- .The above notes will partially explain how I came to assist in the cutting of my friend Mr, Johnson's throat.The scene was a shanty in a gully on the Australian coast, shaded Ly the customary eucalyptus and watered by the inevitable 8\u201c .\u2019 \u2018There were three of us, \u2018all young cadets\u2014Johnson, the hero of the incident, O'Shaughnessy.an Irish gentleman of somewhat \u2018reckless disposition, as shall be dis- eloscd, and myself.Johnson, to gain some private ;ends, got diphtheria.As we Were \u2018at the fag-end of creation a doctor's fou would have beon soveral hundred pounds by the time he got thore, and Johnson would probably have been dead long before.My only medical knowledge was a slight sacquaintance with the extraction of ttesth, and this was of little use fo diphtheria.O'Shaughnessy, howe ever, had some ex ce of the |dissnsp, or ssid he bad, and immedi- ed to \u2018\u2018do #0.\u201d : uch so that ono night John- ison was gasping for wind, and \u2018at the point of death.: \u201cWhat's to, be dome?\u2019 I asked 1 G'Spaughnessy, who had just come | ones: in an offhand manner.about Ke ough, that was ii order to them, wanted to Reep Johnson alive; Bob Sure him ito butchers\u2019 creepy since I accepted the invita tion of the sword-swallower at a circus to push the sword down his throat.I had killed hundreds of sheep and cattle in the ordinary way of business without a thought \u2014an operation which sometimes caused the new chum to faint\u2014but everything is a matter of custom.The most reckless rough-rider will be an abject coward in a gale at sea; the daredevil V.C.puts up the white flag and surrenders unconditionally when it comes to making an after- dinner speech or getting married.\u201cIt's quite painless, you know, Johnson,\u201d I observed, not that I knew anything about it, but 1 thought it was the professional thing to say.\u2018Whereabouts do I go for him?\" said O'Shaughnessy, brandishing the knife in front of Johnson, who groaned, \u201cIn here's quite safe, isn't it?\u201d \u201cHardly,\u201d 1 answered\u2014'\u2018rather near the jugular!\u201d Here the patient, whinnied again, but was quickly reduced to submission, \u201cThen in here?\u2019\u2019 pinking him under the gills among some of the more important arteries, in the playful way sometimes observed in barbers, \u2018\u2018Probably kill him,\u2019 I suggested, end from his contortions I fancied the patient agreed with me.Shouldn't try it there if it was a horse\u2019\u2014for I know more about equine than human anatomy\u2014\u2018\u2018not à valuable horse.\u201d \u2018We shall be tried for manslaughter if it's a\u2014a failure, won't we?\u2019\u2019 \u2018\u2019Ah! I hadn't thought of that,\u2019 I said\u2014the sufferer apparently had, for he gasped freely, \u201cLaw's a tricky thing.\u201d \u2018\u2019Ah, I remember now\u2014just under the apple of the throat!\" exclaimed O'Shaughnessy, recalling his one piece of knowledge about the operation.The whole thing turned out simple enough in practice.I held my breath as O'Shoughnessy, after fumbling about with the knife as if he were going to carve a fowl, thrust it through the skin under the \u201cAdam's apple,\u2019 fished out the butt end of the severed larynx and covered it with a handkerchief with a vague idea of keeping out microbes, but in reality this did some good in protecting it from dust.The bleeding, I was surprised to soe, was not more than a spoonful or two.Dut it was uncanny to watch the breathing going on through the neck instead of at the mouth.Well, the agonizing suffocation ceased at once.How we should have avoided blood-poisoning or joined up the larynx eventually I had as little idea as C'Shaughnessy, and he hadn't much.By a thousand-to-one chance a doctor passed the shanty next day, and he finished the job.Johnson recovered.He thanked us cordially for so kindly cutting his throat, although his manner led us to believe that he would never be operated on by an amateur again.But every.deed of daring has its risks, and one can face them with so much calmer courage when the risks are taken by-somebody else! Puke of Cambriége*s Wife.The most romantic feature ef the late Duke of Cambridge's life was his marriage, which was often incorrectly described as \u2018\u2018morganatic,\u201d\u2019 when, in fact, it was legally no marriage at al\u2019.Under tho provisions of the Royal Marriage Act, no marriage of a member of the Royal Family is valid without