Remarkable Gastronomieal Featr
Of an Englishman and an
American.

John Collins, who has lately distin-
guished himself by swallowing 81 peb-
bles and has come out of Peterbor-
ough infrmary, where he has been in
confinement as the consequence of this
feat, no doubt thinks he has beaten the
record. He is mistaken, however. A
much more remarkable feat is recorded
in the museum of Guys hospital, where
they have some scraps of pocket knives
that have been swallowed by one John
Cummings, an American sailor. He
and his mates went to fair and saw
q mountebank doing some wonderful
things5in the way of swall knives.
Most of them we're greatly impressed
by the performance, but Cummings
made light of it, and declared he could
do the same if he liked. On being
dared to do it, he took out his own
pocketknife and bolted it. His ship
mates were naturally delighted. They
piled him with grog and affectionately
encouraged him to still further achieve
ments. Cummings boldly declared his
readiness to swallow all the pocket
knives On shipboard. Three were in
stantly offered him, and he actually
swallowed them all. One of the four
he seemed to have permanently appro-
priated, and for six years he expert
mented no more in this way. Even
tually, however, he tried d few more
of these somewhat indigestible articles
of diet, and, it was said, would :swal-
low knife with the utmost indiffer-
ence.
When Cummings told his story to the
doctors, as, of course, he had to do in
the end, they thought him a mono
maniac and were inclined to pay no at
tention to it. External examination,
however, showed that q metal point
had perforated the wall of the stom-
ach and induced the hospital author
tiles to administer powerful solvents in
order, if possible, to get rid of the OBJ
structive fragments of this singular
dietary. Perhaps the stomach which
had held out against pocketknives gave
in to the doctors strong medicine. At
all events, the man died, and they have
on show at Guys some 40 or so scraps
of metal blades and bits of handles and
other component parts OF, pocketknives
all testifying to the truth of the story
the man had told and proving indis-
putably that he had long been in the
habit of amusing himself or astonish-
ing his friends or perhaps turning an
honest penny occasionally in this orig
inal way. Collins certainly has beaten
him by coming out of the infrmarY

WITH A BROKEN ARM.
John b. Gordon Kept His Engage
ment to Lecture Despite
Bad Accident.

In Washington few days ago Gen.
John B. Gordon told the story of q
remarkable experience he had ten days
ago. Said Gen. Gordon:
II venture to remark that did some
thing that not one of the youngsters,
including Joe Wheeler, can do. I had
an engagement to deliver my lecture
on The Last Days of the Confeder-
acy,' in town near the border of Kan
sas and Nebraska. There was foot
of snow on the ground, and my only
way to reach the place was by sleigh.
- I'VE started and all went we'll for
several miles, until the driver struck
something, and out I went with the
sleigh right on top of me. When I
tried to rise found that my left arm
had been wrenched clear out of the
socket, and pulled down to remark
able and painful extent. I never
thought Of anything but reaching my
engagement. where 1000 people were
waiting to hear me. By good fortune
I was near the house of a surgeon and
in a few minutes after the accident he
was repairing my damage. While he
doing that I sent for another sleigh
two miles away. 1t came on time, and
with such splendid pair of horses that
/ reached my engagement on the mo-
mept.
"The rumor Of my fall and injuries
had preceded me and never had a
more enthusiastic reception in my life.
my arm was pretty sore, but I never
missed an engagement in that snow
bound region. How many young men
do you know who could do that?"
