He FiddIed While His Leg Was Be-
ing AmputRteh.
A hundred years ago the unfortunate
people who came into the hands Of
the surgeons, generally soldiers or sail
ors who had been hurt in action, were
forced to undergo the operations neces-
sary to the prolongation of life without
taking ether or cbloroforn, as is now
administered to make the patient Un'
conscious, and so free from pain attend
ant upon the operation. To secure
quiet often the subject had to be bound
by ropes, so that much as he might. de-
sire to vince he was utterly unable to
do so.
Occasionally patients would show re-
markable fortitude at the crisis of their
troubles, but none ever showed more
than a soldier who, on the morning aft
er the battle of Yorktown Qct. 10,
178D, was brought into the hospital,
having been shot in the knee. 1t was
found necessary to amputate the limb,
and the surgeon ordered the nurses
to bind the man fast preparatory to
the operation.
"Neverv' protested the soldier. you
may tear my heart from my breast,
but you shall not bind me! Can you
get me fiddler
His request was complied with, and
he proceeded to tune the instrument,
after which he said: 80, doctor, now
you can begin" And he played dur
ing the whole Of the operation, which
lasted forty minutes, without uttering
a single false note or disturbing his
features in the slightest.

From a Christian Standpoint.


The few forcible sentences given below
are accredited tJ Rev. Thomas j. DuCey
Of New York. They indicate that there
is still some christianity to be found in
the pulpit:
"Thers is no place in heaven for those
millionsires who have no compassion for
their fellowmen in starvation. The van.
ity Of women and the thirst Of mon for
wealth have created the conditions Of
the present age, and revolution is inn
minent. Justice cannot be much longer
delayed. The human race is dying out
to-day on account Of the vanity OF the
women and the pride Of men. They
fear to see their families grow too large
lest they might thereby lose some Of
their power and prestige, and the great
est OF social sins is daily growing to be
more common. What can be murder
more foul than this? And l declare to
you that no murderer shall enter into
the kingdom Of heaven. Not only Is this
sin being daily committed, but poor,
struggling women are being constantly
ground into a state Of poverty by un-
scrupulous and designing millionsires
that they may be forced into the great
army Of dissolute women. We cannot
serve God, no matter to what religious
denomination we belong, il we do not
have justice, and there can be no justice
where grasping, grinding capital takes
advantage Of distress and poverty to
make the labor Of millions contribute
still more to the piling up Of wealth In
the hands Of the few. 1t is murder.
The wealthy man who disregardS the
distress OF his brother commits more
than the individual murderer. He COM
mits crime against society. Such Q
man may be a true husband and faith
full father, but he cannot hope to enter
into heaven. Many q millionaire in our
city employs men at 81 week and ex-
poets them to support family on the
plttance. Yet the millionaire expects to
enter heaven. 1t is a living lie. It is
the murder of our brethren, and no
murderer shall enter the kingdom of
heaven"

l submit that they are now paid on q

will purchase enough silver to coin into
$1.75, hence the latter figures repre-
sents the burdens imposed upon Ameri-
can debtors, by the demonstration Of
silver, which inure to the benefit Of our
English creditors. Our American credit
ors receive the same benefits and the
burdens Of our debtors are the same
whether an American or an Englishmsn
is their creditor.

duty on sugar. Harter would like to
have the tariff bill carry duty of a

CORRECT BREATHING.

