Is vast, noisy gehenna, many leagues
in extent, and around 1t are 16 wards.
In the first ward the souls are made to
kneel for long periods on iron shot. In
the second they are placed up to their
necks in filth. In the third they are
pounded till the blood runs out. In
the fourth their mouths are opened
with iron pincers and filed full of
needles. In the fifth they are bitten
by rats. In the sixth they are inclosed
by net of thorns and nipped by
locusts. In the seventh they are
crushed to jelly. In the eighth their
skin is lacerated and they are beaten
on the raw. In the ninth their mouths
are filled with fire. In the tenth they
are licked by flames. In the eleventh
they are subjected 10 noisome smells
In the twelfth they are butted by oxen
and trampled on by horses. In the
thirteenth their hearts are scratched
In the fourteenth their heads are
rubbed till their skulls come off In
the fifteenth they are chopped in two

skin is taken off and rolled up into

THE WOUNDED DUELIST.
Tale OF DR.. Lorenz and n French Pa
ticnt on the Field of
Honor.

At the recent congress of physicians
in New orleans story about DR.. Lor-
enz went the rounds.
DR.. Lorenz, some years ago, was
summoned suddenly to the beside of
a Frenchman who had been wounded
in a duel.
Come Immediately ana bring
plenty of surgical appliances" said the
summoner, for you will find your pa
tient in serious situation"
Accordingly the physician and his as
sistant loaded into their carriage a
great quantity of bandages, and iodo-
form gauze and absorbent cotton, to-
gether with probes of every size and
shape, anaesthetics and splints. They
were equipped to dress the wounds of
a small army, and great, therefore,
was their disgust upon reaching the
Frenchman's house to find that moth
ing allied him but mere sword scratch
in the forearm.
DR.. Lorenz, with a smile, sent his as
sistant for some warm water, and
waited for its arrival to dress the tiny
wound. The Frenchman, groaning fear
fully, said to him:
'Is my arm hurt serious, sir?"
Very serious, indeed" replied the
physician. 'Im afraid, If my assist
ant doesn't hurry, it will heal Of itself
before he gets back"

TAN-TI, THE GREAT.
LittI- Dog OF Patrician Ancestry That
Was Brought TO This Country
from China.

"Yes, indeed, he belongs to the no.
bility and the gentry said Miss Helen
Jackson as she lool.ed admiringly at
the microscopic dog that was present.
ed to her by DR.. Decker during her re-
cent visit to California. This same
specimen of the pocket edition variety
of dog has excited the envy and ad-
miratlon of every one of Miss jack
sons friends who has beheld his royal
highness, reports the Denver Post.
Just note the naughty pose of his
aristocratic little black nose and the
majestic flourish of what promises in
time to be caudal appendage worth
mentioning" said she. He Is as much
impressed with his own Importance as
any viceroy with the peacock feathers
and yellow robe of the oriental king
dom, where long line of his an
cestors have lived for years and years. p"
His patrician blood is evinced by
numerous fine points and the black
ness of his satiny coat is accentuated
by the whiteness of his feet. At pres
ent he is barely visible to the naked
eye, but promises to be fully eight
inches long when he gets his growth.
He answers to the euphonious name
of Tamil, which name has probably
descended to him through long line
of royal dog ancestry. His mother,
trembling with fright, was found in
the emperor's palace during the siege
Of Peking, was rescued and brought to
California by American sailors. Pinky-
Panky-Poo was recently in Denver and
had a train of admirers. but the rule
of Tamil the Great begins at once
in Denver dogdom, and all aspirants
for high places must bow to his SUI
premacy

NO CAUSE FOR DISTURBANCE.
Whole Suits Were Lost Was
Nothing Strange.

A Chicago judge, who is a great
stickler for decorum in court, also
likes his little joke now and then. The
Washington Post says that on one oc-
casion there was considerable noise
in the court, and much moving about
on the part of the spectators.
His honor stopped the proceedings
and directed an officer to rap for or
der Still the disturbance went on, and
the judge finally singled out one man
as the cause of much of the disorder.
Eying him severely, he said:
This is a court, sir. You do not
seem to realize that it is place where
order must be maintained. The Off
Ger has repeatedly raped for order,
and you have paid no attention. have
a great mind to fine you for contempt
of court, for you are interfering with
the case under consideration"
The man, who was confused and
frightened, blurted out that lie had
lost his overcoat in the courtroom, and
was only trying to find it. The judges
face took on look of sternness and
amazement.
Lost your overcoat!" said he. "All
this fuss about the loss of an over
coat! Why, men come in here every
day and lose suits without making as
much fuss as you are making!"

REVIVAL OF THE DEAD.
to Bring Some Defunct Per-
sons Back to Life.

DR.. Robert G. Kemp, a physician of
repute, has lately brought before the
New York Academy of Science an ac-
count of some interesting experiments
which he has been conducting on lines
which were suggested some time ago
by DR.. Pruss. He asserts that he be-
lieves 1t possible, in many cases, to
bring back persons to life and to per-
manent recovery who are apparently
dead. His method, which he has al
ready successfully practiced on dogs,
is to make a small incision between
two of the ribs, and to thrust two
fingers into the wound until they touch
the heart That organ is then pressed
against the ribs, and it's natural motion
Is initiated by kind of massage. At
the same time a saline solution is in
fused into the patient, and respiration
Is induced by special form OF pump,
a tube from which is thrust into the
windpipe. Under this treatment dogs
which have been chloroformed to such
an extent that no pulsation Is per-
ceptible have been brought back to life
in II instances out of 23 1t is true
that when DR.. Kemp tried the same
procedure in the case of human be-
ing, about year ago, he failed to re-
suscitate the patient; but he believes,
with the added experience which he
has since had, that the method would
now prove successful in his hands.

KILLING ANTS WITH CANNON.
Fortresses of the Termites, or War;
rior Species, Assaulted with
Artillery.

Artillery charged with grapeshot has
been employed to destroy great for
tresses which the termites, or warrior
ants. have made in many tropical
countries, reports the New York Her
aid.
In South Africa the termites work
enormous havoc. They live in a re-
public of their own, and some of them
have wings. The workmen, the SOL
diers and the queens, however, have
none.
The workmen construct their build
ings, the soldiers defend the colony
and keep order and the females, or
queens, are cared for by all the others.
These become, in point of fact, mere
egg laying machines which have to
remain tied to one spot.
Their nesting homes are often 20
feet high and pyramidal in shape. Cat
tie climb upon them without crushing
them. A dozen men can find shelter
in some of their chambers and native
hunters often lie in wait inside them
when out after wild animals.
The ants construct galleries which
are as wide as the bore Of large
cannon and which run three or four
feet underground.
The nests are said to be 500 times
as high as the ants body, and it has
been estimated that If we built our
houses on the same scale they would
be four times as high as the pyramids
of Egypt.
