Samuel Black, a young colored man,
living near Abingdon, started with his
cousin George few days ago on a long
walk. He was going to visit an uncle.

arations to be married On the way
he remarked, jocularly, that he had eat

added. ~''Here's plenty to eat lying
around loose So saying he began
examining the snow as he walked. His
cousin protested, but he had swallowed
large quantity. In little while he
showed symptoms of illness, and as they
were in a desert place his cousin finally
had to carry him in his arms. He was
taken to the nearest house, Mrs. Nc

The late Dr. Gannett, of Boston, was
noted during his long pastorate for his
kindness to the poor and the sick. 1t is
said that no poor family who sought
him ever failed to received his tender
sympathy and substantial aid. If there
were sick ones to be comforted, his
words fitted their needs, for instinct and
experience suggested the right word at
the right time.
A characteristic incident, illustrative
of his kind heart, happened while the
doctor was travelling in Europe, to re-
cover the health undermined by excess
siye work at home. On the continent
he fell in with q young American, and
they kept company for several days. At
length, they parted in France, DR.. Can
nett pushing south towards Italy, and
his companion, who was not well, keep
ing his room.
What was his surprise on Intervening
of the second day, to see DR.. Gannett
entering his room, and to hear the
CHEEKY voice, .sHow are you? l could
aot feel easy in travel, and came back

Tears came to the young mans eyes.

large circle of pa1ishioneTs and personal
friends, than this young stranger, whom
BY chance he had met in foreign land.

queue of the disappearing, and held it,
exclaiming: mo you don't I'm going to

moment the Chinaman was caught by
his clothing and hauled up again and
handcuffed. The officer examined the
premises and found in the floor a trap
similar to those used on the stage Of
theater-for the purpose of permitting
giolators of the law to escape upon the

Rapid Breathing as an Anasthetic.

DIR. M. T. Yates, in letter published
in the Btblica} Recorder, says of the sur
gical operations to which he has recent
" submitted: MY doctors said that they
had seen it stated by an American doc
tor that if person would breathe as
rapidly as possible under an operation,
he would not feel the pain of cutting,
and they. wished to try it on me, to
which proposal ! assented. DR.. Mac
leod Superintendent the breathing
which was aike that of dog on hot
summer day-holding out of my sight,
a handkerchief in his hand to be drop
ped as a signal, he saw the color
come in my face-for Henderson, the
operating doctor, TO go ahead. When
Macleod told me That viii do was
surprised to find that the operation had
been performed. This [ have tried three
times, and have not, at either time, felt
more pain than is usually inflicted in
the case of vaccination. [ heard the
knife rip through the flesh, ike the
sound produced in cutting leather, but
i did not feel the pain. What is the
philosophy of this kind of an anaesthe-
tie? Is it simply diversion of the
mind? We presume the rapid breath
ing acts very much like the inhalation
of laughinggas; that it oxidizes the
blood more highly and makes the heart
beat faster, as shown by the color in the
face, and this exhilaration produces in
sensibility to physical pain. A man
slightly wounded in battle often does
not know it at the tifne-partly, per-
haps, because of mental preoceupation,
but mainly, we suppose, because he is
toned up by the eXcitements of the con-
fict. But. whatever may be the ex-