Extract from Lecture by DIR. j. II. KEEL
Iogg, of the Battle Greek Sanitarium.
Breathing is one of the most impor-
tant functions of the body, and the inn
portance of breathing right can hardly
great pump of the body, and deep
breathing not only pumps the air into
the lungs, but also draws the blood
into the heart.
One false method of breathing which
has some advocacy is abdominal breath
ing, more properly termed by some
"abominable breathing" By this mode
the greatest movement is shown by the
abdomen, through the movement
of the diaphragm, for of course
one can no more breathe with
his abdomen than he can with
his heels This is really the most
feeble of any of the methods of breath
ing. One would better employ that
other and more common false method
upper chest breathing -because by
the diaphragmatic method all the or
gans of the internal viscera are con-
tinually being pressed downward. l
have met number of cases in which
persons have been seriously injured by
abdominal breathing, particularly Ia
dies who had been taking vocal train
ing and at the same time continued to
wear tight clothing.
Another false method of breathing is
the collar bone of clavicular breathing,
as it is termed. In many persons, and
especially singers who have been
trained from early childhood to breathe
in this manner, the upper part of the
chest moves up and down as does the
diaphragm in abdominal breathing. L
have, often seen a wonderful movement
of the chest in prima donnas while
singing. This is because the cartileges
of this part of the chest have been kept
flexible by practice, so that this move
ment takes the place, to some degree,
of the diaphragm and the lower chest.
Central breathing or waist breathing
alone is correct, and this demands an
expansion of the whole chest. One
should begin this kind of respiration
by gradually swelling out the waist,
then as the waist expands, the sides
are drawn up by muscles which are at
tached to the ribs like fngers,-Re-
ported by Helen L. Manning.

BANK ROBBED IN DAYLIGHT.
Fifteen Thousand Dollars Adroitly Taken
From south Bend Bank.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. THE
South Bend National bank, one of the
largest in Northern Indiana, was rob
bed of over $4,000 today. The rob-
berry was committed in broad daylight
while hundreds of people were on the
Streets and the robbers succeeded in
getting away with their booty without
leaving the slightest clue. Chief Ross
was at once informed, and set officers
at work Immediately, but up to this
hour no trace of the men has been OBJ
tanned. 1t is believed there were no
less than four men in the gang, possib-
ly more. Cashier Myron Cambell re-
mainen at the bank which is in the
heart of the city until all the employees
had gone. He then as he supposed
locked the middle door of the big vault
and left everything in the usual shape
at noon recess. 1t was Is minutes
after 10 o'clock when he left. At 1850
O'Clock he returned, entering by the
front street door. He paseed down
the corridor alongside the cashiers,
collectors and other desks and turned
to the left to enter the door opening
back of the line of continuous desks.
As he was about to enter the door
his foot struck chisel. He picked it
up, but thought nothing Of the matter
as plumbers had been in the building,
and thought they had dropped it, Ten
minutes later Assistant Cashier Brown
arrived. Campbell showed him the
chisel. Browns suspecions were
aroused to such an extent that an in.
vestigation was Immediately institut-
ed. The men found the rear window
open, the back door unlocked and the
door between the directors room and
counting room mutilated. A rush was
made for the vault. The door was as
Campbell left it. They swung it back
and examined the safe within. A
glance showed that money had been
taken, but they could not tell how
much. The police were notified. This
afternoon business went on as usual.
1t developed that the robbers secured
SIS 9O0 There is little doubt but the
bank had been watched for several
DAYS.
The raid was we'll planned as
shown by the fact that the robbers
touched no money that would be at
once missed. On top of the safe was a
counter tray containing about $4,000.
Not dollar of this was touched. They
confined themselves to the safe which
contained in the neighborhood of $95 =
900, $14, 600 being in gold. OF the gold
only $4,000 was taken. the rest being of
the $4,000 in paper money. The rob.
bels then closed the vault door to al
lay suspicion and left by the back door
which they unlocked, leaving the rear
of the building as they had approached
it. The chissel is the only object that
appears to have been used. There is
every reason to believe that the rob-
berry was the work of professionals.

the commission man to the shipper,
and the proposition to favor legislation
making the selling of mortgaged cattle

take to the supreme court of the state,
in which the case was brought, case
to determine the responsibility in the
matter of mortgaged cattle as soon as
such case can be brought, involving
the sum of $4,000, the amount necessary
to bring such suit.
