A pathetic incident which happened
recently in this city shows that strong
will can sometimes do more in combat
ing dread disease than all the skill of
the medical fraternity. An entire fam
lily consisting of both parents and four
children of tender age. was stricken
with malignant pneumonia The wife
was apparently the worse sufferer. and
her case was given up by the doctors as
beyond hope Meanwhile her husband
became suddenly worse and died. Ev
erything that medical science could do
had been done for the wife without
avail, and after consultation the ply
sicians decided to take desperate risk
and tell her of her husbands death.
reasoning that the shock might kill her,
but also might arouse her ebbing
strength and assist in checking the
coma which was already presaging dis
solution.
The experiment was tried, and when
the devoted mother learned that her
death would leave her children without
q protector, her mother love aroused her
last energies and she not only survived
the great shock Of her life partner 8
death but she actually recovered. -

Among the many curious things
noted by the actuaries the following
are n few Of the most interesting. Wo-

long life than men ami the chances Of
married people are distinctly higher

From the data proNiAed by the rec

duced that the peaceful Quaker have
most frequently received the hlc ssings
of long life promised in the fifth COM

markably high among Methodist clergy
men. Annuitants as class live from
three to five years longer than other
people, and this Is not due To human

In The Pail Mall Magazine w. Clark
Russell quotes the instructions given by
the Earl of Lindsay in 1885 TO his cap
tains:
1.-The keynote is struck with the de
votional spirit of the age The chief in
command is to take care that all the
officers and companies of the ships
worship God twice a day. Swearing,
drunkenness, robbery, sleeping on watch
and the like were to be punished ac-
cording to the order and custom Of the
sea. Punishments were brutally severe
in those times. They marooned- that is,
they set man ashore alone on desc
late coast or island and left him to
starve, to be destroyed by savages or
wild beasts.
"They keel hauled that is they
dragged man naked by yard arm
whips under the bottom of a ship and
drew him up raw and bloody with the
harsh wounding of barnacles and spike
like adherences, only to be submerged
afresh ere the unhappy miscreant could
fetch full breath. They nailed man
to the mainmast by driving a knife
through his hand. For murder Chat
was often manslaughter) they tied the
living to the dead. back to back. and
threw them overheard.

A big, uncouth looking stranger, with
shoulders like a Hercules, walked into a
department store late one afternoon,
and, after gazing about a minute, step
ped up to salesman and made known
his wish to buy shirt. A couple of
samples were shown him, and he in
formed the salesman that either one
would do.
1t was an article that sold for 81. 80.
and in making payment the stranger
pulled from his hip pocket huge roll
of bills. He apparently skinned them
over in search of a small bill, but he
could not find one of less denomination
than $500 One of these was handed
the surprised salesman, bat he arose to
the occasion and sent it away with the
cashboy. When the change came, il
was nearly all in small bills. The stran-
ger interrupted the salesman in his
work of counting the bills by reaching
for the pile and wadding il into his hip
pocket

ID Is a very difficult problem To ascer-
tain the numerical superiority of lyd-
dite over other explosives. 1t is certain
ly six times more powerful than nitro
glycerin. which in turn is at least eight
times more powerful than the same
weight of gunpowder Further. all ex-
perience shows that its effects are spread
over a much greater area than in the
case Of nitroglyccrin or dynamite,
which are intensely local in their ac-
ton. II has been frequently erroneous
ly stated that lydGite or melinite may
be used as substitute for cordite or
gunpowder in prOpelling a projectile.
Such could not be the case, however, as
the explosion takes place so rapidly
that the chamber Of the gun would he
inevitably shattered
Probably one of the greatest advan-
tages of lyddite is its absolute safety TO
handle. which we can realize when we
recall its use in the arts for over CEN
fury without its powers being even sus-
pected IN this respect. combined with
its superlative destructive capacities,
lyddite approaches an ideal explosive
for shells, and it is safe to predict that
it will play an extremely important
part in the great military operations of
the future Chambers Journal
