A Young American under treatment
by DR.. ewn-Sequard, of Paris. writes
home an account of that physicians ia
voritc method of Treatment, by the burn
ing ofthe flesh over the spine, which is
interesting in itself, and also as tending
to correct or modify greatly the preva-
lent conception ofextreme physical tort
ure as necessity of the operation. In
the first week of his undergoing the act
ual cautery, there werC four applications
the first in seven places along the back,
the second and third on the head and
the back, the forth on the head only.
In connection with this he took (eepa-
Tately1 sodidi of potassium and arsenic;
and subcutaneous injections of fatrophine
and morphine. The burning, ho pro-
eeeds to say, is not burning at all.
s'The instrument is Of plantinuna &. e.,
as to the tip), and is heated to white
heat in coal FIRE then It is applied
two or three times and Immediately put
back in the FIRE for the next application.
While red bot iron or platinum would
make terrible burn, there Is almost
no pain whatever when It is at white
heat. can't say there il no pain, for
at the moment of application there is a
censation almost like that Of burn !;
but the instant the instrument is rernov-
ed the feeling is gone, and there is no
sensation whatever afterward. There
is, of course, scar at each point, with
dry scab which wears of, leaving the
skin in Its original state. So that il is
really only drying Of the outer layer
OF the skin; there Is no rawness Of the
flesh. One has only to guard against
the rubbing Of the collar on one Of these
spots; otherwise there isn't the least
Inconvenience. The skin Of the head
heals still moro quickly, though il i
rather more sensitive; and, ia fact. the
senaitiyeDess Increases somewhat after
the first application, both on the head

believe no two good soldiers will

he Highest type of bravery IS that of
the mar who realizes the full extent OF

thrown so that their fragments scatter
death and wounds, and their loud hum

nervous tingling which always follows

peculiar cutting ofthe air made by half

the soldier The idea that the whole air

first caused by the impact OF bullet.
It is stunning, numbing, feeling, which.
for time overpowers the local pain of
the wound. In my own experience
single bucksh.it hear the hip knocked

acute pains and such muscular disturb

not stand erect. Soldiers have frequent

ofskin, sinew, or vein, from the veal,
and chop it very finely, with salt, pep
per, and very little parsley. The
mince should now be. made into the
shape Of cntlets; and ii you have the
proper bones, the effect will be so much
the better. The outlets must now be
egged and predetermined twice, fried

Thefeis now living in Perry County,
Tennessee, a wonderful curiosity In tile
person Of James Herner, the Yenne ssee
giant. He is.one of a family of eight
children, none of the rest of whom have
exhibited any unusual traits. At eight
cen years he was well grown man,
: six feet high, and weighed one hundred
and eighty po.nSls. At tweaityLone he
was six inches taller, and weighed two
hundred and ten pounds. Any growth
after that was not noticed, until he was
twenty -four years old, and then only by
the srnallness of his clothes, and he then
measured III his stockings six feet nine
inches. Since then-he is now thirty
one years of age-he has attained the
heigllth of seven feet nine inches, and is
still growing, this being an increase of
about two inches annually. Some years
}ie grows more and some less, but lii.
is his average. While he ought to
weigh At least 800 pounds, he only
weighs 223, be is excessively lank and
gRWky, and only possesses one quality
III large degree. and that is his ability
to walk. He thinks nothing of walking
from home to Linden, the county seat,
twelve miles distant, and back to dinner.
