An@sthetics.

DR.. John G. johnson, of Brooklyn,
recently read an interesting paper be-
fore the New York Medico-Legal SO.
ciety on " An@sthetics." The follow
ing are some of the points of the doc
tors statements
Should a patient die from chloro-
form inhaled in a sitting position in a
dentists chair it could no longer be
urged in behalf of the surgeon, whose
patient had been ohloroformed out OF
existence, as it was successfully argued
in behalf of the young Partisan surgeon
in 1858, who had been imprisoned for
the death of patient under chloroform,
on whom he was operating without as
sistance, that there was no fixed rules for
the administration of ch,opoform. The
English chloroform committee appoint
ed by the Royal Medico- -Chirurgical
society laid down in 1864 the rule that
anesthetics should always be given in
the recumbent position and never in
the erect position. The reason Of
this rule is evident. In natural
respiration the rising and falling of the
ribs is produced by the intercostal
muscles, and the respiration is called
thoracic. AS the patient comes under
the influence of the an@sthetic, these
intercostal muscles become paralyzed
and cease their action. The respira.
ton is then kept up by the action Of the
diaphragm or abdominal respiration.
Those who have seen much of the
patients under the influence OF an@s-
thetics in our large hospitals must have
noticed how quickly patient stopped
breathing at this stage If an assistant
pressed against the abdomen, to watch
the operation or to pass an instrument.
under the influence OF an an@sthetic,
she slips down in the dentists chair.
The weight OF the upper portion Of the
body is COMPRISING the abdomen
preventing the diaphragm from acting.
1 think, with the present knowledge of
an@sthetiCs, that q surgeon who
should administer chloroform to a
patient in the erect position in the dent
lists chair, with her clothes tigh-
around her waist, and the patient
should die, he would justly be held for
manslaughter. During the early ages
of anesthetics the knowledge of the
profession was only experimental
That age has passed. The most dis
tinguished men in the profession, as
long ago as 1864, published this rule
and the reasons for it. Subsequent
experimentation has demonstrated the
justice of it. 1t has been adopted by
all our modern writers on the sub
ject. The courts have held over and
over again that physician must prac-
tice according to the well-known rules
of the profession, and if he departs
from them it is at his peril.

Labor on a Sandwich Island Plantation

A letter from the Sandwich Islands
gives this interesting account of life on
the plantations there: In the field and
at the mill hands work lazily, talking
and laughing among themselves, look
ing healthy, cheerful and contented
and on the best terms with the planters
and overseers. The work is what any
boy or girl fifteen years old could per.
form, but the boys anC girls must go
to school. No matter how far the cane
field may be from their houses, laborers
are not required to start any earlier in
the morning, and they reach home just
as soon in the evening. The hardest
work is hoeing, and that consists of
only turning light, sandy soil, and
they themselves say they are never hur-
ried against their will. The method
adopted by a manager to get a good
days work out of them is to go among
them and talk freely, allowing them op-
portunities OF showing their wit, and
then pit one gang against another. The
native is particularly susceptible to this
treatment. Natives usually reship !;
Chinese never do, but they haunt q
plantation after the expiration of their
contract, gambling with the hands, sell
ing them smuggled opium and liquor.
The native, ike the child that he is,
gives them all he earns in exchange for
liquor which he cannot resist. Con-
tracts, which are usually for one to
three years, Ill for ten hours work per
day, but the dsys'they work 50 long are
few and far between. At the Koloa
mill they were grinding from l
o'clock in the morning till 6 in the
evening, with separate gang for night
and day, making eight and half hours
all told, including the dinner hour.
Hands employed at feeding the rollers
knocked off shortly after 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. This is one of the
oldest plantations in the kingdom, and
never has had any trouble with its men.

Three Shadows.

1 looked and saw your eyes
In the shadow Of your hair,
As traveller sees the stream
In tho shadow Of the wood;
And I said: "My faint hoart sighs,
All, me TO hnger there,
To drink doop and TO dream
In that sweet solitude"
] looked and saw your heart
In the shadow Of your eyes,
As seeker seeks the gold
In the shadow of the stream
And / said "Ah, me what art
Should win tho immortal prize,
Whose want must make life GOLD
And heaven hollow dream"
l looked and saw your love
In the shadow Of your heart,
AS diver secs the pearl
In the shadow OF the sea
And 1 murmured, not above
Ny breath, but all apart
" Ali you can love, true girl,
And is your love for me?"

TWO Hands.

A little hand, fair, soft hand,
Dimpled and sweet TO kiss
No sculptor ever carved from stone
A lovelier hand than TINS.
A hand as idle and ss white
As lilies ON their stems;
Dazzling with rosy 6nger-tips,
Dazzling with crusted gems.
Another hands tired, old hand,
Written with many lines;
A faithful, weary hand, whereon
The pearl Of great price shines
For folded, as the winged fly
Sleeps in the chIysalis,
Within this little palm see
That lovelier hand than this.

count of that remarkable COW Bertha
Morgan" But the person in whose
rare aud possession she passed most Of
her life, and developed her wonderful
pow ers is not mentioned. In the spring
OF 1875, while yet heifer. before she
was two years old, and before she had a
calf, she was purchased at John Patter-
sons sale by myself for Isaac Morgan,
who is now living in this city, at No.
914 Orange street. 1t was he who bred
from her "Lydia Darrach" and several
other valuable animals, and Bertha and
some Of her descendants were sold at
his sale Feb. 28th, 1881. At that sale
she passed into the hands of Edward
Worth who realized $25O0 for her with.
In year after his purchase. She made
on l. Morgan's farm, on common keep,
over fourteen pounds of elegant butter
in seven days, was always healthy and

connection with the Democratic party,
and then to his connection with the
Republican party. He said he left the
latter party when it had become worth
less. In the course of his remarks the
General said 1t was nothing more than
retributive justice that sent the bullet
through President Garfield in return
for his alleged rascallty in the Presi-
Dental frauds of 1876. This remark
was received in silence by his hearers,

-" ar a policeman"
"W ht,t for?"
Nv ant him 10 90 home with me-"
"D1n't you know your way home?''
askeu the station keeper, as he scalped
another sardine.
"Yes, but want policeman to 70
with me.
Drunk?" said Hubbard.
''No, sir.
I'm prohibitionist, but l want a
policeman, and don't want to stand
here, on the eve of our natal day, very
much longer. Do you understand
that?" shouted the man, with one hand
under his coat tail and the other spread
out like scoop shovel on the desk.
"We don't keep policemen to see 30.
Der men home, natal day or no natal
day." remarked Hubbard, as he suueez-
ed the sardine as affectional as if it
had been an old sweetheart.
The west side man looked at the hard
hearted wretch and then said in kiud
of disinherited voice:
"Say, want to see you outside"
"You can see me- here," replied the
station keeper.
The man leaned over the railing as
If he desired TO be confidential, and
said, in q salvation tone:
"My wife is Monochrome in bed, and
want to get in.
"Where is your night key ?"
"Here it is" he said, pulling ont
ccrkscrew by mistake.
The station keeper did not see the
necessity of sending policeman home
with a married man who was sober, in
order to see that he got In, and said so.
The citizen said that was not the point.
He could get in himself but he wanted
the policeman to sit up in his house du.

That's what I'm afraid OF. She's a

with this appeal:
"Book me for vagrancy and let me
