HE SWALLOWED THE KNEE.

A st. Louis special says: Joseph
Hoffman, a tailor, 40 years of age,
resides with his family at No. 1909
South Broadway. He is small in
stature, but nevertheless has always
endeavored to impress upon his
household that he was a wonderful
man. About year ago he endeav-
ored to rival the famous jugglers by
swallowing poker. He succeeded
in getting it down his throat, but
getting it out was a different thing.
A young man who was in the room
al the time came to the rescue, and
Selling the poker drew it out. Hoff-
man suffered severely for some time
afterward from inflammation of the
stomach, but finally recovered.
His experience, however, did not
cure him of his appetite for swallow
ing solids. Last night after partak-
ing of supper and while somewhat
under the influence of liquor he took
an ordinary silver-plated table knife
about 81 inches long and Mortified
his family by announcing that he
was going to swallow it. Throwing
his back to the angle assumed by
professional jugglers, he took the
knife by the point and inserted the
handle in his mouth. He pressed it
slowly inward until all but about an
inch of the blade disappeared from
view. Hoffman then showed signs of
alarm and when finally the knife dis
appeared entirely from view he ran
around the room in apparent agony
and fright. A neighbor who happen
ed to be in the room attempted to
pull the knife out, but could not OBJ.
tain sufficient hold on it, and it
suddenly dropped down into the
stomach.
Hoffman's agony then became ter
rible, and physicians were, summon
ed. The first to arrive ". leiat loss
what to do. An hour after the knife
had been swallowed DR.. Bernays ar
rived on the scene, and at once plac-
ed Hoffman under the influence of
chloroform. Then throwing off his
coat he commenced one of the most
delicate operations known to medical
men. lie made an incision in the
abdomen, and after locating the knife
In the stomach made small incision
opposite the place where it was found.
The knife was removed and the cuts
carefully sewed up. The whole op-
eiatIon was performed in less than
70 minutes. To-day Hoffman was
resting quietly, and the doctor says
there is a good prospect for his re-
covery unless inflammation sets in.

1t is strange that men who pretend
to believe in popular government can
allow partisan zeal to influence them
so much as to lead them to "gerry-
mander" a state or to defend any
such trick intended to deprive the
people of fair expression of their
views by their representatives. But
both democrats and republicans en-
gage in this abominable business
whenever they get the opportunity.
Indiana has been gerrymandered by
the democrats so that republican
majority of voters fails to get control
of the legislature, which represents
a minority of the voters at the last
election. Ohio has been gerryman-
dered by the republicans so that the
latter havea disproportionately large
share of the members of congress
representing the State, and Pennsyl-
vania is the same way.

ABOUT BOYS,

Too many men make their boys
feel that they are of little or no ac-
count while they are boys. Lay a
responsibility on a boy, and he will
meet it in manful spirit. On no
account ignore their disposition to
investigate. Help them to under
stand things. Encourage them to
know what they are about. We are
too apt to treat boy seeking after
knowledge as mere idle curiosity.
Don't ask questions" is poor adj
vice to boys. If you don't explain
puzzling things to them, you oblige
them to make many experiments be-
fore they find them out, and though
experimental knowledge is best. in
one sense, in another it is not, for
that which can be explained clearly.
does not need experimenting with.
If the principle involved is under
stood, there is no further trouble.
and the boy can go ahead intelligent
ly.
Do not wait for boy to grow up
before you begin to treat him as an
equal. A proper amount of conf
dence, and words of encouragement
and advice, and giving him to under
stand that you trust him in many
ways, helps to make man of him
long before he is a man in either
statute or years.

David Fender, of Clinch county,
died several days ago. He was near
100 years old. His exact age, it is
said, is not known. lie was a soldier
in the war of 1872 and drew pen
sion from the government up to the
time of his death. Years ago, before
the war, he made his own coffin out
of solid fat lightwood and laid it aside
tor future use. One merchant has
sold him as many as two sets of trim
mings for the casket, the second be-
ing purchased alter the first had rot
ted out.

