POINTS IN ANESTHESIA.

The medical profession in especial
will be interested in the statement late
ly made by prominent London chloro
formist, namely: that the dangers to
both nearJ and respiration are occa-
stoned, reheXly, by the irritating action
Of the chloroform on the teminations
of the trigeminus distributed to the
mucous membrane of the nose, and that
the same point applies to any other
aresthetic taken through the nose; and
the means of obviating this consists in
first anesthetizing such membrane of
the nose by using cocaine, which is an
antidote TO chloroform. In fifty cases
in which cocaine was employed in this
manner the following conclusions were
arrived at: First, the commencement
of anesthesia is less disagreeable to the
patient, who never makes defensive
movements; second. oftentimes the ex-
element stage is wanting and is al
ways slight, except in cases Of alcohol
les; third, during anesthesia the pa
tient rarely vomits, and If vomiting
uOeS oFCuT IL ls dtNoInpdnlSu Win
slight retching; fourth, upon awaken
ing, the patient experiences no dis
agreeable sensation, and is not troubled
by the after-smell Of chloroform or
ether The method of preparing the
patient is to direct him to blow his
nose, in order thoroughly to clear the
mucous membrane then, leaning for
ward or sitting, but never lying, to
snuff a centigramme OF powder con
sisting OF 10 per cent. Of cocaine hydro
chlorate and some inert substance
Repeat in about three minutes, and

A WISE FOOL.

The function of the kings fool was
in mediaevtl times, very important
and he who filled this post had great
most astute men was Triboulet, the
influence over the king One of the
favorite fool of Francis |.
The king. who was OF very gener-
Gus nature, had alceded to a request OF
Charles ". the emperor of Germany,
that he might pass through France on
his way from Spain to the Netherlands.
Francis put aside all recollection of
What he had suffered at the emperor's
hands when he was a captive in Spain
and received him with great splendor
This conduct gave rise to much com
ment, and afforded Triboulet an oppor-
tunity to give some sensible advice.
One morning Francis came in and
observed that Triboulet was scribbling
away very busily on a bit of paper
What are you doing? inquired His
Majesty.
II am writing name down on the
re gister of fools" answered Tribouiet.
what name asked the KING
''That of the Emperor Charles, who
is committing the folly of intrusting
himself to you by passing through your
kingdom"
"But If | let him pass safely"
"Then ! shall substitute your name
for his" was the retort
Once a powerful nobleman who had
suffered from the gibes OF the kings
fool threatened to have him flogged
Triboulet appealed to the king.
Have no fear" said Francis. "If
anyone were bold enough to kill you, !
banged an hour Youths
Companion.
20, Sire" replied Triboulet. would
II not please your majesty to have him
hanged an hour before?"

THE RUINED CITY OF COPAN.

In 1891 the Peabody museum through
the efforts Of Mr. Charles b. Bowditch,
acquired the care Of the antiquities OF
Honduras The work Of this and Of
subsequent expeditions has been rich
IN results In the central part of the
ruins Of Copan are the great pyramidal
foundations on which the temples
arose The principal ruins are grouped
about main structure, vast irregular
pile, rising from the plain in steps and
terraces. and terminating in huge ter
raced elevations. each topped by the
remnants OF a tenn pie The summit Of
the highest Of these Is about 1870 feet
above the level OF he river, which laps

Now that the days are growing shorter
one would naturally suppose that she
would feel a little timid about travel

being possessed of that plucky spirit
which characterizes the actions OF our
New England girls, she makes her
