What a knock-out Blow Does

iN 0tS" OOCSs
Medical News: Inasmuch as all boxing
a rule, ended by this character of coup
de grace, the physiology of it is of great
interest. A man struck with any degree
of force upon the mental area of the Jaw,
although he may be in perfect physical
condition., instantly collapses and falls to
the ground. The attitude assumed in re-
covery, which may be instantaneous or
DELAYED some minutes, is most character
istic. He squirms about, raises his head
and rolls his eyes In an attempt to To-
cate himself. He tries to get on his side
and elbow. He endeavors to rise upon
his hands and knees. If he regains his
feet he %staggers like a drunken man, and
should be proceed to reopen hostilit.es he
is usually promptly put OUT by his ad-
versary. The blow is practically never
fatal, the hearts action is never unduly
accelerated. the pulse and respiration are
normal; the pupils are normal; there is no
headache, no sweats no cold extremities.
no pallor-none of the ordinary signs of
shock or concussion. James g.. Duncan
son British Medical Journal, April a..
1909 believes the condition to be due en-
tirely to q shaking up of the endolymph
in the semicircular canals. When the
blow is administered there is a violent
oyer-twisting of the head, which is held
in its ante-posterior position by muscles
which, compared with those inflicting the
blow are small and puny. The result ia
that the head flies around with a Jerk
and the fluid in the canals is subjected to
a greater disturbance han by any other
trauma. There is little reason to doubt
that his is the interesting pathology OF
the well-known but little understood coun
de grace.

Biloxi vas probably at that moment in

just possible, too, hat the Spaniards
had not yet been informed of the war,
and nothing had been so far done by
them.
Cruising by Pensacola harbor, just
outside h Isle de Santa Rosa, a pine
grown stretch OF narrow sand which
for twenty-five leagues protects that
coast, Levasseur called me to him.
DO you know, my lad, What vessels
those are at anchor in the harbor?"
Two of them l recognized as I would

six gunboats. Levasseur put the Sea-
new boldly about n entered the har-
Dor. He signaled the Frenchmen. low
cred a boat, and sent his lieutenant
aboard the flagship with credentials
and a letter signifying his READINGS. TO
engage in any enterprise.
From Admiral Championship, in
command of the squadron, he learned
that Bienville and Serigny, combined
with the Choctaws, had invested PEN
Sacola by land, and on the morrow a
simultaneous attack by land and sea
would be made. The Spanish forces
consisted of four ships, six gunboats,
a strong fort on Santa Rosa Island,
and the works at Pensacola, the
strength of who's garrison was un-
known.
That night on board the Seamew was
spent in busy preparation and rest. l

ness with ropes and spars forbade 1T.
I sat modify upon a gun at the port,
and fixing my yes on shore yalnly en-
deavorcd to make out what the French
and Choctaws We're doing there. To
the left were the meager camp fires of
the Indians; further up the hills a
more generous blazing line marked the
French position.
Gradually a low wavering sound
separated itself from the other noises
of the night, coming faint but clear
upon h light land breeze, the first
uuivering notes of a Choctaw war
chant. How familiar it was. Was I
mistaken? L listened more intently.
No. 1t was in cry truth the voice of
Tuskahoma, my pic friend on many
marches.
1 cared nothing for the Seamew or
her crew, and determined to seek my
old friends to tightout the day with
them.
What little thought I gave it justi-
fed the deed. My position as an officer
of the king would palliate DESERVING the
ship which had brought me over.

Having a Picnic.

There is something particularly ems
joyable about going to a picnic. The
very word Picnic brings pleasant an-
ticipations Of a good time. The idea
of going out to the woods and fields or
down by some brook or lake, with
luncheon to be served on the grass and
under the trees, has a peculiar fascina-
ton. The fresh air and exercise con-
tribute to give a hearty appetite to all
and everything ut luncheon seems far
better than the finest course dinner
that u French chef ever served.
Wooden dishes supplant Dresden
china, and paper boxes silver trays,
when the good things to eat" are
spread upon the ground.
Pic-Nics are complete without
the sandwiches, sweet white bread
with a generous layer of meat be-
tween. Libby's canned meats are ideal
for pic-nics and outings. The cans are
SO easily opened and the contents so
fresh and palatable that no picnic is q
success without Libby's Natural
Flavor Food Products.

Good Taste in Wall Papers.

Harper's Bazaar: The rules of good
taste never change. though they some
times seem to do SO. The wall should
be treated from the Dashboard up. If
there is a dado. 1t should represent
darkest Of all those employed for the
wall; the division above it should be
several shades lighter. the border, IL
any, still lighter, N the ceiling light
est of all, and for his reason, which
always exists. the ceiling receives less
light than any other portion of the
room, and the border less than the wall
below it. The effort. therefore. must
be to counterfeit the darkness above
by supply the missing light. a darkly
papered ceiling SHOULD always be avoid
ed In any but a Turkish or Indian room.
Cool yellows. deep creams, golden tans
are the best ceiling tones. as a rule,
though there are occasions where q soft
blue or a rose-tlushed ceiling is to be
advised.

LARGEST Bank In tho World.

The new combined London bank will
be tho largest banking institution in the
