Case of Delaware Youngster Puzzlec

Mr. anil Mrs. Robert Phillips, win
reside near Lewis, Del., couldn't imag-
ing what was the matter with 18-
njonth-old Baby Phillips, who suddenly
cluinged from a little angel to a howl-
iiu:. maddened youngster, filled with
■ age at every one.
All efforts to quiet the baby were In
vain until one day Mamma Phillips
discovered the baoy had a large lump
on the leg near the knee. A lusty yell
followed the slightest touch and a phy-
sician was summoned.
When the doctor came he drew a
darning needle three inches long out
of the youthful Phillips' leg and baby
gave a sigh of great relief. Peace has
been restored in the household, but
every one wonders where tootsy
wootsy got the needle into his system.
SACRED ALTAR OF INDIANS.
Peculiar Memorial Now in Cemetery
at Utica.
A legend of the Oneida Indians, the
noblest of the nations forming the Iro-
quois confederacy,
has been handed
down from genera-
tion to generation,
and from camp-fire
to hut, and tells of
the Great Spirit,
who, pleased with
the conduct of the The Sacred Stone,
two brothers who originated the tribe,
sent to them a stone of very peculiar
pattern. They were told that this was
their altar, and that they should hold
their feasts and councils around it.
That it would, unassisted, follow them
forever, and that from it they would
derive their name. According to the
beautiful legend that is how they came
to be called "The People of the Up-
right Stone."
At the time of the advent of the
■ pale-face," the sacred altar rested in
a grove of butternut trees overlook-
ing the Stockbridge valley. When the
tribal relations were dissolved, the last
plea of the chief heard, and the camp-
tire extinguished, it still occupied its
silent and almost unnoticed site.
Shortly after, however, the proph-
ecy that it would follow the tribe in
all its wanderings was fulfilled. When
Uncle Sam removed the survivors of
the nation to Green Pay the stone was
raised with Indian ceremony and
pomp and deposited in Forest Hill cem-
etery. Utica, in 1849. Now. the only
existing memorial of a once mighty
nation, "whose origin no human
tongue can boast," it must remain
there under a compact for all time.
The one-time altar is said to be an
immense granite boulder, weighing
nearly four tons. The Four Track
News prints a pleasing article in con-
nection with this standing monument
to the Oneidas.

after a career of -t>2 years, was made |
in 11140 for King Charles 1. by the royal
watchmaker of that time.
King Charles 1 was beheaded two ,
years before his son Charles ll. wa- ;
defeated on and escaped from the field i
of Worcester.
It. is of the oldest watchmaking pa' - j
tern, being made entirely by hand, and
costing in its day a good round sum of ;

ornamented in beautiful pierced fili- j
gree work, anil there is an outer ease j
of copper with a handsome leather
cover, silver studded. The royal !
watch runs thirty-six hours with one ]
winding. Only one hand is utcd in
designating the time.
There is a silver bell inclosed within j
the silver ease, on which the hours arc |
struck. There is also an alarm at- I

Henrietta Cone of
35 West Twenty-
second street, New
York, makes it pos-
sible for her pet
eat, "Haggles," to
take her daily
promenade de luxe.
Miss Cone is very
fond of Haggles,
whom she found on
a i.ong Branch
steamer, and she
was much worried
over the opportun-
ity offered for ex-
ercise in a sixm-
floor flat.
The little idea
demonst rated in
the picture came to
her after a fierce mental struggle, j
and she is very proud of the invention. '
She calls it a "cat hoist." Unfortu- |
nately, she neglected to patent the d
achine for pumping bilge water out
of the holds of ships. The Instrument
was also used in the Delta for the pur-
poses of irrigation. Diodorus Siculus
twice refers to it In his writings. A
curious model of such an instrument,
probably of the late Ptolemaic period,
has been found in I-ower Egypt. It
consists of a terra cotta cylinder with
a sen w inside it. ten Inches long and
four and a half inches in diameter.
Near the center of the outside is a
band with eross-pieecs. These may
represent footholds and suggest that
the machine was worked after the
1 manner of the treadmill. Such screws
re probably made of wood.
