in French. “A Charleston Love Story,” a work of fiction from his pen, is now in press.

They were waiting for the 5:45 p. m. New York train—five Italian boot- lblacks in 11 group onthe platform of Mamaroneck station, says the NEW York Commercial Advertiser. Why there and in such numbers with only himself—taking the season by the fore- lock for summer board—the passing stranger could only 11 ondcr idly as he watched them seated in a diit" but at- tentive semicircle, cachon his 111 lacking kit, before the eldest of them, a well- grow 11, handsome lad of about 1.3. He was seated flat upon the sta- tion platform, braced against the 1v arm red brick of the station 112111 a pie- turesque figure, picturesquely occu- pied. He had cut a branch from a tree and had fashioned it, dexterously enough, into that first of all musical instruments, a shepherd’s pipe.
