The Supreme Court OF Nevada In
State VS.. Hennessy, 80 Pacific Reporter,
| 221, defines the expression, Il am all

wounded to bystanders and holds that
under such circumstances the express
sion may be taken to mean that the
speaker considers his life is practically
! at Its end.
The Iowa Supreme Court decides an
interesting point of insurance law in
New York Life Insurance Co. VS.. Chit
tenden & Eastman, 10 Northwestern
Reporter, 90. An insured had been abb
sent and unheard Of for more than
seven years, and an administrator had
been appointed for his estate. de-
mand was made on the insurance COM
pany for the insurance, and 1t was paid
Afterwards it was discovered that In
sured was not dead. Thereupon the
insurance company brought this action
to recover the payments made, but, as
these payments had been made volun-
tarily by the company, the court held
that it was not entitled to recover.
A case illustrating the disadvantage
OF substituting statutory enactments
for the common law in declaring sub
stantive rights is in re De Cigaran's
Estate, SO Pacific Reporter, S33, recent
ly decided by the Supreme Court Of
California. In California there Is law
which declares that where an illegiti-
mate child, not acknowledged by his
father, dies intestate, without issue, his
estate goes to his mother, or, on her
deeease, to her heirs. In the case at
bar this law seems to work a substan-
tial injustice, for 1t is held that the
property of an illegitimate daughter,
not acknowledged by her father, passes,
on her death intestate and without is
sue leaving surviving husband, to
another illegitimate child of her pre-
deceased mother by another father, who
had not acknowledged her as his child.
and not to the surviving husband
A case OF more than ordinary inter
est is the case of Kansas VS., Colorado,
q Supreme Court Reporter 655, 206
U. S. As, 81 L. Ed. $50, recently de-
cided by the United States Supreme
Court. In this case the State of Kan
sas sought to enjoin such use Of the
waters Of the Arkansas river in the
State OF Colorado as would diminish
the flow of waters of the river In the
State Of Kansas to the Injury Of the
people thereof, and the United States
sought to intervene on the ground that
the flow Of the river was subject to the
superior authority and supervisory
control of the national government.
The right of Intervention of the ma
tional government was denied on the
ground that the reclamation Of arid
lands is not one of the powers granted
to the national government, and the
Injunctive relief sought by Kansas was
denied without prejudice, as no sub
stantial injury to the interests Of the
people of Kansas had been shown.

TREE-DEsTRoY1Ha RIVER.

Western Stream that Chsws Up the
Growth Along the Banks.
The ella river enters the Colorado
just west Of Yuma, and we crossed its
angry waters through a maze Of eddies
and whlrlpools through which immense
quantities Of driftwood were whirlina
In a mad race, says a writer In Har-
the turmoil, we reached the town at
racing speed and made triumphant
landing with half our journey accom-
plished.
At most places along shore the river
had reached the line Of older growths
and was leveling the larger trees by
hundreds wherever q bend of the river
directed the force Of the current against
the far shore Trees ten inches In diam
eter and twenty to thirty feet high were
constantly topping into the Unsuitable
river.
The fall OF these larger trees was
always graceful. The first intimation
Of 1t was a distinct SILVER that ran
through the entire tree, but was most
marked In the upper branches; a mo-
ment later the tree would bend grace
fully forward as II bowling to its
enemy. An instant's pause and it
would sink slowly into the rushing
waters that had reached to the loosened
and lnshore roots.
Tree after tree Of this large growth
would start down the river broadside
to the current. Slowly at first it would
roll over and over, tangling its branches
into a great skeleton wheel, rolling fast
er and faster as the branches became
more lmpacted and presented fewer
projecting points TO catch and hold s.
moment In the shalIower reaches.
Eventually the branches would be worn
off in such progress, leaving only the
tougher roots to retard It Then the de
nuded tree would give up the struggle,
and whirling into the line Of least re-
sistance, would float head on down
stream until caught by the spreading
roots In some shallow.

Woman's ingenuity with a hairpin,
and her lnvincibility when armed with
hatpin, are well known. a new i'm
plement has now been added to the
feminine equipment-a pair OF rubber
shoes. Four persons were entangled
in the coils of a live wire In New York.
No one dared to help them until a
young girl came along, took off her
rubbers, and using them as gloves,
handled the wire skilfully and safely.
When she had tied it round telegraph
pole, she walked quietly away. after
having refused to give her name.

OLD TIME SURGERY.
The earbarous Methods Of the Six
teenth Century.

Ambrose Pare, a barber surgeon Of
the sixteenth cen.ury, tells in his notes
how in 1851 he went to the long wars
to get practice IN surgery. He invent
ed some new processes. particularly In
the treatment Of amputated limbs.
Up to Pare's time the most barba-
rous means had been used to stop the
bleeding In his own words: $50 soon
% the limb was removed the surgeons
would use many cauteries to stop the
dow Of blood, thing very horrible
and cruel in the mere telling And
truly Of six thus cruelty treated scarce
two ever escaped, and even these werc
long III. and the wounds thus burned
were slow to heal. because the burning
caused such vehement pains that they
fell into fever commissions and other
mortal accidents. In most of them,
moreover, when the scar fell of there
came fresh bleeding, which must again
be stanched with the cauteries. So
that for many healing was impossible,
and they had an ulcer to the end OF
their lives, which prevented them from
having an artificial limb"
The idea of abolishing such cruelty
by using the ligature occurred to Pare
In one Of his war Journeys, and his
success went beyond his own expecta-
lions His other discovery was made
within few hours Of his joining the
army. 1t was believed by the surgeons
Of the day that there was poison in a
gunshot wound, and one Of the accept
ed authorities insisted that they must
lie cauterized with oil Of elders scald-
ing hot, mixed with little trcacle."
The pain was intolerable. 1t happened
that at his first treatment Of gunshot
wounds Pare's OIL ran short. and lie
used instead "a digestive made Of the
yolks Of eggs, oil Of roses and turpen-
tine" To his surprise he found next
morning that the patients he had thus
treated were in better condition .hnn
the others Then resolved never
more to burn thus cruelty poor mcn
with gunshot wounds"
