RESCUED FROM pEArH.

RosuscitatiOn After Apparent Suspensi0n
Of An Animal Functions.
Probably one Of the most remarkable Of
this class of cases is one which occurred in
the practice of the late erudite and philo-
sophie dean of the Long Island College Hos
pital, Prof. Samuel O.. Armor. / record it,
as had it more than once from his own lips,
says writer in the Medical News:
The patient was well-to-do man, with
wife and children. He had purchased q
pain-relieving remedy of travelling quack.
Its basis was canabis Indica, or Indian
hemp. He swallowed an overdose, taking
it in drachms instead OF drops. In time he
developed all the symptoms Of narcotic
poisoning. In spite Of all efforts on the part
OF the attending physician he died. The
grief-stricken wife and children wept at the
bedside Of the dead man. = At last

over the sad fate Of his friend and heue-
factor, for such he had been, and came 70
the philosophical and scientific conclusion
that bis friend was somatically Junction

was still active, for the room was warm He
thought that if the respiratory and circu-
latory functions could be maintained by ex-
ternal influences until enough Of the pOis0n
had been eliminated by the cellular activity
the patient might still survive. DR.. Armor

Boxem brownie Extraordinary Method o1
Making Living.
A peculiar old man. known only as Boxem
Brown, has long made living by peddling
collins through this Territory, writes q
VIllette On. n. } correspondent. He travels
with a team Of mules, a big wagon and about
twenty cheap cofins Of assorted sizes. He
is inclined to be sociable, but he never at
tempts TO force his wares upon any body.
He goes through the country after the fash
ion Of other peddlers, calling at each house
and asking in matter-of-fact way If any
thing in his line is wanted. It Is not often
that he sells cofin for immediate use, but
when family contains an elderly person or
an invalid or 3 larga number OF children,
he generally suggests the propriety of pro-
viding against all contingencies, and the
persons addressed are usually quick to see
the point
Boxem was here over Sunday night. and
expressed himself as well satisfied with the
state OF trade 81 know . hundred men who

RuDOLF's FIRST LOVE.
How the Crown Prince Became Enamo
Of an Italian ainoer

How the Crown Prince Became Enamored
OF an Italian Singer,
it is an open secret that the first lote affair
Of the late heir to the Austrian throne was
with beautiful young Italian singer, Nile.
Emilia Tagliana, writes 8. Avivliana In the
Springfield (Mass.l Republican. She was
pupil Of my dear old Maestro Lamperti, and
studied with him In the Milan Conservatoire.
After novitiate in few italian theaters,
Mile Taglians was engaged ct the Ring
Theater iof ill-fate4a memory, and It was
while she was singing there that the Crewn
Prince saw, heard and fell in love with this
little artistic. They were both very young,
and Tor . time NO notice was taken Of this
youthful Romeo and Juliet, but finally
Prince Rudolf declared his intention OF es-
pousing (morganatically) La Tagliana, and,
then, OF course, there was trouble. The
lovers were at once separated, Mile.
Taglians being packed OF to Italy and
forbidden to set foot in Austria, and
the Grown Prince sent on tour to the
Orient, guarded by tutors, etc. On his re-
turn bride was ready and nolens volens
he was welded to the blue-eyed Princess
Stephanie, Of Belgium.
La Tagliana in the meantime came down
to Lake Como, where she passed the sum-
mer with many others Of Lamperti's pupils,
Of whom was one at the time. Her ro-
nance and her polite, graceful figure, with
great melting dark eyes and delicate feat
ures, her air Of melancholy and sweet pathet-
icvoice. were all familiar enough to the stu
dents gathered there round the old maestro.
We regarded her with admiring awe, and
Of course sympathised srdently with her
love-idyl After the Prince was safely wed
ded. Mile. Tagliana went to sing at Berlin
ano finally drifted back again to Vienna. The
gossip OF that most gossiping city always
has it that the Prince remained faithful to
'1ove's young dream" so far az he could
be, and the fair Princess Stephanie was
openly jealous Of the dark-eyed singer
do not know what became Of La Tagliana,
as never saw her again after that one
summer on Lake Como.

was begun When the doctor tired the
negro relieved him, and so they alternated
Occasionally the stethoscope was employed
to detect . possible heart-flutter An was
OF no avail. After two hours effort the
body continued lifeless; hope had fed. The
negro continued, however, while the doctor
rested. The desire to save his friend, if
possible, and the scientific aspect Of the
question that had been raised caused q re-
newed attempt; more injections were given
and more hot bottles were applied.
More than three hours had elapsed and
again was the attempt abandoned, and once
moro vigorously made. After nearly four
houre Of hard work, and when about to de-
sist for the third time, DR.. Armor thought
he detected . slight movement Of the lips.
Soon again he was positive he saw It Again
he noticed it after long interval, aud was
certain Of returning hfe. The stethoscope
discovered an occasional light, muf1ed
sound over the heart. More injections were
given and efforts at artificial respiration
were redoubled. At hast the gasp became
pronounced, the heart-heats more frequent.
the respiration deeper and more regular,
until eventually respiration and circulation
Were established, but at slow rate Con-
sciousness was not regained for hours, but
eventually returned.
DR.. Armor's description Of his own feel
ings and those of the family and the negro
at the time may be better imagined than
described. The patient was alive and well
over score Of years afterward; in fact he
was alive and we'll but few years ago, and
prominently known and interested in New
England banking and financial circles.
