Bismarck's Narrow Escape.

According to private correspondence
from Berlin, Prince Bismarck has been
considerably troubled of late by the effect
of the bullet wound he received so many
years ago from the revolver Of a would
be assassin. Many people have forgotten
ven the circumstance that the great
German chancellor was so murderously
attacked by the youth Blind, but as a
matter of fact five shots were discharged
1t him, and it was simply owing to the
sturdy way in which he grasped his as
sailant's arm that only one of them took
effect. This bullet glanced Off one Of the
chancellor's lower ribs, and a bony ex-
cresence which developed in consequence
still marks the place.
AS it turned out, too, Bismarck's risk
was by no mean at an end when he
grappled with and seized his assailant. A
military guard hurried up on hearing the
chancellor's shouts, and the impulse Of
the foremost of these stalwart Prussian
grenadiers, on seeing a comparatively
feeble stripping being held and seemingly
maltreated by a pondcrous nan with a
bald head-for Bislnarck's hat had fallen
on-was to club his rifle and bring |,
Town on the latter's bare pate. Luckily
for Germany, however, the chancellor
Sarded off his impending fate by shout

Lincoln's MercifuI Nature.

Mr.. Lincoln was BY nature singularly
merciful. The esss with which he could
be reached by persons who might profit
by his clemency gave rise to many not
able scenes in the White House during
the war. Upwards Of twenty deserters
were sentenced at one time to he shot.
The warrants for their execution were
sent TO Mr.. Lincoln for his approval. He
refused to sign them. The commanding
general to whose corps the condemned
men belonged was indignant. He hur-
ried TO Washington. Mr.. Lincoln hau
listened to moving petitions for mercy
from humane persons who, like himself,
were shocked at the idea Of the cold
blooded execution OF more than a score OF
misguided. men. His resolution was fixed,
but his rul. was to see every man who
had business with him.
The irate commander was admitted
into Mr.. Lincoln's private office. With
soldierly bluntness he told the president
that mercy to the few was cruelty to the
many; that executive clemency in such
q case would he a blow to military dis.

Opinions differ as to the effect OF the
free ingestion of water at meal times, but
the view most generally received IL
probably that it dilutes the gastric juice
and so retards digestion. Apart from the
fact that a moderate delay in the process
is by no means q disadvantage, as Sir
William Roberts has shown in his ex-
PLANTATION Of the popularity of tea and
coffee, it is more than doubtful whether
any such effect is in reality produced.
When ingested during meals, water may
do good by washing out the digested food
and by exposing the u~ndigested part
more thoroughly to the action OF the
digestive ferments. Pepsin is a catalyptic
body. and a given quantity will work
almost indefinitely provided the peptones
are removed as they are formed. The
good effects Of water, drunk freely before
meals, has, however, another beneficial
result-it washes away the mucus which
is secreted by the mucus membrane dur
ing the intervals Of repose, and favors
peristalsis Of the whole ~alimentary tract.
The membrane thus cleansed is ina much
better condition to receive food and con-
vert it into soluble compounds. Accord
ing TO DIR. Leuf, who has made this sub
ject a special study, cold water should be
given to persons who have sufficient
vitality to react and hot water to the
Others. In chronic gastric catarrh it is
extremely beneficial to drink warm or hot
water before meals, and salt is said in
most cases TO add to the good effect
produced.-British Medical Journal.

Soldering a Drunken bridegroom.

As a remedy for dissipation the Turk
bh bath is sometimes an important factor
In social life. Not long since the youth
full hope Of a Murray Hill family had an
important engagement at IL O'Clock in
The morning. 1t was, in fact, no less
than q wedding at church, with himself
as the groom. At $3.50 o'clock he was
scarcely sober enough TO summon a do
voted friend to his room, where he told
him how he had been entrced into an
oyer indulgence the night before and led
into a dissipation that had lasted until
morning. lie had not even dared 10 90
20 sleep lest he should overSleep himself,
and had reached his house at , O'Clock,
with a brain 90 befuddled that he could
scarcely manage TO tell his friend that it
was liquor that had upset him. Fortu-
nately the man he had summoned knew
what a Turkish bath would do. In ten
minutes the young fellow was beginning
Q process Of heating and cooling and
pounding and kneading and rubbing, Out
Of which he emerged at 1890 an entirely
new man. His wedding suit meanwhile
had been brought TO the bath house, and
at IL O'Clock he marched into the church
with the suppleness Of an athlete and the
firm tread 81 a soldier. II was a close
shave, and he made any number Of good
resolves BY way Of penance.-New Rork
Tribune,
