MEDICAL HEROES UNDER FIRE.
Daring Adventures In the Field During
the Late War in India.

Daring Adventures In the Field During
the Late War in India.
When the medical history of the
last British war in India is written it
will prove interesting reading There
We're many difficulties overcome and
hardships endured with the usual ele-
ment of danger. A good instance of
this was when General Woodhouse
was wounded early in the war. A
bullet struck him in the thigh, passed
down below the knee, broke into
pieces and lodged. The Roentgen
ray apparatus revealed the exact con-
ditions and it was determined to ex-
tract the pieces. In the middle of
the operation, artificial light being
used, the Afridis crawled up and sud
denly blazed into the tent, sending
thirteen shots through the canvas.
Now that might have been very dis
turbing circumstance and apt to in
terfere with the perfect application of
the aseptic form of surgery. And
what happened? Nothing. The OPP
Grafton went on and was successfully
completed as if there was no Afridi
within 100 miles.
AS usual we had many examples of
great personal bravery and devotion
to duty in the midst OF danger. Sur
geon-C Captain Beyts arrested hemor-
rhage under hot fire, and Sir Will
lam Lockhart, speaking of the Incl
dent, said that no one better merited
the reward of the Victoria Cross than
he. He got nothing; but that is an
other story. Another medical officer
greatly distinguished himself Sur
geon-Lieutenant Hugo.
Lieutenant Ford was dangerously
wounded in the shoulder. The bull
let cut the artery and he was bleeding
to death when Surgeon-L Lieutenant V.
Hugo came to his aid. The fire was
too hot to permit of lights being used.
There was no cover of any sort. 1t
was at the bottom of the cup. Never
theless, the surgeon struck match at
the peril of his life and examined the
wound. The match went out amid a
splutter of bullets which kicked up
the dust all around, but by its uncer-
tain light he saw the nature of the in
jury. The officer had already tainted
from loss of blood. The doctor seized
the artery and, as no other ligature
was Forthcoming, he remained under
fire for three hours holding a man s
life between bis finger and thumb.
When at length it seemed that the
enemy had broken into the camp he
picked up tie still unconscious officer
in his arms, and without relaxing his
hold bore him to place of safety.
His arm was for many hours par.
alyzed from cramp with the effects ol
the exertion of COMPRISING the ar

vulsively twisting, collapsed on tie
other.
Instantly they picked up the body
and threw it into another long basket,
which was in readiness. In doing so
the headless neck, spouting like a
fountain with blood, remained on the
edge of the basket, and the execu-
TONERS became red with it. Then
they took the head and threw it into
the basket with the body. IT had
been cleanly severed, and, what is said
to be very rare, there was no injury to
the chin. Usually the victim tries to
draw back his head at the moment
that the knife descends, and in con-
sequence the chin is crushed in the
lunette.
After the execution the place was
like shambles; blood was spattered
everywhere within a radius of ton feet
and a great pool of it collected beneath
the guillotine. Deibler and his as
sistants looked as if they had Just
come from slaughterhouse. During
live minutes more another length ofred
tape was unwound, and then the body
was carried to medical school in a
black wagon with an escort of police.
There was the sound of a trumpet
and the troops marched awcy. The
guillotine was packed into a wagon
and the executioners and officials got
into their cabs. Finally nobody was
left but some prison servants cleaning
up the blood from the paving stones;
so the crowd, men, women and chill
dren, drenched but not dispirited,
thronged to the nearest cafes for break.
fast and merrymaking.

A Famous Old Tree,

The American Cultigator says that
the original Greening apple tree is
still standing on the farm of Solomon
browne, at Mount Hygeia, in North
Foster, r. 1. The tree was very
old one when the farm was sold in
1901. The seller informed the pur-
chaser that it was pity tie old tree
was going into decay, as it produced
the best fruit of any tree in the
orchard. The purchaser determined
to see how long he could keep 1t
alive, and it still survives, after al
most another century has been added
to its venerable years. But it shows
signs of final decay, and the parent OF
all the famous Rhode Island Green
ipgs, which has set its gratis ON the
orchards of almost all the world, will
soon be but neighborhood memory.
1t is doubtful if there is a more ia.
nous apple tree to be found in all Pc.
mona's groves from end to end of the
earth.

STATISTICS AS TO DUeLiNG.
Code IL Most Popular in Germany,
with France Next.

More duels are fought in Germany
than In any other country. Most Of
them are student duels, which culmi-
nate in nothing more serious than
slashed cheeks or torn scalps, which
look extremely ugly when healed and
often cause much trouble to the suf-
ferer while healing. OF all German
university towns Jena and Gottingen
are most devoted to the code. In Got
tingen the number of duels averages
one day, year In and year out. With
In the space Of four-and-twenty consec-
utive hours, several years ago, twelve
duels were fought in Gottingen. In
Jena the record for one day in recent
times is twenty-one. Fully 1000 stu
dent duels are fought every year in the
German empire. In addition to these
there are the more serious duels be-
tween officers and civilians. Among
Germans of mature years the annual
number of duels is about 100.
Next to Germany France is most
given to the duellng habit. She has
every year hundreds of meetings Ito
satisfy honor'-that is, merely to give
two men the opportunity to wipe out
insults by crossing swords or firing pis-
tolls In such way as to preclude the
slightest chance Of injury. In the duel
statistics these meetings are not reck-
oned. as they are far less perilous than
even the German student duels. OF
the serious duels France can boast
fully 1000 per annum. The majority
Of these are among army officers. More
than half of them result In wounds
and nearly 20 per cent. in serious
wounds.
Italy has had 2,759 duels in the last
ten years. Some 900 of these meet
lngs were fought with swords, 179 with
pistols, ninety with rapiers and one
with revolyers. In 974 cases the insult
originated In newspaper articles or In
public letters and scores were purely
literary quarrels. More than 700 prin-
cipals were insulted by word of mouth.
Political discussions led to 800 and re-
ligious discussions to twenty-nine
meetings. Quarrels at the gaming
table were responsible for 1S9.
a summary shows that as regards
numbers the sequence of dueling coun-
tries is: Germany, France, Italy, Aus
tria and Russia.-London Mail.

