Said Henry Billings, a retired rail road engineer: “ I was running a night train on the Santa Fe road back in the seventies. This particular night had been stormy and threatening, and the flashes of lightning were frequent and intense. We were running ahead of our schedule iu order to make a siding in time to al low an extra to pass us, and were travel ing, I suppose, at the rate of about 80 or 35 miles an hour. “ I was sitting with my face close to the forward window of the cab, gazing straight ahead, when in a brilliant blaze of electricity a man’s arm and head suddenly burst with great force through the glass and the open hand struck me squarely in the face. I was dazed for an instant by the blow, aud held blindly to the side of the cub. My first thought wus that some trump was trying to hold up my train to rob the passengers, and, acting on this idea, I seized my wrench from its place and dealt the head of the intruder a blow with all my might. “ The fireman, thinking I had killed the man, shut off steam and we slowed down and took our lanterns to examine the strange visitor. I could not describe the feeling that crept over me when I climbed upon the engine and looked at the man whom I believed had attacked me. His entire body below the arms was gone. It was easy to understand what had happened. He had been struck by the rapidly moving engine aud his body severed as with a knife, the lower half falling to one side and the head and arms flying straight through the cab window.” — Atlanta Journal. Leaves T h a t A r e F ifty F «e t Long. In our temperate climate none of the trees has leaves of a size that w ill even compare favorably with those of the sea island and tropical countries in general. The maple, the oak and the elm leaves are but infinitesimal bits of green when compared with the gigantic sheets of velvety verdure found ou some of the trees, shrubs and plants of South aud Central America. The South American tree which has the largest leaf is thelnaju palm, which grows ou the banks of the Amazon. Tho leaves of this giant are often 50 feet iu length, but they are very narrow, sel dom exceeding 8 to 10 feet. With the Ceylonese eocoanut palm it is different. In that species the leaves are from 20 to 85 feet in length and from 16 to 18 in width. The natives of Ceylon are said to use these leaves in tentuiakiug, three or four being sufficient to make a shelter for a whole family. An extraordinary specimen of Ceylonese palm leaf now in the British museum, aud which must be a freak— because the average length and breadth of the leaves of this variety of trees do uot exceed the figures given above— is 36 feet in length and 28 in width, even though it is admitted that it must have shrunk one-fifth in dry ing.— St. Louis Republic. T h e Porte. The portn is the short name of the sublime porte, which is the official way o f speaking of the Turkish government. In tho east judicial business is transact ed at the city or palace gates. One story says tliat the sultan of Bagdad put in the portal of his palace a piece of sacred black stone of Mecca, tlins making his gate the porte. Another says that Sultan Orkhan built a gorgeous gate to his place in Broussa. Both of these stories are probably untrue so far as they pur port to explain the name as applied to the Turkish government. Just as the British court is called the court of St. James and the late French court that of the Tnileries, because their head quarters were iu the palaces of St. James and the Tnileries respectively, so the Turkish court got the name sublime porte because its headquarters were iu the palace of Bab-i-Hu mayan, or the Lofty Gate, iu Constantinople. The name has been attached to the building in that city which shelters the four prin cipal departments of the government.— N ew York Sun.

