JAPANESE OFFICER.
In Scene of FrightfuI Carnage Elder
iy Soldier Thought Only Of Protect
ing His Young Master-i1is Own
Wound Unnoticed.

It was in the melee of blood and
sword that saw a sight that touched
me deeply. noticed two men in our
ranks; and later | found out that the
younger of these men came from a
well-to-do Samurai family; the older
man was also from the same place.
In fact, the father of the older man
had spent all his life in the service nt
the family from which the younger
man came. On this terrific day WHOM
they were within few meters of the
Russians. when they fought with
rocks, swords and anything they
could get hold of, | saw these men
cling to each other closely. AT the
height Of the bloody excitement the
older seemed to be mindful of the
younger always. At one time few
OF the Russians actually succeeded In
rushing upon a part of our line. One
of the Russians raised the butt of his
rifle, about to strike the younger OF
these two men Then | saw the old
er swing forward and literally hrrl
down the Russian with the bayonet
through his body A little later the
young man was ,hot in the leg and
fell. | saw the older man forget him
self completely, forsake his gun, kneel
down beside the young friend of his,
and not finding piece of cloth, he
tore the front of his shirt. He stuffed
a little piece of cloth into the bullet
hole in the leg Of his friend Then,
after a little while, because of the
fierceness of action about me, ! lost
sight of these men. When I came
upon them few minutes later they
were together. side by side. AS !
passed said to the older man, who
was nalf standing, always covering his
young master; Cant you manage to
carry yourself to the rear with your
friend-to the field hospital, or to
some shelter from behind the hill?"
"Oh. it is all right" he answered.
my young master is wounded a lit
tie, but he will recover in minute,
| think. Then we shall get at the
Russians again"
pointed to the ragged wound which
a Russian bullet had made upon his
own shoulder. "Oh. he said, that
is a scratch. Don't mind that"-A
Japanese Officer, in Leslie's Monthly
Magazine.

Ie was seated in his tent one morn
ing when a number of the followers Of
the sultan of Pantar came hurrying to
him, saying the sultan was dying Of
cholera. Aided by the slight knowl-
edge he then had of their language,
the surgeon diagnosed the case from
their reports as a well-nigh hopeless
one. Still, anxious to show the skill
and friendliness Of the American for
the Moro brother, he hastily made up
six powders, each containing one-sixth
Of grain of morphine and thirty
grains of bismuth. These he gave to
the emissarles. telling them to give
the sultan one of them in a glass of
boiled water every three hours and to
report to him next morning how the
patient was getting along
The next morning the surgeon was
more than surprised to see the sultan
himself walk into the tent. Wan and
weak as he was, he had come some
eight miles to thank the surgeon per-
sonally for having saved his life, and
had brought with him one of his sub
jects who spoke Spanish well enough
to serve as an interpreter.
1t was through the interpreter that
the surgeon learned how his direc-
tions had been followed First, they
had given the entire six powders to
the sultan at one dose-a full grain
of morphine and 1S0 grains of bis
muth-and then had poured a tum-
bier full of boiling water into him
every three hours afterward, scalding
his mouth and throat so that he could
scarcely speak.
But it cured him. and the surgeon
says the same treatment cured many

have died under lesser doses-B Brook

HIPPO GOT UNDER BOAT.

Mr.. Simpson, a visitor from Bir-

One morning Mr. and Miss Simpson,

FORTUNES IN PRECIOUS GEMS

Extrsvaeant Displays OF Jewels "Soe
by Women.
The desire for jewels and the eN'
travagantly splendid displays now
made by women who delight In sucn
manifestations of wealth, says the
London Mail, are two Of the man
exercises over women in this luNurl'
GUS age.
A million sovereigns sounds like an
incredibly huge sum Of money 10 SINK
in precious stones, but the gem cas-
kets Of some Of our great ladies' repre-
sent that value very closely, ana u Is
actually touched in few notable IN
stances.
Quite moderately wealthy young
married women do not consider thelr
catalogue of jewels complete without
two or three tiaras, string OF pearls
capable of being measured by the
yard. a stomacher brilliantly ablaze
with gems. dog collar and numer-
GUS necklets, rings of various colors
to match various gems, to say nothing
Of aigrettes of diamonds, bracelets
brooches and little ornaments by the
hundred.
One single necklet Of pearls-only
string that closely clasps the throat
has been known TO cost 100000; a
tiara swallows up any sum up 70
e25, 700, and even more when It con
tains practically priceless stones;
one brooch may easily represent G5VO'
while a stomacher can scarcely cost
less. Hence, to be bedizened in gems
that represent 100000 is not a dif-
ficult task for the woman who likes
a barbarc display and can afford to
indulge her whim.
The extravaganza this craving Tor
gems leads to is excused by some peo-
pie on the score that precious stones
are sound investment while me
dealers in imitation gems truthfully
aver that it fosters their trade.

AT AN ENGLISH CHRISTENING.
Elegance of BaptismaI Robes and For
maIity of the Occasion.


Much more in England is made OF
christening than here. Nowadays our
English cousins make a social func-
ton of what formerly was a purely
religious affair; and there is large
gathering at the church where the
ceremony is performed, and this is
followed by a reception at the home of
the childs parents. The number of
sponsors is no longer restricted to
two godfathers and one godmother, for
a boy, and two godmothers and one
godfather for a girl, but four and
even six sponsors appear. Queen
Alexandra is often godmother, and her
gift to her godchild is generally
pearl and diamond pendant Other
godmothers are giving valuable lace
or jewels, but sometimes give money
instead, the sum varying from $3.50
to $25,000 The nurse always recefv YES
from them note varying from So to
$780, or a bit of handsome jewelry
The reception following the cere-
mony is a white function, so far as
decorations and the gown of the
child's mother go. The baby itself is
always beautifully dressed in slip
of white satin or silk, over which is
drawn a robe of rich lace Bridal wells
are often draped over the slip instead
of regular robe. Lord and Lady
Castlereaghs children were christen-
ed in an Irish lace robe, the work of
the lacemakers on their Irish estate,

Claims Cure for Appendicitis.

DR.. Pond of Liverpool, England, ha.
advanced a new theory with deferenct
to the origin of appendicitis and othe'
disturbances of the digestive organs
He calls attention to the fact tina
such ailments can often be attributed
to antimonial poisoning, and tn,
source of the anthony taken up b.
man is said to be the rubber rings
which are frequently used to close al
sorts of bottles.
DR.. Pond has established the fact
that such rings consist of almost one
third their weight of anthony. The
anthony is not only dissolved by the
mineral waters containing alkalis and
organic acids, but these rubber rings
as daily observation shows, soon be
come brittle and some of the com
pound falls into the contents of the
vessels.
DR.. Pond claims to have found that
a frequently repeated introduction OF
anthony can become the source of 6
