DEADLY PTOMAINES.
Dangers That Always Attend Post Mortem Surgery.
it is not generally known that a dead
body is simply a mass of virulently poi-
sonous matter almost immediately after
death and long before apparent decompo-
sition sets in. Every medical man knows
thie from his medical college days, for it
i% one of the stock warnings to medical
students and one which they not infre-
quently disregard. Occasionally one pays
the price of his carelessness with his life.
There is probably no long established dis-
secting room in the country that hasn’t in
its records at least one such death. Some-
times the victim of the poison recovers.
Poisoning of this kind is from pto-
maines which are present within a very
brief period after life leaves the body.
Skin taken from a dying person half an
hour before death can be grafted on a pa-
tient and will grow and form healthy tis-
sue. Skin from the same person half an
hour after death might very likely kill
the patient upon whom it was grafted.
There is no form of blood poisoning con-
sidered by physicians to be more danger-
ous than poisoning by post mortem pto-
maines.
The smallest prick or scratch will ad-
mit enough of the dead tissue to cause
death. Often the wound is so minute
that it is not noticed by the victim at the
time. He goes about his business as usu-
al for two or three days. Then he has a
sudden chill, followed by fever. If he
has any suspicion of the truth, he exam-
ines his arms carefully. On one of them
he finds red lines indicating the lymphat-
ic veins, the unmistakable symptom and
usually the signature of his death war-
rant. All that remains for him to do is
to send for the brother physician in whom
he has the most confidence and hope that
his constitution is strong enough to with-
stand the action of the ptomaines. If
the septic action is very virulent, the arm
and shoulder swell, high fever, with a
temperature reaching to 106 or 107 de-
grees, follows, the swelling passes to the
body, which becomes discolored, the red
tracings of the ptomaines make a net-
work over the skin, and a week or ten
days after the venom has entered the lit-
tle, unnoted scratch the patient falls into
a state of coma from which he never
emerges.
A physician who has’ had many years
of experience in medical colleges and the
dissecting room, in speaking to a reporter
of post mortem said:
“I have never failed, so far as 1 can
remember, to warn students about using
the utmost care in dissecting with their
knives and needles, lest they scratch their
hands or wrists. So in all the medical
schools there is a stringent rule against
any person going into the dissecting room
who has any kind of sore, scratch or cut
on his hands, but all these precautions
prove insufficient sometimes. Sewing up
cadavers is one great source of danger.
The dissector is likely to be hasty or
clumsy with his needle and pricks him-
self. If he notices the prick he will. up-
less he is criminally careless. suck the
wound vigorously, for the ptomaines may
be taken into the stomach without dan-
ger. Unless he is satisfied that he has
got out all the septic matter he will cau-
terize freely. If he doesn’t notice the
wound until the symptoms make them-
selves known he will be fortunate if he
gets off alive, for it is almost impossible
to check the poison once it has fairly en-
tered the system.
“I recall a case several years ago which
I attended. The patient was a young
physician, Dr. C. of this city. While dis-
secting he scratched a finger of his right
hand and immediately sucked the wound
and washed it in antiseptics. Three days
later his finger began to swell. He laid
open the sore and cauterized it freely, but
a day or two later signs of inflammation
appeared along the lines of the lymphat-
ics. The patient had already suffered
from chills, fever and depression. I was
called in and by the time I got there the
hand and wrist were badly swollen and
the swelling was extending up the arm.
It got as far as the shoulder, and 1 had
an extremely sick man on my hands.
About all that could be done was to keep
up the heart action with stimulants, and
Dr. C.’s naturally strong constitution
kept him up till the poison had run its
course. His system took its own way to
rid itself of the poisonous matter, and for
six months his life was made miserable
with abscesses, but he recovered com-
pletely. In this respect he was more for-
tunate than another physician of my ac-
quaintance who was poisoned by a ca-
daver through a hangnail. That was ten
years ago, and he still has abscesses
which he ascribes to the after effects of
the ptomaines. | know of a number of
other cases of post mortem poisoning
which had fatal results. In fact, a large
majority of these cases result fatally.”
