DEAD ANIMALS REVIVED.
Experiments with Methods Winch Are to Be Employed on
 Human Beings.

Dr. Grille presented short paper on this subject, in which he gave 8 sum- mary of experimental data, says the New York Medical Journal. When asphyxia caused failure of the heart and respira- ton vigorous artificial respiration usu- ally restored their function when ad- ministered within few seconds. It was effective in an inverse ratio to the time that had elapsed; it was rarely effective after 40 seconds. By the addition of saline infusion larger proportion of animals could be resuscitated after the lapse of a little longer time. Rhyth- mic pressure upon the heart, either through the thorax by pressure upon the ribs over the heart or direct pressure within the thorax, was also an aid.
 The effect of the traumatism to the heart by the direct method partially counterbalanced the benefit from this measure. Nitroglycerin, alcohol and digitalis were useless; rapidly alternat- ing the posture, head up, then head down, was not effective. Suspending the anil nal head down and making Thy tn mical pressure upon the heart was an effective method. This method gave the brain the advantage of gravity; it provided a moderate artificial circulation as well as respiration. It could be promptly ap- plled. The addition of saline infusion increased the effectiveness of the method Animals apparently dead for periods of 15 minutes were resuscitated by the combined effect of artificial respiration, rhythmic pressure upon the heart and the infusion of adrenal!n. Adrenalin, when injected directly into the chamber or into the wall of the heart, caused fibrillar contractions, after which the heart could not be resusciated. Aft CT final cessation of the heart, by em- ploying manual compression of the heart and infusing adrenalin, the blood pres- sures could be raised even higher than the normal Respiration in some in- stances was partially restored.
 Experiments in which saline infusion was substituted for adrenalin, and which were unsuccessful, were promptly suc- cessful on adding adrenalin. In a pa- tient with crushed skull whose heart had ceased beating for nine minutes, re- suscitation of the heart for 31 minutes by the method was made. During the operation for the elevation of the de- pressed bone the patient moved his head.
 Another patient, apparently dead from a severe crushing of the base of the skull, was partially resuscitated 24 minutes after the apparent death. The proofs of the apparent death were ab- sence of respiration, absence of heart sound on stethoscopic auscultation, and as final proof, on opening the jugular vein there was absolutely no circulation. In this case the blood pressure rose to 80 nm. at one time; voluntary respira- ton appeared These evidences of vital action continued for 34 minutes.

TALE OF SAVAGE WARFARE.
Atrocities Committed by Indians in a Battle at Fort Phil
 Kearney.

In Dr. Cyrus Townsend Brady's Indi- an Fights and Fighters, in Pearson's, he gives the following narrowing picture of the fate of Capt. Fetterman:
 "In the afternoon, with a heavily armed force of 80 men Darlington went in person to the scene of the battle. The following order was left with the officer of the day: Fire the usual sun set gun, running white lamp to mast head If the Indians appear fire three guns from the 12-pounder at minute in- tervals, and late substitute red lan- tern for the white.' Tickets were left on two commanding ridges as signal ob- servers, as the command moved for ward. The women and children were placed in the magazine, building well adapted for defense, which had been stocked with water, crackers and va rious supplies for an emergency, with an officer pledged not to allow the women to be taken alive, if the general did not re- turn, and the Indians should overcome the stockade. @a -.,.~
 Passing the place where the greatest slaughter had occurred, the men marched cautiously along the trail. Bodies were strung along the road all the way to the western end, farthest from the fort. Here they found Lieut.. Grum- mond There were evidences of des- perate struggle about his body. Behind a little pile of rock, making a natural fortification, were the two civilians who had been armed with the modern Henry rife. By the side of one 50 empty shells were counted, and nearly as many by the ] side of the other brave frontiersman. Behind such cover as they could obtain near by lay the bodies of the oldest and most experienced soldiers in Fetter- mans command.
 "In front of them they found no fewer then 60 great gouts of blood on the ground and grass, and a number of dead ponies, showing where the bullets of the defenders had reached their marks, and in every direction were signs of the ! fiercest kind of hand-to-hand fighting
 Ghastly and mutilated remains, stripped naked, shot full of arrows-Wheatley with no less than 105 in him-scalped, lay before them"

Singular Case of Willmakine.

