will be found to excel all others. The ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all
kinds of work without delay or hesitat. >n, its quidt fidelity, its
Superior Strength and Durability of Work,
are points that astonish and delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa

In proof of this assertion is the significant fact,

V Fearful Leap.
At the great lire iu.St. Paul last Thurs
day. two brothers, named Carl and Au
gust Mueller, who had a room in the Con
cert I lull building, were cut oft' l'rom es
cape by the rapid progress of the Humes
and smoke. They appeared at an upper
story window, seventy-five or eighty feet
from the ground. The St. Paul Pioneer
•says:
“The two brothers appeared to hesitate,
when they appeared at the window, and
some of the spectators cried out to them to
jump. The youngest was let out ot the
window first, the oldest brother holding
him by the hand, both being apparently
unwilling to part company in that trying
moment. Finally the suspended man was
drawn back into the building, as though
determined to remain instead of taking the
horrible risk of such a dreadful leap. An
instant after, however, a human form sud
denly came through the window, and for
a second was suspended in mid-air. The
horrified spectators shuddered and turned
away their eyes. A dull thud was heard,
and the mangled form of one of the broth
ers rolled apparently lifeless down the
steep declivity twenty-five or thirty feet
beyond where it first struck, where lie lav
motionless and groaning. The seeond
brother followed immediately after, aud
for the second time, within a moment al
most, the speechless spectators witnessed
the terrible leap, lloth the brothers were
carefully picked up and laid upon beds
which were quickly brought, and after
wards placed beneath the grateful shade
of a tree that was near by.
“As soon as it was known that two men
hud taken such a perilous leap the crowd
began to surge down the bluff to the point
where the men lay, and it was with great
difficulty that they could be kept a suffi
cient distance from the sufferers to give
the latter sufficient air. An examination
showed how much they were injured.
“Shortly after being picked up they
were taken to the residence of their broth
er-in-law, where a critical examination
showed that they had received injuries as
follows : Carl has two or three, ribs broken
on the right side, one, of which penetrated
the right lung, making a cavity through
which the air escapes when he breathes.
One side of his face is badly bruised, and
lie is otherwise badly injured. Yet the
phy-ieians think with good care he may
recover.
“The younger brother, August, suffered
a compound fracture of the w l ist, and re
ceived some injury to his spine, besides
severe bruises, lie is not considered fa
tally injured.”
