The Fatal Shlrt.ButtOn,

DR.. Sander, physician of Elberfeld,
Germany, died from the effects of q
singular accident, which conveys it's
own lesson. One morning in 1874,
while dressing, he contrived in some
way to get shirt button between his
teeth. Unconsciously, while laughing,
the button slipped into the back OF his
mouth, and thence into the larynx. All
the exertions of his surgical friends to
remove it were vain.
It was ascertained that it sank into
the right lung, which soon became irri-
tated. Splitting blood ensued, and he
was himself looking forward to his
death as not very remote. ...
He removed to villa he had near
Frankfort-on-the-Main to pass his last
days in quiet. Here he was surprised
by violent tit of coughing, accompa-
MED by splitting of blood, in paroxysm
of which the button was elected.
His health rapidly improved, and in
a few months, regarding himself as
quite cured, he resumed his profession
al work and endeavored to gather up
the threads of his former practice.
But ere long unmistakable symptoms
manifested themselves that the lung
had not fully recovered from the pres
ence in it's substance OF a foreign body
for several months, and he gradually
wasted away and died.

A Lincoln AnecdOte.

In the very thick of the American
war there came to President Lincoln an
Illinois farmer in great state of excite
ment about a pair of horses that one of
Lincoln's Generals had requisitioned
for the war. The owner was, of course,
entitled. to compensation, but, some
how, it had not come. Going to the
President he told him his story, and
was rather chagrined to be told that it
did not lie with him to pay the money.
"Then," says the farmer, twill you not
undertake to write to the General and
see that the matter is settled properly ?"
Poor Lincoln, who never wanted a
story to help him in an emergency, was
ready for his visitor. "When was
rail-splitter," he said, "there lived near
us smart young fellow, the Captain of
a Mississippi boat, who could steer a
vessel over the rapids with wonderful
skill, as hardly any one else could. One
day, when he was grasping the wheel
with his utmost strength, at the most
critical point of the rapids, little boy
came running up to him in great ex-
element and said, sCap'n, stop your
ship, my apple has fallen overheard >"

6 Hazing'' in the British Army.

a few years ago q man named Royd
Joined regiment, and on his first even
ing among his new comrades was
drawn" That iseto say, he was visited
in his room during the small hours of
the morning and ordered to 60 down
into the ante-room for court-martial,
the charge against him being that he
had risen from the dinner-table while
an officer senior to him remained sit
ting. Royd, being of huge stature and
gigantic strength. stoutly:: resisted, and
eventually picked up the largest man in
the room, carried him out to the land
ing, and dropped him over the baluster
onto the tagged passage below. The
effect was magical, in an instant all the
hubbub was hushed, and the injured
man was raised. Fortunately the re-
suit was nothing more than a sprained
ankle and severely bruised hip. He
took it very quietly, and merely looked
up at Royd, who was standing near, and
said coolly: @In have you out for
this" Very possibly the newcomer
did not think much of the threat, but
his career was virtually over; at every
hour of the day and night did he have
cause to repent that hasty action, and
during the autumn maneuvers of that
year the climax came. It was in this
wise: On a pouring wet day, or night
rather, he had to visit the pickets, and
as, for some reason, he had no horse,
was compelled to do the rounds on
foot. On coming in after tramp of
some miles, thoroughly soaked and
tired out, he was ordered to visit yet
another outlying picket six or seven
miles away. Then was his tormentor's
opportunity; he would not permit him
to take a troop horse, thong Oh he him
self was riding. Tired, cold and wet,
this young subaltern reached the
picket; something went wrong, as did
his temper, and he swore at one of the
men. His fate was sealed. His senior
Immediately put him under arrest, and
he was told by the Colonel that he
must send in his papers, or undergo
trial by court-martial. OF course, he
left the regiment.-Lo7ado7a Society.

Nursing the Sick.

Some sensible person, who has evil
iently had experience in attending to
invalids, thus speaks of the Importance
OF decision and quietness in the sick
room:
/" Consult your patients wants, but
consult him as little as possible.
Your decision need not be very obvious
and positive; you will be most decisive
if no one suspects that you are SO at all.
It is the triumph of supremacy to be-
come unconsciously supreme. Nowhere
is this decision more blessed than in a
sick-room. Where it exists in it's genu-
ineness the suffe1e is never contradicted,
never coerced; all little victories are
assumed. The decisive nurse is never
peremptory, never loud. She is distinct,
it is true there is nothing more aggra-
waiting to sick person than Whisper
but she is not loud. Though quiet, how
ever, she never walks tlp-toe; she never
makes gestures; all is open and above
board. She knows no diplomacy or
f1aesse, and, of course, her shoes never
creak. Her touch is steady and en-
couraging. She does not potter. She
never looks at you sideways. You
never catch her watching. She never
slams the door, but she never shuts it
slowly, as if she were cracking nut in
the hinge. She never talks behind it.
She never peeps. She pokes the fire
skillfully, with firm, judicious penetra-
ton. She caresses one kind of patient
with genuine sympathy, she talks to
another as if he were we'll. She is never
in q hurry. She is worth her weight in
gold, and has healthy prejudice
against physic, which, however, she
knows at the right time how to conceal"

Wall Street, New York.

Across the island OF New York, in
1885, a wall made of stone and earth,
and cannon mounted, was built to keep
off the savages. Along by that wall a
street was laid out, and, as the street
followed the line of the wall, it was ap-
propriately called Wall street. It is
narrow, it is short, it is unarchitectural,
and yet its history is unique. Except
ing Lombard street, London, it is the
mightiest street on this planet. There
the Government of the United States
was born. There Washington hold his
levees. There Mrs. Adams and Cald-
well and Knox and other brilliant wom-
en- of the Revolution displayed their
charms. There Witherspoon and Jona-
than Edwards and George gWhitefeld
sometimes preached. There DR.. Mason
chided Alexander Hamilton for writing
the constitution of the United States
without any God in it. There negroes
were sold in the slave mart. There
criminals were harnessed to wheelbar-
rows and, like beasts of burden, COM
PEELED to draw, or were dashed through
the street behind carts to which they
we're fastened. There fortunes have
come to coronation or burial, since the
day when reckless spectators, in pow
dered hair and silver shoe-buckles,
lodged Dugan, the Governor General
of his Majesty, clear down to yesterday
at 8 O'Clock. The history of Wall street
is, to certain extent, the financial,
commercial, agricultural, mining, liter
airy, artistic, moral and religious history
of this country. Only few blocks
long, it has reached from the Canadas
to the Gulf of Mexico, from San Fran
cisco to Bangor. There are the best
men in this country, and there are the
worst everything, from answering
integrity to tip-top scoundrelism-ev-
erything, from heaven-born charity to
bloodless Shylockism.-Dr. Taln,age.

to perform Johns work while he was laid

Tom kept his word and took upon him

weeds down and the fences up; and 1t set
him to thinking of another garden, which
it was his duty to tend, and little by lit