Recently very singular case of will making came to light in an English court. A lady, possessed of considerable property, was paralyzed, so she sent for her solicitor to dispose of her estate. Bereft of speech, she was unable to give directions. The solicitor wrote down the various items on so many cards; then on other cards he wrote the names of the 1ady's family. That done, he dealt" the cards. As he did so his client coupled property with names, and he was able to draw up the will. It was declared good hY the court

Bulldog Scared Away Guests.

A writer tells how bulldog scared away the guests bidden to lady's recep- tion. The hostess was waiting in her parlor. She heard carriages arrive, heard the front gate open, but no guests appeared. "The situation became puz- Zling. At last the lady of the house went put to see if perchance the paving and the steps had suddenly crumbled away and left an aching void. Not at all. On opening the front door she found herself confronted with the cause of the phan- tom visitors-Rex in his most amiable and complacent mood, sitting, peaceful and majestic, on the top step, whither he had dragged his kennel, a feather weight to so powerful creature, after him. No pedestrian visitor, no card laden delegate of carriage folk,' had ventured to affront that lordly pres ance"

A Midget Pony.

The marquis of Currano-not to be confused with the marquis of Carrabasin, Fuss in Boots-who has great local reputation as a horse fancier in Lom- bardy, owns Shetland pony which is only two feet high. As the smallest of the Shetlands is rarely less than two feet eight inches in height, this little fel- low always attracts much attention. The marquis believes in little horses, for he argues that they do more work in proportion to their size and cost con- siderably less to keep. He owns four ponies, which he drives four-in-hand in Milan, and never fails to create great sensation with his novel turnout. Their food costs him only 12 cents per day Who could not afford to keep this kind of horsefesh, which is almost cheaper than bicycle?

SAUERKRAUT EXPERIENCE
Some Difficulties Encountered by Men Who Stored or Sold It in Large
 Quantities.

A farmer who raises cabbage and manufactures sauerkraut on a large scale was trying to sell 50 barrels of that delicacy to a Front street dealer. The dealer, says the Portland Oregonian, did not appear eager to buy.
 He said he could hardly get rid of so much sauerkraut before summer, and it was dangerous stuff to have around in hot weather, for it was likely to ferment in the barrels. He said his partner and another dealer on the street had deal in kraut some years ago which was not profitable They both had big lot of the stuff. about 80 barrels in all, on a lower wharf on the city front and did not know what to do with it, as the weather was becoming warm. Finally they agreed to play cards to see who should have the whole, and his partner, who was crackerjack at cribbage, won. They decided to ship tito San Francisco. but the next day one of the barrels ex- ploded, threw down part of the ware house and plastered everything within gunshot with the seething, fermenting, nasty-smelling stuff
 After cleaning up, the remaining bar rels were placed on steamer and sent to San Francisco. The night after they were landed the warehouse in which they were placed was burned, and they lost the whole lot and narrowly escaped Dig damage suit, as it was charged that the fire was caused by the spontaneous combustion of the kraut. Since that time he takes his allowance of cabbage after being cooked with corned beef and well saturated with vinegar.

DRUG HABIT is SPREADING.
Movement In New York to Prohibit
Sale OF Cocaine.

A movement has been inaugurated
in New York to prohibit the sale Of
cocaine except under authority of a
doctors prescription. The cocaine
habit" increases at an alarming rate,
the drug having tremendous sale in
the city. The openness with which
aristocratic dope fiends" practice
their pet vice is something astonlsh-
ing. The wise slave of morphine,
opium or cocaine has discovered that
the surest way to conceal the vice is
to practice 1t in full view of the audi
ence. Thus, man or woman will
come into the drug shop when It is
crowded and say something to the
clerk in charge. The clerk digs up a
black bottle, mixes 1t with something
from the soda fountain and the fend
deliberately takes 1t while the crowd
looks on. Not once In a thousand
times does any one suspect that the
cool person with the dark mixture is a
victim Of drugs.

