Clambering up in an agile manner
over the declivity 1n the rocks, he had
almost reached his goal, when he
either missed his footing or became
dazed and fell a distance of some thirty

He was picked up in an unconscious
condition and taken to his home, which
fortunately was near by, and medical
aid summoned. .
Dr. Huntington responded and it
was found that the poor little fellow
had sustained six ghastly cuts on his
head, one of which required several
stitches to close and the others were in
the main of a serious nature. He was
also severely bruised about the body
and limbs. '

' SCIENTIFIC AMPUTATION.
A Pallent’s Leg Taken 011’ with a. Whlrllng
3‘ ".00 Circular Saw.
At first thought, it doesn’t seem like
so much of a luxury to have once leg
cut off with a buzz-saw, does it?
Yet science, in the interest of suf-
fering humanity, is adopting the cross-
:ut or circular saw to the uses of sur-
gery, and so evident are its benefits
that the wonder is the innovation
was not thought of long ago;
The principle of the saw is much the
same as that of the familiar electric
excavating tool used by dentist, and
the advantages of its use are quite as
apparent.
The surgical saw' is mounted on a
flexible shaft like that of the dentist’s
machine, but of course more powerful.
A handle enables the operator to direct
its course, and by the use of an offset
it can be made to saw parallel with the
shaft. It is noiseless in every part,
except when in use.
The method of operation with the
power saw will presumably be some-
what as follows: The patient is laid
lipon the operating table, etherized
and covered with a White cloth, except -
:he part to be operated upon. The
law, which has been treated aseptical-
'.y to avoid the slightest danger of
blood poisoning, stands with its elec-'
.zric motor at the foot of the table.
The limb is tightly ligatured, and the
; w—zztl—it'ls all over.
By the old’ method a tiny hand-saw
was used. Inevi-tably as it was drawn
ind—pushed back and forth it disturbed
Izhe position of the limb operated up.-
ill-and lacerated the flesh-'more or
.ess. ,
The power saw will operate quickly
1nd without disturbing the steady po-
sition of the patient. 'Besides, it is
:lai'med that the heat generated by it
will sear the bone tissue and hasten
ahe process of healing by the important
first hour of vascular change follow-'
ng the. operation by the old method. -

WANTED TU HANG
“Tim” McCarthy Falls Down a
Flight of Stairs and-is.
Lodged in the Station
House.
Later He Attempts to Hang Himself with- a
Pair of Suspenders.
"Tim” McCarthy became intoxicated
on Saturday afternoon, with the result
that he was landed in the station house
by Chief Bradley.
The chief had previously warned _
him to take his “jag” off from the
street, and unfortunate "Tim” attempt-
ed to locate it at the top of a flight of
stairs on Wall street leading into a
fell from top to bottom, and it was then
that the chief gathered him in. Mc-
Carthy was in a semi-conscious condi-I
tion when landed in the cage. 1
It was very much in evidence though,
that he shortly after revived to the ex-
tent at least of trying to commit sui-
cide.
Shortly after the arrest Chief Bradley
and Officer Bartram went into the sta-
tion house and found that “Tim” had
taken off his suspenders and, making a
noose of them, had attached them to a
convenient rod in the cage, had put
the noose around-his neck, and made a
break for eternity.
When discovered he was black in the
face, but quickly revived after being
cut down by Officer Bartram.
This morning he was “let go” with a
severe reprimand from Judge Gregory.

A Daughter of the Revolution. \
Marlon thbs‘was a’girl thirteeh'
years old, living on a plantation near
Charlestown, during the Revolution.
when Tarlcton's red-coated troopers
were raiding that region. Her father,
who had been in the American army,
was crippled from his wounds, and
almost helpless.
One morning a slave rushed into the
room where Marion was spinning, and
in great excitement begged her to flee
to the swamp, for the troopers had al-
ready set the barns on fire and shot
down some of the negroes.
Hastily summoning the servants,
Marion had her father and the chil-
dren conveyed to a hiding place in the
neighboring swamp, and directed the
negro nurse to get the baby, a boy
two years old, and join them, while
she would get together a few needed
articles. As soon as the red coats of
the soldiers were observed approach-
g11g through the orchard, Marion slip-
ped out of the rear door and sped
away to her friends. _
Upon joining the frightened group,
our little heroine discovered that the
nurse and baby had not been seen by
anybody in the party. Without ut-
tering a .word she darted back along
the intricate path that led through the
lonely morass.
Upon emerging from the gloomy for-
est she beheld the house in flames and -
surrounded by the soldiers, while, fly—
ing toward her, and wringing her
hands in agony, came Aunt Dinah, who
sobbed out: “Honey, honey! is you got
do baby? Aunt Dinah jes stop one
minute ter go to de washhouse fo’ do
baby’s clo’ es, 1111' when she go back
de house all on fire! Oh, tell me.
honey, is you got de baby?”
The next moment a lithe form flash-
ed between the ‘ranks of dragoons and
disappeared within the structure, from
which greedy tongues of smoke and
flame were spitefully thrust out of.
doors and windows. Before the
startled soldiens had finished their
cries of consternation, Marion reap-
peared, bearing in her burnt, brave lit-
tle arms a white bundle, from which
a child’s frightened cry was heard as
the heroic girl once more rushed away
in the direction of the swamp. In-
stead of impeding her flight, the Eu-
glish soldiers swung their hats and
cheered her until the dark forest hid :

