HE LET THE BULLET STAY.
How Garibaldi’'s Leg Was Saved and
His Health Restored.
Half a century ago it was the belief
of most surgeons that bullets lodged in
any part of the body should be probed
for and ‘extracted at all hazards.”
The modern surgeon, who is able to lo-
cate bullets with mathematical accu-
racy with the X-ray, often allows the
buliet to remain where it has lodged
unless there is some very special rea-
son for digging it out. And results
prove the wisdom of the modern sur-
geon's attitude.
It is an interesting bit of history that
a famous Russian surgeon advocated
and practiced the conservative method
of letting impacted bullets alone more
than fifty years ago and by this method
undoubtedly saved the life of the Ital
ian patriot Garibaldi. The great sol-
dier, wounded in tha right leg and eap-
tured at the battle of Aspramonte, was
placed under the care of several Euro-
pean surgeons, who tried unsuccessful-
ly to remove the bullet.
At that time the Russian surgeon Pi-
rogoff was stopping in Heidelberg, and
the Russian students at that university
raised the sum of 1,000 francs to in-
duce the surgeon to examine Garibaldi.
Pirogoff refused the fee, but he visited
the patriot, examined his wound and,
contrary to the opinions of all the other
surgeons, advised letting the bullet
alone. He suggested removal to a dry
climate with plenty of fresh air and
sunshine. The soldier took his advice,
moved into a dry climate and recov-
ered.—Exchange.
NAMES IN JAPAN.
The Only Lasting Title a Man Gets
Comes When He Dies.
The Japanese have many quaint cus-
toms handed down from generation to
generation. One of the strangest is
that of their naming ceremony. When
one month old a Japanese child gets its
first name with ceremonial. Trumpets
are blown, and the child is borne in
great state to the family temple, and
behind the procession march the house-
hold servants carrying the infant's
wordrobe. The servant in the rear of
the procession bears a huge box, in
which is the priest's fee, together with
three slips of paper, on which three
names are written. On reaching the
temple the names are thrown into the
air, and the first that touches the
ground is the one which the child re-
ceives.
When three years old the child is
again named, accompanied by elaborate
religious rites. At the age of fifteen
his education is supposed to be fin-
ished, and as he then enters manhood
(according to Japanese law) he is again
named.
When he takes to business he re-
ceives his “business” name, by which
he is known in the commercial world,
and upon every upward step in life he
receives a new name. If his master
happens to have the same name he
must at once change it, as it detracts
from his superior’s dignity. At his
marriage his name is altered again,
and his last and only permanent one is
that given him after death, which is
written on his tomb.—London Answers.
The Furtive Look.
Here is something worth while for
bachelors to consider.
A Boston woman says she can detect
a bachelor as far as she can see him.
She always knows a bachelor by his
furtive look. The furtive look, she ex-
plains, is something akin to that of a
hunted animal, always on the watch
for snares and pitfalls. Of course this
may apply only to Boston bachelors,
but it would be well for all other sin-
gle unfortunates to take a good look
at themselves in the mirror and find
that telltale look. If they do there is
an easy way to efface it.—Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Why a Horse Rolls.
Horses are fond of rolling on the
ground, and no animal more thorough-
ly shakes itself than they do. After
a roll they give themselves a shake
or two to remove anything adhering
to the coat. The habit is of much
service to horses living in open plains.
On being turned loose at the end of a
journey an Arab horse rolls in the
sand, which acts as blotting paper, ab-
sorbing exudations from the body. A
shake removes the sand, and the coat
soon dries. Cavalrymen in hot climates
sometimes put sand on their horses as
the simplest and quickest way of drying
them.
No Longer a Child.
“Is mamma's sweet little boy ready
to have his bath now?”
“Oh, maw, put the soft pedal on that
stuff, will you? When a fellow’s six
years old it's time to take him out of
the kindergarten class. I'll take my
splash when I've had my smoke.”—
Pittsburgh Times.
Necessary Things.
One of our rear admirals is quoted
as saying, “The battleship can go to
any part of the world if coal is pro-
vided.”
“This does away with the old sup-
position that water was also neces-
sary,” interposed a bystander.
Silence Is Safety.
After forty years o’ married life I've
made up me mind it don’t matter how
often a man an’ his wife disagrees as
long as he don’t let her know it.—Har-

BLACK FRIDAYS.
First of These Financial Terrors Came
In London In 1745.
Several of the great financial panics
of the past have commenced on a Fri-
day, and this has given rise to one of
the pet superstitions of the stock ex-
changes and bourses of the world—
that the sixth day of the week is
fraught with ill omen for those en-
gaged in financial operations.
The original “Black Friday" occurred
Dec. 8, 1745, in London. On that date
tidings reached the metropolis that the
pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie, had
reached Derby with his forces. Lon-
doners immediately made preparations
to fly from the city, and a panic pre-
vailed. It was on that occasion that
the Bank of England had its closest
call in its long history. The citizens
were anxious to take their money with
them, and the Bank of England was
besieged by an army of depositors.
The bank escaped bankruptcy only by
the expedient of placing “dummies” in
the line to impede genuine depositors
and by paying bona fide depositors in
small coins, thus consuming much
time.
The first “Black Friday” of latter
day financial history was in 1866 and
was due to the failure of one of Lon-
don’s largest banking houses. Three
years later Wall street had a “Black
Friday,” due to an attempt to engineer
a corner in gold. The worst of all
“Black Fridays” was that of 1873,
when on Friday, Sept. 18, it seemed
that the whole financial structure of
the new world had crumbled into ruins.

