Unthought-of Results. | It is to bo hoped that no other lady will try the experiment by which a- resident of Oamaru subjected herself to grave personal discomfiture. Sho was of an. ingenious turn of mind nnd had 6omo knowledge of mechanical appliances, together with a great idea, of labour-saving methods. Having washed her lmir, this Oamaru lndy was struck by a happy thought. Whv not save tho time nnd Inborn- of drying it by utilising the wringer on (.he edgo of tho washing tub? A capital inspiration, she thought, and forthwith sho proceeded to give effect to it. It worke<l admirably un till n certain point, viz., till her head and the rubbers wimo in contact, and to the latter her hair clung tenaciously. Sho found it impossible to extricate herself from the entanglement, and cried with a loud voice for assistance. First aid was furthcoming, but even then there was a difficulty in separating tho hair from its mix-up with the wringer. She vows she will never icpeat the experiment. The Society of St. John.
