CScicntific American
Toy Pistols and LOckjaW.

On summing up the casualties of
our explosive holiday, the Fourth of
Jul y, the numbers of the killed and
manned rival those Of some battles
which have decided the fate of empires.
The majority of the injuries were
inflicted by the toy pistol, using blank
cartridges, the introduction of which
has been followed by a general epi-
demic Of lockjaw, particularly in our
larger towns and cities.
The toy is cheap contrivance of
cast iron, with barrel about two
inches long. It is breech loader, in
tended for blank cartridges, the pow
der being held in a metallic case either
by paper wad or by folding inward
the slashed end of the cartridge case.
There is no half-cock; the trigger
catch is roughly made, and there is al
ways danger Of an accidental discharge
when the hinged barrel is being re-
turned to place after the insertion of
the cartridge. At such times the bar
rel is held in the left hand, and the
discharge inficts an ugly wound in
the palm. Other wounds are inflicted
by the paper wad, or by fragments of
the cut end Of the copper cartridge
case, which are shot off with consider
able force. In other cases buck-shot,
gravel, nails, or other missiles, placed
in the barrel by needless or malicious
urchins, have caused severe, sometimes
fatal, injuries. The more serious
wounds, however, are usually caused
by accidental discharges, the powder,
wad, or copper fragments entering the
lacerated palm, and so injuring the
nerves that lockjaw is the result.
There were seventeen fatal cases Of
this sort in Baltimore on the Fourth
Fifty cases were brought in for treat
ment in three hospitals in this city,
with eight or ten deaths; and there is
no telling how many cases were under
private treatment. Other towns ap-
pear to have suffered proportionally
except Philadelphia, where, in conse-
quence of fifteen fatalities from toy
pistol wounds last year, the use of the
weapon this year was suppressed by
the city authorities.
Other towns will do we'll to follow
the example Of Philadelphia. Parents
are often ignorant or careless, and a
five or ten cent pistol offers irresistible
attractions to many boys. In antici-
patton Of next years celebration some
means should be adopted to prevent
the manufacture, sale, and use Of such
murderous playthings. Even the use
of the pistol-shaped device for snap
ping paper caps should be stopped.
No harm can result from them direct
ly; but the habit which children ac-
quire of pointing such things at each
other in fun, is not conducive to care
or caution in handling real pistols.

A Grand Governor.

Governor St. John, of Kansas, is a
live man, and one whom the people
delight to honor. In recent letter
written by him, he makes mention of
the laws Of that State prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquors. He
says: "That many of the whisky deal
ers in this State are moving to Kan
sas City, Mo-, is true; but for every
saloon-keeper that goes out Of Kansas
on account of our prohibitory law, a
sufficient number of sober, industri-
Gus, energetic, families come into the
State to build a school-house, and
Kansas can always afford to trade her
saloons for school houses, and drunk
enness for sobriety. That part of the
letter which alleges that the law in
terferes with the free and unrestricted
sale Of tinctures or compounds that
are used solely for medicine, is not
true, nor does the law directly or indi-
rectly interfere with the right to ad-
minister or partake of wine at COM
munion services. All such stories are
instigated and circulated by the
whisky ring in order to break the
force of the prohibitory law in this
State, for the advocates of free whisky
we'll know that when it has been
thoroughly tested and proved, which
it will be, that prohibition in Kansas
is a grand success, other States will
follow our example, and eventually
the policy of prohibition will be
fundamental law of the United States.
Notwithstanding the law does not
take effect until the 1st of May next,
already the saloons have closed in
most of the interior towns Of the State,
and after the 1st Of May we will not
have an open bar in Kansas-nor will
Kansas ever again be guilty of the
sanction Of law to that which every
body knows to be wrong"

