BROKE HIS BONES ON AUG. 26.
Which Regularly BefeH
English Collier.

AS might naturally be expected from
his hazardous occupation, the collier
is frequently injured by accidents un
derground, but the following par
ticulars, deserve, / think, a space in
the Lancet because of the strange Sc
ries of fractures sustained by a man,
as well as the remarkable coincidence
in the date of their occurrence.
A man aged A years, sh hort and well
built was first attended by me on
August &c, 1890, for a compound frac-
ture of the left leg, resulting from a
portion of the roof or top falling and
striking him while following his en-
ployment in Risca collieries. The pa
tient made an uninterrupted recov-
cry, and was able In about six months
to resume his work underground.
The patients previous history, told
by himself, and corroborated by 9th
ers, is very remarkable. With the eX
ception of an attack Of typhoid fever,
which he had when IS years of age,
and two or three attacks of quinsy
subsequently,, he had not suffered bod
lily in any way. He was always very
temperate, and for about Is years a
total abstainer. But his misfortunes
in the mine were many and are re-
markable from the fact that they al
ways happened on the Goth day of
August. Here is his record. At the
age of ten years he fractured his right
index finger. 1t happened on August
&c. When 13 years old he fractured
his left leg below the knee through
falling from horseback, also August
20. At IA years of age he fractured
both bones of the left forearm by
Stumbling his arm striking the edge
of a brick, August &c. In another year.
on August 26, when IS years of age,
he had compound fracture of the left
leg above the ankle by his foot being
caught under an iron rod and his body
falling forward. Next year, again on
the same date, August &c, he had COM
pound fracture of both legs, the right
being so severely crushed that it had
to be amputated at the lower third
Of the thigh. This was caused by a
horse, hitched to tram of coal, which,
running wild under ground, caught
him in narrow passage, crushing
both legs severely. After this he did
not work on August &c for 2S years.
and little wonder, but in the year 1890
he forgot his fateful day and went to
work, with the result that he sus-
tanned the compound fracture which
have mentioned in the beginning.
After this he has studiously avoided
working on August &c. though never
missing work at other times.-London

A LITTLE HEROINE.
The Courageous Act OF o. Young Span
ish Girl.
tTo BE CoNTINUED.1

ish Girl.
Baron Lejeune, who played conspic-
uous part at the siege of Saragossa dur
ing the Peninsular war, narrates in his
Memoirs a singular story of that ter
rible time, a story that speaks equally
well for the chiyalry of the soldiers Of
France and for the courage of Spanish
girl.
There had been fearful carnage with
in the walls of the unfortunate city;
even the converts and monasteries were
rceklng with evidences of warfare, and
the inhabitants of Saragoosa were in
desperate plight.
band of Polish soldiers, belonging
to the French army, had been stationed
Oh guard at certain point, with orders
to fire upon any Spaniard who might
pass them. Suddenly girl of about Is
years of age appeared among them.
y cry of warning was heard on every
side as she approached, but the child
seemed not to hear. She only continued
TO utter one ceaseless and piercing wall:
Mia madre! mia madre!" as she hurried
from one group of dead and wounded
Spaniards to another.
II soon became evident that she was in
search of the body of her mother, and
the pale, agonized face of the child,
whose filial love had made her almost
insensible to danger, touched the SOL
diers' hearts with pity.
A moment later despairing cry an
nounced that she had found that for
,,h Il, 4 al. 4 1.
Polish guards watched her movements
with something like awe as she stopped
and tenderly wrapped the mutilated
form of the dead woman in cloak and
began to drag it away. Suddenly the
girl paused and seized a heavy cartridge
box that lay in her path, with an energy
that seemed almost supernatural. Her
frail, delicate form swayed and stag
gered beneath the weight of her burden,
but she did not hesitate.
A thrill of mingled horror and admra.
ton filled the astonished watchers an
they perceived that there, before theil
very faces, she was taking from them an
instrument for future vengeance upon
them.
The inhabitants of the besieged city
were almost destitute of ammunition,
and the motherless daughter sought to
put into the hands of her countrymen
means by which her wrongs might
be in some degree avenged.
But the strain was becoming almost
more than she could bear; she stumbled,
and cry of terror broke from her lips.
The Polish soldiers glanced from one to
another, and then, moved by a chiv-
alrous impulse, they lowered saber and
musket, as with one accord a hundred
voices called out: do not be afraid lit
tie one! We will not hurt you!"
And the Spanish maiden passed with
her grewsome burden between a double
line of her country's foes, who made a
silent salute as she crossed their
boundaries and returned to her desolate
home.-Youths Companion.

