Saber Cut in a Sxuil.
Dr. William B. Fletcher has a grim
souvenir of the work of a famous sur
geon, the Baron Larrey, whom Napo
{eon remembered in his will with a
gift of 100,000 francs, and the tribute
“to Larrey, my surgeon, the most vir-
tuous man I have ever known.”
The relic is the upper part of the
skull, the valvarium, and shows a sa-
ber cut extending from the junction of
the occipital and parietal bones for
ward to the orbital ridge on the right
side.
“I well knew the man whose skull
this was,” said the doctor, turning the
calvarium in his hand. “He was a
German—I have forgotten his name—
~and lived in this city many years, dy
ing about 1875, at the age of 80 years
He took care of horses for Dr. Parvin
and myself along about 1865, and also
sawed wood to earn his living.
“He was taken care of by the Catho-
lic sisters here in a hospital during the
last years of his life, and as he had
saved his earnings, small though they
were, he left them a small farm in
Kansas at his death.
{ “He was a German in the French
ariny, and received this terrible cut
from a Russian saber, as he told me,
during the retreat from Moscow. in
1812. He told me that Baron Larrey
operated on him. He was about 17
years old at the time, and though his
life was saved, he was partially par
alyzed on one side ever after, and
dragged one foot until the day of his
death.
“Here is where Baron Larrey, 8
years ago, trephined the skull and lift
ed up the depressed bone to relieve the
brain. The orifice and the saber cut
through the skull both closed up with
a membrane like a drum bhead.”—In
dianapolis News.

"BIG BEN."
.
Great Bell Cracked, Broken Up, Recast,
and Then Cracked Again.
“Big Ben,” so called after Sir Benja-
min ‘Hall, who was the first commis-
sioner of works, when the order for the
clock was given, was cast in 1856 at
Norton, near Stockton-on-Tees.
From the North of England this
enormous bell, weighing sixteen tons,
was conveyed to London by sea, where
it had, on a small scale, almost as ad-
venturous a passage as the Egyptian
obelisk which now graces the Thames
embankment. Once or twice during the
voyage, indeed, it was feared that it |
would send the vessel bearing it to-the
bottom of the ocean. Not very long
after the clock had been placed in a
temporary position at Westminster—
on Oct. 24, 1857—and while it was be-
ing rung, as was customary for a short |
time at 1 o'clock on Saturdays, it was
noticed that it had a cracked, uncer-
tain sound.
On a minute examination with a
lighted candle a crack was discovered
to extend from the rim about half way
up the side. The catastropbe to an in-
strunient walch cost 435,543 yvalyied the
question as to who was to pay fer re-
casting it. The founders repudiated
respoisibility, declaring that too heavy |
a clapper (it weighing 12 ewt.) had been
used. The authorities, however, placed
on record that it was “porous, unhomo-
geneous, unsound, and a defective cast-
ing.”
Be that as-it may, “Big Ben” was
broken up and recast at a cost of £700.
[ts weight was 13 tons 10 ewt. 3 qr. 15 |
Ibs., its diameter 9 feet, and its height
outside 7 feet 6 inches. It was rung for
the first time on Nov. 18, 1858.
Alas! in less” than a year after this
the new bell ceased to strike the hours,
having become more seriously cracked
than its predecessor. The erack, whieh
was inside, was three inches in extent.
For about three years afterwatd the-
hours were struck on the largest.of the
quarter bells. The experiment was
then tried of turning the great bell
round so as to present a fresh place for
the hammer, or clapper, to strike on.
With a light hammer this experiment |
proved so far satisfactory that during
the thirty-eight years that have elapsed |
the fissure does not seem to have in- |
creased; and It is possible when the
wind is faverable to distinctly hear it
in most of the suburbs booming out the
midnight hour.—London Mail. =
The First Polar Explorer.
The hardy mariners who were the
pioneers in polar discovery achieved
wonders, considering that they had
everything to learn about méthods of
arctic work and their vessels and
equipment were very inadequate. One

The Tuckers of Versailles, Ind., like all
fond parents, are completely wrapped up
in their children. Their daughter Lucy, in
particular, has given them much concern,
She is fifteen, and from a strong, healthy
girl, three years ago, had become weak and
kept falling off in flesh, until she became a |
mere skeleton, She seemed to have no life
at all, Her blood became impure and finally
she became the victim of nervous prostra- |
tion. Doetors did not help her. Most of
the time she was confined to bed, was very
nervous and irritable, and seemed on the
verge of St. Vitus’ dance.
“One morning,” said Mrs, Tucker, “the
doctor told usto give her Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People, which he brought with
him. He said he was treating a similar casa
with these pills and they were curing the
patient. We began giving the pills andthe
next day could see a change for the better,

The doctor came and was surprised to see
such an improvement. He told us to koep
giving her the medicine. We gave her one
pill after cach meal until eight boxes had
been used when she was well. She has not
been sick since, and we have no fear of tha
old trouble returning. We think the cure
almost miraculous.”

