A Remarkable Case.

An accident occurred on Monday at Ramey,
Clarion County, which proved to be one of the
most extraordinary cases ever recorded in the
history of surgery or medical Jurisprudence.
James Gaupell, II French Canadian employed
at Ramey's mill, fell from trestle about
twelve feet to the ground After recover
ing from the shock resulting from the fall, he
was unable to move his head, and DIR. Ed
wards, attending physician, discovered that
the neck was dislocatei and some of the
bones broken; but it was evident that the
spinal column had not been severed. The
doctor reset and put the fractured neck
in position. and set about devsing means
to put 1t In place until the broken bones
and confused lgaments attain their normal
condition To this end muslin bandage three
inches wide was wrapped tightly around the
neck, and to ii were attached two lugs, one on
either side. To these a rope was fastened and
run over pulley fixed to the ceiling of the
room. A bucket was suspended on the other
end of the rope and in IL we placed various
weights, so that the patient can adjust the con-
trivance as occasion may require by simply
reaching to the bucket aud removing or adding
one or two weights. He remains in sitting
posture, and should any slight change of posi-
tion occur, the tension of the rope will still
support the weight of the head With thesb
appliances for his support, the unfortunate
man will have to remain practically in the
same position until the ilju cd parts become
united or death ends the case.-Pittsburyh

What a Little Girl Did.

AWAY back in the widest part of this
county, among the mountains and forests of
the sparsey settled town of Hardenburg,
place it takes week to communicate with,
not far from the little hamlet of Inverwood,
and near the place where Rev. ]. c. Beecher,
a brother Of Rev Henry Ward Beecher,
breaches, lives little Nellie Osborn, child Of
six years. Her father and mother were both
suddenly stricken with fever, being unable
to leave their beds. Living in an isolated
place, far from neighbors, and being
scantily supplied with the necessaries of
life at this severe and incement season,
with snow lying three or four feet deep
everywhere the situation may be imagined.
Little Nellie did all she could to alleviate
the suferings of her parents in every way. 1t
was bitter cold, their rude little house offered
poor resistance to the Winds the bed-covering
was not abundant, and the supply of fire-wood
finally gave out. The little girl took her
wooden playthings and tried to keep the Gre
going with them. Then she kneeled by the
couch of her sick mother and prayed: "Please,
dear Lord, send big, good man to help us. ="
Help came in the person of James McGavitt,
n lumbcrman Of the mountains, who found
the family In the condition stated, and afforded
prompt relief. Little Nellie became sick with
the fever afterward. Assistance has now
been offered by charitable lady of lrvington,
whose sympathy was excited by the child s
sacrifice of her toys.--KhlJstOn IN. " Letter.

The "BOgardus Surprise"

N'
REPRESENTATIVES, of the press, the
Mayor, two or three clergymen and sew
eral members of the Scientific Associa-
ton took sleighs at the City Hall yester-
day afternoon and drove out to Cass
Avenue to witness the workings of new
invention lately brought out by John
Bogardus, the same gentleman who in
vented the newspaper Office attachment
known as the "Bogardus Kicker.n 1t
took some little time to convince the
newspaper fraternity that the Kicker
was Just the machine which had been
looked for ever since newspapers began
to '.X" with each other, but this new
invention will be sold on sight. 1t is
called the "Bogardus SURPRISE" and is
very simple piece of machinery. 1t
can be attached to any sort of sleigh or
cutter in three minutes without the aid
ofany tool except q monkey wrench, II
is neat and compact, able to stand a
very heavy strain, and is furnished at a
reasonable price. i The object and
workings of the invention were clearly
seen within five minutes after the party
were on the ground. One was attached
to a cutter, the horse started off on a
trot, aud several children belonging to
the Clay School at once rushed for the
vehicle with the cry: "Here's hitch -
A boy about twelve years old had only
Just caught on when the "Surprise"
picked him off his roost, turned him end
for end, shook him till his teeth ratified,
and heaved him clear over the walk into
a snow-bank. 1t was just three minutes
from the time the boy was picked up
until he got breath sufficient to re-
mark:
"Oh! you think you've done it, don't

The next victim was a boy with a
quart of molasses in tin pail The
machine was given an extra pressure,
as the boy was strong and fat, and he
was. turned end for end three times and
pitched over the port.quarter in just
seven se6onds by the Mayors watch.
The pail of molasses struck hitching-
post and was scattered distance of
eighteen PAGES, as paced by one Of the
elergymen. In two minutes from the
time he was seized, the fat boy arose to
his feet with the remark Hraf E
"I guess I'd better walk the rest Of
the way home!''
In the course Of an hour the "Sur-
prise y was worked on fifteen different
boys, none of whom will ever hitch
on" again as long as he lives. Total
surprise and utter annihilation were COM
plete in every instance, and yet no VIC
tim received fatal injury.
Orders for fifty were given the invent.

"It is simply immense. shall now

Teaching Politeness.

SCHOOL boards in the South and
West are following the example of that
of st Louis, in requiring teachers to in
struct their pupils in i'etiquette.n
What is etiquette' 1t is suggested by
one writer that the boys be instructed to
salute the Mayor of the city by taking
off their caps on passing him in the
street. To this a democrat replies by
asking, "Why salute the Mayor rather
than any other mani" In SOME of our
cities, as they were governed d few
years ago, this question would have
been poser.
Let the boys do as they like about
salutihg the Mayor. We believe, how,
ever, that little instruction in what is
commonly called etiquette would be
both acceptable and useful to boys and
girls. Many of them would be grateful
for being told what to do and how to do
it.
There is best way of taking off the
cap; let the boys know what that best
way is. There is best way of girls ac-
knowledging and returning such an act
of politeness; let them know what that
best way is.
An occasional lesson in table-manners
would not be i'll bestowed in some of our
schools. i"D l
But the great lesson to be inculcated
is, that people should hare manners and
use them. 1t is not necessary to salute
the Mayor, but 1t Is grossly barbarous
for members of the same household, or
of the same class, to meet and part
without some exchange of kindly and
respectful greeting. The mere mode of
doing this has its Importance, but the
thing indispensable is to do it. 'i'i
BY all means let politeness be taught,
both by precept and example; and
more than this, good teacher should
unconsciously give lesson in this love-
ly art every time he speaks and every
time he moves. Youths Companion.

Boundary Between Russia and America.

ONE of the most important results of
the trip of the schooner Yukon TO the
coast of Alaska last autumn, under
charge of Commander w. ii. Dali, was
the determination of the boundary line
between Russia and the United States.
According to the treaty, this boundary
line should pass between the two
Diomede Islands without touching eth
er. Commander Dali made landing
on Big Diomede Island, and had ashort
but satisfactory set of observations,
which showed that the boundary line, as
defined in the treaty, does actually pass
between the two islands Theseislands
are granite domes rising in the centero of
Behring's Strait, their sides almost per-
pendicular from the action of the sea,
and without beaches. A few gullies IN
the granite bluffs give access to brok-z
en- tableland on the top. There is ma
tive village on each island. The Dio-
medes are frequented by millions of
birds, and seal and walrus are also cap
tared by the natives.