A Fond M oth er's Ruse. Ef On May 4, 1898, about 1 :30 o'clock p. in.. Mrs. X , while dining, quarreled with her hnuhand, rushed up stairs and swallowed an ounce of liquid carbolic acid with suicidal intent. Mr. X. fo l lowed hi8 w ife in less than 13 minutes, to find her lying on the floor in a deep sleep, from which he could not rouse her. He noticed an empty bottle on the bureau labeled carbolic acid and recog nized its odor through the room. Medical aid was immediately sum moned, when two physicians promptly responded, made a hurried examination of the condition and surroundings of the patient, who was in a profound stu por, with pupils contracted to pin points, injected atropine to antagonize the poison supposed to have been taken aud then used the stomach pump. Demulcents— such as olive oil, glyc erin, etc. — aud limewater aud sul phuric acid were also administered with the stomach pump about this time, aud an effort was made to waken the pa tient with the faradic current, but without result. Mrs. X. was now allow ed to remain undisturbed until 9:30 p. m ., when an attempt to restore her to consciousness succeeded. Ou first awak ening she was dazed, rambled and was unable to realize her position for a few minutes, but soon rallied and answered questions readily. When asked what she had used, without hesitation she replied carbolic acid and whisky, and that she experienced but little paiu or burning sensation and declared she slept sound ly, having pleasant dreams. With the exception of slight nausea and depression of spirits for a few days she suffered little or no more inconven ience and made a rapid and satisfac tory convalescence, and has enjoyed ro bust health ever since. The slight corrosive action and free dom from pain experienced on the pres ent occasion proved the value of her ex periments and suggests a new and effi cient plan of treatment in carbolic acid poisoning. A mixture of equal parts of carbolic acid aud alcohol may be pour ed over the back of the hand, leaving scarcely a trace of corrosive action if promptly washed off with alcohol. The white stain caused by the liquid carbol ic acid can be removed by the immedi ate aud continued application of alco hol. In the case of a young man who came to my office suffering from intense itching caused by a spider bite I applied liquid carbolic acid, which stained the skin white. This application was left on the affected part until it caused se vere pain, when it was thoroughly re moved with alcohol, followed by the ape plication of a pad of absorbent cotton saturated with alcohol. By this means the stain was removed and pain relieved until heat was felt in the pad, when both stain and paiu dis appeared. The heated pad was now dis carded and replaced by one of a similar kind, freshly prepared, when stain and pain vanished a second time, to return with heat in the pad. This phenomenon continued as long as heat developed in the pad and ceased when it was no lon ger evolved. The only result besides re lieving the itching was an intense red ness of the skin over the affected area, which disappeared in a few days, at tended by desquamation of the cuticle. This case also affords a striking illus tration of the resemblance in the symp toms produced to carbolic acid aud opi um poisoning. The diagnostic feature in the present case was the quiet aud regular breathing. Alcohol, apart from its power as an antidote, is required as a stimulaut in the majority of cases of carbolic acid poisouing, to combat the intense depres sion usually experienced, and it would therefore appear as if alcohol were a true antidote in carbolic acid poisoning. — Medical Record. There is a mother oil the uorth side who baa a fam ily of amall children. One day she became very lunch interest ed in a book, and it seemed as i f she must read it, bnt the children bothered her very much. Finally she thought of a scheme whereby she could get rid of the children, so she took a broom and pat a red cloth on it and hung it ill the window. She then told the children they must play she had the smallpox, and that they must not dare come near her, for they would catch it. They kept away beautifully all the afternoon, and she finished the book. Some o f the neighbors also saw the red flag and asked the children what was the matter, and they said smallpox, and the report was current on that side of town in a very short time. Not only the children, but the neighbors, kept away until they learned of the scheme.— Indianapolis Journal.

Born iu J819, her majesty has, of course, passed the period allowed by the psalmist as the average for earthly en joyments and sorrows. The world into which she was born was troublous! memories of Waterloo were still fresh; Napoleon Bonaparte was still alive, aud a prisoner; capital punishment was awarded for almost any offense; the wager of battle was still unrepealed; riots prevailed all over the country; Lord Edward Fitzgerald was under at tainder; Sir Charles Wolseley was in dicted in Chester; John Cam Hohhonse was committed to Newgate by speaker’s warrant for a pamphlet disparaging the house of commons; the Earl of Fitz- w illiam was dismissed from the lord lieutenancy of the West Riding ; book sellers were imprisoned for selling Paine's “ A ge of Reason;’ ’ the country was ringing with the news of the Peter- loo massacre, when the yeomanry fired upon the mob, and Henry Hunt, the chairman of tbe meeting, coming np to London for his trial, received an ova tion.