Another curious form of post mortem
poisoning is a sort of warty excrescence
which appears upon the hands of em-
balmers, morgue keepers and others who
habitually handle dead bodies and is
known scientifically as verruka necro-
genica. It is very difficult to root out
and in some cases results apparently in
ptomaine poisoning, as the chills, fever
and swelling of this poisoning follow its
spread. Only less dangerous than poi-
soning from a dead body is poisoning
from the dead tissue of a live person,
though the septic process is different.
Physicians operating upon gangrened
limbs are obliged to exercise the greatest
care. Not long ago a Brooklyn doctor
while thus operating and bending over
the affected part got a drop of blood from
it on the inner part of his nose. Despite
all his precautions the organ soon be-
came sore and began to swell. In a short
time it was as big as his fist. Another
physician was called in to treat him, and
after a week, during which time his life
hung on the question of whether the poi-
son would tend upward to the brain or
not, the patient was informed that his
life wouid be saved. but his nose would
have to go. He begged a respite for his
nose, and the poison subsided, leaving
that organ as good as new except for one
small scar.—New York Sun.
The Peculiar Chinese.
In China when an honor is conferred
on a family it is the ancestors and not
the descendants who share the glory. If
a Chinaman for his merits receives a
title of nobility, his son can never inherit
it or have the right to use any but an in-
feror title. Thus the nobility in the fam-
ily goes on diminishing from generation
I Seneration till it finally becomes ex-
nct.
A Champagne Cork.
E)
It Costs More Than the Wine That®ls In the Bottle.
To the average lover of champagne the
apparent climax of value is in the fizzy
fluid itself. Bottle, cork and label are
merely accessories. Yet the fact remains
that the original cost of the wine is rela-
tively trifling, and the most expensive
part of the whole affair, leaving out the
cost of the expert labor expended in
“ripening” the vintage, is the despised
and swollen cork. The cork stands for
more than the first cost of the wine plus
the value of the bottle, wire, label and
wrappings. The cork costs 25 cents. All
the rest only foots up a fraction under
18 cents.
The champagne cork is the finest bark
that is grown. The texture must be flaw-
less or the life of the wine will be lost.
Then its peculiar shape requires that it
shall be fashioned by hand. No machine
has vet been invented that will satisfy
the champagne cork connoisseur as well
as the deft work of nimble fingers. This
expenditure of skill and time combines
with equality to make these particular
bottle stoppers cheap at a quarter apiece.
The young wine, on the contrary, when
it goes into the bottle is cheap—16 cents
a quart. The value and the flavor come
with age. Countless times the bottles
must be turned carefully and gently be-
fore the juice of the grape is fit to tickle
the palate of an epicure.
There is a wonderful city in France,
the subterranean city of Epernay, into
whose silent streets no ray of sunshine
ever steals, where the wine is stored to
ripen, guarded as jealously as if it were
gold and handled as tenderly as if it
were human. Miles and miles of streets
are hewn out of the chalky soil and
cemented with millions and millions of
champagne bottles of all blends and vint-
ages left there to ripen. When the bot-
tles went into these underground -clois-
ters, the cork was king by virtue of its
cost. When they return to the world of
light and life, the cork has become insig-
nificant in comparison with the wine.
Winchouses frequently pay good prices
for corks bearing their mark, thus en-
abling themselves to gauge accurately
the esteem in which various vintages are
held by the public.
Champagne corks, too, have a special
value in the tiolet. Their fine texture
makes them peculiarly available in treat-
ing the skin with powders or similar ap-
plications, and the Parisian or Viennese
belle whose toilet set does not contain
an assortment of champagne corks is
rare. The finest and most perfect speci-
mens only are used for this purpose, and
they retail readily at the equivalent of 50
=zzts each, —Chicago Inter Ocean.
Shooting Stars.
Thousands of Them Flash Through Space Every
Twenty-four Hours.
Shooting stars are only little masses of
matter—bits of rock or metal or cloudlets
of dust and gas—which are flying unre-
sisted through space just as planets and
comets do. in paths which, within the
limits of our solar system, are controlled
by the attraction of the sun. They move
with a speed of several miles a second,
far exceeding that of any military pro-
jectile. but are too small to be seen by us
except when they enter our atmosphere,
and. becoming intensely heated by the ro-
sistance they encounter, light up and
burn for a moment; for, to use Lord Kel-
vin’s expression, a body rushing through
the air at such an enormous velocity is
during its flight virtually “immersed in a
blowpipe flame” having a temperature
comparable with that of an electric are.