CHAPTER XIV.
The New CIlent.


Mr.. John Sharps offices were stu
ated off the Strand. And at IL o'clock
one morning Mr.. John Sharp was
seated in his private room, expecting
a visitor, or, as Mr.. Sharp would have
expressed it himself. client. While
waiting for the latter to put in an
appearance, he whiled away the time
with the morning paper.
At the particular moment to which
we refer, his attention was engaged
by something in the top right hand
corner of the outside sheet, which
seemed to afford him considerable
amount of satisfaction.
1T certainly does read well" he re-
marked to himself complacently. Il
can't deny that, though l did draw 1t
up myself II WONDER" he continued,
rasping his chin with his forefnger,
whether the gent who's made the
appointment for II o'clock came from
the advertisement. or whether he was
recommended"
The advertisement referred to was
as follows:

Quoted with the greatest skill and dis
erection. Evidence obtained on any
subject. All communications regard
ed as strictly private and confidential.
Mr. John Sharp promises to all those
who honor him by seeking his aid the
experience Of twenty years and the
secrecy of the confessional"
Mr.. John Sharp, as regarded his
outward appearance, was somewhat
of the weasel order. AS he himself
often said, SHARP was his name and
sharp was his nature"
my new clients late" he con-
tinued, looking at his watch. He
opened a door of communication and
put his head through.
"Jennings!"
"Yessir."
when the gentleman comes, don't
forget to tell him that I'm engaged
for the moment, but shall be at lib
erty shortly; and mind you come in
when you hear me bang the door, and
ask If | am dlsengeged and can see
the gentleman now"
The faithful Jennings performed
his duty to the letter. 81 think" said
Mr.. Sharp, rising and referring to a
memorandum, as the gentleman was
ushered in, that | have the pleasure
of addressing Mr.. Burrltt? Will you
be good enough to be seated"
The visitor admitted that was his
name, and took the seat indicated.

quired Mr.. Sharp. placing the tips OF
his fingers together interrogatively.
The new client, who had with him
a small leather bag, opened 1t, and
produced three articles. which he
placed upon the table before him.
They consisted Of a square, fat pack
age, a photograph and a ball from a
revolver.
Suppose you begin from the begin
ming and tell me all about 1t. / shall
not interrupt you" said Mr.. Sharp,
as he opened the notebook and mois-
tened a stump Of lead pencil with his
tongue.
He kept his word, though he made
copious notes, and for some moments
there was only the monotonous sound
of the one voice, as the new client re-
capitulated all the circumstances
which had led to his seeking Mr..
Sharp's assistance, and which have
already been fully gone into.
When he had finished, Il thought

the other. ITO be sure, | remember

ALI, though still legible, were more
or less injured by the fiery ordeal to
which they had been in some degree
subjected. The fire, which had stopped
before reaching the upper part OF the
body, had been sufficient for this.
He ran his eye over them again.
What was that? Something which
cracked as he laid his hand upon one
OF the papers nearest to him. 1t was
a sheet Of foreign note paper, much
singed. and written only upon one
side.
He pushed all the other papers to-
gether in a heap Then, with the
burnt letter before him, with an elbow
planted on each side, and his head
supported between his hands, he bent
himself to the task of deciphering
what still remained.
At last. after at least an hour spent
in this way, he made gesture Of
despair.
81 suppose I must give it up. The
task is beyond meat least, this por-
ton of it."
He cast his eye again over the
words.
"They tell me nothing as they are.
They even serve to cast some implica-
ton uDon my fathers honor, and"
He broke of abruptly, and the color
forsook his face. What was it the
doctor had limited at? Something dis
creditable In the past?
He glanced at the paper again.
'But this speaks Of something
worse"
He gave hasty look round, as
though he half-feared the possibility
of the presence Of listener, as he
whispered the Something
criminal"
He took up his pen again, and once
more concentrated his whole attention
upon the burnt letter.
The paper before him contained q
number of broken phrases-the be-
ginnings and fragments Of sentences.
The upper part of the letter had been
