Hsarl wounds Nol Nsess.arI!r llortaI.

4 4 b
In wounds of the heart itself the
escape of blood is never in large guam
tity, and the lethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape of
blood from within its cavity Tor
cavities) into the surrounding sac of
the pericardium mechanically inter
rupts the alternate contraction and
expansion by which its pumping
action is maintained. Accordingly,
the results of wound of the heart are
usually Identical with those of gradual
suffooation. This fact was strik-
ingly demonstrated in, the case of the
Empress of Austria, and the diabolic
skill aud precision with which the
wound was inflicted in her case,
offer diagrammatic illustration of a
necessarily fatal wound of the heart.
The instrument used was too large
to form mere "needle puncture," !"
it was inflicted too high in the chest
to be "non-penetrating," for it was
aimed with truly fiendish ingenuity at
the position of one of the thin walls
of the four cavities of the heart, and
the directness of the penetration,
combined with the thinness of the wall
of the cavity, rendered it physically
impossible that the wound could be
"valvular." The Israelite warrior of
old smote the enemy-when possible
-"beneath the fifth rib" because the
impulse of the heart is felt there.
But he probably did not know that it
is in that precise position that a
wound of the heart is least neces-
sarily fatal. The italian assassin of
recent date displays incomparably
greater skill and knowledge. The
science of the present day also pro-
vides that the historic account of the
death of Admiral Villeneuve is open
to sceptical doubt. And the recent
cases of suture of the heart give
illustration that modern surgical
skill may attempt, and with success,
the seemingly impossible.-American
Medicine.

The Boil WeevII Is Coming this Way.

The Mexican cotton boil weevil has
crossed tho Mississippi river and has
made its appearance in the cotton being
grown at the United States Experiment
Station at New Orleans. 1t is not known
how the insects got into the cotton
plants at the station. 1t is not believed
the insects reached the station by natu-
raj spread, as heretofore they have not
travelled faster than at the rate of about
seventy-five miles in one season, and the
nearest weevils heretofore reported have
been at much greater distance from
New Orleans. 1t is believed they were
introduced in some accidental way.

The proposed issue of 5000, 900 of road
bonds in Mecklenburg county, N. c.,
was defeated last Tuesday by the stay-at-
home vote. The law requires the casting
of majority of the vote of the county
to make bond issue legal. While ma
jority of the votes cast was for the ISSUE
and while the country vote was almost
solidly in the affirmative, the issue was
defeated because the returns did not
show that majority of the vote of the
county ahd been cast.

His Parting Testimony.

Much has been said, and is still
being said, about Pope Leo's last
hours and his last prayer. Person
ally we are ready to indorse much
that has been said. We have no
wish to detract from his praise. He
was the superior of most of his
predecessors in Office, both in ability
and character.
But his last days and his last
prayer are worthy of notice as his
testimony to the faith of his church.
The charge has often been made,
and often denied, that the church of
Rome doesn't regard Jesus as the
only Saviour of sinners-that this
office has been assigned to the
mother of Jesus. Is that the doc
trine and faith of the church? The
last prayer of Pope-an infallible
Pope-ought to be accepted as au-
thority, and in that prayer we find
no mention of Jesus. There is a
longing "that l may see thy face,
heavens queen, whose mother love
has brought me home above" but no
reference to Him who said "I will
come again and receive you unto
Myself"
With those who praise the poetic
beauty and pious spirit of the prayer
we take no issue. We simply call
attention to the fact that if it is to
be taken as expressing the faith of
the church of which he was the
supreme head, the name of Jesus is
not to that church "the name that is
above every name" Another who
says that he had searched for it as
for hidden treasure declares that
he has not see single reference to
Jesus from Pope Leo's lips.-A. Il.

The Attorney General has rendered an
opinion to the effect that baby carriages
must be carried by passenger trains as
baggage when it is for the comfort and
convenince of the passengers, or in other
words when the babies are along. Com
plant was made by citizens to the Rail
road Commission recently that the rail
roads refused to check baby carriages as
baggage and charged regular rate when
they were put on passenger trains. The
Commission reported the matter to the
Attorney General for legal opinion and
the decision is that baby carriages are
necessary sometimes, especially when
the babies are along, but that the rail-
roads should not be imposed upon when
the babies are not along, and regular
rates should be charged. The Commits
sion will instruct the railroads in ac-
cordance with the ruling.

The Problem of the Races.

Unique among all summer gather
ings is the "mob conference" now in
progress at Chautaubua, N. Y. The
increase of the mob spirit so notice
able throughout the country, gives
great Importance to this conference.
The leading speech of last Tuesday
was made by John Temple Graves, of
Atlanta, Ga.
Mr.. Graves spoke on "The Mob
Spirit of the South" He defended
lynch law as a remedy for the crime
Of rape, holding that though lynching
is crime, it is justified by the crime
which provokes it and will never be
discontinued until that crime is
eliminated. The remedy for lynch
ing must be the elimination of the
crime of rape, and this, he maintains,
could be done only by the separation
of the two races in the United
States.
"The problem of the hour is not
how to prevent lynching in the South,
but the larger question 'How shall
we destroy the crime which always
has and always will provoke lynch
ing" The answer which the mob re-
turns to this vital question is already
known. The mob answers it with
the rope, the bullet, and sometimes,
God save us, with the torch. And
the mob is practical its theory is
effective to large degree the mob
Is to-day the sternest, the strongest
and the most effective restraint that
the age holds for the control of
rape"
"The lyncher does not extermimate
the rapist,". Mr.. Graves contended,
"but he holds him nightly in check"
AS sheer, cold, patent fact, he said,
the mob stands to day as the most
potential bulwark between the
women of the South and such
carnival of crime as would infuriate
the world and precipitate the annihi-
lation of the negro race. The
masses of the negro, he held, are not
afraid of death coming in a regular
way. They love display and the
spectacular element of trial and
execution appeals to their magma
tiCns.
Expediting processes of the law
would not be adequate to eliminate
lyncbing. The repeal of the amend
ments and the establishment of the
negro's inferiority in law and
society, said Mr.. Graves, though
desirable, are not sufficient, for 'the
negro" he added, els thing of the
senses and with this race and with all
similar races the desire of the senses
must be restrained by the terror of
the senses, if possible, under the law"
No influence of suppression so mighty
and effective could be brought to bear
as law making amputation the pen
atty for the crime of rape. But this,
like curfew edicts, separate laws for
white and black or the treatment of
the crime of rape as separate and out
side of all other codes, are but expe-
dients, he maintained; there is no
real remedy but one. No statute
will permanently solve this problem.
Religion does not solve it. Educa-
tion complicates it. Politics compli-
Gates it. "The truth which lies beyond |
above all those temporizing expe-
dients," he concluded, els that sep
aparation is the logical, the newt
able, the only solution of this great
problem of the races"

money, and one said: There is

knew nothing about my grandfather's

was the new cow for him. And those
gentlemen in London were not aware
of the Importance of the service
which they had rendered" Selected.
