HAD A SINGULAR STOMACH.
Queer Collection Of Junk Found in a
Young Mans Digestive Organ.

rOunS mdnS digestive organ.
Nature.-The organs of man are ex
tremely sensitive and the smallest
foreign body is often capable of
seriously disturbing their functions.
At the same time we have cases In
which a remarkable tolerance is
shown by the stomach, such. for in
stance, as the child years of age who
vas presented to the Academic de
Medicine in 1897, after having had a
piece of money removed from the
esophagus. This example of tolerance
is, however, considerably exceeded by
| the following case, which we pre-
sented to the academic at a recent
meeting:
The patient was young man %
years of age, pale, of slight intel.
ligence, and epileptic, who had been
under the care of DIR. Leroux of the
] st. Joseph hospital for nervous and
intestinal trouble. At the end of
several days several foreign bodies
were observed in the left hypochon-
drum and the patient was sent to our
surgical ward where the operation or
opening the stomach was performed.
What was our surprise when We felt
with the finger through the incision
great number of metallic substances.
With the aid of long pinchers we drew
forth the foreign bodies. First we
obtained two coffee spoons, varying
from five to five and one-half inches
In length. The last spoons taken out
were the smallest and were extensive,
ly corroded by the acids of the
stomach. This, however, was not the
end, for taking long pincher-the
stomach being very large-we found
the back of an ordinary fork with
three prongs, the handle of the same
fork broken, another fork handle, the
fourth prong of the fork above
mentioned, pin six inches long, a
piece of metal seven inches long with
pointed end, two nails, one needle,
one knife handle and two knife blades,
third fork handle one key and some
small particles of oxidized metal: in
all twenty-five pieces, with a weight
' of $50 grams.

FACTOR THAT WILL HELP WIN
FIGHT.
DECLARES RECENT VISITOR
Tells What He Saw in the Island EN-
pire, and Gives the Grounds for
Hope That the Mikado May Sue
coed in the War With Russia-M-
kado's Power Unlimited.

A citizen who was in Japan some
years ago makes the assertion that il
hope constituted opinion, his belief
would be that Japan would prove the
winner.
The Japanese were thoroughly
awake to the fact that Russia had dip
lomatic designs in the east when | was
In the east" said he. 1T was notice
able that in almost every Japanese
harbor two or three Russian men-ot,
war were at anchor. OF course they
had right to be there. as the powers
were on friendly terms automatically
but there was a deep-seated distrust
OF Russia The presence of Russian
war vessels in japanese ports may
have been due to the lack of good har.
bors, but they may also have been
there with the idea of impressing the
Japs that Russia had gunboats in
plenty.
The Japanese are intensely loyal to
their nation and to the mikado. While
the mikado is regarded as almost a
deity. the people are strongly republi-

ly with the trials and victories of the
early heroes. | was much impressed
with this manifest loyalty in a country
where the ruler is theoretically as auto.
cratic as the car. In fact, the mikado
has almost unlimited power, but in his
wisdom does not exert such power
arbitrarily. In Japan there is the
greatest freedom for the individual and
there is no restriction of individual
rights and privileges. The traveller
finds none of the restrictions such as
are imposed even in France. This &C.
counts, believe. for the Jap's loyalty
and his willingness to fight for his
country and the mikado.

but even then the navy was developing
at wonderful rate. They are a mar

bellicose aggressiveness toward for
eigners found in lands where civiliza-
ton has been established for much
greater periods.

and found all to be intensely patriotic
This quality is, think. lacking in Rus
STA, and to my mind will have a per-
ceptible effect on the outcome of the
war. Japan is beautiful country to
travel through. and my best wishes are
with the soldiers of the mikado"

army to be sent to the isthmus. The
officers and men still have hopes.
One gun is apportioned among four
mules-wheels and axles, trail, gun
barrel, and, last, cradle, or chambore,
to take up the conclusion caused in
firing. The bore is IS millimeters, or
2.95 inches. Stocky mules and long
men are required, for parts weighing
$50 pounds each are to be lifted to the
backs of the animals. The mules do
not kick, or there would be high
death rate in the command, as the
men necessarily take many chances
with agile hind hoofs. The first train
ing of the green mule is to make it as
gentle as house dog. and there is
bareback riding for weeks before a

