circled around for eight hours, but

ed that rs long as he was on the YES
sci she could not go on a reef. As
proof o. his assertion he showed 4
pice of wood which was given him fy
a very big kahuna of Hawaii. This
piece OF wood is many thousands Of
years old and was piece of Madame
Pele's big war canoe. 1t is warranted
to keep any vessel that carries il rec
from harm or wreck or disaster of
any kind.

The stems are 80 woody taas the7 are
not considered unsuitable for being
made into siiage, hence the heads only
are used for that purpose. The sun

be grown in great variety of soils.

A TRIUMPH OF SURGERY.
The Case of Man Who Swallowed
His Suspenders.


His Suspenders.
A case recorded in the Boston Med
ical and Surgical Journal by DR.. NJ.
II. Richardson is remarkable exam
pie of the extraordinary feats in swal-
lowing foreign bodies sometimes per-
formed by men.
A man. aged % years.. was admitted
to the hospital. He said that TWO
weeks previously, while he was in a
Respondent state, he had endeavored to
swallow his suspenders and had sue
ceeded In getting down certain pOr-
tions, but how much he had swallowed
he could not tell. He did not complain
Of pain, but rather of discomfort un-
der the breast while eating. The food
at times passed easily into the stom-
ach. AT other times it was regurgitat-
ed Immediately. Nothing could be seen
in the throat. With probe some OBJ
struction was felt.
A skiagram showed suspender
buckle at the middle of the chest and
possibly another higher up. AS the
chief danger in esophageal impaction
Is from ulceratlOn into the great YES
sells, especially when the foreign body
has sharp edges. and as fatal erosion
usually takes place in two weeks OF
less, 1t was concluded that II there
was any erosion it was sufficiently ad'
vanced to make even the most careful
manipulation dangerous. The problem
was how to perform extraction with.
out producing fatal hemorrhage.
The throat was opened, and with a
pair of forceps, Il string attached to a
brass ring and then half suspender
with two buckles and finally third
buckle were removed. A probang was
passed into the stomach without meet.
ing with further obstruction.
The wound was closed with silk
sutures, and recovery ensued.

MADDENED ELEPHANTS.


The Great Brutes Often Driven Wild
by Fearful Tusk Aches.
"Zanzibar," said Robert Crawford,
s'is the greatest market. for South Afri-
can ivory, which Is BsoGght there In
large quantities from the interior.
This ivory is placed in large ware
houses from which 1t is either sold at
once or else held therein for better
market. The man in charge of these
warehouses was very interesting
character, an expert in ivory. He told
me many curious things about it and
among others propounded the following
theory Us an explanation of why ele-
plants % mad and occasionally run
amuck.
"In the warehouse We're a pair Of
magnificent tusks, measuring fully IA
feet from tip to tip. which in life must
have been carried by yerltable Go.
liah among elephants. The expert in
showing me these tusks pointed out the
fact that while one was complete and
fiawless the other was broken off at
the point and showed deep scratches
and abrasions throughout it's length.
Now said he. If you will look
near the base you will find hole
made by decay that had struck into
the nerves and given that elephant q
toothache. And think what a tooth
ache of toothaches IA foot tooth must
have held. In his effort to relieve this
pain the elephant rubbed his tusk
against rocks and trees and drove 1t
into the earth, which mutilated it in
the manner you see here. have fire.
quently come across places where an
elephant has ripped up great spaces in
the forest and torn down the trees, and
I am positive that toothache was the
cause of this frenzy.
"'An elephant in circus going sud
denly mad and killing his keeper is
not an uncommon thing, but I'll wager
that in nine cases out of ten If they
would properly investigate the matter
they would find that the brute's sudden
frenzy sprung from so ordinary cause
as common, everyday toothache.' ~

Good roads must come. They would
become a reality at very small cost If
convicts were made to work on the
roads. Prison labor now either com.
pete unfairly with honest labor in es-
tabltshed industries, or prisoners are
maintained In idlensss at taxpayers
expense. Wherever the system Of work.
ing convicts on the roads has been
carried ont intelligantly 1t has resulted
well. Let the adv ocates of good roads
concentrate their efforts to bring about
this method of employing prison labor.
Tramps should also be detained at this
sort of work Orange Judd Farmer.

Tho Post raleigh N. C.) says, "The
popular belief that large corporations
are relentless under all circumstance a
where profits are at stake, has received
gratifying "shock" in 80 far as the
attitude of the railroads since the Gal
weston storm js concerned, and notes
tho following from the Concord Trib.
une, "We have all heard; q great deal
about the corporations being eoulless
This may be true. They are at least
stern business institutions. What we
wish to say is that when disaster Of
the Galveston nature comes the people
are absolutely at the mercy of the cor
porations, and in measure look to
them for relief. just now the railroad.
express and telegraph companies are
doing no little toward the relief of the
Galveston sufferers, and deserve due
credit for what they are doing. It's
true they have large business interests
there, and suffer froma financial stand.
point, but it is due these companies,
soul or no soul, to say they can and do
do great good when there is suffering
to be relieved"
This is true and just. But for the
prompt generosity of these corpora.
tions in such emergencies, the suffering
would be multiplied many fold. And
it is not only the promptness with
which they respond, but the free trans
portation of supplies and all things
necessary to alleviate the suffering,
whsther provided by governmental OF
individual charity, that deserves COM
mendation. 1t costs as much to run
trains for such occasions as it does to
run similar trains for profit. Yet there
is not railroad company or an express
or telegraph company in the land that
would not be and has not been prompt
to render every such service that the
emergency could call for without price.
When the Philadelphia Press intlmated
the other day that it had nurses and
medical supplies and trainload Of pro-
visions for Galveston, these things had
scarcely been gathered together before
the Southern had its train of cars and
comfortable coaches at the Quaker City
depot, and 30 soon as all could be load
ed and gotten aboard was speeding
through the South, with absolute right
of-way of trackage, on its mission of
mercy. 1t is due to say that either Of
the other great systems reaching into
the South would have cheerfully per-
formed the same service to the extent
of its system.-N. U. Times Democrat.