their fingers, throwing the boards aside
as they did so. Morgan found piece of
gold. He held it up with a perfect
spout of oaths. 1t was a two-guinea
piece, and it went from hand to hand
among them for quarter of = min
ute.
1.-TWO guineas!" roared Merry, shaX-
ing it at Silver. That's your 700, 900,
is it? You're the man for bargains,
amt you? You're him that never bun
gled nothing, you wooden-headed lub-
ber!"
dig away, boys" said Silver, with
the coolest insolence; you'll find some
pig-nuts, and l shouldn't wonder"
"Pig-nuts?" repeated Merry, in a
scream. mates, do you hear that?
tell you, now, that man there knew it
all along. Look in the face of him, and
you'll see it wrote there"
"Ah, Merry" remarked Silver, "stand-
ing for cap'n again? You're pushing
lad, to be sure"
But this time everyone was entirely
in Merry's favor. They began to scram-
BILE out of the excavation, darting fu-
rious looks behind them. One thing l
observed, which looked we'll for us;
they all got out upon the opposite side
from Silver.
Well, there we stood, two on one
side, five on the other, the pit between
us, and nobody screwed up high enough
to offer the first blow. Silver never
moved; he watched them, very upright
on his crutch, and looked as cool as ever
| saw him. He was brave, and no mis-
take.
At last, Merry seemed to think a
speech might help matters.
Mates" says he, there's two OF
them alone there; ones the old cripple
that brought us all here and blundered
us down to this; the others that cub
that | mean to have the heart of. Now,
mates"
He was raising his arm and his voice,
and plainly meant to lead a charge.
But just then-crack! crack! crack!-
three musket shots flashed out of the
thicket. Merry tumbled head foremost
into the excavation; the man with the
bandage spun round like ~ teetotunl,
and fell all his length upon ms side,
where he lay dead, but still twitching:
and the other three turned and ran
for it with all their might.
Before you could wink Long John had
fired three barrels of pistol into the
struggling Merry; and as the man rolled
up his eyes at him in the last agony.
George" said he, Il reckon | settled
you"
At the same moment the doctor, Gray,
and Ben Gum joined us, with smoking
musl<ets, from among the nutmeg trees.
"Forward!" cried the doctor.

once been acted on that plateau, when
that ungodly buccaneer with the blue
face-he who had died at Savannah,
singing and shouting for drink-had
there, with his own hand, cut down
his six ixaccomplices. This grove, that was
now SO peaceful, must then have rung
with cries, | thought; and even with
the thought | could believe l heard it
ringing still.
We were now at the margin of the
thicket.
"Huzza, mates, altogether!' shouted
Merry; and the foremost broke into a
run.
And suddenly, not ten yards further
we beheld them stop. A low cry arose
Silver doubled his pace, digging away
with the foot of his crutch like one
possessed, and next moment he and
had come also to a dead halt.
Before us was great excavation,
not very recent, for the sides had fallen
in and grass had sprouted on the bot
tom. In tLts were the shaft of a pick
broken in two and the boards of sew
eral packing cases strewn around. On
one of these boards l saw, branded with
a hot iron, the name "WalruS"-the
name of Flint's ship.
All was clear to probation. The
cache had been found and rifled-the
6 100000 were gone!

CHAPTER XXXITT.
THE FALL OF A CHIEFTAIN.

= L
There never was such an overturn in
this world. Each of these six men was
as though he had been struck. But
with Silver the blow passed almost in
stantly. Every thought of his soul
had been set full-stretch, like racer
on that money; well, he was brought up
in single second, dead; and he kept his
head, found his temper, and changed
his plan before the others had had time
to realize the disappointment.
"Jim," he whispered, take that, and
stand by for trouble"
And he passed me a double -barreled
pistol.
At the same time he began quietly
moving northward, and in few steps
had put the hollow between us two
and the other five. Then he looked at me
and nodded, as much as to say: ''Here
is narrow corner" as, indeed, |
thought it was. His looks were now
quite friendly; and l was so revolted
at these constant changes that l could
not forbear Whispering: $50 you've
changed sides again"
There was no time left for him to
answer in. The buccaneers, with oaths
and cries, began to leap, one after an
other, into the pit, and to dig with

The earliest weather vanes in New
England were cocks, trurEoeters, simple
plates, disks and arrows, and, not to be
overlooked, the sacred Goldfish. In Bos-
ton cocks or broad arrows were on all
the old churches. On the Province
house, where Gen. Gage had his head
quarters, there was a statue of an
Indian with drawn bow and arrow,
ready to shoot. Prints of the city of
New Amsterdam as it was in the good
old Dutch days show the churches and