ESSENTIAL CONSTITUENT

Salt is not only the SAVIOR of the
earth but Of the flesh and every
known organism 1t is constant
constituent of the blood, keeping it
llmpid and healthful, and is more
universally distributed over the
globe and throughout all organized
nature than perhaps any other COM
pound. 1t is also one of the most
staple compounds. The waters Of
the deep are charged with it, and
traces of it may be found in the very
air we breathe. By inference, then
we may conclude that salt is an es-
sentlal constituent of all things.
especially of all things organized.
The instincts of all animals concur in
this-wild animals going long dis
tances to prove it. In countries
where it is not accessible, men are
willing to pay almost any price for it.
Nor is the relish for it an ACQUIRED
one, but an instructive craving to sat-
isty the demands of the animal sys-
TEN. Animals deprived of salt are
hard to thrive, nor wear as sleek
coats as those having a full supply.
Ii placed where they have constant
access to it no animal will eat too
much of it, but if fed irregularly and
at long intervals there is great dan
ger of their taking more than enough
for the good OF the system. Great
care should be taken in the manner
OF feeding it that an overdose be not
administered. In order to avoid
this, the best way is to allow the
STOCK free access to it all times. and
the best form in which to accomplish
the object is in the shape of rock salt
that the animals may lick it at will,
not overlooking the necessity of plac-
ing the same under shelter and out
OF the way of the rain. Stock fed
upon grass it is the more necessary
that the attention of farmers should
be called to the subject, and not by
sailing irregularly allow the stock to
SO gorge themselves as frequently to
bring on severe cases of purging, and
thus enGanger the health of the ami
mails.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for De-
Cemher

In these days when outdoor sports
are so generally cultivated, many
will read the article, ''Why we Ca
noe" by W. P. Stephens, in the De-
cember number of FRANK LEsLIE's
POPULAR MONTHLY, and some at least
will be tempted to try an amusement
so exhilarating and attractive. "Per-
sian and Turkish Tobacco" have
their votaries too, who will indorse
Mr.. Oscanyan's praises. The Sketch
OF the Centenarian Chemist Chevreul,
ON whom our Harvard has Just con-
ferred the degree of Doctor OF Laws,
will be read with interest. The ar
tlcle on the American Sparrow hawk
is full of interest just now, as show
ing how easily it could be tanned and
used instead of scarecrow to keep
oft grain devouring birds. A ven
turesome young lady, Miss Taylor,
Tells OF what she beheld at one of the
"Great Thirsty Dances" among the
Indians, till its horrors overpowered
her. W. E. Mccain goes into the
byways of life and tells of Eccentric
Recluses" in charming way. "The
Treatment of Criminals" with a
careful account of the Elmira Re-
tormatory, is an article to be read
and studied carefully. "a Winter
in jamaica is a sketch Of West In
dia travel, very prettily told, and
like the other articles in the number,
well and attractively illustrated. Ar
thur Dudley Vinton tells the story
OF North American Earthquakes"
1.-The Fisher girl of Grand Menan,"
1.-Two inspirations" Shadow or
Substance :" and other stories in this
magazine, justify It's title of the

just so, if you will search the world
over, you will find no two minds ex-

things is as universal as nature itself.
Is it not natural then that there
should be the greatest diversity of
opinion among men on any and on
all subjects? A man believes what

One of the impossible things in

You may be angry with a man and

But you will find that it requires
more thought and effort to pass that
man once without speaking, than ii
would to salute him forty times.
This is because there is no provision

About the most stubborn woman
the world ever heard of died in the
Peltis county, Mo-, poor house a few
days ago. Her name was Sarah An
derson, and one day about nine years
ago she became almost crazed with
anger because of some act of the
keeper of the poor farm. So wild
was she in her rage that she was
locked in her room alone and left to
to mediate until the4oilowng morn
ing. At thatsime the keeper of the
place entered her apartment and
found hfF in bed She was not i'll,
,reatbFefused to rise Days, weeks
] her lin hs passed but never ofse
saws woman leave her couch unLss
ragged from it. The medical fra
ternity visited her, and with6e bx-
ception pronounced her perfectly
well, but notwithstanding this fact
she remained in bed. Months grew
into years without change, but last
spring the woman was actually taken
i'll. She fingered until death came.
She had remained in bed nine consec-
utlye years because of a fit of anger.
