walked about viewing the town. and in front
of a cigar-sture espied the wooden figure of
a sQuaw. The Indians were almost tickled
to death. They laughed and chartered and
pointed at the figure until the store-keeper
came out and gave each a cigar. Then he
struck a match on the leg OF his trousers,
and that amused the redskins more than
anything else. None OF them wore trousers,
and they thought that the cigarman had
enabled him to strike fire by rubbing a
match on it. They kept him lighting
matches thus for several minutes.
Finally the time came for them to get
aboard the train, but first they insisted ON
examining the cars inside and out, even
crawling underneath and inspecting the
wheels. Even then they would not get on
the cars until the locomotive was uncoupled
and its workings explained. The engineer

SMOKING A MERE PRACTICE.

German Celebrities Take Direct Issue
Against the Use of Tobacco.
The advantages and disadvantages of the
use of tobacco have been the subject of a
symposium of opinion of the most famous
writers, physicians and artists Of G. srmaly
and Austria. AS in the case of the famous
Frenchmen, whose IDEAS on the same sub
iect were collected few months ago. the
almost universal verdict OF the German
speaking celebrities has been against smok-
ing and snuff-taking as extremely injurious,
though seductiyely delightful practices.
Billroth, the Vienna surgeon. saws: Ihat
the posterity of the nlcotniZed and alcohol
lied higher society is becoming steadily
weaker and more nervous is by no means
surprising The colossal increase OF nerve
and mind disease in our day is undoubtedly
the result, TO a great extent OF the tobacco
and alcohol habit and of the straining of the
nervous system caused by these poisons."
Dr. c. Harnack, Professor of Medical
Chemistry at Halle University, who smoked
formerly, but has recently sworn on, Is
of the opinion that ''the benefits of smoking
are by all odds fewer than the seriously
harmful effects"
DIR. H. Magnus, probably the first oculst
in Germany and professor at Breslau Uni
versity, is one of the few but sturdy defend
ers of the weed. He says: Smoking ex-
cites the digestion, quiets the nervous
system and dsinfects the cavity OF the
mouth"
The famous Privy Councillor Nussbaum of
Munich gave the opinion shortly before his
recent death that smoking very often did
much good and very seldom did much harm.
The bad feature wac the effect upon the
eyes and nervous system. The good one
was the benefit to the digestive organs.
.The inspiring, exhilarating and altogether
favorable action of smoking on the brain
should be highly priced" This opinion is
remarkable, because Nussbaum was not a
smoker.

Faculty in Berlin says: 81 delight in smok-
ing, especially at times when | am COM

A PATCHED-UP HUMAN FRAME.

Charles Burns Heart Beats on the Right
Side.
A more contorted anatomy than that OF
George Burns, who was locked I'D at the
Eighteenth District Station-house on Tues
day night, has never come to the attention Of
the police or hospital authorities of this
city. Early on that night Officer Chalmers
OF the Eighteenth Police District discovered
man standing on American street, near
Columbia avenue, near the tracks of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, and as
an engine came by be would whistle at the
engineer and make motions for him TO stop.
Thinking that he was crazy, the officer ar
rested him and he was locked up at the sta
tlon-hOuSe, where lie said lie was STAYING at
12l4 South Twenty-Second street, but lived
in New York.

patrol was In the ceil-room and the prisoner
called him and said: Il see you are an old
soldier by the G. a. r. button you wear, and
so am l." He then began to tell of numer-
Gus Injuries he received, and said he was not
demented but had taken an overdose If
DR.. Judge, the district surgeon, was then
sent for and made careful examination Of
the man. and found that he had no bone in
the lower portion of his right leg, but its
place had been taken by formation of
gristle. The upper right leg had been
broken IN two places, and the left knee-cap
was completely missing. Three ribs were
entirely gone from his left side, and mis-
heart beat on the right side; his right arm
had no joint at the elbow, and silver plate
extended from over the ear on the right side
of his head all over the forehead. This
plate, when tapped with lead-penciI, gave
off dull ringing sound.
His story was that he had enlisted in
the Forty-seventh Massachusetts Regiment
and, when in 1868 an order was issued that
men in the army wishing to enter the navy
could be transferred, he made application
and was appointed Assistant Engineer on
the United States steamer Essex. he was
afterward connected with the lnnan and
White Star steamship companies as engi-
neer, and he received most of his injuries in
the wreck of the steamer Savannah on
Gays Rock, Martha's Vineyard, in which
catastrophe over 100 people perished.
He sued the company for damages and
got verdict for S25,000, but he says the
company has five years in which to make
payment. He receives pension of Sl2 a
month from the Government for a shot
wound received at Fort Fisher. and he gets

