The worst railroad wreck 1 ever saw developed u ieal hero in the persou of a morphine addict. The transcontinental sleeper in which 1 was a passenger was going through the deserts of Utah. 1 had just finished shaving when there was a terriiic crash, and the ear be gan to roll over and over down the high railway embankment. When it stopped I managed to crawl through a broken window. The porter of the car in which 1 was traveling emerged through the shattered win dow behind me. I told him 1 was a doctor, that among my effects he would find an instrument case and a small hypodermic pocket set, and he returned to get them for me. , Knowing that the greatest need for my services would be in the vi cinity of the engines for it was a head-on collision I went as fast as possible to this locality. Near the locomotives 1 came across the body of one of the engineers, whose leg was almost severed, the blood from a torn artery i spurting high in the air. With the towel still in ruy hand with which I had been drying my face at the time of the accident I made a tourniquet, and, jerking a rib from the bleached bones of a coyote's carcass lying near, tighten ed it until the red flow was stanched. To the gathering passengers I an nounced that I was a physician and would take charge of the injur ed as they brought them to me. An operating table was improvised from the door of the baggage car, seats and trunks, and as the wound ed arrived 1 gave whatever first aid was possible. The excited but un hurt hysterical women were calm ed by being ordered to make band ages from sheets commandeered from the sleepers. In all I attend edabout 100 passengers. e imairuimmrmorrihin in a 4 f i my pocket hypodermic case iu soon exhausted, and at the suffer ings of the victims became greater I realized the great necessity for more. Every doctor U familiar with the characteristic and peculiar pal lor of the opium user. I had re called seeing one of these unfortu nates on the train, and guessed that he would have a supply of this nar cotic with him. Leaving my tem porary operating table, 1 went among the passengers in search of this man, and finally found him, badly bruised, lying beside one of the demolished cars. 1 asked him to give me what morphine he had. lie cheerfully complied, handing me all in his possession, two botJ ties. What that drug meant to the many injured on that hot, treeless desert no one but a physician can ever understand. My first act, after seeing that the badlv injured were given attention, was to get some morphine and hunt for the dope fiend. I found him dead. The shock of the collision, his run d'iwn condition and the fact that he had been deprived of the stimulating effects of the drug had killed him. W. E. Aughinbangh, M. D., in Every Week. VAGARIES OF MEMORY. Curious Cm of an Ignorant Girl Who Could Racita Latin. The psychologists have given much study to the vagaries of mem ory, which ere among the most in teresting of mysteries. Why do we forget certain things and remember others? This question, together with many others of a like nature, seems as yet to be unanswered. William James in the course of a paper on the subject says something which we hae tried in vain to re call will afterward, when we have given over the attempt, "saunter into the mind" as innocently as if it had never be.cn summoned. Then, too, curiously enough, by gone experiences will revive after years of oblivion, often as the result of some cerebral disease or acci dent. Such a case was that of the young woman in Germany, who could nei ther read nor write, but who was held to be possessed of a devil, since, in a fever, she was heard raving in Latin, Greek, and in an obscure rabbinical dialect of Hebrew. Pages and pages of her talk were written down, and they were found to con sist of sentences intelligible in themselves, but not having the slightest connection with one an other. Finally the mystery was cleared up by a physician, who traced the girl's history to the age of nine. Then, he learned, she had been tak en to the house o an old pastor, a great Hebrew scholar. She remain ed in this liouse until the pastor's denth. It had been for years the old scholar's custom to walk up and down a passage near the kitchen and read to himself in a loud voice. His books were examined, and aniqng them many of the passages taken down at the girl's bedside were identified. The theory of demoniacal possession was of course then abandoned. Washington Star. Ho Popped. A gentleman who had been in Chicago only three days, but who had been paying attentisn to a prominent Chicago belle, wanted to propose, but was afraid he would be thought 'too hasty. He delicately broached the subject as follows: "If I were to speak to you of mar riage, after having only made your acquaintance three days ago, what would you say of it ?" "Well, I should say never put off till tomorrow that which should have been done the day before yes terday." Modern Lift. "Guess we have time to play an other game of pool." "Won't your wife scold about keeping dinner waiting?" "No; I think I'd better allow her a little leewav about dinner. I jnst saw her scudding by with a bridge prize nrider one arm and a cen of soup under the other." Louisville Courier-Journal. Surveying and Subdividing Prompt service, work guaran teed.

Ten Dollars An Ounce For Postage The first settlement on the present site of San Francisco dates from 1776. It consists of a Spanish military post (presido) and the Frauciscan mission of San Fancisco de Asis. In 1836 the settlement of Yerba Buena was established in a little cove southeast of Telegraph Hill. The name San Francisco was, how ever, applied to all three settle ments. The United States flag was raised over the town in 1846, and the population rapidly in creased, reaching perhaps 900 in May, 1848. The news of the gold discoveries was followed by crowds of fortune seekers, so that by the end of 1848 the city had an estimated population of 20,000. From that time on San Francisco has grown rapidy. The first regular overland mail communication with the East was established by pony express in 1860, the charge for postage being $5 for half an ounce. In 1869 the completion of the Cen tral Pacific Railway to Oakland marked the beginning of trans continental railway communi- cations. -U. S. Geological Sur vey.
