methods, to force the sheath back again up the windpipe into the mouth; but it was too firmly imbedded and all attempts to dislodge it failed. Meanwhile the little patient could breathe perfectly with the untouched lung, and suffered no inconvenience. The pros pect, however, was that the foreign body in the air tube would presently set up irritation and cause an abscess, which, from it's posi- ton, would cause serious results. It was, therefore, determined to operate. The chest was opened, the sheath extracted from the air tube and the wound closed. The opera tion was absolutely novel, and special in strument had to be made for the purpose. It was completely successful, and the distin-, guished operator is at the present moment quite the hero of surgical society.

DOES IF PROHVRITq


 The prohibitionists of Rhode Island can find no support of their theory in the work ing of the prohibitery law in Providence. There are to-day about one hundred and twenty-five more places in Providence where intoxicating drinks can be obtained than there were under the license system, this in crease coming from the so-called "kitchen barrooms," located in tenement houses.
 When the prohibitory law first went into effect in Providence it was almost impossible, even for men who were known to be opposed to prohibition, to obtain glass of liquor, but this state of things was of very brief duration. Soon almost every barroom in the center of the city was in full blast, the only objection that patrons found being that they had to carry pocketful of assorted pass keys. This lasted for a few months, until about May last, when all prstence was abandoned and the doors of the several saloons were boldly thrown open and every visitor was at once served with what he called for without the slightest attention be- ing paid to him or his possible official em- ployment. A marked change in the working hours of retail liquor sellers has been ob. served for the past six months. Under the license law almost every saloon iR town was closed at midnight, and on Sunday were kept closed, there being only few places where liquor could be procured on the Sab bath. Now, on the contrary, ninety per cent. of the saloons are open twenty four hours day for seven days in the week, and one prominent retail dealer informed re- porter that his Sunday sales were far in ex- cess of the weekday sales.
 It has been noted that every time a raid has been made for few weeks the doors of the barrooms were kept locked and keys were once moro in requisition, but rarely were the doors kept closed for more than two weeks, and again the business was car ried on openly and with even greater defi- ance of the law. According to the state nents of Chief of Police Child the business of liquor selling has been conducted quietly during the past twelve months and there has been very little complaint from persons liv- ing adjacent to places where liquor is sold.
 It is the same old story, that of prohibit ton that does not prohibit. Meanwhile, high license continues to show it's power to regulate the liquor traffic and lessen the bur- dens of the taxpayers.

A Reasonable Defense.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Dear sir-I want to beg little space in the columns of your paper in which to defend a portion of the New Haven fire department. I have noticed and read with great interest good many times great many ccnnmunica- tions from different people on almost every conceivable subject, and have judged by that that you arc quite liberal in your allow ance of the paper to be used for such pur- poses, and have hoped on the strength of this to be able to obtain little space tor my purpose. What induces ne to desire this space in order to publicly defend portion of the fire department is an article printed in Monday nights issue of the Union. The article to which I refer attacks portion of the department somewhat unjustly, rather severely, and with quite un- called for sarcasm. I do not wish to go into minute detail to answer everything contained in the article, but simply the most prominent points. Those points are it's sarcastic eriti cism of the workings of the new erial truck and those who manipulated" it, as it terms those who were operating or rather trying to operate it. The article says that this 'con- cern, which is the mannersin which it al- ludss to the new truck which has aroused such great expectations, utterly failed to ae- quit itself with that success which it was ex-
 
 operations and operating were witnessed with disgust by the many spectators, and the only use to which it was apparently put was te make an exhibition of itself and to give Gone of the bravest," as it terms l one of the members of tho truck company, an opportunity to make 8 tragic exhibition of himself, who Gin the language of the Unions article) ststruck 8 tragic attitude 1 at the bottom of the ladder, and then, after l drawing the attention of the many specta- tors, ascended to the top and then paused. :" We'll, why shouldn't he; what else would he be apt to do when he ascended to the top; jump off Perhaps such an exhibition would have met with the approval of the Unions sensation reporter. And it fur l thermore says that the truck was made no use of. Now then, my purpose is to reply to some of these accusations and to state | the facts as they were, and to give reasons 1 fer some of the ssexhibiiions" of the truck, and to (as far as possible) set the matter aright before the citizens and taxpayers. In the first place all should be made aware of

Frozen fish are imported into Marseilles by society formed for the purpose. A steamer lately brought there some thirty-six tons of frozen fish in its hold, the temperature of which had been kept at about freezing point by means of a machine eyaporating sulphuric acid. The fish are caught with the net in various parts of the Mediterranean and Att lantic. After arrival they are dispatched by night in a cold chamber. Experiment. has shown that fish can be kept seven or eight months at low temperature without the least change.

The Shah of Persia, who will probably
 visit Europe this year, is, if the truth is told,
 & rather small man. He is satisfied that the
 superior roads of European countries are due
 to the fact that those countries do not pos
 scss such hardy horses as Persia Railroads,
 he insists, should be built in Persia out of
 private capital, because they are thus con-
 structed in countries 50 differently consti-
 tutsd as the United States. He has procured
 modern breech-loading rifles for his army,
 but they are said to be rusting under lock
 and key because he could not endure that the
 pretty weapons should be handed over to the
 common soldier. If tales told of him be
 true, he is much attached to his money
 chests, and is prone to make ambassadors from other courts help to fill them with fees exaoted for every audience granted them.
 A new electrical device has recently been patented in England, and it indicates the wide usefulness of electricity. In arranging to provide some means of purifying the sew age matter of the city of London, so that it can be pumped into the Thames river with out polluting that stream, it has beefs4ound that by means of electricity, produced either from cells or from dynamo, transmitted in to the sewage through metallic electrodes, the equivalent of chemical change can be produced. The particles of the sewage mat 1 ter are set in circulatory motion by the electric current, the sum total of the move l ment consisting in landing the suspended particles at the top of the liquid, and in the space of few minutes 8 volume of opaque
 sewage becomes perfectly transparent. except at the top, where the organic matter collects 1 in semi solid form. It is in this way easy
 to separate the two, and to allow the puri- l fed fluid to run of through natural channels. 1 A novel accident and novel surgical | operation which followed it are talked about I in London. A little girl was sucking pen oil which had a metal guard. She accidsn- tally sucked the guard of the pencil, and it

Mr. Tobias the senior member of the firm, that
when the latter went to Europe in 1SSl, he gave
Wischer full charge of the business armed him
with full power Of attorney, and intrusted him
with all the funds of the concern.
Though he probably began to make crooked
entries during the absence of MIR. Tobias, there
was not breath of suspicion against him until
about five weeks ago, when the head Of the firm
asked some rather searching questions about the
balancing Of certain accounts. The trusted clerk
gave a satisfactory explanation at the time, but
