A CHISEL IN HIS HEAD.

One of the most remarkable acct
dents in the annals of surgery was
brought to- light yesterday by the aid
of the X-rays. About eleven weeks
ago a machinist employed in the shops
of the Geiser Manufacturing company,
at aynesboro, Pa, was found lying I'M
conscious at the side OF the machine
he had been operating. There was a
cut across the bridge of his nose, an
other below the chin, and still anoth-
er on one of his legs. The machine had
contained two steels chses each five
and half inches long, one inch wide,
and one-quarter inch thick. One of
the chisels was found lying on the
floor near the machine, but, although
a diligent search was made, the other
cbisel could not be found.
The injured man was given medical
attention at his home and later was
brought to Baltimore and taken to st.
Joseph's hospital, on North Caroline
street. He was treated in one of the
wards, and, after several weeks, the
wounds healed. About three weeks ago ,
the patient began to complain of a
stiffness in the muscles of the neck, |
and later a partial paralysis of some
of the nerves of the face and neck !
developed. The conclusion was reach
ed that there was some foreign sub !
stance in the wound, and it was de |
cided that the patient should be photo |
by the X-rays. Professor VIII !
liam c. A. Hammel placed the patient |
under the action of the rays, and by |
means of the Horoscope located the |
lost chisel in the patients face and |
throat. The tool when it flew from the
machine, must have struck on the
bridge of the mans nose, sharp end |
foremost and, taking downward I
course, penetrated the bones, flesh and
until it reached almost to the
vertebrate. Baltimore Sun

years, beginning when the railroad ran

built in trestle form, thus making tht

GRAPE CURES.

| A grape cure requires medical super
vision, as all other methods of treatment
do, and the invalid abroad who under
takes grape cure without medical ad-
vice Is likely to obtain as unsatisfact-
DRY result as occasionally follows the
excessive use of Strawberries for some
supposed medical purpose in England.
| Dr. Benno Lacquer, of Wiesbaden, as
recently carefully considered the sub
| iect of the physiological effects and
therapeutic indications of the grape
| cure. BY experiments of healthy per-
son, it appears that the use Of a mod
crate quantity Of grapes for the cure
does not act harmfully on the meta
boism, but, in association with a suit
able diet, may even favor albuminous
anaboolsm. Larger quantities of grape
iuice(more than four to five German
pounds) have purgative effect and
lead to loss of weight. The fannie acid
in the skins may have somewhat con-
stipating effect if the whole grapes are
consumed but this varies in different
cases. According to their richness in
sugar, two or three German pounds of
grapes contain an amount Of easily di-
gestible carbohydrate food, which may
be valued at 300 to 800 calories. and, ac-
cording to the weight and work Of the
man, supplies him with one tenth to
e-fourth of the total amount of com
bustible material necessary for the day.
The nutritive effect Is not increased by
consuming larger quantity of grapes
because they then exercise an irritant
effect, favoring peristasis and action
OF the bowels. caution should always
be observed in commencing grape
cure; the effects in each individual case
should be noted. The grapes should be
washed before being taken, and should
not be too cold; the skins should be
chewed before being spat out A little
white bread may be eaten with the
grapes to protect the teeth, and after
ward the teeth may be cleaned. and

three feet, with long blades of lanceo-

an oblong scaly spike, and from each
of the scales grows a little blue and

THE MILITARY EXPERT.

,rhe Nuisance Who Knows Rather Less
Than Those Whom He Insists Upon
Instructing.
The military expert is abroad just
now in Fleet street and in the purlieus
thereof-you may almost hear the
crashing of his teeth. Ills talk is of
strategies and tactics, Of front and
flank, of troops deploying and of the
tented field. He ponders over strange
maps, and can tell you not only where
our men are. but where they ought to
be. Each morning he adjusts his little
flags each evening he sums up all the
potentialities Of the military situation.
File is impassioned also and ever ready
for debate and argument. He smites
the table and asks his trembling listen
er, "Can you tell me what has become
of the Onety-oneth Regiment? Eth?
Just tell me that. Take it from me,
Sir. they're chawed up, and the War
Office Is concealing the disgraceful
news" To soothe him you murmur,
ut will all be found out one day; some
one will miss the big drum, questions
will be asked in Parliament. and you
will be justified" But he refuses to be
,onfortGd, and ever and anon, with
the melancholy cadence of minute
gun at sea- he may be heard to say,
Where that Onety-oneth? That's what
want to know"
OR in rash, unguarded moment you
tell him of some rival expert who has
other plans for the campaign whats
that?" he yells, suddenly projecting his
head over the table till his face is with

curious forrunners of the luxurious
sleeping cars of the present day had
proved to be too heavy for practical use
on the road and had been placed aside
to be used only when an emergency
called for their use, the road being short
of rolling stock. there being but four
passengers cars on the road besides the
two diamond cars. This fatal excur-
sion was one of the emergencies and the
diamond cars We're never run again.
They became boarding cars for track
laborers, and generally fell into decay,
and the last vestige Of these pioneer
sleeping cars disappeared years ago
They and their structure were vivid
enough in the memory of men twenty
years ago, however, to show both
George s. Pullman and Webster Wag-
ner how baseless their claims to be the
inventors of the sleeping car was, and
to call a halt in putting on the record
any more in relation to such claims.

the spick and span little Monticello with
the executive committee and it's invited

along in a well-churned wake on her way

cheer the returned heroes in voice that

three mighty cheers burst forth. The
