LONDON, June S.-The Pail Mall
Gazette contains an article which Is
apparently inspired by M. Lessar Of the
Russian section Of the Afghan bound
airy commission. The article admits
that settlement of the matter In dis
pute with Russia Is still unsigned, and
attributes the present delay TO the hair
splitting or quibbling OF Earl Gran
Vile. The article, In a tone more OF
anger than firmness, warns the earl
not TO carry his dilatory scheme too
far, as 1t might become dangerous.

THE RopY,s TOLERANCE.
Little Things Which Often Prove Danger
Gus, While Severe Injuries Sometimes
Produce Trlfling Results.

Little Things Which Often Prove Danger
Gus, While Severe Injuries Sometimes
Produce Trl1ing Results.
Sometimes a slight blow on the head
has resulted in death, or, what is worse,
in the permanent loss of reason. A
mere scratch on the hand, or silver in
the foot. or a grain of dust lodging in
the eye, or the tinicst fish-bone entering
the wind-pipe, has proved fatal. Such
facts may lead us to accept the poets
statement, THE SPIDERS most attenu-
ated thread is cord, is cable, to mans
hold on life." But there is another
class of facts quite as surprising, that
are different from these.
An iron bar has been driven through
the brain, with considerable loss OF
brain substance, and yet no permanent
harm has come to body or to mind.
The fact is, while mere prick in n
particular part of the brain (the me-
dulla oblongata) may cause death, the
great bulk of the brain is exceedingly
tolerant of many forms of injury.
Even the heart is much more tolerant
than is generally thought The physi-
clan may thrust his fine instrument
through it with safety. An insane
woman sought to kill herself by pierre
ing it with a hairpin, but wholly failed
of her purpose, although the pin inter-
fered with the natural movements of the
heart. fIot
A woman swallowed paper of pins.
The pins traversed various organs and
tissues of the body, and yet she recov-
cred from the local inflammation.
A boy was brought to the hospital in
sensible, and nearly dead from asphyxia
(want of breath). The doctor having
run a catheter down the wind-pipe, a
piece of chestnut was coughed up, The
next day there was evidence that an
other piece was lodged in another of the
bronchial tubes. 1t was impossible ia
dislodge it. There followed all the
symptoms of acute consumption
(pthisic): high temperature, sweating
emaciation, copious expectoratlon Of OF
fensive matter, and a large cavity. Yei
the boy in three months returned hom,
convalescent, and six months later the
cavity had disappeared Kos4's Com