Cod Life-Saver Who Proved
A Cape
.Himself 8. Hero.
Circumstances singularly pathetic
surrounded the loss which befell the
crew of the Peaked Hill station, near
Provincetown, Cape Cod. Keeper At-
kins, of this station; was one of the
true and trusted veterans of the ‘serv- "
ice. But one stormy day in winter, af-
ter twelve hours’ exposure on the
beach, exhausted by futile efforts to
launch the surfboat, he and his crew
had the mortification of seeing the res-
cue they had attemped made by a; drew
of volunteers. It mattered not that
these had made no previous exertions,
that they come Ifreshand unwearied
upon the scene; Keeper Atkins and his
crew had to take from the community
what in {the staid, old-fashioned speech
.of the Cape, is known as the “seeding »
slur.” The keeper made no attempt to
answer his critics; but gradually, as
that‘season and the following summer
wore aWay, a settled look of deterrin-
nation became stamped on his face, and
his. bearing took on a. dignity almost
tragic. When, at the opening of the
next season, his wife, as he left his
home for-lthe station, begged him not to
expose himself to needless danger, he
repliedb
"‘Before this season is over I will
have wiped out the ‘goadlng slur.’ "
Reaching his station, he called his
crew about him, and informed them -
that, no matter at what peril, a. rescue
would be attempted at every wreck
within the limits of the station. '
That Winter a. storm of almost uno
precedented fury burst over the coast,
and a‘ vessel was swept upon the
Peaked Hill bars” A surfboat, launched
by seemingly superhuman power, put
out from shore. But neither despera-
tion nor even madness could keep a.
boat afloat in such a. sea; and when,
one after another, those who had
braved it were cast upon the beach,
three were dead. One of these was
Keeper Atkins. He had wiped out the
“goading slur.”
or such stuff are the heroes of the,
life- saving service. -—Gustav Kobbe, in

Paper Cartridges Used in the Civil War.
A New London man made an inter-
esting discovery the other day. While
rummaging in the garret of his house
he picked up " an old army knapsack
carried by his brother in the federal
army in the dark days 'of "61 to '65.
He opened the knapsack and found
within quite a number of wartime cart-
ridges, which, as all veterans know,
are quite different from those new in
use. They are ”paper cartridges, the
end of which had to be bitten 01‘: by
the man in the ranks before loading
his musket. A Day reporter showed
the cartridges to several army vet-
crane, and their eyes blazed at the
sight. They acted like they had just
been introduced to an old friend whom
they had not seen for many years.
One of the'ex- soldiers said the com-'
mands for loading in the days of the
war were as follows:
“Handle cartridge, tear cartridge,
charge cartridge, draw rammer, ram
cartridge, return rammer, prime,
ready, aim, fire.” At present this order
is: “Load, ready, aim, fire." The paper
shell is a. thing of the long-ago and the
brass shell has taken its-place, but ill:
- makes and old vet feel young again
to get his hands on one of those old-
timers, though as a rule the teeth of
the G. A. R. man would hardly stand
biting the paper end off these late days.

Influence of Telegraphyfa. . ’ '.-' I .I
“There are more free thinkers in ref.
ligious matters among telegraphersIas
a class than any other trade or calling
that I know of,” observed ‘a. prominent
electrician to a. Washington Star r.e«
porter, “and many of them grow to be
the most pronounced in their-views.
without being able to' explain it. There
is nothing about the tel-egraph'businhss
that is irreligious in any way. or
course, telegraphers have to work on
Sunday, but'so do printers, drug clerks,
railroad men and hosts of others, who, I
as a. rule, stick close to their early
religious training. There seems to be
something in the telegraph business
- that cuts men lose, as it were. It may
be from he fact that Morse, the invent-
or of the telegraph, was decidedly in4
dependent in his religious views, and
that his followers absorb his ideas
without being conscious of it. But the
fact that there are more. free Ithnkers
among telegraphers than in any other
calling, in proportion to their numbers,
is indisputable. This 'is no new or sud-
den discovery. It has always been so,
and though there have been a. number
of explanations given none of them-
have thoroughly explained as yet."
