Curious Aids for a Young Nan Who Is In
the Hospital with an Injured Spine.

Curious Aids for Young NA3n VINO ls Ail
the Hospital with an Injured Spine.
Lee A. Hervey, well-known young
man of the Woodside section of Newark,
ing from injuries of the spine in the
nature of a dislocation of the vertebrate.
Leading surgeons have been unable pre-
cisely to define the injury.
Six weeks ago he was riding on the
rear platform of Broad street trolley
car, crowded and going at 8 high rate
of speed. 1t collided with another car
that had stopped at crossing. Hervey
was thrown backward against the rail-
ing with a force that almost doubled
him in two. The young man was of
slender build and at the same instant
that his body struck the railing his head
was thrown backward with a snap that
made it almost touch the middle of his
back. He hung almost motionless and
the conductor and passengers who rushed
to the young mans assistance thought
that he was dead.
Absolute immortality was required,
that natures healing process should not
be disturbed, and in order to secure that
the patients head, neck and almost the
entire back to the base of the spine was
imbedded in sandbags.
In that position, without moving
scarcely a muscle, young Heryey has
been for the last six weeks, and the sur
geon says it is impossible to tell how
much longer he will have to remain that
way
Hervey is certainly recovering, for
while unable as yet to move either arms
or legs, he experiences sensations in
both, and that is Indicative of Il resump-
ton of healthy condition of the spinal
cord, because while it does not control
the motion of these limbs, it does the
sensations.
All the doctors agree that the case is
one of the most remarkable on record
Several specialists have examined the
patient and consulted with his attend
ants.
Hervey maintains a stoical demeanor
and is very little trouble to his attend
ants. He is confident that he will re-
cover.-New York Journal.

In q recent circular of the State For

on forest land and of the nature and
quality of forest soil. The notion pre-

when pines are gone, they are gone for
ever" and that the soil in which they
grew is worn out and is unfit for further
growth Of trees. This idea is not only
an INJURY to the preservation of forests,
but 1t dlscOurages the growing of trees
on the prairie, where the present system
is one adapted only to the immediate
needs OF the proprietor
MI. Barrett notes the wide variance
IN the order of the alteration of trees in
different localities and under varying
circumstances, shows how some of the
quicker groWths. poDlars, aspens and ca
noe blrches gain possession of the land
and often times keep it through their
innumerable seeds, which find paradise
IN every cleared or burnt area. He
shows also that the more valuable trees,
cakes and pines even now are able some
times to regain possession when the
qulck-groWing trees have passed on, and
urges that with cultivation and care the
most useful trees might be readily re-
placed

the fallen leaves and limbs, the carbon

III New York, on his way to Washington,
stopping, as was his habit, at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, he asked me to walk with
him to his room, fronting on Twenty
third street, on the parlor floor, and he
slowly, as ii it were a task, unlocked the
door. There was a sparkle of autumnal
crispness in the air, and he had fire
that glittered and threw shadows about
ftfully. There was not much to say. 1t
was plain at last that Mr.. Blaine was
fading, that he had within a few weeks
failed fast
His great, bright eyes were greater
than ever, but not so bright. His face
was aWfully white; not that brainy pal
lor that was Notwithstanding else.
He seated himself i'll the light of the
fire, on an easy chair. There was
knock at his door and a servant handed
him card, and he said: No. and we
were alone. | could not think of word
of consolation, and in moment he APP
peared to have forgotten me, and he
stared in fixed, rapt dream at the
Pickering flame in the CRATE. 1t occurred
to me to get up and go away quietly, as
conversation was impossible, for there
was too much ITO say.
1t came to me that l ought not to
leave him alone. Something in him re-
minded me of the mystical phrases Of
the transcendent paragraph of his ora
ton on Garfield, picturing the death of
the second martyred President by the
ocean, while far-off white ships touched
the sea and sky, and the fevered face
of the dying man felt ''the breath of
the eternal morning"
Some weeks earlier Mr.. Blaine and
had had deep talk about men and
things, and he was very kind, and his
boundloss generosity of nature never re-
vealed itself with greater or sadder
charm He now remembered that con-
versation, as a word disclosed, and said:
''I could have endured all things if my
boys had not died. The door opened

DUN's COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

A Very Moderate and Yet Distinct I'M
prOvement Seen In the Purchase OF Ma
terials-A General Advance In Produce
MISUNDERSTANDING Buying of Wool
Continues-More Inquiry In Finished
Products of Iron-Failures.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26-R. 6. Dun &
Co. say this morning;
A very moderate and yet distinct
improvement is seen in the buying of
materials, which stiffens prices; also
in orders for products of some indus
tries, in money markets and in ex-
ports of staples. 1t has started some
important works and prompted few
considerable contracts. While the
gain in working force is not great it
seems clear that for the first time in
many months there is some net gain.
An important change is the general
advance in produce markets, especially
in wheat, which rose sharply on Thurs
day and Friday closing 5 Is cents higher
for the week. Reports of crops abroad
were supposed to be the chief cause,
as visible supplies in this country in
creased largely, but for the first time
since July ] western receipts fell be-
low those of the same week last year.
Atlantic exports, flour included, were
for the week little more than a year
ago, for September 1000, 900 bushels
more and u, SO7, $50 bushels since July
l against Il, Us, 305 last year. If there
should come an unusual foreign de-
mand it would make great difference
with future business.
Cotton advanced an eighth a week
ago. but lost three-sixteenths, and
with full receipts might have gone far
ther but for resumption of work by
several important mills. Much less
than the full capacity of mills is work
ing, and the demand for goods has
been quite slack, with decline of a
sixteenth in print cloths, but in other
goods recent advances are maintained.
Speculative buying of wool does not
abate, sales for four weeks having
been "a, S44, 400 pounds, against %, 1885,
go last year, but no gain in prices re-
suited. A few of the wooden mills are
resuming, the belated demand for
heavy goods constituting most of the
gain visible, but manufacturers show
confidence that more goods will be
wanted when the future is more clear.
Finished products of iron met more
inquiry and the placing of contracts
battle ships, for one large building
and for several bridges, explain the
starting of two or three works, but
after such months as have passed a
little business is gain. A sharp fall
of two dollars per ton in low phos-
phorus pig and slight rise in gray
forge at Pittsburgh and in steel plates
are the only changes noted in prices.
Tin plates are slightly lowered by
home consumption to So. So against
So. so for foreign and tin is a shade
weaker at 13c., copper at SlO75 and
lead at So. so.
There is no change in the boot and
shoe manufacture.
Failures for the week have been 3l5
in the United States against 216 last
year and 80 in Canada against so last
year.

for it is an inviolable law that the vol
ume of real money-the money of ulti-
mate redemption-fXes the value of the
world.
The demonetizing act of our congress
in 1878, followed by the action of Ger
many, France, Italy, Austria, Russia,
Belgium and other countries, had the
effect of cutting the $4,000, 100000,
which at that time was the worlds vol
ume of money, in halves and throwing
one-half away. Silver was discarded as
a measure of values and the duty
thrown on gold. As result prices, the
world over, have fallen about so per
cent. The purchasing power Of gold
has increased to that eXtenE. Bonds
and other forms of invested wealth, on
which the principal and interest are
payable in gold, have increased in
values, and it is the only species of
property that has increased. The fact
that much silver has been coined and
put in circulation does not count, be-
cause its original function as measure
of values has been taken away Silver
is merely secondary money; it is no
longer unit of values, and, like the
greenback, has to lean upon gold as re-
