A Penetrating Splinter.

The Carson (Cal.) appeal relates the
following singular accident {: Henry
Charron, a Canadian Frenchman, was
working over the anvil of the round
house the other day, when the man who
was working with him struck with his
sledge-hammer upon piece of red-hot
steel, from which splinter flew up and
pierced Charron in the neck just above
the collar-bone, sinking half an inch be-
low the surface. He had fortitude
enough to attempt the only relief pos
sible under the circumstances. He seiz-
ed the red-hot steel and tried to pull it
out with his fingers but he failed to
extract it then, and had to make second
endeavor, which was more successful.
He drew the steel out and took away its
form burnt on the line of his hand where
he had grasped it. The artery under
the collar-bone (sub-clavian) had been
reached and burnt into by the hot steel,
and as this was removed the blood flow
ed profusely. During the afternoon
Charron was lying in bed with no sign
of the puncture on his neck except an
infamed spot, where the steel had en-
tered. He seemed to feel no pain from
it except when he exerted the muscles of
his neck in moving, or when he breathed
heavily.

Stephen Girard's Memory.

"Stephen Girard," says writer in a
Philadelphia paper, chad remarkable
memory, seldom forgetting anything to
which his attention had once been
called. As an instance, when, in 1893,
his ship Voltaire was built, laborers
were scarce, on account of a fever
raging at the time, and Girard person
ally assisted his favorite carpenter,
Jimmy HUMPHREYS, il driving in the
copper bolts which held the breast hook
fastening in the bow. In 1912, during
the war, the Voltaire required repairing,
and it was Overhauled at Kensington.
1t was necessary to remove the copper
bolts which held the fastening, in order
to replace some wood work, and it be-
came necessary to know whether the
bolts had been riveied from the inner
or outer side. The same carpenter,
HUMPHREYS, was assisting in the repair
ing of the vessel, but was unable to find
the bolt heads. Girard, who was stand
ing near, smiled quietly, noticing which,
HUMPHREYS asked, rather jokingly,
Perhaps you know something about
them, sir 2 The old man laughed, and
said: Why, Jimmy, don't you remem-
Der that hot afternoon In '93, when you
and 1 put in those bolts ? The star
board ones are riveted from the outside,
and the larboard from the inside.
Through all the whirling memories of
that wonderful head, the old mans
mind had gone back to the simple in
cident of nineteen years before, with
perfect accuracy"

The Firm Of jaw Cooke l. Co.

The firm of Jay Cooke & Co. originated
in Columbus, Ohio. 1t received its con-
sequence in the early years of the war
as agent of the Government under Sec
rotary Chase for the sale of public Sc
curities. Under Secretaries McCulloch
and Boutwell,, this confidence was con-
tinued. Mr.. McCulloch, after his re-
tirement from Office, became a member
of the London branch of the house
under the name of Jay Cooke, McCul-
loch & Co. Under the present Admin
istration, it has continued to enjoy all
the advantages of its connection with
the Government. To it was committed
the first, and subsequently the second,
Syndicate, by which large profits were
given for exchanging per cent. bonds
into per cents. That the firm has en-
joyed large credit because of its actual
and supposed connection with the Treas
ury Department, is unquestionable. 1t
is strongly suspected that this credit
was abused in the sale of "7 $50 bonds"
of the Northern Pacific railway.

Infant Mortality.

During the year 1868, 3,19S children
under one year of age died by convul-
sions III England, the number of births
being 7S6, S5S-one in thirty-four. In
the same year the births in Scotland
were lie, 5l4, and only 312 infants under
one year-one in 370-fell victims to
commissions. This striking difference
in the mortality statistics of the two
countries is accounted for in a report of
the Scottish Registrar General by the
difference between the English and the
Scottish modes of rearing infants.
1.-THE English" he writes, "are in the
habit of stufing their babies with spoon
meat almost from birth, while the
Scotch, excepting in cases where the
mother is delicate, or the child is out
nursing, wisely give nothing but the
mothers milk till the child begins to cut
its teeth" The statistics of infantile
deaths from diarrhea may also be adj
duced as an argument in favor of the

DIR. WHIrMoRE, the medical officer
of the parish of Marylebone, London,
where typhoid fever has recently broken
out, has suggested the propriety of en-
joining the milk companies from selling
milk at present, as it is almost certain,
from evidence in hand, that the disease
has been occasioned by Impurities in
the water with which the companies
diluted their milk. There is no objec-
ton to adulterating milk in London, but
the adulterating fluid must not be of a
kind which gives rise to typhoid fever.

THE AGED PILGRIMS STORY.
BIZ MRS. NJ. A. KIDDER.


1 will not enter in;
III sit me down outside,
And tell you, if you'll listen, friend,
About My foolish pride,
And how my only son was lost
For the want of one true guide.
We had as fair a child
As ever blessed mans lot
A noble, loving, truthful boy.
But willful, sir, and hot:
bright and blooming passion-fower'
That beautified our cot.
/, in my blindness, cried:
The child shall choose his wav:
1 will not have his spirit curbed,
Or cloud his youths fair day:
Whate'er he asks, that to him give.
Nor force him to obey"
The swift years glided on;
Our darling grew apace;
But, alb the loving child was gone,
And had in his place
An uncurbed tyrant, all equipped
To run lawless race.
He has nearly run his race,
Aud gone we know not where
With base companions, long ago.
His mother died of care
And now, my friend, all can do
Is to follow him with prayer.
The old man ceased to speak,
And raised his eyes above,
Only to meet his listener gaze
Bent on him full of love,
And the look of anguish on his face
Did the pilgrims spirit move.
"My father. oh, my father,
Your pilgrimage is done,
The heartfelt prayers you offered up
Have heavenly answer won;
In me, rescued by saving grace,
Behold your long-lost son :"
The sire then entered in
To the cot with comforts rife:
He took his grandchild on his knee,
And kissed his sons young wife,
And remained an honored, happy guest
All the rest of his peaceful life.
