Danger in a Kodak.

Keno OaZette.
A squaw with papoose on her back
and two larger ones hanging around
her attracted the attention of lady
passenger on the vestibule special train
this morning, and the lady asked the
squaw if she would let her take her and
the children's picture. The Indian
woman did not object, so the lady got
out her kodak and told the naive daugh-
ter OF the woods to cast her beaming
eouhtenance in such direction that
she could get a good shot at it. The
pointed at her, she grabbed the two
papooses by the hand and made break
for the corner of the depot. She was
still running when she turned the cor
ner by the Palace hotel.

THE DISPARITY IN THE LIMBS.
This Explains Why People Lost
Walk in q Circle.

Peterson's Weekly.
The fact that people lost on a desert
or in forest invariably walk in a circle
is due to slight inequality in the length
of the legs. Careful measurements of
series of skeletons have shown that
only 10 per cent had the lower limbs
equal in length. 35 per cent had the
right limb longer than the left, while in
So per cent the left leg was the longer.
The result of one limb being longer
than the other will naturally be that a
person will unconsciOusly take longer
Step with the longer limb, and conse-
quently will trend to the right or left,
according as the left or right leg is the
longer, unless the tendency to deviation
is corrected by the eve.
The left leg being more frequently
the longer, as evinced by the measure
ment of the skeleton, the inclination
should take place more frequently to
the right than to the left, and this con-
clusion is quite borne out by Observa-
tions made on number of persons

ciaI Plank.
The American people, from their
traditions and interests, favor blmetal-
ism, and the Republican party demands
the use of both gold and silver as stand
ard money. with such restrictions and
under such provisions, to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the main
tenance of the parity of values OF the
two metals, so the purchasing and debt
paying power of the dollar, whether OF
silYdr, or gold, or paper, shall be at all
times equal. The interests of the pro-
ducers OF the country, its farmers and
workingmen, demand that every dollar,
paper or coin, issued by the govern
ment, shall be as good as any other.
We commend the wise and patriotic
steps already taken by our government
TO secure an international conference TO
adopt such measures as will insure 4
parity of both gold and silver as money
throughout the world.

A Famous l<ellC.

The most famous religious relic in the
world is the "Iron Crown" which was
worshiped in the middle ages. The
tradition is that it was made from the
nails which were driven through the
hands of Jesus at the time of the cruel
fiXiOn.
But little is known concerning the
history of the iron crown until after the
coronation of Agilulf, king of the Lom-
bards. 1t is generally believed that it
was made for that monarch in the year
591.
This celebrated relic is now in Naples
among the state jewels. Believers in
the sacred hoop of iron inside the crown
point to the fact that there is not speck
of rust upon it, although nearly 1900
wears old.

His Eighty-Third Birthday.


The old man was called to the stage,
and IN a short speech, gave the conven-
tion one of the best political talks from
a philosophical standpoint that has been
heard so far. He boasted of the fact
that as Whig he cast his first leglSla-
tive vote in favor Of the tariff OF lS42,
and then he talked for protection, illus
trating that through all these years,
regardless of what temporary is
sues have come up, the leading parties
stand today as they did fifty years ago
on this great economic question. Col.
Thompson has served in congress and
in the cabinet, and, he has always been
practical politician. Like Quay and
Platt and Clarkson he, believes In stick
ing to his friends.
Speaking of public men. there is
another prominent New York man III
this convention who has followed poll
ties with great benefit to his business
for many years, who is here In this con-
yention not for James q. Blaine half so
much as he is for the adoption of
plank in the platform indorsing the
Nicaragua canal scheme. This man is
the one who
Succeeded Mr. PIatt
in the United States senate. "Wood-
Pulp Miller IS the name by which he
| is best known, and he is, of course,
strong advocate of high tariff on wood
pulp, owing large interests in pulp
mills. He is also president of the MIC
aragua Canal Company: and proposes
to nave the. next Republican congress
appropriate the peoples money for Its
/ building.
He is. bv the way, large and beefy,
| and in this connection it is interesting
| to note that not one of the great leaders
| here are built on that plan. Slim and
| wirv is QUAY, scrawny and skinny Mr..
| Platt. thin and bony Mr.. Cullom, but in
| not one case is there leader of great
force on the floor of the convention who
| is butt on the plan of Mr.. Miller.
Judge Duffield, of Michigan. is one OF
The Greatest Lawyers
| in his state, and really was the only
| man who made first-class argument on
| the legal side of the fight over the two
! reports from the committee OH creden-
| tials; but legal arguments did not take,
| and so his speech had little weight.
| Judge Duffield will present Gen.Alger's
| name as Mi1higan's choice for the presl-
| dental nomination and an eloquent ef-
fort may be expected.
The position OF the veneraDle Col::
'Dick" Thompson on the presidential
question affords some interesting mat
ter for reflection. Col; thompson was
during the early part of his public life
an admirer and a worshiper of Henry
Clay. he was ready to vote for him at
all times. He saw the damage
worked the old Whig party
by its idol worship and he
in his old age does not want to see the
Republican party of today suffer at
Blalne's hands what the old Whig or
ganization did at the hands of Clay. He
is for Harrison, not, as he says, because
he is an Indiana man. but because his
] nomination will be best for the party.

