Struck by IA Dead Hand.

"SeciDg the picture 0i tnat dead man in

perieuce of my own which via never for

of Denver, Colo, at the KiinhaB. why It

1 win relate the Incident. Ii occurred when
l was running a night train en the Santa
Fe road back in the 70's. Tkis particular
uight had been stormy and Frightening, and
the flashes of lightning were frequent and
intense. We were running atSsad of our
schedule in order to ma ke a siding in time
to allow an extra to pass US, and were trav-
eliug, 1 suppose, at the rate eff about thirty
or thirty-five miles an hour

ahead, when in a brilliant blaze of cleo

burst with force through the glass, aud the
open hand struck me squarely in the face.

held blIndly to the side of the cab Ny
first thought that some tramp was trying
to hold up my train to rob the passengers,
and, acting on this idea, seized my wrench
from its place and dealt the head of the in
truder blow with all my might

the man, shut off steam, and WE slowed

strange visitor. 1 could not describe the
feeling that crept over Inc when climbed
upon the engine and looked at the man
whom believed had attacked me- His eu-
tire body below the arms was gone 1t was
easy to understand what had happened.
He had been struck by the rapidly moving
engine and his body severed as with knife,
the lower half falling to one side and the
head aud arms flying straight through the
cab window."-Atlanta Journal.

talks very Interestingly. He shows one
of the results OF his long residence in Fiji
in a hesitation for an English void where
apparently the FIJI word is in his mind.
''There are some things in my collec-
ton of photographs" he said, (which
could not be duplicated If they were lost.
For example. here is picture of the Fiji
double canoe. There viii never be another
Of these singular boats built. 1t is a lost
art. The Fiiian carpenter of the old
school was trained to work from child
hood. He could do some wonderful things.
This boat is from ten to twenty years in
process of construction.
There is not q nail nor a spike in it. 1t
is put together wholly by mortising. and
with seized work. In making the curves
the parts are dovetailed together in re-
markedly skillful manner. 1t is eighty
feet long. Any carpenter viii tell you that
the civilized mechanic would be quite in
despair at attempting such construction.
The boat would break in two the first
attempt that was made to move il. These
canots We're frequently launched over the
backs of natives, and the pieces of flesh
torn away were picked up and cooked and
eaten.

where she was built. For trip on the
open sea this is good deal of a canoeing
record.
1T is hardly credible, but one of these
vessels was under construction forty years.
When she was finished there was not a
carpenter nor an owner who worked around
her.
Then" he continued, there are the
houses. They were builtin much the same

way. Here is an Interior view. They had
no nails nor bolts. Everything is done by
1oinery. lQ the royal houses the workman
snip is of an exquisite perfection. Their
CHIEFS are their gods, you know, and their
goes are their chiefs, SO that nothing is too
good for them. No amount Of skill and time
are counted lost II expended for the chief.
The results are very wonderful; for the
Fijians are very ingenious people No
more OF these houses viii ever be built.
The carpenters who knew the art are all
gone"
There is picture of Chabau. the late
king of the Fiji Islands. There are numer-
Gus other chiefs, but he claims dominion
over all. There are all the time wars
between the tribes, and they build their
towns frequently out in the middle of
swamp for safety from their enemies.
Chabau was given, waen eight years old,
a club to beat out the brains of another boy,
who was held on the ground. This was
for practice. His sway among his sub
jects was most absolute. 1t only requires
the royal nod for any man to be killed,
cooked and eaten.

When you read in the newspapers, on
the dissolution of ministry, that the Queen

She is supposed to take the advice of the
retiring minister as to the successor he may
deem most fitted to the office.

congress Of Colombia was held in b.
gotta last year. A prize of $500 had
been offered for the best essay on lep-
ROSY, and was awarded to DR. Gabriel
J. Castaneda. Would it be advisable
for our Government, following the
example of Colombia, to offer prize
of $500 for the best plan of treatment
for leprosy?
NV object in bringing this paper be-
fore Won is to invite discussion on the
treatment of leprosy. / wish to hear
your opinions and to add them to the
scanty knowledge that [ possess on
this subject.
The treatise was listened to with
marked attention. A general dis
cussion followed, in which Drs.
Wood, Armitage, Russell, Alvarez
and Day took part.
DR.. Armitage had prepared a
lengthy paper on Diseases of the
Brain and Their Remedies" His
baggage had miscarried and the
article was among his effects. He
spoke, from notes, of brain diseases
he had treated in Wailuku. He
cited seven cases, one being some
what remarkable. The patient had
attempted suicide by shooting him
self in the head. After a number
of operations the man recovered.
The aperture refused to heal, how
ever, and the individual has a hole
in the head connecting directly
with tissues of the brain. An i'm
mense cerebral tumor was shown,
the result Of an unsuccessful opera
ton.
DR.. Armitage's remarks were
well received, and elected COM
mendation from Drs Wood and
Day.
The session will be continued
this morning at 10 o'clock, when
papers on different subjects will be
read and discussed.

Another one says, "But this Is not church work" Neither is that of the Home for the Frendless nor the Day nurseries, but all are the Masters work and for humanity.
 In the report of the New York branch of the Needlework guild was this para graph:
 An idea of the good done by this or ganization may be derived from the statement of one of the officers that during the last four years SO,OOO new garments have been furnished by it.. This, of course, supplies only fraction of the city's need, which is estimated at 100000 garments year. One of the managers at Wards Island when writ ten to about the requirements of his department. replied that 5000 garments annually would perhaps suffice to clothe decently and comfortably the patients from the hospital and other institutions.
 Section presidents and directors, Will not you take such facts as these and the testimony that will be given to you this afternoon from others and put the pressure of this cause so strongly your selves that in the coming year you Will constrain many others to follow you and give to them the privilege of talk ing part in this work,
