Breaks His Neck Often.

Albert Patterson, the man whose
neck literally hangs by thread and
who has been an inmate of Jefferson
College since September last. intends
leaving the hospital in a day or so
comparatively cured-that is to say
as near cured as he ever will be-
When the man entered the hospital
he had already broken his neck on
three different occasions. He showed
up at the hospital all of sudden one
day, and startled DR.. Egan by saying
he had his neck broken some time
before and he had felt little pain
back OF it yet. DR.. Egan admitted
him to the hospital, and found the
case to be one of the most remarkable
in the annals of surgery.
DR.. III. "A. Wilson, the lecturer on
OrthOpedies, afterward examined the
man, and lectured on his case before
a clinic. At this time Patterson was
wearing a stiff bandage round his
neck, and, owing to it being an insult
ficient support, he jerked his neck out
of place three times while in the hos
pital. On each occasion he fell down
paralyzed, and but for the prompt at
tentiOn of DR.. Egan in replacing his
neck in position he would have died.
DR.. Fl. A. Wilson, in order to obvi-
ate the recurrence Of these accidents.

paratus to hold the mans head in

OPPOSED TO BEDS.
People Who Sleep on the Floor. in Chairs,
or Standing Up.

People Who Sleep on the Floor, in Chairs
or Standing Up.
Several persons, from some cause OF
other, have resolved at various periods
not to sleep in bed. Perhaps the in
dividual who kept his resolution the
longest, says Spare Moments, was
Christopher Pevitt, of York, who
died in 1896, aged SO. He was a
carver and guilder by trade, but dur
ing the earlier part of his life served
in the army. His house at York,
after he had settled down, was acct
dentally burned down, and he there
fore formed the singular resolution of
never again sleeping in bed, lest he
should be burnt to death while asleep
or not have time, should such a mis-
fortune again befall him, to remove
his property. The resolution he rig
idly kept for the past forty years of
his life, his practice being to repOse
on the floor, or on two chairs, or Sit
ting in chair, but always with his
clothes on. He lived entirely alone
and was his own housekeeper, and
seldom admitted any one into his
habitation. Among other articles
which composed his home was hui
man skull. which he left strict injunc-
tiOnS should be inferred with him.
A pedestrian named Ernest Men
sen, who tlOuriShed in the third decade
Of this country, and who once ran
from Calcutta to COnStantinOple in
tifty-nine days, when employed as a
courier, took very little rest, and
never slept in bed when on his
travels. He got short maps Of only
ten or fifteen minutes at time each
day, as and when he could, and took
them standing or leaning against a
tree, with a handkerchief over his
face. Only the other day man, on
being charged with begging, declared
that he had not slept in a bed for
thirteen years, but took his nights
rest in dOOrways and passages.
The japanese never sleep in bed,
but the same spOtleSs floor that
answers for table, chairs, and dancing
stage is utilized also for sleeping pur-
poses. They sleep in great wadded
coat, and putting their arms into the
long sleeves, fold it over them and go
to sleep upon the floor with block
of wood Saced under the neck for a
pillow. Perhaps the strangest sleep
ing place was one discovered few
years ago, when the police of Buda-
pest found thirty persons Of both
sexes lying in dirty, but warm
stream of water that flowed out of
mill. The water was shallow, and
the Migrants had got into it for
warmth, taking stones for pillows.

Hats of the Beaver.

1t will be bad for the beaver if the
praise which is being so freely be-
slowed upon its fur should lead to
beaver hats becoming fashionable
again. 1t is hygienic according to-
one authority, economical by another,
in spite of its high price at first, and
it is generally agreed that for light
ness, warm and comfort the beaver
hats, which were at one time the only
wear, are still ahead Of any others.
"Of all the felts that may be felt,
give me your English beaver" boldly
declares an old song of 1868, and three
years after Pepys bought him "beav-
en-" which cost him "a 5s., which is
assurance dOubly sure that they were
then in the front of fashion, says the
WarehOuseman and Draper.
The colonies first and the Hudson
Bay Company later almost depended
on the beaver for their prosperity,
and the number OF skins which at
times have been imported is surpris-
ing. 1t is popularity supposed that
the invention OF the silk hat led to
the freedom Of the beaver from the
prosecutions Of the trappers, but the
fact is that it has been hunted all the
same and il any considerable demand
were made upon his felt or fur by
fashion there would be serious danger
Of his extinction.

English Houses.

Crate fires are still preferred to
furnace heat in most city residences,
the soft coal making most alluring
fire. AS the dust and SCOT thus made
are removed by the servants and
charwOmen engaged for the purpose,
the lady Of the manor has no dread
Of housekeeping before her eyes, and
ENJOYS her fire in comfort. The num-
Der OF servants necessary for perform
ing the ordinary duties OF homework
is surprising-frst, the cook, whose
wages average about one hundred dol
lars year; an upper and under
housemaid, the first paid one hundred
dollars year, the other paid ten or
fifteen dollars less, and in the larger
families fOotman, and sometimes a
butler, as well as a lady's maid, and, if
there are a number of children, one
or two nursery maids, whose wages
range from sixty to ninety dollars
year. These servants have no wash
ing or ironing to do, even their own
clothes are sent with the family linen
outside the city weekly to be washed.
A well-to-dO professional man who
makes no special claims to wealth or
social distinction will need, in London,
If he has a gOod-sized family, eight

BILE and pushes or presses it tight on
the rollers before pressing it on the
lower die. Gradual motion is thus
impaired to the car without jerk or
jar. A still further downward mo-
ton of the upper die forces the rope
or cable on the lower die, the cable
thus being held tightly between the
dies. A reverse motion Of the lever
raises the frame and upper die and
releases the cable and allows it to run
through freely without imparting any
motion to the car, which is then
brought to a standstill by the action
Of the brakes.