then concealed myself in the loft, armed
with long hollow reed; while my COM
panions, provided with sheets and masks,
hid themselves in the grove in which the

reached its climax. The preacher was
picturing the horrors of hell and the
hideousness of its master and the sin
ners were shivering with apprehension.
Two large lamps hung in the center of

by the help of the hollow reed blew
them both out.
The preacher stopped in the middle of
his exhortation. The walls blazed forth
with horrors traced in burning, snaky
outlines. There was convulsive gasp,
a scream from 200 threats and a STAN

Apropos of the way the coal barons
are grinding profits out of the consumers
and propose still further to continue the
grinding process, a little conversation
was heard last week at the Pennsylvania
railroad station in Jersey City that wa
very pat. A young New York business
man was at the station, waiting to meet
his mother, who lives with him here,
but had been down in Pennsylvania in
one of the small towns of the coal
regions visiting relatives. The mother
arrived, and after the usual osculatory
greetings the son bethought himself OF
her baggage. She went to the baggage
room with him and pointed out very
small trunk.

New England Andirons Are Rare.

Early New England andirons, or fire
dogs, of brass or wrought iron were tall
affairs ornamented with dogs heads.
They are seldom seen in New York, al
though they are initiated occasionally in
modern wares. A great many excellent
antique andirons and fire sets come from
the eastern shore of Maryland and from
Virginia. The stove drove out the fire
place in New England, but the milder
climate of Maryland and Virginia made
the fireplace permanency there, and in
many old houses in those states the fire
irons of three generations ago are in
use.
A New Yorker takes special pride in
fire set from Worcester county on the
eastern shore of Maryland. 1t includes
brass headed tongs and shovel, a fire
block of oak on which they rest when
not in use, and brass andirons twenty
one inches high and weighing nearly ten
pounds each.-New York Sun.

CANCER OF THE LARYNx.
A Remarkable Surgical Operation Per
formed Recently in Boston.


formed Recently in Boston.
Carney hospital, Boston, was the
scene a few days ago Of a remarkable
surgical operation. Five weeks ago
man giving the name Of John Strong
entered the out patient department suf-
fering from q severe bronchial trouble.
His voice was almost gone, and when
talking he experienced considerable
pain. An examination revealed the
fact that Strong had cancer in the larynx.
This cancerous growth had filled one
half of the larynx, duplicating the
light vocal cord, and was fast eating its
way to the left side. If it remained un.
checked total loss of voice would hav
been the result, and death would hav
followed from inability to breathe.
After several local remedies had been
applied, the operation of excisionof the
larynx was decided upon. An in"isio'
was made through the skin fr e..
top of the thyroid cartilage, ex
about six inches in length along
dian line of thyroid crycoid cartl .
and trachR. The skin and muscles were
then cut away and turned aside, laying
bare the cartridges and windpipe. The
larynx was then separated from the
esophagus, an incision was made in the
posterior wall of the larynx and pack
ing of iodoform gauze was inserted to
prevent the flow of blood to the lungs.
The operation known as tracheotomy
was then performed. This consists III
inserting tube, which answers the pur-
pose of mouth and nose to the patient
that is, at least as far as breathing Is con-
cerned. A deep incision was then made
in the median line of the larynx and the
right half of laryngeal cartilages was
completely cut away, together with the
right vocal cord, and then the cancerous
growth that had caused the trouble was
removed. After the right half of the
larynx was removed an obstacle pre-
scented itself. On the top of the larynx
there is the epiglottis, a piece of car
tilage, whose office is to close the air
passage while food is being swallowed,
thus preventing foreign particles from
entering the lungs.
With one-half of the larynx cut away
the epiglottis for the time being could
not close the passage. To obviate this
obstacle an incision was made in the an
terror wall of the food passage and a
second tube was inserted. This com
pleted the operation.
The void made by the removal of part
of the larynx will gradually be covered
by natural processes with a membra-
neous growth, which will take the place
of the lost vocal chord. The tubes will
be withdrawn and the cavities remain
ing will be assisted in healing by means
of plaster bandages. The patient will
be enabled to breathe and take nourish-
ment in the ordinary way.-Boston

The Ancient Jews Were Great Boxers.

Inc jews were GreaJ
A pugilistic ring was favorite game
with the ancient Hebrews. If that ring
was ruled by the rules of our modern
"code of pugilism," hardly can tell.
The first trace of that game we find in
the narrative of the Scripture is when
Abner, the commander in chief to Saul,
met David's general, Joab, and the for
mer asked the latter, Let the boys rise
and play before u.s." This amicable
boxing, the Scripture informs us, turned
out a regular slaughter, so that Abner
was obliged to beg Joab in these words
to stop it:
"Shall the sword eat human flesh for
ever" From this plain narrative we
can see how favorite the boxing game
was among them. We can apply to the
ancient Hebrews the well known prov
erb in u modified form, "When Jews
met Jews there was tug of war" 1t
seems that a Jewish greeting was box
on the ear. By the advance of cul-
tured humanity the roughness Of the
''ring" has also been humanized.-Bos
