The Chicago Telegraph aaja : Prob-
ablj the moat wondcrfbl pbcoomenoD
that Ins ever conic under the obtenrA-
tion of the medical fraternity of thia city
developed itself at the Montcalm Ilonse,
on Erie street, in the parson of a boy
utmed Herbert G. Schwarts. Herbert
is a boy of German parentage, though
boro near the town of Buckingham, in
Tama county, Iowa. The Schwarts
family consist of five persona, Mf. Cftrl
Schwarts, the father, being a mao of
some fifty yean of age. There are
four children, two girls and two boys.
Herbert being the oldest child. Mrs.
Schwarts has been dead several years.
Vt vastsiaAt* ASWl sir11 „ — ,
oCnWafTK senior IS « Ttrnior, Rtm wrti*iv
do, owning h fine prairie farm of 160
acres in Tama connty. Herbert has for
a number of years assisted at the farm
work, and was, until recently, a stout,
healthy and intelligent boy.
Last April Herbert and his brother
Frits we^c playing together in the farm’s
barti, having turned tha hones in after
a day’s plowing. At supper thnt evc<
ning young Schwarts complained of a
queer feeling in his chest, and corghed
considerable. Thinking that the boy
had caught cold, but little attention was
paid to the matter, and for the two or
throe succeeding days, though the cough
continued and he complained of an op
pressive feeling in the left chest, his fa
ther used the simple country remedies
for ordinary cold. These seemed to have
a beneficial effect, for the congb left him,
though be still complained of the singu
lar and unaoenstomed feeling in the
chest. t
In the latter part of April Herbert's
appetite deserted him, and he commen
ced to loose flesh to such on extent that
fVom a stout, healthy farm lad he dwin
dled down to nothing more than a living
skeleton.
Various remedies were tried. The
phyaiciaos wero of opinion that hasty
consumption had set in, and but little
hopes were offered of his recovery. In
the latter part of last month another sin
gular feature added itself to the afflicted
youth's distress.
The pain in the cheat became more
intense, coupled with a tickling, irrita<
ting sensation in the throat.
Every one gave him up. With a
last grasp at hope the father brought his
son to this city aud summoned Dm.
Charles A. Andrews and Earnest Solo
mon. At first both doctors agreed
that it was a case of hasty conauihption,
but on Friday morning, while Herbert
was undergoing one of hia worst parox
ysms of coughing, a light or intuition
suddenly forced itself upon Dr. Solo
mon. Requesting the boy's father to
assist him, he suspended the patient by
the heels near a window, with a strong
light down his throat. Without whis*
poring his suspicions or intententions the
doctor, with the aid of instruments,
made an examination of the throat, so
far as the eye could penetrate ; and bis
investigation was rewarded by a wonder
ful discovery. A foreign body was dis
covered partially implanted in the mu
cus membrane of the windpipe. Having
firmly seized upon it with his instru
ment, despite the struggles of his patient,
Dr. Solomon drew forth a germinated
kernel of wheat, with a growing stalk
seven and one-quarter inches long.
The stalk was of a brownish-red
color, while the tendrils of the germina
ted kernel wero massed in clotted b'ood.
A violent licmonhage ensued, that re
quired much trouble to check, but the
boy though very weak is now much bet
ter, and bids fair to rapidly recover.
Dr. Solomon baa preserved the wheat in
a vial, where hundreds of the curious
viewed it in his office.

Every woman (hat suicides has “lote
ty golden hair;*’ ercry trout is "a speck
led beauty;” every party is “the most
recherche affair of the scaaon;’ , every
lady is “beautiful end accomplished;”
dancing is always kept up “till the vreo
sma hours;” every newspaper we hat^,
is “oar respected contemporary;” every
man we know is either a Judge, Colonel
or Miyor.
An Infantile View.—This is the
view taken of it by an infant of St, Jo
seph Missouri:
Little Freddie was undergoing the disa-
greeabl* operation of having hia hair
cotpbed by his motherland he grumbled
at the manoeuvre.
“Why Freddie,” said mamma, “you
ought not to make such a fuss. I don’t
fuss and cry when my hair is combed.’’
•‘Yes,” replied the youthful party,
“but your hair ain't hitched to yonr
head. ”—Harper’s Magnainc-
The girls having altogether grown
weary of young Cupid’a partial dartj
hare taken the bow into their own hands,
and it behooves the young man to have
a care how he makes a target of himself,
lest the twang of the cord pulled by
dainty fingers, and the speed of the nr-
r jw guided by cyea that are more pier
cing than itself, shall mark one more
trophy of their skill, and perhaps—but,
of course, if any girl wants to shoot this
way we’ll move up so very near that she
will have no trouble in hitting the tar
get.
Apparently infinite are the uses of
electricity. The London bankers are
now using an electrical machine for the
detection of bad or light gold coins. A
stream of coins Is gently shaken down a
brass slide, and one b^e thejukR
upon a testing bar so delicately adjusted
that a slight deficiency will set an appar
atus in motion which jerks the bad coins
out at a side evcapc-holc while the good
ones pass into another receptacle. The
invention saves a good deal of time and
is correct to tbe minutest point, and the
royalty of $200 a year is not considered
exorbitant.
JL Sad Chapter.
Chester, Pa., June 22.—Somebody
who had a spite against Robert W.
Ramsdco, who runs a stage line between
Chester and Upland, set Are to his stable
this morning. The building was fired
in three different places. The flames
communicated to Mr. Ramsdon’s resi
dence, a handsome atone and brick cot
tage. The stable, wheelwright and
blacksmith shops were burned to the
grraud. Seven horses and two mules
perished In the flames. Six stages and
other properly wero destroyed. Ilad it
not been for the crying of their little
baby, Mr. and Mrs. Ramsden would
both have beqn burned to death. Upon
getting awake Ramsden at once rushed
out of the house, which was in a blaze,
to the stables, thinking to save his horses
He was not able to get far inside
the door, and retired terribly burned and
almost suffocated. Pain and fhght aud
the prospect oikis loa made the man
insane, and, After running for a few mo
ments, be fell to the ground in a swoon.
He lay insensible for a number of
hours ,and ,as|hia pulse bad stopped beat
ing, be stm thoaght to ba d«* His
wife with nothing on but her night cloth
ing, escaped anbarued, with ber baby
in her arms. When she was spoken to H
was found that she was out of her mind,
and at last accounts she was still in the
same condition. Ramsden has worked
hard all his life, mid what was horned
this morning represented his earnings
lor the past sixteen years.
Every now and then we hear of the
trial of a new sort of street car motor,
but very little is heard of it after the
trial is over. The horse is still mon
arch of all he surveys, as far as street
cars am concerned, in most of our cities.
Still there is a possibility that some one
will stumble on s street car motor that
will supply the place of the present no
ble steed. The latest trial was on the
Third Avenue Railway, in New York
city. The trial immediately preceding
this one of an engine run by compressed
air. The machine seems to have gone
to meet Keely’s motor. The present en
gine is run by steam. The motor, how
ever, does not make its own steam. The
stftm is supplied by stationery boilers
at the terminus of the line. A small
furnace under the boile r of the motor
keeps it warm and does not peimit the
steam to condense. Enough steam and
boiling water is put io the motor boiler
to last during two round trips. The
boiler is covered with felting and gives
out no heat. It is asserted that this
smokeless, noiseless, self-propelling car
can be run at about half the expense of
ordinary horse cars, and, if this is the
case, its universal adoption is only a
question of time.
