Luclfer Matches.
Few Remarks by the inventor of Loco

Springfield Republican,

ibid ever tell you what Charles Summer
once said to me about the manufacture of
matches?' queried Lucius c. Allen, the
veteran armory foreman. SIT was about so
years ago now, when was in doubt wheth-
er it would pay to go into the business. and
asked Mr. Sumner what he thought about it.
He turned around quick as flash and said,
Mr.. Allen, how many pins do you suppose
are made in a yearT thought there must
be a GOOD many millions. And how many
times he continued, is pin used?' Per.
haps so on an average replied. Then at
least 20 times as many matches will be need
ed as pins,' he concluded. and of course it
will pay Now, did even Charles Sumner

that, but / invented them. 1t was away

and gambled the patent away to men who
made their fortunes out of it. sold matches
all through the country, but there was
good deal of opposition to their manufac
ture. The papers said it was bid for in
cendiarism, and many shop keepers would
not sell them. The railroad had got as far
as Worcester then, but they wouldn't carry
matches, and had to hire men to drive
clear through TO Boston. There were some
other matches in the market that would
crack like pistol when you lit them, and

President Garfield's Wound.
A Fine Specimen of German Criticism and
American Retort.
Medical Gazette.1


Recently DR.. William Hunt, senior sur
geon TO the Pennsylvania hospital, in the
annual address delivered by him before the
Philadelphia academy of surgery, took occa-
sion to review the criticisms made by Es-
march upon the treatment of the late Presi-
dent Garfield.
The style of DR.. Hunts remarks is inter-
colloquial and of a serio-comic character,
but they ale none the less pungent and con-
elusive. They may be somewhat freely
summarized as follows:
Esmarch-The first physician who saw the
President-Dr. Townsend-carried his fin
gers Immediately into the wound without
washing or disinfecting his hands and thus
carried infection into the wound. DIR.
Townsend was not one of the surgeons who
subsequently attended the President. The
wound having been thus poisoned by DIR.
Townsend before the other surgeons saw it,
upon him, and not upon DIR. Bliss and his
colleagues, must rest the responsibility of
the Presidents death. Just at this point,
therefore, Esmarch might have closed his
criticism.-Ed.
Hunt-The hands of American surgeons
are generally clean; and as a rule, railroad
stations do not keep twenty per cent. solu-
LlOuS Oh cdTDOlc dClu OIL Tap.
Esmarch- When Drs. Agnew and Hamil-
ton arrived, July 4, renewed examination
was made with probes flexible bougies, etc,
and without antiseptic precautions. From
which examinations they became convinced
that neither the liver, kidneys, intestines or
peritoneum had been injured. They ought
to have known this without such an exami-
nation.
Hunt--As no such examinations were
made by either of the gentlemen at this
time or by any one else, Professor Esmarch
must give them credit for the exercise Of av-
erage surgical skill in drawing their coDclu-
sions that the viscera named were. not
wounded, if indeed it is true that they were
not.
Esmarch-The permanganate OF potash,
which was, after time, substituted for the
carbolic acid as wash for the long sinus,
on the ground that the patient was exposed
to the danger of being poisoned by the acid,
was an injudicious substitution.
Hunt--This is matter of opinion which
could as safely be left to the surgeons at
Washington as to the surgeon at Kiel.
Esmarch-Antiseptic principles were not
fully carried out in the details of the dress
ings.
Hunt-This is question of fact. The
surgeons say they were fully carried out;
and they alone can speak intelligently, mas
much as the precise and full details were
never given to the public.
Esmarch--In military surgery there are
examples enough of recovery from similar
injuries.
Hunt-Esmarch admits that the body of
one of the yertebr@ was perforated, and that
the splenic artery was wounded. There Is
not one example upon record where ball
has been known to have passed through the
body of human vertebra and the patient
has recovered. No such specimen has been
described as having been seen, or can be
found In any museum. There Is no recorded

ST. Louis Globe: The public will be glad
to learn that, in the opinion of the civil SER
vice commissioners, the rules which they
have adopted for filling the departments
with competent clerks, and none but compe-
tent, are practical and twill commend
themselves to fair-minded men, For,
though the civil service law will have very
little influence, for good or bad, on the adj
ministration of the Government, it is yet
law, and while it is law it deserves respect.
Judge Thoman, of the commission, believes
that competitive examinations will keep in
competent men out of clerical offices, but
that is not the same thing as taking the Of
fees out of politics, by long shot. No ''civ-
Il service" law will make appointments indie

there are dozen competent applicants for

Some men seem to become drunk sudden

dreadful and astounding cases are afforded

SOBER How they manage to survive so long
as they do is mystery. There are men
who have been perpetually under the influ-
ence of liquor for twenty or thirty years. OF
course the brain must have become perma-
nently injured, so that we may infer that
the drink these persons now take has little
or no real effect on them, and that their state
would be just the same without 1t. Others,
again, are systematic and punctual drunk

Sarah Sketched by Sarah.

Fedora leaves Nine. Damala good
deal Of surplus energy, which she employs
in aiding her son Maurice 20 direct hi thea
tire and in writing her autobiography. This
work is shortly to appear Nobody doubts
that it will be interesting, and every one ex-
poets that the fair authoress will muffie up
truth very prettily and drape it as elabor-
ately as she drapes her own person. Strict
veracity is not to be expected in this in
stance. Sarah was born with impression
able nerves, has led life Of perpetual ex-
element, and is quite miserable when the
whole world is not talking about her.
Besides, she has lived so much before the
public that, If she we're to give anything

OF the school girl period Of her existence l
have been furnished with an account by
lady who was her fellow pensionnaire at the
convent of the Sacre Ceur at Versailles.
She has never met Sarah since she quilted
that establishment, but preserves kindly
recollection Of her. The future actress was
lavish of her pocket money, of which she
sometimes had good deal. There were
other times when the supply was scanty
Her mother, who often visited her, was APP
parently the sport Of fortune. There were
days when she came superbly dressed, and
in q magnificent eguipage OF her own. On
other occasions she looked the reverse of

credit for anticipated expenses, When the
world went i'll with Nine. Bernhard, sis
ter of hers, who was on terms Of friendly
intimacy with financier, paid the bills.
She was fond of her niece, and used to say
Of her, ''ELLe ira Loin." Sarah was stndious
by fits and starts and learned rapidly. At
about the age of fourteen sho threw herself
with fervid zeal into devotional exercises,
and demanded to be baptized. Her ecstatic
piety edited the nuns and the chaplain who
prepared her for that rite. She dreamt
dreams and saw when praying In the chapel
celestial visitants. What she most desired
was to enter The sisterhood of Notre Dame
de Sion. But the ruin of her aunps finan-
ciaI friend precluded her from hoping for
the dowry without which she could not
make VOW of poverty in that community as
a protested nun. SO she DETECTED from the
"steep and thorny path to heaven" and on
leaving the convent vent to study dramatic
art at the Conservatoire. Sarah at school
"adopted'' two orphan children, who were
good deal Younger than herself, frequently
made them presents, looked after them IN
the hours of recreation, and taught them to
dress their dolls. She was habitually inso-
lent to some daughters of wealthy and noble
houses, and was obliged to do penance for
tormenting them with her sarcasms. At
the Sacre Coeur she manifested histrionic
talent. Defamation was carefully taught
there, and the feasts of the Church were
often celebrated by dramatic performances.