A Colony of Chimney Swallows.

Workmen engaged in repairs upon
one of the buildings of the house of
correction discovered curious con
gregation Of chimney swallows in a
chimney stack near by. The chimney
towers sixty feet from the ground, and
is five feet square in the clear inside,
and serves as a ventilator to the cells
throughout the whole building.
While the workmen were putting up
the scaffold near by they noticed thou
sands of chimney swallows circling in
the air above, and from time to time
darting down and out of the wide
opening of the top. When they had
finished the scaffiold and looked down
into the chimney, sight met their
eyes perhaps never before seen in
this section of the country. From a
point about ten feet below the top of
the chimney, and extending from that
full twenty feet further down, all four
sides of the chimney were lined with
thousands of these birds, as many as
three and four deep, clinging to the
bricks in solid masses, Those next
the wall were supporting those on top
of them, while yet other thousands of
birds, making the sky black, were cir
cling around above the chimney, and
from time to time darting down into
it, while those from within were fut-
tering their way into the open air.
The birds took no notice whatever
of the peering heads of the workmen
looking down upon them. One may
Judge of the number of the birds
there when it is considered that they
covered at least 400 square feet of sur
face on the inside of the chimney and
were from three to four deep. Gen
eral Merrick, superintendent, DR..
Pennybaker, the visiting physician,
and scores of others attached to the
institution availed themselves of the
opportunity to view this strange or
astrological curiosity. The birds, it
appears, have been congregating daily
for long time in this particular chin
ney, presumably to enjoy the warmth

GRIEVANCES OF THE PAiLIPINos.
Why the Natives Hate Their whiIom
Spanish Masters.

/ w ny tiAc
| Spanish Masters.
Native PHILIPPINES, residing in Mad
rid, expressed their grievances in an
address to the Spanish people. 1t
contains extracts from the last Philip
pine budget for the last administra-
tive year 1S96-'97), and enumerates
the following crying complaints.
Quoting from the budget it states that
the Philippine treasury pays heavy
contribution to the general expenses
of the government at Madrid; pays
| pensions to the Duke de Verague (our
| guest during the Columbian exposi-
tom, and to Marquis of Bedmar; be-
sides those of the sultans and native
| chiefs of the islands of Sulu and Min
| danas; it provides for the entire cost
of the Spanish consulates at Pekin,
Tokyo, Hongkong, Singapore, Saigon,
Yokohama, and Melbourne; for the
staff and material of the minister of
the colonies, including the purely
ornamental council of the Philippines !;
the expenses of supporting the colony
| of Fernando Po, in Africa, and all the
pensions and retiring allowances of
the civil and military employees who
have served in the Philippines,
amounting to the sum Of 81, 1906 600 a
year.
What milch COW these islands
have been to the Spaniards What
host of ignoran4, idle hidalgos have
fattened upon large sums diverted
from the unfortunate workers.
And what has Spain done in return?
The document from which 1 translate
this states the facts with scathing
bluntness: More than SIT, 1000, 900 is
the amount consigned in the Philip
pine budget for that year, but not a
penny is allowed for public works,
highways, bridges, or public build
ings, and only $4,000 for scientific
studies, indispensable repairs, rivers
and canals, while the amount set
apart for religious purposes and clergy
amounts to nearly 81, 100000. This
sum does not include the amounts
paid to the clergy for baptisms, mar
riages, et,. which exceeds the govern
ment allowances. The magnificent
sum of $40, 900 is set apart as sub
vention to railway companies, and new
projects of railways, but the College
for Franciscan Monks, in Spain, and
the transportation of priests comes in
for $55, 900.
1t seems really as if the world had
gone back three centuries, and as if
we were living in the time of bloody
Philip II, after whom these most I'M
fortunate islands were named. Six
thousand dollars for all new improve
ments, yet the choir of the Manila
cathedral receives $4,000, and $50, 900
are set apart for the support of the
cathedral. Public instruction, in
cluding naval, scientific, technical,
and art schools must be maintained at
gross expense of 100000, and from
this pittance museums, Libraries, the
observatory, and special chair in the
University of Madrid must be paid.
Add to this the squeezing and pecula-
tion of every Spanish official from the
governor general down to the lowest
alguacil, and it is no wonder that these
people, robbed right and left of the
fruits of their toll, hate the Spaniard,
and will have no more of Spanish
rule.-Manila Correspondence, Balti-
more Sun.