GOSPEL MESSAGES.
“Fear Anchors’’ is the Title of the Thir-
teenth Sermon in the New York
Herald's Competitive Series—Dr. Tal-
mage Preaches a Sermon to Sisters,
Text: “They cast fouranchors out of the
stern.”’—Acts xxvii., 29.
The symbolism of the text is striking and
suggestive. Many lives have been ship-
wrecked for the need of anchors holding
them to steadfastness. However deep we
may feel the waters to be through which we
are sailing, we are often nearer the shoals
and reefs than is imagined.
The first anchor which should be thrown
out is filxedness of purpose. The inner-
most secret of successful lives is in the
concentration of power along certain de-

never before to higher ideals and larger

power, but power undirected is lost.
| constant striking on the same spot makes
| an
impression. Purpose connects and
unifles our months and years and makes of
{:them all but parts of a single whole. Each
day ought to be a link tempered and
welded into the chain of a completed life.
Three-fourths of men’s failures may be
attributed to the lack of purpose. The
house can scarcely be constructed without
a plan; how much less can a human life be
ption of what
it will be when finished? Plan must precede
i construction; the ideal before the realiz
| tion, the purpose before the accomplish-
ment.~—Only the man who aims will strike
the mark. Turn your life into a definite
channel; let it not cover too much terri-
tory, for it is the deeply flowing stream
which cuts away the obstructions and at
ast reaches the sea, while the stream
which spreads itself in shallowness goes
silently into the swamp-land and its life
is ended. - Tho analysis of every completed
life reveals a central point about which
energy and emotion and devotion cluster
themselves.
But purpose to exert its influence must
be accompanied by perseverance, so cast
out the second anchor. Here 1s a vast dif-
ference between the aim and the accom-
plishment. Perseverance is the bending
ofthe bow to send the shaft at the target,
and the bow is the will. “I will fight it
out on this line if it fakes all summer,”
says the great general. That is the spirit
which conquers. No sooner have our plans
| been drafted or our purpose fixed than cir-
i cumstancesi and difficulties seem to con-
spire to defeat and ruinthem. Many aman
has seen his star in the east, but only here
and there has one been possessed of the
courage and devotion to follow it over an
unbeaten path until it led him to his treas-
ure. It is blood earnestness whieh tells.
The man who is ever unconscious of defeat
is he who some day will plant his standard
upon the enemies’ ramparts and win the
day. He who holds on in the face of the
storm, in spite of discouragements, calmly
suffering temporary delays, is he who final-
ly secures his crown and his reward. Shall
we complain of difficulties when a thou-
sand fingers are pointing at wonderful
achievements, made after overcoming tre-
mendous obstacles? Helen Kellar, without
sight, without hearing, without language,
presses on until she passes the entrance
examinations to Harvard University. John
Bunyan, the drunken tinker of Bedford,
rises to the authorship of “Pilgrim’s Prog-
ress.” It is half-heartedness which fails,
but the ‘doing with thy might’’ which suc-
ceeds. Before a determined will and a
passionate devotion men will stand aside
and let you pass—they cannot help it; diffi-
culties will vanish-—they cannot withstand
you; obstruction will be ecrushed—their
puny strength deserts them.
Then, in order to make perseverance
possible, anchor the third, faith in one’s
Too often the estimate of our power
falls far short of what it really is. Emer-
son’s word, ‘“Irust thyself,” carries with it
a true philosophy, forone may not achieve
until there is a firm belief in one’s own
soul. If we rate our ideal at 100 and our
power at fifty the accomplishment will be
but one-half. The great crime men com-
mit against themselves is not in overjudg-
ing, but in underjudging. My self-set
limitations determine the extent of my
achievement. And what right has man,
born in the image of God, with unknown
{ and undeveloped powers standing before a
hidden future, to measure and to circum-
| scribe his eapabilities and to limit his pos-
sibilities of success in the construction of
| life? Only God may measure man, for only
| God knows the height the individual may
| reach,
Men who to-day are almost meas-
ureless in their intellectual sweep are they
| who have not dared with compass and rule
to set their bounds. \This is not conceit,
but a respect forthe untouched, undreamed
soul. So then,
believe not only in your ideal, but in the
| possibility of realizing it.
And then the fourth anchor, faith in God.
We may imagine Paul as the last anchor is
thrown out calling to t sailors, ‘“‘Men,
coming hack,
‘Yes; the rope is taut; we do not see the
ledge down below the waves, but the
anchor holds.” Ah! that is the blessed ex-
| perience of life; this anchor always grasps
the solid rock, the unseen rock of God!
Faith connects man with Omnipotence.
Faith is the conductor which places at our
disposal divine grace and power. This is
the testimony of every child of faith. I
can do allthings through Him.” _ This is
the power not our own which may be ap-
propriated. And there are times when the
safety of the whole life depends upen this
anchor. The anchor of purpose may be
dislodged and flung high upon the shore hy
storm and tempest; the anchor ef perse-
verance may be worn away by the fretting
tide and the cutting sands, the anchor of
faith may snap in twain in some fearful
| crisis when the strain is great and the heart
is sick, but away down below the crashing
| billows of passion and temptation rests
the anchor of faith embedded in the heart
of God. So let uslive with a noble purposes
worthy the patient endeavor and unfalter-
ing devotion we bestow upon it, mindful of
our own undiscovered resources and hold-
ing fast to the might of God.

