Two Heroes Meet.

Two heroes, who had met, suffered and
nearly died in the Andersonville prison
pen, encountered each other in street
car IN Peoria, ILL.,, one day last week.
SIS your name Jones?" asked a stranger
who had just mounted the platform,
Selling the driver by the arm. Eyes, -
said the driver.
~ thought sol" exclaimed Veteran
January; ~ knew you at Andersonville
As the two men stood and looked at each
other after Is years, there were tears in
their eyes. No wonder! When they
were in the pen they suffered all the ag-
onies Of the damned. January had no
clothing savea thin cotton shirt, and his
feet fostering with gangrene. He begged
the surgeon to amputa'e them but no at
tention was paid to his appeals. The
wretched prisoner finally performed the
surgical operation himself with a pair of
scissors, hacking off both feet at the an
kles binding the wounds with his cotton
shirt and exposing his body to the sun.
Jones' wardrobe consisted of pair of
ragged pantaloons, and when wrist was
attacked with gangrene he was sent to
the hospital, where he met January.
The two men lay together for weeks but
finally recovered. One Of them broke
away and aided by southern woman
escaped to the Union lines. The other
made his way North at the close of the
war. Es 49, -

Sleeping Draughts.

An English doctor, writing about sleep
and sleepliness, observes that the sta te
narcotics produce is not sleep, but a con-
dltion of narcotism that counterfeits sleep
adding: "When man says, II want a
quiet night, I will take sleeping draught,
he speaks in parallels. To express the
fact plainly he should say, Il want quiet
night; l cannot obtain it by going to
sleep, or am I afraid to trust to the
chances Of natural rest, SO I will poison
myself little, just enough to make me
unconscious, or to slightly paralyze my
nerve centers, not enough to kill" If
this fact could be kept clearly before the
mind, the restless use of drugs which pro-
duce state that mocks sleep would be
limited The state of inaction which
is brought about by natural sleep is very
different from, that which is produced
by paralysis of any degree :

Wounds in the Heart.

Wounds in the heart are commonly
supposed to be instantaneously fatal, but
such is not the case. Indeed, it is not
possible except by some extreme violence
such as dynamite explosions to blot out
human lite instantly. Keeper Goods
pistol ball went right through the heart
Of Barrel, the Sing Sing convict, yet he
lived four minutes. Portecello's knife
cleft the heart of Bolander completely in
twain, in New York, but he did not fall
dead upon the spot. The instinct of self
preservation remained, and even that
horrid wound had not deprived him
the strength to obey it. He ran first to-
ward neighboring drug store, then
turned and run down Fulton Street, and
had reached point many feet distant
from the spot where he Was stabbed be-
fore he fell and expired. So O'ConnelI
who was stabbed by Nichols, at Nyack,
N. Y. though his heart was actually
cut in two by the stroke, ran several feet
after the wound was inflicted. A pune
ture of the heart is necessarily fatal, but
the victim is often conscious for two OF
three minutes, though generally without
much power of motion or speech, save
the first cry Of agony. This shows that
the brain can act even after the heart is
destroyed. On the other hand, the heart
continues to exescise its functions
after the brain has ceased all
action, as in case of death from severe
blows on the head. The hearts of GRIM
inals who have been hanged, generally
keep up their pulsations for twelve OF
fifteen minutes, although it is reasonably
certain, when the neck is broken, that
they can receive no nervous impulse
from the brain during that time. The
continued working of the organ is attrib-
utable to residuum of nervous force.
In the case of some animals this is suffici-
ent to keep the heart pulsating for an
hour after 1t has been taken from the
body. The common notion that the
heart is delicate organ is mistake. 1t
is, on the contrary, one Of the most TO-
bust. Its muscular strength is enormous,
and its tolerance of disease is something
marvellous. Men and women whose
hearts have been diseased from childhood
sometimes attain to ripe old age, and
many people with heart disease live fol-
years IN almost momentary expectation
of sudden death, and then die of some
other malady. Only few of the many
diseases to which the heart is liable are
inevitably and speedily fatal. Most OF
them, even of the organic diseases, are
quite incompatible with long life. As to
the functional diseases, or arrangement
of the hearts action without actual lesson
they are devoid of danger, though thell
manifestations are commonly more dis.
quieting than those of a serious organic
disease