As a rule, they are completely consumed
in the upper air, so that nothing reaches
the surface of the earth except perhaps
a little ash, settling slowly as an imper-
ceptible ‘‘smoke.” Occasionally, how-
ever, some mass larger than usual sur-
vives in part the fiery ordeal. and its frag-
ments fall to the ground as specimens of
the material of “other worlds than ours.”
The total number of these flying peb-
bles in interplanetary space must be
enormous, though estimates differ rather
widely. An ordinary observer under or-
dinary circumstances will average about
eight an hour in a clear, moonless sky.
Schmidt of Athens. however, in the clear
Grecian air, nearly doubles the number
and reckons about 15 to the hour for a
single observer. It is found also that
one person is able to note about one-sixth
of all that are visible at his station by a
party of observers sufficiently large to
watch the entire heavens minutely. If,
therefore. we accept the estimate of
Schmidt, it appears that about 2,200
must ordinarily come within the range
of vision at any given station every 24
hours, though of course those that fall
in the daytime cannot be seen.—Profess-
or C. A. Young in Lippincott’s.
A Much Abused Word.
The Chicago Tribune observes: *“Writ-
ers should save the time of readers by
abandoning ‘very’ and giving an over-
worked word a rest for a few years.
It has earned that rest. Tkat word as
an adverb is found less than 20 times in
the King James translation of the Bible.
The rarity of its use makes it count for
all the more when utilized. When it is
said that ‘the man Moses was very
meek,’ one understands that he was meek
beyond the custom of the Israelites of his
day. When St. James says ‘the Lord is
very pitiful,’ the ‘very’ is full of sig-
nificance. But if the good and the bad
deeds, the cruel and tne heroic acts re-
corded in the Bible were to be described
by most writers of the day there would
be a ‘very’ in almost every lire.”
Japanese Silent Recluses.
There is a community of female re-
eluses at a place called Yunakawa. about
seven miles from Hakodate. A matron
of some 50 years presides, and her in-
structions are implicitly obeyed. The
women are all young, ranging from 16 to
27, and some of them are described as
very beautiful. The building stands in a
farm of some 250 acres, but the women
do not engage in any agricultural work.
They spend most of their time indoors,
reading the Bible, and they appear to
observe a strict rule of silence.—Yoko-
fama Mail.
The Son Did It.
*I didn’t know Boxer was so bow leg-
ged.”
“He wasn’t until a few days ago. He
went to sleep in the sun, and that wood-
en leg of his warped.” —Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
In the reign of James I water was sup-
plied by two or three conduits in the
principal streets of London, and the river
and suburban springs were the sources
of supply.
Armagh is said to be the apple orchard

Fine White Shirts.
High Prices Paid by Some Men For This Item of
Apparel.
A man can buy a good, weli made, well
fitting white shirt for $1; he can buy
other white shirts for less than that, and
then he can get shirts made to order at
‘any price he wishes to pay up to $10
each. He can find establishments where
the lowest priced white shirt kept in
stock sells at $3.50 and where.the lowest
priced shirt made to order is sold at $4,
or $48 a dozen. A shirt of this sort
would have a body of the best domestic
eotton and a plain linen bosom. It would
be simply a fine, handsome, well made
shirt, and probably more than 50 per cent
of the shirts sold here would be of that
price and description, the other 40 per
cent or so being shirts finer still. At
$5.50, for example, or at $6 with the col-
lar attached, could be had a shirt with a
body of French muslin and a bosom of
pique of very fine quality. The patterns
of the pique are likely to be rather simple
than otherwise in design, and the shirts
are made sometimes with the lines of
pique running vertically in the bosom and
sometimes with the lines horizontal. Sub-
dued in effect as the pattern is, the pique
bosomed shirt might nevertheless seem
to some men rather fanciful, but there
can be no doubt that many of the fine
shirts of this character are thoroughly
artistic productions. A shirt of this kind,
as it comes from the hands of the expert
ironer, with the delicate pique pattern
showing faintly in absolutely faultless
lines upon a bosom so ironed that it has
a slight convexity of outline and the per-
fect uniformity of a shield, is certainly
an object that is agreeable to the eye.
