When the House Takes n Hand.


Sometimes the criticism of the house
takes the form of audible remarks adj
dressed by one member of the audience
to another. Cole, in his Life of Charles
Kean," relates that on the first night of
a new play by Sheridan Knowles, at the
Waterford theater, heavy explana-
tory scene was dragging its slow
length along" between two still heavier
actors, who had no effects to produce,
and We're unable to elicit them if they
had. The audience were evidently
tired, though patient from respect to
their countryman, the author, and now
and then relieved themselves by an ex-
pressivc yawn. There happened to be a
momentary pause, when avoice from the
audience called out, in correct parlia-
mentary cadence: 81 move that this de-
bate be adjourned to this day six
months" This sally woke up the
house, and prepared them to enjoy the
more telling scenes which were about
to follow.-Cornhill Magazine.

The latest anaesthetic preparation
is eucaine, prepared from South
American plant, and in its local ac
ton is similar to cocaine, but with
out any of the poisonous effects of
the latter, even though employed in
much larger doses The severest test
as yet reported was the amputation
at the lower thira Of the leg of man
Is years old, without the use of chlor-
oform or ether, followed by rapid and
painless healing of the stump. As
much of the eucaine was put in two
or three tablespoonful of water as
the water would dissolve, and with a
hypodermic syringe few drops of
the solution was injected under the
skin; about an inch from the center of
the injection another was made, then
another, until the limb was girdled by
them at the place where amputation
was intended. After waiting five min
utes to allow the superficial tissues to
become insensible, the needle was
thrust deeply into the muscles and in
lection made. In few minutes ALI that
portion of the leg including three or
four inches above and below the ring
of injections was found to be desti-
tute of feeling, and the operation of
cutting off the limb was proceeded with
exactly as with chloroform. When the
deeper tissues were cut into a slight
smarting sensation was experienced

Oversees Colorado Schools.

Women are at the fore in educational
matters in Colorado. Out of the fifty
nine counties in the State twenty
seven have women superintendent OF
schools. and every school board has
from one to two women members. In
fact. the entire department is in the
hands of the fair sex, to whom United
States Commissioner Harris was ablo
to say recently: "Tbe Colorado schools
are the model schools of the country"
At the head of this system Is Profess
Sol, Grace Espy Patton Of Denver, State
Superintendent of Instruction.
Not only has she become widely
known as the first woman to hold the
high position of State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, but in recogni-
ton of her splendid services she has
won a new honor Of national char
acter. Professor Patton goes to Chat
tanooga, Tenn, to attend the national
convention of the State sEperintend-
ents of public instruction, over which
masculine assemlage she has been in
vited to be presiding officer. Professor
Patton, who is barely old enough to
hold her present position, has gathered
about her in Denver clever cotevie
of feminine assistants. The efficiency
of her work has been generally recog-
nized. 4

The Cow WAA Hamesick.

The COW has long been regarded as
an Unconditional creature. But in a
town down on me banks Of the
Wabash" there is one who establishes
the bovine claim to fine feelings.
DR.. Smith, of the Wabash place,
bought her from Miami County farm
er and brought her home. When sho
reached her new stable she refused to
enter it. After a while she was per-
suaded to do SO, but she refused to eat
and gave up her time to melancholy
reflection.
OF course this told upon her health
and she soon ceased to give milk. No
one could guess what the matter was
except an old farm hand.
THAT cows homesick," said he.
The ailng animal was returned to
Miami County and forthwith became
the sprightliest of her kind and re-
gained her reputation as "a good milk
er" at once.

A MEMORABLE DUEL
Seventy-Efghth Anniversary Of
Famous Nncounter.