the consent of the reigning sovereign, and this was never obtained by the Duke.Why it was not given has often been the subject of wonder, since several mem~ bers of the Royal Family have since married persons not of royal birth.The Duke's wife, who was known throughout tho remainder of her life as Mrs.FitzGeorge, was an actress, & Mjes Farebrother, daughter of a printer in Bow street.She was the reigning beauty of the Lyceum during the Keeley regime, and is still remembered as Abdullah, captain of the Forty Thieves, in one gorgeous extravaganta, The marriage took place at Arbornkill Church, attached to the barracks in Dublin, where Prince George was then quartered with his regiment.It was a quiet affair, and the happy couple proceeded at once to :Montrelier House\u2014a capital brick three-storoyed edifice .hard by.His marriage Was not re- \u2018cognized at Court, and is not referred to in the \u2018\u2019Posrages.\u201d\u201d But the Duke and the actress were very happy.for she was lady of great personal charm, amiable, and an ex- , cellent talker.There were three sons and one daughter, who were kindly treated.by Her.: Late Majesty, and had the entree of the royal palaces, though their mother, the extrava- ginza actiess,\u2019 daughter of the prin- na net.° sons are Col.George Fits George, Rear-Admiral Adolphus Fits- Geor, .and Col.ug Char more accurately by Hopkinson in the case of steel.Round a bar of this metal he wound a coll of copper wire insulated with asbestus and jacketed with layers of asbestus paper.The temperature of the wire was followed during the experiment by connecting the coil to a Wheatstone\u2019s bridge to find the variation in its resistance and from this the variation in temperature.\u2018The steel bar was then beated bright red in a furnace and allowed to cool.The temperature fell regularly to 680 degrees C., then rose to 712 degrees C., when it again diminished.COAL TAR PRODUCTS.Some ef the Things We Get From This One Time Nuisance.When coal gas was first introduced .as an illuminant for large towns the : tar which is condensed from the gas was looked upon as a nuisance.However, chemists discovered that coal tar was an exceedingly complicated compound and lent itself admirably to the production of a great number of use- ' ful chemicals.8o we find today that all the various brilliant and beautiful dyes employed for coloring various kinds of fabrics are produced from this substance.Coal tar also furnishes the basis for several kinds of medicines, such as tri- onal, sulphonal and so on.Saccharine, which is a substitute for sugar, is also made from coal tar.Carbolie acid (phenol), the most important and best known antiseptic and disinfectant, is a product of coal tar.Bensol, a clear and colorless liquid resembling alcobol to some extent, is another distillate which is employed for removing grease spots.: Then we have naphthalene, a substance which to some extent resembles camphor and is employed, like camphor, to protect woolen fabrics from moths, THE FIRST BANKS.They Were Established In Italy In the Ninth Century.The first banks of which we have rec ord were established in Italy so far back as 808 by the Lombard Jews, who had benches, or counters, erected in the market places for the exchange of money and bills, It is from their bance, or bench, that banks have taken their name.The earliest bankers were also goldsmiths and dealers in precious stones, but with the advance of civilization banking became a distinct business.Merchants had deposited their cash in the mint in the Tower of London until Charles I.laid hands upon the money In 1640.In 1643 traders agreed to lodge their money with the goldsmiths of Lombard street, who had strong chests for their own valuables, and this was the origin of banking in Briton The chief banks in Europe were established as follows: Venice, 1171; Ge- non, 1345; Hamburg, 1619; Holland, 1685; Bank of England, 1694; Scotland, 1605; Ireland, 1783; France, 1803; Unit- od Btates, 1816.Handwriting on Iron.It was an accident that led to the discovery of the method of transferring handwriting to iron.An iron founder while experimenting with molten iron under different conditions ac- cldentally dropped a ticket into a mold.He presently found that the type of the ticket was transferred to the iron in distinct characters.Following up the {dea which this fact suggested, he procured a beatproof ink, with which he wrote invertedly on ordinary white paper.This paper was introduced into the mold before the molten iron was poured in.When the mold cooled the paper bad been consumed by the heat, but the ink, which had remained intact had left a clear impression on the n, Unguisnly, but King of Searing Birds, No one would be likely to imagine, for example, that so heavy and, in fact, apparently ungainly a bird as a pelican is a king among soaring birds.After much flopping when these great birds bave acquired beadway thé broad wings are spread, and in majestic circles they mount skyward, with only an occasional flap of the wing, often passing beyond the range of onéd\u2019s vision.