A FAMILY ORCHESTRA.
Has Your Home One, and, if It Has,
Does This Just Fit It?
When two people conduct an orches.-
tra there is plot material. If the two
are knit by marriage ties the plot thick-
ens. Endicott and I conduct a family
orchestra, he at the piano, I playing
second violin. I know more about mu-
sic than does Endicott; he is more mu-
sical than I. I keep the time; he has
the temperament. Temperament is
more noble than time, but time, I shall
always insist, has its place, perhaps
nowhere more appropriately than in an
orchestra. He at the piano can domi-
nate the situation more neatly than I.
In my position among the strings, how-
ever, 1 can more readily organize a
strike.
The rest of the pieces are presided
over by our children, young people of
inflexible spirit and chromatic moods.
Sometimes we doubt whether we have
our troupe under the rigid control which
as parents we might expect to com-
mand. The conductivity of an orches-
tra, says our son Geoffrey, varies with
the distance of the blood relationship
between artists and conductor. When
the children were little we held the
pleasant theory that a family orchestra
would draw us all close together, stand-
ing always as a symbol of our perfect
harmony. That would be all right if
the harmony would only go to suit us
all equally at the same time. As it is
our little band, in which observers find
so touching a picture of hearthside uni-
ty, suggests sometimes all the elements
of guerrilla warfare.—Atlantic Monthly.
A Statue That Never Was Built.
Mount Athos, in Turkey, was the spot
contemplated by a sculptor for the most
imposing monument that man had ever
had. The sculptor Dinocrates offered
to cut the huge mountain mass into
the form of a statue of Alexander
which should hold a city in the left
hand and in the right a basin to re
celve all the waters that flowed from
the mountain.
Alexander was much taken by the
plan, but rejected it for the practical
reason that there was not food enough
in the district to feed the inhabitants
of the proposed town. So the canal cut
by Xerxes to enable the ships to es
cape sailing round the mountain re
mained the greatest enterprise ever
achieved there.
Equity and Economy.
Two men, strangers to each other,
were seated together on the outside of
a tramecar, and both filled their pipes
simultaneously. One, however, struck
his match first, and the other request-
ed that he might share the light. Hav-
ing done so, he took from his pocket
a box of matches and handed one to
his obliging neighbor. “It is foolish,”
he said, “to strike two when one will
do, but I can’t very well expect you to
provide that one when I have some
also. Let me pay!” A mind of nice
balance in equity as well as economy !—
London Chronicle.
Vain Quests.
A little girl who was trying to tell a
friend how absentminded her grandpa
was said, “He walks around, thinking
about nothing, and when he remem-
bers it he then forgets that what he
thought of was something entirely dif-
ferent from what he wanted to remem-
ber.”—Christian Register.
Caught Both Ways.
Mrs. Exe—My servant girl has left
me. She said I had so much company
there was too much work to do. Mrs.
Wye—That's singular. Mine has left
me too. She said I had so little com-
pany it showed I had no social posi-
tion.—Boston Transcript.
Not Yet.
Mrs. Bacon—Don’t you think I'm en-
titled to a pension, John? Mr. Bacon—
Why, no. A pension is something you
get after you are through fighting.—

MINSTREL WON WAR MEDALS
“Guslar,” by His Playing, Inspired His
Serbian Comrades to Brave
Deeds.
Six times wounded in the world war,
Peter Perunovic, a Montenegrin, was
given permission to leave the army un-
til he had completely recuperated from
his wounds. He felt the need of a
long rest and decided to take it in an
extensive trip. The trip brought him
to Pittsburgh, and he is still in the
city, occasionally to be found in the
headquarters of the Serbian Orthodox
society, the Pittsburgh Post remarks.
Perunovic has in his possession two
medals, the medal of St. Sava and the
medal of Milos Obillis. They are gen-
erally given to Serb soldiers for valor
in the field. Perunovic did not win his
reward wielding the sword. His in-
strument is of a different nature. In
Serbia it is known as the “gusle.”
Ages ago the wandering minstrel,
who sang stirring war songs as he
played on his instrument, was a figure
common to all lands. He has disap-
peared from western civilization, but
Serbia, influenced by the East, with its
romance, has preserved him. His
“gusle” is similar in appearance to the
guitar, stringed, but played with a
bow, made usually of the twig of a
tree in the rough, as if broken off. Its
player is known as the “guslar.”
Perunovic, according to Pittsburgh
Serbs who are acquainted with his ca-
reer, is known to every soldier in the
Serbian army. For, so the story goes,
he has often been transferred from
one regiment to another, exposed to
greater danger, that the music from
his instrument might inspire his com-
rades to brave deeds.
MACHINE TOOLS IN JAPAN
Only Comparatively Recently Has That
Country Undertaken to Produce
Its Own Supply.
Japan has taken up the manufacture
of machine tools seriously only within
the last ten years or so, and, according
to “Alfred Herbert’s Monthly Review,”
little progress was made until about
four years ago, when the government
decided that it was time to encourage
domestic manufacturers, with the ob-
ject of checking the flow of specie
abroad and of rendering the markets
less dependent on foreign supplies. The
war has had a great effect on the de-
velopment of the industry, and as an
example of what has been done large
works, containing roughly 1,000 engine
lathes, 300 capstan lathes and 150 drill-
ing machines, were recently completed
within three months of the first or-
ders being given out, over 90 per cent
of the machines being made in Japan.
In regard to methods of manufacture,
jigs and fixtures are not used to any
great extent, and as most of the works
will accept any order that comes their
way within their capacity there is lit-
tle opportunity for specialization.
