AT Il mill known as st. Georges, on the
Island of Barbados, ON the 2lst of May,
1891. the men in attendance were shorten
ing sail; one man did not let 90 his hold
soon enough and was carried alOft by the
great forty-five. foot sail. He fortunately
had all his wits about him and mana3 ed
to get his feet around bar of the sail and
to hold on to the one above. In this posi-
ton he was carried around, the mill revolv-
ing with increased rapidity, as the man
whose duty it was to feed it had rushed
out at the first alarm.
\ cry was raised to choke the rollers
with cane and 50 stop the mill. This was
done at the imminent risk of breaking
some of the machinery and so releasing the
sails altogether. After six complete revolu-
tions the mill was stopped, fairly choked
by the bundles of cane thrust into its jaws,
leaving the sail, to which the man still
chung, uppermust, and he ninety feet from
the ground. With marvellous nerve, or
rather lack of nerves, he proceeded to climb
down that pcrlous ladder and reached the
ground without assistance. An easy cal
culation will show he had Travelled close on
GOO yards in his aerial journey, and halt
the distance with his head downward.

The excitement attending big weddings
has of late been taken advantage of by
some clever, but unprincipled jewellers or
dealers in jewelry. \ few days ago the
mother Of one of the brides of the week
was asked to pay twelve dollars on a gold
locket which had been sent to her daughter
for "A wedding present. The messenger
glibly explained that the person who or
dered the locket did not have the amount
of money she thought she had in her purse
and sent the locket, saying that she
would give the money to the young lady s
mother the next day"
As there was no card attached to the
present the brides mother would not ac-
cept the locket. She told the story TO some
friends. who said they had been imposed
on by having presents left, and II few days
after the wedding IL bill was sent to collect
the money for them.-New York Herald.

The foot of horse is one of the most
ingenious and unexampled pieces of
mechanism in the whole range of ami
NAL structure. The outside hoof is made
up of series of thin, vertical lamine of
horn, about 500 in number. Into this
are fitted about 500 more thin lamine,
which belong to the coffin bone, both
sets being elastic and adherent. The
edges of quire of paper inserted leaf by
leaf into another quire will furnish a
good idea of the arrangement of the

about 1000. These are distributed in the

LoyDoS. Jan. 1.-The Times. Daily News,
STANDARD and Chronicle and other leading
newspapers this morning all confirm the re-
port that the Khedye died from the effects
of an overdose Of morphine administered to
him by native physician. The true ac-
count of the Khedive's death is, however,
slowly leaking into the London newspapers
They say that the report of DR.. Comanos,
one of the prominent physicians OF Cairo.
and of his assistant. DR.. Hess, IS about as
follows
These physicians, they claim. were sent for
on Thurs day morning about O'Clock and
went straight to the palace, when Dr. Salem
Pasha informed them that the khedive had
been suffering from influenza for eight days.
The native physician said that he had gwen
his patient morphine and that he had sent for
European physicians when serious symptoms
had developed. The latter according 10 the
London newspapers, add that tney
found the khediye pale and haggard
in bed supported in the arms OF two
of his servants. He experienced great
diff ulty in breathing his temperature
was 104, and his pulse quick and feeble.
Doctors ComanOs and Hess found that both
his lungs were attacked by bronchial pneumo-
MA on the lett and bronchial calarIh on Nho
right. Tho European physicians prescribed
for the sufferer and returned % Cairo. Soon
after they were summoned 20 return as the
Khediye was worse, his condition clearly indI-
eating that he was suffering from blood
poisoning. BY that time. they add. he was
beyond the aid of science, and died at 10.
The greatest excitement prevailed at Calro
when the report that the khedye had been
poisoned gained circulation. and much excite
ment is still manifested there among the
native population. DR.. Salem Pasha Is re-
ported to have been sued three years ago for
allowing patient TO die through his igno-
rance of the disease from which he was suffer

says that he was suffering from diabetes when

that his physician should have stimulated his
vital power instead of diminishing 1t by IN
