STRANGE ACCIDENTS.


Turn OF n Foot.
s"The man who fell out Of bed and
broke his neck will scarcely attract
more than passing notice." said a
thoughtful man, ''for there have been
many cases equally remarkable. l re-
call one case where a mans neck was
broken by a very slight turn of his
foot. He attempted to catch himself
that is, to preserve his balance-and
the effort was of such violence that he
broke his neck. Many men have bro
ken their necks by sudden stumble
and a fall on the sidewalk or by being
knocked down by some hurrying pedes-
trian, or by a street car or vehicle of
some sort.
cit is not at all uncommon for a po-
Iiceman, with no intention of doing
more than subdue an unruIy member,
to break an offenders neck by rapping
him over the head with his club. Some
times the fall which follows and some
times the blow breaks the neck of the
offender. Sometimes sudden, violent
motion of the head, a quick jerking
motion, the kind we make when dodg-
ing, will break the neck.
II recall case where a man threw
his neck out of joint without breaking
it by throwing his head to one side in
an effort to dodge a bullet fired at
him at short range. The bullet passed
through the rim of his hat. Even after
that he carried his head tilted over the
right shoulder and was never able to
straighten it." = New Orleans Times
Democrat.

DUST OF THE DESERT.

1t Is an Affection, but 1t Is Not I'm
pure, Like City Dust.
A traveller in Egypt writes: with all
its heat and dust the desert has its
charms. True, the desert dust is an
aff1iction, for when certain evil winds
blow the desert is shrouded in dust
vast swirling clouds through which no
eye can see. But when the dust storms
have blown over and the desert is
calm again you forget the dust, for
the desert dust is dusty dust, but not
dirty dust Compared with the aw-
full organic dust of New York, Lon
don or Paris it is Inorganic and pure.
con those strips Of the Iibyan and
Arabian deserts which lie along the
Nile the desert dust is largely made
up of shredded royalty, of withered
Ptolemies, of faded Pharaohs, for the
tombs of queens and kings are count
ed here by the hundreds and of their
royal progeny and their royal retain-
ers by the thousands. These desiccat-
ed dynasties have been drying SO long
that they are now quite antiseptic.
'Dust of these dead and gone kings
makes extraordinarily fertile soil for
vegetable gardens when irrigated with
the rich waters of the Nile. Their
mummies are also said to make excel
| lent pigments for the brush Rameses
| and Setos, Cleopatra and Hatasu-all
| these great ones dead and turned to

The Stuart Kings.

The family name Of the Stuarts was
originally, as Mr.. Bayley observes,
Fitzalan The original Walter Fitz-
alan, brother of the ancestor of the
dukes of Norfolk, was lord high stew
ard of Scotland, and from this cir
cumstance his branch Of the family
appears to have adopted the name OF
Stewart When the change began is
not certain, but it was probably not
later than the time Of Alexander, the
great-grandson of Walter Fitzalan, for
both his sons-James, the grandfather
of Robert II. and all the Scottish Stew
art kings, and John, the ancestor of
Lord Darnley appear to have borne
the name of Stewart. = Notes and

A DESIGNING Doctor.

The Sydney Bulletin tells of a mo-
toring doctor who ran into and cap
sized a pedestrian He looked behind
him and, seeing the man still prone,
made a circuit and ran back, intending
to stop beside and help him. But the
motor shot a yard or two beyond the
mark and hit the man again just as he
was getting up. The doctor turned his
car once more and was cautiously
stealing near to the PROSTATE sufferer
when an excited spectator rushed from
the sidewalk and, shaking the victim,
exclaimed: "Look out! He's coming
at you again" Whereupon the man
scrambled up and started to run.

Anew Facts About the Flag.

The red in our flag stands for valor,
the white for purity, the blue for justice.
Our first Revolutionary flag generally
used was called the Grand Union flag.
In this the colonsts, who, we must re-
member, were still Englishmen, kept the
red ground of the old English flag, but
striped it with white bars, so that there
should be thirteen lists, or stripes, as an
emblem of the thirteen colonies. Also,
they kept the blue field of the English
Union Jack, but took out the crosses OF
ST. George and st. Andrew and put in
stead thirteen stars in circle. This flag
was inaugurated by Washington at his
camp in Cambridge, Massachusetts,, in
January, 1776 though it was not adopted
by Congress until the fourteenth of
June, 1777.
Some of our flags of about this time
show the stars arranged in the blue in
the shape of one big star, and some show
them arranged in a circle. The perma-
nent present fashion was adopted after
1918, when Congress passed a resolution
that new star should be added to the
blue field for every new state admitted
to the Union.-Woman's Home Com
panion for July.

Facts About the Epworth League.

The first general convention of the
Epworth League was held in Cleveland
in 1898. There was an attendance of
about five thousand, and the address of
welcome was delivered by the Honorable
William Mckinley, then Governor of
Ohio. Two years later the convention
was held at Chattanooga. with an at
tendance of twelve thousand. One of
the CONSPICUOUS features of the conven-
ton was the sunrise prayer-meetings held
on Lookout Mountain They were at
tended by large numbers of the delegates,
and made a profound impression upon
the young people. At this convention
there was an unusually large attendance
of young people from the Methodist
Episcopal church, South. The first con-
vention of the Epworth League under
the British flag was held at Toronto in
1897. There was patriotic demonstra-
ton at the exposition grounds, attended
by over fifteen thousand persons. The
attendance at the convention was over
twenty thousand. At this meeting special
emphasis was placed on Sabbath obser-
vance. The convention of 1899 met in
Indianapolis. Again the attendance
reached the twenty-thousand mark. The
chief themes were Christian Citizen
ship" Temperance" and Christian
Stewardship" Two years later the in
ternational meeting was held in San
Francisco. At this convention an intel
ligent and personal interest in missions
on the part of the young people was
urged, both as a means of spiritual
growth and as the definite acceptance of
an imperative duty. The attendance was
over seventeen thousand. The conven-
ton of 1908 met in Detroit. All records
for attendance were surpassed the Off
cial report showing that twenty-nine
thousand people had come to Detroit for
the convention. Here, as at Chatta-
nooga and indianapolis, huge tent was
one of the meeting-places. A conspicu-
GUS feature was the exhibit of missionary
and other work done by the Epworth
League. This exhibit was the nucleus
of the one shown at the General Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church
at Los Angeles in the following year.

its grade, its composition, together with
detailed information regarding condi-

size and construction of all bridges,

such plans would be of value to the town

VIII Build Large Dam.

The Lake Dunmore Power & Traction
company, which recently absorbed the
Bristol Electric company, is building a
steam auxiliary plant and has completed
surveys for a large dam to be built about
mile above its present plant on the
New Haven river.
The former company operated its
plant only portion of each day but the
new concern proposes to furnish power
"A hours each day. A new 30 inch pen
stock 700 feet long has been built from
the old pen stock to the steam plant,
thus increasing the head about 40 feet.
The dam will be 80 feet high and will
create pond 1880 feet long by $50 feet
wide. This will double the power of the
plant as it is at present The engineering
work for the company is being done by
II. NJ. Mcintosh of Burlington.
