under the direction of Hospital Stew
ard f. II. Wheeler learning their
duties, which are almost entirely new
to all. ~
1t is very important that this depart
ment should be drilled in the manner
of handling a patient in the easiest
possible way, and in learning the work
that the corps is supposed to learn, it
makes them, in a measure, emergency
surgeons. 1t can be readily seen that
for this work it requires a man of in
telligence combined with many of the
other qualities that goes to make up a
good surgeon. He should be man
with plenty of nerve, of good
strength, and withal a warm heart, so
that he will treat the patient with as
much tenderness as though he were a
brother.
One Of the drills that the corps was
instructed in, Thursday, was that of
lifting the patient upon and off the
litter.
In practicing for this work man lies
prone upon his back upon the ground.
Three Of the four men that make up a
squad, kneel upon the right of the pa
tient upon the knee nearest the ankle
Of the patient. The fourth man kneels
upon the other side, in the same man
ner.
At the command they prepare to lift
the patient as follows: The man near
est the feet places his arms under the
legs below the knee. The middle man
and the man on the opposite side place
their arms under the body. The third
man places his left arm in manner to
in measure support the left shoulder.
The other arm he passes under the pa
TENTS body.
At the command they lift slowly and
easily until the patient is resting upon
knees Of the three men on his right.
Then the fourth man adjusts the litter
and the patient is lifted upon it in the
same manner that he was lifted from
the ground.
OF course the nature of the patients
wound or injury viii have much to do
with the manner in which he is lifted,
and ii is only with practice that they
can set n doing it handily and easily.
The corps viii later be given lessons
in bandaging and other matters that
they will of a necessity have to learn.
One squad was given a little of the
real practice, Thursday, when mem

The Services of Judge Day.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat;
IT has been said that in every emer-
gency in this country the men for the
occasion are soon found. They may be
comparatively obscure before, and such
is usually the case, but by some discern
ment of the people, or those whom they
invest with authority, the right leaders
are singled out for every serious crisis.
Such was the case in the civil war.
Grant seemed to be a phenomenon, but
ne had the qualities needed, not only to
win succession of great campaigns, but
to wipe out the armies opposed to him.
He was a clerk in small town when the
war broke out. In the present year of
great events for the United States, involv-
ing new and difficult questions, Judge
William r. Day, late secretary of state,
and now chairman of the peace commits
sion in Paris, has made record, proving
that a man of singularly high ability in
craftsmanship has been discovered. The
services he has rendered the people have
won their admiring appreciation and he
will be historical figure in the annals
of the conflict with Spain.

TEN HOURS IN A WHIRLWlND.
TeutOnic Arrived in Port After n
Hard Fight With Wind
md Waves.

New York Feb. 4.-Incrusted with ice
from water line to peak and with wrenched
ironwork to tell of the cyclone ii encount-
cred on the voyage over, the Teutonic came
into port to-day after the hardest fight 1t
has ever experienced. For six days and
fourteen hours its passengers lived in hour
ly peril of being flung out of their hunks
or hurt by the pitching of the great ship
while its steerage complement prayed IN
their stuffy quarters.
The vessel encountered the gale one day
out. The vessel pitched and toiled under
reduced steam until Sunday. when it ran
right into the heart of a whirlwind of
snow and water. That it got out of it
safely is due more to an act of Providence
than to anything else.
The wind Increased suddenly and blew
so hard that it kept the waves down and
the sea actually Gained. Before the vessel
had been steadied up there was another
shift of wind, and from southwest it came
out of the northwest. going clear across
the compass in the space of few minutes.
This kicked up huge seas, and for miles 1t
looked like the vortex of whirlpool.
The combers swept the decks Of the ves-
sci. and as they struck the heated pipes
great clouds of steam arose. The Teutonic
pitched and rolled terribly. and the steer
age passengers alternately prayed and
wept; Officers went TO the cabin and tried
who were on the verge of panic.
After a siege of ten hours the vessel
worked out of the whirl of elements and
poked its nose into Il northwest gale. The
officers say that they never experienced
such conflict of winds before. and state
that they probably got into what by this
time has probably developed into a number
of dangerous waterspouts. Every passen-
ger on the vessel was a victim of seaSick-
ness. 1t will take two days to remove the
crust of ice and salt from the steam pipes
and ironwork.

CRAzED AT A WEDDING.
DIR. Evans, a Prominent Young Pro-
fessOr, Loses His Reason and
Dances I'm n Church.

New York, Feb. 4.-Dr. Edward Evans.
the youngest doctor Of philosophy in
Princeton's alumni. lost his reason at a
church wedding in Trenton to-day and
went dancing down the aisles of the church
while the wedding march was being played.
It was the wedding of Miss Emma Fitz
George. of Trenton. to H. Russell Fox, Of
Philadelphia. and the fashionable society Of
both cities filled the church.
A few months ago Evans accepted pro-
fessorship in Lafayette college, but his wide
learning had given him views on religion
which were not orthodox, and he didn't re-
ant principal of high school at Pottstown.
Pa. His nights he spent in study.
He put aside his studies to go to the Fox
Fitz George wedding. He made a striking
figure as he took his seat among the
guests. The STANCE excitement of the we'd
ding set his nerves to throbbing wildly.
The wedding march had just begun when
Evans, grinning idiotically. sprang to his
feet. With a bound he was in the aisle
chanting weird song.
The fashionable congregation was dunn
founded. Every eye was fixed upon him.
He reached the end of the aisle. still sing
ing. when an usher offered him his arm.
Evans took 1t and walked out of the church
riage. thoroughly exhausted and was driv-
en- home. Two minutes later the bridal
party appeared and the wedding occurred
without further unusual incident.
Mr.. Evans Is resting quietly at his home.
His physicians say that with quiet and rest
from study he will recover. Even in his COL
lapse he pleads for his books
