Soldier of Fortune Dead.

A remarkable soldier has just died
at Budapest in the person of Gen.
Stephen Turr, one of the bravest revo-
lutionary generals that ever lived. He
commenced his military career as a
lieutenant in the Austrian army Then
he fought for the Hungarian revou-
tionary government, helped to Quell a
German revolution, and joined Carl
baldi in his great struggle. On the
outbreak Of the Crimean war he served
as a volunteer in Omar Pasha' S
army against Russia, and finally re-
ceived a commission in the British
transport service. It was while
buying horses for the British
army at Bucharest in 1855
that the general was seized by the
Austrians as a desertcr and sentenced
to death. But both the British and
French governments made such EN-
phatic protests against this sentence
that it was Commuted to baniShment.
Finally, the old soldier settled down
in Paris.

X-Ray Dermatitis.

Mr.. Hall Edwards, who was recent
~ granted civil list III recognition of
his services in the development Of
medical photography, underwent a
further operation at his residence,
Bristol road, Birmingham, recently.
In February last the left arm, which
had been violently attacked by what
is known as X-ray dermatitis, was am
putated below the elbow. This did
not give the relief hoped for, how
ever, the wound failing to heal, and
the patient suffering almost as acute
pain as before. The operation was also
unsuccessful in arresting the progress
of the disease, which developed Sc
riously in the right hand. The last
operation involved the removal of the
fingers of the right hand 1t was per-
formed by Mr.. Gilbert Barlng, assist
ed by Mr.. Macardle and Mr. Vickers

that the patient had recovered from
the effects of the anaesthetic, and was
in as hopeful condition as could be
expected. Mr. Hall Edwards has lat

Causes Of Poverty.

Some people are poor because their
ideas are larger than their purses.
They think the world owes them a
living They do not keep account Of
their expenditures. They try to do
what others expect of them, not what
they can afford. The parents are eco
nOmiCal, but the children have ex-
tfayagant ideas. They prefer to incur
debts rather than to do work which
they consider beneath them. They risk
all their eggs in one basket when they
are not in a position to watch or con-
troll it. They think it will be time
enough to begin to save for a rainy
day when the rainy day comes The
only thing, declares the New York
Herald, the daughters accomplish is
to develop fondness for smart clothes
and expensive iewelry They do not
realize that one expensive habit may
introduce them to a whole family of
eXtraVagant habits. On a moderate
income, they try to compete in appear,
