A physician who is connected with
an institution in which there are many
children is reported by the San Fran

coughing is precisely like scratching a
wound on the outside OF tho body. So

heal. Let a person when tempted to
cough draw long breath and hold il

What happened after the Empress of
Austria was stabbed proves the error
Of the popular notion that q wound in
the heart involves death on the spot.
The British Medical journal. in an in
teresting article on this subject, says
the victim usually lives several minutes
till sufficient blood has been forced out
of the wounded chamber into the peri.
cardium to cause fatal compression OF
the heart from without. In the more
suddenly fatal cases blood escapes
freely into the mediastinum through a
wound in the pericardium, or death is
instantaneous from shock due to dam
age to the sympathetic or pneumogas-
trio nerve. 1t has, however, long been
known to surgeons that immediate
death does not always follow wound
Of the heart. Pare, in 1862, reported
the case OF duelist who, after receiv-
ing sword thrust in the heart large
enough to admit the finger. pursued his
opponent, thrusting at him several
times, for 200 PAGES, and then fell dead.
Billy, in 1880, described the case of a
| patient who lived five days after a
sword wound of the right auricle. -Four
instances of gunshot wounds not i'm

From Oliver Hill, Carter county,
comes the story OF u most remarkable
case of somnambuism. A few nights
ago Emma, the 14-years- daughter
OF Capt. and Mrs, Brooks, living on a
farm mile east of Oliver Hill, after
having finished her studies for the
next day, lay down on the bed to rest,
but did not intend to go TO sleep. She
promptly went to sleep. The rest of
the family, thinking she had retired
for the night. did likewise.
About 10 O'Clock Emma arose, put on
her macintosh, and, carrying her
shoes in her hand, left the house I'M
observed in deep sleep. She went to
| the G. * o. track, near the house and
started east. She walked rapidly, and
was seen by no one until she passed
Alden, seven miles east of her starting
point, where the night operator noticed
her, but did not speak to her. The
girls eyes were wide open, and there
was nothing in her appearance to indi-

miles further eastward before she
awoke, probably from pain caused by
the laceration of her feet. She was
dazed, but promptly reversed hel
course. -5elp 5000 slfiy SO sfsz

New Telegraph Instrument-Row 1t IL

A new telegraph instrument, known
rs "Morse watch,'' has been put on
the market. Outwardly ii looks like
an ordinary timepiece, but, in reality,
it is q transmitting and receiving tele-
graph Instruments key and sounder,
inclosed in an ordinary watch case.
This type of instrument Is known to
the telegraph craft under the general
title of ''secret sounder.'' The Morse
watch is so constructed that the click
Of the instrument can be adjusted loud
enough to be heard in any part of a
comparatively large room, or be ad-
iusted to point where the click is in
audible unless the instrument is held
in contact with the ear.
The Morse watch is accompanied
with suitable flexible head band to
fasten the instrument in place on the
head over the ear, leaving both hands
free for transcribing messages or other
work. 1t also has q very neat silk con-
Quoting cord, with specially designed
terminals, so that the instrument can
be conveniently and quickly attached
to or disconnected from the ordinary
instrument of "A telegraph line.
The employment of the art of tele-
graphing has so far developed at the
present time that the telegraph opera
tor is found in one corner of man,
brokers' as well as newspaper offices

| it is desired to maintain for the trans
action of other business as much quie

, We have learned that the torpedoboat
service has been the most dangerous
afioat. More men have lost their lives
on torpedoboats than on all the other
naval ships put together. We know
that this service tries the men, in
nerves and muscles, more than any
other, while young officers have had
the responsibility of independent COM
mands. So this service has done more
than all others to improve the personnel
of the navy. And it is not unlikely

that section yesterday, and he tells
of new and very peculiar vein open
ed up on the Coolbaugh, a property
in which he is interested. At depth
of 100 hundred feet, in cross-cut
only Is feet in length, he has cut a
vein of granite quartz which looks
well, though no test has yet been
made of it. The width of the new
vein is not known, as the cross-cut
has penetrated it but three feet, and

DAILY DIscoNTlNUEs.

With the Saturday issue the DAILY
RECORD ceased to be. For one hun
dred and forty-nine days we furnish
ed the people of Canon with daily
paper. 1t does not require much Of
a business eye to see that it never
paid the publisher. Running a
daily at considerable loss for half a
year is not SO bad, but it cannot be
done permanently.
1t has been frequently said that
Canon should have daily paper. At
the beginning of the Spanish war the
Clipper undertook to supply this long
felt want. 1t started a daily, but it
did not take Publisher Bowman, with
his long experience and good business
Judgment. quite three weeks ex-
perience to see that daily would be
continual losing proposition. Soon
after this the publisher of the REC
ORD concluded that with his youth, en-
thusiasm, and a little money good
daily could be established in Canon.
He did not expect it to be money
making proposition from the start,
nor largely SO at any other time, but
did hope after some months of ex-
pense, experience and trouble to get
enough support from Canon people to
make it self sustaining. But after
nearly six months of expense, expert
ence and trouble, and very consider
able loss of youth, enthusiasm and
money, the publisher of the RECORD
learned what the publisher of the Clip
per found out in three weeks that
Canon City is not a daily newspaper
town.
The RECORD spared no expense to
make the daily succeed. Our tele-
graph and telephone expenses were
greater than the advertising income.
Our paper, patent, and local expenses
far exceeded the subscription income.
We started in to run three months,
then decided to extend it to year,
and made contracts for telephone and
news service accordingly. While all
past experience was against US it was
of the future we were most afraid.
The fall trade and holiday season
were here. If newspaper does not
secure advertising patronage at this
season of the year, there is little use
to try at other times The merchants
here think they cannot afford to ad-
vertise daily, and the publisher, while
being somewhat philanthropically in
clined, felt that it was mis-applied
charity to continue to publish daily
in q weekly town, therefore we quit.
We received many kind words and
some substantial support from a
few business men, and these in some
cases differed widely from the REC
ORD in politics, religion and even
business interests. For these we wish
to extend our hearty appreciation and
assure them that spending money in
