The Westminster Gazette of April % pub
fishes a long list of the players killed and
wounded IN the game of football in Eng

1894, to April 10 in the present year. Only
the more serious accidents are reported,
and even of these the tale is by no means

which were mentioned in the press or
estimates that the minor accidents which
he enumerateS do not present One-tenth
of those which actually occurred. 1t APP
pears that within the time mentioned
twenty players died from the effects of
the game. The great majority of these
deaths were due to injuries from kicks,
but a small percentage of them is as
cribed to heart disease. Two men suffer

than forty-nine players broke their legs,

as the result of a collision, bit his tongue

The Gazette in submitting its report
says: Another distinguishing and peculi-

DUMMIES HISTORY.
How Its Use supplanted the oid-Tims
Practice OF Dlecding.


An important epoch In the career Of
DIR. Maillot, a distinguished French
physician, who died in Paris lately at
the age of ninety-nine years, Illus
tratcd the great timidity of medical
science in taking up n new method of
treatment or abandoning an old one.
DR. Maillot Is known 20 the medical
world as the practical introducer into
! French practice Of the use of quinine
in the treatment of malarial and other
/ fevers.
In 1882, when the French were con-
! Quoting campaign of conquest
the troops and colonists there was
frightful, says Pearson's Weekly.
France was being continually called
upon for fresh levies of men and youths
TO supply this terrible loss, chiefly
through fever incidental To the eli
mate and the life the French In Al
geria were leading. AT that time the
practice Of bleeding still prevailed.
"Bleed them until they are white, was
the injunction which Broussals, the
medical master of the French, gave 20

soldier was reported 20 him. At Bone,
in one year, out Of an effective force of
fifty-avc hundred men, eleven hundred
died Of illness in the hospital.
At that time the effects of sulphate
Of quinine were known, but few ply
sicians ventured 20 employ it. Maillot
had interested himself in the new
remedy, and, going 10 Bone in the
medical service Of the government, he
resolved 90 see il Il would not reduce
the frightful mortality, which was one
TO every three and half men who en-
tered the hospital At first he en-
ployed the quinine merely as an adj
junct 20 the bleeding. He soon found
chat bleeding was killing the men and
that quinine was saving them. Little
by ulittle he left off bleeding, 10 the
great scandal OF the medical profess
sion. Exactly in proportion as the
bleeding ceased the deaths In the hos
pital decreased In two years the
deaths fell off from one In three and a
half Of all who entered the hospital to
one in twenty-six, and finally 70 one in
forty-six.
Maillot quite naturally enough grew
20 be the opponent of bleeding, but he
was SO ceaselessly villifed by members
Of the medical profession that he be-
came embittercd toward his colleagues.
Nearly thirty years passed before Mail
lot saw the complete triumph Of his
IDEAS. Doctors continued 90 bleed their
patients heartily for all manner Of Ills.
But in 1860 MaiIlot was made COM
mander OF the Legion Of Honor and
chief of the medical staff OF the French
army, and his influence, with others,

SUBSTITUTE FOR HARoLUmeER
Compressed wood Being Used 10 Replaces
High-Priccd Material.

The enormous advance which has OF
late taken place In the price OF some OF
the hard woods required In various
special branches Of trade has directed
attention TO the possibility Of pro.
ducing some less expensive material as
substitute, says the English Me-
chanic, and In one branch of trade this
has been carried on with very success
full results. For the manufacture OF
loom shuttles lockwood has hitherto
been largely used, but the price of this
description Of wood has become almost
prohibitive, and IL has been found that
by compression OF cheaper classes of
timbcr-tcalx being about the most
suitable for this purpose-a substitute
meeting all the requirements can be
obtained. For carrying out this proc
ess an English firm has just completed
n powerful hydraulic press 20 be used
in COMPRISING timber for loom shuttles.
This press consists OF strong cast iron
top and bottom, with four steel col
umns and steel cylinder, with large
ram. In the center OF this ram is fitted
n smaller ram, with rectangular head,
fitted into n die which is placed on the
top Of the large ram. The timber is
put into this die, and a pressure OF
fourteen tons per square inch is APP
piled The pressure is then relieved,
and the large ram descends. The top
pressure block, which fits the die, is
then removed, and the small ram, ris-
ing, pushes the timber out at the top
of the die. The timber 50 treated is
made very dense and uniform, and so
close-graincd that IL is capable of TAX
ing very high finish. For the manu-
facture OF shuttles IL has been found as
good as lockwood, and there isno doubt
IL might be applied TO other branches
OF industry where expensive hard
woods have TO be used.

The cultivation of the pearl oyster

Of governmental supervision. The proc

has been boring holes in the shells OF
pearl oysters and introducing therein
small glass beads and stopping up the
holes with cork. In six months he has
pure surface pearls with glass founda-

pearls. They introduce small balls Of
earth inside the pearl mpysel by very
delicately opening tho shell and plac.

animal and allowing the she'll TO close.
This initial process occurs In May or
June; the mussels arc then deposited
in canals or pools and in November the
molluslss are opened, the pearls re-