A New Industry In the Bahama Island.

A New Industry In the Bahama Islands.
For years the inhabitants of these
islands have been making a living by
fruit and sponge culture, and spend
ing their energies trying to exter-
inmate pest in the shape of a
fibrous plant that has overran the
islands. Recently a sensible man,
who was sent there by Great Britain,
discovered that this flbrous plant was
remarkably fine specimen of the
sisal grass, whose cultivation, of an
inferior quality, in Mexico, for the
use in rope making, has built up large
fortunes in the business. Now the
people are going into the business Of

the export Of the fiber next year.
This fiber plant is Of the cactus order
and takes four years to mature.
After that, leaves from the same
plant can be gathered for from twelve
to fourteen years. The leaves are
from five to six feet long. This fiber
promises to find ready market in
the United States.

Does 1t Payo

John Hapleigh was graduate Of
an Eastern college, and had studied
with special reference to the teaching
Of rhetoric and elocution. He had
brilliant powers, and, armed with ex-
cellent credentials, he applied for a
position in a Western university.
Pending the action Of the univer-
sity board Of trustees upon his appli-
cation, the young teacher spent So
cial evening with one of the profess
sOrs. Several invited guests were
present, among them the president
Of the university,
During the evening, as the guests
were talking together, the president
overheard the following little dialogue
between the young applicant for the
chair of elOcution and the son Of the
hostess:
do you play tennis?" asked the
young fellow.
You bet do" replied the candi-
date for a professorship.
Its fine game, don't you think
so?"
Bang up?"
did you play baseball in college?"
well, l should smile! l was way
out of sight in it,"
That was all the president heard;
and it was all said by the professor in
a tone of fun, with an evident desire
to be free and easy with the lad, and
not to appear formal. But the presi-
dent reflected that a man who would
use such phrases was not the man the
university wanted, and he took &C
ton accordingly.
When the young mans application
was refused he was much surprised,
as he had fully expected to secure the
position. He is to-day filling an in
ferior place in spite of his ability be-
cause of that little Conversation

MY OWN TRUE WIFE,
Lady Inchcape and her daughter were
seated in heathery dell, sheltered by
the stunted frs of Sleat-na- Nrecken: for
the summer flies early from the bleak
Northland, and already winters moan
ing winds echoed the hoarser roaring of
the sea.
slow fond you are of this spot, love."
said EngelOnde, tenderly smoothing the
pale cheek Of Viva, whose head lay upon
her breast; "why is it? There are many
lovelier views on our roor Sleet-na
Nrecken, and many softer mossbeds;
and yet it is to this one dell that you
come day after day, as to shrine."
"And is it not shrine?" answered u
va, family, her dark, mournful eyes,
grown larger and deeper than of old,
fixed upon q certain spot of the rocky
gath. which passed near by. ~For here
l saw for the last time one whom I shall
never sec again till the sea gives up her
dead. Over there-there, mamma. our
hands touched each other for one little
moment feel the clasp upon this poor
wasted hand yet And here, where we
sit alone, stood when l met his eyes
for the last time-for the last time.
Her low, sweet tones breke, and sank
into silence.
Lady Inchcape watched her with
yearning gaze.
~Yes, Viva, we lost a true friend when
Captain Edgar died: a truer, God never
made!" she sighed. while her heart
swelled with unforgotten grief.
She would not tread closer TO the
sacred ground of Twas hopeless love.

ever confessed her secret; though her

apathy of grief. had long convinced

built the Clay Stress Hill Railroad Of
San Francisco in August, 1873. The
system, says Harper's Weekly, con-
sists simply of an endless wire rope
placed in tube (having a narrow
slot from One-half to three-quarters
inch wide) beneath the surface and
between the rails, maintained in its
position by means of sheaveS, rollers
or wheels. The rope is kept contin-
uOuSly in motion by a stationary
steam engine at either end of the line
or at any convenient point between
the two extremes. A gripping at
tachment at the end of vertical
steel rod connected with the car and
passing through the narrow slot in
the tube transmits the motion of the
cable to the car.
The speed at which the car moves
is determined by the rapidity OF the
cable and this is regulated by the rev.
OlutiOns of the driving-wheel at the
stationary engine. The rope is made
of steel wire about three inches in
circumference, is supported every
thirty-nine feet on eleven-inch
sheaveS, but does not run directly I'M
der the slot, but to one side of it, to
prevent sand and drift from falling
on the rope and to enable the
foot of the gripping attachment to
pass by and under the upper sheaves
and over the lower sheaves in the
tube. The connection between the
cars on the street and the travelling
rope is by means Of this gripping at
tachment, as shown in the illustra-
ton. The grip is worked by lever
and is the one now generally en-
plOyed by all the companies. 1t is
formed of two frames, one sliding in
side the other. The outer one is Sc
cured to the grip bar on the forward
truck by bolts. aud carries the lower
jaw; while the inner frame, which
slides up and down upon the outer
one, carries the upper jaw. the quad
rant, the operating lever and the adj
justing mechanism, and is held in
place by guide plates extending across
the inside frame, and between which
it slides. The frame carrying the
jaws passes through the slot directly
down alongside the cable without Off
set. The grip bar. on which these
parts are mounted. is secured and
supported by frame on the running
gear or truck, and not on the car
itself.
When the car is at standstill the
cable passes along over the chilled
iron grOOved rollers at each end of the

fixed devotion to the families they

themselves invaluable to their en-