Half an hour elapsed and the door
opened again, and Miss Mazurka
heard an old mans voice, cracked and
shrill, greeting Mordaunt Royce.
With flush of excitement and
curiosity Miss Mazurka drew her chair
nearer to the hole she had made in the
flooring by the cupboard and strained
her ears. though she had no occasion
to do so, for every word reached her
as plainly as if she had been in the
room below
Lock the door," said Royce, and
old Craddock, with a grin, turned the
key.

manded Royce.
Because it wasn't safe for you to

man. People are getting curious.

RACE WAR IN THE HERksHIREs.

The little town of Sheffield, in the
Berkshire hills of Massachusetts,, is
the seat of race difficulty which must
attract wide attention by reason of its
location. The town has about two
thousand whites and three hundred
blacks. The negroes live in back
road section. facetiously called New
Guinea" and have been sending their
children to the town school Recently,
however, the school committee and the
superintendent opened new school
for the convenience of the people of
the back-road district, they said
, which school was about as far away
=, in one direction from the district as
the town school was in the other. A
negro teacher was installed. A few
white children live in that neighbor-
hood and were directed to go to the
new school.
The parents of the white children re-
fused to send them to a negro teacher,
and at length she was discharged.
Meanwhile the negroes would not send
, their children to the new school, but
one day started them to the old
, school, The towns truant officer
elected them, but when he went away
they returned with their mammies
Bedlam and chalk-throwing ensued all
day. The next day they were elected
again, and the war went on. AS there
is compulsory school attendance law
in Massachusetts, three of the negro
parents were arrested. Their defence
was that they were sending their chill
dren to the nearest and best school.
Meantime for lack Of pupils the new
school was closed. The case of the
! men arrested went to the district court
and the judge decided against the ne
groes, sustaining the right of the
school committee to send the children
of the district where it pleased The
night after this decision was known
the New Guinea school was burned.

Why He Could Not Keep His EN-,
Htf ployes.

He adopted slave-driving methods.
He took no interest in their welfare.
He was arbitrary, captious, and un
just.
He always appealed to the worst in
them instead of the best.
He considered that their entire
salaries were in their envelopes.
His policy was to get the most
work out of them for the least
wages.
He regarded them merely as a part
of the machinery of his business.
He resented the idea that his en-
ployes should share in his prosperity.
He used them as safety valves to-
vent the spleen of his drastic moods.
He Inundated his employees by re.
buking them in the presence of others.
He never trusted them, but always
held suspicious thoughts toward
them.
He killed their enthusiasm by
finding fault and never praising or ap-
precfating them.
He tried to make them feel that
neither he nor his business owed
anything to them.
He stifled ambition by treating the
careless and the shifty alike.
He never asked himself, what is
the matter with me? but 8"What is
the matter with my help?"
He constantly made them work
overtime without remuneration, but
If they were a minute late they were
fned.-Success.

glittering eyes.
And it was certainly singular fact
that the face was remarkably like that
of Miss Mazurka, late of the Royal

THE sH.MosE JxPLos1vE.

Professor Shimose, the inventor of the explosive which the Japanese have been using so efficiently, has been talking about it. He declined to explain any of the details of manufacture, but as- serted that with regard to explosive force the compound stands next to blasting gelatine, and on a much higher level than gun-cotton or dynamite Thus handful exploded on an iron plate one and half inches thick, he said, forces a hole through the plate; and whereas a shell with a bursting charge of the compounds ordinarily used in Europe is broken into com. paratively small number of fragments, the majority of which are scattered through very limited arc, the Shimose explosive shatters the projectile into from two thousand to three thousand pieces, which are driven in every diree- tion with equal force, so that nothing could live in the proximity. About two years ago special trial of this compo- sition was made in the presence of sev- eral members of both houses of the Japanese Diet. One of the experiments showed that, whereas a six-inch shell loaded with gun-cotton made hole little larger than it's own diameter in the target and burst with trifiing effect in a backing of coal, a shell containing the Shimose explosive tore an aperture three feet in diameter.