\u2014Country Life In America.A Modeat Petition, Little Johnnie had been taught to sok a blessing at the table.One morning there was company present.to breakfast, and Johnnie, being a little embarrassed, made the following And every morning out we go into the old back yard To choose 8 spot where digging soil won't be so awful hard, For Doris says\u2014bless her dear heartie She knows that I will do my part But theres a thought that worries me through all these youthful depredations\u2014 I'd like to ask her if I may, and yet I do not dare, \u2019 Plant something that is good to eat out in our garden fair.Will she permit me one small spot To raise spring onions?1 fear not.«Jack Appleton in Cincinnati Times-Star.;

chalr, The other members present were: Professor A.W.Kneeland, M.A., BO.L., Rev.A.T.Love, B.A, H.B.Ames, B.A., Principal W.Peterson, L.L.D., C.M.G., G.J.Walker, Principal Robins, L.L.D,

discussion at this meeting were the motions of Mr.Shurtleff to the effect that the number of marke allowed for Latin and Greek at the June examinations, be not greater than the maximum allowed other subjects including French, and therefore be reduced from 200.to 100, and that the amount of Latin required to be taught in academies should be reduced by at least one quarter.These notions were strongly opposed by Principal Peterson and other members of the committee and were lost upon a division.Some of those who voted against a reduction in the number of marks given for Latin expressed themselves favorable to increase the number of marks given for French.The matter was referred to the sub-committee on the course of study.The sub-committee on the teaching of academy grades in model schools made its report.This report advised the abolition of the present distinction of superior schools as academic and model schools and the classifying of such instead as superior schools, fhe grades of such schools to be termed \u201cyears\u201d numbering from one upwards.The schools thus denominated super- for schools to be permitted to\u2019 do the work of as many grades as they desire.In order vo discourage attempts to carry on the work of too many years in any such school the report recommends that the marks of such pupils only as shall have successfully passed the examination of their eev- eral years shall be considered.Inasmuch as the change in the nomenclature of the school would necessitate a change in the educational law of the Province, the report was left in abeyance and & committee appointed to confer with the Catholic committee to the end of securing such change in the nomenclature of the schools of the Province.Professor Kneeland made a motion to the effect that considering the scarcity of teachers a local temporary elementary diploma good for one year be granted to candidates therefore who shall have passed the examination of Grade II Academy successfully, shall have completed their ceived a recommendation from the Inspector.The majority of the committee, while recognizing the scarcity of teachers thought it wonld be an injustice to those holding regular diplomas to grant elementary diplomas upon the conditions of the motion and also thought if it were made easy for candidates to receive diplomas such as the motion indicated they would not be as likely to prepare themselves for the regular diploma and considering further that the granting of such diplomas would not be any advantage over the granting of permits to teach as is done at the present time, rejected the motion.Reports were received from McGill and Bishop\u2019s College Universities in regard to extra mural courses leading up to the B.A.degree for teachers.Bishop's College offered a four year\u2019s course to teachers of which three years could be taken extra murally and only one year, either the fourth to extra mural students but in order to assist teachers who
