WHY He

A gentleman, a former herdsman. re-
lates a thrilling personal experience
connected with a stampede of cattle.
He was taking a herd of four hundred
steers to Leadville, and had camped for
the night on Bear River, near it's juno
ton with the Little Snake. At midnight,
when he went on guard, all was quiet,
but in an hour or so, for some unex-
planned reason, the cattle were up and
off like a fash; something had stam-
peded them. He says
/ was riding on an old blue-colored,
line-backed California bronco, just the
beast for the work. l had often ridden
him a hundred miles a day. The night
was dark aud cloudy, and l had to rely
on Sans sure-footedness as l strove to
stay on the tanks of the steers and
turn them until their scare should cease.
It was a wild race Four or five times
Sam gave tremendous jumps, but land
ed right and went on in good shape.
In the course Of an hour or SO l had the
beeves quieted.
When daylight came, being curious to
know what obstacles had occasioned
those tremendous leaps Of the bronco,
l set forth to look over the ground.
Leaving the bottom land, the steers
had assembled a gentle activity, and on
the plateau at the top l had kept cir
cling them.
This plateau vas intersected by q
canyon about four miles long and
from 1900 to 1900 feet deep.
Its walls inclined toward each other
at the top, and the distance across was
fifteen or twenty feet
During the chase Sam had jumped
that frightful chasm four times! His
hoof-marks were plainly visible; and
down in the debris, hundreds uf feet
below, were q dozen mangled steers
that had been crowded OH.

REVOLUTION IN SURGERY.

Promised Through the Discovery of
q Philadelphia Physician.
DR.. J.. II. McClelland, of Pittsburg,
in describing a discovery, which, it is
said, will revolutionize the administra-
ton Of anaesthetics-the discovery OF
DR.. H. l.. Northrup, Of Philadelphia,
says:
""The administration Of oxygen with
chloroform marks an advance in the
history of anaesthesion second only to
the discovery of anaesthetics itself.
1T consists simply Of forcing oxygen
gently through a small body Of chloro-
form. The apparatus consists Of an
ordinary ch~loroform inhaler. such al
Krohne & Geseman's, Of London, pre-
ferred, or q Junker. Instead, however,
Of forcing air through the chloroform
bottle with a bulb, as ordinarily done.
a tube is substituted, which is connect
ed with a cylinder of oxygen. This is
turned on fast or slow to suit the nc
cessities of the case. 1t is perfectly
agreeable to the patient, and there is no
strangling, seldom nausea during or
after the operation, and the pulse stead
lily gets stronger. Under almost any
circumstances the heart action Is
strengthened and respiration becomes
more regular.
'The average amount of chloroform
used Is four drachms an hour. The
average time required to bring the pa
tient under the influence is four and
ono holf miu,toS In n rocOr6 IF ion
cases. Albuminuria Is no bar to its
use.
1.-The longest case in which l have
used 1t was three hours and forty min
utes. In that time we used fifteen
drachms chloroform, or less than two
ounces. BY the new method not more
than one-tenth as much of the fluid
is used. In this way the minimum
amount of oxygen is given. The pa
tient takes it quietly and succumbs
without a struggle. The case which I
have mentioned was one in which me
patient could not possibly have sur
vived under a~naesthetics administered
in the old way. To-day she is well and
| strong. On returning to consciousness
it is like awakening from a refreshing
sleep. During the time Of unconscious
ness the face of the patient is of a rud-
dy, healthy color, as though in the best
of health.
"The method has been found to work
only with chloroform. With ether the
results are not any more satisfactory
than the old way

Turns longingly to thee.
Born Of earth's awful throes,

Stretches of seething shore, .

Up from the waters came,
Mid earthquake shock and a
Slowly thy submits grew,
Bathed in baptismal rain.
Out of the misty main
Into the beaming blue.
Aeons of sun and shower,
Kisses of balmy air
Have made thy slopes more fair
With every golden hour.
Fair slopes with wales between,
Where shadow and sunshine play
With .wraiths of rainbow spray
That simmer across the green.
Far peaks where the sunsets die
Ger the cloud-rack's purple deeps;
Dim valleys where twilight sleeps,
Isles Of the sea and sky.
Deep In thy canyon giooms
Plashings Of waterfalls
Echo through stony halls
Fragrant with buds and blooms.
Land where the summ6 smiles,
Across the sea I send
The greeting of a friend
To thy enchanted isles.
The brightness of truth is born
In the gloom of pagan shrines,
And the spirit Of Pele pines
In the CLEAN of the growing morn.
And freedoms undying fires
On thy affairs burn and glow
With the fervor of long ago
On the affairs of Pilgrim sires.
For the blood of Bunker Hill
In the hearts of thy heroes runs;
Though quickened by glowing suns,
1t is blood Of the Puritan still.
Thy patriot hands on high
The banner Of stars shall bear:

And DER thy peaceful shore
Shall float, forevermore.

the water out of his eyes he saw that
the British had received unexpected
reinforcements
King George Kill, arriving unper-

the American commodore, and now
turned his attention to the stars and

bank with repeated blows of his woolly

We did not, however. Not a word
came to us either from Wiggins or
from the other agencies. There were
articles in most of the papers upon the
Norwood tragedy. They all appeared
to be rather hostile to the unfortunate
Thaddeus Sholto. No fresh details
were to be found, however, in any of
them, save that an inquest was held
upon the following day. l walked
over to Camberwell in the evening to
to report our i'll success to the ladies,
and on my return | found Holmes de
jectcd and somewhat morose. He
would hardly reply to my questions,
and busted himself all evening in an
abstruse chemical analysis which in
volved much heating of retorts and dis
tilling of vapors, ending at last in a
smell which fairly drove me out of the
apartment. Up to the small rours of
the morning could hear the clicking
OF his test-tubes which told me that he
was still engaged in his malodorous ex-
pertinent.
In the early dawn l woke with n
start, and was surprised to find him