Examiner and Chronicle.1
Points Worth Heedjng

l
There are some features in connec-
ton with the attempt on President
Garfeld's life which ought to be
marked with special emphasis. They
contain lessons of practical and per-
manent value.
First of all is the perfect physique
and wonderful will of the President
himself. His heroic bearing through
out has been such as to compel the
admiration Of two continents. That
bearing was made possible by his
physical manhood and will power.
By physical manhood essentially, be-
cause no amount Of will power alone
could have carried weakened consti-
tuition through the shock and result
tant nervous prostration of such a
wound. A weaker man physically
would never have survived the first
twelve hours. A weaker man in will
would have succumbed under the
strain Of mental anxiety. To receive
such hurt and live, required that
perfect combination of bodily, mental
and moral soundness which President
Garfield possessed. His was consti-
tuition impaired by no excesses. In
his eating and drinking, as in all his
habits, he was and had been from his
youth up, a thoroughly temperate
man. His abundant vitality and
strength made him capable to do an
amount of work that would have
killed other men, yet without serious
detriment to his powers. He had
borne all the strain and worry Of a
long campaign, and the carking cares
of succeeding months in his high
official position, together with the
added burden of domestic anxiety, yet
on that morning when he drove to
the depot with Secretary Blaine he
remarked that he had never felt better
in his life, was ready to be a boy again
among his college mates, and was
fairly overfowing with life and
spirits. And it was this sound physical
self that presented an unwonted OBJ
stacle to the would-be assassin's ball.
Then that indomitable will! what
are the chances, doctor? Don't be
afraid to tell me- | am not afraid to
die" "One in ten' ''Then we will
take that one.'' No wavering of the
determination to live if God would
have him live, to be content if God
would have him die. 1t was a
struggle thenceforth Of endur-
ance, and there was no faltering.
Pain that racked the nerves, the
tigers claws" that clutched and tore,
these could not shake that calm will
that was wrestling with the powers of
death. And if the President RECEIVERS
wholly, as there seems now no reason
to doubt so far as human foresight
goes, it will be one Of the most nota-
bic triumphs in all medical history of
physical endurance and will power.
What splendid example the Presi-
dent has set young men in his habits
and mode of life. What an inspira-
ton there is to all men in such COM
plete physical, mental and Christian
manhood as this!

A Pathetic Scene in a Brooklyn Tene-

A Pathetic Scene in a Brooklyn Tene-
ment-A Babe Dying i'm its Brothers
Arms.
Early yesterday morning, on the
second floor of the tenement at 78
John Street, Brooklyn, a policeman
found Bernard McClaney and his
wife Ann, both on the floor helplessly
drunk, and six ragged children scat
tered about the room. The oldest
child was twelve years of age, and the
youngest was clasped in its fathers
arms, and seemed to be dying, but the
father was too drunk to be aware of
its condition. The policeman called
in one Of the neighbors to look after
the family while he went to the police
station. Upon his return he found
the eldest boy walking about the room
with the baby in his arms. He said
that it was asleep, but the policeman
found upon taking it up that it was
dead.
"Tain't dead" said the boy, II know
it's sleep, cause | sung it to sleep"
When the lad discovered that the
child was really dead, he sat down in
one corner and wept. The father and
mother recovered slowly from their
stupor, and seemed unaffected when
told that their child was dead
The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children was notified to
care for the other children, who were
half starved. The father and mother
have for long time been addicted to
drink.-N. Y. Sun.

Success.

He who is soonest checkmated; he
who, Judging by what is seen merely,
comes by the earliest, most disastrous
defeat, may in reality have won the
highest moral victory. Such are they
who in each age have ieopardized their
lives for the truth; those who have
been willing to lose life that they
might find it; who against the world
have stood for right, and in that con-
test have sacrificed themselves, and by
that sacrifice have made all future
generations their debtors. They had
for their reason, not what the world
calls success, but the sense that they
were servants of the truth, doers Of
the right, and that in doing it they
had the approval and sympathy Of

fully kept, is as a noble deed. In

To-day, August 1, 1881, is the day
set by DIR. St. Simon Peter Munger
for him to take future matters into
consideration, having made great prep
arations for the event for some time
past.
The Doctor is now an inmate Of the
City Infrmary, having been there for
several months. This man imagines
he possesses controlling influence
over all other beings, and has had
taken photographs Of himself while
attired in his royal costume, and on
the back of each photograph is the
following:
''Dr. st. Simon Peter Munger, Eli
jah the Prophet, the Second Moses,
the new law giyer into eternal life,
Christ Jesus the second time in flesh
without sin unto salvation. Before
entering the Infrmary he denominat-
ed the Paris of America as the valley
of dry bones, and here he chooses his
site to-day for the establish hment of
his throne. Here, comfortably seated,
he will select one hundred and four
and-forty thousand virgins with trim
med lamps. He spoke of wall sur
rounding Cincinnati, Newport, Gov
ington and Temperanceville.
He has ordered hat for future use,
the summit Of which will be adorned
with seven pinnacles, the center one
bearing the flag Of theocracy. The
tile proper will be painted in seven
colors and adorned with gilded stars.

hat, is to have seat at the left of the