Seventy-Eighth Anniversary Of q
Famous Nncounter.
Just seventy eight years ago March
q, 1920, was fought one Of the most
memorable duels In the annals Of thu
United States. Commodore Decatur
and Commodore Barron met on the ia.
tai field near Bladensburg, near Wash.
ington. that day. Both participants
we're wounded, Decatur MORALLY, dying
within few hours after the encounter
The causes which led to the i'll feeling
between these two naval heroes have
never been accurately determined. but
1t Ia generally supposed that Decatur'a
harsh criticism Of Barron on account
Vt the latter's not returning from
abroad to take part In the war brought
about the breech. Certain 1t is that
Decaturs words were repeated to Bar
ron, and correspondence between the
two ensued, which probably resulted
In the challenge. The impending duel
was kept profound secret. Only a
few of the most intimate friends of the
respective participants had even an
inkling Of 1t. Decatur was the first to
arrive upon the scene. He was ac-
companied by Commodores Rodgers
and Porter and several other friends.
Barron arrived q few minutes later
The combatants bowed stifly to each
other and stood waiting for their
friends to measure of the ground and
make the final arrangements.
II hope, sir" Said Barron, as they
took their places, that when we meet
in another world we shall be better
friends than we have been in this"
Decatur is said to have haughtily re-
garded his adversary for a moment,
and then have replied:
"Sir, have never been your enc
my"
A moment later the word was given
and two shots rang out simultaneously.
Barron fell almost Immediately. De-
catur Strengthened himself, but the
pistol fell from his grasp and in mo-
ment he was upon the green sward,
writhing in agony. He was raised by
his friends and carried nearer the road,
where Barron was lying.
Il wish l had fallen In the service of
my country" Decatur muttered.
Whereupon Barron looked up.
Everything has been conducted
most honorably," he said.
Then turning his eyes upon Decatur:
Il am mortally wounded. Commo-
dore Decatur, I forgive you from the
bottom Of my heart"
As Decatur was being lifted into a
carriage, Brainbridge, whom Decatur
had once rescued from a Moorish pris-
on, stopped down and kissed his
cheek.
With his head upon Rodgers Shout
der, and in company with physician,
Decatur was driven slowly back to the
city and carried into his residence on
Lafay ette Square, where he died few
hours afterward.
The news of the duel spread like
wildfire through the city. The follow
ing day John Randolph offered consol-
atary resolutions in Congress, which,
however, were promptly objected to,
and the press vigorously denounced the
practice Of dueling.
Barron ultimately recovered from his
injury, but 1t is said the memory of
the fatal duel darkened his life ever
He lived until the year
1851, and had charge of several vessels.
At his own request he was court-mar-
tailed upon the charges made against
him by Decatur and exonerated.

SACK OF PoRT-AU-PRINcE.

now Morgan's Buecaneers Fought
Into . Haytian City.
When the feet arrived at the near
sst Haytian harbor, writes Frank R.
Stockton, Morgan, the pirate. landed
bis men and marched toward the town,
but he did not succeed in making Sc
cret attack, as he had hoped. A Span
ish prisoner had let himself drop over
board. and, swimming ashore. had
warned the Governor OF the attack.
Thus prepared, this able commander
marched body Of soldiers along the
road by which the pirates must come,
and when he found suitable spot he
built formidable barricade. Behind
this his soldiers were posted with their
muskets and their cannon.
But when Morgan came within sight
Of this barrieade, he considered that it
would be entirely unnecessary to at
tempt to disturb the admirable defense,
so ne marched his men into the woods,
led them entirely around the barricade,
and came out upon wide plain before
the town.
Here he found that he would have to
fight his way into the city and proba-
bly, much to his surprise his men were
presently charged by a body of caval-
ry.
The pirates routed the horsemen,
and, after a fight Of about four hours,
took possession Of the town. Here they
captured great many prisoners,
whom they shut up in the churches.
and then sent detachments out
into the country to look for
those who had run away. Then
these utterly debased and cruel men
took their usual course after capturing
a town; they pillaged, Toasted, and RI
oted. Even when the poor citizens
seemed to have given up everything
they owned, they were told that II they
did not pay two heavy ransoms they
would be carried away into slavery.
and that their town would be burn
ed.
For two weeks the pirates waited for
the unfortunate people to go out into
the country and And some Of their fell
low-citizens who had escaped with a
portion Of their treasure. In those days
people did not keep their wealth in
banks as they do now, but every man
was the custodian of most of his own
possessions, and when they fed from
the visitation of an enemy they took
with them everything of value that
they could carry. Before the citizens
returned Morgan made discovery; a
negro was taken who was carrying let
tiers from the Governor of Santiago, a
neighboring city, to some of the citi-
zens Of Port-au-Prince, telling them
not to be In too great hurry to pay
the ransom, because he was coming
with strong force to their assistance.
When Morgan read these letters, he
changed his mind and thought it would
be wise thing not to stay in that re-
gion any longer than could be helped.
So he decided not to wait for the un-
fortunate citizens to collect the heavy
ransom he demanded, but told them
that if they would furnish him with
five hundred head of cattle, and also
supply salt and help prepare the meat
for shipment, he would make no fur
ther demands upon them. This, of
course, the citizens were glad enough
to do, and the buccaneers sailed away.