Rev. Dr. Talmage Preaches Directly to
the Sisters. -
Text: “And his sister stood afar off to
witness what would be done to him.” —Ex-
odus {i., 4.
Princess .Thermutis, daughter of Pha-
roah, looking out through the lattice of her
bathing-house on the banks of the Nile,
saw a curious boat on the river. It had
neither oar nor helm, and they would have
been useless anyhow. There was only one
passenger, and that a baby boy. The boat
was made of the broad leaves of papyrus,
tightened together by bitumen. “Kill all
the Hebrew children born,* had .been Pha-
roah’s order. To save her boy, Jochebed,
the mother of little Moses, had put him in
in that queer boat and launched him. His
sister, Miriam, stood oa the bank watching
that precious craft. She was far enough
off not to draw attention to the boat, but
near enough to offer protection. There
she stands on the bank—Miriam, the poet-
ess; Miriam, the quick-witted; Miriam, the
faithful; though very human, for in after
time she demonstrated it.
Oh, was not Miriam, the sister of Moses,
‘doing a good thing, an important thing, a
; 5 J
‘when she defended her helpless brother
glortous thing when she watched the boat
woven of river plants and made water-tight
with asphaltum, carrying its one passen=
ger? Did she not put all the ages of time
and of a coming eternity under obligation
from the perils aquatie, reptilian and
ravenous? She it was that brought that
wonderful babe and its mother together, so
that Ire was reared to ho the deliverer of his
nation, when otherwise, if saved at all from
the rushes of the Nile, he would have been
only one more of the God-defying Pha=
roahs; for Princes& Thermutis, of the hath
ing-house; would have inherited the crown
of Egypt; and, as she had no child of her
own, this adopted child would have come
to coronation, Had there been no Miriam
there would have been no Moses. What a
garland for a faithful sisterhood! !
Miriam was the oldest of the family;
Moses and Aaron, her brothers, - were
younger. Oh the power of the elder sister
to help decide the brother's character for
usefulness and for heaven! She can keep
off from her brother more evils than Miriam
could have driven back water-fowl or croco-
dile from the ark of bulrushes. The older
sister decides the direction in which the
cradle boat shall sail. By gentleness, by
good sense, by Christian principle she can
turn it toward the palace, not of a wicked
Pharaoh, but of a holy God; and a brighter
princess than Thermutis should lift him out
of peril, even religion, whose ways are
ways of pleasantness and all her paths are’
peace. The older sister, how much the
world owes her! * Born while yet the family
was in limited circumstances, she had to
hold and take care of her younger brothers.
And if there is anything that excites my
sympathy, itis a little girl lugging around
a great fat child ana getting her ears
boxed because she can not kéep him quiet!
By the time she gets to young womanhood
she is pale and worn out, and her attrac-
tiveness has heen sacrificed on the altar of
sisterly fldelity and she is consigned to
celibacy, and society call her by an unfair
name; but in heaven they call her Miriam.
Let sisters not begrudge the time and
care destowed on a brother. It is hard to
believe that any boy that you know so ell
as your brother can ever turn out anything
very useful. Well, he may not be a Moses.
There is only one of that kind needed for
six thousand years. ButI tell what youf®
brother will be-—either a blessing or a
curse to society, and a candidate for happi=-
ness or wretchedness. He will, like Moses,
have the choice between rubies and living
coals; and your influence will have much
to do with his decision. Ile may not, like
Moses, be the deliverer of a nation, but he
may, after your father and -mother are
gone, bo the deliverer of a household.
What thousands of homes to-day are piloted
by brothers! There are properties now
well invested and yielding income for the
support of sisters and younger brothers
because the older brother rose to the
leadership from the day the father lay down
to die. Whatever you do for your brothers
will come back to you again.
Don’t snub him. Don’t depreciate his
ability. Don’t talk discouragzingly about
his future. Don’t let Miriam get down off
the bank of the Nile and wade out and upset
the ark of bulrushes. Don’t tease him.
Don’t let jealousy ever touch a sister's
soul, as it so often does, because her brother
gets more honor or more means. Liven
Miriam, the heroine of the text, was struck
by that evil passion of jealousy. She had
