A Story ToI<1 of Abel Ernimua, the Boer, and Lord Wolseley. A good story is told of the old Boer, Abel Erasmus, and Lord Wolseley, then Sir Garnet Wolseley, in connec tion with the part Erasmus took hi Wolseley’s campaign tn 1871) against Sekukunl, the chief of the Bapedls, on tlie borders of Swaziland. After the capture of Sekukunl he was Immedi ately brought before Sir Garnet Wolse ley, who asked him how he, a misera ble Kaffir, living In a cave, dared to defy the great queen of England. The chief replied that he bad been Insti gated to do so by Abel Erasmus. Sir Garnet In describing the scene at a public dinner given to him at Preto ria on bls return from the campaign said that he wished there and then to let Abel Erasmus know that If ever he found that Erasmus bad been Inciting any chief to levy war against England and he was able to lay bands ou him Abel Erasmus would hang as high ns Haman. A few days after the dinner Sir Hen ry Brackenbury. Sir Garnet’s military secretary, was sitting In his office when a tall, bearded Boer entered aud asked permission to speak with him. "I am Abel Erasmus,” he said, "and I have very Important business to do here.” lie explained that he bad come to see Sir Garnet Wolseley, for he had beard that Sir Garnet had said that if he could lay hold of him lie would bang him. and so he had conic to be banged. Sir Garnet was tn the next room, and Sir Henry Brackenbury thought It would be advisable to consult lilm on the subject Sir Garnet, however, haj>- pened to lie too busy nt the moment to see anybody. and Sir Henry after re flection persuaded his angry visitor to take Ills leave and allow the banging to stand over for the time. itit FACTS ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF CHLOROFORM AND ETHER Evll lleed» Are Vol Kaay to Do Mllh the Aid o< These Drug»—Soiue ular Mlilst»rmatlon on the Subject <orrected. A curious ease of rvbliery under chloroform which vas decided In Ixm- don not long a*' was followed with great Interest writers on'medical jurisprudence, Hitherto many such writers have expressed great doubt about the ’»«• cases, for the process is by no means so easy of use its people think. Very extrnvagaut Ideas prevail . aiuoug the public as to tlie power of anaesthetics, owing perhaps to the II- 1 cense employed by novelists when they 1 describe "fancy" cases lti their t>ooks. One rends, for Instance, of a man In a railway carriage waving ti hand kerchief before the face of a fellow traveler and producing Instantaneous unconsciousness. This Is absolutely Impossible. Another Imaginative writ er recently described a murder carried out by pushing a towel saturated with a powerful ana-sthetlc under tho bed- rootn door of Ids sleeping victim. This also Is nonsense. In another tale the more feasible plan la carried out of enterlug the sleeping man's cliaml>er. pouring the amvsthetie on the bed. the murderer standing by and watching ills victim die. But even tills Is stretching the truth rather se verely. The true facts about chloroform and Its companion amvsthetie, ether, are ns follows: First, with regard to administering the drug during sleep, doctors have made very exhaustive experiments, for It would bo of great advantage to a pa tient on whom an operation has to be performed to chloroform him while asleep and save him the horror which so many people have of the Inhalation, and they sum up the results, showing that very rarely can chloroform be ad ministered to a sleeping person without awakening him. Grown people are, with the rarest exception, awakened by the Irritating fumes. If a man wero tired and If bis nose were naturally In sensitive to unpleasant odors, and es pecially If he were under the Influence of drink, it might bo possible to make him unconscious while asleep. But not even every doctor could do It. The op eration would require the highest skill, aud tho most skillful administrator would succeed only once In a hundred times. If wo take the case of spilling the chloroform In a room and thus Impreg nating nil the nlr of the room, tlie thing Is out of the question. Yet not only do novelists assert that this can be done, but tunny people have been actually charged in real lifo with doing It—for the purpose of blackmailing them, for Injuring them or perhaps to throw off suspicion from tlie pretended victim who -has committed tho robbery him self. If the room measures, say, 12 feet square and Is 0 feet high, It would probably tnke a gallon of chloroform spilled on the floor to make a man un conscious. All the chinks and crannies would have to bo stopped up first, moreover, and the operator himself would have to be poison proof or he also would succumb. As a matter of fact, the only way to render a person unconscious by the uso of chloroform Is 111 the way practiced by surgeons Ill the operating room. And this Is by no means tin easy task. There are several ways of doing IL Tho chlo roform may be dropped on a handker chief, which Is then held over tlio faco at some little distance, or It may bo dropped ou a sponge, or It may lie used In one of the Innumerable machines In vented for the purppse. But the vapor must bo mixed with air before It Is breathed. That Is the reason the hand kerchief or the sponge Is held some Inches from the face. As a rule It takes from five to eight minutes to make the person unconscious, and dur ing this time ho generally struggles very violently. It Is probnble that many of the charges of chloroforming which have been made are false. Sometimes the pretended victim nsserts that bo has become unconscious Immediately. But It has been shown In evidence that the time necessary to bring about this re sult Is at least four or five minutes. Sometimes he says be could not cry ouL yet he describes all the circum stances of the administration minute ly. Now, the first effect of the chloro form is to produce confusion of the mind, while, on the other band, the patient can cry out almost up to tlie last. He becomes mentally confused before lie loses the power of speech. These few facts are sufficient perhaps to demonstrate thnt some charges of (Misslble chloroforming are necessarily untrue.—Loudon Mall. loiutnisÿiotkrs Court KISSING. fudge Summer their mouths to their wive»’ «onth», aUd. to. ..............
