When chIoroform Was New.

Here is curious little story about
Sir James Simpson, the man who in
troduced the use of chloroform init
surgery, and peril which he escaped,
as recorded by Lyon Playfair. Simp-
son when busy with his researches in
to the subject Of anaesthetics called
one day on Playfair and asked If he
had anything new likely to produce
anaesthesia. Playfair had just pre-
pared a liquid which seemed worthy
of trial Simpson, who knew no fear
prepared instantly to test it on him
self This Playfair refused to allow
until it had first been tried on rabbits
Two were procured and placed under
the effects of the anaesthetic. Mex
day Simpson proposed to try 1t on him
self. I'VE might as well see how the
rabbits have Jared" said Playfair
They found both the animals dead.

Juror the Thaw trial was halted last week,
and there is much conjecture as to the
future of this case. The jury in this
famous trial costs money. 1t is quartered

you can get your imagination to run that

NEW YORK BY NIGHT.
The Spectacle of Its Lights From
Rivers and Harbor

Rivers and Harbor.
BY whatever route you reach or leave
Manhattan Island In the evening the
river lights are beautiful. On the North
river the spectacle varies according to
the hour and season, for the downtown
lights in Manhattan are more numer-
Gus when the days are short and the
tenants Of the great Office buildings
have to light up to finish their days
work. Across from the lower Jersey
ferries late In the afternoon of a winter
day glow and sparkle the great COM
pany Of tall shafts grouped against the
sky, each one pierced to the top with
regular rows of shining windows. A
memorable sight they make, those
shafts and huge blocks Of cleaning
holes, reaching far above their neigh
bors that come between them and the
river. There is much In that spectacle
to recompense tired man for being
commuter and nowhere else ON earth
is there the like of it.
And, besides the tall shafts and the
intervening lower lights and the glow
of the streets that run to the river and
border II, there are all the river lights
the ferryboats, with their long rows of
bright windows, hurrying on their va
rious courses; the sound steamers going
out, other steamers coming in; all man
ner of lights more sober on all manner
of shipping; the street glare and the
ferry house and wharf lights ashore,
and, higher up, here and there the OBJ
trusive and commercial but none the
less radiant advertising signs.
The downtown office building lights
go out early, most of them, but up the
river some of the tall uptown hotels
continue, all the evening and in spite
of curtained windows. to be light
houses.
On the East river, besides the city
lights and the river lights, are the high,
curving bridges, very striking and
beautiful, with their unobstructed out
lines marked by the glow of the cleo
trio bulbs.
There is poetry in these river lights,
bordered and framed by the dark shin
ing water and reflected In it.-E. 8.

APPEALING for more substantial recog-
milton for their services the teachers of
this state have written an open letter set
ting forth their reasons for asking this
advance. They say:
"a decade of unprecedented prosperity
has richly increased the reward of labor
and capital. The teachers. being neither
hand-laborers nor capitalists, are thus
shut out from their share of this prosper
ity. Have they deserved this? But the
case is still worse. The q. s. Department
of Commerce and Labor, after an exhaust
i've investigation. taking into account all
the leading necessaries of life, has found
that the purchasing price of dollar is
but three-fifths of what it was in 1885,
The increased cost of living, therefore,
all but cuts the comparative value of an
income in half. There has been no appre-
cable increase of teachers salaries to
meet this rising scale of living. In truth,
therefore, the salaries have been reduced
instead of being increased.
This situation is discreditable to our
state. New Jersey, in proportion to its
size, is the wealthiest state in the Union
and stands thirteenth in the remuneration
of its teachers. Being situated between
two of the largest cities of the Union,
New York and Philadelphia, this fact is
now a menace to our public schools.
''The struggle to keep our trained
teachers has become chronic. New Jersey
pays for the education of its teachers. and
lets them practice upon its children.
Then, having gained experience, they
leave the state, and the metropolitan tax
payer smiles and reaps the benefit because
he pays something like standard wages.
1.-THE State of New Jersey is not at
fault It has seen the danger, and has
recently enacted laws which have trebled
the appropriation to our various school
districts.
s'The question now lies with the local,
county and civic authorities, and the local
school boards. These will act conform
ably to public opinion. To take up this
matter, to investigate it, to spread en-
lightenment, and to guide opinion in the
direction of the highest public welfare, is
the province of the public press.
There is much justice in the request of
the teachers. AS a general rule they are
not paid in proportion to the services de-
manded of them. Under the expected in
crease of appropriations from railroad
taxation, it will not entail very much
hardship on the different school districts
to make some advance in the compensa-
ton of their teachers. The disposition,
however, appears to be to cut down rather
than to advance; there is mistaken policy
of economy in this line of action. Teach
ing is a mere matter of business and the
man or woman who is able to fill the re-
ouirements of the board of education
should be paid in accordance with the
services rendered.

the State is entitled to director. 1t was

The result was the election of Mr.. Borton

GOOD COLLATERAL.
The Way Tom Fitch of Nevada Used
to "Raise the Wind"


to "Raise the Wind"
Tom Fitch of Nevada was a bright
fellow and one of the best writers and
stump speakers of the west, but he
was thriftless and when he got hard
up would resort to almost any means
to get stake.
One day he wrote a scathing speech
denouncing Sharon, then president of
the Bank of California and afterward
United States senator from Nevada
In it he charged Sharon with almost
every crime known to the Decalogue or
the statutes. He put the manuscript in
large envelope and walked into the
Bank of California.
Here he said to the cashier, hand
ing the package through the window
here are some securities which l offer
as collateral on a loan. Please hand
them to Mr. Sharon in person, and I
will wait for his answer"
Mr.. Sharon was in his private Office.
Breaking the seal of the envelope, he
found the speech and read it through,
together with a note from Fitch, in
forming him that unless he was paid
$1,000 he would deliver that speech in
every town In the state. In a few min
utes the cashier, on Mr.. Sharon's or
der. reported that the collateral was
all right and paid the happy Fitch the
desired amount
Three months afterward, having
in, ,IoA
and dissipation, Mr. Fitch made his
appearance with another speech, this
time of very complimentary charac-
ter, which he promised to deliver at
every convenient opportunity for the
same amount This, too, proved good
collateral, and the story would never
have come to light if Fitch had not, in
a moment of drunken frankness, told
An Anecdote of Shelley.
The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story Of the influence that language
hard to be understood" exercises on
the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent
Garden, London, he accidentally JOS
tied against an Irish NAVY, who, being
in a quarrelsome mood, seemed in
clined to attack the poet. A crowd of
ragged sympathlzers began to gather
when Shelley, calmly facing them, de-
liberately pronounced:
Il have put my hand into the ham,
per. l have looked on the sacred bar
ley. l have eaten out Of the drum.
have drunk and am well pleased. l
have said Knox Ompax,' and it is fin
lshed"
The effect was magical. The aston
ished Irishman fell back. His friends
began to question him. what bar
ley" where's the hamper?' What
have you been drinking?" and Shelley
walked away unmolested
