A Remarkable Case.

An extraordinary recital is made by an
Edinburg physician, which finds place in
Public Opinion (London) in this shape: I
have thought it right to put on record the
following case, as it seems to me to be one
of some rarity, and to have some impor-
tance from medico-legal point of view
| cannot do better than give the facts in
the words of the patient himself, who COM
municated them to me by letter. He
writes as follows: "a rather strange thing
happened to myself about a week ago.
For a month or so was troubled very much
with foul eructations. [ had no pain, but
the smell of the gas which came from my
stomach was disagreeable to myself and to
all who happened to be in the room. About
a week ago, as | said, got up in-the morn
ing and lighted match to see the time,
and when put the match near my mouth
to blow it out my breath caught fire and
gave loud crack like the report of pis-
tol. 1t burned my lips, and they are still
little sore. [ got terrible surprise, and
SO did my wife, for the report awakened
her" From the above occurrence it would
appear that the condition known as "hali-
tosis," or diseased breath, is not only a
source of misery to the sufferer, and to
those compelled to associate with him, but
may, under certain circumstances, become
condition of danger to the unfortunate
possessor of it. In the present instance,
the gaseous results of the imperfectly di-
gested food had their atoms of carbon and
hydrogen so arranged as to give rise to the
presence of carburetted hydrogen, the in
hammable and explosive qualities of which
came into play when mixed with a due
proportion of atmospheric air in presence
of the unguarded light of the burning
match may add that the patient to
whom the accident happened is most in
telligent and observant man, and that the
diet prescribed for the indigestion with
which he suffers from time to time has
alcohol excluded from it, and know that
my instructions in that respect are acted

Eulogy to the Author of 'Tho PAST >
Written for the Democratic Advocate.


Be still, sad heart, and cease thy repin-
ings. Know ye this? There is voice
from the tomb sweeter than song; out of
its depths, its darkness and gloom comes
solace and comfort that turns us away even
from the charms of the living. True, it
may throw passing cloud over the bright
hour of gayety, or a deeper sadness in the
low, still voice that comes ''out of the
shadows, but when all these have softened
away into the gentle tear of remembrance;
and the pensive longing to be alone with
thy deep grief, when the cold realities of
our loneliness breaks in upon us, is it not
hard to live through it all? But this
eUentide must come into each of our lives.
These dark days help to make the sunshine
more radiant when once the sombre clouds
have passed away. Can we forget? No!
But when the first great passion melts
away as dew drops before the morning sun
not into oblivion, for on yonder hill
sleeps sister, whose gentle loveliness
throws sweet influence into every thought
of my life. How is it that the rainbow
and the clouds come over us with a beauty
that is not of earth, and then roll away and
leave us to muse on their faded loveliness?
and why do the little stars hold their fes-
tival around the midnight throne, and we
too low to grasp it and why these friends
of human beauty are given to us, and Just
when we need them most are taken from
us? 1t is said we are born for a higher
destiny than this of earth; where the rain
bOtr i ~, Al,
illume the night will be spread out before
us, like the islands that slumber and sleep
on the ocean, and the familiar faces and
forms will stay in our presence always.
These are sweet consultations
Now if this life is what we make it,
surely we have much to live for. Earth
is very, very beautiful; every tree, shrub
and flower has its little mission and how
much more have we? These high hills
and low valleys are mantled in garments of
beauty, and gladness is pictured on every
leaf. Is it right to grieve and live in the
midst of such sublime purity? Oh we
have something higher to live for. "If
sorrows are in mercy sem" it is not best to
live this old pain over and over again,
though we would not forget No; these
memories of other days make us better men
and women.
"These beautiful fowersp Do they
ever sigh, and weep, or grieve, when fragile
as they are, one drOops and withers and
dies. Methinks, though born of earth, if
anything of earthly soil grows in higher
realm it will be these flowers, blending
their sweetness with the incense of prayer.
Perhaps it is not justice to the friends
that are left us that we should live so close
with this phantom shadow, and dream
again and again this sweet delusive dream
of other days, and that can never be formed
into reality.
: I sometimes think when we had those
around us that we loved, when perhaps the
home circle was unbroken, we lived too
much for ourselves, and forgot that to very
many the world was cold and unfeeling.
''Then these sorrows in mercy sent" will
guide us out into the world that is all
made up of fragments.

the young ladies wear masks and from
the neck of each one of them is su3-
