A CHILD SAVED.

Artificial Respiration Applied Fourteen
Hours by q Doctor.
A child a week old recently vas kent
alive by artificial respiration for four
teen hours by George e. Keith. a we'll
known London doctor, with the resnIt
that 1t finally recovered. When the
doctor first reached the child's bedside
its breathing had ceased entirely. but
he detected a faint luttering Of the
heart and began artificial respiration.
He was obliged to keep 1t up for four
teen hours before the baby began TO
breathe naturally. Every time he
paused in his manipulations the child's
breathing stopped. Even after natural
breathing had been resumed oxygen
had to be used for some time. The
child, Of course, could take no nourish.
ment, and to give It strength its Inns
were moistened constantly with bran
dy and water OF brandy and milk. II
was remarkable what an mount Of
brandy the child required for its age.
A smaller amount than twenty drops
every hour was tried. and the same
amount at longer intervals, but the
result under both conditions was the
same-it at n began to lose ground.
and the stronger dose had to be ad-
ministered. With all the brandy
which was given to the child no odor
Of 1t could be detected on its breath.
The lungs did not give OF any OF It. the
whole OF the stimulant apparently be-
ing used up by the child in its strug-
gle for its life. DR.. Keith says In re-
porting the case: 1T may seem 10
markable that I was able to keep up
artificial respiration for fourteen hours
with only occasional breaks, when my
nurse did 1t, but after a time the ac-
ton became entirely mechanical, and
though ] was thankful to stop, 1 was
not so much exhausted as might have
been expected-New York Press.

European ideas. IL should. however,
be remembered at once that what
might seem immodest In the western
world, Is regarded as quite natural IN
the east. The "char-kadd" Tor head

pretty and costly; Kashmir shawls
and embroidered gauze, ~bespangled
with golden coins and enriched with
precious stones, are used for this pur-
pose; while the ends Of the Char
kadd" droop gracefully over the shout
ders, and a "iika." or beieweled feath-
er ornament, Is worn on the side Of the
head, producing a very jaunty effect.
Ornaments Of jewelry are much af-
fected, scent caskets are suspended
from the neck by golden chains, and
the arms are covered, often from the
wrist to above the elbow-with ban
giles, which vie in quantity and quail
ity with the coin bangles so often worn
by ladies of fashion in Europe. AS
In India, the poor wear silver orna-
ments as anklets and bracelets, and
the negrCss slaves adorn their ebony
skins with the bright pink Of coral.
The Persian ladies' outdoor dress is
far from attractive, consisting, as q
rule, OF a large blue drapery, which
envelopes the entire person, and quite
conceals the wearer's identity. The
head is covered with a perforated linen
veil, which enables the wearer to look
upon the outer world, but does not dis
close her features. A man may pass
his own wife in the streets Of Teheran
and not know her, but she nay see
him. Now and then the veil will be
slightly lowered, and a pair Of laugh
ing, roguish, bewitching brown eyes
revealed. For a pretty woman, even
in the east, does not care to conceal
her attractions beneath a veil, and the
daughters Of Eve in Persia are not in
different to admiration. There are only
eight or ten thousand Parsees left in
Persia, the original home Of Zoroas-
trianism, but the Parsee women are
daintily attractive in dress and quietly
refined in manner

HUMBLE PIE"
'Numble Pie" Was Original Expression
The Word "Coburg."

humble Pie" Was Original Expression
The Word "Coburg.'
We often hear Of eating humble
pie" In the old hunting days Of "Mer-
RE England" when a stag was brought
down. the quarry was broken" on the
spot, the choice parts Of the venison
being reserved for the huntsmen, while
the entrails, heart, liver, etc, called in
the hunting language Of the day the
''numbles,' were given to the common
people. OF these they made a pie call
ed humble pie" Hence to eat mum
BILE pie became to abuse ones self
apologize abjectly. The transition
from humble pie" to humble pie"
was easy, especially in view Of the sig
nihcance of the word. Old. Col. New
come says to Give the morning after
the youth got drunk and threw a glass
Of wine in the face of his cousin
Barnes: you drank too much wine
last night and disgraced yourself, sir.
You must get up and eat humble pie,
this morning, my boy"
The word "~coburg" is used as a verb
nowhere, as far as the writer knows,
except In the United States navy. An
ohieer who gets more than his share
OF duty in Washington. or shore duty
at some desirable station near home,
when he would in the natural course
OF the service be at set, is caller a
"c%oburger," and an officer who accom-
plishes such selection Of duty is said
TO be "coburging." "Coburger' and
"coburglng" are words heard every day
in the course Of ordinary conversation
IN the wardroom Of an American man
of-war, or wherever two naval officers
are mel together. An officer once be-
ing asked for a definition Of the word
"coburging" replied, why loahng
around the throne. / guess" No one
seem to know just how the words
got into the naval vocabulary, or when
they attained their Judgment there.
An explanation Is that when the
queen married Prince Albert of Coburg,
he brought with him to the English
court many Of his relatives and friends
from Coburg, who took choice posi-
lions with little to do at Buckingham
palace and Windsor. Hence a 'co-
burger" became a person who shirked
the unpleasant parts of his duty and
chung to the pleasant ones.

Brlsilos With Importance.

Hamburg is the most serious rival
England's big ports possess abroad.
She enters and clears 1000 ships a
year, an average Of hfty-four a day,
without counting those In ballast.
Hamburg owes her boom partly to the
growth Of German trade, but chiefly
to the fact that she is the biggest OF
the German free ports. Two thousand
FIVE hundred acres Of land and water
are free. That is to say, within these
limits goods Of any sort may be land
ed and stored with out payment OF
duty. This escape from the ~vexations
OF customs regulations, makes Ham
burg a great International clearing
house. Up to last year, Hamburg had
spent 100000 in improvements to
her harbor, docks, and wharves. Ham
burg Is now but a million tons behind
Liverpool. She has caught up 100000
tons in ten years, and is now the
fourth worlds port.-Chicago Journal.

Tbe shah Of Persia. like our early
Ouakers. religiously objects to taking
