worse than compound fractures of the
leg; one had his knee cap broken, three
mad their ribs fractured.s Eleven of the
accidents proved fatal In one of these
cases there was "severe confusion of the
bowel on the right side and laceration
OF the kidney. Acute peritonitis set in,
followed by DEATH" In another there
| was rupture of the intestine followed

was kicked in the abdomen. Died the

with player and received injuries from
which he died on the following day."
One player attempted what is called the
screw" kick, with the result of twisting
his 1ntestlnes. Death soon followed
This is rather an appalling record for
the finest open air sport in existence"
But we did not confine our study to Eng
land, lest it might be said that the Eng
ish hadn't got on to all the tactics of the
game and that these injuries resulted
from caIelessness or want of training"
We took in addition survey of the foot
ball field in America, combining our at
tention chiefly to games between college
students who have made the game
study, and therefore are presumably
not lacking in training, or careless Our
examination could not be made exhaus-
tive, but incomplete as it is it shows six
deaths during the past season, the major
part : of them from fractured spines.
Possibly the lack of training-the lack
OF training the backbone to withstand
the sudden impact upon it of 400 or 500
pounds-may be partially responsible for
these. One of the deaths resulted from
peritonitis, caused by injury to the
stomach by a stone, the player being
damned down on to the stone by other
players on top of him. 1t is suggested
however, by contemporary that this
dCClueuU was Qu6 TO CdfeleSSleSS IN not
infinitely inspecting the ground before
the game and collecting all the stones.
A kick in the stomach caused the death
of one of the Wooster Universitysplayers
Besides the fatal accidents, accidents of
minor kind, many of them, however,
Of a serious nature, have been very nu-
merous. The papers of last Sunday re-
corded one broken leg, one case of teeth
knocked out, one severe wrench of the
knee, which will incapacitate the victim
from lever playingaAfootball again, one
badly damaged nose. These papers con
tain rebukes to several players for jump
ing on to players who were down feet
first and for knocking the wind out of
others.
Of course, as we have said, these things
do not impeachs.t the tactics of the game,
they still remain beautiful, full of in
genious combinations and emitting their
author to military renown. Of the in
genious combinations the "screw" kick
which twists the leg and the intestines
at the same time seems to be entitled to
the first prize.

Cryder, Percy Johnson and Ed
Quinen, left to-day for the Yahk
placer fields. They will go we'll
equipped with horses, tents, pro-

fenced prospectors, the other gen.
tlemen will take their first lesson
in the art. Mr. Cryder assures us
the horses are not taken principally
to pack grub, but to bring back the
gold they will find.

with Kinnear & Williams of this
place, leaves on Monday next for
'Oaksdale. Wash, where he will re-
main until about the first of Sep

grain business. Mr.. Williams has
made many friends in Bonner's

be felt not alone in church circles
where he has been a conscientious
and jealous worker, but among all
who have had business relations
with him. The HERALD regrets to
have him leave and wishes him sue
cess wherever he may be.

Beasty's Pianos and organs,

Hon. Daniel +. Beatty, the great Or
gan and Piano TAI of Washington, N. j.,
is buster than ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty
left home a penniless plow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his
way up so as to sell SO far, nearly 100, 900
of Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to dishesrten him; obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary ma forever; he
tarns to an advertisement and comes out
OF it brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in USE everywhere. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to cell 200, 900 more Of his
make. That means a business Of $40
900, 600, if we average them at 800 each.
1t is already the largest business of the
kind in existence. Read his advertise
ments.

1t was Just before the war. Squire
johnson had been to Nashville. and on
lis return beoaght De Nose. tho favor
lite slave Oh the plantation. a new hat.
Nose was very proud of it. The next
Sunday the squire was driving home
from church VITA his family. and the
carriage overlook Nose and his ''ole
miss" trudging along afoot. 1t was RAIN
ing slightly, and the squire noticed that
Nose was ba-eheaded and was carefully
protecting his new hat with his coat.
why don't you wear your new hat,
MoseS' inquired the squire. You'll get
that old head Of yours wet"
"Dat's so, Mass Johns" replied Nose;
'but dat ole heads yours. and de hats
mine"
The squire used to miss q chicken now
and then. and Mt length the mysterious
disappearances were laid at the door of
by his master.
zeke was "a darky of exceptional wit.
He had picked up o little arithmetic and
prided himself ON his acuteness. When
charged with the chicken taking. he asked
warily:
"Now, Marse johnson, If l can show
you dat | only Tux dem fowls for yoh
good. will You let me go jus dis timer"
The squire was curious to hear his de-
Tense and told him he would do so.
We'll. you say you paid 5000 for me,
and ! weighs JUS bout hundred an fifty
pounds. Dat makes SO Il pound. Now.
If turn yoh chicken meat dat amt wuff
mo an 10 cents "A pound into niger
meat dat 8 wuff So. yoh JUS dat much
better off. don yoh seer
OF course the squire saw, and he used
often TO repeat the story and laugh at
the darky's Ingenuity.
The war came on. and Zeke was one
day detailed off the plantation to help
throw up some earthworks. The enemy
observed the defensive preparations and
began to shell the place. The first mis-
siles went wide of the mark. but after a
few rounds the range was found more
accurately. and the shells began to burst
uncomfortably close to Ezekiel.
He stood his ground us long as he
could, but at last dropped his shovel and
ran for his life, The officer in charge of
the operations met him u little distance
down the road. and hating him ordered
him to explain his flight. Zeke was trem-
bling with fright. but found breath to
say:
"Dey's snootin over dare. and Marse
johnson hes IL poh man. He paid 5000
for me in Memphis, and he cant afford
to have me killed" And with that he
took to the woods.-Youth's Companion.

who is slowly starving to death in this
land of plenty. He is meeting this hor-
rible fate as an alternative of taking de-
leterious matter into his system and dy-
ing as it We're by poison.
Il can't help it," he said. There is
absolutely nothing that can be eaten
with safety. I've just given up boiled
milk"
Boiled milk" l replied. why, l al

tained."
Il thought SO, too, until recently, but
now a noted medical authority says that
when water and milk are boiled their
most valuable nutritive properties are

"All rank poisons, sir-full Of perni-
cious bacilli. couldn't think Of eating

How about bread and butter?"
We'll, there is liable to be u fungous
growth in bread very detrimental to the
health. and If the baking powder used in
1t happens to contain alum. as is usually
the case. the matter is made infinitely
worse. As for butter, not long ago I
read in q medical journal that there may
be more bacilli in a piece of butter than
there are inhabitants in Europe"
But if you ate toast. would. not tho
