a window placard bearing the name
John J. Diogenes. He touched the
bell button and presented to the
f1unky who opened the door his card :

of the hall parted and man entered.

BROUGHT BACK FROM DEATH
LIneman Resuscitated After He Appar-
emily Had Been Killed by Touch
ina Heavily Charged Wire.

A remarkable case of resuscitation
after electric shock is narrated in
recent report of an inspector of a
New York power company, which
gives particulars of the recovery of
one of his men from the effects of an
electric shock.
The man, when about to erect pri-
mary wires, was apparently killed by
accidentally touching a wire carry
ing current at 1890 volts. A line
man Immediately took hold of the
ankles of the limp body, lifting it
until the whole weight rested on the
neck, and letting it fall. He then
took pair of connectors and ham,
mered the soles of the injured mans
feet without removing his shoes. An
other lineman opened the mans
mouth, pulled forward the swallowed
tongue (which occurs in electric
shock), and was about to begin the
Schaefer prone method Of resuscita-
ton, while the man returned to life.
He was removed to the hospital, and
is now well, though suffering severe
ly from his burns.
Similar cases of recovery are mem
toned in connection with the plan
of striking the feet without removing
the boots or shoes in case of electric
shock.-Scientific American.

LONG THOUGHTS Or YOUTH
Patriotism Of the Day Not Measured
by Brass Band or Throwing OF
Banner to the Breeze.

There is depth to the eide of
thought" at the present day which
is, as Tennyson expresses it, "a tide
too full for sound or foam" And
as Longfellow wrote, "the thoughts
of youth are long, long thoughts"
The patriotism of this day is not
measured by the brass band or bum
combe, or simply throwing the ban
ner to the breeze, says a writer in
Association Men. If there be music
it is the deep, full-throated music of
the soul, and if the banner is being
flung to the breeze it is being flung
in the spirit of sacrifice.
Here is a typical American boy OF
seventeen, nearing high school COM
mencement and at the commence
ment of life. Confronted with the
present crisis, this boy has thought
his way through. 1t was but few
weeks ago he said to his mother: II
have not yet reached conclusion,
but am thinking" A fortnight
later, with a frmness that represent
ed the spirit of the day in thousands
of boys lives and uncounted multi
tudes of boys souls, he said: "Moth-
er, l have made up my mind; l do
not believe that God wants me to
throw my life away. l think he wants
me to care for you (his mother was a
widow, but if the time comes when
1T is necessary for me to 60 to the
war l am ready. And if l am shot,
that is the sacrifice I am willing to
make" Whatever hesitation the
mother had when her son told her
this, the only thing she could do and
did do was to take him to her heart,
with all the pride of an American
mother.