Pique bosomed shirts are worn chiefly
by young men. Of all the higher priced
dress shirts, such as are here referred to,
taken together, perhaps 25 per cent would
be made with pique bosoms, 75 per cent
being made with plain linen bosoms.
A shirt that sells at $9, or $108 a dozen,
is made with a body of figured linen
batiste, with an extra fine linen bosom;
the collar and cuffs are attached. All the
materials of which this shirt is made are
fine and sheer and beautiful and very
light. A completed shirt of this sort, un-
laundered. weighs less than four ounces.
All fine dress shirts such as are here
mentioned are invariably made with cuffs
attached. but not always with collar at-
tached. and it was not necessary that
they should be, and yet it was said that
if the wearer desired to attain the acme
of perfection in his apparel and to be
able to withstand any scrutiny he had
his shirts made with collar as well as
cuffs attached.
Men that wear shirts of these sorts buy
four or five dozen of them a year or per-
haps more. They don’t wear them after
signs of wear appear, and the shirts go
often to the laundry, which helps to
wear them out. It is a eommon thing for
men ordering such shirts to order, say,
two dozen at a time, having one dozen
perhaps sent to their country house and
one dozen to their city house, and the
purchasers of goods of this kind are not
confined to customers from this city and
neighborhood: they are to be found in all
parts of the land.—New York Sun.
Burying a Rattlesnake Alive.
It would not seem a very easy thing to
bury a snake alive, but that is what a
traveler through western Indian Terri-
tory saw some prairie dogs doing. The
story is told in Forest and Stream.
The traveler was resting under a tree
when he noticed a commotion among
some dogs near him. They would run
up to a certain spot, peep at something
and then scamper back. Looking more
closely, he saw 15 to 20 dogs about a
rattlesnake, which presently went intc
one of the dogs’ holes.
No sooner had it disappeared than the
little fellows began to push in dirt, evi-
dently to fill up the hole. By the time
they had pretty well covered the entrance
the snake stuck his head up through the
dirt, and every dog scampered off to a
safe distance, all the time barking.
The snake slowly crawled to another
hole about a rod distant and went in.
Then forward came the dogs again, and
all went to work to push up earth to the
hole. This time they succeeded and com-
pletely covered the entrance. This done,
they proceeded to beat the earth down,
using their noses to pound it with. When
it was quite hard, they went away. The
traveler examined their work and was
surprised to find that they had packed
the earth in solid with their noses and
had sealed the snake inside.
Brought Her a Fortune.
A short time ago a man died in Brus-
sels leaving nearly his entire fortune to
a young woman who was entirely unac-
quainted with him. This is how it came
to pass: He was a very eccentric man
and set out, like Diogenes, in search of
an honest man. His tub was an omnibus
and his lantern a small coin.
In the omnibus he took his seat every
day near the conductor and always show-
ed himself very obliging in passing up
the money of passengers and returning
the change, but to the latter he always
managed to add a franc or a half franc.
Then he would watch those to whom it
came. They would ccunt it carefully,
notice the extra coin and invariably slip
it into their pockets. No one thought of
the poor conductor. whose meager salary
of only 3 francs a day could ill support
such a loss.
But at last a young woman passed hers
back, with, “Conductor, you have given
me half a franc too much.” Diogenes,
delighted, followed her home, made in-
quiries, made his will in her favor,
though he never gave her warning that
her half franc was going to bring her
£500,000.—Columbian.
What Is Education?
Herbert Spencer tells us in one short,
pregnant sentence that the function of
education is to prepare us for complete
living.
A true chord is touched by Sydney
Smith when he urges the importance of
happiness as an aid to education. He
says. “If you make children happy now,
you make them happy 20 years hence by
the memory of it.”
Equally wise ave the words of Sir John
Lubbock: “Knowledge is a pleasure as
well as a power. It should lead us all to
try with Milton to behold the bright
countenance of truth in the still air of
study.”
A Pretty Strong Hint.
They had been engaged to be married
15 years, and «%ill he had not mustered
up courage enough to ask her to name
the happy day.
One cvening he called in a peculiar
frame of mind and asked her to sing
something tender and touching, some-
thing that would “move him.”
She sat down at the piano and sang,
“Darling. I Am Growing 01d.”
The Island of Guam.