CHILEAN REVOLT,
Admiral LatOrre'S Views on The
Situation.
Belief That The Revolution Will Be Soon
Terminated.
Parnell Likely 10 Visit AmerlCa-Termi-
nation Of a Noted French Mur-
der Trial.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

PARIS, Jan. 25.-Admiral Latorre Of the
Chilean Navy, noted as the capturer of the
Peruvian ironclad Huscar in the war be-
tween Chile aad Peru, has been sent by
President Balmaceda of Chile to Europe to
supervise the building of warships tor that
country. In an interview to-day, Admiral
Latorre denied that the Chilean Navy had
been unfairly treated as compared with the
army in the distribution of the Peruvian
war hoDOrs. There was no animosity he
said, between the army and navy. The two
bodies hardly ever met, and there was small
chance OF q feeling of jealousy existing be-
tween the officers of the two branches of the
service. The Admiral knew not why the navy
should head the revolution in Chile except
that chivalrous notions of the officers might
make them the readiest to respond to an ap-
peal for revolution. The naval officers, he
said, mus. have acted on generous impulse.
Being far from the immediate center of
affairs, they must have been carried away
more by sentiment than by real knowledge
OF the situation. Admiral Latorre further
said that if the army joined tile movement
the end of the revolution would only be
matter Of few days He thought a con-
fiict between the army and navy entirely i'm
probable. The navy, lie said, could not
easily blockade the whole coast, owing to
its great extent, while the Admiral of the
British feet would eventually object to the
blockade by calling the attention of the
commander of the blockading feet to the
fact that lie must not interfere with the
commerce of neutral powers.
A conflict between President Balmaceda
and the Chilean Congress, said Admiral La
torre, might have arisen from a suspicion
that the President was trying to influence
the public mind and intrigue in favor of a
new man whom he wished to succeed him in
the Presidency. Balmaceda is also accused
of having broken promise to effect NUM-
cipal reforms, and an additional cause of
irritation was his action in dissolving the
special session of Congress. Admiral La
turre believes the revolution will be speedily
settled. lie is Of the opinion that Balma-
ceda. as soon as he sees that the current of
feeling is really against him, will withdraw
from the Presidency. The Admiral does
not think that any naval officer will suffer
Tor having taken part IN the revolt as all
have acted in a body in response to a suu-
mons of Congress.

Jocko was in the habit of paying pro-

floor OF a maiden lady who is known to the
people for whom she makes dresses as Miss
Coleman.
The other afternoon Jocko, perched on
table in the basement, listened with.gveat
interest to graphic description OF the way
the Indians scalped their victims. In order
to illustrate the most approved method the
bartender picked up paper-cutter, ana,
metaphorlcally speaking, scalped his next

the dressmakers apartments, and the other
tenants were huddled together on the land
ing below. each trying to urge the other to
go up and find out what was the matter.
Then the trouble was in part explained by
Jocko's appearing at the head of the stairs
with what looked like a carving knife
tightly clutched in one forepaw and full
set Of "Langtry's bangs" in the other.
Miss Coleman told one of the tenants later

TYPHOID FEVER.
Absolute Rest and Semi Starvation Said
to Be Cure.

Absolute Rest and Semi $ taryation Said
to BE a Cure.
DR.. Lieovsh maintains that he has for six
years met with unusual success in the treat
ment Of typhoid fever by absolute rest in
the recumbent posture and by Withholding
all food for several days from the COM
mencement of the attack, says the Auck-
land Weekly News. According to the
Hospital, he sometimes allows very snail
quantities of milk, not exceeding four
ounces daily in others he gives nothing but
water After this has been persisted in for
four, five or six days the patients, who COM
monty lOathe all nourshment usually COM
plain of hunger, when he begins to crafty
the returning appetite very cautiously and
gradually with small quantities of such
light nourishment as milk, beef tea, pepto-
niZed foods, or farinacea, as the patient may
choose, and convalescence is soon estab-
lished. He believes that through the physi-
ologca or functional rest thus obtained
the effete matters are eliminated, and
not, as they would otherwise be, increased
by the products of metaboliSm of the food
the catarrhal condition OF the stomach and
bowels subsidies, and consequently the
temperature either falls at once or does so
after having remained stationary for few
days longer. In fact the fever may be said
to be aborted, though IL will return If the
least indiscretion in the way Of premature
or too liberal administration ofn0uTishment
be permitted. He has thus treated no fewer
than 800 cases. The appetite created by the
deprivation of food enables the patient to
utilize il, when ii is at length given, in
way that he would not had il been supplied
from the first. But that he may be able 10
bear this starvation the strictest rest in the
recumbent posture is imperative, as any et