possessed unlimited influence over Moses,
and now he marries, and not only so, but
marries a black woman from Ethiopia; and
Miriam is so disgusted and outraged at
Moses, (irst because helhad marriedat all, and
next because he had practiced miscegena-
tion, fthat ‘she is drawn into a frenzy, and
then begins to turn white, and gets white
as a corpse, and then whiter than a Corpse.
Her complexion is like chalk, the fact is,
she has the Egyptian leprosy. And now
the brother whom she had defended on the
Nile comes to her rescue in a prayer that
brings her restoration. Let there he no
| streaks of green, blue, yellow, black
i have their meaning.
room in all your house for jealousy either
to sit or stand. It is a leprous abomina-
tion. Your brother's success, O sisters, is |
your success. His victories will be your
victories. ‘ )
If you only knew it, your interests are
identical. Of all the families of the earth
that ever stood together, perhaps the most -
conspicuous is the family of the Roths-
childs. As Mayer Anselm Rothschild was
about to die, in 1812, he gathered his chil-
drenabout him—Anselm, Solomon, Nathan,
Charles and James—and made them promise |
that they would always be united on
’Change. Obeying that injunction, they
have been the mightiest commercial power
on earth, and at the raising or lowering of
their scepter nations have risen or fallen.
That illustrates how mach, on a large seule
and for selfish purposes, a united family
may achieve. But suppose that instead of |
a magnitude of dollars as the object, it be
doing good, and making salutary impres- |
sion, and raising this sunken world, how
much more ennobiing! Sister, you do |
your part, and brother will do his part. If
Miriam will lovingly watch the boat on the
Nile, Moses will help her when leprous dis-
asters strike.
General Bauer, of the Russian cavalry,
had in early life wandered off in the army,
and the family supposed he was dead. Af-
ter he gained a fortune he encamped one
day in Husam, his native place, and mado
a banquet; and among the great military
men who were to dine he invited a plain
miller and his wife, who lived near by and |
who, affrighted, came, fearing some harm |
would be done them. The miller and his
wife were placedone on each side of the |
General at the table. Thel General asked
the miller all about his family, and the
miller said that he had two brothers and a
sister. *‘No other brothers?” “My younger
brother went off with the army many years
ago, and no doubt was long ago killed.”
Then the General said: “Soldiers, I am
this man’s younger brother, whom he
thought was dead.” And how loud was
the cheer, and how warm was the embrace!
Brother and sister, you need as much of
mn introduction to each other as they did.
You do not know each other. You think
your brother is grouty and cross and queer,
and ho thinks you are selfish and proud
and unlovely. Both wrong! That brother
will be a prince in some woman's eyes, and
that sister a queen in the estimation of
some man. That brother is a magnificent
fellow, and that sister is a morning in June.
Come, let me introduce you; ‘‘Moses, this
is Miriam.” “Miriam, this is Moses.” Add
seventy-five per cent. to your present ap-
preciatlon of ieach other, and when you

cold cheek, wet from the recent washing,

lips in affectionate caress. - Let it have all

I read of a child in the’ country who was
detained at a neighbor’s house on astormy
night by some fascinating stories that were
being told him, and then looked out and
saw it was so dark he did not dare go home,
The incident impressed me the more be-
cause in my childhood I had much the
same experience. The boy asked his com-
rades to go with him, but they dared not.
It got later and later—7 o'clock, 8 o'clock,
9 o'clock. “Ob,” he said, *I wish I were
home!” As he opened the door the last
time a blinding flash of lightning and a
deafening roar overcame him. But after.
awhile he saw in the distance a lantern,
and lo! his brother was coming to fetch
him home, and the lad stepped out and
with swift feet hastened on to his brother,
who took him home, where they were so
glad to greet him, and for a long time sup-
per had been waiting. So may it be when
the night of death comes and our earthly
friends can not go with us, and we dare
not go alone; may our Brother, our elder
Brother, our Friend closer than d brother,
come out to meet us with the light of the
promises, which shall be a lantern to our
feet; and then we will go in to join our
loved ones waiting for us, supper all ready,
the marringe supper of the Lamb! :