One of the Oddest and Most Curious American
Colonies.
The strangest of our island possessions
and the most curious of our recently ac-
quired colonial acquisitions is represented
on the map of the Pacific by adotin a
series of dots. It developes, however,
when viewed at closer range, into a con-
siderable territory, peopled by good though
somewhat dusky-hued, American citizens.
The Isle of Guam is one of a volcanic
series constituting the Ladrone group. It
is within the tropics, a 1,200 mile sail east-
ward from Manila. From the deck of an
approaching ship one sees rugged hills,
barren in spots, and heavily wooded else-
where, deep valleys, and a bold headland
jutting ous to the sea at the northern ex-
tremity.
On August 10, Governor Leary issued a
proclamation by which he, in the name of
the United States Government, formally
occupied and commenced the administra-
tion of the baby colony. His assistant,
lieutenant W. E. Stafford, U. 8S. N., one of
the best linguists and naturalists in the
navy, is settled in Agana, where the Agana-
ants approve enthusiastically of American
provisions. ‘They are very interesting.’’
said Mr. Stafford perplexedly, ‘and if I
had time I’d like to watch them, but it’s
a nuisance when one is hungry to find
nothing in the house fit to eat.”
The marines are now occupying renovat-
ed barracks in a rather homesick what-
will-we-ever-do-here style . and speci-
ally enlisted mechanics from the Yosemite
are at work repairing and fitting up the
palace with offices and quarters for the
Governor. As one of the carpenters re-
marked, however, ‘‘Hammer an’ nails
won’t fix it ; they’d ought to have kept
the Spanish garrison here for two years
hard labor with scrubbing brushes. ”’
Still matters are rapidly improving
although thus far the feeling of uncertainty
and expectation of the people is as keen as
ever, enough has been done to show that
the new government will insist upon good
order and morality, at least among the
leaders of the people. The Nanshan,
which sailed from the harbor of San d’A pia
in September, carried to Manila certain
Filipinos of bad antecedents who were
making trouble.
The first official order issued by the new
governor was designed for the protection of
the garrison from the effects of the spirits
manufactured by the natives from cocoanut
toddy or ‘‘tuba.’”” It makes it a criminal of-
fense to sell any spirits whatever to Amer-
icans or Europeans who have landed on the
island since the commencement of Govern-
or Leary’s administration. It isexpected
that before long additional orders prohibit-
ing the importation of spirits for sale, and
directing the destruction of the sixteen
‘“‘tuba’’ stills on the island. Some of the
stills have been licensed to operate for a
long period, but a way will doubtless be
found to cancel these licenses, probably by
remiting the fees.
Another proposition that will soon be
acted upon is the return of such of the Car-
oline Islanders as wish to go to their own
home. There are but sixty of these now
left on the island of Guam, and they are
dying off very rapidly. Originally
they were brought to the Marianas as con-
tract laborers, but were found, in spite of
their apparent fine physique, to be quite
unfit for the work. In 1856 there were
over one thousand of them in the islands,
but many have since returned.
After six months acquaintance with the
Filipinos, it is now possible to make a bet-
ter comparison between them and the
Chamouos of Guam than was the case last
March. Speaking generally, the Chamonan
though of somewhat similar build, is con-
siderably taller and more robust than the
Filipino. This isespecially the case with
regard to the women, who in Guam are
frequently buxom closely approximate to
the height of the men. The Chamoans are
also much lighterin complexion. Some of
this is probably due to admixture of
European blood ; but it is hard to say, for
the Spaniards in 1886 accredited the entire
crop of Marianas with only thirty-eight mes-
t1zos out of a total population of ten thou-
sand. Perhaps they dignified with the
name mestizo only those who had wealth
and position. The costumes of the people
are very similar to those in the Philippines
although, of course, the disadvantage under
which the ladies of Guam suffer in being so
far remote from shops and bargain counters
makes itself apparent in the plainness of
their attire. Their principal adornment
when arrayed in their best being a rosary
of beads and brass; but even that tawdri-
ness lost its cheapness, and was exalted
and dignified by their beautiful necks and
shoulders. Aboveall, however, the Cham-
onos are good-natured, courteous, hospit-
able, and expectant of good times under
American rule. Let us hope that they
will not be dissapointed.
