Patrick EaAS's patriotism has paid
too well, some Of the leading Republican
papers think. He came to this country in
1888 and was naturalizcd a year ago and is
already Minister to Chill, a second-class
position such as is usually conferred on old
and we'll tried leaders. The New York
World, referring to the appointment, says;
"Thore are scores Of Republican Irishmen
in this country who have established their
claims TO citizenship by army service and
long residence, and they must naturally
feel sighted, in view Of their extended
devotion to Mr.. Blaine and the party"

Long Hours.

An extraordinary instance Of long
hours of labor came to light through the
sweating committee of the house of lords.
A Roumanian Jew, about 80, small and
of poor physique, was examined through
an interpreter in a mixture of Hebrew
and German. He arrived in Hull via
Hamburg, intending to proceed to Amer
lea, but not having money enough to pay
his fare he was sent TO Manchester.
There he works from o'clock in the
morning until ~ at night, and some
times until or in the morning, max
ing an average of twenty hours day
for six days in the week, leaving only
four hours for sleep. He earned shil-
lings day during the busy time, lasting
about ten weeks, and from 6 to ) shil-
lings per week in the slack season, and
on this he had to support wife and six
children. He uSd to work in Rouma-
MIA fourteen hours day for 20 francs a
week, so that he was better off in Rou-
mania than in England, but he had not
sufficient means to return. He had
written to dissuade his countrymen
against coming to England.-English

The Discovery of Oxygen.
FIXED air" and "combustible air" had
oeen specialized upon, and "the air that
is left after combustion" had attracted
attention. But the phenomena of this
kind, inconsistent as they were with the
phlogistic theory, had not been sufficient
to overthrow it. The first germ OF La
voisier's theory on these matters was en-
bodied in a sealed packet which he de-
nizing that the calcination of metals
could not take place without the access
of air, and that the freer the access the
more rapid the calcination, he ''began to
suspect as he expresses himself, that
some elastic fluid contained in the air
was susceptible, under many circum-
stances, of fixing itself and combining
with metals, and that to the addition of
that substance were due calcination and
the increase in weight of metals con-
verted into cakes.
From this thought came, after much
cropping with erroneous conclusions, the
idea that air is a compound containing
a vital part and another part, and that
it is the vital part that is absorbed. The
behavior of charcoal when burning in
oxygen pointed to the nature of that
substance and to the true theory Of COM
bustion This new vital substance,
which. uniting with metals, formed
cakes, and with other substances gen
Grated acids. he calls oxygen, or the acid
producer; the air that was left after COM
bustion was azote, or lifeless. The in
fammable air which, combining with
oxygen, was found to form water, was
called hydrogen. - Popular Science

An excessive amount of fruit, or, if
eaten either in the unripe or over ripe
state, produces various disturbances in
the system, chiefly so because of its ten
dency to ferment and decompose within
the digestive tract, and to produce stom-
ach and bowel disorders. If these dis
turbances are not too great, or too pro-
longed, they need occasion no special
anxiety. A dose of castor oil, to which
few drops Of laudanum have been
added, is usually sufficient to clean out
the irritating debris" and in a day or
two the natural equilibrium is restored.
If there is much gripping and pain with
the movements. and these become too
numerous to be comfortable. the dose of

In 1914 a milk dealer was thrown from
his wagon in New York city, sustaining
a compound fracture of the neck, leav-
ing the spinal cord uninjured, however,
except pressure, which caused paraly
sis until the difficulty was removed
The patient was only unconscious for a
short time, forty-eight hours according
TO one account and eighteen according
to another At that time DR.. Watts was
the head and shoulders of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons. The case be-
ing considered one of unusual interest
Watts was called to make an eXamina-
ton. Although the plaster bandages
were known to the surgeons at that time
by some oversight they were not used.
For ninety days the hapless milkman
lay flat on his back, and for sixty days
more he did not attempt to rise except
by the aid of bandages under his chin
and the back of his head, which were at
tached to pulley ropes fastened in the
ceiling. Within a year from the day the
accident occurred the milk cart made its
regular rounds, having for driver the
man who had survived supposed fatal
accident.-John w. Wright in st. Louis

Origin of the Term Lynch Law"

1t is not generally known that the
term lynch law" originated in Camp
bell county, Va, before the Revolu rion-
airy war. At that period the country
was thinly settled and was infested with
Tories and Disqualification many of
them, apparently, for the local authori-
ties to adequately punish. Col Charles
Lynch, a distinguished officer of the
Revolutionary army, undertook to rid
his country of the outlaws. He organ
lied force, arrested the outlaws, and
having satisfied himself and comrades Of
the guilt of the accused, executed them
without reference to the constituted au-
thorities While not altogether approx
ing of the desperate remedy for des-
perate cause, the beneficial effect of Col.
Lynch's action was recognized and has
since been known as "Lynch's law" or
lynch law"
Lynch'S process of melting out speedy
Justice extended to other parts of the
country, and is a well recognized form
of redress of grievances today, particu-
iarly for that class of Offenses that are
popularity believed not to be adequately
punished by the statutes and courts of
the state. Col Lynch's brother gave his
name to Lynchburg, and left son who
was subsequently governor of Louisiana.
